He doesn't just wear sunglasses for the aesthetic, but also because he has light sensitivity.
Because the lighter your eye color is, the more sensitive your eyes are likely to be, and since red eyes (like original coloring manga Mic has) are caused by a complete lack of pigmentation, he probably has really sensitive eyes. So as a result, we get:
Tiny little teenage Mic (who wore sunglasses first)
Mic wearing sunglasses outside
Mic wearing sunglasses inside
Mic wearing sunglasses in florescent hospital lighting
Mic even wears sunglasses for formal events
You know where he doesn't wear them?
Helping with training, at the bar, and during a festival. Y'know. Places that don't have such harsh lighting.
There you have it. Present Mic wears sunglasses not only because he thinks they make him look cool, but also because he legitimately needs them.
Whumpee that used to be so good at their job/role, but now forgets things, struggles to learn new systems, who feels guilt and the gnawing fear of being left behind because oh god, am I useless now?
Whumpee who blows tiny harmless things out of proportion. Teammate showing them again how to use a tool sighs, or sets something down too hard, or doesn’t speak? They hate me, they hate that I can’t do this right.
Unable to tell anyone because why? How spoiled and selfish would they have to be to complain about being a burden? Who would they tell?
They internalize all of it, and just try harder and harder, but the stress of it just makes it worse.
We know that Kit will still be mad at Ty when TLKOF starts and that their relationship will probably be distant/cold. Do you think Kit would ever be cold to Ty in front of Dru? And if so, how do you think Dru would react?
OOOO THAT’S INTERESTING!
okay so! i think he will be cold bc he’s a freaking herondale and i think it’s just in their blood to be angsty, petty drama queens 🫢 and tbh him being so cold to ty will freaking ruin me bc ik kit loves him so much (like SO much) and ik it will also be painful for kit himself, bc his cruelty is gonna be a kind of defence mechanism and he doesn’t wanna get hurt again so he acts like he doesn’t care. my poor baby :(
but i think that if kit and ty are still in their “acting like strangers” phase and dru happens to be there, it would be hella interesting to see dru’s reaction to kit’s coldness! i think that she would definitely stand up for her brother but also be extremely confused bc obviously the kit she knows and is friends with is funny and sweet and so far from cruel. so she might take him aside and ask what’s going on (ty is her brother but that doesn’t mean that kit isn’t her friend!). honestly, if she does see kit being mean to ty in some way then i think she would catch on that their fight was actually something super serious if it’s making kit act this way. she’ll probably try to snap him out of it and and fiercly defend ty! but really she just wants them both to make up and be happy <3
maybe beginning the deep clean of my room on a day where my nose was already more sensitive and sneezy than usual was a bad idea…perhaps i should’ve thought a little harder about how itchy and allergic the combination of dust and lingering cat hair would make me, let alone on top of what i’m worried might be an oncoming cold—and a very sneezy, hitchy one at that.
my room might be cleaner than when i started but i’ve certainly made a mess of myself and am sneezing so frequently still that i can barely make this post
A story in three parts starting with too many Blood and Sands for the boys. Let them drunkenly dance and enjoy their date in a bubbly stardust haze! 💕✨️
Zevran did not have it in him to be shocked that his little sojourn back to Thedas did not last -- but it did seem cruel, even by a god's standards, that he had not been given the chance to set eyes on his true home even once during his brief visit. He's beginning to think he never will again. It is a bitter pill to swallow, and he's been forced to do so twice in one lifetime; a third might surely be enough to kill that little glimmer of hope left inside of him for good.
(then there are the thoughts of his time in Kirkwall that continue to plague him in quiet moments, when he cannot busy himself with anything else)
And now this island has the audacity to snow.
Snow is something Zevran has never truly gotten used to, even after so much experience with the terrible stuff back in Fereldan. He is a man suited for warm climates. Beaches. Sun. Not this oppressive cold that seeps into his very bones and sends his teeth chattering. To think he had once found the idea of winter frost romantic. Now he's been spending much of his days curled up under blankets whenever he does not need to leave the apartment. It's pathetic.
He is in his little cocoon of blankets when he hears a knock at the front door. It is sorely tempting not to move, let the visitor take the hint that they should leave; particularly if they happen to be here for his roommate, who is not home. But he gets up to answer, anyway, probably looking every bit as grumpy as he feels.
GUESS WHO FINALLY FINISHED THE VFLOWER DARLING DANCE PIECE ( ME ) it’s been sitting in procreate for like a month now it’s been driving me NUTS. going to be posting later on 😋
tfw listening to a certain song makes you recall the exact day and location you bought the cd this song came from
seperate building for the sports/electronics branch of the town's department store back in 2008 ish, was 11-12 years of age at the time, I was there with some classmates who wanted to go shopping for clothes for gym class and had to take me along because their mothers wanted them to include me (they usually either bullied or ignored me at school), I was browsing the CD racks while the others looked at sports bras, t-shirts and leggings (was not interested in clothing or sports at the time), and I picked out that CD and it felt like such a big purchase... 10 whole entire bucks for an album...
man I miss that store and the huge selection of electronics and media, do not at all miss the experience of feeling left out and judged for my entire everything (taste in music, lack of shared interests typical for most kids that age at that time, being childish/slow compared to the others who were already dabbling with more grown up interests and fashion trends) by kids I couldn't relate to or even really wanted to spend time with but had to just because I was in the same class and happened to share a name with one of the kids...
btw my mom said it. she said it to me looking me in the eyes. i told her about how difficult it was for me to get through those family reunions, and she admitted it was very important to her, important enough that she was just going to do it anyway.
