Imagine you and your best friend were two grains of sand and you had to be in the hourglass and your bestie had to be the glass. Ur together but youve never been more apart. A Sick and twisted practice hourglassery is...

Another wirt

wirt from otgw really is one of the best written teenage characters ever i think. like. he's 15-16-ish and wants people to take him seriously SO badly, but he also struggles to take responsibility for most things. he's dripping with anxiety. he overcomplicates everything in his mind but sometimes he has lapses of impulse. he can be surprisingly blunt when he's angry. he can't help but hate his little half-brother (and stepdad) out of spite and it takes both of them nearly dying for him to start working through those feelings. he's really creative but he keeps his interests in poetry and the clarinet a secret because he thinks it's fucking embarrassing. he reads real estate magazines and knows a lot about architecture and interior design, which is such a random little detail but i love it. he's self-conscious and lowkey suicidial and always assumes the worst in other people's view of him, but BASICALLY EVERYONE BACK HOME LIKES HIM, including the girl he has a massive crush on, and he just can't see it because he never makes an effort to reach out. every minor stepback feels like the end of the world to him. he has no idea who he is or what he wants.

to highlight the detail that the asker picked up on to people who might not have noticed it while also allowing the comic to stand on its own without me standing here overclarifying

🕯"There is only me. There is only my way. There is only the forest, and there is only surrender"🕯

i know we're all sick of self-care being a marketing tactic now, but i don't think a lot of us have any other concept of self-care beyond what companies have tried to sell us, so i thought i'd share my favorite self-care hand out

brought to you by how mad i just got at a Target ad

OP this is EXCELLENT

Now THAT’S a self care resource! If you’ve gotten distracted by capitalism’s appropriation of “self-care” and watering the meaning down to nothing this is a super helpful guide to cut through the bullshit.

My friend took this picture of me today. I know that Halloween is over, but I like that dark aesthetic)

everybody’s always on writing prompts like “what if there was a world where everyone had a timer ticking down to their death… but you met someone whose timer said infinity!” or “what if everyone had their cause of death tattooed across their forehead… but you met someone whose forehead said THE CREATURE!” Enough -

enough. stop with the shock value. there is no need to insert THE CREATURE; the benign concept of such a world is horrifying enough. not even in urgency, but just in banal, everyday interaction. imagine you meet someone and their timer says two years. not tomorrow, not urgently soon, but two years. enough to do quite a lot. they could fall in love in that time - could they get engaged? have a baby? you might otherwise get to know them, befriend them, but perhaps you opt not to, make a conscious choice not to invest in your own grief. what balancing act would every individual person have to participate in - I have ten years, is that long enough to be a good mother to children? is that long enough to secure a caretaker for my own mother? my wife will die a few months before me. my newborn’s timer reads nineteen years.

and cause of death. you interview for a job and emblazoned across the healthy, smiling face of the HR lady is MALNUTRITION. your country is prospering, safe, but every person you meet on the street from the babies to the old women read BOMB. BOMB. what kind of havoc would fate wreak on the world? what about the loss of privacy? how would that shape our notions of hope? idk man I think a lot of those ancient poems were right, and the fates are monsters. I’m interested by the framing of these ideas as trite horror tales when the premises themselves are so much more disturbing if simply taken to their logical ends

homunculous son or unkillable elder god daughter

I thought black nails would suit Cardan a lot 😌

Today's wax seals! I particularly love the butterfly one and the larger bee 💜

Midsummer Night's Dream

tfota as weird Pinterest pics lol part 3

Cardan and nicasia that time they went to the undersea together (idk abt this one guys)

How Val, lolli, Dave, and Luis looked to everyone after glamouring themselves in the mortal world:

Prince dain when coming to the conclusion of kill his gf and baby or become king instead(he has deer legs do u get it):

the roach when Jude miraculously healed him from an incurable poison and his almost gf confesses her love for him right after:

madoc scheming to kill the bloodline that he was sworn to and betray the prince helping him so that he could put his son on the throne and be king:

Humans w their Rowan berries and salt to the fae:

Jude trying to remember her school work, spy work, poison ratio she has to take every night, and her training w madoc (she is actually insane for this bro):

Madoc when Jude brought cardan into balekins coronation:

Madoc when Jude exposed his plot and beat him at a duel after poisoning his wine:

how cardan expected Jude to come home to him after receiving his love letters:

lol check my masterlist for the other ones bc linking them is too much work ok bye 🫶

That scene where Jude tells Cardan she loves him and he begs her not to lie to him, because he thinks he’s unlovable? I’m still not over it. He spent all his life trying to get the attention of the people he loves and all they did was torture him so badly that he had to hide behind the mask of a villain. And then comes Jude, the girl he used to hate, because he couldn't stop thinking about and thought he would never have a chance with...and she tells him she loves him with all the flaws he has <3
