So yeah the symbolism of Cannibalism in media is really interesting to me, I love the idea of eating someone as way of showing devoted love that transcends death. A love that is as brutal and violent as it is tender and sweet.

So the relationship between Bill and Ford pines and how they consume eachother emotionally - *I am shot dead and dragged off the stage, replaced by a guy wearing a fish costume tap dancing*

#They should get to eat eachother is that too much to ask #gang have i flew too close to the sun with this one #tw cannibalism mention #cannibalism mention #gravity falls #stanford pines #ford pines #bill cipher #billford

mirage being called sunshine and v2 having the icarus motif is driving me So fucking crazy

#kicking my leg so hard #anywayz u guys know how there’s one retelling of the icarus story where icarus flew too close to the sun to meet his lover [ apollo ] #and then crashed into the sea laughing #im such a loser for v2 adoring mirage and filling in the gaps of where her self deprecation ends and her joy begins #and then mirage being the one v2 can look forward to each day #anywayz I love them so bad .

I hope it's still okay to talk about traffic!Mumbo

A lot of the times,it's either Grian or Scar or Martyn that's popular within the life series fandom,but Mumbo's my favourite character so I'm glad that you like him a lot as well!

I just love that Last Life kind of started so good for him,with the Southlands,the aha jokes,the base and farms,but then he and Grian had that moment on the bridge and would only be red with Grian,who wanted him to join him SO BADLY,if he killed Mumbo fair and square.

Then Mumbo turned red and went INSANE with the end crystals.He was forced out of the Southlands (I think),he was trying to attack so many people,and didn't hesitate to push Impulse off of the SAME bridge that Grian tried to kill him on.He still joined up with fellow reds but he kept moving through different people,until he met up with Jimmy,a fellow Southlander,and died in his home,by the hands of one of his closest allies.

He's just kind of a tragic character that's different to the usual angst of the life series,somebody who wanted friends but lost them all and went insane and bloodthirsty because of it.

This might not make sense,or just feel like a basic explanation of Mumbo's Last life journey,but still,it was nice to talk about him and I love your art of Mumbo!

Yes yes yes YES!

I absolutely love traffic!Mumbo because the more you rewatch his povs, the more tragic he seems to become.

Like you said, it started out great! He got a group of friends, he got 4 lives, jokes - everything was perfect! But then the Bastion happened, and he lost his first life. Okay, that's scary! He hadn't died on hardcore before, so it's weird and was definitely a lot more terrifying than if he died on Hermitcraft.

He calls for help in chat, asking if someone, anyone, can come help him get home and protect him. He buries himself underground, waiting for Martyn and Jimmy to come back for him. No one comes, though, leaving him to wait. He's completely alone for the night, terrified to go out in case a mob hurts him and kills him again.

Mumbo's rightfully upset at them, commenting how the "aha" is traumatic to him now and how he can't do it due to not having a spyglass anymore. Meeting up with Grian, Mumbo makes a jab at himself about burning and dying, clearly still upset.

Then he dies again at the hands of, again, lava, but this time it was because Scar poured it on him. His friend from another world, killing him just like that, not really caring. He respawns, but he stays burning. Mumbo tries to jump into the water, trying to distinguish the weirdly non damage taking flames, but they don't disappear no matter what he does. The others don't comment on it, as if they can't see it. He's still burning. It's still warm.

and THEN THE GHAST BRIDGE?? INCIDENT HAPPENS??? Mumbo only heard talks about red names and how they can't team with non reds, only seeing Joel act that way. He's never experienced this. So it's incredibly distressing when he watches his best friend die in front of him, going down to red. He leaves a sign at the bottom, saving Grian's stuff and pleading for him not to hurt him, because hey! I saved your stuff! I'm your pal!

The whole conversation makes me sick, because Grian clearly isn't fully trying to kill Mumbo off. He wants to be friends with him, of course, but he can't kill him. Grian resorts to making pathetic attempts to drop him, but of course it doesn't work. He backs off the moment Mumbo tells him that he will join him if he kills him fair and square. Mumbo wants to join him, he wants to stay friends, but only if Grian does it fairly. Grian doesn't. He can't.

I'm skipping through everything to when Mumbo turns red because MUMBO ON HIS RED LIFE IS CONSTANTLY ON MY MIND BECAUSE OH MY GOD. This man is not used to this amount of bloodthirst. He's a killer, of course he is. His middle name is Killsalot god damn it! But he's not used to it being this much. He immediately goes insane, not hesitating to hurt, to explode, to push the limits. Seeing how Ren and BigB were scared of him if he even went NEAR them with something explosive, it filled him with power. "I like having this power!" he says, absolutely ecstatic of how he can do what he wants.

All this power comes with a cost, of course. Mumbo coming back to the place he called home, meeting face to face with Grian and Impulse. He shouldn't be here. They tell him that in the face. Mumbo tries to protest, to talk about about how he somewhat already was exiled already, but his voice gets quiet as the realisations hit him. He cant come home. Grian exiles him right in front of him, telling him that he should leave. He does, but not without doing what red names were meant to do. Destroy. Scare.

Back on the ghast bridge, Impulse and Grian are there. Mumbo doesn't hesitate to push Impulse off, laughing. Grian's upset, yelling at him while Mumbk tries to explain himself. Mumbk tries to do Grian's old tricks of breaking the floor beneath him, but he can't. Grian can now, though, not afraid to protect himself as he starts scaring Mumbo. All Mumbo fan do in turn is to apologise repeatedly, saying "sorry" over and over as if he didn't mean to do ehat he did, running away.

He keeps burning the flame. He keeps making the flame larger and larger and larger until its too much, until he burns himself down to ashes. He flies too close to the sun as he watches Jimmy die in front of him, realisations crashing over him after hitting his best friend of what he's done now, running away before turning back, hoping that he didn't follow. Grian did, though. He always does.

It ends with Mumbo getting stabbed in the chest as he feels himself dying. Not dying in the way that is on Hermitcraft, the way that it is back home. No. He's dying.

Mumbo has a constant theme with burning in LastLife. His first deaths relating to burning in lava, coming back permanently burning due to a glitch after his second one, his third happening right after exploding an end crystal right in front of him, his love for end crystals in the first place...

I like to associate him with a burning candle flame that just got too big, slowly burning himself down until nothing but a puddle of what once was remained.

#i didnt even touch on Ahasbands #there were some special moments in Mumbo's pov that make me sick #idk if any of this makes sense he just means a lot to me #ANOTHER association is Icarus but it isnt that big #He flew too close to the sun (Grian) and burned down because of it #LL!Mumbo Jumbo my burning star #also fun fact all of his player caused deaths were done by hermits #Scar took his second life #Etho took his third #and Grian took his final one #fun! #and all his deaths were somewhat witnessed by either Martyn or Grian or both #who are the two closest people to him in this season #and who are very strongly associated with the Watchers #cactuu talks

Dreams that rest behind your watercolor eyes (Sanuso Fic)

Summary:

Sanji runs one of his nails through the paper and stares intensely at it. He shrugs his shoulders, sighing at the sight. “Nothing. It’s just-” When his eyes meet Usopp’s, the sniper wonders what kissing the hands he takes care of so meticulously would feel like. Random thought, yes, but he wants to try it anyway. “You see it too. The All Blue, I mean. I guess that I’m not so crazy after all, huh?” Sanji smiles, a manta ray they caught a few days ago moving behind his silhouette, and some other sea creatures dancing along to Sanji’s heartbeat. Usopp sees it, then. He understands. It isn’t quite understanding, though. Understanding isn’t the word he’s looking for. But he sees it. - Usopp has never understood what Sanji's dream truly means until now.

This fanfic came to me in a vision when I saw @m0thcl0wn's gorgeous fanart of Sanji. My hand kind of slipped because this wasn't exactly what I was going for and I really, really wanted to make it a short thing... But I don't regret any of it! I loved how it turned out, and I hope you all like it too <3

The fanart btw:

#i wrote this quickly today btw if it doesn't make any sense just vibe and ignore it #just feel the vibe feel the energy #i have no idea of what i wrote if i'm being honest with all of you #this is just vibes this is just these two being extremely gay for each other #kind of character analysis for sanji and usopp??? idk #there are no spoilers btw #i got too poetic and flew too close to the sun or something bc i genuinely don't think anything of what i wrote makes any sense #one piece #black leg sanji #usopp #sanuso #one piece fanfiction #sanuso fanfic #usosan

If last twilight falls off on the last few episodes it will be worse than the fall of the roman empire

Went to church (neither affectionate nor derogatory but a secret third thing, complicated) and the priest’s homily got me thinking about how Christian teachings about sin and guilt are perfectly primed to keep the abused stuck where they are and I uhhh

After having to carry one around for like 15 school years, why is it that I don't have a pencil compass?

#I'm icarus i flew too close to the sun thinking i could do crafts without a compass #its a lie i need one #well not need because I do not have the energy to go out buy one or the patience to not do crafts until i can acquire one #my point being im an idiot and very tired of myself #goodnight

making original characters is so addicting

#riley.txt #not even ones that are super important to the story just little guys i can make up for any reason #i love giving them little backstories that i will probably never go into detail about in the text #just some fun for me and my own notes! #the problem now is that i flew too close to the sun and now i have a bunch of OCs that are actually crucial to the plot #so now i have to make them all fully fleshed out characters with distinct personalities #i’m finding it infinitely easier for the girls than for the boys

still thawing this bun even though my chicken veggie burger only has a 5% chance of coming out of the oven bun-able

#flew too close to the sun :/ #i think the steam from the carrots and cabbage bits is like. blasting it apart. also i think a bad ratio of vegetable to meat. also i didnt #put any egg in because i wanted to test the flavor with one patty and i didnt want an entire egg in there. ah well. #quite frankly if this thing comes out of the oven whole it will be like jesus coming out of his jesus cave
