Don’t go wasting your emotion

Hard pill to swallow, maybe, but sometimes you are the problem. You may not have been initially, but people around you can only have so much endurance for understanding why you're "like that" and how you got to where you are now. Even if you were the one who was victimized, hurt, or abused to begin with, your behavior affects those around you. There's a point at which personal responsibility needs to kick in, or you will become toxic. You can become toxic even if you never become an abuser yourself. If other people are constantly having to help dig you out of the holes you made but you keep slapping their hands away, you cannot expect them to have an indefinite amount of patience and energy to keep trying. If you're not putting in the work to recover from what damaged you; if everyone else in your life is consistently the only one making a real effort to effect change for you--you're the problem.

Omg ur grace is that u aha

Thinking about how it's possible that Wriothesley's trauma manifests in him being a man of action. He's always so decisive and tends to handle anything dangerous personally. It makes me wonder if he always thinks about the other children that he wasn't fast enough to save before he managed to kill the people that raised him. Perhaps he's not intentionally self destructive, but I feel like, perhaps, he shoulders the weight of every failure and keeps it with him, reminding him that he needs to be better, DO better, despite him already being enough.

This one took me a while to draw but I wanted a good represention of Arlecchino

every time someone mischaracterizes nuanced character relationships and turns it into a basic parent-child dynamic, i die a little inside

my main gripe with this is about nahida being called scara's mom/aunt but it also extends to zhongli & xiao, wriothesley & sigewinne, neuvillette & furina, etc.

like. i enjoy found family as much as everyone else but that is a terrible injustice to the characters' writing. the character typecast as the child is infantilized to hell and back while the other character is reduced to a 2d caricature of the perfect parent. Bruh

don't get me wrong, headcanons are fine and all, it just irks me that some people consider it lore accurate when it really isn't

Growing up is actually all about realizing people don’t inherently dislike you and it’s a bit odd to assume they do

contrary to popular belief i think a ladybug dakimakura would he where chat draws the line. yes he can have a shrine for her in his bedroom but a daki feels inappropriate.

so obviously ladybug responds to this discomfort by personally designing and gifting him the most outrageous ladybug dakimakura. and like. what is he meant to do. it's a gift from his lady. he accepts it but he refuses to make eye contact with it ever.

this came to me in a fever dream and i couldn't stop thinking about it till i made it
