I don't know why I drew this.

I was rewatching the first episode, and the image of this blasted a hole in my brain, so I had to get it out of there.

Also, I have a version where the contents of the "Black shadow box" are replaced with green, so if I wanted to put something else there, it would be really easy, especially since there is no green in the image other wise. The fact that the thing is extremely crooked is killing me, but I didn't notice until almost everything was done, and I didn't feel like redrawing it.

*had to repeat can be anything from his parents forcing him to, to just doing so badly he was given the option

like I typically have him fail his 5th because that's more time to catch up and more time with Percy and because suddenly being in the same class as Oliver when before they were not, is alot of fun but I'm curious if there's a consensus

they’re definitely going to bring up the huntlow ship by the end of the show because hunter is SIMPING hard but i really want them to do something interesting with it. i don’t want them to just get together with no drama aimed at each other. so what i propose is: a deconstruction of the last-minute love confession trope.

hunter spends the second or even third episode blushing after willow. but willow doesn’t flirt or blush at him, just encourages and hangs out with him like she would her other friends. and at the end of the second or the middle of the third episode, the gang is gearing up for a huge battle with belos, the collector, or any other villains they’ll have to confront. everyone knows it’s dangerous, so there’s a lot of sweet moments between friends and family where they make peace with some of their conflicts and reinforce how much they care about each other. lumity and raeda both get an “i love you” or a kiss.

hunter pulls willow aside and confesses his feelings. he says he has a crush on her and asks if after they defeat the villains, they could go on a date. maybe he gets out a plant glyph and makes a bouquet. it’s very cute and reminiscent of a lot of love confessions in movies and tv that characters do right before a battle.

but willow FREEZES. she’s only thought of hunter as a friend up to this point, and hunter dropping this bombshell during the most stressful day of her life really isn’t helping her decide how to answer him. she has to recontextualize all of their interactions up to this point. and whether she eventually decides to date him, she can’t make up her mind at that moment, because she’s never even considered dating hunter before.

because the “last minute love confession” trope only works out well if the two characters have been pining and basically knows the other’s feelings. it’s a good way to clear up the air in that situation before a dangerous fight where they might not get a chance after. but if only one side has/is aware of their romantic feelings, the last minute love confession becomes solely a way for the person confessing to get it off their chest. it doesn’t matter if the person being confessed to wants to know about these feelings or reciprocates, the confession is sprung on them without prior warning, and now they have to think about that on top of the dangerous battle.

so before willow can give hunter an answer about that date, everyone has to get in position for the fight. and during the fight, willow is DISTRACTED. she knows she needs to focus on the fight, but she can’t help but think about hunter’s confession from a few minutes before, regardless of whether she reciprocates. and at one point, willow gets a clear shot to take out the villain or rescue one of their friends or whatever the goal of the battle is, but she MISSES.

if hunter had confessed a few hours or days earlier, giving willow time to come to terms with it before the battle, or if he had waited until after the battle to confess, it would have been fine. but he tells her at the WORST possible time, so willow has something else on her mind during one of the most important battle of her life. and because of that, everything goes very, very wrong.

ok I genuinely think @is-the-owl-video-cute has gone off the deep end. what makes you act like that on the internet for real. I don’t even have a real stock in this bullshit drama but they are just the most reactionary asshole to people? how can y’all look up to them they are genuinely so immature and pissy. they’ve been throwing a fit over users they personally dislike and using absolutely no proof at all to say they doxxed ppl. there’s like zero proof other than they don’t like them LMAO. can y’all log the fuck off please?? before someone actually gets hurt??

Books of 2023. THAT WE MAY LIVE and NO EDGES from Two Lines Press.

NO EDGES came in my Migrations subscription box earlier this year, and I finally got around to reading it this week! It's a collection of Swahili fiction translated to English. I love little multi-author anthologies because it's the perfect amount of taste testing without committing. My favorites were A Neighbor's Pot by Lusajo Mwaikenda Israel and the excerpt from Nakuruto by Clara Momanyi.

Up next is THAT WE MAY LIVE, which is speculative Chinese fiction in translation! The whole series of books looks really cool, so I'll probably be adding all of these to my library piecemeal.

Just finished the show a few days ago, so that's why I'm only just posting this now.

Mmmm I had the most delicious October day. I was out with my pup in the woods when we came across a barred owl hunting a chipmunk between a few trees. The chipmunk talkin up a storm and dancing around, owl swooping and jumping after him, while keeping an eye on my whereabouts as well. Which of course was entertaining enough on its own, but then the biggest freakin raven I’ve ever seen in my life swoops down onto the same tree! Followed by a flock of very noisy steller’s seemingly out of nowhere! All of this on the backdrop of autumn leaves and slivers of golden sunlight weaving through the trees made for quite a dramatic scene. Owl seemed rather disturbed by the chaos so I do believe dear Chippy lived to see another day. I really feel like the luckiest girl in the world to get to witness things like this :)

Something something Hunter and Willow both trying to outrun past identities that were assigned to them against their will something something in attempting to subvert it they become a shadow imitation of that identity, harkening back to it via it's absence, never truly able to escape it if they continue to define themselves in opposition to it. This also kinda happens to Luz btw

For fun I’ve been drafting a TOH rewrite that’s currently just titled “if Disney kept their hands to themselves” and it’s been really fun so far but I just decided to axe Hexside as a whole (since it was apparently something Disney added for marketability) and boy howdy does this force me to change like… everything in Season 1. 😂

Besides losing the obvious/easy way for Luz to meet Willow, Gus and Amity, I also have to rework all the character relationships to work without the school being involved (Amity’s parents can’t threaten to keep Willow out of school, Raine and Eda couldn't have met at HECK, etc) PLUS there’s the whole issue of “how do kids learn magic and how does the coven system work now?”

❝ somehow i have a feeling i am not going to like what you’re about to say. ❞ koto & kuroo

clash of kings // accepting

❝ no no no, it'll be fine, trust me. ❞

a menacing cackle fluttered out of the captain's lips, a sure sign that he was planning something terrible. he hurriedly waved her concerns away with a hand before wiggling his fingers together, much like a cat playing with a caught mouse. truthfully, koto had every right to be worried given what his plan was.

❝ okay, so, i need your help with something. all i need you to do is lure bokuto and daichi out, and i'll take care of the rest. it's real simple, and you won't even have to get your hands dirty ! ❞
