Even though life is kicking your ass, I hope you’re doing well! I hope there’re some good things in store for you
I’ve been thinking about writing again, I haven’t really posted much since life went haywire. We shall see if I ever get anything finished to a point of liking it enough to post.
Thank you for your kindness.
Hi snarky! I was just scrolling through old stuff and saw your blog! I realized you haven't posted in a while- I hope life is going okay for you! 💖
To be completely transparent life has taken my ass and handed it directly to me several times over, but I’m surviving. It honors me that you thought of me enough to send an ask. I remember you fondly, and I hope life is going better for you than it is for me. And if not I hope you find a break soon.
I rewatched Goncharov (1973) cause of the hype and I needed to sketch something cause I can’t get these characters out of my mind like holy damn. why does this movie have so many killer quotes ;_;
My husband is a man who collects things he can use. A pistol, a pocket-watch, a woman's love, a wife....
I'm obsessed with That Scene(tm) between Katya and Andrei in the California Director's Cut Rerelease of Goncharov, so I did a lighting study inspired by the film's Art Deco Posters! Little details like Katya never referring to her husband by his first name really add to Andrey and Katya's tense dynamic, which is one of the most underrated parts of the movie imo.
Andrei, is time something we were gifted, or all we really have left?
THE FATUI HARBINGERS // A WINTER NIGHT’S LAZZO
Sometimes I miss who I used to be. The good parts anyway.
personally I think an underutilized ship dynamic is "this is so ill-advised that we are both aware on some level that it cannot possibly end in anything but a breakup so acrimonious that we'll spend the rest of our lives hunting each other for sport, but we have decided to keep making out with each other anyway."
why is every other post abt the ragbros a joke abt diluc tossing kaeya out of the tavern or just insulting one or the other…where are our heartwarming headcanons abt how they get ALONG after their reconciling? I’ll start-
- When they’re on expeditions to dragonspine kaeya’s hands get cold as shit (goes with my personal headcanon that cryo allogenes grow cold faster) and he loses some dexterity so when they’re at camp diluc peels his apples for him . says nothing but everyone knows he’s peeling kaeya’s apples
- Going out with bennett + fischl + the traveler gets extremely chaotic and they usually fall apart at the seams halfway thru their expeditions 😭 they jump in the spring at springvale for fun and diluc stands at the edge with his arms crossed and his >:(( grumpy face on but he’s really just watching for kaeya because he remembers he wasn’t a great swimmer as a kid and he doesn’t know if he’s gotten any better-
- Speaking of…sometimes diluc feels bad abt being gone so long and feels out of touch so he lowkey kind of. stalks his little brother to find out his likes + interests. it’s kind of weird kind of creepy but his heart is in the right place he’s trying. like imagine people staring as he’s very obviously staring a hole in kaeya’s head from around a corner. he leaves new books on kaeya’s desk that he assumes are from lisa
- Speaking of kaeya being a bookworm headcanon, he has a book club with lisa. they are the only two members . he invites diluc to their biweekly meeting where they sit outside good hunter and drink tea and talking about the latest romance novel they read turns into gossiping about anything and everything. diluc just sits there and absorbs
- He was just happy to be invited
- Kaeya knows diluc not so secretly loves cats and dogs and most animals really so he starts leaving food outside the angel’s share’s back door so they gather there around nighttime when diluc leaves and gets to pet them all before going home
- They fight EXTREMELY well together, they did even when they weren’t getting along, but they’re like bread and butter now that they do. diluc covers kaeya’s blind side and tanks for him while he zips around.
- That being said, no one’s perfect. an abyss herald managed to get thru his guard once and knocked kaeya into a wall hard enough to knock him out.
- Diluc murdered it.
- Childe of course wanted to fight when he came to mondstadt. he’s battle hungry so ofc he wants to fight the guy who managed to rampage thru snezhnaya and survive harbingers and the effects of a delusion without his vision. he values his friendship with the traveler so he doesn’t actually want to piss diluc off, but he does goad him into a fight a lil bit.
- Diluc beats the piss out of him.
- Kaeya cheers him on the entire time and starts laughing when childe literally flips head over tailbone and falls in the dirt at one point. he and childe get along like a house on fire, he just loves seeing his older brother win, plus childe cheated at poker the night before. now that he’s watching there is absolutely no way diluc is letting this fatui punk beat him
- Childe gets stepped on. rip childe. kaeya gives him an ice pack and tells him not to make his brother mad ever
- Something something dragonspine, something something avalanche. kaeya comes to and doesn’t see diluc but finds his vision in the snow. he doesn’t panic at first. then it gets very dim because diluc + traveler were off fighting and he got knocked a good one and a grand hour later kaeya groups up with them and starts crying and blubbering and shocks everyone there who came along because he’s never done anything like it. anyway that’s how diluc learns kaeya literally kept his vision with him *at all times* when he was in snezhnaya and was seized with panic every time diluc came near death and his vision grew dim
- Diluc feels kind of like a piece of shit. but his brother’s still crying so he stands there holding him for a while and then takes him out to eat and probably buys him way too many things he wants at market
- Diluc spoils his family. he can’t help it. he pretends to still tease kaeya and tell him to buy his own shit with his captain’s salary but he will drop millions of mora on something kaeya wants without hesitation
- Kaeya spoils children. he can’t help it. especially klee. that’s where his salary goes. he pretends he doesn’t but 90% of each paycheck goes towards buying klee + random children things. when diluc finally notices he has to take a break and sit in the back room of the tavern for a while because it’s fucking adorable, okay? but kaeya does not ever ask for anything, which makes diluc’s spending seem extremely random and insane. he gets anything kaeya looks at longer than two seconds as a gift. doesn’t always give them at once, stockpiles them so he always has something on hand to leave in the captain’s office if he seems like he needs a pick me up, but anyone who looks at his books thinks he’s insane (elzer)
- They are trapped in a constant battle of diluc trying to get kaeya to spend more time in the winery manor. oh, of course kaeya has visited. for business and to tease him. but he still sometimes feels like he doesn’t belong because he’s insecure and diluc just wants him around.
- Adelinde is awoken late at night by loud arguing. “it’s not even midnight, I can walk back to the city” “THE ROADS ARE DANGEROUS” she witnesses diluc bodily carrying kaeya inside by force and decides to say nothing. not her circus not her monkeys
- The next day she hears loud arguing outside and looks out the window to see kaeya clutching his head bent over and diluc trying to chase childe off his property. the traveler and their companions do absolutely nothing to stop this and even seem to think it’s funny. apparently, childe is not very proficient with his bow and accidentally nailed kaeya in the noggin with the blunt of it. she sighs and gets ready to go make peace. her circus her monkeys
- Diluc is a one man heater. he is tired of seeing kaeya pretend not to shiver on dragonspine. why do they even need to come explore here so much? what is the traveler’s fascination with this stupid mountain? he opens up his coat while they’re standing around waiting for the others and just goes “come here”
- Kaeya is a one man cooler. it is the height of summer. diluc’s dress shirt is coated in sweat but he tries not to let anyone see how uncomfortable he is. then he realizes kaeya’s vision has a very similar effect to his own in winter environments and he stands there trying to find the right words for a while before kaeya looks at him and seems concerned because he apparently looks unwell. “are you all right??” cue someone walking past angel’s share and seeing diluc practically passed out on a bench, his coat and gloves gone, leaning on kaeya while he holds an actively chilling hand across his forehead. master diluc seems to have fallen asleep
- On the rare occasion kaeya does fall asleep in the tavern - because he does not ever get drunk, unless he’s with rosaria and has no work, but sometimes he’s especially tired - you might see the bartender carrying him home, having given him his own coat to keep warm in, arms wrapped around him carefully, as if he’s holding something precious
- Add your own ragbros getting along headcanons with me get that shit out of the tags we need more nice things here in this corner of the fandom 😭
A/B/O fanfiction except that instead of people’s ~uncontrollable animal instincts~ being rape-y possessive psuedo-wolf bullshit, it’s all based on birds
a bunch of broody intense alphas building nests like bowerbirds and doing ridiculous mating dances and song competitions to win over omegas going into heat, please
I deeply, deeply enjoy the concept of bowerbird alphas, and how that turns the Turbo Perposterone on its head.
Alpha: YOU MENTIONED MISSING YOUR GRANDMA’S PORCH, I HAVE A PORCH, YES, I’VE ALWAYS HAD A PORCH AND THE SWING AND THE FIRE PIT, IT’S JUST UHHHHH NEW PAINT
Alpha: HEY BORROW MY EXTRA GLOVES, WHY YES THEY’RE HOMEMADE, ARE THEY NOT THE WARMEST AND YOUR FAVORITE COLOR, YOU CAN KEEP THEM
Omega: I get really grumpy and a homebody before my heat. I really just wanna hole up somewhere comfortable
Alpha: I HAVE MADE MY HOUSE MORE PHYSICALLY COMFORTABLE THAN YOUR HOUSE AND ALSO TASTEFULLY DECORATED, ARE YOU NOT PLEASED
Omega: Kinda insulted, kinda horny, sure
First, I love this, second, I’m now imagining omegas getting wibbly over alphas who wear REALLY obnoxiously brightly-coloured shirts and break into song Broadway-style in public. The more elaborate the hat your alpha wiill wear for you, the sexier.
Okay, this is much more tolerable.
????? Snarky are you okay?
My mom passed away this September and I cope with bad humor so like. No but yes.
my mom may have died but you bet your ass I’ll still laugh at your mom jokes. What of it.

Tama is boss
THE TRAINS HAVE CARTOON TAMAS ON THEM
Sad update everyone, Tama recently passed away… An estimated 3,000 people, including railway officials, attended Tama the cat’s funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]
For those who haven’t read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. She’s now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.
Beautiful.
Now I’m crying thanks
and a new cat was hired right?
yep! her name is Nitama (essentially ”second tama” or “tama II”) and she served under Tama as an apprentice before being appointed her deputy
she works very hard
Everytime this crosses my dash, I reblog. It is the law.
I’m crying at 11pm over train cats
Nitama, already now a mature cat (born 2010), has a protege named Yontama (fourth Tama, b. 2016). There is no information available for either the physical befellment or tragic self-disgrace which has removed Santama from contention.
^Nitama majestic, and below with Yontama
Yontama.
a legacy
okay but actually what happened to santama (or sun-tama-tama, which is her name because it’s a pun on santama) was that she was basically sent to train for the position in okayama and they liked her so much they refused to send her back
“Sun-tama-tama” (a pun off of “Santama”, lit. “third Tama”) was a calico cat sent for training in Okayama. Sun-tama-tama was considered as a candidate for Tama’s successor, but the Okayama Public Relations representative who had been caring for Sun-tama-tama refused to give the cat up writing, “I will not let go of this child, she will stay in Okayama.” [25]
As of September 2018, Sun-tama-tama is working as the stationmaster in Naka-ku, Okayama and appears occasionally on Tama’s Twitter account.
Every time I see this post there’s new info and it gets better
You are only allowed to scroll pass this after you pay tribute to the great Tama Station masters.
The shrine of Tama Daimyōjin (Great gracious deity Tama), next to the Kishi station where she worked.
Nitama presenting her yearly offerings to Tama Daimyōjin on the anniversary of Tama’s Death, June 23 (The offerings are presented by the company president, as Nitama is a cat and thus can’t hold the offerings herself) (Not pictured, but also present, Yontama)
you cannot pass without reblogging guys. i’m sorry, i don’t make the rules.
