Okay LOOK how calm and peaceful he looks. Sitting alone there, in his own world. But also how sad he looks. The artist has done a really good job with the contrasting colours. His world is literally cold and blue right now and he just wants things to change. But he knows things don’t change in Gotham. It never does.
And then there’s the fact that his bike is there-
This boy drove- HE DROVE to sit on a bench and feed these birds. And no he didn't just hand them a leftover bite of his sandwich as he sat on a bench. No no no, he BOUGHT the breadcrumbs! Look at the little paper bag!! He bought breadcrumbs and drove his bike to sit alone on his bench and feed the pigeons.
This is what he does to calm down and unwind and empty his head from the bat-filled chaos he experienced. It's canon to me so yeah l'lI never shut up about this. My heart can't handle this information. I need to give this boy a hug
I am fully prepared to excuse any and all actions taken by the ratgrinders because they are a group of teens whose worst traits are being preyed upon and who are treated as expendable puppets by a much older man. And also because this is all one guy sitting at a table making different voices at his friends so it’s not all THAT serious is it.
for something as trivial and simple those feelings sure are hard to get rid of
also made a gif a version for fun + alt version with no tears under the cut
the gif is in very low resolution...this is a feature (i could make it bigger but that would require saving each frame individually and than glueing it all together. also i feel like low resolution suits it better. aesthetically and fits the mood)
It is of my opinion that Eddie would actually have a killer falsetto which Steve discovers when he walks into the trailer kitchen to find eddie singing along to the radio playing you make me feel like dancing while waltzing (surprisingly well) with an upside down mop
So, Hyrule didn't know previous to healing Twilight that his life spell could work on others and not just himself. I am choosing to extrapolate that his other spells work the same way, and he could choose to cast shield or reflect on someone else if he tried to protect them, he just has traveled alone before prior to this and only now has the chance to cast on other people in a not "attacking them with lightning" kind of way
Outfits of the Guard from an older fic of mine, Tangerine and Roc. Supposed to be a bit of a mix of styles from Central Asia in the late 15th century as they go about their travels, with a little battle-ready touch.
