Title: close your eyes and count to one, I will be there
Summary: When Lizzie dies, it's not even her fault. She tries to remember--how many times had it been her fault? How many could be chalked up to accident? To failed attempts to succeed? To apologies she accepted--because why wouldn't she? It was a game, right? It was all just a game. She doesn't still taste the hum-buzz of static and void on her tongue.
When Lizzie dies, she wakes up alone, at home, like she had so many times before. She shuts her eyes and tries to count the seconds between inhale and exhale, hoping that when she opens them, there might be a warm body lying next to her. But there is no such thing. Lizzie is alone again.

annoying thing about your post getting out of the mutual&adjacents bubble is that ppl will start adding caveats to statements you've made and at that point they could have made their own goddamn post couldn't them cowboys?

the thing about sylvain vs zelos, who was clearly the inspiration for his character, and the way their respective fandoms interpret each other truly doesnt Actually come down to that tales of fans are like smarter with media analysis because i have truly met some rocks for brains tales of fans but its that the game Does Not let you not look at it and hammers it in over and over the point of zelos and the Trick that zelos has been playing
the difference between scenes like zelos telling about his memory in the snow with his mother vs sylvain talking about being thrown down the well and nobody coming looking for him for nearly a full day should be... basically nothing, on paper. like this should be a 1 for 1 here. but unfortunately 3h lacks the bravery to explore sylvain and the seriousness of him and his many traumas, of the implications of sexual exploitation and the narratives of what this and other types of abuse can do to someone set up to believe there is one path for them in life and the ways they hurt others while hurting themselves. and also quite frankly the (possibly accidental for zelos tbf but still very much there) themes of compulsory heterosexuality (which also inherently ties into all the other stuff in a perfect little fucked up and insanely well written present with a little bow ready to absolutely obliterate you when you open it)
and its all so fucking disappointing that they dont actually go all the way committed with Any of it and then took a large majority of it to be their fucking joke and gimmick and haha funny because holy fucking shit you base a character off of ZELOS WILDER and then FALL FOR THE ZELOS TRICK? WITH YOUR OWN ZELOS EXPY??? COME ON

PSA: i keep seeing posts about staying cool in extreme heat that include advice like "gatorade is bad actually!" and "don't drink fruit juice it'll just dehydrate you!" and neither of these are true!
regarding fruit juice: there's apparently a misconception that Any Sugar At All will dehydrate you, and that's simply not true. yes, sugar will make you pee more when consumed in large amounts, but 1) the natural sugar in fruits won't do this to you 2) great news! a lot of fruit juices exist without any added sugar in them! 3) honestly even having a glass of the fruit juice with added sugar won't completely dehydrate you as long as you're also drinking water throughout the day. if its hot you deserve a cold treat of a drink!!! can't go wrong with fruit juice!!!
regarding gatorade: maybe this isn't an every day drink, but guess what: if it's 110F/40C or hotter outside, and you don't have AC, or you're moving around a lot outside of the AC, and you're sweating buckets: that's when you drink a gatorade.
gatorade exists to replenish all the electrolytes (salt) and glucose (sugar) that you sweat out. YES it is meant for athletes to drink during intensive work outs and not necessarily for people who aren't doing that kind of exercise. BUT GUESS WHAT! when you're sweating buckets because you had to walk to the bus in extreme heat, that's intensive exercise. please feel free to drink a gatorade after that! that's its intended use case!!!!
no: neither of these drinks should be a total replacement for water. but drinking a lot of water and then treating yourself to a fruit juice with lunch is a good idea!!! drinking a gatorade becuase you just had to walk for 20 minutes in the heat is a good idea!!!
Please Stop Spreading Misinformation About Drinks!!! It's fine if you drink things that aren't water!!!! Yes you should probably always be drinking water but drinking something else As Well isn't going to hurt you!!!! okay!!!! its fine!!!!!!
honestly so long as you are consistently getting Any (non-alcoholic) fluids in you, you're doing great!!!!!! okay!!!! i love you stay safe <3

For @sansebastinae and @boisinnot, my fellow saint seb truthers :)
+ the usual
Yayyyy finished a drawing! Haha only took me...2 weeks. I kept going back and forth on whether I could finish it tonight, and I really wasn't going to. But then I looked at the unfinished version on a different screen and was like oh? Not too bad actually?? So I finished it :) First of all, ofc, here is the process. Kinda weird seeing it for smth like this, it makes me feel like I'm the painter in rennaisance au, not Mark dhjfkf
Ah I was gonna draw a silly renaissance au comic to accompany this(read: lighten the mood), but it's 5 am and I've still not really drafted it well, so! I'd like to finish it at some point bcs I wanna draw more chibi comics, but when I finish smth, I can't help but immediately want to post it, so part 2 will have to wait. I'll show you the outline though so you can at least imagine 😭
^ So many renaissance and beyond paintings of Saint Sebastian are always the most horny thing ever. Like pre/early rennaisance, yeah he was naked and all that, but they were pretty chaste, and uhhhhh suffering?? Well the newer paintings are suffering, but in a different way, if you know what I mean.
So I feel like Mark's the type to be overly pedantic about it, and refuses to make borderline porn of a saint, I mean, god forbid, Seb!!! But then he just. Does anyways. Because he can't control his lust for Seb even when drawing him half dead. I just imagine him holding the paintbrush in a death grip like "must not be horny. Must not draw him sexy. Must make him chaste." And then he ends up with the one seen above. Seb is all smug about it. "Wow you'd wanna fuck me even while I'm all bloody and dying? 🥺"
Mark: "oh I'll make you bloody, alright."
But god so funny to imagine Seb doing all these different slutty poses, like arching his back as much as possible, the cloth nearly falling off at all times, etc etc. And Mark finally lands on this pose bcs he hopes the suffering will outweigh the horny. It doesn't. Also Seb is genuinely serious once he actually gets into the pose, focus mode on. And honestly that's even worse for Mark, bcs it's so much more arousing to see Seb in his element, focused. Tbf I think Seb could be drinking water, and Mark would still find some way to sexualize it. Don't look at his sketches!! They're just filled with Seb doing all kinds of random activities.
Also! Here is the painting I referenced this off of, must give credit where credit is due ofc
The Dying St. Sebastian by François Fabre
Also this isn't really relevant in the context of this drawing specifically. But I looked thru a bunch of Saint Sebastian paintings while trying to find one I could reference, and I came across this middle ages one that actually looks so much like boy king seb 😭 I guess it really is meant to be!
St Sebastian between St Roch and St Peter by Pietro Perugino
Lmao but do you see the difference between early rennaisance and later work???
