#💜: hard shelled softie

[cherry-bomb-ships]

Wait.

You know that thing that cats do where you touch them when their head's turned and they will give out a little "mrrp?" as they look at you

Bowser 100% does the exact same thing

Mia Healey (as Shelby Goodkind) Erana James (as Toni Shalifoe) Shelby, being certain of one thing...Toni. 💕 From season two, THE WILDS (2022) [+] TONI & SHELBY 💜 [+] ..more on ‘THE WILDS’ (40+ GIFsets) [+] ..more on TONI SHALIFOE 🔥 It’s just heartbreaking hearing Toni’s words. She’s really such a hard-shelled softie. We just want her to feel she deserves all the love!

Okay so i am finally reading the one shot. i have been waiting for the right moment to read because i wanted to focus only on this and nothing else. Be prepared for this long ask because i have been writing up reactions as i was reading.

“By the way,” Inej said and stood up, approaching him. She was soundless. “I brought you what you asked for.”

She put a pure white ring in front of him, shining on the moonlight. Kaz stared at it without moving.

HE BOUGHT THE RING???

“A thread I decided I didn't need,” he said, staring at a document in his hands. He couldn't read a thing.

My poor boy is so worked up about it

Was the ring part of his armor now? Along with the gloves and the cane? Was this the reason Inej didn't press him for answers? Was his armor so thick even the Wraith couldn't see through it?

I love how you wrote from this perspective, of how the ring could mean differently

Sometimes armor is all you have. And sometimes you need to take it down. Even for a bit.

HE IS GONNA TELL HER OH MY GOD

“They're like a mirror to each other but don't always go together.

This is such a great analogy, i love it

“Will you wear the ring?”

The fingers of the hand that had held the ring trembled. He clenched it into a fist.

“I don't know.”

Inej smiled slightly. A soft sunbeam in the dark room.

“I hope you do. Even if it's under the gloves.”

INEJ KNOWS HOW MUCH IT ACTUALLY DOES MEAN TO HIM AND HER ENCOURAGING HIM TO WEAR IT IS JUST KAKFLSDJFL

“What a cute monkey you would be,” Jesper grinned. Wylan went pink.

Matthias gave him a sympathetic look.

Matthias knows what it is like to be the victim of being flirted to by a crow and having sympathy for wylan is just amazing.

“I have seen him before, in the club,” Kaz said. It was an accident but Kaz wouldn’t say it to them. He remembered the guard clearly. Coffee eyes and loud laugh. A black ring on his middle finger on his right hand. A white one on the other middle finger. Mirroring each other but different. That's why he knew he could distract him. He would talk with another aro.

first of all, WHAT. second, HE IS GONNA TALK TO ANOTHER ARO

“He is aro ace,” Kaz said finally.

The room was silent for a moment. Then Jesper nodded.

HE BLURTED, JUST AS WE SPOKE ABOUT

“Because,” Kaz said, frustrated with himself. He could have handled this better. “I wear the same ring as him.” He took off his left glove. The white ring, almost silver on the light, was on his hand, warmed by Kaz’s skin. “And a white ring on the left middle finger means the person is on the aromantic spectrum.”

The crows blinked. Inej nodded at him with an encouraging smile. Wylan’s mouth was agape. Jesper tried to say something but the ringing of the bells interrupted him. They had to go.

“It doesn’t matter,” Kaz said. He did think it. But it didn’t mean part of him didn’t care.

of course he cared he is a hard shelled softie

Just then, Kaz allowed himself one small smile.

HE SMILED KJHSJDH

In conclusion I FREAKING LOVED IT.

YOU DID SUCH A PERFECT JOB OF THIS LIKE MY HEART IS JUST FULL OF WARM FUZZY FEELINGS AND I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO CONVEY WHAT I AM FEELING BUT I LOVE IT.

Thank you so so so much for writing this <3 <3

This is one of the most heartwarming asks I have ever received 😭💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

I enjoy seeing people's reactions to my fics and this makes me so happy 😭😭💗💗💗

AND I'M SO GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT 💚🤍🖤💜

And thank you so much for reading and sharing this ask 🥺🥺🥺 It was the first day in school, my last year, and tbh I have had better days/weeks so this just 🥺😩♥️♥️♥️♥️

[yashashveeroy]

Hi dear! Before I ask for a reading, thank for all the wonderful work you’ve done with chart readings, you have such high patience and dedication to every single request 🥰

With that said, I’m really curious at the possibility of emotional balance with my big three 😭

Cancer Sun, Pisces Moon, Cancer Rising

Hello there @hagg-moon !!!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a great deal to me🥺💜 I’m trying to better my astrological skills and this is the best way!! So a big THANKS TO YOU as well for trusting me with your interpretation!😭🤍

Please read the newly added Rules regarding “Asks” here before reading this interpretation.

Cancer Sun:

Having a Cancer Sun can be quite tough. Emotionally, everything seems to be challenging. I grew up with a father who has his sun and moon in cancer. Now he may not come off as a typical Cancerian but that’s because of him not being able to come to terms with his inner child’s wounds. It’s so Cancerian in nature but also not. Now even though Cancer is supposed to flow along with water, it doesn’t. Simply because there’s is this certain stubborn and hardheadedness to it. Why? Think about it this way, Cancer the crab has a hard outer shell to itself. So no matter how much you/people may think you are emotionally unbalanced or even a softie, you still have control over yourself. Having this placement can make someone practice stoicism as well, in a healthy way. I’m telling you this because I myself am a cancer sun and Pisces moon according to the Vedic astrology calculations. I practice being stoic. I’m not saying that you should completely forget about showing emotions. Show it when you truly need to, especially in the presence of your loved ones. This way, at least other people’s perception of you can change and they’ll think twice before harming you emotionally.

Pisces Moon:

A Cancer sun and Pisces moon combination tells me that when you express your emotions, you can often fall to the path of self destruction. STOP DOING THAT. It’s only going to make you more toxic. Instead, do this: every time you feel any kind of emotion, try to label it properly. Look up “Emotion wheel” on google and go through all the emotion describing words and see which one resonates. That particular emotion is what you’re feeling. Learn to label your emotions. Always. I know, it won’t be easy at first, but it’ll take time to get used it. Eventually, you’re gonna be great at knowing what you’re feeling, exactly. Always remember, CRYING DOES NOT MAKE YOU WEAK. In fact, crying is very healthy. If you don’t cry and keep it suppressed because you think that it’s gonna make you seem strong, don’t. Cry it out and don’t make your body suffer for it. My number one advice for water placements is this: spend more time with your family or special friends. It’s healthy. I know how draining it is to be an energy sponge and soak up your surrounding environment’s energy even when you don’t want to. I sense some self image issues as well, but you have to come out of it. And I can tell that you a huge positive difference in people’s lives, so don’t be afraid to be who you are around them. Your loved ones, they need you. I see that sometimes you might go out of your way to please people, you should start practising setting up healthy boundaries. Learn a little bit about detachment and practice it. Pisces moons often end up remembering things, negative things, very vividly.

Cancer Rising:

I see so much grace in everything you do. And I can tell people admire you for it. There is this certain thing about you, it’s dark but it’s beautiful. People want a piece of it but it’s almost like you’re way too godlike to be touched. “Dark Moon” is what comes to my mind. There’s more to the dark side of your Moon ruling Cancer rising. Almost similar to the Plutonian energy but not completely. I suggest seeing where Lilith falls in your natal chart. You can work on it and become more whole than you are right now. Almond or Doe shaped eyes. Maybe a round face with prominent features like the eyebrows or the lips? Ruled by water in the big three, your cancer rising definitely wants you to work on your intuitive abilities. You have this familiar feeling to you that attracts people and makes them open up to you. Since you want emotional peace and balance, always remember, Cancer risings often learn and lead by logic too. So you have to snap at yourself when you see emotions overrunning you. I see amazing potential in the field of psychology if you develop your placements enough and become stronger than you already are. You must be very artistic. I see a fancy for old artworks and museums here. Don’t doubt your power to heal yourself, please. You’re going to be just fine.

I really hope this interpretation resonated with you! Don’t forget to leave your feedback in the comments of this post!!🥰💜

Love, Roy.

what your fav says about you

Chris Cornell: you have a difficult time letting go of the past but at the same time you enjoy writing poetry and exorcising the monsters inside you  Ben Shepherd: to say you’re unpredictable is an understatement and you’re prone to anger but you are really the sweetest person ever and you’re a little insecure about that  Matt Cameron: you just want everyone to get along but you very easily play the role of the mediator, almost too easily  Kim Thayil: you’re that one kid in school who’s always doing extracurricular things, but it’s only because the other alternative is being hella bored at home Lars Ulrich: you are painfully misunderstood, to the point in which even your haters don’t understand why they dislike you, but it doesn’t stop you from having a big heart and a sense of humor  James Hetfield: you look “basic” on the outside but are actually one of the most complex people ever and have the dirtiest mind Dave Mustaine: you have a worse temper than Ben and the biggest potty mouth, but you’re actually the biggest softie, like you threaten to kick someone’s ass but you melt into a pile of goo when presented with a kitten  Scott Ian: you have a wide variety of interests and you are very... focused, but you can be quite chilly in terms of personality; you also have had on fleek eyebrows well before on fleek was a thing Joey Belladonna: you are a kid at heart and you’re also very sexy and boy do you know it, but a complete loner: i.e., the “I make love to ten thousand people every night but I go home alone” kind of person John Bush: you’re the popular one and everyone seems to like you better than Joey but cold hard truth is that you’re very unreliable, especially on a moment’s notice Kurt Cobain: you are sensitive and poetic, in fact you could say you are very much in touch with your feminine side and rightfully so, but you’re way too hard on yourself, oftentimes to a fault Dave Grohl: you are carpe’ing all those diems but you have an almost existential fear of stopping just to smell the flowers because you know in your heart that the sky’s the limit Eddie Vedder: you are right up there with sensitivity and poetic expression with Kurt, but you’re painfully shy, that is unless it’s something you care about otherwise you fight TOOTH AND NAIL Layne Staley: you might as well be a poet laureate but you’re even harder on yourself than Kurt because all you want is love in every sense of the word  Jerry Cantrell: you have mad skills at just about anything you do but you seem to be incredibly insecure about it; you also have people chucking their underwear at you at the drop of a hat Andy Wood: you’re one of those niche people, or popular with a very select few, and you wish you could reach the circle outside but you wonder if there’s an expense Mark Lanegan: you come across as a complete grouch to newcomers but you’re actually the coolest person once someone looks past your crusty shell Jimmy Morrison: you are the kind of person that everyone dreams of being with and you have a velvet tongue but you worry about people finding out “the real you” Bob Dylan: you always know what’s up and you stop at nothing, but there’s a whole horde of people waiting to tell you to shut the hell up for it Tom Petty: you’re the kind of person people turn to when they need a moment and you relish in the moment... but who’s gonna take care of you?

Feel free to add more 💜

[tuff-and-fluff-archives]

if its not too much Arthur, Bowser, and Dimitrescu for the venn diagram thing :0

WELL I had to do just a little bit of stretching for this but these are still all true! And I am willing to explain any of these if necessary >:3c

💜 ask game here! 💜

[cherry-bomb-ships]

HHHRHRGRGG OMG OMG So y'all may know by now but my favorite iteration of Bowser in anything ever is the version of him in M&L: Bowser's Inside Story, and a decently big part of the reason why ia the voicelines in that game 💖💖💖 WELL. I found a playlist of Bowser voice clips extracted from the files of various Mario games and there are OTHER GAMES WHERE HE SOUNDS LIKE THAAAAAAAAAT 💖💘💖💘💖💘💖💘💖💘💖💘💖💖

Ruby's F/o Tournament - FINAL ROUND

Here we are folks, the final match... The explosives-crazed internationally wanted madman and the Mushroom Kingdom's most terrible enemy. My main f/o, versus the first character I ever made a self insert for. It's our most fiery match ever!!

As always, vote however you see fit, whether you like the character more or my ship with them more. Propaganda will be below the cut. May the best f/o win!! 🧡💜🧡

Junkrat

From anonymous: as a certified junkrat roleplayer i GOTTA go to bat for my boy. He’s like if you made looney tunes as a concept into a person. Autism dialed to 100. I dont care if he’s a criminal he’s a sweetheart. also i think you’d enjoy this tidbit i’ve had him say: “It’s *Junkrat,* thank you very much! I picked that name out meself! Mum didn’t let me make it my legal name, though. Said it’s bad for rez-ew-mes. Jokes on her, I ain’t held a single legal job in all my life. An’ I think Junkrat is very respectable! Makes my interests obvious. I like junkin’, an’ I like rats. Simple!”

From anonymous: Jamie is the most iconic of all! In my mind no one is more synonymous with your blog and your ships and its the first one I fell in love with

From @shipsashore: For the time I've followed your blog, I knew you as Junkrat's lover. Absolutely iconic couple here. Giving my vote to your silly trash husband.

Bowser

From @edencantstopfallininlove: Bowser has the raaaaange. He can go from silly and affable in one moment to ruthless and intimidating in the next. He can BREATHE FIRE for frick's sake. Also a good dad! In the words of the King of the Koopas himself, "Losing is not an option! And neither is giving up!"

From @shipsashore: Not voting for Bowser but I just wanna say yall are still an iconic couple. :)

Notes from Ruby

I'm writing down here because I don't want to put a bias for either of my guys. Sure, Jamie is my main f/o, but Bowser is also my very first, from back when I was only 10 years old and didn't have all these terms for it. He's the first one I ever drew self ship and self insert art for, who I came up with a story for. He means a lot to me and I still love him to this day. On the other hand, Jamie is my main, he's the only f/o I've officially done a wedding for, and sunk countless hours (and dollars) into loving him. This match is an impossible one for me, one I could never choose between... Here's hoping y'all have an easier time 😅💜🧡💜🧡💜

Ruby's F/o Tournament - Round 3 - Match 4

The battle of iconic video game villains who were really hot in a film adaptation where they were played by a famous comedy actor!! Vote however you'd like; whichever ship of mine you prefer, which character you prefer, or even whoever's vibe you dig more! Propaganda will be below the cut. May the best f/o win!! 🧡💜❤️

Bowser

From @edencantstopfallininlove : Bowser has the raaaaange. He can go from silly and affable in one moment to ruthless and intimidating in the next. He can BREATHE FIRE for frick's sake. Also a good dad! In the words of the King of the Koopas himself, "Losing is not an option! And neither is giving up!"

Notes from Ruby: Bowser has been close to my heart since I played "Bowser's Inside Story" when I was 10 and ADORED the way he was characterized, so you can imagine how wonderful it was to see him portrayed in the same way in the movie all these years later. Of course he's still an intimidating villain, but he's also so enjoyably meat-headed and secretly a big softie. 🧡🧡🧡

Dr. Robotnik

This f/o has received no propaganda.

Notes from Ruby: Robotnik was love at first sight for me. Well, maybe it's more accurate to call it infatuation that became love, but from the very first trailer for the first Sonic film, I knew I was struck. His coldness toward others paired with his manic behavior was a one-way ticket to my heart. Oh, and it helps that I have a major celeb-crush on Jim Carrey. ❤️❤️❤️

It's not too late! Click here to submit propaganda for any f/o!
