Isn't it fun how everyone saw what terrified them most, but Nya's was so "unbelievable" that she broke out instantly? She was shown the one thing that was supposed to terrify her, make her spiral. But of course it wasn't real. It's Jay. If there's one thing she never once doubted, its that Jay is absolutely smitten, so of course he'd never forget her. What a silly thing to think, to be afraid of. She went through so damn much for this boy, and him for her, and we know how she is. Wouldn't it be petrifying if all that work, all that emotional turmoil, that clawing for love, could be forgotten just like that? Its quite a feat, really, that she can finally be confident in knowing such a fear is irrational.
It was easy to break free from such a place. It was only ever meant to scare her, and she has nothing to be afraid of. Right?

doctor who ✿ series 1(4)
↳ 15 & ruby in the '60s !
[ID: Three gifs from the Doctor Who Series 14 trailer, showing Fifteen and Ruby in the 1960s. The gifs have been edited to look like vintage film clips. Fifteen is dressed in a striped blue suit and Ruby is in a black and white mini dress with white go go boots. The first shows them walking down the street, the second is black and white and shows them strutting through the tardis, and the third shows them looking at each other excitedly. /end ID.]

The Holidate (Spet me k tebi vleče) - Chapter 16
When he sleeps though, his features relax completely. Bojan finds no word more fitting to describe him other than angelic.
Kris’ beard is growing back in, forming a blond stubble on his chin and Bojan traces his fingers over his cheek, light touches, careful not to wake him and his fingers come to rest on Kris’ lips. He feels the other’s shallow breath against his fingertips and Bojan wants to lean in so badly, seal his mouth to Kris’ and breathe him in, kiss him until he feels the other slowly wake under his lips.
Read chapter 16 here!

Sunday Moon
Hello there once more dear fellows and Luna lovers, a wild Sunday moon appeared.
Don't edit this drawing and don't post it anywhere.
I told you that when I have some more posts to come back I would, but this isn't the return of Luna.
The artist is @/wa.bbitx on Instagram.

.
Do you remember in November when I said I was excited with a commission in particular because I was lucky to take a slot of this artist? Well, I finally received it this week XD
And since this was something I was supposed to post while doing the weekly Luna post (and since I really love it), I bring back the Sunday Moon just for it.

On Greta Danesti...
I'm just taking this time to correct a certain anti-Black, (and anti-Romani) sadly typical fandom troll's misogynoir fuckery in the tag and establishing who Greta Danesti is in canon Castlevania animation lore.
This is Greta Danesti's official character sheet:
She's the village headwoman of Danesti a few miles away from Alucard's castle.
This is what her voice actress, Marsha Thompson looks like:
It's pretty obvious her character design took cues from the actress, who is Afro-British.
In show canon, however, her family escaped from the Roman city of Carthage, which today, is located in the African country Tunisia.
Alucard correctly speculated where her people are from while conversing with her, here (s4 e5):
Greta then confirms that her people did escape the Romans, but she now fully embraces her "family" in her village who are "from all over" and the responsibility of taking care of them.
This same troll used the g-slur to insist that she is Romani.
She is not.
This troll used an early character design here, to make her case.:
And though it does have similarities to Romani clothing... It also looks like it takes cues from Tunisian clothing and likely local and non-local European clothing of the era with "fantasy" elements sprinkled in, as well, which would match the fact of her village's people coming from all over:
There definitely should be more Romani rep in media as it is so often whitewashed, but Greta is not Romani.
FYI, these women actors actually *are* of Romani descent:
Fairuza Balk of The Craft, Oona Chaplin who played Robb Stark's wife in GOT (she's also Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter[!]), and Noomi Rapace from the Swedish movie, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo says her father may have been of Romani descent, as well.
And because I can predict it, as people like to find ways of discounting blackness in every way...
Yes, there are plenty of non-Black indigenous POC in North Africa, including within Tunisia.
Another fun fact... Africa has more indigenous human genetic variation among its peoples than every other people on the planet has with everyone else on the planet[!].
All this to say non-white POC AND Black people are indigenous to Tunisia.
I feel I have to say that because there is a lot of anti-Black anthropological fetishization of North Africa. Egypt is a major example of that (see: Rami Malek, an indigenous Coptic Egyptian who self-identifies as African man of color and has likely had to clarify that *often* because people keep wanting to mislabel him as an Arab, but I digress...)
And sadly, there is a decidedly anti-black movement to totally disconnect certain North African countries' identities from a continental African one, and to largely see it as mainly a part of the MENA world (it is both kiddies, BOTH).
Here is an informative article (linked in the image) about that struggle:
So, this got heavy...but between the post insisting that Greta is NOT Black and the one saying she's not bisexual because that same troll is purposefully and maliciously being obtuse about how words go together...
I figured clearing some things up and educating folks might be helpful.
BTW, the fact of those issues in the article makes her blackness all the more resonant as rep in pop culture.
And hey, poly folks have disagreements, just like the het folks do...
-Still bi.
I'm gonna end here with two images from the linked article of anti-racist Tunisian protesters (MENA and Black):
P.S. I also side-eye those keen to make her muscular... I mean yeah she wields a big-ass hammer and shortsword/dagger, but the tendency to masculinize black woman characters deserves a hardy eye-squint.
Especially, given that the show has *no problem* making muscular women look like that and they DIDN'T for Miss Greta.
See: Zamfir and the Berserk-style sword-carrying Vampire warrior, Striga. Both of whom had that flex going on.

thank you for the tags @paperstorm @carlos-in-glasses @lemonlyman-dotcom @bonheur-cafe <33
today we have another sneak peek from the first chapter of the ceo!carlos au (aka office tarlos) which i am planning on posting tomorrow! 👀
“I made you lunch,” Carlos says as he wanders back in, holding two Tupperware containers with his name written on in black marker. “Don’t worry, they’ve been refrigerated.”
TK looks up at him and blinks once. He wasn’t planning on taking a lunch break today. The rest of the office has just gone, and he just assumed Carlos was emerging from the office to use the bathroom or grab some water. Too engrossed in typing out the notes from the meeting, he didn’t ask, but now he’s here sliding a container across the desk.
“You—”
“Made you lunch,” Carlos finishes. “You need more than potato chips, TK.”
open tag! &

more you're where I wanna go (prev snippets here) Buck and Lucy are now real married and greeting "their" guests (also I'm still worried about some of their interactions so maybe tell me if you like it?) 😘
Relief washes over Buck when Bobby, Athena, and Ravi come into view, temporarily clearing away the tension in his shoulders. He and Lucy have one more couple to talk to first. The faces have all blurred together by now. Buck couldn’t begin to say who the silver haired woman and balding man standing in front of them are.
“Tell me, where are you planning to honeymoon this time of year?” The woman asks.
It’s a fair question, being November and all, even if Buck and Lucy have both refused to call it that. They look at the trip as more of an opportunity to travel, and have made that known to anyone in on their secret. Ravi has pushed his luck a bit by taunting Lucy, but otherwise respected their choice.
Buck risks a glance at Lucy. “I’ve done my fair share of traveling and Lucy here has a number of destinations on her list. I told her she could choose.”
“Oh, is that right?” The man inquires, looking down at his wife. “How very… modern.”
“Yes,” Lucy answers with a mischievous smirk. “It is, isn’t it? Evan is just full of interesting ideas. Aren’t you, darling?”
She reaches around to pinch his side and it takes everything in him not to squirm or yelp.
“Only the best for you, dearest,” he teases back.
The man and woman exchange a glance between them before she motions to move them along. Behind them, Ravi shakes and his cheeks turn bright red while he does his best not to burst out laughing.
“Yes, well, lovely to see you again, Evan. Congratulations.”
The couple hurry to get away. As soon as they’re out of sight Buck and Lucy immediately drop their hands from each other.
“Are you going to be alright?” Lucy playfully shoves at Ravi. “I thought you were going to pass out for a moment.”
“Shut up,” he says, pulling her into a hug. “I am happy for you.”
“Good thing because I can still take you in cards.”
Ravi creates some space between them, but keeps his hands on her arms. His teasing expression turns somber. “Just remember what I said, okay?”
Buck has to turn away, feeling like the conversation between the two friends is too intimate to witness. It doesn’t stop him from wondering what Ravi means even though it’s none of his business. Buck has plenty of his own secrets, he figures Lucy is more than entitled to hers.
