NOOO UR MAKING ME SO SAD one day he doesn’t come back and so u decide to move on and then he comes back literally YEARS later and sees u w a new man and his heart is BROKEN im so sad omfg

OMG. CRYING.

you run into him on the street, just as you did the first time.

you've married a decently wealthy man, one with enough money that you're free to pour all your time into painting and you do quite well, are able to sell them and host them in small museums and general markets during the week. you've moved, to be with your new husband, so you're no longer in your small village of drunks and thieves, and you're quite happy with the life you've built around you.

it's full of art and curiosity: your husband buys you a brand new telescope from a different country, top of the line. it's bigger than your old one and it takes you longer to figure out the dials and knobs, but when you do — the views you get are breathtaking. you paint what you find, all the shapes you discover in the constellations. very rarely is the sea your muse, these days; all those works became sad and unfinished, dark portraits of a ship far out in the distance that never sailed any closer, no many how many times you painted it.

the necklace lies at the bottom of your first jewelry box, chain broken from when you'd ripped it off and tried to throw it into a tide just as furious as you had been — but it never left your clenched fist.

it's not your painting he comes across, but someone else's star-map. for sale, at the local market, and you've stopped to enjoy the work the artist has done, chatting with them about what you've found when another customer wanders up beside you and says,

"'sea goddess', hmm," a hand reaches around you, too close for your liking, to pick up a reimagined constellation on display. "heard the woman it's named for is more beautiful than all the seven seas in the middle of a hurricane."

the artist frowns, because it's his piece, but indulges the customer anyway. "and what woman would that be?"

and your blood runs cold at the sound of your name, slowly turning to peer around you shoulder, to take in the figure that's uttered it. bigger than you remember, and darker, hair tied back in a tidier bun than usual. in his grip in his weathered hat, torn and nearly destroyed; a testament to the voyage he's had, maybe. and when he raises one hand in a soft wave, the flat of his palm is exposed, the pendant from your necklace in fading ink at its center.

kirishima is older now, as are you, with more scars along his nose and under his jaw, a jagged one across his neck that has tears stinging your eyes. but despite his edges — the smile on his face is soft, sad, and the light in his vibrant eyes hardly flickers as he takes in you and all your changes. as if he's been extinguished for quite some time, and only just now burning again.

"i never stopped lookin'," he murmurs suddenly, uncaring of the merchant as he dares to edge closer to you. his skin smells sharp and clean like aftershave, though the shadows on his face linger. "took a long time for me to find you."

and you feel like his violent sea, his crashing waves; despite the tears that track your cheeks, you remain stone-faced, trying to tide back the rage — the hurricane you want to be. "me?" you whisper, incensed. "to find me?"

his face falls and his eyes slip to the floor, ashamed, but he still tries, stepping further into you when he speaks again. "i know, didn't mean it like that. but i—" one hand gently rests on your elbow, while the other finds your own and you jump, startled and angry at how forward thinks he can be after all this time and yet — you let his rough fingers brush over yours, over the short silk gloves covering your skin. "i did search for you, i wanted to come home. i was always gonna come home—"

"don't—" you hiss, but he doesn't let you go far, following through the step you take back from him. on purpose, you think he pushes his palm into your fingers, as if wants you to feel the mark he still wears for you. "home? how dare you—"

"i know, 'm sorry," he whispers, so close that you can see the freckles on the bridge of his nose and the golden stars in his eyes and the desperation in the lines of his face. "i'm sorry, i'll always be—"

"darling?"

you pull away from him in no time, wiping a gloved hand over your cheeks before turning to face your husband who stands only feet from you, holding a new lens for your telescope. his eyes jump back and forth between you and kirishima, but you give him no longer to consider what he sees.

"yes, excuse me. let's go." you slip out of range when kirishima backs up a step, started probably, at the title and the arm your loop through your husband's. only once does he try to turn back to the figure, as still as a dead man, but you tighten your grip on him and don't look back.

#friend...you are so big brained for this... #how sad !!!! #who is our husband ??? 🤔🤔 i'm thinking...iida ?? 🤔🤔 #he's a classy man #inherited his wealth from his family #runs the family business #kirishima has had — a hell of a time LOL #poor baby 🥺🥺🥺 #he's shook !!! cant believe what he's seeing !!@ #definitely imagined this situation going a little different LOL #thank you for sending this omg you are a genius i am kissing your brain HOW SAD #✿ willow writes #✿ ask willow #✿ thoughts: kirishima #✿ theme: pirate kirishima

When trying to teach your friends cool new tricks accidentally turns into a business deal.

A small crack idea, but if lv 12 Mizora can be a patron, so can Greygold. Even adventure-accomplished Emps is flabbergasted at the 'how'. It's cool, nothing like a quick side-quest to fix that technical difficulty.

Anyway, I need Mizora to get fired from her job. I need Zariel to fire her lawyer. Figuratively. Literally. Both. Hunting her down is all good and reasonable but. How many other warlocks are under her belt that risk turning into lemures if she capooted? It's cool, team heart-of-gold can beat her at her own game.

#bg3 spoilers #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #the emperor bg3 #bg3 fanart #bg3 comic #I like to think the elfsong cook is aware of who his boss is thanks to Greygold's business transparency negotiations. #dude is thinkin 'me family's been running this kitchen for generations. Never quit because of no rat; ain't gonna quit over no squid.' #Somebody's gotta keep squid bud company while Greyg takes Us out on another hellish buffet #Emps not sure if acquiring sending stones to keep in touch with Greyg reduces or increases stress levels #Also. Secret glasses for hidden words or secret glasses because buddy wants nobody to know they gettin' OLD. you decide.

AR christmas tree!!!! 🎄 I made the ball ornaments and multicolored string lights using 3d brushes, and then hand-placed everything (including all the little white dot sparkles ghkdghdk)

#figmin xr #3d art #art #video #vr #virtual reality #ar #augmented reality #this is the business expense christmas tree #the running joke in the family now is that mark zuckerberg bought it #life is. so absurd #also everything being hand placed is slightly a lie #i did most of this via virtual tractor beam while sitting on the couch but that makes about 110% less sense to say #but you.... reading these tags right now..... now you know the truth #use this knowledge wisely *disappears into a puff of pink smoke*

I feel like my whole life is a lie.

I've only been lingering around the edges of the genshin fandom, mainly bc I haven't played it before recently, but I've been able to pick up a couple things via fandom osmosis. Now I knew one of the ragbros was adopted into the fam of the other...

BUT U MOTHERFUCKERS R TELLING ME KAEYA WAS THE ADOPTED ONE??? I feel I've been betrayed. Just from the gameplay, Diluc gives off more edgy orphan energy. What is this Iceland-Greenland switcheroo?

I am aware Diluc is technically, in fact, An Edgy Orphan now but I mean like- he's giving orphan since early childhood

#genshin #genshin impact #diluc genshin impact #kaeya genshin impact #genshin spoilers #genshin manga #ragbros #BETRAYAL I TELL YOU #ur gonna tell me the angry vigilante who runs the biggest business in the city #WAS NOT ORPHANED AT THE RIPE OLD AGE OF 6 #AND ADOPTED BY A FAMILY OF LEGACY KNIGHTS #WHO HE EVENTUALLY BECOMES BITTER TOWARDS BC THEY COULDN’T SAVE HIM/HIS FAMILY #W H A T #but alas #this is y we dont lurk in fandoms without the full picture

Papyrus shouldn't in therapy

Because he should be okay!

#Papyrus was just too busy in France to post but I'm back! #Ok OP here. I couldn't post because of my poor mental health state #and fanily issues I also got busy running a tournament and stuff so I just took a big break. I will try to post every day drom now on if #I remember to do so haha! I have ADHD so umm... Wish me luck remembering 😂 #I'm glad to see people are still supporting this! #Papyrus will come back from therapy soon! #Even Papyrus needs help 🌼 #*family (I wrote 'fanily') #therapy #papyrus in places he shouldn't be #papyrus #papyrus undertale #undertale #undertale papyrus #the great papyrus #*from. no 'drom' #excuse my poor spelling I write too fast

Timeskips can be a hit or miss, which is why I'm usually nervous when a show uses one. However, in this 12-episode story, the timeskip was incredibly satisfying. It conveys the heartwarming feeling that after all this time, they have remained a family. Although their appearance has changed, and their interactions have shifted towards playful banter, the love between them remains the same. Ultimately, the ending showed that ten years later, they are safe and content. The risks that Rei and Kazuki took to become a family for Miri paid off. They changed their lives for her and ensured that even after all these years, she is happy. And that's what truly matters.

#buddydaddies #buddy daddies #buddy daddies spoilers #love that they started their own family business #my retirement plan is run a bookstore cafe with my bestie so seeing this brings so much joy #would love to have ovas for the years in between #random thoughts about the ending #missing my comfort characters 😢

A sudden thought that came to me

#crk #cookie run kingdom #white pearl cookie #crimson coral cookie #crk spoilers #ok hear me out #white pearl didn't want lord oyster to drown so that's why she begged crimson to stop but also #he went overboard before and she legit saved him from drowning/soggyness #just do That here in the first place. bam abalone stops being a problem early and lord oyster doesn't die #'but what about oyster's family on the ship-' man fuck his family they already died later anyway #i bet if this happened white pearl coulda given him the pearl without the threat of abalone manipulating him into selling it away #or cutting off house oyster from their business partners bcuz you KNOW it was him that did that #white pearl would still have to contend with her lack of powers but now she can without the lack of Chaos and Trauma that turned her to bp #idk this just popped into my head in the shower #i do wonder what this would mean for sea fairy but i didnt think that far

Sometimes u just gotta find things to distract you from Arlecchino until she comes out

Like decorating your teapot to be a family home for Arle, her wife Furina and their 3 kids, Lyney Lynette and Freminet

#this is a great way to distract urself from Arlecchino. (obviously (it works great)) #technically there are a lot more kids in the house of the hearth than just those 3 #but I cannot put them in the teapot nor do I know them so #anyway this has been a fun project but I’m starting to run out of things to do #I’ve already made a bedroom for Arlefuri. a boudoir for Furina where she can work on her projects and things #I made a bedroom for the kids (I didn’t like the idea of separating their bedrooms since they’re all so close) #(I did give Fremi a little privacy nook cause I feel like he needs alone time. so does Lynette but we all know your twin doesn’t count) #the living room has Lyney and Lynette’s gift set as well as Fremi’s in it #I made Arlecchino an office. for Business TM #and I think the last major thing I need to do is rearrange the dining room. #right now it’s just Furina’s giftset but I kinda wanna downsize it #that way it can be a dining room and kitchen #cause like. a family dining room doesn’t need to be that big #if we had all the house of the hearth kids here we’d definitely need that much room + probably more #but we’ve got a family of 5 here they’ll be fine with 1 big dining table #ofc I already have everyone’s outdoor giftsets set up too #and one day Arlecchino’s giftsets will be added but #I don’t know what they are yet so #Arlecchino #Furina // #Arlefuri #Lyney // #Lynette // #Freminet // #Genshin Impact //

connor really had access to a completely different version of logan like.....when connor was born logan was probably in his twenties. he wasn't the head of an international media conglomerate, he was a twenty something year old guy trying to run a business and provide for his wife and baby. maybe he was still running his uncle's billboard company or maybe he had started to venture into news but he was nowhere near the titan the younger kids see him as. connor can do a silly little impression of him they share a hobby, they've made plans for his inevitable death - to the other three that would've been unimaginable. and this is not to say they had a good relationship, obviously they didn't, it's just so different.

#succession #succession spoilers #i have written and rewritten tgis so many times i don't think it makes sense but i so badly want it to #i think my point is that the logan the younger sibs know is Logan Roy CEO of Waystar Royco Most Powerful Man/Dad In The World #and the logan connor knew was logan roy the young ambitious father trying to grow his family business or get his newspaper up and running #logan in his 40s-80s versus logan in his 20s-30s would have been very different people #and this is why i need a connor's mother prequel series please and thank you jesse armstrong

I’ll be honest, whenever I start enjoying a fictional lesbian couple I start to ask myself which of them seems more transgender that I can project trans headcanons onto. Usually it’s not that difficult, but for both Marcille x Falin and Sorawo x Toriko I’ve flip flopped multiple times

#for the record I’m now firmly on the trans toriko side. not only is she taller and relatably awkward but she had queer parents #who would’ve accepted her #meanwhile Sorawo is the most autistic person in fiction so I really relate to her #but I think she was too busy with the cult thing to change her gender #Or alternatively ‘running away from my family in a cult who wants to kidnap me and make me one of them’ does embody trans themes #see this is why I flip flop #as for the dungeon meshi duo. Marcille has pathetic girl swag but Falin has autistic girl swag #however I very much relate to Falin not being particularly feminine in her wardrobe and having broad shoulders #now if you read this far you might be thinking: why not both? and you’re right #i mean I’m already projecting my gender into fictional characters why not go wild with it #and again you’re right I have no counter point

The girlies, like most Europeans, know a number of languages.

They speak Romanian, English, Italian, French and Latin. Alcina is very serious about this, as her daughters’ education is very important to her. It is the one thing she will never budge on; her daughters are going to be well versed in many languages and read different literatures in their respective language.

Of course, she will not limit them to that, if any of her daughters wants to learn an additional language, she can go right ahead and do that because she will always have her mama’s blessings to do so.

#headcanon #house dimitrescu #daniela dimitrescu #cassandra dimitrescu #bela dimitrescu #alcina dimitrescu #resident evil village #resident evil 8 #re8 #babies #it’s like they obviously speak Romanian bc that’s their native language and english ofc bc #the girls also need to be fluent in two other languages because they travel with their mama and if they’re going to run the family business #they will have to learn how to communicate and also bc their auntie is Italian so they just learned that #and Latin bc Alcina loves classics and she needs her daughters to be as classy as her like ‘you’re my daughters and I’ll be damned if you #can’t understand Latin’ like thats non-negotiable #like she’s not against them learning more #to Alcina if you’re interested in a particular literature you will read it in it’s own language #she has heaps of money and can easily hire as many tutors as needed so that her babies can get proper education #she's just so proud of them
