He wonders what age he’s finally reached. The Time War used years as ammunition; at the Battle of Rodan’s Wedding alone, he’d aged to five million and then regressed to a mewling babe, merely from shrapnel. Now, the ache in his bones feels… one thousand years old? Well. Call it nine hundred. Sounds better.
In the same way RTD's 'Doctor Who and the Time War,' where the above quote is from, is a page from a novel that doesn't exist, this is a splash page from a comic that doesn't exist. Time War PTSD, much like the war itself, is multidimensional.
NO THE FACT THAT DOFLAMINGO JUST HAPPENED TO BE IN FRONT OF THE COLISEUM WHILE LUFFY WAS BY THE WINDOW AND DOFLAMINGO JUST HAPPENED TO MAKE SURE LUFFY SAW HIM SHOOT LAW
SO SICK AND MF TWISTED
AND THEN LATER WHEN DOFLAMINGO IS MOCKING LUFFY ABOUT LAW BEING DEAD AND TELLING LUFFY THAT HE FAILED TO SAVE HIM (super quick summarization)
SICK AND TWISTED
fucking doflamingo caught on and is using that against them 😭😭
side note: the absolute relief that is shown on Luffy’s face when he finds out that Law is in fact still alive i just ansjsjdkddjdnfxkjcjfkf
there’s something so personal about the scene in fantasy high s1e7 where gorgug calls himself stupid & fabian, who up to that point had basically entirely been acting like the bad kids (especially gorgug) were beneath him & had also been the one calling ragh stupid two lines ago, instantly says “okay, do not put yourself down like that. don’t you dare do that to yourself.” like it was obvious he liked the bad kids at that point but the instinct to protect his friends manifesting as an immediate strong refusal of gorgug’s self-deprecating talk kills me. that boy loves his friends so bad oh my god i feel sick.
!! crucial !! piece of hilson lore confirmed - they're fucking LOSERS
honestly? so affirming to me. this isn't news i know but to get this explicit piece of interaction about being a lonely child and now being weird adults who don't know how to make friends or have "normal" conversations or connections like this is the shit i eat for breakfast, especially accompanied with the complete and utter sense of surrender to this fact that wilson displays. there's absolutely no reason whatsoever for him to defend himself or act as if what house is saying isn't true bc it is and they both know it and knows the other knows it even if they've never actually talked about this once which is very likely but they know cause they're the same and they only have each other and and and
I’m trying to have a hashtag nuanced and thoughtful take on this, but I think it all boils down to “you can’t #troll the nostalgia fest if you do it twice.”
hey there, just wanted to say that I absolutely adore you're art style, such yummy shape it scratches my brain just right 10/10
also I'm in love with how you portray the start of heavy and medics relationship, like how they bicker and get on each others nerves a tiny bit,
I wanted to ask you what was the turning point from that to them kissing in the moonlight and whatnot
(sorry if this feels out of the blue I'm just really invested in the way you characterize them and I think your art is really cool)
heya! no worries (and thank you for your kind words!) - this ask got me really excited as ive had a few ideas rocking around for a bit...depending on the day of the week i'll give you a different answer as to 'how' but the general gist is collegues who are bad at their jobs -> collegues who are GREAT at their jobs -> out of hours friends -> inseperable -> taking a chance on 'ruining' that friendship -> it all works out.
I tried to answer through a little bit of a comic...this is literally the 0th draft...needs an extra page or two and a few more drawings (and then overall....redrawing) but i need to post as otherwise i won't get any work done. I'll finish it one day! but enjoy! :)
man when you go all the way back to the oldest codywan fics on ao3 there's basically nothing up until 2014. but when the inhibitor chip arc came out? the girlies fucking JUMPED on the "shit he was FORCED to shoot him down?? 😭😭" dynamic sooo fast it's incredible
Since atla is again having an extra surge of popularity, I'm shooting my shot:
[ID: (Rest of image description in alt). At the bottom of the image sits the text: "Zuko: Okay. Well, I can't remember how it starts, but the punchline is "leaf me alone, I'm bushed."" ID end].
Did we ever find out what the setup for this joke was? I feel kinda haunted by it. If not- anyone wanna make their best or worst guesses?
edit: I now know what "I'm bushed" mean, but go ahead anyway 👍
