Thank you Conclave (2024) for creating a new and huge wave of ACTUAL Old Men Yaoi and feeding my dash with 70yo christians having sinful sex.

love seeing revisionism in the wild “free the nipple never meant you can walk around topless every where that’s still sexual harassment it just meant for like breastfeeding and stuff”no it literally means you should be able to walk around topless anywhere because get this. breasts aren’t fucking sexual organs.

thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.

Soulmates exist, therefore, clergymen are allowed to marry since soulmates are seen as gifts from God. In fact, they are encouraged. Names are etched on wrists since birth and Vincent has always had Thomas Lawrence on his wrist.

He loved that name and hoped whoever it was would love him, but he never desired to meet him. War, famine, and poverty was brutal. Kabul was dangerous. He couldn’t bear the thought of his soulmate coming here and dying and was content with merely the thought of him.

Thomas had Vincent Benitez on his wrist since he was 7. He had no desire to meet him. He was sure his soulmate would dislike him. His frigid nature, his doubts, the insecurities- all black marks against his character. Perhaps that was why, when he woke his soulmate up from his nap, right before the Conclave, he did not mention a single thing about the name on his wrist. Despite the fact that it burned and he knew that both Aldo and the man on the chair knew.

Vincent, now Pope, is expected to marry his soulmate. However, not wanting to force Thomas into something against his will, decides he must woo his Dean into falling in love with him. Cue Vincent trying his hardest to get Thomas to love him while Thomas looks himself in the mirror everyday and convinces himself that Vincent could never love him.

* Tedesco and Bellini are engaged and have been for the last 20 year but refuse to tie the not. They love each other but they’re just hateful and toxic about it.

so here's my RPG team AU- they each have a lil guardian angel that can manifest as wings to block attacks or dodge or help in whatever other way they might need. tedesco's weapon is a thurible lol. it causes poison damage too!! (all that suffocating incense...) aldo's weapons are silver so he gets a boosted attack against certain enemies (werewolves and vampires????) thomas wields the motherfucking bible- he can cast spells and healing magic also- vincent's weapon keeps getting bigger each time i draw it LOL

Tell me Lawrenitez isn't this, c'mon.

FIRST step to enjoying any media is getting attached to the character whose suicidal tendencies are the most obvious

jokes to make after failure that aren’t self-deprecating:

I’m the best to ever do it

Nobody saw that (best if said loudly)

No one’s ever done it like me

I could be President/they should make me President

Behold, a mere fraction of my power!

The public wants to be me soooooo bad

I’m an expert in (thing you just failed at)

How could this have happened to god’s favorite princess?

Nothing ibuprofen and a glass of water cant fix

I’m being sabotaged
