another reason i think that xie lian felt an instant connection on the ox cart is because he and hua cheng both grew up in xianle.

there are maybe 4 people still alive that grew up in that culture. based on my own experience, you can pick up on things like accent, cadence, references, and humor that suggest a person is from the same place as you without consciously noticing it. that sense of comfort and similarity probably played into their instant chemistry.

everybody come stand in a circle with me. we are going to pray that the season one remaster does not try to retroactively make characters who were assholes in the original more "likeable" in order to appease fans who start spitting up blood whenever a character is not a wholesome chungus blorbo glup shitto

yuri, as he often tends to, appears with little more than a call of her name in greeting. “maria!” a lazy wave of one hand, the other raising a paper bag. “got some time to spare? i brought cake.”

he may not have been a student at the academy for long, but there's still plenty of corners in the monastery that he'd made his own secret getaways in that time. west of the cathedral is the goddess tower that students flock to; yuri much prefers the peace and quiet of the monastery walls past the nearby gate, with nothing mountains and trees as far as the eye could see.

that gate, like many other things, is broken now, but it makes the task of getting past it much easier. “i used to sneak out here to clear my head when i was still a student,” he says as perches where the wall is still intact and sets the bag down next to him. lilacs flick to maria, head inclining for her to join him. “i was a blue lion then,” he continues idly, pulling out two boxes of cake from the bag, then a third, smaller jewelry box that he sets in his lap, “just like you.”

“if you come at sunset, everyone's busy at dinner and you get a good view. keep it a secret, yeah?” yuri raises a finger to his lips with a smile before extending the jewelry box toward her. inside is a silver bracelet, a little mockingbird charm hanging from it. the symbol might not scare off the monastery's invaders, but it'll shoo off a bandit or three that would rather not risk the wrath of the savage mockingbird. “happy birthday, maria.”

"Hee hee... of course!"

She follows him somewhere, anywhere really, past the long years now scattered in the grass and through the half fallen gate that once kept them. Up the makeshift steps he goes with the grace she knows him for, and Maria -- well, she clambers after. Hers is a different sort of grace, a floating sort, all clouds gusting over meadows and not so experienced in creeping up crumbling stone, yet no less delighted for the fact she stumbles in her journey.

"A Blue Lion?" She echoes curiously, once she's settled with a giggle and her giggles are all settled. It's strange; she hadn't expected Yuri to have been a Blue Lion, but then-- a Deer? No way! An Eagle? Well... maybe? At this height, the breeze pushes past her face, and she holds up a hand to brace against it, squinting at them between sun and wind, as if looking will make more sense.

In does, in a way. There is some quiet satisfaction she finds in some quiet answer, silence balanced by the blare of a toothy grin pulled cheek to cheek. A finger rises to her lips in playful mimicry, a smile halved yet a doubled joy.

"I promise!" Maria breathes her laughter and the awe that follows, opening the box by the smallest sliver she may and stealing a tiny glimpse, never mind the fact it was a gift freely offered. A flash of silver, a fluttering of lashes -- she dares to open the box further and gasps softly when she does.

For once, she doesn't rush headlong into her words, merely slipping her wrist through the loop, holding her hand up to the mellowing light. The charm turns warm under the sunset, and --

"Hee hee... heeheehee!" When she splays her fingers, an entire sky of warm colors greets her back. Rose-red eyes dart toward Yuri with the barest turn of her head.

"Yuri, did you know?" She laughs again. "You just gave me two presents instead!"

Pulling her hand to her face, she presses her cheek against her knuckles, bracelet and charm dangling from her wrist. Hardly the most elegant way to show off her new treasure, but any good gift pairs well with happiness and appreciation, and both of these the little princess has in spades.

"--Thank you, though." Her expression turns soft as she thinks of it, holding the bracelet gently to her heart. "This makes me really... really happy. I mean it! I'll wear it every day!"

The silver bird spreads its wings and Maria wonders if it means anything; has it stowed away any wishes in its heart? A bid for whimsy, or even freedom? Whatever it is, the little princess lets it keep them, and hers along with it. They will never know that she has never felt at ease at an empty table, silly as it may sound. There is no need to, for now the whole sunset holds the secret Yuri shared with her; now the whole sunset is her friend, and the youngest daughter of Macedon will never eat another lonely dinner again.

Alrighty, headcanons for Dally! :3

●The reason why the ends of Dally's hair is brown was because he used to dye it. It's not that he was insecure, but it reminded him of his no-good father since he got his hair color from him. Though he soon just didnt give a fuck and stopped dyeing it.

●When he first arrived to Tulsa, he had a THICK New York accent. The gang could barely understand him. Now he has a slight New York accent mixed with a slight Southern one.

●He LOVES hard candy. You'd always find him with a Gobstoppers in his mouth if he wasn't smoking. He also has a pack or two of hard lemon candy in his pocket along with a Gobstoppers pack.

●He doesn't like animals much, but he doesn't mind cats since Johnny loves them(also a headcanon of mine about Johnny), so he'll feed strays in the lot if Johnny begs enough.

●Almost got banned from Pony's school for yelling at the couch during one of Pony's track meets for something about Pony getting a penalty or something.

●He sees Buck Merril as a kind of father figure he never had growing up, but would never admit it.

Well, thats all I got, hope you enjoy! ^^

Laios and Marcille queer platonic pairing of all time

Studio Ghibli-ass I don't care whether we get wedding rings and/or matching BFF necklaces I just want you in my life and even more than that your happiness trope my beloved

Your Marcille smile post is so good got me thinking bout that Miyazaki quote about improving and caring for each other

YEEEEESSSSS I love that so so much... The more time passes the more I see the Falin & Marcille & Laios trio as a queerplatonic type situation. It's so so dear to me.... I have an analysis planned about that I'd like to get to sooner rather than later, but I've been rather focused on art lately (Almost finished doing the last few tweaks before posting my graduate comic I made 2 years ago oof)... Right now my vague lineup is: Laios & Falin's differences, Laios analysis through enneagrams tritype, then this one— Laios and touch & the importance of Marcille: queerness in Dungeon Meshi

To spoil it a fair amount, something something Marcille is Laios' comfort zone in humans and she pushes him to grow more hopeful with friendships and connection, notably as seen through their relationship with touch both separate and together, how freely she gives it and how uncomfortable he was receiving it at first. Something something Dungeon Meshi is a lot about being a misfit and going against norms, and trying to understand each other both when labels are pushed onto you and overly define you and when you don't have any, showing understanding and being understood in turn, even when you're an inbetween, when you're abstract or hard to get and define. Something something Izutsumi actually plays a huge role in this too! And yk, something something platonic intimacy is lovely, casual physical affection is nice, monkeys pluck bugs off of each other and cats love to get scritches, shed the human principles that make you fear eating monsters or plainly seek out affection. Humans need hugs :) In a time and place where there are no labels available, for what you are or what your relationship is, you can still find love and understanding <33

Ambiguity in storytelling can often be a feature and not a bug. Ambiguous relationships can be thematic!! Queerplatonic relationships I love youuuu!!!!!!!!

Ambiguity is if nothing else fascinating to analyze. This one's gonna be a monster since it tackles many scenes, arcs and characters (2024 Jan me noted that she wanted to put in a huge Thistle & Falin section too?? Need to follow the scribbles I left here and there like a paper trail to put it all together again...) but I reallyyyy wanna get it out

Small doodle of Gordie and Roan with a little side kiss :33

Some small details about their ship:

- Enemies to Lovers (more like Enemies to Reluctant Friends to Miscommunication to Friends with Benefits to Actual Friends to Lovers :,3)

- Since both have pretty established fans, they often do media interviews together to just feed both fanbases (mainly Gordie’s suggestion, Roan does no care for media attention..)

- Roan and Gordie are opposites of each other, while being similar in how they strive to always be better (Roan is just a bit more unhealthy…)

- Speaking of opposites, Roan’s favorite season is Summer and Gordie’s is winter/fall :] Roan isn’t used to the cold due to living in Aloha; Gordie always been surrounded by freezing temperatures he’s used to it..but hot simmering temperatures aren’t the best for him!

- Roan’s nicknames for Gordie: Dick, Gords (he’s not a big fan of affectionate nicknames)

- Gordie’s nicknames for Roan: Love, Darling, Shortstack (Roan is only 3 inches shorter than Gordie…)

- Both support each other when they have Pokemon battle showcases; only enthusiastic screaming, nothing less!

- Roan isn’t a fan of pda unlike Gordie, but he is a bit clingy with Gordie privately..

Anyhow sorry for the lack of Gordie drawings rn I’m trying to catch up with schoolwork, work, and also my random obsession with Syndrome ahem..I have a new sketch in for Gordie!! I’ll be posting it soon! okay I go back to my grind!

I underestimated how long it would take to print 100 copies of a double sided page and i 10000% shouldve used the office printer and not the library printer. But im in for the long haul now. Fingers crossed that the collections people dont come in here and get upset with me for using all of their paper/ink

[br1ghtestlight]

my pet peeve is when ppl online DELETE their blogs/videos/accounts instead of just leaving them up and abandoning them or setting them to private </3 especially internet creators where theres information on their accounts that might not be accessible anywhere else. which i realize is an incredibly entitled opinion to have but as someone with pretty bad memory issues when something existed and then is just lost forever especially when not a lot of ppl knew it existed to begin w/. like thats genuinely soo stressful for me thats why im trying my best to archive ii stuff when im able to

thinking about how both tfa (2015) and rogue one (2016) came out post-disney's acquisition of lucasfilms (2012) and both those films live on so fondly in my heart but have also, somehow, been earmarked in my head as the last true additions to star wars canon to have come out ever since
