Deep Calleth unto Deep

Psalm 42: 7-8. Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of Thy waterspouts: all Thy waves and Thy billows are gone over me. Yet the LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. When I was 10 years old, we moved from Minneapolis, where the Mississippi River held sway, to Portland, OR. For the first time, that…

#mayhem art #star wars #anakin skywalker #obi wan kenobi #anakin skywalker fanart #obi wan kenobi fanart #star wars art #this one was sitting in my drafts for about a month. idk why I was holding onto it -cries- anyway #this is shortly after Qui-Gon's death. Both of their lives just got flipped upside down. Anakin is traumatized by having to leave #his mother behind‚ then his Master's sudden death‚ and he's left with no certainty in his future. #Obi-Wan just witnessed his Master die‚ helplessly‚ then having to take care of this little human in his Master's stead‚ meanwhile feeling #wholly inadequate to be so suddenly knighted let alone immediately becoming a Master and taking responsibility for another being. #Both of them losing the constants in their lives. left uprooted. the only anchoring point being each other. #I imagine Obi-Wan wouldn't reach out to Anakin first‚ but if Anakin expressed compassion with him‚ grief‚ and his need to feel secure‚ #Obi-Wan wouldn't turn him away #this was just my excuse to give them a proper soothing hug in their time of mourning

anchor

#genshin impact #haikaveh #kavehtham #kaveh #al haitham #youre my anchor!!! hhhhgguuuuuaaaa what a concept #i project the depression onto kaveh for entertainment purposes (the betterment of my wellbeing) #sometimes you feel like floating and it doesnt stop. youre helpless and get lost in thought. its important for someone to hold you down #thinks about all the balloons that just get let go and fly into the sky #some.. achilles come down isms too. love that song #art

lrb sometimes i also think about the fact of like. sanji having to scream for chopper because zoro's literally collapsed on top of his broken leg and barely breathing. he's stuck and can't move or fight and he's trapped and can't help zoro and can you imagine, him thinking zoro dying is his fault. not just because he believes he wasn't strong enough to beat kuma, but because he can't get up and to chopper and he's wasting time. chopper and luffy find him hunched over zoro's body in a full blown panic attack where he barely recognizes anyone. he doesn't know who will help zoro or who will take him away from him. and eventually he lets go because he realizes who's in front of him—his family—and that self hatred just grows a bit more for not recognizing his crew and for costing zoro precious time. sanji who would've fought and killed with his bare hands if it meant even a small chance of keeping zoro safe. if he cannot sacrifice himself, he can at the very least use himself to save zoro's life.

#thinking about chopper taking zoro away and sanji still panicking so luffy holds him. holds his hands to keep from his hair and anchors him #black leg sanji #roronoa zoro #zosan #op #<- romantic or not like. hogufhjfbfna sanji hours #i am writing this... it's part of a much larger piece but my god dude. blows up

YES HIGH-SEA ADVENTURES!!! I love the idea of them coming across a kraken or something of that nature

Sally's at the front of the line like "FOR GLORY" meanwhile others are freaking out or trying to keep the ship(and themselves, but mostly Eddie) stable

Also the bit with Eddie and Frank😭<3 so good

Sally, Julie, Frank: throwing themselves at the kraken

Eddie: attempting to back them up, failing <3

Wally: getting snatched by said kraken

Barnaby: holding onto Wally's ankle with one paw & holding onto the ship w/ the other

Poppy: dragging Howdy's deliriously sick self into a corner for "safety" & screaming

#and the ship's actual crew are the ones getting shit done <3 #listen when there are three available fighters #& one things they can bring down a kraken with his bare hands #another is just wildly hacking at it & is mostly just damaging the ship #and only the third is actually doing anything but her magic is fire-based so thats horrifying on a ship #yeah. yeah #& then eddie of course also gets snatched bc he's an easy target #so now barn is holding onto both wally and eddie while biting the guardrail as an anchor #trying to yell for help lmao #wally's staff is downstairs so he cant cast & the situation isnt dire enough for him to tap into home's real power #home is patiently watching and waiting and eating popcorn #eddie's screams of fear are very entertaining <3 #wh fantasy au #rambles from the bog #of course i imagine that wally Does have to play the 'home' card #its a small-ish ship! a brig! not a lot of crew needed to operate that babe! #and since barnaby has his hands full / howdy is borderline unconscious #eddie is (affectionately said) useless / wally doesnt have his staff / etc #home is needed! #in my mind wally's boot comes loose and he goes weeeee right into the water in the kraken's grasp #and a minute later a 'second' - black - kraken (home) completely bodies the real kraken #and wally climbs over the side perfectly fine but very soaked #barnaby: ARE YOU OKAY??? WHAT HAPPENED #wally: home took care of it @:] #sally: what does that mean #wally: they took care of it @:] #everyone: *terrified yet impressed silence* #and then wally passes out bc letting home out like that takes an almost lethal amount of energy & effort <3

hhello mr volivolition. volta is such a based name actually. might yoink that

!! HELLO!! :] oh shit hell YES, we can be volta together!! its mostly because i love Volta Do Mar as a kim skill (and because im volta do mar for the skillsposters lmao), i love them... they're a method for grounding, for bringing you back home, for remembering who you are so you don't lose yourself in the pale...

since she's not a canon skill, i had to just like. make up an entire design for them and because character design is NOT my forte, they look WEIRD and not like skills normally do but!! i like him nonetheless <3 puts her in kim's clothes because i can. gives them wings because i can. assigns them she/they/he pronouns BECAUSE I CAN. we get no info so i make the rules now lmao <3

as a choir/poetry/neurodivergent guy, i adore volta do mar, my darling grounding technique who wants you to come home <3

#volta transmissions #voliart #silly doodle because my finger is still hurt and the bandaid makes holding the pen weird #who will be the kinetic dressage to my volta do mar /j /j /j #wings of a guardian angel. anchor to keep you steady. i always associate volta with both sailors and pilots. you are the sky and sea to me. #ANYWAY YEAS VOLTA MOMENCE <3

I wasn’t using that heart anyway it’s fine (Patreon)

#Doodles #SCII #Helix #ZEX #Catch me crying in the Institute I'm Fine I Feel Fine #So far in reading I have cried twice - once for sads and once for happies #This one being the sads of course haha #The happies...doesn't really make sense in Or out of context but mmh maybe I'll get to it at some point lol #For now the devastation! Weh!! #I actually prefer the original phrasing better - ''If I become lost you will find me'' like gods hang on hold on gimme me a moment ❤️💕💖 #I just forgot to look at it properly before writing it down lol #I transcribed it correctly in my notes! Heck #I would've been moved by this regardless but with Defeated hanging out in the back of my head for what's to come #He /does/ become lost! And it's from losing the Captain! His anchor his bright spot in this and any other galaxy 💔 #All he has left is Dexter! Who won't ''indulge'' him or try to understand him and never /can/ in the way the Captain does #The foreshadowing!! The pain!! Ah ♥ #Not to mention Zelnick's hesitance but still willingness to help I jfdkslafdf #Extremely good <3 <3

love an ending that is 'happy' in that a desirable outcome is produced, but made complicated by the fact that the protagonist has given up something integral to themself in order to make it so. it's sort of uncool in some circles to admit you LIKE when characters give up something really cool for something pretty basic, but it's all about context and quality of storytelling, right? that sort of conviction - this is a part of my personality that i am permanently renouncing access to, and it's my choice, and i'm going to miss it, but i'm not going to regret it - that's compelling. ending in which a character who loves nothing more than the rush of finding the answer to a question is handed, one day, a puzzle they just don't want to solve. and that part of their life is over, but it's not a bad thing. maybe the answer doesn't need to be known. maybe not knowing it opens you up to a creative mindset you never had before. character who gains some kind of special power chooses to give it up not because they no longer love the ability, not because it hasn't improved their life, but because this thing they love comes with costs, is getting in the way of a life someone they love or loved and lost would want them to live. i'm glad it turned out this way. i miss the missing thing with all my heart. i would let go of it again if i was asked to choose.

#stories where people give up something beautiful to live ordinary lives because there's something in the ordinary life they want more #a very common variant of this is of course the 'immortal character renounces their lifespan for a mortal lover' plot #which is fine and all #but i like more nuanced versions . like my tobias animorphs epilogue idea where he and his mother reconnect more permanently #and one day when he's at her house they have a long. long talk. about what he is going to do now. it's been years but he's still #in this holding pattern of grief and solitude. but his mother is his one anchor to the world of humanity. and she's not getting any younger #and hawk lifespans aren't getting any longer. and they spent so much time away from each other #and he says. i miss her like an amputation mom. how do you keep going? #and she says. not missing your father because i didn't know that i loved him and he was gone was worse #and she asks hm if he's sure he could be human again. if he could give up his hard-earned flexibility of form #and he says we've been sitting here talking for three hours. little late to second-guess it now #this got away from me . but you see my vision #writing tag #animorphs i guess also lol #q

you guys ever listen to vse kar vem

#joker out #it's SO GOOD. the lyrics are SO GOOD. #also they make me very sad #the contrast between the needs of the speaker and the needs of the partner #the hand-in-hand solace and hopelessness of the chorus #the way that even 'i've heard that' in first line sets the situation up as being an uphill battle #actually to elaborate on the first point. the contrast between #the framing of the speaker as not only something now unnecessary to the partner (OUCH) but as something that could actively cause them pain #in the future #vs the framing of the partner as the speaker's sole solace (ha) and comfort that they are soon going to lose #but it's a necessary loss because otherwise they would just be dragging the partner down into hell and presumably the speaker cares greatly #for the partner. but it's still a loss of someone who acts an an anchor for the speaker #the way what's good for the speaker can't live alongside what's good for the partner because they're the antithesis of each other #the feeling of desperately trying to hold on to the last tatters of solace. I'm using that word a lot. before it gets torn away and you're #left with nothing #the hopeless repeating of the chorus in contrast to the verses #'i've heard this and this and this and i know this and this but all that i know is you are my anchor and comfort and when I'm with you #i'm safe' #hell even the way 'i know' vs 'I've heard' is used throughout the song #“i've heard everything comes to an end and I've heard you don't need me anymore. but all i know is that i need you” #“but i also know you've been through hell before and you don't want to return. and staying with me will put you there” #“but i know still that your presence keeps me from being there” #i am going to EAT DRYWALL #i'm making interpretations now so it's probably time to wrap this tag-fest up #i'm sure it was very redundant. i may end up getting emotional and adding to it another time but in summary #kris guštin i'm going after you with a hunting knife #and maybe bojan cvjetićanin too?? idk if he's credited as co-writing the music or the chorus #only tagging kris though because he's the one i'm sure wrote at least a portion of both #og #kris guštin

gif credit to hell-vetica but do you ever think about this scene

and how different it is from the season two super spy scene where mike was smiling and actually hopeful and really and truly believed that they wouldn't let the mind flayer spy back, but he's older now and they both know how that went down and they saw what happened to max and hawkins and how mike is likely thinking about that and what could happen to will, but he can't let it show because he has to be strong for will he has to be the brave paladin he WON'T lose will again not after everything, and how this is coming after mike said they would be a team and that will didn't deserve anything [bad] and how mike saw that eleven didn't need him anymore but he sees now that will does and like. do you ever think about how much higher the stakes are going to be now and how much pressure and fear they must be feeling because they both know it's no longer about not letting vecna spy back or closing the gates but about killing him once and for all and we know just how much mike fears losing the people he loves and how losing will practically unmade him and. and. and—

#byler #being made insane by the 'don't go where i can't follow' path they're headed down #being made insane by mike reaching into the light to hold onto will to keep him anchored to SHOW him he's not leaving #that he hasn't lost him that he's still there and he's always going to be there #that being his friend is the best thing he's ever done and it will always be #that he's always going to choose to protect will not because he has to or he feels obligated to or he's pressured to #but because he loves him and can't lose him and won't lose him and he'll be there with him every step of the way fighting TOGETHER #i just. i need to lie down for a minute i need to . cry my eyes out actually #mine

Been waiting for people to catch up to finishing future redeemed so that I could say that between the old man yaoi and shalvis divorce jokes you just know rex shulk and A were having a lot of transgender gay sex in origin. sorry. happy pride.

#I must speak the truth it is to be known #rex 'I love you and all you guys' is like 'yeah ive got two hands an anchor and also two feet ig' #we thought shalvis was getting divorced but rlly they were renewing their vows and also old man yaoi quota #I say this but I know I'll only ever write them tenderly holding hands lakjskjaflafj. but just know. what's in my heart #rex is the center from which the xenoblade polycule spreads its roots and takes hold.him and nia too bc melinia akjsflkjalfaj #xenoblade #xenoblade chronicles #take it idk

My hiking buddy was very proud of this shot of me still drinking my cider while we were hiding against a cliff from the mid-hike ice storm

#no shelter no worries #i couldnt move bc several parts of my body were acting as key anchor points holding the thermal blanket down against the wind so like #might as well sip away right?

started playing e-liter for fun and i am HOOKED...

#splatoon 3 #lizz.mp4 #RAAHHH IM SO HOOKED ON THIS WEAPON!!!! #i played it as a joke bc i was like 'well im waiting for smthn so i mine as well play a weapon good on bluefin depot' #and i wasnt getting the same kick out of squiffer and z+f scope but also i was playing waaay too aggressively lol #after my dinner i saw that the roto was mincemeat and brinewater (great e-liter maps!) #and i was like. hold on a moment. im gonna cook. and get better at staying in “anchor” positions instead of going into enemy base #big shoutout to the guy named Sausagekun who was my rival e-liter who played turf with me for 90 minutes LOL #there is no greater joy than being an e-liter facing another team with an e-liter... #i have a lot of maps i gotta test e-liters matchups on but i think i really hit a groove this play session! #silly snipes!

hes lincoln li wilson............. hes just twelve years old.......... two years ago he was just twelve plus two........ thirteen.............................

#talking tag #dndads #imagine your three friends are the only things you have left and you're so terrified of what would happen if they left #both in the sense of not having anything left anymore. and in the sense of not knowing how to confront those feelings #that destroying the anchor becomes a 50/50 shot between fear and love. and you manage to hold on to love #because nothing has driven you more than devotion and loyalty thus far. if you don't flail desperately to hold onto that then who ARE you #you don't even know what you're feeling anymore. how are you supposed to grapple with your identity if everything is stripped away from it #this is hard enough for a teenager who ISNT trying to save the world. who just wants to get everything over with #[with the least number of casualties possible both out of a sense of justice AND because your dad fucked you up] #AND THEN YOU GET A FIREBALL TO THE FACE NEXT EPISODE!!!!!!!!UAUGHGHHGH #i could write an essay about how well linc as a character embodies how anxiety functions in the face of trauma #I COULD WRITE SO MANY ESSAYS. SORRY FOR BEING A FORMER HOMESCHOOLED STUDENT WITH CPTSD BUT LINCOLN THATS MY GUY
