The hero's sword arc of Frieren is only a single chapter but it's probably the chapter I think about the most... You have the classic sword in the stone that can only be pulled by the hero who is destined to save the world. So of course Himmel, the legendary hero, is the one who freed it.

Except: he didn't. He failed. He couldn't pull the sword from the stone. He wasn't the prophesied hero who would save the world.

And he went, okay, well, people really need a hero right now. So I'll just pretend to be one anyway. It doesn't really matter if I'm a fake or not if either way we're helping people.

And he did. He was a pretend hero. And they saved the world.

And now eighty years later there is no one left to remember that he never pulled the sword from the stone at all. It's easier to believe that he did, because he saved the world, so he must have been the destined hero. But he wasn't. The sword saw him and rejected him, and he simply went on anyway, because he wanted to help people, and that's what it takes in the end to be a hero, really. The four of them saved the world, and the true hero's sword sits quietly in a cave somewhere, rusting away, forever, unneeded.

Not to go "if you have ADHD just go for a run" or anything, but I am so serious if you have ADHD you should regularly go outside, no headphones no phone no nothing and just stand and observe for a while until you've had enough. Not until you get bored, until you've had enough. Drink your coffee without watching tiktok. Have a bath without music. Turn down the volume in your headphones. I cannot overstate how much learning to be bored is cruicial with ADHD. Life is not just about pleasure, no matter what your dysregulated dopamine system thinks, and when you teach your brain to be okay with being bored, then boring tasks stop feeling like torture. By letting yourself be bored you are yoinking your system out of the high/low binary and allow for the highs to feel like actual highs and not just anything that isn't low. I am so serious go literally touch grass. Listen to the sounds in your flat. Stimulate your body the way it was designed. It lowers anxiety and makes you feel like you're real and best of all it's completely free

what if we kissed in the rainbow light and we were both doctors ah ha just kidding unless...

(i was this close to making a shitpost asking whether anyone had tried setting the Spirk "unification" vid to either Bring Me To Life or Everytime We Touch, and decided it was both in poor taste for fellow shippers AND i would be serious about wanting the latter for garashir)

You probably shouldn’t be holding yourself to our standard in the first place.” How can someone with his own face be so annoying? “Just tell me.” “Well… Have you tried having sex?” Words: 3491, Chapters: 1/2, Language: English Series: Part 3 of The Stars Align Fandoms: Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Lower Decks (Cartoon) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Categories: M/M Characters: Hologram Julian Bashir, Alternate Universe Elim Garak, Julian Bashir, Elim Garak, William Boimler Relationships: Hologram Julian Bashir/Alternate Universe Elim Garak, Julian Bashir/Elim Garak Additional Tags: Section 31 (Star Trek), Jealousy, Getting Together, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, TFW you sign up to be a secret agent man and get stuck doing paperwork, Post-Canon

Garak sneezing like a kitten every time Julian kisses his chufa.

Julian smooches him there for the first time on his way out the door--Garak almost manages to hold it in. Julian's halfway out when he hears the tiniest little "...chu!"

Julian slowly, slowly rotates in the doorframe, eyes wide, and Garak gives him the most suspiciously neutral face while he insists that Julian is simply hearing things, and he'd better go if he doesn't want to be late for darts with the Chief. Julian just walking straight back into the room, right up to Garak.

"Oh really? Well, if I'm just hearing things, you won't mind if I kiss you again..."

Garak doesn't blink. Julian leans in--so, so slowly--and gives Garak another kiss right in the middle of his chufa. Garak's lip starts shaking, his nose wrinkles up, he fights it *so hard* and then finally, he lets out another tiny little "... chu!"

And then Julian tackles him and kisses him right on the chufa until he has to stop because he's laughing too hard--Garak doesn't know whether he wants to murder this man or marry him.

"Sleeping on the sofa" or "in the dog house" are what normal and hinged people would likely say. But not Hologram Julian Bashir. He tells his husband to sleep on the floor. "You're pissing me off so get on the ground" I love them sm

Aro culture is, when you were younger, picking someone who you thought was good-looking (aesthetic attraction) and label them as your crush so you could answer next time someone asked you who your crush was

Friendly Touch to a Lover's Touch

A Garashir series of art I did.

Is it artistic framing? Or did the artist simply not want to draw entire faces? (it's that last thing. I am lazy...?)
