tubbo’s going to bonk him over the head and little birds and stars are going to manifest around him. i wouldn’t be surprised if he had the ability to hover in the air for a second before falling for maximum comic effect. he moves like a rubber hose cartoon character. I know ranboo has said that he’s really expressive with his movements, but nothing could’ve prepared me for actually seeing him on-camera like this. Ranboo, who’s had multiple breakdowns and panic attacks over the guilt it’s caused him: Posts that would’ve been completely incomprehensible one hour agoĭream, admitting to blowing up the community house: #because her voice shouldn’t be an issue!!! she shouldn’t have to apologize for it!!! and neither should anyone else with a ‘weird’ voice!!!! reblog if you agreeįor every post I created, I reblogged 12.9 posts. To which tommy went, “no it’s not.” and turned to the side and did the exact same thing to ranboo, who apparently just fucking stood there and accepted his fateĬtinarose in gay love. Tommy told crumb “she was like an npc” and when she asked for him to elaborate he just reached out and just grabbed her entire face with his hand.Ĭrumb of course batted it away and covered their face, to which tommy went, “see, that’s an npc reaction!”Īnd crumb was like, “no? that’s a normal reaction to someone grabbing your face?”
#they’re best friends they’re soulmates they’re enablers they’re disasters they’re in love they’re a family they’re forever vowed to each oth Icarus speaks I CANT EXPLAIN THAT TO A WOMAN IN HER LIKE MID 50S THOUGH i know the little gay people in my phone get me tho u guys see meīlogs I reblogged the tagged 13,303 of my posts in 2022 apollo was not a malicious force in icarus’ death, the fates were, and that was out of both of their controls. apollo loved icarus as much as icarus loved him, and that is why their story is so tragic. he could not curb his warmth, just like how icarus could not curb his curiosity. if the sun was cold and uncaring, icarus would not have burned. you think apollo didn’t support icarus? you think apollo didn’t shine down on icarus every day, even in that accursed tower, offering him what little warmth could be found in such a prison? you think daedalus would’ve founded a temple to the sun god if he was malicious in his compliance in icarus’ death? icarus wouldn’t have flown so close if the sun wasn’t so welcoming, so loving, so captivating. I’m drawing icarus and apollo waltzing for my illustration class and my professor told me to make the dip more dramatic because “the sun god should not support icarus in his fall” like you fool.
