If I remember correctly you created Machete around 2007-2008. But when did you create Vasco? (I'm sorry of this has been asked before, I couldn't find anything)

First finished pictures of Vasco are from 2018, but even before that I had been thinking it would be interesting if Machete had had one (1) romantic relationship in his youth before he was ordained. I just didn't have a name and design for him yet.

In the earliest sketches of Vasco, he first looked a little bit like a bordercollie, then like a spaniel or a setter. He had a darker color palette as well, sort of chestnut brown with white markings, but combined with the overpowering whiteness of Machete he looked kind of impassionate and drab, so I kept making him warmer and lighter until he became the golden boy he is today. The name came later, I just thought Vasco sounded friendly and charismatic. (Also the old finnish word 'vaski' means brass and bronze, and even if it's a tedious connection and doesn't factor into their canon at all, it felt too fitting to me personally and I had to go with it).

#answered #anonymous #he was meant to be an absent character #one who appeared only in a couple of flashbacks or dreams #but the fact he used to be there and then wasn't was something that still influenced Machete #how he viewed love and other people and himself #Vasco wasn't supposed to show up again but he sort of elbowed himself back into the story and into a central position just last summer #really switched up things you could say #I originally imagined him to be more cocky and entitled and thrill seeking #but he mellowed out pretty instantly #I like him a lot better as a genuinely good and sincere person #maybe partially because you wouldn't expect someone that coddled and spoiled to have a sense of empathy and a working moral compass?

She spent her spring break studying the blade, while all the other white girls frolicked

She's a weeb samurai <3 Total cultural appropriation 😔

#white girl summer #samurai #doodle #caffe art #and one spicy doodle here #she's the kind of girl that after living as an expat samurai for half a decade would seek out other white people to brag about it #but her dedication to the blade is real #insufferable u ^ u #second doodle was her origin as my Wild Hearts character #everyone in that game goes... sugoi! that was amazing! #start with a japanese phrase and then finish with english for the rest of the sentence #and then she's the hero of the town #All that attention goes straight to her head #main character syndrome

“Matsuura-san’s parent died… Hikaru’s parent also died… having your parent die… is bad.”

Thank god we’ve got Yoshiki here, modern philosopher of our time, to drop this wisdom upon us. Surely this grand conclusion, which required a whole flashback to come to, will have an impact on how Yoshiki views death going forward- oh wait, lol what am I saying? Of course it’s not!

#It took so much to come to the coldest take I’ve ever seen #Like Yoshiki pulled this straight out of the fridge ‘hikaru’ put Matsuura in #And he somehow got less empathetic after this point #At the point that /‘Hikaru’/ is the one going ‘should we care about this person dying?’ #And Yoshiki is going ‘nah. We’ve got a research project to do’ #Smth has definitely changed #I hope this obsession with the research project is like- an actual thing #Maybe like Yoshiki is experiencing that same emptiness ‘hikaru’ feels on a daily basis but he doesn’t know what would fill it #So he’s just seeking out and taking in as much information as he can because learning has always been an escape for Yoshiki #Like being smart is Yoshiki’s way out of the village. Every time Tokyo is brought up it’s almost always in reference to his intelligence #So learning more has always been Yoshiki’s solution to things. ALSO Yoshiki is actually obsessed w/ this research project #He thinks about it while he’s in class- while he’s studying outside of class- while his friends are all talking- #You can probably count on two hands the amount of times Yoshiki talks about smth other than the research project post volume 3 #It’s actually concerning #hikaru ga shinda natsu #the summer hikaru died #hgsn #hgsn spoilers #my hgsn shit #It doesn’t have to be because he’s becoming more like ‘hikaru’ #I’d just like for that plot point to come up again and be like a driving force for why Yoshiki acts the way he does #The actual reason will be nothing at all #And instead Yoshiki will revert back to normal when Maki eventually dies #Because Yoshiki is only capable of caring about people he knows the name of

this show yet again just misses the mark and it’s so frustrating. Belly continues to make everything about herself and it is so damn infuriating that the narrative makes it so that Laurel is in the wrong. How the FUCK is she supposed to know what’s going on if you literally LIED???? Why does belly not see that she is making everything about herself? “Oh I miss Susannah” that was your mom’s LIFELONG best friend. The boys you’re fucking with? Their MOTHER. I have such empathy for teen girls but belly pushes the fucking limit.

Much less the dumbass fandom response in woobifying Conrad and demonizing Jeremiah for??? Existing? How so many presumably grown ass (cause it’s NOT teenagers) people can assume malicious intent with Jeremiah breathing but bend over backwards to defend Conrad for damn near anything and everything when he’s literally a walking red flag belly would talk about in therapy.

At this point I’m firmly team Jeremiah in that he deserves better than this show or these people. Conrad needs therapy and belly needs a fucking reality check.

They may call it a Summer palace, but it’s actually three different structures joined together. The cathedral is at the top. No way in there except from the palace itself. Below that, the whole place is a maze of secret passages, easy to get lost in. And it’s all built atop a sealed temple to the Old Gods.

#i just want to know more about the connection of this circulum and the summer palace #because it was 'crafted there' and by 'amelia pavus' !!! #the palace is built on top of a temple of old gods - dragons #and they kept a dragon frozen there until the last resort trap wakes him to kill everyone in the palace!! #it began with dragons and ends with them #dragon age #dragonageedit #dragon age absolution #daedit #dragon age absolution spoilers #rezaren ammosine #rezaren dragon age #tassia dragon age #and then how did the divine come to the circulum? did he got it from the pavus family? 'it was lost in politics and history' #and then someone who 'seeks it'!! which is also cassandra the seeker (possibly to keep it safe from wrong hands) #i just hope either s2 or da4 will touch upon this bc it seems even more connected to dragons finally and if now they let this dragon go- #i have this small hope that in da4 the dragons could become more.. friends with whoever will be the main character then #its called dragon age ffs.. let me befriend them OTL #im sure theres gonna be some connection between this artifact (or what comes after this story) the dragons as first gods and solas and elves #mine #gif:da #daa spoilers

it's always said white clouds aren't always silver lined.

every cloud has a silver lining, meaning that every negative situation can have a positive side-effect to it. this comes from clouds—especially grey and stormy ones—having a "silver lining" when backlit by the sun; a promise of something better and brighter after the storm is gone ( it's always said white clouds aren't always silver lined, but the future's looking bleak, and the storm is set to rise. ).

but for white clouds—which do not have anything particularly negative associated with them—, the contrast isn't quite there to be able to tell clearly whether the cloud is silver lined or not. you could assume it is, but just as well it could not be.

white clouds. silver lining. white. silver.

summer rose.

our dreams came true, our path was clear, the moon safely watched from above. but every smile is not the same, and every heart is not filler with love for mankind; look around it's getting very hard to find. not every open wound is simply healed by time, but revenge is always sweet, and chaos is the prize.

show them how you smile, it's only for a while. take what you need, leave them to bleed. let them know bitter while your revenge is sweet.

if it's war that you want, then you got it ( farewell to days of peace 'cause now it's time to die ). when i kick your ass and look you in the eye, and with a smile and a cheerful heart i'll turn to you and wave goodbye.

just say goodbye. time to die. so just say goodbye. black out the sky ( the storm is set to rise ), all things must die.

bit by bit, the show is making it clear that as different as summer and raven may seem on the surface, the more similar they actually are. and if raven attended beacon for the purpose of learning how to kill huntsmen... for what reason may summer have been there, when every smile is not the same, and revenge is always sweet?

#rwby #summer rose #the warrior in the woods lost her people to other people #ilia lost her parents in a mining accident when a worker tripped handling agitated dust crystals #if summer lost her parents to the actions of other people... #who is she seeking to take revenge on? #( tock worked for salem. but she had some very bandit looking fellows with her as well ) #( ......... ) #( YA KNOW )

Love looking at the the update of HGSN and just

#the summer hikaru died #hgsn spoilers #bro I can’t read Japanese but the PAIN OUGHH #Gotta stop relating to these two. I’m going to collapse. #There’s two sad boys in your head. Yoshiki and ‘Hikaru’. You relate to both. Please seek help. #‘Hikaru’ through tears: I don’t want to be alone. But I guess that’s just how it is. I’m totally not sad about that. #Me: damn okay. No need to be relatable. #Yoshiki clutching the hell out of ‘Hikaru’s shirt: Please dont leave me. I can’t. Not again. #Me: OKAY DAMN!

I think it’s narratively interesting - if sad - how Angel leaves Buffy to give her a chance to have a full life, and she becomes progressively more isolated - even from her best friends and family - as the series goes on; whereas Angel, who has been isolated except for his relationship with Buffy for decades, gains a found family with multiple levels of emotional connection and growth after he leaves.

In all honesty, while I will always love Angel and Buffy and Angel’s relationship, it’s one of my aggravations with his reasoning for leaving. If he’d left because the relationship was hurting *him* (and I believe in some ways it was, at that point), I would think it was tragic and beautiful. But leaving for *her*, ignoring her wants and needs and removing one of the few people Buffy truly felt comfortable opening up to and being vulnerable with, ends with Buffy having fewer options in her emotional tool belt and feeling as if she is the part of their relationship that was the freak show.

Buffy felt comfortable opening up completely to Angel because Angel makes it clear to Buffy that he loves her, all of her, always, in ways her other long term emotional support pillars don’t always manage to articulate (even if they feel the same). She’s Xander’s hero, and Xander *can* and has been judgmental, so she’s not always comfortable being vulnerable in all aspects of her life with him. She and Willow are close, and Willow isn’t judgmental, but it does seem like Buffy feels the need to be alright for her, especially when she’s spiraling in season 6. She doesn’t want any emotions she has from Willow’s actions to hurt *Willow*, and she prioritizes protecting Willow over being honest with her. Dawn is her dependent. And Giles? She opens up to him and he leaves anyway.

And I think in a majority of these situations, Buffy would be better off being honest - or, in the case of Dawn, more if not entirely honest - with her loved ones. Xander can be judgmental, but he makes it clear in season 5’s Intervention that he can be empathetic and kind, and that his primary concern when it comes to Buffy is Buffy’s health and happiness. Willow is going through her own problems in season 6; but in general, she is also open and empathetic and kind, and her primary concern when it comes to Buffy is also her health and happiness. Buffy puts up these walls because she feels responsible for her friends’ emotional responses, and I do think part of that is her feelings of guilt stemming from her parents’ divorce ( her ‘father’s’ monologue in Nightmares is both horrific and a bit funny); and then Angelus’ murders; and then Angel’s and Riley’s (and then Giles’) exits from her life. Because the people she’s opened up to leave, she becomes convinced that she loses people when she shows them her imperfections and her flaws and her hurts.

Angel gains friends and family once he leaves Sunnydale. He doesn’t always open up to them, and he makes a lot of questionable decisions, but his world expands considerably post-break up. I love that for him. And it’s not on him or his issue to fix, either, but I do ache for Buffy that her circles get smaller and seem more brittle as the seasons go on.

#buffy the vampire slayer #buffy summers #angel #btvs meta #I thought some thoughts #I’m so happy for Angel #that he has this found family that builds itself around him #even in the face of his sometimes active discomfort #and he wouldn’t have that in Sunnydale #unless the show allowed for him to have another friend group #but unlike spike Angel isn’t inherently social #so while spike seeks out kitten poker #something or someone would need to draw Angel out #but I am sad for Buffy #that Angel leaving creates a void in her life #that nothing really fills in show #no one steps into that role #some may say spike does #and while I love spike #he isn’t Buffy’s equal in their relationship the way Angel is #Buffy doesn’t go to him because she necessarily wants to #but because she doesn’t have other places to turn #and she doesn’t take comfort in spike’s affirmations like she does Angel #Angel even after everything is Buffy’s safe space #and I want her to have that space again after his exit

hi! I’m looking for a fic I read sometime within the last 1-2 years. All I remember is a scene where Bucky was in some sort of army hospital after losing his arm I think? And he runs into Tony there after Tony is rescued from Afghanistan. I think they had already known or were dating each other, but had some sort of a falling out before each getting injured and seeing each other again. Thank you!

This is Request 394 - if you know this fic, please send us an ask!
