#but she's improving a lot with him too

[fbwzoo]

These two have come so far in the past year with their ability to share mom cuddles - well, mostly Emma's ability. Thankfully she has had an easier time warming up to Phoebe than Shilo, but it still took time before she was okay with Phoebe climbing on me for cuddles when Emma was already attached to me.

Not only did they share me for 5-10 minutes, at one point, Emma even nuzzled Phoebe & licked her forehead & ears. 🥹

#cats and dogs #phoebe kitty #Emma pup #we're still working on sharing me with Shilo #he's got zero awareness and will start kneading claws too close to her #so if I'm not watching she'll get anxious and yell/lunge at him #but she's improving a lot with him too #we've had a couple shared cuddles with no incidents now #just takes a lot more vigilance from me #and usually moving Shilo along while we're still on a good note #also lots of praise and reassurance for Emma #but I'm very happy these two are doing so well now #also it's kinda funny how often i end up covered in animals now #Emma's always attached to me #then half the time you can add in a cat or spring as well #sometimes Addy but I'd usually rather she attach to Jack bc she big and too much pressure

The garment, worn by those in good standing with Hyrule royalty, has been reworked with the latest improvements, such as a new shoulder guard.

#I miss my wife tails. I miss her a lot. I’ll be back #I love the champions leathers design but the story behind it is so sweet too like. she wanted to thank him so she went and #got some improvements added to it?? and she wanted to see his face when she surprises him with it hello????? #I think my favourite part is the half chest just for angst. I like imagining she was very particular about the armour placements #and had a chest piece added because yknow. right over the heart might I add #originally I wanted this to be more angsty but halfway through I was like wait this would completely miss the point #in my mind the armor isn’t just ‘I don’t want you to die again’ but also ‘I want to keep you safe as best I can’ #in her diary she was like links armor is wearing down so you know what? I’m gonna add more armor to better protect him!!! #and with her upbringing in mind (and the conversation she had with him about whether he would still choose to be a knight if things were #different) she could have totally asked him to stop doing it altogether. but she made the armor for him instead #sidenote she also got to be a teacher and scholar like she wanted and that is so. dont look at me I’m crying #I don’t know if ANY of this makes sense I’m just rambling. yes I wear the champions leathers every chance I get why do you ask #btw if you squint the leathers chainmail and sweater are taken from the hylian armor chestpiece! slightly modified on the tunic but cool #my art #myart #tears of the kingdom #totk #totk spoilers #totk zelda #totk link #botw spoilers #botw #breath of the wild #loz #loz fanart #comic #tw blood #blood

Has Prisma’s relationship with Gooey improved? Or is she still sort of unnerved by the lil guy? How does she feel about him being a Dark Matter?

"I've always liked Gooey...him being dark matter always frightened me though. But he's really not that scary...or maybe I'm getting a little braver?"

#prisma knight #gooey #anon #kirby #kirby oc #it helps that gooey has a lot of light matter in him too #so prisma facing her unease toward him is a lot easier #and the dark matter won't react as strong if she doesn't allow it to #anyways: thats improvement babey!

it’s interesting to see how taylor has always imagined her ideal partner as being courageous (“headfirst fearless,” “this love is brave and wild,” “you walked in wearing a football helmet and said okay let’s talk,” “don’t blame me love made me crazy if it doesn’t you ain’t doing it right,” “standing broad-shouldered next to her was a love that was really something….”) and how i think at first she thought that joe simply being willing to be with her felt courageous but then as she grew she realized that it wasn’t enough of that feeling because he wasn’t always standing broad-shouldered next to her, only when it was convenient for him. and that’s not fearless. that’s just doing what’s easiest

#i’ve been thinking a lot recently about love languages #and how not only are there the five that everyone talks abouf #but like. for me. i experience love through excitement. i’m excited about this! and if you love me then you should be too! #and how i show others i love them is by being excited about their lives snd interests #so i’ve been thinking lately that another love language (or maybe currency) is an emotion #and i think for taylor it has always been fearlessness #because she’s SUCH an innovator. about everything #her career and her work and her personal life and the industry and and and #so i think part of love for her is the enjoyment of trying new things!! and exploring how that can improve your life! #and i think that’s what she’s talking about all those times #and also why sweet nothing is on the denial playlist. oops. #(what she originally ran home to him for was the love that made her crazy. not sweet nothing.) #ttpd #random thoughts with grace

My headcanons for the named trio in The Cursing of Chateau Castle series:

Josephandre is a big bear. It just fits for him I think! He gets he/him pronouns, and as a way to make him a liiiil more relatable for Mira, he'd have two craft types (Rock type being his main one and paper craft for the other). Battle style wise, I think it fits him to be more of a self-sustaining tank. He buffs defense, heals, and puts up shields. For his weapon, he'd use his fists like Isabeau. He'll be the second fastest in the trio.

Lady Irene-Janine-Kanine looks like an elegant noblewoman on the outside but she has vibes similar to Euphrasie! She gets she/her pronouns. Her craft type is Paper. Battle style wise, she's more on the offensive side, a main dps kind of thing. Most of her skills focus on buffing attack and speed, she'd have an item that helps regen her hp a lil bit and her chosen weapon is an umbrella. The tip is a sharp blade so it's used like a spear that has a hidden sword in its handle. Open it, and it becomes a shield! That'd be one of her skills too, although it's only applicable to her. She's the fastest one of the trio.

Pierre-Jacques-Erneste looks like a nobleman and carries himself as such! He gets he/they pronouns. Their craft type is Scissors. Battle style wise, he's more of a debuffer, skills focusing on weakening the enemies, slowing them down, poisoning them. Their weapon is a sword dagger, though he doesn't seem to be able to handle it well, how clumsy! But he Is a nobleman so it makes sense! Oh but... why doesn't he have a title? They're the slowest one of the trio, how strange, he seemed to be faster than Lady Irene-Janine-Karine that one time though.

#aria rants #how do i even tag these things bro im like-- why am i such a fan of a fragmented series in isat #okay so-- josephandre relied mostly on raw strength when he was travelling all alone before meeting the others #and i think he'd have a fun uncle vibe to him. which makes it easy for others to approach him and befriend him #but he Also carries a sort of pride and dignity to him which makes the others mistake him for a nobleman cuz of it #esp considering the fact that he later became famous for helping those in need and such. #lady irene on the other hand. being a noble she's always had to keep her guard up. also doesnt help that noblewomen #got the short end of the stick what with the ''arrange marriage'' things and being below noblemen #her umbrella weapon helps a lot in warding off the assholes. i think that during the journey with josephandre's party #she got to finally be herself without needing to sugarcoat her words in a way that a noble should. she would also figure out a #way to improve on her shield spell to not only apply to just her but her entire party too. she cares a lot about them after all #meanwhile i got a Whole scenario for pierre (being an illegitimate child of a noble family and all that. i made a post bout it) #he's actually a lot more capable than what he makes himself appear as. but its like part of the plan on getting the others #to lower their guards around him for when pierre betrays them. in actuality pierre is actually faster than irene altho #not much stronger still (irene and josephandre are still stronger than him) considering that pierre mainly focused on #stealth type attacks. hes more used to using a sword than a dagger (he mightve wanted to prove their worth) #it makes their battle style and weapon clash due to the fact that swords arent that good for stealth much than a dagger #its one of the reasons why hes trying to get used to the dagger than the sword. but it is a bit difficult to learn a new weapon

I wish the show had given us more glimpses into Xander and Anya’s relationship away from the rest of the gang. What we do see seems sweet, and they both are at ease and calm with each other in ways they’re not - for a variety of reasons - in public. In OMwF before the singing, Xander is content and excited to make them breakfast. And what we do hear about their relationship in front of the scoobs is snippets of Xander actively trying to help Anya integrate into the gang (and the world at large) and setting boundaries.

I know Xander’s “employee - employer vocabulary no-nos” bother some in both content and delivery; but to me, it’s representative of Xander’s understanding of Anya’s personality and both her attributes and limitations, and how hard he works to help her. He anticipates where Anya and Giles will clash, and works to mitigate those clashes to help insulate Anya from Giles’ annoyance and wrath. Xander sat down and came up with at least 5 but potentially more areas he saw where there would most likely be conflict, and worked with Anya to overcome them. He can’t go to Giles - he isn’t Giles’ favorite person either. But he can think about how to help Anya, and how to guide her in this one area. He puts so much more thought in how to help Anya have a genial relationship with Giles than he does for himself, and he wanted Giles to see him as a son at one point.

And when Anya does things he finds uncomfortable, says things he finds uncomfortable, he has conversations with her in private about it. "Ok... remember how we talked about private conversations and how they're less private when they're in front of my friends?” He isn’t perfect (and neither is Anya), but he does try to address his and his friends’ discomfort. And he eventually compromises. He either bends or accepts Anya’s ways, and even talks openly about being bathed in a sexy way, not a geriatric way.

Anya loves Xander. I believe it because she continually faces her worst fear - death - to be with him. But Xander wholeheartedly loves Anya, too. He’s snarky and sometimes cutting, but the sheer amount of *time* he spends on their relationship and Anya’s relationship with the others is his declaration of love.

#buffy the vampire slayer #xander harris #anya jenkins #xander x anya #I have a lot of Xander feelings #about a lot of things #but he spends so much time thinking about Anya and trying to improve her life #she likes her job at the magic box and she’s so *good* at it #he can’t let it fall apart because she and Giles clash #not when he can help her #not when he can diffuse the situation #he says they went over vocab no-nos in front of Giles to - I think - mollify him too #he’s saying ‘she’s trying give her a chance’ #he’s saying ‘she’s working hard to not upset you - harder than I’ve ever worked’ #he’s saying ‘she can do this just let her’ #and I love him for it

Kaeya once gave up drinking for a whole month in penance because he'd accidentally embarrassed Diona in setting off her instincts to pounce by idly reflecting lights from an ice crystal.

#hc; kaeya #hc; diona #//To be fair; he wasn't actually aiming to distract HER #//But a cat he'd been playing with #//She just happened to be walking by with a tray of drinks and IMMEDIATELY lunged for it #//Not only did he promise to give up drinks that long in apology; but also volunteered to clean up the mess AND paid for the drinks spilled #//Mind you; it was absolute HELL for him; abruptly going cold turkey that long #//His migraines got so bad; it wasn't even funny #//But he kept to his promise anyways. Bc he is a Gentleman and a Knight #//He NEVER let her know just how bad it got for him that month. every time she tried to pry or taunt; he would swiftly take her focus away #//His knights tho weren't so lucky lmao. It was known as Hell Month; with the training and patrols he put them through #//On the bright side tho; their skills improved Greatly AND troubles in Mond decreased Immensely; too #//He offered everyone staggered paid vacation times in the following months in apology; if not offered to pay for drinks that month too #//Most took up his drinks offer; luckily enough #//Diona claims that month was the most peaceful she'd every worked #//The fact that Kaeya was suddenly a Lot quicker to Intimidate/kick nuisances out of the Cats Tail for her MAY have had smth to do with it #//She still argues since he could do a whole month without alcohol; he could easily give it up altogether #//She still doesn't get why he keeps laughing hysterically every time she brings it up #//It annoys her to no end

Feeling very soft again thinking about how he just got back to work after being sick and the first thing he does is to come to my office and ask me to tell him all about what happened to me in the week that he couldn't be here. So I say something like "my supervisor had the audacity to criticise my paper despite saying that he hasn't even really read it yet" and I had been actually quite mad about that, but then he goes "Oh, but that's what you want, isn't it? Someone criticising your work, someone fighting back a bit?" And I stopped and felt my anger disappear instantly and I thought ... actually yeah, you're right, why are you right? Why was I even mad? Why do you know better what I want than I do?

#it's quite funny to me actually how he must have (correctly) drawn the conclusion that i like criticism because he and i are always fighting #like intellectually not on a personal level but a lot of the time we just question each other to our faces for like an hour and it's fun! #knowing him has been so helpful in preparing my talks because now i always wonder 'what will he criticise about this?' and go and improve i #also feeling kinda soft about how i said that a very cool researcher reached out to me after attending a talk of mine #because she thought my study was interesting and she had some thoughts about it that are actually helpful to me #and then i told him about it and he went 'but you made that point too! i remember! she's just rewording your words!' #which also had not occurred to me and so i said i might have but she put it more elegantly and in context but that it's still really helpfu #and he just looked at me like 'don't you dare give her credit for your ideas just because of her better wording' #i always feel like i'm not kind enough to him in return. like i'm nice but am i kind enough? can i ever repay him for his kindness? #what does it mean what does it all mean #ramblings

accidentally started writing some ninerose smut while working on my tentoorose smut.

#there is a link between tentoorose and ninerose that i really find fascinating #not just that tentoo is canonically more ninelike in some ways #but that once things slow down a little i think they'd talk more about when they first met #s2 it bridges so easily but i feel like even at the end nine didn't fully grasp how into him she was #(don't say that's an improvement) #as much as i LOVE ten/tentoo being made for her. she loved nine the way he was too #which is why idg why people get upset abt that's me when we first met etc #because are you misrememebring nine/ninerose or do u not think they were soft and good too? #bc if it's the latter why u even here #all he was saying is he's been thru a lot of trauma since doomsday #that's the pain of 10. he heals and then gets cracked all the way back to the beginning #but tentoo has a chance to heal again. because rose makes him better #just like he does her

my whole dash is exploding over shadow what on earth happened to his man Dates

one of the writers for idw sonic stated that the rules for writing shadow have changed a bit, specifically that theres clearer and more reasonable guidelines for how to write him, and that the upcoming issues with shadow in them were easier to write than past ones because of this

#she also said to not get your hopes up Too much because its not perfect but that its still an improvement #but ill take any improvement at this point even if its small #asks #also if you dont know the context at all and why people are celebrating this: #for a long time writers for the comics and shows have talked about how difficult it is to write shadow and include him in things #because sega has a bunch of weird rules about how hes supposed to act. a lot of which make him a bit out of character #when you compare him to what he was like before #the writers for the sonic boom tv show only had shadow show up in like 3 episodes because of this #and there are some pretty infamous Shadow the Hedgehog Clown Behavior Moments in idw sonic #so. the knowledge that things are changing for shadow is very exciting

Ok I know a lot of people don’t like Bronev or make him out to be abusive  as a result but I think its so much more interesting if he isnt?

It was said on multiple occasion that he was a good person that got consumed by his obsession with the Azrans

He’s just an asshole who selfishly made all the wrong decisions justifying himself by having to make sacrifices that ultimately hurt the sacrificed people, among which is his family, significantly more than himself.

And that creates so many interesting conflicted and contradicting relationships with various characters!! Bronev is an interesting villain!!

#professor layton #bronev #leon bronev #by sacrifices i mean rachel and his sons as well as emmy #probably also the people targent killed and blackmailed #like he literally says he wants the azran legacy for the betterment and improvement w technology for humanity or something #but any normal person would know that maybe killing a hell of a lot of people in the name of greater good isnt....actually a good path #i think bronev just keeps saying (to others AND himself) that 'oh no look my story is so tragic my wife is dead i had to leave my kids....' #he didnt even follow up on his wife's last wishes #shes like 'i wish i couldve seen our kids again.....our dream lives on within you :)' #and hes like 'yes rachel i know what i must do.....take over targent and create a corrupt military organisation that kills people for profit #also emmy layton and descole with bronev are such interesting relationships bc theyre all different #also ive had several people in the notes of my art going 'oh yea bronev probably emotionally neglected her' or #'she probably didnt have too great of a life etc etc' #and like i think no! i think it was okay for the most part and post story she still likes bronev. visits him in prison. sends him letters #but feels SO goddamn guilty that she does like this person who obviously did so many bad things especially to people she knew too like layto

goodness I love him so much

#wow. today was wild. i made more progress on the game and he showed up a LOT #he did some horrible things. beat some people up. kidnapped a child. suggested he cut the child's finger off and mail it to her grandpa. #but... 😳. im so in love with him. he's such an asshole but wow... wow. he's so funny and handsome.. and so strong... and his voice gives me #so many butterflies!!! to think that i once hated this man... funny how fast things change huh? #also. another character called him “the meanest son of a bitch i know” (direct quote) #HE'S SO RIGHT. BUT.. HE'S MY MEAN SON OF A BITCH #he totally owned it too ajsjajsj he KNOWS he's horrible!!!! but also.. he cares a lot about his Blade... too bad she didnt last for long LOL #ash tries her best to comfort him during that time. she had grown to care so much for the man she considered her biggest rival in the world. #she also falls in love with him- ahem- and um... if i may be a little self-indulgent........ a.khos falls for ash too. #AHEM SNDHWIRYWBRBW #it's the enemies to lovers ship of the century!!!! #(i never said this but... he can get really cuddly when he's sleepy. it's the cutest thing in the world honestly) #and... you know how he's a theater kid and always talks about the script and shit? well uh... after their first kiss ash just chuckles #'that wasnt on the script right?' #of course he says no. falling for ash wasnt on the script but... for once he doesnt mind going off script #ash just shyly smiles. 'youre really good at improv then.' #OH ALSO #AHSJWHDJQHDJ #a.khos also likes to call ash his 'leading lady' #GAAAAHHH I HATE HIM (lying) ive fallen so hard for him. he's all i can think about. my heart is his. i am so sorry to all my discord friends #because i never shut the hell up about him #ash rambles 💚 #i love him!!!! i know he's an asshole but i love him for that too!!

I really can't stand Gil

#Thinking about him for some reason tonight/this morning/esta madrugada #And like I can't stand him. It never changes lol #Someone else besides my cousin's girlfriend is now also reading PH because I asked #and between one and the other I'm falling again in the realisation of how much I can't stand him haha #I went into PH for the first time and saw him and thought 'oh he's neat. really pretty' #and just a few chapters later I couldn't stand the sight of him haha #Shittiest character ever. And I do love shitty characters often but the way Gil is in particular irks me a lot for some reason #I guess it's in part the narration and how hypocrital it is at times when it comes to him #Which would make sense with the ending if it weren't for the fact that I don't think it feels narrated by Gil at all until that very moment #Or not that I recall. I could reread to check again #Anyway... He is the favourite character of my cousin's girlfriend for now because 'he's very pretty and he is so kind and nice' omg #My attempts at keeping my dislike at bay were unsuccessful I think #One of the guidebooks actually brings up the topic about how shitty he is (I'm letting her borrow those too #so I'll wait and see what she thinks about it) which as I told Leigh was very validating #because this may be one of my most unpopular opinions of the manga? xD #On the other hand he was compared in that very fragment to Liam‚ who I also think was quite a shitty person despite how he is constructed #or at least perceived by the other characters as perhaps one of the best persons in the manga #Anyway yeah... Rereading these few first chapters because of being asked a question about them sent me into a Gil spiral tonight lol #Funny how it works like irl to some extent. I can't even perceive him as beautiful anymore‚ or not as I did at the very beginning #Despite how much the art improved #Although I think it's also his gestures #I talk too much #I should probably delete this later #Anyway #Vincent prettiest brother among the two #Despite not being really my thing at all either #I mean #He's blond

okay i've been messing around with a bunch of teams trying to fit candace in somewhere and i think i like how this one feels. i'm gonna make this fucking work or die trying

#0.txt #not totally sure who's gonna be the main dps between kaeya and rosaria yet #the thing with kaeya is i have a bunch of good swords i can just throw on him meanwhile i don't rly #have a lot of offensive polearm options for rosaria but she is so nice with r5 fav lance since you already want to build her w a lot of cri #but rosaria feels better to play. she's also c6 and actually built i have to fucking level kaeya and shit ajsdfklajsf #originally i wanted candace to main dps but she then has split scaling so her own personal damage is kinda :| #so i'm just going full hp on her instead #and albedo is just kinda There LMAO i mostly needed an off fielder who wouldn't interfere too much with reactions #i could also just use zhongli if dodging ends up being too hard #i also tried yun jin but idk. i have her built and when she buffs SHE BUFFS but despite having 222% er i always struggle getting #her burst up unless there's another battery/favonius weapon user on the team #yun jin being there also means her and rosaria fight over the favonius lance #i actually have another one bc i'm r8 on that weapon but the other one is not leveled at all and i don't rly wanna farm materials for it #anyways this is gonna be my team building project for the next rotation of things #cyno's team was basically done before i even got cyno lol i could still improve artifacts all around but for now im happy w that team #and i need something to do other than suffer in the emblem domain every day

i want to try and start making/getting into animatics but the only idea i currently have for one involves putting it to a song and that's probably not the best thing to START learning with lmfao but go big or go home right, not like i'll be getting to it anytime soon with how goddamn busy i've been and how many other things i want to do first 🤣

#my idea came though because we're onto act 2 of chicago #shows at the end of the month and i'm so excited 🥳 #but anyways velma's first song of the act 'i know a girl' is BIG FUCKING Emil to Bruce vibes lmfaoooo #its just so bitter and self pitying and funny and i can very much see emil thinking this way prior to all his self improvement 😂 #like the context changes because in the play velma sings it watching roxie on the news after roxie reveals she's (faking) a pregnancy #whereas for this i'd imagine its emil watching bruce on the news from jail too but its bruce getting accepted onto the avengers lol #'now why didnt i think of that? 😒' 😂 #i also think that how roxie acts in the song is perfect to show how emil SEES bruce #as someone putting on a show to get out of the exact spot emil's in not the innocent little scientist with a big bad hulk inside him 🙄 #you know cause emil be projecting hardcore 🤣 #i just think the lyrics fit well and there's a lot of moments that could be tweaked to make them fit the new context while keeping #the wording #like with roxie's whole 'the two of us' thing being bruce/hulk instead of roxie and her 'baby' 😂 #this would be the most self indulgent thing i've ever made which is exactly why its a project i would like to work on #when i have more time. its a fun goal to keep in mind even if i'm the only one who finds it funny 😂 #i know a girl #a girl who lands on top #you could put her face into a pail of slop #and she'd come up smellin' like a rose #how she does it heaven knows 😒 😂
