Concept sketch --> Final piece

When drawing I like to use colours almost immediately to map down where everything is, get an idea not only of the shapes but the values/colours too. That way they can all work in harmony at the end as you tweak what you want! 

I recommend trying this out!

#my art #art tips #art meme #YEAH BABY #as you can see #I can't draw pretty faces straight away #need a few tries #some people can just draw a really gorgeous face right away!! #hope that'll be me someday!

See More Seymour's Week Day One: Side, Minor, One-Off Character Day

Yayyy!! @seemoreseymoursbay week is finally here, and I'm so happy!! Okay, for Day One, there were a lot of characters I could've chosen. But I finally decided to go for a huge deep cut and drew Hogarth Haber (Henry Haber's younger brother) who's in Louise's grade, I think, but we rarely see. And he's also rarely mentioned.

For those who can't even remember who Henry is, he's a boy who was in Tina's debate team, and they briefly dated, until Tina realized she didn't actually have feelings for him. And then he ended up dating Susmita, and the two of them are adorable together.

[ID]: Digital fanart of Hogarth Haber from Bob's Burgers. It is a full-body piece, and it can be seen that Hogarth is a young boy with relatively dark skin and curly, dark brown hair and eyes. He is also wearing black glasses and teal overalls, along with white, knee-high socks and yellow sneakers, which are pointing at each other. He is standing on his tip-toes and his hands are clasped together. He is wearing a small, delicate smile on his face. Simple shading can be seen in the art as well, along with thick, colored, sketchy lineart.

#bobs burgers #seemoreseymoursweek #hogarth haber #i loved drawing him he's actually such a cutie #i wonder if we'll get more lore on him eventually #he's barely mentioned or seen but i hope that'll change someday #i decided to go for a super sketchy style with super simple lineart which was very fun because it helped me #not be as much of a perfectionist about my art as i usually am

Bit pricey but i think american duchess has some boots that go up to like 19-20 inch calf circumference?

oh yeah i've seen their bicycle boots around a lot! the fact that it was leather + textile on the upper made me hesitate though, i'm still holding out for just leather... but it's been in the back of my mind

#sovo answers #another thing that makes me hesitate is that they claim to have a calf range of 14-20... in a *single boot* #of course this means that the closer you get to 20 the more those boots will visibly not fit you correctly #i recently tried a pair of boots that are of a similar lace-up + belt on top design that advertised a large calf range #and it looks. so ugly if you're at the max end of the range. it looks like you're bursting out of the shoe #& i was like. would i really wanna live like this... with expensive boots that'll remind me of how poorly they fit every time i lace them.. #it'd do the same mental damage as buying a dress 2 sizes too small in the hopes that i'd make myself fit someday

happy pride month! <3

#I'm too chicken to come out on Instagram since my aunt follows me there and I'm still closeted to my extended family </3 #but yeah happy pride!! #still figuring out my gender and sexuality tbh i think it's probably something that'll take time #but for right now i think pan and nonbinary fit me pretty well 🥰 #it'll be fun to look back on this and see if I've changed how i identify haha #even though i feel sorta old im still pretty new to accepting myself as queer #so I haven't had a lot of time to try things out #and I'm really shy so dating and expressing my gender are scary for me >.< #but here's to hoping i gain the reassurance and courage to be out and more confident someday :') #personal

2!

thank youuuu :)

i already did number 2 the last time i did it (you can find it here), so i'll do number 3 for you!

Welcome to Sall, capital and largest city of the United Tribes of Amall, land of the Angels and Demons! Located in the northeastern half of the country, in the edge of the Enchanted Desert and very close to the first slopes of the Burned Mountains, it is one of the oldest (arguably the oldest) cities in Magiyai, and was originally built by a freshwater lake that was eventually dried up; modern Sall was built in the lake basin. Just as in the rest of Amall, mists are a frequent ocurrence, and here is where they are stronger and more frequent out of the whole country, being almost a year-round phenomenon. This makes Sall a pretty interestingly looking city, as its buildings are all built above the mists, being very tall and with thousands of bridges and platforms that connect the different quarters and districts of the huge city, built vertically instead of horizontally.

It has almost 37 million inhabitants within its metropolitan area (between Tokyo and Delhi), most of them hailing from the various Angelic tribes, although there's also a growing community of Demons in the lower part of the city, under the mists. Various races from all over the Duvegh Desert region (Peltians and Genies) also live in the city, as well as some other races from nearby areas. Amallese is the main language of the city, and Peltian is also widely used as a lingua franca - the Magic Tongue is barely used.

Sall is the head of Amall, and as such it is full of government offices including the Hall of the Tribes, where the leaders of the tribes regularly meet to discuss stately affairs. The city itself is independent from the rest of the tribes, and is ruled by the Silver Throne, who oversees the Hall of the Tribes and takes part in it; currently this position is held by Arhesiel Lligni.

Even though Monoligism is the official religion of Amall and is widely practiced by the Angels in the city, being the Great Church of Liget in the district of Llejichi the most sacred place in Sall; there is a great influx of Duveghism mostly brought by Peltan, Genie, and Demon immigrants, and hundreds of shrines have been built in the city. This is a point of social conflict, as the majority Monoligist population refuse to accept Duveghism and thus the latter suffer great discrimination. On top of this, Demons in Sall are more harshly treated than anywhere else in Amall, because Demons rarely venture outside of the Burned Mountains, but in the city they are forced to live alongside prejudiced and bigot Angels. This produces a lot of strife in the city, and elevates crime and unsafety levels by a lot.

However, the unique makeup of the city and its particular atmosphere, with thousands of buzzling bazaars and countless libraries and other cultural spaces, makes Sall one of the most sought after and popular cities in the world!

Send me a number (1-104) and I'll assign you a city from my fantasy world (Magiyai) to live in

#magiyai #ask #sall my beloved <33333 #i am so glad i'm making these again god i had so much fun making this #also sall is literally the most important city that'll appear in my book so this was great for worldbuilding #like it's so important for the plot lol my characters will spend a lot of time here #btw if you're having trouble picturing it #think of like the hanging houses of cuenca but millions of them and surrounded by mists #and with like bridges between blocks of them and sometimes platforms that act as squares #and sometimes buildings coming out of those platforms or even other buildings #that kind of stuff #also i was thinking that if someday i get into d&d i can use my fantasy world as the setting for campaigns :) #i've always wanted to but it intimidates me so much lol #i did like a semi-d&d campaign for my friend's 18th birthday but i got so scared and confused by the dm guidebook like it's a lot™️ #anyways anon hope you enjoy this!!!!!!!

Sad pathetic rambling

#i used to be a swifty. 17yo looooved her but... #17yo was hopeful she'd get to experience all the things she sang about someday. you know. being in love and all that stuff #'maybe in college' 16yo me thought #but guess what #9 years have passed and none of that has happened yet. 25yo has never been un love yet #you know how humiliating that is sometimes? #these last few years I've seen so many people talking about how x song is for them because is just like what they went through and I'm #'must be nice' #I just played it out of curiosity and as soon as I heard Mine... *emotional damage* #16yo me who was alone in knowing his father had a double life watching that video thinking 'I'll definitely find someone that'll make me #feel like that' goddammit why did I played it I don't need that trauma to ignite again #specially not now that my therapist has forgotten about me #random ramblings

...

honestly lmao @ me for banging around my stupid little plans for the future like some kid in a sandbox mashing stuffed animals together while the playground clears and the clouds roll in. like the state I tried for my entire adult life to build a home in wasn't going to go balls to the wall to make people like my wife, and the medical treatments necessary for people like my wife, illegal.

and even if a miracle occurs and this shit doesn't get passed this session, all that means is we have 2 years max to prepare to get the fuck out of dodge when it does, because this fucking war on trans people led by our extensive who's who roster of deranged sadists in state politics has been accelerating exponentially here for years and it's not going to just evaporate if we make it to the good side of sine die unscathed this time around.

If they ever invent time travel I'm going back to April 2016, sitting past me down, and telling them to pack it the fuck up ASAP and get it going while the getting's less abjectly terrible.

#silly dyke! futures are for cishets! #quijotescx rants #sure am glad the state govt has its priorities! whole state's had the check engine light on for 25yrs but we gotta bash them queers amirite #that'll fix the roads natural disasters poverty gun violence etc etc etc. jk it won't but it will suck all the air out of the room #I still do not believe systemic wrongs can be treated by uhaul. I'm also not sticking around if my wife can't get HRT here anymore. #and I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here someday burns down #and i hope the rising black smoke carries me far away and I never come back to this town again. in my life. #etc etc

This will come off strange and it's okay if you don't reply but somehow you painfully remind me of someone I held close to my heart, who I loved dearly and frankly I don't think I ever stopped loving them... it's both beautiful and sad in a way...but yeah maybe i needed to get this off my chest...maybe i'm just speaking into existence hoping that person is alright ♡

if you do reply thank you for listening, hope everything is okay with you. ♡

it took me a moment to figure out how to respond to this i'm hoping it's okay for me to do so because from what it sounds like, it seems you're alright with a response. first of all, i'm sorry for your loss, about whatever may have happened for you to part with the one you loved (or still love) and I know it's.. tough. I'm not the right address to give advice or words of encouragement but i've been there. I know heartache sucks. plain and simple. it's not strange and i'm glad you're sharing this! I only apologize for reminding you of that person, even if that's out of my control. I know the feeling of looking around and seeing stuff or people that remind you of someone you'd rather move on from, but simply can't.

I'm seriously wishing you the best and this is a safe place for you to "speak into existence" if it somehow soothes your heart. i'm cheering for your heart to find peace someday. thank you for sharing this and i am truly wishing you the best! virtually offering to hug you. \o/

#you are free to message me again if you need to get stuff off your chest #that was kinda heartbreaking to read i'm truly sorry. #i hope i don't remind you too much of them in a negative aspect #but i'm assuming from your choice of words that's not the case so #take care of yourself please? #you're not alone there and i can't tell you it gets better someday #because some days the loss of that person will hit you like bricks #but there will be days that will be just. easier on the heart. #at least i am hoping that'll be the case for you #again. this is a safe space for you to let it out. #and thank you.. this makes me feel less alone in my situation. #but i'm truly wishing the best for you.

SSR Epel Felmier - Club Wear Voice Lines

When Summoned: If ya think you can stop my shot, then try stoppin' it!

Summon Line: Once we're out on the field, seniority don't mean a thing! I'm gonna fight for a starting spot on the team!

Groooovy!!: Haah, haah... Don't care how hard it gets, I ain't ever givin' up. We'll definitely win!

Home: Better not underestimate me.

Home Idle 1: Back when I first joined the club, no one took me seriously, but ever since I blocked a shot with my face during one of our matches, I think everyone sees me in a different light.

Home Idle 2: I think I'll make some Harveston honeyed apples for our next match. That'll definitely be tastier than lemons!

Home Idle 3: Even after a rough day of practicin', all us first years hafta put away all the equipment... Maaan, I wish I wasn't a freshman.

Home Idle - Login: I used to always hope to play Magical Shift someday, ya know. It's just so awesome to be able to clench victory together alongside the team!

Home Idle - Groovy: I want to practice shooting the disc, but it's such a pain having to go grab it after each throw... Oh man, if only there was someone who could lend me a hand～

Home Tap 1: Leona-san's advice is always so spot on! Just wish he'd show up to practice more to see how I'm working on everything.

Home Tap 2: Ruggie-san's passes usually come out of nowhere, which keeps us on our toes. I've run into the disc a buncha times during practice 'cause of that.

Home Tap 3: I always wear goggles when flying to keep the wind and dust clouds outta my eyes. Just wearin' it gets me pumped up. I look so cool with these on!

Home Tap 4: Back home, I'd help pick the apples by flyin' up on a broom. Maybe all that weaving through the tree branches is comin' in handy for Magical Shift.

Home Tap 5: Eh? I have a sunburn!? Oh no, and Vil-san was telling me I need to be careful while practicing outdoors...!

Home Tap - Groovy: I gotta learn to stay calm even if I get hit with the worst foul during a game. Can you smack talk me a little so I can practice?

Duo: [EPEL]: I got a plan in mind, Ruggie-san! [RUGGIE]: Countin' on ya, Epel-kun!

...Noodling around with some tests of lighting profiles in Daz Studio, while background-considering the gonna-happen-soon business of recovering the Tale of the Five trilogy for both Ebooks Direct and Amazon. ...This project's been hanging fire for a while, but there's no point in putting it off any longer, even though it'll be a lot of work. Cover styles have changed a lot in the last few years, so it's time these had covers that'll reflect that.

What this means for me is producing four sets of covers, all in different styles, so I can do A/B testing on them at the 'Zon. (Meaning that for four different week-long periods, you publish the books in each of the separate formats and see which two get the best results in terms of sales. Then you give each of the two winners another two-week period and see how those results behave.)

The guide to the various currently-popular cover styles I've been using is this one. (Which isn't a bad one at all; but since the people publishing this page want you to hire them for this kind of work, that's sort of to be expected). Numbers 1, 4 and 9 on their list are the ones that appeal to me or are appropriate. The others either strike me as bad choices for these books, or just annoy me. (#2 in particular. I've seen it well executed, but I've started getting kind of sick of seeing it.)

Meanwhile, for your amusement, here are my current sketches... just to disabuse you of any ideas that they look in any way professional at this point. :) Two versions of the minimalist/object oriented style, and one each of the 3D modeling and the double exposure/burnthrough variant. We'll see what comes out the other end of the process in a month or so. (In fact I may put up a poll here with one book in four versions, and see what the local readership thinks.)

...Meanwhile as regards the topmost image (currently titled "This Is Not A Good Time"): I live in hope that someday I'll get Héalhra's damn mane under control. Daz's dForce utility is very good at handling some material textures and making them respond more like gravity had some actual effect on them. But in this case it's been like fighting ineffectively with a bad perm. (eyeroll) (Also, who here was it that put a pink Hello Kitty bow on him last time I posted an image of him fluffed up like this? It left me giggling for days and now I can't find it...) :)

hi! would you write rooster giving his shy girl cuddles when she's on her period and feeling lonely? thank you <333

anon how did you know this is me rn? so, for you (but also me): you get your period for the first time since you've started seeing rooster and he is just like, the best ever | fluff, fem!reader, 1.4k

The dull ache in your abdomen wakes you earlier than you'd like for a Saturday. You blindly reach for your phone and check the time and then the date -- ugh. Yeah, it's about time for your period.

Mercifully you have not bled on your sheets so you sort yourself out and change from comfy pjs to comfy clothes and resign yourself to a lonely day on the couch. The first few days are always the hardest on you -- you feel sluggish and bloated and tend not to do anything if you can help it.

But lately, your life has taken on a kind of shine you're still getting used to. The biggest thing is the guy you've been seeing: Bradley. It's been just shy of a month and you see him every few days. You've met his aviator friends and he's stayed over at your place once, you at his a few times. He's funny and kind and so handsome and you hope that it changes from "seeing each other" to something more official soon.

That's what stops you from texting him. Maybe if he was officially your boyfriend you'd ask him to pick up some stuff and come over, but you feel shy about doing it for some reason. So you wrap yourself in the sweatshirt he left at your place and settle on the couch to watch something that'll probably make you cry.

Then your phone chirps.

rooster: are you busy today? do you want to walk the boardwalk? i'll buy ice cream : )

Something in your chest starts to ache. You'd mentioned wanting to take advantage of the weather and try the new ice cream shop that opened up by the water.

you: not feeling great today : ( rain check?

Your screen changes a second later, Bradley's contact photo taking over as he calls you. It's a selfie he took on your phone when you were in the bathroom. Oh, you think. Why is he calling you?

"Hi," you say. It sounds a little pathetic.

"Hey," he replies. You imagine him at his place, maybe fresh from his morning run, brows drawn based on the concern in his voice. "Are you okay?"

He's calling because you said you were sick? You don't really know what to do with that. "Yeah, just woke up feeling off. I'm sorry about not going to the boardwalk today."

He hums down the line. "Don't apologize, silly," he says. "Do you need anything? I can get anything you want from the store and bring it over. Do you have lemons? My mom swore by lemon tea when she wasn't feeling great --"

Bradley goes on about the things he could get you at the pharmacy and you feel like laughing and crying at the same time. He's known you for less than a month and he's calling to see if you're alright. God, you think. I could love him someday.

Maybe that's why you just blurt it out, embarrassment tingling in your cheeks. "Bradley," you say, and he stops talking. "I'm not like, sick sick. I just...have my period and feel blah."

Something rustles like he's shifting the phone from one ear to the other. "Oh, sweetheart," he says. He's never called you that before. Your name, yes, and shortened versions of it, yes, but a pet name? Not really. You love it. "I can still buy you stuff for that. You might have to send me pictures of the brands you use, though, because there are so damn many in the aisle."

You will not cry. That would be very cliche of you, and frankly, this is what every girl deserves. But damn if your heart doesn't feel like it's bursting.

"You don't need to buy me anything," you say, softly. You will your shyness away. "But uh, if you don't mind sitting on the couch with a kind of grumpy girl watching nature documentaries all day, you could come over?"

"I absolutely do not mind doing that," he says and you feel like you can hear his smile. "I'll be over in an hour?"

It feels big, somehow, him coming over because you're on your period and feel like shit. Thus far you've spent time together doing things -- going to the Hard Deck or out to eat and, a few times so far, learning each other in bed. You haven't really had a lazy day.

So when he knocks, you slide in your socks to the door maybe a little too fast for the ache you feel all over. You forget that you're in ratty shorts and his sweatshirt until you open the door and he looks you up and down.

"Hi," he says. "Cute." You tug on the sleeves and scrunch up your nose, moving aside to let him in. It's then that you notice he's carrying a bag from the pharmacy.

"Bradley, I said you didn't have to buy anything." He toes off his shoes and shoots you an incredulous look.

"Well, don't get too excited," he says. "I didn't know what flavor of stuff you like so I went kind of basic. I can go get more if you hate all of it."

He sets the bag on your counter and starts to unpack it. You watch him as he does -- damp hair like he showered before he came, workout shorts and a t-shirt that looks oh-so-soft. The scars on his face stand out with his recent tan and you find one you haven't noticed before on his neck. It's fun, the newness of what you have. You're still learning him.

The counter is now full of various ice creams and sweet snacks, as well as some pain medication and...a lemon. "What is your favorite flavor, anyway?" he says, packing the cartons into your freezer.

You tell him and he taps his temple like he's storing it. "I'll remember next time."

Next time.

"Bradley," you mutter. He hears you, turning his head and shutting the freezer. "Thank you for coming over and bringing this stuff."

His eyes go soft and smiles your favorite Bradley smile so far -- it's soft, tender, pleased. "Of course," he says, reaching for you. You take a step and meet him halfway. One big hand tangles with yours and the other cups your jaw, thumb moving slowly over the skin of your cheek. "Thanks for letting me," he adds. He knows that you get shy, that you're still getting to know the private parts of each other.

He kisses you softly and you sigh into his mouth until a wave of cramps hits and you wince. Bradley pulls away with concern on his face until he puts it together. "Sorry," you say. He hushes you.

"Let me make you some of that lemon tea and then we can sit on the couch? I seem to remember you mentioning nature documentaries?" He taps your chin with a knuckle when you nod.

"I like the sound of that," you say.

You try to stay upright as you wait, you really do. But the cramps are coming in waves and you're tired, so you end up horizontal on the couch by the time Bradley brings over the mug.

"Oh," he says, frowning. "Do you want some meds?"

You shake your head. You already took some before he arrived. He puts the mug on your table and cracks his knuckles. The movement gives you an idea.

"Bradley," you say. "I have an idea." He sits on the edge of the couch and puts his hand on your knee.

"Anything."

"Your hands..." you swallow. The shyness creeps up your throat but you persevere. "If you put them here --" you pat your abdomen -- "they'd be like a heating pad."

"Say no more," he says. "Scoot." Bradley actually does all the arranging, settling himself between you and the back of the couch. Your legs tangle and he hooks his chin over your shoulder. "Here?" he asks, putting his hand over the waistband of your shorts.

"Yeah, almost." You can already feel the heat radiating from him and you move his palm so it's on your bare skin under your top, a few fingers sneaking under the waistband of your shorts. It should be sexy, honestly, and while it is intimate, more than anything it's comfortable. "Perfect," you sigh. It really is. He really is.

Bradley relaxes behind you and presses a kiss to your shoulder. "Good," he says. "Now let's watch some badass shit about monkeys or something."

thank you for reading <3 reblog, send feedback, masterlist here!

DRAWTOBER #6 - Where the Heart Is by @emileesaurus

It had been such a simple, romantic request. "I would like to visit the Auvergne with you someday," Louis had told him, in that heartbreakingly hopeful way he always suggested that they do something together. 1985. Lestat takes Louis to visit what remains of the Chateau de Lioncourt.

book!Loustat??? in 2023??? that's right folks! Lestat takes Louis to Auvergne to explore his old family home, and the soft angst combined with gentle sweet Loustat makes for a beautiful, haunting, but ultimately healing atmosphere. it has some gorgeous vulnerable Lestat, who is able to, for once, be honest and open with Louis. take a look at this if, like me, you are still a happy-ending-post-trilogy-Loustat truther ✊ a lovely little read that'll hit you right in the kokoro in all the best ways

[i-heart-hxh]

Do you think togashi Will sink killugon in the future by denying the romantic reading of their relationship?

Hi anon! I strongly don't think that'll ever happen. I truly believe including the romantic subtext between them is intentional on Togashi's part, and I want to be clear I'm not saying that just as a shipper, but as someone who has spent years deeply analyzing the series as a whole, as well as Togashi's influences and interests. The deeper I look into it, the more I'm certain he includes all the things he includes with full intention.

Again, I post this because everyone deserves to see it:

Togashi wanted to create works with queer characters before HxH even existed, and he was deeply invested in this concept! It's possible pieces of HxH even came out of this original idea he had--he did say he might publish it someday in "a different form," so it's not an impossibility.

I think likely one of two things will happen with Gon and Killua's relationship in the future of the manga:

Togashi will bring them back and reunite them, and we'll (at least eventually) get some sort of ending for them that may not be 100% undeniably canonically romantic, but likely continues with the same kind of romantic subtext and ambiguity that's been present all along. (Think something like: They decide to travel together again and promise to stay together without it actually saying if they mean it in a romantic way or not, but there might be hints or wording that imply it is intended in that way, with Togashi trusting those of us who see it that way will understand.) Or maybe we hit the jackpot and he does make it explicitly canon. I don't think that's super likely, but if anyone could get away with it, it would be Togashi, for a whole list of reasons I won't get into on this post.

Sadly he won't reach that point in the manga due to his health and how much of the series remains, but he won't say either way what he intends their relationship to mean, and we're free to continue to interpret it how we want.

There are other possibilities of course, but I think those are the most likely outcomes. I do think he fully intends to reunite Gon and Killua and I've written about this in-depth (whether the series actually reaches that point or not). I don't think he intends to "sink the ship" ever because he's the one giving us an uncountable number of reasons to believe in the ship in the first place... And I do think he's doing it out of his own personal interest, not just for marketing reasons or whatever like we see in some other shounen series. It's deeply embedded in the series and the number of things pointing in this direction is just so, so many.

I don't think there's any reason to be pessimistic about Gon and Killua's future, aside from the factor of Togashi's health. However, I try to take the attitude that, in the case that it doesn't ever get finished (and assuming Togashi doesn't have some sort of back up plan, and I suspect he might), we get to choose ourselves how it ends. I deeply hope we get a canon reunion between them someday, the thought of this happening is something that keeps me going in life, but if we do have to continue to imagine it ourselves, it certainly could be worse.

Here For You Now

 It took Ezra a moment to figure out why he'd fallen asleep on the floor, less than a foot away from his bed. He would've totally assumed that he'd fallen off the bed in his sleep again (it was less than a foot's drop; he'd slept through it before,) but the pile of blankets underneath him told him this was definitely intentional. He couldn't quite piece together why he would've done something like this though— until he heard a murmured whisper coming from the bed, a voice he almost thought he was just imagining again, until he remembered that yesterday was the day he'd spent over a decade waiting for.

 Sabine had found him.

 And, since his trailer offered little in the way of comfort, he'd let Sabine take the bed and offered to sleep on the floor instead. Good hospitality, he'd called it, something he'd learned well from the Noti, and also a way to say "thank you" for coming all this way just to bring him home. (And in actuality, he'd never make his favorite person in this [and any] galaxy sleep on the floor— and also he knew he'd irreversibly stumble over his words if he suggested they try to share the bed.)

 But despite being on the floor and definitely sore from it, it was one of the best wakeups he'd had in years— certainly the one that ushered in the most hope along with it. 

Though he'd never lost faith in Sabine, hope had been in short supply the past year or so— that is, until yesterday, when the Noti had told him that they found a girl ("your girl," their language put it, and he was too ecstatic to disagree) and she'd come to the camp looking for him. He'd never thought she'd looked more beautiful than she did when she saw him, and gave him a smile that conveyed the same genuine joy and total disbelief he was feeling.

 And now he woke up knowing she was here, and it wasn't another stupid dream about her return: she was on Perida, actually with him, quietly chanting something in Mando'a.

 "Ni su'cuyi gar kyr'adyc, ni partayli, gar darasuum."

 Ezra wasn't sure what she was mumbling about, but it felt almost like some kind of meditation, or a prayer. His interest was piqued when he heard the next two words, and he looked up to see her sitting cross legged with her eyes closed.

 "Kanan Jarrus. Ursa Wren. Alrich Wren. Tristan Wren. Ahsoka Tano. Ni su'cuyi gar kyr'adyc, ni partayli, gar darasuum."

 Sabine sighed, and there was a moment of silence.

 "What's that?" Ezra asked, once he was sure she'd finished.

 "Ah-wha?" Sabine started, apparently not having known Ezra was even awake "it's nothing. Just an old Mandalorian tradition. I didn't mean to wake you up. Did you sleep alright?"

 "What kind of old Mandalorian tradition?" Ezra asked, completely disregarding her attempts to divert the conversation.

 "Nothing," Sabine shook her head.

 "Didn't seem like nothing to you."

 "Well, it's nothing that matters to you," Sabine said.

 "Everything you…" Ezra stopped mid-sentence, knowing that if he said "everything you say maters to me," she might start to think he had feelings for her— which he did, but he was pretty sure she still didn't feel the same way, and he didn't want to run the risk of scaring off his only ride back home. So, he switched trains of thought.

 "You mentioned Kanan," Ezra shook his head.

 Sabine looked at him, and in her eyes he saw the softness and pain she was trying all too well to hide. He smiled slightly, nodded slightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, tried to remind her with merely a look that her secrets were safe with him.

 Sabine sighed.

 "It's a remembrance," she offered, "'I am alive, but you are dead.'" she shook her head as she choked out the words, "'I remember you, so you are eternal.'"

 Ezra smiled a little at the sentiment, at keeping the memory of someone alive long after they're gone— but then he realized that the names of her family were included in that list.

 "You mentioned your family too," Ezra said, quietly, "Are they…?"

 Sabine nodded, "they're gone."

 "And Ahsoka?"

 "I think so," she said, the words petering out as a single breath.

 Ezra thought he saw a tear trickle down her cheek as she looked away from him. He didn't fight the urge to climb up onto the bed next to her and wrap an arm around her for comfort. He realized after he did so that he'd taken a gamble, and she was likely to be annoyed by his attempt to comfort her, so he was surprised when, instead of twisting away from him, she actually leaned closer, accepting the shoulder he gave her to cry on.

 "I'm so sorry, Sabine," Ezra whispered, with no idea what other words he could even offer.

 "There's nothing you could've done," Sabine said, "there's nothing anyone could've done."

 Ezra remembered thinking the same thing when the empire took his parents, that there was nothing anyone could've done to help him— but that didn't mean he didn't want anyone to.

 "I could've been there for you," Ezra shook his head, "I should've been there for you. Kriff, I've missed out on so much."

 Sabine lifted her head off his shoulder and looked up at him.

 "But I am here for you now," Ezra said, letting go of her and resting his hand on the bed behind her, "if you wanna talk about it at all."

 Sabine shook her head and looked away.

 "I don't wanna talk about it."

 "Alright," Ezra nodded, "is there anything I can do?"

 "Could you just sit here with me?" Sabine asked.

 "Absolutely," Ezra smiled.

 They treasured a moment's silence, before Sabine leaned a little closer, resting her head on his arm again. She glanced up at him as a smile crossed his face, and he rested his head on top of hers.

 Maybe he hadn't been there for her for the last few years. Maybe there were a lot of moments she'd needed him that he missed out on.

 But this moment? It wasn't going to be one of them— he was here for her now, and that's what mattered.

 And he wasn't going to stop being there for her ever again.

[gearbox-dollhouse]

When I feel particularly stressed about whether I'm actually right for being radqueer, or if I'm actually a horrible person, I like to think about what a radqueer future would look like.

Specifically, I like to imagine being interviewed three, four decades from now, in a world where being radqueer is the norm, about what it was like growing up in a world where it wasn't. Imagine the shocked exclamations from the interviewer and the audience as I talk about how hostile people were to us. How they tried to push us out, get rid of us.

The future changes quick. Even today, being radqueer is becoming more accepted. People are going out into the world, offline, and sharing these ideas of radical acceptance.

It gives me hope, thinking of that future. Even if the interview is probably just a fantasy, thinking of a future where something like that could happen gives me hope. Someday, that'll be reality. That's our future.

I can't wait to see it.

OOH OKAY TYSM!!

LIKE THEY DIDN'T TOLD AKITO BECAUSE SHE KNEW HE WOULD GO NUTS THEN SOMEDAY SHE AND RUI WAS IN HER ROOM, THEY WERE ABOUT TO KISS THEN AKITO BURSTED IN TO ASK HER SOMETHINGS PLACE? WHAT WOULD HIS REACTION BE?

SORRY IF IT MAKE NO SENSE <3

Yes! Of course! And don't worry, it does make sense, at least for me! But okey, cutting on rambling, hope you like it! ^^

Rui with Akito's twin!fem!reader

TagList: @bleachtheidiot @yulikesminori @kuzui5201314 @indi-has-fallen

You invited your boyfriend to your place since you knew that your twin was out, on a live show with his group. You didn't wanted two of them to meet because your brother disliked Rui, even when he didn't knew about your relationship with him.

You had classic affectionate day with your boyfriend. You two just cuddled and gave each other kisses here and there, exchanged sweet words, all of that while the movie played in background.

He was almost touching your lips for another kiss when the door from your room opened widely and both of you jumped in surprise.

"Y/N, Ena is mad again. Did you took her-"

Akito stopped the moment he saw Rui hugging you with small blush and flustered smile. You could see that your brother was holding himself and your boyfriend certainly wasn't making it easy on him...

"What is he doing here?"

"Yeah about that... maybe we should go to another room...?"

"I don't think we have to. Just tell me straight."

"Rui and I are together..."

You could see your brother biting his tongue to not say something that'll upset you. Rui feeling the situation, wasn't sure what to do hut he just decided to speak up and hope he won't regret it later.

"Hey Akito, I promise to treat her well, don't worry~"

"You better do. I swear I see her anywhere near your stupid inventions, I won't hesitate to repay you."

"Akito... are you really caring for me right now?"

This seemed to make him realize and Akito immidietly turned around.

"N-No... I... I gotta calm down Ena. Don't you dare do something against her will."

"It won't happen~"

After your brother left, Rui gave you playful expression, only telling you how much he's gonna enjoy teasing your brother later. You almost felt sorry for him...
