Hi Melon

<3

Love this!!

uhhhm spitballing rickdiane first meeting. what if we were bratty kicked out teens and we happened to buy tickets at the same bus station to go be cooler ppl in a better place? and we were both trans?

( waves hand i also think diane was more abrasive than she's usually portrayed, rick tends to like less squeaky people, "summer reminds me of you", many such things. )

what homemade hormones in ur basement does to a couple

i think im getting artblock so heres this

I've decided that tumblr gets the full comic first.

Hope you like it.

Leave it to DesertDuo to be the ones to make the best possible metaphor for their relationship. Bread Bridge. Their relationship isn’t love or hate or whatever else you want to call it, it’s that stupid fucking bridge.

Every time they meet, it’s the same song and dance, they try and build bridges, to connect to what they had back in that goddamned desert (and isn’t is ironic that there is one on this map, just out of reach?) yet even back then they were still the same. Yes they try and build bridges, but it never ends in any way other than violence.

Literally the first major DesertDuo moment, Grian tries to have fun with his friends and throw a little prank and what happened? Scar dies.

End of third life, Scar tries to apologize to Grian and repent for the betrayal he caused and how does it end? Scar dead in the sand and Grian not far behind.

Last life? Scar tried to befriend Grian immediately and he goes along with it, only for Grian to literally steal his life and run away.

And don’t get me started on Double Life. Souls so intertwined yet somehow the dynamic barely shifts. Every single one of their deaths occurred while trying to help the other did it not?

And here we are, on the fourth rendition of this hellscape and Grian is building a bridge to Scar. Do you think he saw it and had hope? That maybe they could be allys again? (There’s a way we can still be friends Mumbo)

Do you think there was any suprise when that bridge is basically what killed him?

reblog this post if you're strong enough to :3 in 2023

Piece I made for @theslenderversezine back in 2023

What kills me about Saiki knowing his friends would accept him if they knew about his powers is that... yes, he knows this. He believes in them enough at the point of the volcano that he knows they would care for him and want him around regardless.

But he says "I wouldn't want to put them in this position because it would be hard for them". His friends would be willing to get used to knowing their minds are being read 24/7 and they would be willing to know Saiki can manipulate their thoughts if he wants, and they would be willing to get used to all his little oddities because they love him.

But Saiki doesn't want them to have to. He wanted to be "normal" for them.

im losing my mind save me

So Five goes from “guy who will literally break time and space to save his family” to “homewrecker stealing his brother’s wife and leaving them all to die”.

Thank you, Umbrella Academy. You just provided the ultimate textbook definition of character assassination. Well done.
