Seeking, Yearning, Reaching Hands

those first 22 issues i read last night were enough to make me want to draw him ngl

Thinking about him again

My new hyperfixation

I’m a Xiao main who’s an Ekko number 1 fan. I think there’s a pipeline here which consumes us all

As someone who knows you for your genshin and xlmi posts I wanna say I find it kind of hilarious you like tb cause as a xiao main I really love ekko too 🤣

Listen...

If I had a nickel for every time I fell in love with a male character, who has bird motifs, wears a mask when fighting, loves and protects their nation, has remained a kind and gentle person despite the trauma they've been through, lives in a big ass tree, is shipped with a MC who has a complicated/strained relationship with their sibling due to being separated for so long and graduated university with a degree in yearnerlogy.... I'd have two nickels.

Which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice.

Ekko and Xiao also deserve to be in better games than Genshin and League.

hodnjdkkdkkk in all seriousness tho I love Ekko and Xiao so much 🥺

Kinda love the fact that most characters in httyd don't have perfect teeth. Zero human dental care but they do have crazy good healthcare for if you lose a limb or two. They're very prepared to just hand you a peg leg at the drop of a hat. They recover from amputation like its a hobby tbh.

But when Snotlout lost three teeth from a punch he seemed so distraught about it. He has a missing front tooth thro his entire tenure in the franchise. Gobber has a fake tooth made from a rock that regularly falls out and he has to tap it back into place.

They literally have a holiday to celebrate the fact that so many of them have lost limbs. they have an annual 'having a stump fucking rocks!' day but no one is telling these kids to floss.

Like there is a dragon dentist and we see Gobber give the dragons fake teeth. but humans getting fake teeth seems to be an oddity almost exclusive to Gobber.

It's just such an interesting detail in the world building. They fixed an aspect of ableism but at the cost of human dentistry

THE BOYS IN THE BOAT (2024) dir. George Clooney

when you grew up as a lonely uncool girl it will never stop haunting you by the way. you will meet a cool person at a bar or the train station or at a friend's party and you can wear your most stylish outfit and striking eye makeup and you will swear that they can see through all of the facade and see the lonely terribly insecure teenage girl you used to be who desperately wanted to connect and you will swear that they know that there is like an insurmountable gap between you. this will happen forever

✦ And then I said "No way, bro!"

I wish Jungwon was real
