Jacek Malczewski - Artist and Chimera (1906)

A horn blared and Shun very promptly noticed three things.

One, he was in the middle of the street.

Two, there was an SUV bearing down on him, the distance closing too rapidly to do anything about.

Lastly and by far the most inane of his observations was that a pair of birds were wheeling overhead through the sky.

‘Welp,’ Shun surprised himself with how utterly calm he felt in that instant, acceptance of his imminent fate delivering all anxiety from him. ‘This is going to suck.’

“SHUN!”

His mother was screaming. She sounded horrified, tear stricken, her voice reaching pitches he’d never heard it.

Shun closed his eyes.

A solid force hooked his entire body and seized him, flinging him forward like he’d just been slung by a massive elastic band and Shun squeaked in shock only to have the sound abruptly muffled by a solid chest wrapped in soft cotton.

He looked up only to see Saiki, pale and shaken as he held Shun firm. His eyes were round and his lips were white but within a couple of breaths the emotion was gone.

str8 up stole this from twilight btw. while im on the subject.

Thinking about that part in the Moomin series where after getting transformed by the magic top-hat Moomin has to convince everyone that it's actually him.

Specifically the version from the 90s anime where he's crying and sobbing to his mother, who treats him with tenderness as she searches the supposed stranger's eyes, as if trying to find Moomin's very essence within this new monstrous form. And Moomin's getting really desperate because the long silence makes him think nobody believes him and he's ready to break down completely and give up knowing he's stuck in this new body.

Until Moominmama determines that yes, this is her darling child, and through the power of a mother's love he is transformed into his former self. Her love is what allows everyone else in the room to see that this is the same Moomin they've always known and loved.

Like, I know that entire novel and its subsequent adaptations are one big queer allegory, but that part really fucking hit hard for me as someone with a very tenuous relationship with their own mother. When I come out to her, will she be blinded by her ignorance and distaste for "alternative lifestyles" and antagonize me? Or will she too be able to see in my eyes that I am the same child she has always loved and that she will continue to love in this odd new form?

here’s a compilation of wolverine being fucking stupid bc i love him so much (MY SHAYLA MY POOKIE BEAR)

the amount of faith it takes to transition and believe it can get better is holier than any church

I want to write a book called “your character dies in the woods” that details all the pitfalls and dangers of being out on the road & in the wild for people without outdoors/wilderness experience bc I cannot keep reading narratives brush over life threatening conditions like nothing is happening.

I just read a book by one of my favorite authors whose plots are essentially airtight, but the MC was walking on a country road on a cold winter night and she was knocked down and fell into a drainage ditch covered in ice, broke through and got covered in icy mud and water.

Then she had a “miserable” 3 more miles to walk to the inn.

Babes she would not MAKE it to that inn.

hello hi, it’s been a bit. I got terribly busy immediately after the holidays :,) I still am to be honest but I wanted to get back into the swing of things

To that one person I promised I’d post my moomin essay, I still will!! I’m sorry it’s taken so long!

I’m working on my final film production in uni and multitasking is not my forte

There is a way for reigen to become mobs dad btw
