obito uchiha.
love that laius is like "dont worry izutsumi it is easy as fuck to kill me"
Its hilarious the juxtaposition of Main Charecter Syndrome Kabru and Im Just a Guy Laios
Kabru who keeps talking about his destiny and his journey and his self assinged mission that he is convinced he's the only one who can carry out
And the Laios who when called The Chosen One he went 'chosen? For what?' and when they told him he was propheticised to be king and he almost shit himself
it is insane, crazy, nuts how good for kabru being friends with laios is on multiple levels
he has to be honest and direct with laios to communicate. laios is so so earnest and thoughtful to him, and genuinely shows him affection thru food (and kabru cant cook or care for himself) with the harpy omelette (despite the um. misunderstanding between them), promising to take him to a restaurant as a sign of how sincere he is about being kabrus friend now, and kabru returns that favor by not just helping the faligon, but eating it, and staying to eat it until its almost done even though laios assured him he didnt have to. he can get angry with him and not feel like hes fucked it all up by showing his real emotions. something about laios puts kabru more in touch with his deeper desires--he acts in ways he doesnt understand around laios, betrays himself to his conscious mind, because he wants to badly to put his faith in laios and laios did not let him down, not where it mattered. he gets to take on a job laios cannot do for himself as prime minister in training where his skillset is valuable and he can indulge in work that really interests him and it will always be appreciated deeply by not only laios but the whole nation theyre building. for as long as laios is around, he never has to worry about monsters hurting him or his home--and laios is actively working on building a world where monsters can be made tamer through knowledge about them, and has already defeated kabrus biggest fear, the dungeon. laios gives him a safe context to conquer his fear of monsters at his own pace rather than forcing himself into traumatic situations where he dies all the time

marcille is never beating the jealous allegations
real exchange i overheard between two of my bosses. ????
iβve seen too many people arguing that marcille was already a full grown adult when she went to school at 35 despite literally all of the canon evidence indicating otherwise
Sorry for such a long post, but - I sketched up my interpretations/headcanons of the (human [alive]) Straw Hatsβ body types and had a lot of fun with it!
DO NOT BE AFRAID
this is combining Ovid's Heroides and the Excidium Troie because I can't stop thinking of Hermes telling him not to be afraid. what the fuck!! Ares is wearing the crown that Paris gave him.
I have. thoughts. about Paris. he's almost got this Troilos parallel in my mind, that the event that defines him in detail exists in a lost narrative that we don't have (the Cypria), but everyone else knew. the event that defines Troilos is his death (murdered, butchered by Achilles, the violence of which haunts everything after. Achilles, child killer, you can't escape that!), and the event that defines Paris is the Judgement. what's a lost text but a kind of grave!!
idk I don't think that Paris before the Judgement would recognize himself after bc when you become god touched, it rearranges your guts. you become transformed in the worst way possible! how could you recognize yourself! but I also think that all the Parises after the Judgement would recognize each other because that event is so locked into the trauma of war and the scar it leaves on the land, it's like a scar on the narrative too. it exists like this forever, over and over again, so you exist like that forever too. Troy collects grief and despairs.

and Paris is like. a miserable little god/corpse-puppet or something, like a match for the gods to throw onto gasoline.

This made me feel really happy β€οΈ
as a POC I canβt overstate how much I appreciate this, the third one especially who has this look that has lost so much hope, you can see her eyes swell in real time post transformation and it just goes to show that looking good makes us feel good
it warms my heart to see so many reblog this from me, yet unless youβre Black? (with little exceptions) I donβt think you all really get it, so let me really paint the story here.
the thing about Black hair is that it is varied, like incredibly so. some of us luck out and get what we dub βGood Hairβ, hair that is normally not as tightly curled and manageable with a little to midrange amount of effort. But many MANY of us have natural hair that is tough and thick, the curls are small, sometimes very tightly wound, it makes brushing and combing damn near impossible on top of other hair care methods. short as well as braided hair isnβt always desired but for many of us we have no choice, itβs just easier to maintain it that way, it is a sentence, not a style.
keep in mind that hairstyle is a statement, especially when youβre Black, your hair says so much about you in this community in particular. we also have the fact that our standard is held against White standards of beauty, and that is a whole different conversation involving privilege, systemic racism, and internalized hatredβlike bitch, this has LAYERS!
take the age into account here for all these women, but in this case Iβm specifically talking about the third. now, these are all educated assumptions, but you know where those tears are from? sheβs had to live with this hair her whole life! and you just KNOW sheβs tried everything!βheat, curling, straightening, perms, softeners/relaxers, HUNDREDS of products that make hundreds of promises, and many of these risk taking out the natural oil and proteins in hair which is a death sentence for Black hair. she had given up hope that anything good could ever be done Iβll bet. that transformation did more than style her hair, it gave her years upon years of hope; Listen to Black folk when they tell you, itβs more than just hair.
this man is doing more than hair, heβs changing livesβ¦I just hope he knows that.
