hunger is whatever shape the moonlight pulls your shadow into.

The cover and first two pages of a comic about Essek and touch, set just after episode 97 and the reveal of his treachery.

There are nine pages. I will post them in batches as I finish them, and each post will be updated with the links to the other pages. 💜

I've had this idea sketched out for several years (check out my user icon, which hasn't changed since I made this account 😉 ), and I am excited to finally sit down and finish it! Here's a close-up of the Rosohna and Xhorhaus panel on page 2.

An absence is also a presence, no?

Poetry source is ONE SIDE OF AN INTERVIEW WITH THE GHOST OF MARVIN GAYE by Hanif Abdurraqib.

#my art #essek thelyss #shadowgast #critical role #lonely wizard with access to unimaginable reality-bending powers uses it to make even lonelier decisions: the comic #''keep pages simple! don't make panels into paintings'' is truly excellent advice for comics. however hubris is tasty and fun #see you in 4 years when i finish the next 3 pages #i tried a dozen times to post this but tumblr had an annoying issue where it only saved an incomplete draft and sent updates to the void #so yeet 🤞 hope my text made it. we are skipping drafts entirely. live fast die hard

y'all not to be horny for fluff and affection

but imagine being called peach by Eddie.

Imagine being pulled into a deep hug, head on his chest and head on top of yours and he just goes "there's my peach."

or you're rambling about something and all of your thoughts are making him just get this goofy little smile of his where he's looking at you as though you hung the moon and stars, and just goes "you're just such a peach, you know that?"

Can you imagine the adoration? the love? the affection that this man would and could put into this word?

I'm just putting that out there, just for fun and me time, I'm just sayin, it could be really cool and nice. Could really get your face blushing and you trying to hide a smile and that makes him gush about you even more.

Oh my gods.

#eddie munson fluff #eddie munson #eddie munson x reader #it is concerning how much i want this fictional man #it is scary and deeply concerning how i want this man bibically and spiritually #a made up man that we made up on the idea of a guy in a show #we are truly living in a day in time and i don't regret it

one thing I have learned about being poor is that you cannot for a moment stop thinking about it

#theres no peace #every little thing reminds me we are poor #seeing friends having electricity wifi heat food gas. it all costs money. and bills and fees and charges happen all the damn time #im constantly worried that i am measing up somehow or im not keeping track of my finances properly #the person handling our disability assistance application keeps coming back with question after question about my job #and i have so much doubt and fear that ive made some mistake in my answers that will disqualify us from support #and theres this sick backwards stupid thing where applying for and being on disability support is discouraging me from trying to make money #because the more i make the less likely we'll get support but i need to make money to live #its just fucked. and once we're on support i have to make monthly reports of my income so ill feel like im explaining myself all the fuckin #time #cus the system isnt built in a way that makes sense for self employed ppl who have business expenses to account for #sorry for the ranting i cant sleep #truly truly i think poverty is making me a worse persin #more anxious more resentful more jealous more miserable more spiteful #i have so little and there is so little i can do to help it #i want things in a more desparate and even childish way than i used to eant things #spend a lot more time fantasizing about magically having expendable income #not to mention the constant exponential guilt that comes from asking for help or recieving help. its guilt i need to unlearn but i feel it

Idk I'm not trying to be a hater but I just don't think that the parentified teenager dying is the BEST ending for his character

#WHAT DO I KNOW #I genuinely hope no one takes this the wrong way #i know y'all are just having fun but I'm a little annoyed tonight I'm sorry #like it gets so tiring with the ur fave is gonna die every time we have a set update #and just his death is such a terrible message #like he truly hasnt be able to live his own life or even figure out what he WANTS #and im sorry tragedy for tragedies sake is shit writing #anyways if you wanna hate me i have an inbox #jonathan byers #stranger things

hi! your blog is one of my favourites and i absolutely adore reading your thoughts. my grandfather recently passed away and it feels like i lost myself with him. how do i continue living after this? there is this constant weight on my chest and it feels like an emptiness has made a home inside of me. how do i go on when it feels like the world crashed on my shoulders?

hello, love! this is so very sweet and kind of you, and i hope you're treating yourself gently and kindly right now - there aren't words for a loss like this. that heaviness is difficult, and hard, and painful. it's okay if things don't feel okay, right now, or even soon - i think that's something that a lot of the people i know that have gone through similar grief feel: like they should be able to get back to a relative 'normal' in a [insert far too short period of time].

but it's okay if it hurts. that's where i'd like to start. you're allowed to feel that emptiness, that world-crashed feeling that goes beyond words, beyond time. don't feel like you have to rush this to feel some sort of better. things get easier with time, i promise you this, but sometimes painful feelings are important to feel, too. cry, scream, feel your emotions. they're a part of you. grieve.

it's perhaps a little silly, but when i think about death i always think about a couple of space songs: mainly drops of jupiter by train and saturn by sleeping at last. there are perhaps others that speak to the emotions better, but these two have always hit something a little deeper for me, and are popular for a wide-reaching reason.

and while personally i don't know much about grief like this, i do know a lot about love; and i think they're a lot of the same thing.

the people we love are a part of us, and this is why it takes from us so deeply when we lose them, because it does feel like we've lost a part of ourselves in the wake of it. but it's because they were so central to our experiences of living - our lives, that the separation introduces a hollowness - a place where they used to be. a home that now goes unlived in.

an emptiness, like you said.

but just because they're not here physically, doesn't mean he's not still there, in your heart, in your life, your memory. you can hold him close in smaller ways, as well: steal a sweater, or cologne/scent for something a little more physical and long lasting for remembering. hold onto the memories you cherish, the things that made you laugh, the ease of slow mornings and gentle nights. write them all down, slide a few photographs in there, go through it and add more when you miss him. keep them all close, keep them in your heart.

you're not alone, in this. he's still there, with you, it's just - in the little things.

he's with you in the way you see and go about your daily life, in doing what he liked to do, in the ways he interacted with the world that you shared with him. the memories you recall fondly when the night is late or the moment is right and something calls it into you like a melody, an old bell, laughter you'd recognize anywhere.

but i think, perhaps most importantly above all others - talk about him. with your family, your friends, his friends, strangers; stories are how we keep the people we love alive. the connections they've made, the legacies and experiences they've left behind, and so, so many stories.

how lucky, we are - to love so much it takes a piece of us when they go. grief is the other side of the coin, but it does not mean our love goes away. it lives in you. it lives in everyone who knew him, in the smallest pieces of our lives.

the people we love never really leave us, like this: they're in how we cook and the way we fold our newspapers, our laundry, in the radio stations we tune in to and the way we decorate our walls, our photo albums. they're in the way we store our mail, organize our closets, the scribbled notes in the indexes of our books. the meals we love and the drinks we mix, the way we spend time with one another. they've been passed down for generations, for longer than history - and we are all the luckier for it.

think about what you shared with him, and do it intentionally. bring him into your life, like this, again. whether it's crosswords or poetry or sports or anything else. if one doesn't help, try another. something might click.

i hope things feel a little easier for you, as they tend to do only with time. i hope you find joy in your grief, even if it is small and hard to grasp at first. know that your hurt stems from so much love that there isn't a place to put it properly, and that it is something so meaningful and hurting poets and storytellers have been struggling to put it into words and sounds that feel like the fit right for eons, and that it is also just simply yours. sometimes things don't have to make sense. sometimes they just are - unable to be put into words or neat little sentiments, as unfair and tragic as they come.

but i promise it will not feel like this forever. your love is real. and perhaps, on where to begin on from here - i think it's less on finding where to begin and just beginning. and you've already started. you've taken the most important and crucial step: the first one. wherever you go, after that, from here? you'll figure it out. you always have, and you always do. it'll come, as things always do. love leads us, as does light - and you're never alone in your hurt. in your grief, your missing something dear to you. i think if you talk about it with others, you'll find they have ways of helping you cope as well - and they have so much love of their own to spare, too.

as an aside, here is the song (northern star by dom fera) i was listening to when i wrote this, for no other reason more than it makes me think of connections, and love, and how we hold onto the people we love and how they change us, wonderfully and intrinsically. it's a little more joyous than the others i've mentioned, and plays like a story, and it made me think of what is at the core of this, love and stories and i am here with you, and maybe it'll bring you some joy, if you'd like it. wishing you all my love and ease 💛

#q&a. #birdsong. #wishing u gentle ease; the death of a loved one is near inexplicable to put into words and i hope you take care of yourself gently <3 #i hope this will make u laugh: when i was a tiny child in middle school there were times i would go outside in my tiny suburban cul de sac- #in the rain and sing along to my lil ipod nano and i only remember doing this to drops of jupiter. can you imagine going out to get the mai #after a long day of work and you just hear this kid singing train in the streets. in the RAIN.... it makes me laugh like i really. #i really thought i was so cool and deep and emotional ghjkd but i find it v funny that i only remember it w/ that one train track. #and saturn just. it's my fav s.a.l. song for a reason. that slow violin opening? the piano coming in gentle and easy? #it feels like light. like hope. like something new - a dawn after the long dark. that beautiful things can begin again even where #it hurts. and there is nothing more human than a sentiment like that. #how rare and beautiful it is to truly exist. what it is to be alive and get to be here and live with other people. with those we love. #i think your grandfather was so lucky to be able to know you. to have you in his life for the time you had together. #i'm no spiritual person; but i like to believe when you're thinking about him? he's thinking about you too. #the second law of thermodynamics (physics nerd mode) is that no energy has ever been created/destroyed since the beginning of the universe. #so it has to go somewhere - it's that carl sagan quote of 'we're all made of stardust'. because we are. we used to be stars; planets; etc. #i think it's why i think of these space songs - because they're a part of everything; once more; when they go. us and everything else.

wait.

if Nandor knew that the only way to reverse the transformation was to kill the vampire that sired Guillermo...

he was going to travel the world...with his best friend...go back to his home...turn Guillermo at the banks of the Tigris

in s3 finale, after Guillermo had cornered Nandor, proving he can have violent intent towards him, Nandor says, "yes, yes. this is what I've been waiting for. you've passed the test"

but he wasn't talking about being a vampire...

he was talking about what he would have to do after...

#wwdits #what we do in the shadows #nandermo #guillermo de la cruz #nandor the relentless #but tonight you've proved that you have what it takes to take care of yourself #i mean Guillermo would have never been ready to kill Nandor #and Nandor would have known that #but he would (potentially) be ready to live without Nandor #like how Laszlo writes in his letter to Nadja #“you don't need me to protect you anymore” #and Nandor has always protected Guillermo from the realization that he could never truly be a vampire... #Nandor was going to have a beautiful time with who he loved most #go back home #turn Guillermo #and after some time - proving to Guillermo that he wouldn't be able to commit to being a vampire #he would have killed himself #in his homeland #prbly where he feels like he should have died 700 years ago #thanks i hate it

The new live-action ATLA looks amazing, incredible, already such an improvement over the movie. But I really hope they don't neglect the lighthearted atmosphere and comedic elements of the original show. I'm okay with a grittier, slightly darker tone because that's just natural for a live action adaptation, but LET ZUKO BE A DUMBASS and LET TOPH BE PETTY and LET AANG BE FUN-LOVING and LET SOKKA BE THE COMEDIC RELIEF

Like it's okay to aim for a different mood, just not to the point where everyone's grim and depressed and ooc

#they're kids! let them be kids! #oh yeah and momo looks horrifying #but that's ok so long as the writing is good #can't believe we live in an age with a real canon live-action zuko ponytail. truly we are blessed #atla #avatar the last airbender #avatar the last airbender live action #live action atla #atla live action #netflix atla #my zutara hopes for this series are sky-high #and lets face it. kataang looks unrealistic this time around #cant believe percy jackson and atla live action adaptions are both getting second chances that look good so far #my CHILDHOOD #really really frustrated about the whitewashing and zuko's scar. but that's a whole 'nother post #and if toph is not casted with a legally blind or AT LEAST vision-impaired actress then I will be flipping tables

world's saddest chosen

#sovo art #xan x radri #xan: here i've carefully constructed 2 images of what our future could look like. in image 1 we are living in domestic bliss #and in image 2 i am so mournful and longing and loving in my worship of you bc we will never truly connect again #radri: x. xan. why did you spend your time on this i already said i want to stay with you #xan: i thought perhaps if you really pictured it you would make a more objective assessment of your options #radri: wh-- | xan: a hundred years from now you'll resent me bc you chose me over seizing godly power just because you loved me once #xan: and i won't be able to live with myself | radri: that's not going to happen | xan: but it *could*

i have such a morbid fascination with those weird reddit dudes who rate their attraction to a woman by working out the ratios and proportions of her features. i want to know if it has ever occurred to them that this is not how other people experience attraction

#ik theyre awful misogynists but a part of me really feels bad for them #there’s definitely a chunk of them who do it bc they resent beautiful women #and kinda self-soothe by ‘proving with numbers’ that these women arent ACTUALLY attractive and they dont want them anyway #but i always wonder how many of them truly just dont feel attraction when looking at women #so they use the numbers as some sort of proxy #bc We Live In A Society that kinda tells boys that if ur not pursuing and getting women then ur not a real man or whatever #im not saying theyre right but i can follow the lines of thought of that second genre of guy #where ur pushed the idea of Getting With A Woman so much but you dont actually want to get with a woman #so you end up with resentment towards women #idk. #anyway this all mostly applies to the very young ones #i have little time for grown adults who use society as an excuse to continue making society suck

Oh, friends. I'm sitting here with my dog dying on my lap. Send us some love and strength?

#he's 15 and has truly wrung every second out of life #he was diagnosed with kidney disease 3 years ago #a stroke 2 years ago #one year ago he was so anemic the vet thought he would die within weeks #each time he laughed in the face of death and kept living his good life #so there's really nothing to regret or wish different and I wish we could all have lives as full and charmed as his #but he's been with us since he was 8 weeks old and seen me through so much shit #he's also a complete asshole 💜 #and so many of my daily routines are shaped around him #so it's not just losing him it's losing the entire shape of our lives for 15 years #pet loss #cw pet death #pet death #cw pet loss

Thinking about that one minigame from Green Lake where you nyoom around the place with Tooth Fairy. Thinking about it happening in a literal way is cracking me up.

Local dentist is sliding around on the ground, phasing through the fences and sucker-punching carbuncles and critters while looking for teeth. Dentist is also reminiscing how she got those teeth to a gaggle of college-age people and two teenagers (one of the teeth is from accidentally hitting someone with her car, another is from intentionally punching someone so hard they lose that tooth).

#tooth fairy #reverse 1999 #and i think it is literal just giftboxed into a neat little minigame #can i say how much i love the way bluepoch uses everyone's little board pieces and the mechanics of the minigames with them #like i suck ass at them but i love it #first two events is in literal form (see: melania escaping places diggers running away from police toof sliding around) #and then there's mor pankh with kaalaa baunaa running away from the personification of her work deadlines and procrastination. she eats #an energy bar a dog chewed on and only realizes it later. damn girl you live like this #tooth fairy is truly the woman of all time and i hope we get to see more of her and the green lake girlies #certified storm moments

There's a scene in the first season of Babylon Berlin where a characters reads a lecture on psychoanalysis and PTSD (the series are set sometime between the two world wars) and the audience boos him.

"Brain is an organ, not a poetry book," they say.

For me it put into perspective how important was what Freud did. Considering the setting he had to work in, the setting he had to overcome in his own mind first, we really don't value the guy enough.

Not like I didn't *know* it, but it helped immensely to see it in context.

He was the first who said that humans have an inner life that's neither sacred nor purely physical. That it's governed by its own predictable rules and breaks in predictable ways, and that it can be mended through talking. Not being electrocuted or medicated out of the patient.

Just how awesome is that. Just how much inner work that required in his times.

#one thing that gets me when I try to read him #is his stance on ethics in therapy #he wrote about how tempting the position of being an expert on living was for the analyst #how it should be avoided not only in outward actions #but even as a passing thought #because the analysant will feel it if it's there #and it will stop them from moving where they really need to be #I see very few modern therapists who truly avoid that position #or truly understand the gravity of it #also unlike jung the guy never slept with his patients #ethical committees weren't even around at that time #no one would have stopped him #and yet he didn't #his ideas may be outdated #but we seriously underestimate freud as a person and as a scientist
