Can we just talk about this scene again in light of the last episode, and “Maybe even finally get our feelings sorted out! Good for you, by the way, we’re all sooo happy for you!”??? *Everyone* gets to have an uninterrupted reunion with everyone else, meanwhile Ruby turns to hug Oscar and…something comes up. Something *always* comes up for Ruby because she’s the leader and she has to deal with things while everyone else gets to have their moments in the background. Emerald’s not a problem, Ruby’s got this. She can handle it. Who cares about what she wants? Ruby needs to handle the potential threat and get to the bottom of what’s going on. Ruby has to put the needs of the group over her own. This is *Ruby’s* responsibility, hugs can wait.
But…Oscar’s in the same position. He goes to hug Ruby and something comes up. Oscar has to deal with this and explain while everyone else gets to relax. Hugs can wait.
In conclusion, Rosegarden 🌹🌲
Notes
- wounds on the mouth means they've said something wrong
- wounds on the ears mean they've heard something wrong
- wounds on, in, or around the eyes means they've seen something wrong.
-Wounds on their hands can mean many things, from thieves all the way to murderers.
- open wounds and constant bleeding mean the pain is fresh or still hurting them
- bruses mean they have been physically abused in that spot
- wounds on their head and above their heart mean mental and emotional pain.
- cuts on wrists mean attempted suicide or thoughts of suicide
- The more severe the wounds the more painful the memory.

These were facts I figured out the hard way. I guess I thought I could use my gift to heal everyone. I made it my life goal to help the people with their wounds.
Often I would see wounds heal and stop bleeding. A few times I've seen scars fade. Even seeing a little cut fade away made me smile because I can say I've tried and helped.
I guess I had to learn the hard way that I couldnt help everyone.

I had a routine before I went to work. In my undergarment I'd look in the mirror and focus.
My lips have been torn off and the remaining skin stitched shut. My ears were mangled, they look like they've got into a shreader. There were cuts over and around my eyes.
Those were the minor wounds. My neck had a bruise circling the front, a dark purple handprint. Other bruises littered my entire body. There were two hand print bruises on each side of my hips. My hands were mangled and broken beyond repair. Multiple deep cuts on my wrists.
But the worst wounds were my heart and head. Where my heart should be was a gaping hole, the shape of the rim made it look like someone had stuck their hand in my chest and pulled out my heart. On my forehead was a gun shot wound.
Each and every wound, even after all these years, still dripped blood.
I counted each and every single wound and recalled how I got them. Mental, physical, and emotional abuse. Forced actions. Rape. Death threats. Degradation from family, friends and strangets. Trauma. Self inflicted wounds. Multiple suicide attempts.

I take a deep breath and release. I put on my clothes and go to work.
I unlock a door that had the plack "Dr.-- Psychiatrist" mounted on the wall next to it. I flip the "Doctor is in" sign. I sit in my chair, look through files and checking my schedule.
I've dedicated my life to make sure no one else gets the same wounds I do. No one should suffer this way and if I can help then I will.
I know my patients can make it. After all, my 14 year old self has made it this far.
You’re born with the ability to see a person’s internal pain as if it were a physical injury. Most people have at least a few scratches, while some people look like they’ve fallen off of cliffs. One day, you see someone in the worst state you’ve ever seen anyone before.
*places this here so I can come back later*
oh wow i haven’t been on tumblr in so long bc mobile is shit but how tf did i forget abt ur art ??? fukcin blows me away wow. any tips on anatomy for a rly bad artist? ik practice, but i get so frustrated when it doesn’t look like what i see in my head :(
yeah lol mobile on tumblr sucks major ass now. i cant even publish drafts on there. and im in the same boat wiht you on anatomy lmao. it might look like i know what im doing, but sometimes not really. maybe im just good at deceiving ppl on the way i draw when its kinda inaccurate
anyway, i also struggle with never really composing the shit i want, and even i tell myself to go practice anatomy but im never really granted a lot of time in my life, so i gotta make use of whatever i can find whenever i draw.
this post is actually long, so if you just want anatomy resources, you can check these out:
stuff that i made tutorials/tips on: torso/hands/pose
these are all very condensed tutorials/tips, so a lot of this is just collection of stuff that i’ve learned/noticed from others. this might be helpful, but idk man
here’s a list of other resources for anatomy/any other refs
this one was mentioned in the list, but its easily looked over: posemaniacs, it has different modes you can try out (timed/casual study), and its good for practicing foundations in anatomy. i paid more attention to this one when i saw a twitter post of it
bodies in motion is a site you can also use. it has a catalog of images to see people acting something out, and you get to see all the frames of it occurring. even though you’re just looking at images, its still a reference to learn how arms, legs, or torsos move B^) its a good way to pay attention to the smaller details like the various muscles in bodies
and honestly, check out what other ppl say too. there’s a lot of artists out there who might’ve already wrote some shit that i mentioned or have new info that i never thought about. just type in “anatomy/art tips” into any kind of search bar and you’re sure to find something useful at some point. but main takeaway i really want you to have is to seriously study from life. dont do it based on memory or anything. there’s no other general advice that i can really give besides 1) practice 2) study from life 3) dont stress out and take your time. if you want me to give a specific tip/tutorial on a body part, i can try, but the amount of depth i can give is really based on my own knowledge of it

*everyone shuts up lest aizawa wreaks hell on them*
Aizawa: Good. Now, you can come in.
*auburn-haired motherfucker with a pink bird strolls in like he owns the place*
*midoriya jumps up, kicking his seat back, face splitting into a grin*
Midoriya: Oh my god!
Rody mfn Soul: Missed me?

Rody: Woah!
*pino, chirps happily*
Uraraka who's totally not jealous: Who's this?
Todoroki who definitely didn't ice over his desk: Rody Soul
Kaminari who isn't pouting: Who?
Bakugo who's definitely not burning the wood of his desk: Some wannabe motherfucker Deku met when we were in Otheon during the Humarise mission
Sero who's tempted to murder a mf: Is he?
*midoriya sets rody down, but still keeps his arms around his waist*
Midoriya: You didn't tell me you were coming?!
Rody: *chuckles, blushing* Wanted it to be a surprise
Iida who's so not affronted: Midoriya! Care to introduce us?
*midoriya spins around and blushes, letting go of rody. rody responds by wrapping an arm around midoriya's waist, without protest*
Midoriya: Oh, yeah. Guys, this is Rody Soul, my boyfriend.
Rody: Yo!
*collective silence*
Class 2-A: WHAT?!
