#but STAY SHARP

[lico-tomato]

Hi, S. lycopersicum here! The tomato currently known as Lico.

So, I was gearing up to post a new thing, a neat optical illusion to show everyone, and then came across the sad news of my own demise.

I've already mailed my complaints to the circus, but I can't say I expect much from the clowns in charge. For now, I'll just set up shop in this old account. Give me some time to clean up first.

So... yeah. Real bummer.

#oh hey uh... #i got better? #but STAY SHARP #it could happen again #it could happen TO YOU #value your places treasure your friends tell them you love them before some glitch wipes you out

getting emotional over footage of an amateur scuba diver interacting with a coelacanth. they are hunted by large deepwater predators, and here comes a large creature bearing the brightest lights it's ever seen, making strange noises, but it does not shy away. it hovers, calmly, as the diver reaches out and trails a hand down its back. im strongly against the anthropomorphizing of real life animals but the stupid emotional part of me loudly insists this is because it recognizes us, the alternating movements of its four paired limbs matching the diver's four paired limbs, & it is thinking, "hello, cousins, we missed you these 66 million years, it's so good to see you again. welcome back, welcome home."

#[OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER: he should NOT have touched the fish. do NOT touch random fish you find while scuba diving #especially if the fish is 6ft long & has sharp teeth #ESPECIALLY if the fish is a critically endangered species #being overwhelmed by the majesty of the coelcanth is understandable but that does not excuse his behavior] #[obligatory disclaimer 2: i know nothing about this guy; by 'amateur' i just mean he wasnt part of a scientific expedition at the time] #[obligatory disclaimer 3: i mean it wasnt CALM. its first dorsal fin was erect which we have reason to believe means it is on edge. #but it didnt flee like you would expect of a wild animal] #...disclaimers over. now im going to wail about how life began in the sea and we left & they stayed #& we thought they were gone & now we're finding our way back home to them #they are so beautiful and they are our family and they love us ok. they do i know it in my heart #coelacanth #Latimeria chalumnae #animals #andy original #ALSO I KNOW THEY HAVE 8 FINS by four paired limbs i mean the pelvic and pectoral the others arent paired they dont move like legs do

Y'all are getting a twofer this weekend. I'm supposed to be writing the next Gravity Well chapter but when have I ever been able to wrangle my impulses?

Not that this is in any way related to the 3quelfic, but I wanted to brainstorm sleeping quarters on a heavily modified Auzituck gunship and then got lost in the sauce in my newer CSP brushes. This is all in service of future fic illustrations, don't judge me.

May or may not work on a third sketch based on a pre-ANH meet-cute before the weekend is over. I hope not. I really need to write.

#shirozora draws #dinluke #skydalorian #din djarin #luke skywalker #the mandalorian #star wars #the power of a giant nitro cold brew with two shots of espresso #is the ability to stay sharp and draw like a mad lad for over 10 hours despite having an extremely sleep-deprived work week. #this ship has a grip on my soul and i am here for it #BUT I REALLY NEED TO WRITE. KICK MY ASS IF I TRY TO DO EVERYTHING BUT WRITE #it's 4:15 AM and I am going tf to sleep

I can't get this out of my head. It's just something that ive had rattling around. If this doesn't make much sense I'm sorry lol but.

Do you ever think about if the Spartan ii's ever met one of those siblings without realizing it?

Like. John meeting a young female marine. She's quick witted and wicked smart. There is almost nothing she will back down from. At least not until she gets a "win." She will never leave one of her teammates behind. She's also known among her friends for her dry sense of humor.

One day she runs into John whiles he's out of armor. She never realizes that he's the Master Chief as they stare at one another. Blue eyes look into blue. The roots of her hair are blonde. Contrasted against a dark brown. They share the same smattering of freckles. Dusted along their face and down to their arms. Petering out along the backs of their hands.

And when she smiles there's a gap in her front teeth. (One tooth is chipped from a hard won game of King of the Hill.) She jokes that they match.

Apparently her brother had to. Her parents told her about him. How he had passed a few years before she was born. Her mother told her about her and her brothers shared a constellation of freckles.

Maybe Kelly runs into a pair of twin engineers. One is a girl. The other a boy. The girl has her hair cropped short. It's faded green. The boy has long hair. Held back in a tight braid. It's blue.

They strike up a conversation with Kelly one day. Mostly out of boredom. At one point talking about how they had been on their schools track team. Twin Terrors they had been called. They were the fastest in the entirety of their schools career.

They are the only two out of the group of engineers and scientists that could match her humor.

Kelly never sees them again after that. But she thinks about them often enough. About how they all shared the same accented voice.

About the day they all raced.

She won. Of course. But something about it made her feel like she was missing something. She matched it to the same feeling to her younger years with the rest of the ii's on Reach. On some of the few days they had true fun.

Linda was sent to therapy. Well. Not really sent. It was... Suggested. That she go.

Linda did. This time. For the first time. The last time.

She met an older man. Her elder by about three or four years. With the same red hair, that has streaks of white at the temples, and piercing green eyes.

Those eyes that looked at her like she does down the snipers scope. Those eyes that seemed to know her own.

She could see them widen. Hear the hitch on his breath as they flicker to a photograph and then back to her.

He...

Maybe she had seen him in passing once. Despite him never having been on this ship before.

He has been the one to pull the trigger.

"I don't think I'm the right match for you." His voice rumbled in a familiar way.

When she left. Linda tried to stop thinking about the worn, frames photo on his desk. The one with a boy. About eight or nine. With a shock of bright red hair. He held an archery trophy in one hand. In his other. The hand of a little girl. Close to five. With that same shock of red hair and green eyes that seemed to see you even through the cameras lense.

Fred meets a medic after a nasty injury. The Odst's and Marines in his company joke that he has as getting the best medic around.

He was a young man. Kind and deeply empathetic.

Those same Marines also joked about how the two of them could be siblings in a different life. With how they shared the same sloped nose and sharp jaw. The same, soft manner of speaking.

"Seriously Lieutenant. Just give the Doc the same hair cut. Could fool me that's for sure."

The medic said that he did have a brother. One that he has never met. That he had passed away a few months before he had been born .

But he and his parents visited his grave every year on his brother's birthday. And that this was the first year that he wouldn't be able to.

"He's be turning thirty three today." The medic had just finished Fred's stitches.

"Oh." Fred spoke it before it could be stopped.

"Oh what?" The medic had asked.

"I turned thirty three today." It was one of the few things he remembered. Something he rarely thought about. Because something around it had made his heart hurt.

"Here then. Happy birthday." The medic handed Fred a chocolate granola bar.

#halo #fred 104 #kelly 087 #linda 058 #john 117 #idk man #like #i cant help but think like #what if little fred had been so excited to have a new sibling #what if it was something he was forced to forget about because it's something he wouldn't stop talking about #do you think kellu would have helped her siblings practice with track? #do you think they would have continued her legacy of being the fastest kid on track? #do you think Linda would have adored her older brother? #that she would copy everything he did? #how even being a sharpshooter followed her all the way to reach #that the family's sharp eye stayed with her no matter what? #do you think that john would have been super protective of his baby sister? #that even though he was nearly sixteen years older than her that he would have adored her? #loved her so much that he would enlist in the unsc to keep her safe? #to protect her from the covenant? #do you think she would have followed right after him after they both lost their parents? #sorry for the rambling lol

[marzipanandminutiae]

just thinking about something Jessica Chastain said about Lucille

paraphrasing: "She's a very simple woman...she likes playing piano, she likes to read a book, she likes being around her brother..."

and like. so many people want her to be this conniving villain who glories in her crimes, but she's just trying to make Home for herself and Thomas

a safe secluded place that she can rest in with the only person she wants around. to be warm and secure and loved, and never have to worry about losing it all again

(she's lost so much, so often. her childhood, her innocence. the illusion of parental love. six years of her life and what remained of her mental wellbeing, in the asylum. her home, slowly over the years. her baby. there's something else the actress said, about dogs so heavily abused that they bite immediately despite longing to be touched)

she doesn't want to be killing people, and that's one of the big key elements of the character. she doesn't regret anything, I don't think; she feels it was necessary. but she doesn't want that necessity. she never did

she just wants to live her simple life in peace- and unfortunately, has ended up conditioned to pursue that goal in some of the worst ways possible

#crimson peak #meta #lucille sharpe #don't even get me started on 'she never loved Thomas' #OF COURSE she loves him! that's the problem! if she hated him she'd have no problem letting him go (as she sees it)! #if she didn't want him to be happy she wouldn't stay and keep doing all the dirty work- literally (around the house) and figuratively! #it might be better for him if she DIDN'T love him!

alexa play gary come home :((

#pens lb #i miss him.... #i know playing a goalie while hes hot is a thing. i know that. but whats the long-term plan here? you're going to have #ned still increasing his chances of injuries and fatigue AND a goalie who hasnt played in weeks #its unfair to ned and its setting jarry up to be a scrapgoat in important games #like im not a big fan of the bruins but theyve been doing the right thing in actually alternating their goalies every other game #so the other gets to rest while staying sharp and they're both well experienced. #jarry has 6!!!! shutouts!!!! and thats while being the goalie for the fucking pittsburgh penguins! #you KNOW he can play. you know hes good. why are you purposely setting him up to fail. #and ned has been wonderful! i was so nervous he was going to be traded after not being played for a good bit. i love my eyebrows boy and am #so happy and proud he's been having these opportunities to show how good and valuable he is to this team #but overworking him to such an extent is (once again) setting him up to fail just as much as its setting jarry up to be that scrapegoat #mike sullivan i am shaking you by the shoulders demanding to know what the fuck has been up with these lineups lately

Gosh, it's almost october already? Time flies! For a Vargas request: its quite a fluffy one for the spooky times (and the source material haha), but I've always found the idea of Edgar from And Also With You sleeping on his wings quite endearing. They're built in blankets! Great for some rest (which this man desperately needs lmao).

Day 5 - Heavenly rest

#My art #Requestober #Vargas #Edgar #But you and I both know he's not gonna Stay asleep for long haha #Phew I feel out of wing practice too! All these reminders! It's good to come back haha #I yet again lined all those chains by hand - who can stop me? Lol #I also think it's a bit funny that I drew his halo like that lol - I've previously just done the super-sharp disc style #This is more on-model! But I'm not used to it! How/why did my brain default to this?? Lol well it works #Imagining him curling up on his lonesome ah it's sweet and sad #A little Edgar-cocoon but he's already got beautiful wings! Would he turn back into a caterpillar? #All his eyes look so strange closed as well! Almost more like scars on his skin #Or the one on his forehead looks like an eyebrow haha #Like he's grimacing in his sleep but no! He's quite restful in the moment <3 #He'll get a rude wake up call in no time ♪

[hood-ex]

One of my favorite parts of UTRH is when Bruce is brooding and is like, I can't rely on anyone anymore, and then it immediately cuts to Dick landing next to Bruce and saying, "Hey." Like that transition is smooth as hell because Dick's appearance coupled with Bruce's vague invitation for Dick to help him on his case easily contradicts Bruce's thoughts.

#another great thing is how bruce keeps telling dick ''stay sharp! stay sharp!'' like he's some kinda sports coach lmao #idk i think it's cute #Bruce Wayne #Dick Grayson #Batman 636

DONT READ, GO STUDY ‼️‼️

Okay but mermaid reg having a lil collection of things James gave him or he found in james' apartment that are his favourite and he keeps them lined up on the windowsil or like, on a special shelf in the bathroom and he kind of hides them behind a loofah like don't look these are my special things but they're ALL little trinkets James gave him and his cheeks are so pink and his eyebrows are SO angry if anyone notices/sees the special things and realizes they're all from james

ok finished studying for tonight and gonna go to bed but lord i ate all of ur asks i am nibbling on them ALL i went insane.

mermaid reg having a collection of things YOU ARE SO FUCKIN RIGHT!!! i need him in his ariel moment he is keeping all of the little trinkets james gifts him but also the things he just stole (james knows. he doesn't mind. finds it endearing even. there's a very nice polished rock right next to a penny reg probably found between the cushions)

also the reg with wobbly bambi legs ask: yes. the first time he sheds his scales and shapeshifts into a more 'human' resembling form, the first thing he does is crawl into james' bed. james comes home seeing a shrivelled mermaid tale and he just feels his fucking pulse in his ASS out of fear before sighing the deepest sighs of reliefs when he finds regulus curled up in bed, swaddled by pillows and blankets. reg briefly wakes up bc he is still a predator at heart and is alert of his surroundings. tugs james down in bed with him and is quick to bury his nose in his neck bc he smells like seawalter and everything that is home.......

regulus is also definitely nosy. learns how to walk and stay upright and he is snooping through everything extensively.

#answered #also the ask of him being so grumpy when james goes to work and knowing when he goes to work bc his attire #dfjgsdfgdsgfds #SPLASH #oh no... ur wet...guess u gotta stya home #reg who starts faking injury/illness so james stays home #ALSO YES TO WEBBED FINGERS OF COURSE??? #ill go insane in his siren form <3 #webbed fingers. sharp claws. #gills. pretty scales

i love jason todd because even after everything he went through he still chooses to help others. maybe it’s different, maybe post-resurrection it’s more violent, but ultimately at his core his drive to do good and help the people who can’t help themselves has always been there and is unchanged. the only thing that’s different is his perspective and methods.

#he’s jagged and sharp and does not deliver mercy but in some ways he’s still the kid who would cry with the people he helped *wails* #he’s an asshole and petty and loves revenge but is still passionate abt his beliefs *wails* #even as trauma has shaped him some things have stayed the same and to him that’s what’s important *dies* #JASONNNNNNNNNN *resurrects* #jason todd #dc comics
