The green woman has revealed herself to be an absolutely dogshit liar. She's showing off her canonically very big naturals at the first opportunity, and honestly good for her. She's trying very hard to save the biological son she hasn't seen in some time. Certain portions of the fandom are furious she has priorities other than her Wizard companion, because they hate women in general and women of color in specific.

*grabs you all by the shoulders desperately* I NEED ALL YOU YOI FANS TO FREAK OUT WITH ME ABOUT THE ABSOLUTE HISTORY THAT WAS MADE AN HOUR AGO. I am losing my entire fucking mind. I saw it live onscreen and I haven’t been able to focus on anything else since.

Basically, Both Yuma Kagiyama and Ilia Malinin absolutely BOMBED the free program. They were the favorites for gold, with Ilia edging out Yuma a bit. The news has been nothing but “Quad God Ilia for Gold” for fucking months. Yuma still managed to squeak into silver. But Ilia. That poor boy. 7 quads planned, only managed 4, and one didn’t count as it was a repeat element. Ilia just doesn’t. Do that. He doesn’t pop and fall on jump after jump like that. He finished 8th. EIGHTH!! I am still shooketh.

But that meant. This man. This absolute legend.

This man skated an AMAZING free skate, and brought home the first Olympic Gold for Kazakhstan of ANY kind since the 90s, and the first Olympic Figure Skating Gold for Kazakhstan IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. He was favored for bronze as he’s had a fantastic season. But. Nobody NOBODY could have predicted this gold medal.

I’m also happy for Shun Sato, who was so convinced he’d failed to the tune of 5th or 6th place after his free that he took his skates off. He had to SCRAMBLE with all the cameras on him to get them back on to go get his Olympic bronze. And he CRIED LIKE A BABY WHICH I DON’T BLAME HIM!!

For all the complete shock that this was, all the top men exhibited some real kindness and sportsmanship. Ilia and Mikhail immediately met each other in the Kiss and Cry after Ilia’s score came in for Ilia to congratulate and Mikhail to comfort him. And all three of the medalist boys were clearly trying to keep each other together through their shock backstage before the medal ceremony. They were all very sweet.

Anyway. I am not over this over an hour later. I am not going to be over this for DAYS. Utterly bonkers. Upside down world. I can’t believe I watched Figure Skating history live with my own two eyes. I’m only jealous of my fandom friend who got to be there in person when it happened.

"Niall Lynch was handsome and charismatic and rich and mysterious, and one day, he was dragged from his charcoal-gray BMW and beaten to death with a tire iron. It was a Wednesday. On Thursday, his son Ronan found his body in the driveway."

finally finished a painting i've been cooking in my mind for a few years! shadowgast as The Devil, one of my favorite tarot cards and one of the three cards i associate with their relationship

i'm not much for divination but i love the story-telling aspect of tarot, and one of my favorite visual metaphors of The Devil is how loose the chains around the two figures' necks are. they're not kept bound. it's that possibility to choose that i find so significant, and so fitting for the story of these two wizards. to say you're not defined by your past is to say you're born with all the choices you make; but to say you are forever defined by it is to deny yourself the right to change. the chains around your neck might be very heavy, but the choice to shrug them off is always yours to take.

“Being a family member in the back story of a Liam O'brien character is the deadliest occupation in the united states, just ahead of Commercial Crab Fishing and professional chainsaw juggling on ice.”

Vin feature requested by anon (possibly anon x 2) :)

Are you feeling lost? Do you wish you had life advice from the Era 1 hero herself, Vin? Well, here is a collection of advice straight from the woman herself!

Your partner should not love you despite your murders but because of them.

A woman does not need to choose between polite society and crime. She can have it all.

A woman does not need to choose between femininity and unfemininity. She can have it all.

Big swords are inherently cool.

Horses are inherently uncool.

You do not need to engage with your in-laws if they are cruel to you. Cut them off. (Or in half.)

A dog is not a gift or a toy. It is an eternal commitment.

A family you make can be better than the family you are born with.

You don't have to listen to your biological family. Especially when they are speaking to you via a disembodied voice and also they have been dead for years.

You should try to understand others, even your enemies. It may give you the tools to defeat them.

Everybody you meet has something to teach you. Let them.

You do not need to get along with your partner's exes. You can kill them.

If someone feels unreciprocated love for you, that is not your problem.

Sometimes the current reality feels impossible to change. Reject that feeling. Grab reality by the throat. Bend it to your will.

Finished this after months with the time in between school. I started this during the summer when I finished Mistborn: Hero of Ages.
