I regret to inform you that you are the #3 loser of the angst lottery.
Something something secrecy
Your angst for today is-
One of Childe’s motivations is protecting his family. He wants to protect childhood dreams since his were taken from him. He would drop everything to protect his family.
But his babying of Teucer led to his own inevitable downfall.
Teucer always admired his big brother and thought he was the strongest. He wanted to be cool like his brother and protect his family too.
So he followed Childe one day secretly. This was during the war with Celestia and the Abyss that I totally didn't just make up.
The traveler and their allies are holding their own pretty well, but one of the creatures notices Teucer standing my himself and attacks him. He screams.
Childe panics and activates his foul legacy to save him, but it's too late. He lands to see Teucer bleeding out on the snow. He promises that he'll save him and Teucer responds with I know, big brother. I trust you.”
Childe loses control and destroys everything around him. When he comes back to himself, he finds Teucer dying in his arms.
It utterly destroys him and allows the abyss inside him to take control.
Begin herrscher Childe arc.
:)
oh anon i've long since accepted that Teucer is probably going to die for Childe angst so you can't hurt me HAHAHAHA
and i'm going to pull a reverse uno and want you to consider this:
it's probably going to happen by his own hands and then he offs himself :D
if you're interested, here's the outline of the essay i was supposed to write about this theory that has been sitting on my docs since Oct last year LOL

Have you ever considered this is a really stupid layout to have when there’s no way to easily get your account back if you accidentally hit the wrong button???

So Venus is my favorite planet in the solar system - everything about it is just so weird.
It has this extraordinarily dense atmosphere that by all accounts shouldn't exist - Venus is close enough to the sun (and therefore hot enough) that the atmosphere should have literally evaporated away, just like Mercury's. We think Earth manages to keep its atmosphere by virtue of our magnetic field, but Venus doesn't even have that going for it. While Venus is probably volcanically active, it definitely doesn't have an internal magnetic dynamo, so whatever form of volcanism it has going on is very different from ours. And, it spins backwards! For some reason!!
But, for as many mysteries as Venus has, the United States really hasn't spent much time investigating it. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, sent no less than 16 probes to Venus between 1961 and 1984 as part of the Venera program - most of them looked like this!
The Soviet Union had a very different approach to space than the United States. NASA missions are typically extremely risk averse, and the spacecraft we launch are generally very expensive one-offs that have only one chance to succeed or fail.
It's lead to some really amazing science, but to put it into perspective, the Mars Opportunity rover only had to survive on Mars for 90 days for the mission to be declared a complete success. That thing lasted 15 years. I love the Opportunity rover as much as any self-respecting NASA engineer, but how much extra time and money did we spend that we didn't technically "need" to for it to last 60x longer than required?
Anyway, all to say, the Soviet Union took a more incremental approach, where failures were far less devastating. The Venera 9 through 14 probes were designed to land on the surface of Venus, and survive long enough to take a picture with two cameras - not an easy task, but a fairly straightforward goal compared to NASA standards. They had…mixed results.
Venera 9 managed to take a picture with one camera, but the other one's lens cap didn't deploy.
Venera 10 also managed to take a picture with one camera, but again the other lens cap didn't deploy.
Venera 11 took no pictures - neither lens cap deployed this time.
Venera 12 also took no pictures - because again, neither lens cap deployed.
Lotta problems with lens caps.
For Venera 13 and 14, in addition to the cameras they sent a device to sample the Venusian "soil". Upon landing, the arm was supposed to swing down and analyze the surface it touched - it was a simple mechanism that couldn't be re-deployed or adjusted after the first go.
This time, both lens caps FINALLY ejected perfectly, and we were treated to these marvelous, eerie pictures of the Venus landscape:
However, when the Venera 14 soil sampler arm deployed, instead of sampling the Venus surface, it managed to swing down and land perfectly on….an ejected lens cap.

When I was like 15 I dated this guy named Wes and we would roleplay Soriel so then when we broke up it made me have a vendetta against the ship for a few years. You made me like them again though so thanks. Also I'm a lesbian now.

What a weird eel dog! Wanted to draw emmet's starter. Inspired by the kind folks in my inbox, which I’ll be responding to down here
(more submas content? Check my masterpost!)
@holly-rose12 Ngl I'm gonna slow down on posting so I don't burn myself out, but yeah this hyperfixation's got a good grip on my soul. I STILL have so many ideas for the other members of the submas team, and I STILL really want to draw more Elesa too. Ah, the tunnels keep getting deeper...
@fortunatelykawaiitiger hehe me? committing crimes? noo. i would never.
@faestorian (drags you into the tunnels with me) I refuse to be the only one having brain rot
@nomorekneecapprivileges AAH THANK YOU! also JDSKLJFDSLK YOUR NAME- ((will draw sneasler at some point! The comics weren't meant to be linear but as you can tell, i'm awkwardly moving from tiny eel dog and angry candle shenanigans to teenage eel dog and sassy lamp shenanigans.))
@opossumonashelf YES HELLO I SEE YOU POP UP IN MY FEED ALL THE TIME THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE LOVE- but also yes!! eelektross my beloved.
@primordial-being EELEKTROSS IS SO SHAPE. No thoughts behind those eyes (just like me fr)

also, Lilia in particular has maybe the best timeskip character development of all time

orcylightning is a scammer. The real cat, Biscuit, has already been to a vet and the photograph doesn’t show a rash of any kind. Please look up pet donation scam in tumblr search, it should show posts that explain past scams and other blogs that used the same story. Please edit the reblog to say scam or delete it; I’d also suggest reporting the blog and finding a way to report the fraudulent PayPal account that’s impersonating the owner who doesn’t use tumblr.
Probably the wrong way to respond to this, but it has been bouncing around in my head for a bit.
I'm going to assume it was sent with the best intentions, but, this should have ended after the word "vet". It conveyed every bit of information that needed conveying. I know this is just the weird way my brain is wired, but the longer it went on, the less I wanted to do it.
It may not mean much, but I am sorry if this is legit just my neurodivergence nitpicking at yours.

nbc hannibal is a romcom purely because the central conflict results from hannibal not understanding his feelings for will and being a total loser about it because he’s never had a friend or been in love before which makes him act so silly and do the most insane things that will interprets being framed for murder as hannibal having something against him (as anyone would), and this series of misunderstandings is not resolved until hannibal’s ex girlfriend and former psychiatrist tells will that hannibal is so in love with him it makes him look stupid. after that will does not hesitate to break hannibal out of jail and douse himself in blood which is this show’s equivalent to the protagonist running to the airport to stop their love interest from leaving the country and marrying someone else before they’ve had the chance to confess that they’ve loved them ever since they’ve known them
