It hurts, it throbs. The pain in his hand certainly hasn't dissipated. How could it of course? It has merely been 5 minutes of having a nail hammered through your palm… and then being forced to unhinge it yourself with the hammer is a painful process of its own, Copia is amazed that he didn't faint throughout the whole ordeal. The eerie eyes of Sister Imperator are enough to make sure he stays awake for seven nights in a row. He certainly shouldn't have made that mistake earlier, or else none of this would have happened. He must have caught Sister in a bad mood. “You shouldn't have been so reckless, Cardinal'' Sister Imperator's voice rings through his head.

''Stupid…so stupid. You deserve this Copia…'' He murmured to himself while walking at a hurried pace across the hall. The wounded hand was wrapped sloppily with his own sleeve and handkerchief. He's careful enough to not let any drops of blood hit the floor or to have any ghoul picking up the smell, it is rather late so he was lucky to not have been seen by anyone.

But trouble peeks at the end of the hallway as he sees a peek of a ghoul's tail swaying right around the corner. Without thinking Copia hurriedly unlocks a room at his side and scampers in, pushing his weight against the door as he huffs and puffs. His head was woozy and heavy from the loss of blood, unable to make up whose chamber he just entered.

A familiar voice greets him as he slumps onto the floor, still holding his bleeding hand and struggling to keep a steady breathing. His biretta falls forward as his head sways a bit, murmuring ''I'm fine'' over and over again. He can feel his shoulder being held by two hands, guiding him slowly onto a leather chair. He sits obediently, shivering.

The Third Emeritus slowly holds his arm, careful not to touch his bandaged hand. He knows it aches, he can smell how strong the blood is. ''Copia , please let me see it.'' He coaxes him slowly, worry on his face as he looks at the other man sweating profusely, holding onto the arm of the chair with his steady hand.

''But Terzo…Terzo I'm fine.'' His voice hovers with his lie. He knows he's not fine and it's not wise to lie in front of him, now that Terzo is looking at him almost ready to faint any moment. His bleeding hand shivers from the pain and the cold air but he tries to keep a solid composure, which he fails almost immediately.

''Amore, I will not ask again.'' His eyebrows furrow as he slowly holds the other hand. Copia gave up, he lets Terzo slowly unwraps the handkerchief and sleeve that he used to stop the bleeding. His palm is a bloody mess, his shaking intensifies as he winces a bit. Terzo grits his teeth, he knows what happened and he didn't need to ask the other about it. He has seen the degree of malice that his own mother had done before on his brothers. He takes off his own glove, his pale hand slowly placed right on top of the wound, resting on it.

Copia winces again as his whole body shakes. He looks at The Third with tears in his eyes, still trying to appear strong to him.

''This might sting a bit, but I want you to hold on alright?'' Terzo watches him as if waiting for an answer. After a slow nod from Copia he closes his eyes, a warm glow from his hand as steam slowly released from him. Copia groans but he keeps himself still, he can feel the warmth on his palm from the others. Within a few minutes, Terzo lets go of him. Copia's wound had no more than just light bruises by now. The open wound is gone save only for the light blue and red patch on his hand, a single dark scar in the middle where the nail had hit him almost like stigmata.

Terzo shakes off his hand for a moment before putting his glove back on. He cups Copia's face as if to make sure there are no other injuries on the cardinal. Copia lets out a long sigh, relief as the pain is gone but also because he stumbled into the right room in the midst of his panic. As if his body knows exactly where to go.

''You shouldn't have used your power on me…Papa'' Copia’s voice regaining back his composure slowly.

The Third shakes his head while he slowly gets up. ''I'm more than happy to use them on you. I need you to be alright, not bleeding all over my carpet.'' a hint of his playfulness peeks through. At least he's not panicking, Copia thought to himself. He slowly caresses his palm, now only soreness and dry blood.

''And please Copia, its Terzo. Not Papa. At least not here where we are together si?'' He moves to his wooden mahogany table where a kettle of tea still hot and steamy lays. Slowly he pours a cup before returning to Copia, handing it to him. The other man takes it steadily with his good hand. He cups it, letting the warmth envelops him.

''Am I only a Papa to you, Copia?'' Terzo kneels beside him, looking up at the other man, there is no anger in his eyes only longing and perhaps…a slight tinge of pain as if waiting for Copia's answer.

''You know I love you, Terzo…I love you more than anything. It's just that…I'm afraid of slipping up. I don't want to risk us both, not you definitely.'' He idles, finger caressing the edge of the glass as Copia gets teary again.

Terzo slowly lays his head on the other's knees, sighing. ''I do not like hiding like this Tesoro… Even my brothers can see how I am head over heels for you. Why can't the others? curse this…'' He grits his teeth looking down at the cardinal's shoes. Terzo could feel the other's hand slowly caressing his shoulder, he purrs slowly at his touch.

''Perhaps one day…One day we sure will…We will let the whole clergy know even.'' A small smile escapes from Copia as he lets his mind think about it. About how they would walk together arm in arm in the hallway, sneaking perhaps into the garden to steal kisses from one another or even just openly having dinner together in the main hall where the other siblings are. He thought of how nice it must be to show everyone how deeply in love they are with each other, that a Cardinal can love a Papa much deeper than they might have thought.

''Perhaps…si. We will do more than just that I hope.'' Terzo shifts a bit as he adjusted himself back at Copia, he slips his hand into his pocket to fish out a small velvet box.

''W-what do you mean by that Terzo?'' it's Copia's turn to look at him with confusion. He eyes the other man who is seemingly… blushing through his own paint as he slowly opens the velvet box in his hand. Copia's eyes widen. He knows exactly what is that as he had been eye-ing at it for the longest time before, hell even mentioned to Terzo about it as well.

''Marry me Copia.'' Terzo smiles as he holds up the tiny box, inside a silver ring with purple gem, as purple as lavender glimmers back at him. The Third's eyes seem to shine the brightest though as he smiles back at him.

''Terzo I- are you su-are you sure? me?'' the Cardinal eyes meet him only with excitement, he had forgotten all about the pain in his hand.

The Third nods slowly, waiting patiently for Copia. ''I couldn't think of anybody else that I wanted to spend an eternity with, amore.'' He chuckles a bit. ''I know it is eh…a bad timing but I couldn't wait for another opportunity.''

Copia chokes on a sob as he nods, he slumps onto Terzo landing them both on the floor as he yelps. ''I do! I do Terzo!''

Terzo holds onto him, a giggling mess as he cups and kisses the cardinal on the lips. ''I'm so glad, we will make it through caro. We can make it through together si?''

Copia nods, he couldn't think anymore as he presses his lips against him again. The cup of tea may be spilled at the side and his hand might ache a little but nothing beats the shimmery shine of Terzo's eyes as he whispers I love you in front of him.

“I love you so much Copia”

The night stars seem to emerge themselves just a little bit more on that night.

Undella bay, home to a variety of ocean pokemon, beach shenanigans, and the biggest bane to the patrat twin’s existence yet— hungry wingulls.

The local pokemon are used to people challenging them. Still amusing when it’s two children an eighth of their size doing so, though.

Masterpost for more shenanigans!

major props to christopher eccleston for acting out the lines "i couldn't save your world. i couldn't save any of them" with such subtle and layered emotions while also struggling against mannequin people trying to throw him into a pit of lava (he is very clearly standing on a styrofoam pad lit by LED lights)

Ruby’s band in the new dw special just casually having a Transfemme lead singer just mmmm….

Yes!

Like sure she’s only a bit part and that kinda sucks but the fact she’s just there casually because RTD has the balls to depict a world where trans people can just exist casually, just…

Yes, yes, yes. More please. It means so much to just SEE people like myself on my favourite show you have no idea. I hope she becomes a regular supporting character.

*average person gets thrown through 3 windows a year* factoid is actually just a statistical error. average person gets thrown through 0 windows per year. Trafalgar Law, who has been experiencing defenestration since he was 10 years old, is an outlier and should not have been counted

#lending credence to the theory that #the universe keeps law alive just because it likes having its own special little guy to inflict further suffering upon #further evidence for this coming up next episode��😁 #love this scumbag wet ragdoll princess cat who catches Ls like no one else in one piece #trafalgar law #one piece #cj's op watch-through #cj's edits #amv #anime #donquixote rosinante #donquixote doflamingo

watching the sdcc panel and i am just very :) about how sweet their answers to “what are some of the micro moments from the game that have stuck with you the most over the years?” are. taliesin saying what the fuck is up with that which was the first like The Party Gets To Know Each Other moments of c3. travis saying asking his wife if he could kiss her in campaign. marisha going way back to the cannonball competition in campaign one. ashley choosing the beauyasha date but also just the silly goat noise matt made. liam adding onto that to compliment matt roleplaying grass so well and then saying his favourite moment was writing a story for laura and reading it to her as caleb for jester. and then matt saying that was his answer, and that his favourite moments of the game are when they find ways to give gifts to each other whether tangible or not. and sam saying his favourite moments have less to do with the story and is more so when he can just. see his friends across the table from him. when marisha perches and when laura and ashley are (badly) drawing dicks and liam saying he loves when sam sneezes and ashley tells him to stop it and just. yeah. they Are an extremely popular online powerhouse, but i’m so happy that they’re also friends building a world together out of gifts to and love for one another.

like i Am so enamoured with the characters and the world of exandria but the moments when you can feel the love that those people have for each other reach out from behind the stained glass of their performances (to steal a metaphor from brennan lee mulligan) are so extremely special and i am endlessly grateful that they decided to share their silly little home game with the world.

#it’s just the. laura and travis’ characters always being supportive of one another when they’re facing hardship #taliesin and marisha consistently making characters who challenge one another and still protect each other relentlessly #all of them being so fond of ashley’s characters always and literally seeing them light up in c1 episodes when ash got to join in person #sam and liam always making characters who offer one another reprieves into kindness that they don’t always get in the campaign setting #liam making orym after falling in love with keyleth as vax #marisha making laudna after matt’s storytelling with delilah and choosing vex as her body double #ashley using ‘i would like to rage’ and matt having kord ask her where she finds her strength #laura and matt always weaving these deeply complicated and emotional interactions between a daughter and a father #the gasps and yells and clapping when matt makes cool sound effects or reveals a map or breaks/ends on a cliff hanger #them ending both campaign 1 and 2 with ‘what a great/nice story’ and travis saying ‘let’s do it again!’ #and it’s like. yes yes i love the comics and i’m a fan of tlovm but . seeing this well produced thing that somehow mimics #the feeling i get sitting in my living room laughing with my roommates about my ranger’s giant rat failing to climb stairs #it’s very special it’s very sweet #critical role #sdcc 2023 #taliesin jaffe #travis willingham #marisha ray #ashley johnson #liam o’brien #matthew mercer #laura bailey #sam riegel #cr cast #critical role cast #my posts

happy new year Ego!!! Just wanted to let you know that I absolutely adore your twst fanart and the tags are just an absolute pleasure to read! You are my greatest inspiration for my personal twst art and I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful masterpieces <333 if possible, may I ask what are some of your headcanons for the diasomnia family? If not for diasomnia then any other characters are fine as well!

thank you, and happy new year! 💚💜💚 that is amazing to hear; it's always a little bewildering but super flattering that other people like my silly little doodles so much!

I don't think I really have any really solid headcanons and also canon keeps validating me left and right (FLUFFY DOMESTIC DIAFAM IS REAL). mostly just kind of...impressions and general thoughts, if that makes sense! lately though I've been kind of obsessed with thinking about Lilia's hair, and specifically when/why he ended up cutting it. (l-look, we're bouncing around the timeline and I gotta make decisions about these things when I draw, it's relevant) (I mean I would probably be weirdly fixated on this anyway, but.)

I think I've settled on the idea that he kept it long until he went to NRC, partly because 1) I like drawing The Ponytail, and 2) I think he thought of NRC as a chance to reinvent himself a bit! he gets to go and be a wacky carefree teenager for a few years and have fun! (officially he's there to keep an eye on Son #1, but how much trouble could he get into, really.) so he gave himself a Cool Teen Haircut to go with his fresh new Cool Teen Persona!

also maybe he had some reflection on his hair's troubled past with three kids...

...and had to weigh his vanity versus the fact that he was going off to be around hundreds of kids on a daily basis, and. the choice suddenly seemed obvious.

I'VE RUINED IT FOR MYSELF. #(then he and epel went on to talk about their hypothetical vtubersonas because the birthday cards are INSANE but anyway) #i'm bad at headcanons :( sorry! #unless it's dumb things like...what pokemon they would have or whatever #(malleus would have some kind of special fancy-colored dragapult) (but i digress) #i have a hard time putting things into words. just know that i love the grampa bat and his weird kids very much. #my brain is also still kind of fried from the last couple of weeks #i am however starting 2024 off the way i intend to continue it: in deep contemplation of anime hair #(sorry if these look weirdly aliased) (i realized about 3/4 of the way through i was using the wrong brush and i didn't want to restart :U)

i think we need to understand the gravity of how quickly Percy blames himself and his disabilities for the way his world is. how he's been made to believe over years and years that he's weird, that there's something wrong with him. Percy saying he should've been paying attention. Percy saying there's something wrong with his brain. Percy calling himself broken.. he's just a kid man

#this is so unbelievably important #goes to show how the treatment of disabled kids can harm their self esteem so much #he's literally twelve?? #this kid has been told his entire life that there's something wrong with him #and he believes it #you can see how upset Sally is that he thinks that #like that's her little boy #i would riot so badly if my child ever had any reason to say that about themselves #also brunner calling him “special” earlier in the episode probably aggravated his reaction to getting the same statement from sally #god he's just a baby #he doesn't deserve this #this show is going to jumpstart such important conversations about a wide variety of things and I am so here for it #renew it already #percy jackson #sally jackson #walker scobell #virginia kull #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo tv show #pjo tv spoilers #isoceratops
