I’m sick of D&D’s bullshit, honestly.
dany: lives her whole life in exile, living on the streets starving with her sexually abusive brother who was driven into insanity with the thought of re-gaining their family’s fallen legacy
dany: sold as a sex slave
dany: loses her husband just as things are starting to become loving
dany: loses her child as well as any chance to have another child
dany: is constantly insulted and harassed for being a female ruler
dany: loses 1/3 of her dragons while saving jon
dany: goes to protect winterfell with everything she has, leaving her kingdoms vulnerable to the max, only to be bombarded with xenophobes and sexism and the mad king’s daughter insults
dany: loses her claim to the iron throne and all she had ever built towards and been told to live for, all to the love of her life who does not even want it, but he has a dick so hes got it
dany: loses 99% of the Dothraki and Unsullied and the one man who had stuck with her through all her hardships who only cared about her safety and belief in her reign, all to protect the xenophobes against her previously murdered, zombified child and new slave master; something of which she had been banning for,,, the whole series
dany: sees that her claim to the iron throne is even more weakened by the way her opponent, someone whom she still loves and does not want the throne, is around his followers
dany: is constantly questioned with her state of mind
dany: is constantly being questioned about her idea of rule, despite it being needed at this point
dany: needs to beg jon to not destroy the claim for something he doesnt even want…only for him to not listen to her anyway
dany: is constantly snarked by s/nsa for literally existing
dany: is forced to go onto a ship with her advisors that are for some reason, fearing her rule
dany: watches yet another, 2/3 dragon fall a brutal death into the sea right in front of her, plus most of her fleet coming to follow her to the red keep
dany: is not able to avenge either dragons’ deaths - both being by the names of her brothers, aka her only family shed known
dany: takes the remaining 40 men to attempt to save her innocent friend
dany: loses her innocent friend violently just for cersei to prove a point
dany: starts to lose sanity
everyone:
LMAO 😂😂
so suppose that everything goes to shit in episode 8x05 and 8x06 (like it will). dany burns down king’s landing, jon kills her, tryrion is executed, maybe we get cleganebowl, i don’t know. point is, everyone dies and the whole show is ruined.
then: smash cut to bran, sitting at the table in winterfell. it’s the beginning of episode 8x01. he is surrounded by everyone (dany, jon, sansa, tyrion, missandei, jorah, arya etc.). they all look horrified.
he goes: “and that’s what happens if we don’t get our shit together.” everyone is like ‘damn, we better start working together and not act completely ooc’.
so they do. they defeat the night king. they defeat cersei. jon and dany become king and queen of the seven kingdoms, sansa rules the north. missandei and grey worm sail for naath. jaime gets his shit together. bran keeps creeping out everybody at winterfell. everyone is happy.
so yes, what i’m suggesting is that game of thrones literally pulls a ‘twilight: breaking dawn - part 2’ so we’re spared all this stupid fucking nonsense

Some of the best writing advice I ever got was if you’re stuck on a scene or a line, the problem is actually about 10 lines back and that’s saved me from writer’s block so many times.
@dearly, here you go. :)
Thank you for sharing thought, this is kinda help for people who just wanna express their creativity through fan stuff
How do you feel about people making James bisexual in head canons,fan fiction and fan art? Or generally what’s your opinion on people making canon gay characters bi or straight in fan made things? :,)
This is kind of a weird one, and I’m gonna waffle all over the place!
Like, I personally, as a gay, feel slightly weird when a canon gay character is portrayed as hetro/bisexual, like it feels wrong in my heart. I think this feeling likely comes from the fact that gay characters are a minority by far, we get so few wins with portrayals in fiction, that the sensation of ‘losing’ even one of them feels like injustice. Which like, isn’t what seeing a fan work is, but it FEELS like that sometimes.
And the flipside, is I pretty much always go ”lol cute” when I see characters that are canonically straight shipped as gay. Because LGBT characters are in the minority, it feels like if that like, offends anyone, it’s punching UP, because LGBT people don’t have the power in the world, nor the bulk of fictional character portrayals. Like how it’s generally acceptable to laugh at the folly of the rich, but not to laugh at the folly of the poor. LGBT people are “poor” in terms of sheer representation compared to heterosexual people.
This probably isn’t fair though, to straight people that might feel uncomfortable when characters that are canonically straight are portrayed as gay. Maybe due to their privileged position their complaints shouldn’t get as much weight (there’s always some other straight character out there for them) but it’s worth considering at least a little, and if they aren’t hateful about their feelings, to at least respect them.
So I don’t know, I wouldn’t ever ship James as straight, but here I am enjoying fanart of canon straight characters smooching each other’s same gendered faces so who knows really. I think the bottom line is if no one is being an asshole about it what’s the harm. If you’re doing a non-canon ship (and especially one that is counter to their canon sexuality) as long as it’s acknowledged as just fan stuff, and not like, hardcore theory crafting about why they’re ACTUALLY STRAIGHT/GAY FOR REAL then it’s harmless.
(or we just assume all fictional characters ever are bisexual and just roll with it)

Someone: So what is your novel? Middle grade? YA? Adult? NA?
Me:
Quick sloppy drawin before work
by mysterylover123
I never expected to like NaruSaku. When I first started reading the series, I was aware of the fandom’s big pairings (NaruSasu, Sasusaku, Naruhina) and I assumed they were the ones I’d enjoy. But reading the series, slowly, bit by bit, scene by scene, NaruSaku won me over, to become one of my favorite anime pairings. I’m sad they didn’t get together, but I still love the scenes they share, and reading fanfics and doujinshis about what could have been. Hope you enjoy this top 15 moments list!
#15. Ramen Stand Feeding Scene
What Happens: Naruto is injured and Sakura offers to feed him. He gets excited about this prospect, but they’re interrupted by Sai.
Why I like it: It’s this moment of intimacy between the two - kind of simple, but I like how Sakura initiates it and he blushes and accepts. Sakura is someone who likes taking care of other people, and Naruto is someone who has never been cared for like this. They seem like a pretty perfect match.
#14. The Promise of a Lifetime
What Happens: Sakura asks Naruto to please bring Sasuke home. Naruto promises to do it, and this motivates him throughout the Retrieval Arc. Possibly much of the rest of the series.
Why I like it: It is not Sakura’s best move for sure, but it’s a sign of Naruto willingly putting her needs above his own, with no hope of her ever returning his feelings. It’s such a sweet moment of his promising her to bring Sasuke back, and seems to identify retrieving Sasuke as the barrier to them being together. I think he refuses to try and be with her until the end (or would have) because he wants her to choose him for him, not because Sasuke wasn’t available.
#13. The 10th Question
What Happens: When answering the 10th question, Sakura isn’t sure if Naruto can pass, and is willing to throw away their chance this year to protect his dream of becoming Hokage. His resolve, however, inspires her to keep moving forward.
Why I like it: Sakura was willing to throw away her shot to protect Naruto’s dream. Naruto’s willpower inspires her to move forward, and later in this arc to cut off her hair and beat up the villains to protect him. They have such a mutually reciprocal bond. (Also, he liked her short hair, while Sasuke was said to like long hair. Symbolism much?)
#12. The Bench Scene
What Happens: Naruto, disguised as Sasuke, flirts with Sakura. She confesses her feelings and he realizes why he likes her so much.
Why I like it: Just as Sakura is feeling insecure about her ‘large forehead’, Naruto comes along and tells her he finds it charming and wants to kiss it. He’s attracted to the very feature she’s ashamed of. He likes even the parts of her she doesn’t like. And he empathizes with her need for belonging.
#11. Naruto vs Gaara
What Happens: Naruto finds the strength to defeat Gaara while fighting to protect Sakura.
Why I Like it: Got a real soft spot for characters finding their strength protecting their love interest. Here, Naruto is able to call upon strength he hadn’t known before and fight Gaara to keep Sakura safe.
#10. Love Confession
What Happens: To stop Naruto from dying for his promise, after hearing from Sai that he loves her, Sakura takes him aside and tells him she loves him. He believes she’s lying and shuts her down.
Why I like it: Honestly, even though the story tells me her confession was fake, her blush and sheepish body language, along with all her attraction to and behavior towards him before this, convinces me this was real. But since it’s officially not, I’m ranking it a little lower. Still, it’s a full blown ‘I love you’, hard not to enjoy that. And I think she does love him, platonically or not.
#9. Chunin Exams
What Happens: During the Chunin Exams, Naruto and Sakura both yell out their support to each other during their matches.
Why I Like it: Sakura’s able to beat Ino because Naruto supports her. Nobody at the time believes in Naruto to win, except for Sakura, who cheers him on. They’ve got each other’s backs.
#8. Minato Scene
What Happens: Minato sees Sakura healing Naruto and asks if she’s his GF. He says kinda and she doesn’t deny it. He says she reminds him of Kushina.
Why I like it: Naruto and Sakura don’t deny that they’re dating when asked. Minato notices that she’s similar to Kushina (since Naru wasn’t raised by Kushina, this doesn’t even have the potentially creepy ‘wants mom’ aspect). Instead it’s just ‘this girl could make my son a good wife’. It’s really cute.
#7. Shippuden Reunion
What Happens: Naruto and Sakura reunite after a few years apart. They’re all grown up now. She blushes at him and he tells her she doesn’t look different.
Why I like it: Sakura finds him attractive now that they’re all grown up. He’s always found her pretty, so he says she looks the same. I wouldn’t be into the pairing if it didn’t seem like she was attracted to him too, but she clearly is right here. It’s great.
#6. Yamato Line
What happens: As Sakura is healing Naruto, Iruka says the above rather ambiguous line, hinting that he was about to ‘you love him’ or something similar.
Why I like it: There’s some very well-placed ambiguity here, gently implying that Sakura’s feelings for Naruto are not platonic any more, or at the very least extremely powerful.
#5. Someone Precious
What Happens: After training for a while to impress Sakura, Naruto happens on Haku, who asks him if he has ‘someone precious’ that he’s training for. He realizes he does.
Why I like it: This entire arc is so focused on how having someone in your life you care about is key to success in life (also the whole series). For Naruto, this is Team 7, predominantly Sakura at this point. She’s “someone precious” to him. (I also enjoy her helping him complete the task, and him complementing her strength. It’s sweet).
#4. Heaven and earth scrolls
What Happens: Iruka explains how Naruto has the ‘earth’ scroll and Sakura the ‘heaven’ scroll. They basically complete each other.
Why I Like it: I love pairings that are able to complete each other and encourage the other to do their best. This seems to be saying that Naruto and Sakura are two halves of the same whole and will make each other better together than they would be apart.
#3. CPR Scene
What happens: As Naruto is dying, Sakura in a desperate mood and determined to save him gives him CPR and pumps his heart back to life.
Why I like it: She proclaims that she wants him to achieve his dreams and pumps his heart until he revives. She literally holds his heart in her hand and presses her lips to his. She makes his dreams come true.
#2. Heaven and earth Bridge
What happens: Naruto goes out of control with worry over Sasuke. Sakura, feeling like this is her fault, runs over to him and is accidentally injured by Kyuubi. Later on, she lies to Naruto to make him feel better, but when he learns that he hurt her he resolves to try harder to control himself.
Why I like it: It’s a great scene of concern on her part for him, and it showcases his concern for her. I also enjoy the bit where he compliments her for her medical prowess and strength, but flubs it up by calling it ‘monstrous’.
#1. Invasion of Pain
What Happens: During the Pain Invasion, Sakura is desperate and calls out for Naruto. Once he saves the village, she goes up to him and hugs him (post tsundere moment) and thanks him.
Why I love it: It’s just sweet and simple. It feels like in this moment she really chooses to be with him, and shows her appreciation for him. He looks so happy and surprised at finally being hugged by the girl he likes, and it’s very pure. Even Hinata smiled at it, she seemed happy. I enjoyed it so much and it makes me smile.
them: you don’t watch game of thrones?? really? how come?
me:
Clementine limps back to where they came out of the cave, relying on the axe to support half of her weight. She feels a wave of exhaustion wash over her body as she sluggishly pushes herself forward. Her breathing is short and heavy with every ounce of strength she uses to drag her leg another couple of inches at a time.
The urge to collapse is stronger than she’s ever felt before, but the thought of AJ waiting for her at the school forces her to go on and on, even when it feels like an eternity.
“Fuck…” She groans, stopping momentarily to breathe deeply. It only makes it even more of a struggle to start walking again.
“Clementine…?” A familiar voice resonates from the somewhere behind her. James lingers in the opening of the cave. He wasn’t sure if she heard him or was ignoring him, or why she was limping. Putting his own internal conflict aside, he rushes to help her. “Clem, what happened?!”
He kneels to look closely at her bleeding leg.
“Who did this to you?”
“Have… to get… to AJ…” She heaves.
“AJ. Where is he? The school?” His voice is breathless yet steady and slow, quite the contrast to his usual uncertainty and whispering.
“We got… separated. I told him… and Tenn… to go to the school…” She forces the words from her constricted throat and her voice trails off into dry, painful coughing and gasping.
“Here…” Without a further word, James returns to his feet, fastening the axe to his hip before hoisted Clementine up into his arms. She’s hesitant, but doesn’t have much of a choice if she wants to see AJ again. Plus, finally being able to rest would be great.
And before she knows it, she falls unconscious. James glances down at her sleeping face against his chest, swaying slightly with every careful footstep. He knows that she can’t him, but…
“Clementine… I’m sorry.” He tears his eyes away from her helpless form. “I was wrong.”
~
Her eyes crack open a few minutes into the walk, and widen in surprise when she sees that he is still carrying her with no complaint. Though, new trails of sweat creep down his face. She watches quietly for a moment.
“Thank you.” Her voice is weak and little, yet startles James. She tries not to chuckle for her poor throat’s sake. “Who knew you had all this hidden strength under the walker skins?” She teases in an attempt to keep things from getting uncomfortably serious again.
“We should be there soon.” He speaks in a low voice, just loud enough for her to hear from his arms. “I hope they made it there safely.”
Clementine smiles up at his consideration. It’s baffling that this is the same guy who threw her to the ground, elbowed her in the face, and tried to take AJ not even two hours ago.
“I can.. try to walk again. If you’re tired.” She notes, but then both of their gazes fall on her sliced leg. It had gone numb a while ago, which she knew was a bad sign, but it seemed like a blessing considering how long it’s taking to get back to the school.
“No, I’ve got you.”
~
“Oh my god- Clem!” Ruby cries from the gate, throwing it open and making way for James to come inside. She starts keeping up pace with them, leading him to Clementine and AJ’s room. “AJ told me what happened on the bridge, oh god, Louis…”
“So they’re okay? AJ and Tenn?” James asks.
“AJ is… But…” She opens the door to their dorm room. “He says Tenn ran off after you guys were separated. I hope he’s okay…”
He groans as he lowers himself to his knees and places Clementine onto the lower bunk, and once she’s out of his grip both his arms and legs feel weightless. He steps back as Ruby starts examining her leg.
The sound of small footsteps patter closer to the door and finally AJ bursts into the room, practically flying past James and Ruby, and straight to Clementine.
James suddenly feels a familiar discomfort poking at the back of his mind. That he doesn’t belong here. He isn’t wanted.
“I’ll look for Tenn.” He sweeps the unreasonable worries under a metaphorical rug.
“By yourself?” Ruby glances over her shoulder. “Let me send someone out with you. It’s safer.”
“I’ll be okay.” He slides his mask on.
“Oh, right. Walker mask… Gotcha.”
He turns to leave the room, placing a hand on the heavy wooden door, but stops in his tracks when Clementine asks him to wait. He slowly turns around, peering through the holes in his mask. She stares past AJ and Ruby, silently requesting that he comes to her side. He does, and kneels down to AJ’s height, intently watching her slowed movements. He hadn’t realized how pale she’s gotten from the blood loss, and now that he does he’s worried all over again. She wraps one arm around AJ, pulling him in, and then does the same with James, squeezing the boys in a double hug.
“Eh, heh…” James tries to think of something to say, but his mind is drawn to a blank.
“I’m glad you’re back, Clem.” AJ smiles, refusing to let her go again.
She pulls away, giving AJ a kiss on his cheek, and before James can react, he gets a quick kiss on the cheek of his mask too. The same mask hides his flustered expression as he stands to his feet and turns around.
“Did you just kiss the walker skin?!” Ruby exclaims, causing Clementine to giggle a little before having another coughing fit.
“I’ll get you some water.” AJ stands up and rushes out the door. James steps out behind after him, letting out a long, emotionally conflicted sigh.
i love my mutuals because we never talk but we still… like… follow each other……….. and i admire that we stick together even tho there is no communication in the slightest………u kno what i mean… hello…
Gabe: Dad, can you pass the salt
*David and Javi both reach for it*
Gabe: *Takes salt from Javi* thanks Javi, sorry dad
David: * Holding back tears* It’s fine
Unpopular opinion: What I hate to see (but probably will happen anyways lol cuz Shonen manga you know) is Armin and Mikasa forgive Eren after knowing his “true intentions”. In chapter 116 it is made clear that Armin and Mikasa start to realize Eren’s words cannot be taken at face value, and Jean and Connie remind them they are still the most important people to Eren. A protagonist deliberately acts as a villain, hurts himself and everyone around him but in fact sincerely aims for good for his friends — this is such a trope in Shonen manga. The ones who are hurt will eventually embrace their friendship again, and thus their bonds strengthened *Eyes my poor son Killua as well as Naruto and Sakura*. Imo it is also not a good plot design if Isayama amends the rupture between EMA so soon after their argument (which is written so heartbreakingly that you keep wondering how can they even go back to what they used to be.) In the end it will feel like the shiganshina separation leaves no imprint in the entire story.
Um, thanks but no.

AUTHOR’S NOTES: RivaMika in Shoujo Manga-Style
This comic is set a few days after Levi and Mikasa begin to date - and what their first kiss is like.
Mikasa is a little OOC because she’s too timid here. The timing is several years after she joins the Survey Corps (She has also managed to disconnect her own life from Eren’s). Under these circumstances, her hair has also become longer.
I haven’t drawn for several years so apologies for any regression in my art skills. Despite that, I’m still submitting this with a pretty unstressed heart, because I got sick three times while drawing all these and just wanted to see them completed…

This beast is finally done o(-(
we were supposed to animate a page from a children’s storybook for class, and like a chump I chose the highly complex illustrations of Beatrix Potter;;;;;;
Anyways, I actually really like how this came out, especially for how much time I had (a week) and how little experience i have with this program :0
first of all, love your writing! your angst gives me actual pain in my chest. second, would you take a request for james returning and seeing clem without her leg? (perhaps he remembers what he said about breaking her leg in the cave :]c)
Awh, thank you love! That’s the sweetest compliment I’ve ever received! I sure would; more angst, comin’ right up!
However, I noticed something, this ask also does not specify whether it’s headcannons or imagines. Again, I’ll let it slide, but this is the second and last time I will be doing so, everyone! Only because this request is really cool, pffft.
When James returned to his barn, the last thing he expected to see was Clementine, sitting on the ground, bleeding out, her own severed leg casually laying next to her.
He’d completely frozen, looking at the unconscious girl with wide eyes.
James raced to her side, completely forgetting about their argument in the cave.
He cups her cheek and moves her head to face him, heart beating far too fast for it to be natural.
“Clementine?” He whispers, not realizing how shaken he was until his voice left him wobbly and unstable.
She did not respond.
He would place a hand at her neck or wrist to check for a pulse, but he doesn’t know where to put it.
The Whisperers weren’t too big on caring for the injured.
He settled for placing his ear to her chest to listen for a heartbeat.
At that same moment, a groan sounded from above him.
He jumped backwards, away from her.
“James?” She called drowsily, eyes not quite open but still a relieving hazel.
Said boy released a breath he did not know he had been holding.
“You’re alive,” he breathed, then looked down, “your leg…”
She chuckled humorlessly. “Hope you weren’t still planning on breaking it.”
James flinched.
“Clementine, I–”
“Forget it, James.”
“No,” he says sternly.
He reaches for her hand and sighs.
“You could have died,” he murmurs, horrified at his own words, “and your last memory of me would have been…”
“Aren’t you still mad?” Clementine asks, tilting her head.
“Who cares?” James answers, hugging her instead.
First of all, why the fuck isn’t James a love interest? WHY THE FUCK ISN’T JAMES A-
all of us after the trailer: omg james is gonna sacrifice himself, the cut on his hand is to attract walkers omg g g g
james: *shifts into sicko mode and steals your child*
Figure 1.3: Sweet summer children about to walk through a herd for the very first time
The obligatory gut smearing in every season will probably be skipped since we have James. I really admire him sticking to his beliefs. The Whisperers were a fucked up group but James is compassionate and peaceful.
Excited James is so cute😊😊 Of course Clem flexing is too😍although she did get a bit too excited with her idea…
I ship Mitch and James together. Don’t think I need to say anything else.
