A year or two has passed. The evil is defeated. It’s been a very dark time indeed. But they’re ready to heal now.

And for the first time since they left, Bakugou and Kirishima see each other outside the battlefield. Both are stopped in their tracks, staring at each other as this realization hits them. Kirishima starts to open his mouth to say something, but he’s cut off by Bakugou hugging him. He’s startled at first, but it doesn’t take him long to hug him back, absolutely crushing him against his chest.

“I missed you,” Kirishima tells him, though that’s rather obvious. He expects to be laughed off anyway, so it’s fine.

ellie and tommy killed literally every person abby ever loved other than the kids she met two (2) days previous, in addition to legitimately countless WLF soldiers that had absolutely nothing to do with joel's death, just to get close enough to abby to try and kill her

also it is CRAZY offensive to compare the plot of a revenge video game between two white women to anything having to do with BLM/"""all lives matter"""

abby killed joel. and, again after the jackson crew killed LITERALLY EVERY PERSON SHE HAD EVER LOVED, jesse. that is 2 people, with one of them being in response to Ellie and Tommy going on a murder spree that killed 7 of her friends (plus Joel killing her dad.) you are like... objectively on the wrong side of "character A caused so much more hurt to character B"

okay so 

1. I’m referring to the way in which the game tells the story/provides the audience with this information, by spending multiple hours showing us Ellie’s trauma and the after-effect of that trauma, only to then backtrack it and show “but the other side” in a very lazy way that does not do enough to make the comparison they are trying to make, especially considering what Abby inflicted on Ellie was revenge for something Ellie did not do/had no choice in.

2. I’m pretty sure I’m allowed to react to a form of media coming out with a story of “all sides”/”hurt is hurt” during a time in which me and my people are being forced to deal with that kind of weak ass argument being used against us in real life.

Same Prompt Party: January 2021

Prompt: Usagi Tsukino “New Year’s Fireworks”

One of my goals for 2021 is to use my watercolors more often.  So I decided that @docholligay‘s Same Prompt Party this year was a good place to start out.

This is a Sailor Moon fanart, for the January 2021 prompt of “Usagi Tsukino / New Year’s Fireworks”.  I went very literal on this interpretation.

Scenario: Ami gifted Usagi a fancy new polaroid camera, with the challenge of writing some of her photo captions in English.  Usagi loves the camera, and took a photo of her New Year’s celebration with Mamoru.

Art notes: I tried a new (to me) technique for watercolor resist painting, to get the colors of the fireworks to come through.  And after I was done, it was not sparkly enough, so I pulled out my shimmering silver/gold watercolors and accented the fireworks even more.  The second photo is a close up where the shimmer is showing up.  I’m happy with how it turned out and enjoyed painting it.

I am not happy right now. I spent the day wrapping Christmas presents then spending four hours curled up in my chair reading North and South and trying desperately to pretend that the world outside does not exist. 

The only small speck of light for me in this clusterfuck of a last twenty-four hours is my own constituency. It was a Tory safe seat until 2017 when Labour gained it, and despite all the overwhelming odds, Labour held it yesterday, even though the exit poll for my area was too close to call and hedging toward Labour losing the seat.
