#... welp

Made a drawing to practice before finishing the drawing I was making so I wouldn't mess that one up.

... And then proceeded to make THIS to practice the coloring I wanted to use in said practice drawing so I wouldn't mess that one up.

Will Ozai and Sokka ever have a sit down conversation after everything is over?

STEPPING OUTSIDE   of her townhouse door just to see GLaDOS leaving from the adjacent dwelling had been a shock. Her body was still aching all over, and though there was no sign of infection or wounds anymore save for three light scars on her midsection, she’d at first hoped that it was just a fever dream. 

But it wasn’t--

And so Chell had turned tail and run. 

Running away from GLaDOS yet again. It’s just like old times. Times that she’d rather leave far behind her. But she can’t very well stay away from the monsters from her past when they happen to live next to her. 

She’s not usually one to show emotion. 

But after her ordeal on Haugst Isle, which left her physically and emotionally battered and scarred, it’s only natural that even Chell’s stoic defenses should be weakened. 

She’s completely in tears by the time she reaches the forest. And they’d already begun running down her cheeks before she’d turned away-- so the android most certainly saw. 

So, let her see. 

Chell’s in too much pain (pain that won’t stop, like it usually does, pain she can’t ignore, like she usually does), she’s too tired, everything hurts too much, and this is just the very last thing she needs to completely break down, to fall apart. She hasn’t done that in awhile. 

She collapses against a tree, slowly sinking to the ground, fingers digging into the leaves and soil as she sobs-- a harsh, strangled sound tearing itself from disused vocal chords, salty tears coursing down her face-- and she doesn’t hear GLaDOS’ approach until the AI speaks. 

That voice, that unbearably distinctive voice cuts through her sobs and laboured breathing, and sends a fresh wave of terror over her. GLaDOS had followed her. Chell falls silent. She doesn’t dare to turn around, doesn’t want to look at the monster that had tormented her, tested her, and tried to kill her. Doesn’t want to see those eyes. 

It’s somehow even more unnerving now that she looks almost human. 

No matter how often you read Tanabata legend, it doesn’t get less sad, so... I’m just happy Bleach’s Orihime gets a much happier ending than Tanabata’s Orihime. (lol)
