Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia’s love, that’s how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)

Percy, listening to this on the train

#STOP TRAUMATIZING THIS CHILD PLEASE #this is what it’s like when you were raised in a loving home and you find out your friend wasn’t #but they don’t know they weren’t #so you’re like um hey that’s fucked up and sometimes a crime? #you tell them parents are supposed to love you as is without earning it and they don’t believe you #you can hear the therapy bill racking up #annabeth chase #Percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #pjo series #pjo tv show #mine #adding on to my tags because some people are debating if that’s how love works #love is meant to be a mutual exchange and something that grows over time between two people as their bond grows #whereas how Annabeth says it #in my opinion at least #she had to do XY and Z to be worthy of thalias love before receiving it #like with her mother #she has to be amazing before Athena is proud of her #vs Athena being proud of her just for being her daughter #that being said I’m not hating on a traumatized child having potentially negative and toxic patterns #more pointing out the comedy of the scene from Percy’s perspective who has a good grasp on healthy vs unhealthy relationships

the difference between karkat and kankri when it comes to their shared aspect of blood is that karkat, as a knight, will protect and cultivate the bonds between his friends and will form connections with others easily due to his empathetic nature, even if said others are fucked up people in the eyes of others (see: his whole deal with spades slick, the way he formed moriallegience with rampaging gamzee), people naturally come into his orbit, meanwhile kankri being a seer doesnt want to create a connection between himself and others, but he wants to understand and study how those bonds work between people, basically looking outside in on the relationships and forming a list of do's and dont's when it comes to cultivating that connection

in other words, karkats that one motherfucker at the party whos somehow friends with everyone here, no matter their background, and everyone fucking loves that foul-mouthed guy, meanwhile kankri is standing in the corner like a creep and nobody knows exactly what his deal is but he knows what everyones deal is and somehow has knowledge of all of partygoers dirty laundry, even if theyve never seen him in their fucking life

#homestuck #kankri vantas #karkat vantas #karkats agressive appreciation of his friends vs kankris stalker-ish tendency to dig into everyones business #this doesnt touch upon the fact that kankris metatextually IS a failed seer but thats a post for another day #i love the dichotomy between these two and how much differently they use their aspect when it comes to group bonding #fascinating stuff #do you think kankris jealous about how easily karkat can make friends when his own act only manages to push people away #i think he is very much yes

who's pulling the strings of the puppet king?

#lies of p #lies of p romeo #king of puppets #lies of p geppetto #fanart #digital art #hi hello do you think romeo was fully conscious when geppetto enacted law zero (?through him?). #i think about these two a lot... i don't tend to jump straight to the 'deal with the devil' part because there's something about-- #--two people with nothing in common but the empty space between them. world's worst grief bonding situation!!! #and there's something a lot more compelling about that to me. and that's not even mentioning the grand covenant in the room-- #merits its own post or something else. (because i think about it more than anything ever.) #tl;dr i would kill carlo myself if i got to witness them having the most painfully unpleasant conversation ever had by two people. #anyway i should comment on art process too huh. #the gist of it is if no one got me i know red and black got me. #it's my Old Reliable. i've been nearly gnawing my hands off from. not managing to get anything done in a way i liked so i went back. #i feel better now.... :-) #anyway. worst in-laws ever <3

There's something about Tim that has always slightly unnerved Bruce.

That's not to say he doesn't truly love him, the little Robin who dragged him kicking and screaming from the edge, who reminds him everyday he has to be better.

Yet something in his eyes always makes him hesitate.

Watching him solve cases connect dots that even Bruce at his most able couldn't hope to understand.

Watching him fight it's calculated every move planned but executed with a grace that would make ballerinas jealous.

He couldn't identify it the greatest detective stumped by his own son until one day when he walked down to the cave.

His eldest sparing with Tim it was beautiful moves that he could never replicate they worked as if they were one. Escrima quickly blocked by a bow staff, every single move perfectly executed.

It felt like for once he could see clearly the thing that had made him so uncomfortable brought forth a fear that was so instinctual.

It was Dick.

The same moves, the quiet grace the deadly motions, even the anger.

A perfect copy a clone couldn't even hope to achieve.

He stays so still almost frozen afraid to catch the predators attention.

As Tim ends it heading to the showers his eyes drift meeting Dick's.

A smile that before he would call kind he can't help but see almost a sadistic undertone like a animal playing with it's food.

He breaks first, hair standing on end as he heads back up into the manor.

He should do something, but he can't whatever monsters that are his sons he decides to turn a blind eye.

To let the tigers play he knows he is beaten that if he were to try anything his blood would stain his eldest's chin.

But a darker deeper part of Bruce recognizes the same look he ignores in the mirror.

The look that both Jason and Damian try so hard to replicate.

He has never consciously favored his children but as he erases contingencies and allows full access to a network he had never shared with anyone before he can't help but feel a tide changing.

Sitting the next morning at the table secrets smiles shared between him and his sons. Jealously crossing theirs brothers eyes he wants to cackle, scream but it's time he returns the loyalty that they have bled.

After all what's some secrets between Kings and crowned princes.

#tim drake #bruce wayne #dick grayson #batfamily #to put it simply both Bruce Dick and Tim are not good people they're angry vindictive they are tigers laying in wait for their prey #Jason and Damian are not a part of the secret circle they never will be. There's a difference between good little boys and princes #Jason and Damian wish they were nearly as horrible as their siblings #Good dad Bruce in this case at least #Who doesn't love some good brotherly bonding between Dick Grayson and Timothy Drake let the boys take over the world and let their dad help #dark batfamily #jason todd #damian wayne #batfam #don't worry Damien and Jason are safe at least for now #bamf tim drake #bamf dick grayson

Anasai of Ryddingwood. Each of her poems was written as an elegy. This was for her father. She left instructions; it can be read, but should not be spoken out loud, except when it was right to do so. She did not explain when it would be right to do so.

#The wheel of time #wot edit #wot on prime #moiraine damodred #lan mandragoran #wot book spoilers #minor spoiler though #the poem in itself tells nothing #the poet was literally one of the clues given by the official account to unlock a promo picture #married to death #mine: wot #mygifs #still it's a very interesting poem in this context and I've been wanting to use it for ages #I remember seeing the quotes from Rosamund Pike about the loss of the OP being like the loss of a child #and it's true that their arc hits a lot of beats from such stories with the people involved being having nothing in common anymore #the bond was a bridge between them #now it's an absence between them #they have different ways of dealing with that loss and those ways happen to break them even further apart #Moiraine wants him to move on without her #Lan wants her to talk to him #they aren't compatible #the arc gets an interesting conclusion in the sense that their conflict doesn't so much resolve as it is stitched #Moiraine does not talk to Lan any more than she does to Siuan #and Lan very much cannot move on from her #but Moiraine accepts that he will stick with her whatever happens #and Lan accepts that Moiraine will not tell him everything #their bond is restored but the fractures remain #they don't change but they accept they won't always be able to understand each other #I do like that the show made a point this was a choice to renew their vows too #this arc was a platonic feast I tell you

Little thing that was brought up in a conversation with my dear friend @hashal-hutcracker in which Hashal saves Justice from trouble by carrying it;; I thought the concept was kinda cute for them.

#lethal company #lethal company nutcracker #lethal company oc #soda art #my guys #i lied to you;; i actually stayed awake to finish this >:) #something something the bond between two people who would literally shed blood for eachother #people;; these two's personalities actually go together so well #even i was impressed #anyways loved drawing your character aaa!!!! #ITS 2 AM I HAVE ABOUT 38°C OF FEVER; HELL YEAH

#spones #'unique bond' lol #spock's like doctor stonn asked me if i ever got over t'pring #mccoy: idk if i'm more surprised that he asked you or that you're telling me #spock: we have a unique bond doctor (who else would i talk about this with?) #and i'm troubled because i've never tried to quantify those feelings #mccoy: well a few years ago you'd never say a word. this is an improvement #spock: what caused this improvement? #mccoy: you said we shared consciousness #spock: you said don't remind me lol #tos nonsense #always love to see people acknowledging a unique bond between spock and mccoy <3 #i'm gonna miss these 1990s comics. i'm slowly running out :( #since i also only read one author and skip the rest since i don't trust them

[foxcort]

sometimes i think about how the acotar books could've been a great way to show that "love doesn't heal trauma" rather than whatever points sjm was trying to make about abusive relationships and sa. instead of tamlin being abusive, she could've written that feylin's individual traumas kept them from reaching out to each other. or that feyre felt suffocated by the perfect, idyllic and alive spring court when she felt the opposite on the inside. or that tamlin felt overwhelmed by the sudden influx of responsibilities as he's trying to rid himself of the nightmares from utm. they try to make it work. they try to replicate some of the dates and dances from book #1 but there's an almost tangible shadow over their relationship now. and maybe one day feyre sees a memorial for andras or a likeness to one of the high fae living in the spring court to one of the high fae she killed utm, and has a panic attack. and this serves as the catalyst that severs feylin's relationship and reveals that yes, their love broke a curse, their love saved prythian but it couldn't (and shouldn't) heal them.

#im not an analysis girlie i'd much rather rb the smart people in this fandom #but i couldn't stop thinking of this despite sarah's tendency to resolve all of her characters' traumas with dick #no need to retcon or character assassinate my bbgs #feyre could've had a whole plot to herself where she lived outside the bounds of a romantic relationship and discovered her abilities #there could've been reconciliation between her and her sisters (perhaps something that could start her healing) #hell you could even put the feysand mating bond in there and show once again that a magical love bond does not heal trauma #give them a fling that rhysand stops because he knows she's trying to force it so she can feel healed #and its bare minimum but rhys actually sacrificing his desires on page and putting feyre's mental health above them gives him likable #qualities and shows that he truly cares about feyre and this could maybe start his redemption arc #this definitely spiraled but i think it would've been cool #anti sjm #anti acomaf

here's something I originally planned to make a comic for, but ended up on my empty ao3 account. it's uhh it's about 12 year old mikey's fear of bathrooms and 14 year old donnie trying to be when it's not in his nature.

i tried to make it as lighthearted and silly as possible, tho maybe at some point im gonna write about how evil donnie was as a kid (he was badd)

these two fight a lot but at the end of the day you are stuck with your brother so you have to love and forgive him and be nice and im totally not projecting my own issues with family on them what are you talking about?

#these two are my favourite to project onto and give issues #mikey is generally mistreated as a kid and always looked down on #he feels really lonely even when his family is around #ad donnie shuts himseld in and puts a huge wall between him ad his brothers because of trauma and unresolved issues #he just doesnt trust people not even his family #and when everyone gives up on him mikey is the one to stay around to bother him and keep him company #eventually as they spend time together their bond becomes the strongest out of the turtles #even tho they started out with the worst sibling's dynamic #mikey's head is bandaged because of a head injury she got on a mission btw #tmntov #tmntov art #👽 my art #tmnt fanfiction #tmnt au #tmnt fan iteration #tmnt omniverse #tmnt fanart #tmnt art #tmnt mikey #tmnt donnie #tmnt iteration #tmnt #my artwork #my art #tmnt 2012 #rottmnt #tmnt 2003 #a03 fanfic #a03 fic #dib fics

reminder as easter approaches to not give rabbits or ducks as gifts

both are animals that require special care (no, not all animals are just different shapes of cats or dogs) and can live up to 10 years if well cared for

they're not toys, they're living creatures that require love, care, special diets, time, and modifications to your home to keep them safe

they are also not creatures that can just be released into the countryside and be expected to survive. They're domestic animals and will not survive. Please don't impulse buy any animal as a gift, but at least have the basic humanity to rehome them or surrender them to a shelter/rescue and not leave them on the side of the road or in a box in a dumpster

Kind of like Christmas time, there's an influx of impulse/gift adoptions around Easter time that are then immediately surrendered or abandoned within a month. Consider finding a local rescue in your area and donating money, supplies, or your time via volunteering to help! Many also run foster programs, or need help with driving the animals in their care to vet appointments and so on.

k PSA over thanks ✌🐇🦆

#txt it #also tbh as someone that was cruelly gifted a rabbit after Oreo died #i did not bond properly with Mallow because I was both so entrenched in grieving Oreo (it was only 1 month after he died) #but i was also driving between states at the time and could only visit her every 2 months #and it both absolutely fucked up her socialization #and tbh!!!! i do not have a strong emotional bond with her!!!!! #it's a super fucked situation that I'm now trapped in for the next 7 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!! #instead of it being MY choice to get a new pet #what KIND of pet I might want next #or when or from where #that decision was taken from me #i would've loved to have adopted a dog or another rabbit from a local shelter #i see them all the time - litters that are found under cars or in dumpsters bc people just. throw them out. #please do not do that and please do not force that kind of thing on someone else or an animal #if you love animals so much then consider volunteering instead!! :))) #k i'm done for real sorry

Okay. I feel like I have to say this because I saw this argument earlier. Zack and Sephiroth WERE friends. They were friends caught up in a strained, stressful situation beyond their control. With this said, there's some understandable tension between them during the game. But Zack is NOT cruel to Sephiroth during CC, nor is he at any point responsible for Sephiroth's trauma or actions. When Zack gets annoyed at Sephiroth during the story, there are VALID reasons for him feeling this way. And, moreover, Sephiroth is not the ONLY victim of CC compared to the OCEAN OF TRAUMA Zack experiences.

For starters, Sephiroth is technically dumping all his responsibilities onto Zack, causing him to bear the emotional burden. Sephiroth is also aloof and not always communicative. Zack was mad at him in Junon because Sephiroth was not returning his calls. Zack being pissed at Sephiroth because of Nibelheim? He just murdered a ton of civilians there's realistically no way you can be nice and gentle with someone after that. Zack not checking in on Sephiroth? Well he actually MIGHT have been. How else does he know what Sephiroth is doing in there? How does Cloud have memories of Sephiroth telling him to go away? Zack likely DID express concern for Sephiroth's wellbeing and WAS rebuffed. Zack even expresses concern at the Nibelheim reactor by trying to physically comfort Sephiroth, only for SEPHIROTH to push him away. Zack was also the one telling Genesis to shut the hell up because he could see that Sephiroth was getting upset. Zack DOES care and DOES emphasize with Sephiroth. The game just isn't dwelling on it.

Sephiroth is not the only person in pain during CC. I think Zack had to deal with the MOST shit since he's the one who had to kill Angeal. He got to watch Genesis seemingly die in front of him. I think Zack has MORE THAN A FEW valid reasons for being occasionally upset and angry at Sephiroth. But even AFTER what Sephiroth did in Nibelheim, Zack still chooses to honor him at the end. Sephiroth is shown in Zack's memories of people he loves during his last stand. AND Zack stands in Sephiroth's place when he fulfills Genesis' wish to share the apples. In Opera Omnia, Zack is very clearly upset with what happened with Sephiroth, and doesn't seem to be able to truly hate him. And Sephiroth killed innocent people and tried to destroy the world. I think if Zack can still pity Sephiroth afterwards, it wasn't just an unempathetic relationship.

Also, and this is something that the game tries to convey but doesn't do a good enough job, Sephiroth and Zack spend pretty much 2 years in each other's company. The DMW cutscenes explore this idea as it shows them training together. What you are seeing are only a handful of moments in what is otherwise a period of them actually befriending each other and forming enough of a bond for Sephiroth to have grown some level of fondness for him. Nomura himself has said that Sephiroth really trusts Zack, and appreciates that Zack treats him like a human being and not a hero. He LIKES that Zack calls him out, likes that Zack challenges him. He is THANKFUL for that.

Crisis Core is a flawed game. But Sephiroth is not the only victim or the only one suffering throughout. Genesis and Angeal suffered. And god, Zack MORE than suffered. And no one was nice to HIM throughout. No one cares about HIS mental health. No one gives HIM special treatment. He has to kill his friends and deal with it. And then he dies. I love Sephiroth, you all know that. But part of loving the character is accepting the very real truth that he is STILL a villain and that he is NOT the center of suffering. His pain does NOT invalidate the pain of others.

Anyway, Zack and Sephiroth were still friends despite all this. They weren't as close as they could have been, but they were. It was a relationship with occasional bitterness, drama, and heartache, but they were still good enough friends for it to count. But we need to take into account that Zack is NOT to blame for anything related to Sephiroth's pain and actions. If anything, he is completely blameless.

#ff7 #ffvii #final fantasy 7 #crisis core #sephcanons #zack fair #*deep breaths* #genesis rhapsodos #angeal hewley #sephiroth #Also people should be allowed to like and even ship Sephzack #Because in two years of knowing someone I'd say there's PLENTY of room there for a bond #Don't tell them that Sephzack isn't valid because it IS #Even with the drama between them #I just can't okay #Please don't make everyone EXCEPT for Sephiroth to be the bad guy in CC #Because everyone else was in just as much pain #Please don't dilute Sephiroth and others into victim vs. everyone else #He isn't a kicked puppy he has flaws too

Fanfic idea - A lost mawrat finds itself on Azeroth, long away from home, and finds a man soaked in the stench of the Maw. Unsure where else to go, it follows him, hoping to be lead back to the Shadowlands.

#He thinks its a hallucination but then other people see it and hes like oh #it wont leave him alone so over time he decides to just accept that its there #and strangely bonds with it as some weird form of therapy #it likes pets and doesnt eat anything and is very good at scouting ahead or alerting to danger #that said its never been to the realm of the living and thus does not fit in very well both in looks and behavior #and it carries the stench of death that forsaken #and deathknights can pick out a mile away #fic idea #anduin wrynn #world of warcraft #shadowlands #the art sucks cuz im going back and forth between artblock and i just aggghh sometimes its harddd

It's still fucking wild to me how many moments in BBC Merlin scream out with pure love and devotion between Arthur and Merlin.

I mean take the journey to Ismere for example, Merlin is so ready to give up on Gwaine and Percival, which seems so unbelievable but that's just the point Merlin's gotten to in the last three years (I believe it all comes from him killing Agravaine, something shifts with him in that moment)

And then you have Arthur as loyal and stubborn as ever to his men.

Which how you get him saying his men are more than friends, more than brothers. It's so wild, like what does that leave Arthur, what does that bloody leave.

And Merlin replies with "I understand. I wish I didn't, but I do."

It's so like, what is this, what is this. Why do they gaze into each other's eyes for 9 damn seconds after that.

Truly is a conversation that feels so layered, they never directly talk about their care for each other directly, and it feels like such a roundabout way of saying it, while Arthur also makes it clear that he would never abandon his men and it's so honestly wild.

Because it is so gay sdjhfgjhsdfg

#bbc merlin #merlin #merthur #also like the more than friends and more than brothers thing - he's saying that his men are more than family basically #which you know makes me lean into thinking Arthur cannot describe the homoeroticism between knights :P #this bond that men forged in battle only know and yeah it's like really like Arthur knows they're outside this binary of how people are #defined and so what does it leave? it leaves the bond between loyal men that would die for each other and do anything for each other #and what is that? who knows. Arthur certainly doesnt #it's so wild this is just in the show like mannnn what a moment
