Was it fair to keep it from him, at this point? When it imperiled their shooting schedule?
He laid a hand over Charles’s, where it still sat on his shoulder. “You should know,” said Edwin, and then faltered. Tried again. More to the point this time. “I cannot possibly bring myself to disappoint…” The word you refused to be pushed out of his mouth. “…Aadhya.”

Another scene from the Restaurant AU, the very end of this segment.
(I cannot currently draw people at a normal scale, so instead of the close-ups, have the opposite for a change!)

Imparo l’italiano
I started learning Italian a week ago (again) and I need to share my journey with you to ensure I don’t abandon it. I’d been learning Italian on and off, but honestly I remember nothing. So, if you speak Italian and want to help me, fell free to point out my mistakes.
I only know basic phrases by now.
“Voglio mangiare”, “Parlo un po’ d’italiano” “Mi piace questa città” and etc.
I’ll still be posting memes about Steven Grant though.

OC SMASH or PASS
Tagged by @tarmac-rat & @luvwich! Thank ya kindly! 🤠
RULES: pretty self explanatory. include physical descriptions or pics, and propaganda. the “other” label can be used for “sexuality misalignment” (ie: oc is femme and you’re gay, vice versa or you aren’t into smashing but a specific thing you wanna do with them like perhaps hug or study them under a microscope idc).
You'll never guess who...
Propaganda:
Just The Facts:
Full Name: Valerie Hye-jin Li
Aliases: V, Stinky Grandpa
Height: 5’3”
Age: 27
Pronouns: she/her
Gender: Cis woman
Sexuality: Bisexual
Features: Shoulder length purple hair with bangs and an undercut (natural hair color is brown), amber kiroshis, facial cyberware across cheeks and bridge of nose, scar on the left side of her face, minimal makeup (usually just eyeliner and lip color), kind of crappy black geometrical tattoos to cover up a lot of body scars, monowire, reinforced skeleton and tendons, subdermal armor (mostly bulletproof), nice legs
Pros:
Can kick most other people’s asses
Absolutely has your back in a fight
Loyal to a fault for the people she cares about, though it takes a while to earn her trust
Tends to dress very practically but knows how to dress for any occasion
Detail-oriented and tactical - could map out an infil and exfil route with three minutes and a pack of chewing gum
Good at improvising
Pretty flexible in terms of position in the bedroom
Not easily embarrassed (unless you're giving her a genuine compliment, in which case she will become confused and probably start blushing)
Cute when she’s not being surly
Very squishable
Likes cuddling
Enjoys explosions
Cons:
Kicks her own ass
Standoffish and prone to brooding
Holds merciless grudges - has killed people she's known for less then five minutes for saying the wrong thing
Horrible taste in music
Apart from ass-kicking, sulking, and long walks through the city, has no discernible hobbies
Zero table manners - elbows on the table, talks with her mouth full, crams food straight into her gob
Not the most adventurous in the bedroom (maybe up for trying depending on what it is, might require some convincing)
Doesn’t fully understand how compliments work - giving or receiving
Will probably steal your clothes if they’re comfier than hers
Doesn’t like surprises
Stinky - especially after work and gigs (does wear deodorant and bathe regularly but butt-kicking is sweaty work)
Snores and hogs the covers
And I would love to hear your explanations yay, nay, or other in the tags or in a reply lol. I love deets and I'll make sure Grandpa doesn't read them. (No decapitations today. Promise 🥰 Plus, I know most of you reading this aren't misogynistic a-holes so you're safe from Grandpa's wrath.)
Tagging with no pressure: @baublekute @shimmer-like-agirl @merge-conflict @elmknight
@wanderingaldecaldo @eletaniaaa @nncc77 @aggravateddurian
Maybe you've done this, maybe you haven't. Maybe I just need your votes. OR maybe I want to smash your OCs. Who's to say...

Curious question, what exactly is Spencer's (more lore-y/important) role within CSTM besides from (most likely) being the "storywise a well-written villain, irl just a cocky idiot"
Like I mean he did try to scrap/cause harm to Hiro, but any other crimes he's done to affect other characters' arcs or/and big plots?
( -🧀non)
spencer's most notable influence was in the HOTR arc. story-wise, he is supposed to challenge hiro's values and give the older man a metaphorical slap to the face (funnily enough, spencer chasing hiro around the island reminded hiro that he still wanted to live and gave him a reason to carry on despite losing his family and being a patron of the gold dust). spencer's biggest crime is trying to hunt down hiro. he doesn't get any more worse than that, luckily. I've mentioned his other disrespectful as hell actions multiple times in this blog too but atp it's more annoying than insensitive or offensive to gordon and scott
writing sense I wanted to make spencer gordon's antithesis. the basis is that "spencer is what gordon could've turned out had it not been for his loved ones" and I just wrote what I wanted to write! they represent both sides of the gresley family -- gordon grew up with a loving family, spencer grew up in an environment where his relatives would rip each other apart for land and inheritance. gordon lost his family members bit by bit while spencer's still standing (with a few loses). gordon and spencer both heavily struggled with maintaining long-term friendships in their youths, but while gordon eventually hardened his heart and let his short lived connections come and go, spencer messed with people just to feel some sort of relief in his heart. both gordon and spencer are old pompous showoffs, but while gordon strived to become a better person because he realizes that he doesn't want to lose the people important to him anymore, spencer gave up on correcting himself because he thinks he's way too far gone (and being mean is way easier). then hiro came to view
spencer's a fun character. he makes me a bit sad. then I remember that he visits his cousin's funerals for the food and it makes me stifle my laughter like that one ish*wspeed gif
