Ayo with her parents watching her name being engraved. Her dad in full Nigerian traditional attire and her mom probably on the family group chat… this picture made me cry❤️🥹

like i know everyone’s like heliotrope for laura lee (eternal love yada yada yada) but i never made that connection initially bc laura lee seems to be in (mostly) in pastel pinks and yellows and her in heliotrope felt less significant (like the small flowers in her dress during the crash or wtv) but it probably means that lottie pays attention to laura lee more than the average viewer,,,, anyway the real question is has anyone made a whole think piece on laura lee matching lottie’s medication colors in the baptism scene

anon i love you for this

laura lee's style is so important to me actually. starting with the fact that on the pilot she literally wear a yellow. jacket. and i don't know about you but i think they could've made the "super religious girl" wear more subdued/solemn/sober colors and clothes. instead laura lee is so bright. she's cheerful yellow, baby blue, pretty pink! there's something important and gay there, okay?

and now lottie paying attention to the little details about laura lee? yeah! absolutely! she knows the exact name of the shade of purple in the little flowers of one of her dresses. totally normal and platonic behavior there miss matthews!!

now look

this is... this is actually crazy okay? this is insane stuff. this is the kind of thing that will make me lose my mind and i REFUSE to believe this is a coincidence okay?!

it's about lottie needing something or someone to help her deal with her visions, with her mental health, with everything. the pills controlled her visions, laura lee explained them. when lottie lost the pills and thought she would lose herself she found laura lee instead (and lost her too oh my god). the comfort, the relief, the trust she put on laura lee. she used to rely on her medication now she relies on laura lee. the two things that could soothe her mind but in very different ways!! and i'm not exactly saying laura lee was the right answer but it's about the way lottie held onto her in these trying times!!!!

EVERYBODY STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND GO SHARPEN YOUR KNIVES

The stunning, standalone prequel to the New York Times bestselling The Priory of the Orange Tree.

Tunuva Melim is a sister of the Priory. For fifty years, she has trained to slay wyrms – but none have appeared since the Nameless One, and the younger generation is starting to question the Priory’s purpose. To the north, in the Queendom of Inys, Sabran the Ambitious has married the new King of Hróth, narrowly saving both realms from ruin. Their daughter, Glorian, trails in their shadow – exactly where she wants to be. The dragons of the East have slept for centuries. Dumai has spent her life in a Seiikinese mountain temple, trying to wake the gods from their long slumber. Now someone from her mother’s past is coming to upend her fate. When the Dreadmount erupts, bringing with it an age of terror and violence, these women must find the strength to protect humankind from a devastating threat.

if you don’t get to strap a knife to your thigh underneath a flowing ballgown while dancing with your rival at least once then what is the point

Just thinking about how this might be the most accurate meme I’ve ever made

Meg: Ead can’t be good at everything. Maybe she’s a bad kisser.

Sabran: No, she’s good at that too.

Meg: What?

Sabran: What?

this is amazing.

Sabran Berethnet from The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

(aka one of my favorite books in a while - it’s got like everything I love. go read it right now.)

good morning to gay mages of the priory, depressed disaster bi clone queens and honourable eastern dragon riders with ancient magical star jewels sewn into their sides only 

The ladies from The Priory of the Orange Tree

It’s been a while since I’ve fallen so deeply in love with a book. And when I love something I usually feel the need to make art.

Also, it’s funny how my style has changed a bit since I started drawing more digitally, I like it.

Redrew this with Ead and Sabran

Color Theory and Wes Anderson’s Style: Sad Characters in a Colorful World

With such bright and saturated fairy tale color palettes, Wes Anderson movies can touch on deep, existential issues without bumming people out. And if it weren’t for the dramatic content, the exaggerated colors would be unbearably optimistic and cheerful. In standard film theory, color in film is usually seen to “support” the tone of the subject matter, but Wes Anderson movies complicate those expectations. ∗

stemverse aka the expanded earth sci zuko au

brought to u by ur local earth sci major; ty to the crime fam for supporting me in making this post and @itszukkatime for coming up w like half of these​

zuko is an earth science major

- bitchfather ozai (business dude) is one of those ppl who devalue the humanities and made zuko do a stem major. zuko hates this but ozai kinda…pays for school so he has no choice. this goes on UNTIL he discovers earth science and his visual learner brain goes !!!!

- bitchfather disapproves bc he’s a climate change denier but cannot say anything bc it is stem

- zuko also double majors in literature bc fuck u dad and he has very strong disaster theatre gay energy: he does not sleep and sees no problem with this; also subsists on ramen and asian snacks even tho he can cook perfectly well

sokka is an engineering/lit double major

- he meets zuko in intro to american lit (why did i do that i hate american lit) and bond over the things they carried (the vietnam war novel) and shared family trauma aka hakoda being/having been deployed and zuko having the worst home life/no friends

- originally they both lived in single rooms but then one dorm flooded and a bunch of the assignments had to get shuffled around so eventually they become roommates

katara is a computer science major

- she will physically fight anyone who says women shouldn’t be in cs/stem. zuko joins her even tho she’s told him a hundred times that she’s fine; he just wants to beat ppl up

- she also joins zuko and aang (environ sci major/environmental activist) in committing minor acts of ecoterrorism

suki is a political science major and is in a sorority

- ty lee (psych major) hangs out with a really toxic sorority bc all her sisters were in it but Hates It There…but once she meets suki she ends up joining her sorority and havin a great time. she also plays the sousaphone in marching band bc just imagine the image

- azula is a business major and captain of the division 1 volleyball team

- mai plays the piccolo yall just need to know this.

piandao is zuko’s mineralogy professor and also advisor for his major

- he also teaches swordfighting at his studio a little off campus which zuko and sokka both go to (and don’t KNOW that they both go to and piandao sets them up by giving them both spare keys and after hours permission)

- he’s the local iconic gay professor (based heavily on MY iconic gay professor) he owns a shirt that says “queer scientist” and is dating jeong jeong, who is a chaotic dirt gremlin who somehow got tenure (he’s a field geologist who was forced to teach a class by the department)

– toph is also a chaotic dirt gremlin who decided that jeong jeong would be her advisor and did not look back. their combined energy can and probably will bring a building to the ground

iroh owns the local boba tea shop

- literally everyone goes there to hang out and do schoolwork

- zuko works there bc he needs money and loves his uncle the only thing he doesn’t like is that ppl who know him (not the gaang obvi but just random folks) see him there
