#this story crushed my heart

Look at those hands. One cupping Sam's face, the other petting his hair.

We're not shown Dean's face here, but we can figure out what his eyes are saying.

I totally fell in love with Dean's capacity of expressing his love with his hands grabbing, dragging around and petting baby brother. It's a perfect mix of a mother, a big brother and a man in love. It's Care at the utmost.

having read nearly all of the Jeeves short stories, it’s so funny to me that Bertie’s bisexuality manifests as casting a wide but shallow net at girls and a narrow but ridiculously deep net at men. He thinks girls are pretty on a reasonably frequent basis, and has tried to marry at least four women thus far (not counting the unwanted engagements), but when it doesn’t work out he’s over it in 24 hours. Meanwhile he shows absolutely no interest in and never gives flattering depictions of 99% of the men in his life, but will praise Jeeves to anyone who will listen, wax poetic about his appearance (and get defensive on his behalf about it when a child insults it), and is absolutely inconsolable when they are separated.

(also Bertie is in no way allosexual. he is canonically terrified at the thought of reproducing. and due to the narrow but deep net on the other end I don’t imagine he’s going around sleeping with loads of men, either. that man’s either demi as hell or just entirely ace)

Remember how I mentioned that if I had a nickel for every time I wanted to romance a character from HM/SOS that wasn't a bachelor, that I'd have two? This is the other nickel.

Shoutout to 8-yr-old me for trying to woo Carter on the PSP 🙌🏻🙌🏻📢

Oof I'm kinda scared to ask... Why do you not want to be an artist professionally?

Its just like, incredibly miserable in my experience.

Everyone wants their dream job of being paid to draw whatever the hell they want but 99% of the time you are hired and tasked to draw things that you don't have a lot of interest in, professionally speaking, and constantly getting your artistic efforts undermined by the rest of the team (this is esp. true in the videogame industry) artists always try to push for better designs and get their takes watered down for the sake of general public pleasing. Also you don't have a security blanket unless you're under long term contract. Most freelancers live gig to gig with the fear of not being able to support themselves if they don't take a job to take a break. Videogame and movie jobs arent stable because companies never keep the art teams, they are laid off and rehired whenever there is a new project

During my major, I drew nonstop for 4 years for class. Not always things I enjoyed, but also not always things I didnt like. In fact I enjoyed my major immensely! It was so fun. But the burnout is very, very real, and the workload was similar (even inferior to) regular art jobs. What happens if you like to draw in your off time? You spend your days making and pumping out art nonstop for hours, and then on your free time breaks you draw some more? I personally couldn't do it. I just wanted to do other things

And like.... I spent the first three years being told by teachers (people with stable, contract based jobs) how cool of a job it is to do art, and then the last year getting grilled on how insanely hard it is to make it out there. If you don't have connections, money, an audience, a studio, it's actually impossible. You need to be your own lawyer, abide by the very strict self employment rules that take a severe chunk out of your earnings. Do all of your finance/schedule/marketing etc while on top of that constantly producing work (I know there's people who can do it but, personally, I cannot) I really admire the people who were able to build themselves up as artists from the ground like this (because its definitely possible, just insanely hard)

Also, making something you love into your job ends up being miserable too. I experienced this with patreon, which I posted to as like a chill thing and it just got increasingly hard to make content for it or just post in general, even drawing my own ocs and sharing stuff about them started to feel like a chore.

Maybe it's just me though, this has just been my personal experience but yeah in general I realized I am immensely happier just keeping art as a hobby or its gonna suck my soul out (Since I already experienced it)

I don't mean to discourage anyone, I think the world in general needs more artists. But for that we would need to actually be taken seriously and valued, which sadly we are not, at all. And if there's anyone reading that is considering art as a job: it is absolutely grueling. It's not an easy job. Even if you desperately love art it can suck the life out of you and the joy for what you do

(As an extra sidenote. Artists are usually exploited using this mentality as well. That they are supposed to love their job. So they expect you to work your wrists off "For the passion". Dont fall victim to it)

One thing I love about Wolfwood (in Stampede specifically; there's some overlap with '98 of course, but I haven't read Maximum) is he's very much a man who is caught in between. He's too human to fully embrace being a monster, but he's too monstrous to accept himself as human. He hates the people he works for (and with), but nonetheless he dedicates himself to their cause because he thinks it's the best way to achieve his goals. And when he meets Vash... he both wants to embrace Vash's pacifistic ideals and knows too well the consequences of doing so, and so he just... can't... quite. He tries, but he also tries to just drag Vash over to his own more practical/cynical place of being.

For all of the crap he gives Vash in Stampede for not choosing a side, Wolfwood is also someone who is perpetually on the fence.

I think one big difference between the two of them in Stampede is that Vash has more or less accepted the duality of his nature. (Whether or not he's happy about it is another question.) For Vash, the only way to be is how he already is, and if that leads to scars and incidental deaths and constant criticism from so many around him, that's just how it is. He's Vash the Stampede, and he must keep trying along the path he's decided on even if that path doesn't make sense to anyone else.

But Wolfwood still isn't sure of his own path. He wants to be one or the other. He knows it's easier to either embrace the monster and live or embrace being human and die. Being what he is means risking being a monster and still dying for it, and I'm not sure he's willing to accept that version of himself.

But it does lead to him being passively suicidal. As Nysh noted in their post on fighting styles in Stampede, Wolfwood doesn't really dodge or use defensive maneuvers much. Thing is... even though he's both tougher than most and has magic healing potions of revival, it's still in his best interest to avoid damage, especially if he ever wants to be free of the Eye of Michael. I mean, they don't exactly seem like the kind of people who will be like, "Oh, you're leaving our service? Well, if you need any more of our fancy healing vials, feel free to stop by any time!" So it's better for him to hoard as many of those as he can, save them for a rainy day, and use them as sparingly as possible.

But he doesn't. Or, rather, he does the bare minimum. It's as if he wants to die, to be treated as a monster and taken out for all he's done. But he also wants to live so he can keep protecting that which is most valuable to him.

I'm sure this won't bite him in the ass down the way. Nosiree.
