“He’s a muggleborn too, I think that’s why she likes him,” James says, now talking to no one but himself and the ceiling. “He listens to all the same muggle music, watches films… they probably go do cool muggle things like fairs and refrigerators… ride airplanes…” “Mate, I don’t think you do a refrigerator.” James ignores him, barreling onwards. “Meanwhile, I’m stuck here, basking in the feeling of how soft her skin was on my bloody arm like a fool.”

Christmastime is hard. ~Lily~ Lily's life has recently exploded. She has moved twice in the last two months, broken up with a man she had thought she was going to marry, and is currently headed home to go to her sister's Christmas time wedding alone. Even though she and her sister argued over giving Lily a plus one quite explosively. And now she's got an asshole neighbor who basically shoved her down the stairs. ~James~ James has been in love with Marlene McKinnon since he was eleven. She has absolutely no interest in him, and his friends have tried just about everything they can think of to dissuade him from pinning for her. And his parents won't stop setting him up with their friends grandchildren. Because they're old and they think James needs help. What if someone were to assume that the two of them were dating when they're spotted in the airport together? What if they didn't correct them? What if they used their easy chemistry and proximity to make Christmastime that much easier for the both of them?

“So,” she says after a moment, her voice light, “is this a thing you do? Invite girls to kill themselves on a run after you find them crying. Or am I special?” Sirius laughs. It’s a sharp sound, almost surprised, but it makes her stomach loosen. “You’re special,” he says dryly, finally turning to look at her properly. He watches her for a beat longer than she expects, like he’s searching for something in her face—some answer she doesn’t know how to give. Whatever it is, he seems to find it.

“It’s horrid for you, you know.” “No worries–I do loads of things that are bad for me,” he smirks. “Oh? Like what?” He falters, the rushing stream of banter getting interrupted by a fork in the river. Maybe she is imagining it, but she sees the words start to form on his lips. Fancying you.

A soft silence falls over them, strangely comfortable given the circumstances. She can feel his heartbeat against her forearm, a defiant thump thump thump that serves as a reminder that yes, you are in his bed with his hand over your body and his face unreasonably close to yours.

“matt.”

“Yeah?”

“you’re a dumbass. hope you know that. (smooch)”

Redraw of an old TomMatt piece from March 2024 :-] Jesus christ their designs changed a LOT since then.

I debated whether to use 2SEATER, Some, or Rapp Snitch Knishes because my god I love their themes so much. TomMatt playlist my beloved.

My favorite ship in the world, and I’ve not once even thought of a headcanon duo name for them. So I just call them Blurple for now until I can find something HAHA. I love you TomMatt.

They’re both huge dumbasses. Matt is a literal magnet to Tom and she loves clinging onto him so much. Tom lives for physical affection, and even though he PRETENDS to be completely indifferent to it, he literally LIVES for being held by Matt.

You put these two in the same room and they’ll never let each other go. They love being dumb and silly around each other. You have very energetic hyperactive vampire man and very quiet and huggable hermit.

Sometimes Matt can bring up a million topics all at once, change topics every 5 seconds, and Tom is just completely quiet, listening to all of it and going “uh huh” “cool” “okay” HAVSHSAAHGA

I just had this thought as well while drawing them but. they kind of remind me of guitar dads. Mfs who are autistic as hell about band shit, and I can see in the good Future timeline they’d probably look like guitar dads too LOL.

[enriquemzn262]

I remember an old mutual of mine and former friend who went by Based-Heisenberg, he helped me greatly during the worst years of my life in Venezuela, and really got me into loving American gun culture around the time the community was really big in Tumblr, not to mention the anarco-capitalist movement which I understood and respected, but was never really truly onboard with.

But when the pandemic began, right after I finally left Venezuela for good, all the weird shit related to those dark days started happening, and among the most annoying was the whole mask mandates, which I personally abided to and really took seriously, but which nevertheless hoped would end quickly.

Well, he went for the camp of “mask don’t work”, which always seemed to me came more from his fundamental beliefs about how everything government was bad, not to mention around the time there was the whole “trust the science bro” vs “vaccines are dangerous and we’re not getting told that” fighting that made internet debates about the pandemic pissing contests between the most annoying people.

So he started to publicly show his disdain for them, how they were useless, and how they were a tool to keep us locked and obedient, meanwhile I was trying to get my shit together in Colombia while having to deal with the annoyance of masks and life with social distancing, which were just that, annoying, but not really something that took great effort to do, just as long as I carried a backpack around with a bag of masks inside, which I did, and didn’t stick to people while in public it was a simple thing to do.

So, I got annoyed, I believe I tried to debate the topic publicly with him a couple of times, but neither of us would budge. Then one day, after he made a particularly smug reply to one of those crybaby callout posts about how you were basically Hitler for not wearing a mask, I very stupidly and without a clear reason, decided to send him some anon hate, going for an insult about his weight because idiot me thought that was the best possible reply imaginable.

Of fucking course he immediately knew it was me, dude knew how to track anon ask’s IPs, and who else would be sending him hate in near perfect English from good old Barranquilla, Colombia? This fucking idiot of course, so he answered the post and called me on my bullshit, basically showing how much of an hypocrite I was, which was very true, since I was always against petty name calling when dealing with the mask shit.

And that’s how I killed a friendship that lasted a good few years, not to mention made a fool of myself with our mutuals, some of whom never saw me in the same light again, and while I half-heartedly apologized, not to mention recognized his actions in helping me during my worst years in Venezuela, I still ended up losing contact with him, and man, even though that happened years ago, it still stings.

Sorry man, I really, really wasn’t thinking straight in those days, I don’t think anyone did really, if you’re still in this accursed site, thank you for everything, and hope you’re doing well in that cool job of yours you got shortly after the pandemic began to subside.

This post was brought by: A moment of absolute Vietnam-style cringe after recalling that day brought about while doing the dishes.

[genderqueerdykes]

I was talking to my gf's roommate abt the history of girlfag and started off with "there are so many terms for lesbians lol- lesboy, boydyke, fagdyke, guydyke, those are all mainly for lesbians" as she went "men have enough" 😐 at the end, when I'm saying how it has never been a term used by 100% cis people, but rather genderqueer and non transitioning (a lot believing they're too old or hrt wouldn't work enough) transmascs she says something about how we don't need a term for everything (even tho I know she uses it for herself) n I just. Hnnnn

thanks for taking the time to stop by, i appreciate it! i enjoy your blog as well so it was cool to see you pop up in my askbox :D

"men have enough" ??? what the hell. that is such a selfish, entitled way of looking at this. does this person seriously think that a man using the same label as a woman is taking something away from them. are men who have traditionally "feminine/womens'" hobbies and interests taking things away from women? are men who also identify as human taking things away from women? are men breathing taking away oxygen from women?

she says something about how we don't need a term for everything

ah, the ole shifting the goalposts. i know it well. people who think this way get backed into corners easily and have to figure out a way to make themselves sound right without actually having anything else to add, so they default to some tired old frustrated crap like this. oh if we don't need a term for everything then, you'd be okay if the "lesbian" label went away? you'd be okay with people deciding "yeah we don't need a label for this anymore" and saying that people need to stop calling themselves lesbians because we "don't need a label for everything?"

it's very clear all of that was about shutting you up and absolutely none of it was about queer rights, feminism or being progressive. that's so sad. people see diversity and get SO scared. people see diversity in their own community and jump to saying it's a "threat". like sure by all means, if you think we don't need to have labels for "everything," feel free to stop calling yourself a lesbian at any point! it sounds pretty superfluous by your logic! you know, "Stone Butch" and "High Femme" seem pretty superfluous too, better get rid of those while we're at it, since we don't need a term for "everything," and we might as well throw "femme" and "butch" by themselves right in the trash too! we "don't need a term for everything" after all! (all of this is referring to them, not you)

anyways, take care, i'm sorry you had to deal with this. people love to just shift the goalposts whenever it suits them. it's really obvious once you start spotting the behavior. if you need any help or anything else feel free to reach out! stay safe out there. queer men deserve better than this. fagdykes, lesboys, boydykes, guydykes, transmasc, ftm and trans man lesbians deserve so much better than this.

i digged up in my notes and guess what

Kunikida HEADCANONS ☆📗 part 2!!! + some other characters at the end!!!

- he absolutly hates having his hair down and having his bangs in front of his face like in the oav so he put heavy amont of hair gel that makes his hair feel kinda like cardboard

- he was a troublemaker as a kid

- he's cisgender in a very transgender way. he considers himself a boy only because he was born as one and never really thought about it or feel any connexion to it despite having a schlong. like he's kinda gender apathetic

- it's not a rat tail!!! it's some sort of weird jellyfish haircut he only ties the lower layer and use way too much hair gel

- during his earlier years at the agency he used to have depressive episodes, where he forgot his ideals and bedrotted for days. now he feels so awful about it that he doesn't allow himself to take such breaks

- he likes poetry, mostly romanticism and naturalism. he sometimes writes some himself and has a notebook for it. Dazai found it and thinks his writing style is cringe and corny (he's kinda right...)

- he has a weird laugh, like an ugly one but it's cute

- once he came up with a schedule for katai and katai didn't even look at it

now just random dump of silly hcs i made up about the cast

- atsushi climbs the stairs on all four (even outside...)

- when someone shows him a silly video of a cat falling he takes it personally and answer something like "IT'S NOT FUNNY!! HE HURT HIMSELF😡"

- the type of guy to bite his nails until it bleed and peel the skin of his lips and kunikida swats his hand when he does

- fukuchi always has a favorite in the hunting dogs, sometimes it's tachihara, sometimes teruko, sometimes jouno but it's never tecchou. they're all kinda his children and tecchou is the least favorite💔

- he got fangs like a cat. he's literally just a big cat

- tachihara saw fukuchi as a father figure. he used to admire him a lot and think he was super cool so he sometimes copied his posture or mannerisms. im saying that bcs of this artwork! like look he's literally copying him they're so cute😭

so imagine how absolutly disappointed he was when he learnt he was kamui.. and when the man he kinda saw like his dad stabbed his eyes... :/ womp womp

- jouno believes he is the most beautiful mesmerizing creature to have ever blessed this planet

- natsume is trans!!! he's a calico cat!!! calico cats are at 99.9% females!!! NATSUME IS AFAB

- he's katai's dad. don't ask me why it's just that scene where he shows up at katai's house they got such a cute dynamic he's his father in my head

- ango got the worst eye correction ever. probably has bifocal glasses for staying on his computer for so long

- kyu does age regression, because this is NOT a 13 years old

- katai is an avid reddit user. he is not the same person online his digital footprint is ass

- i feel like he would love shoujo and slice of life anime that are girl lead like k-on, lucky star, nichijou or azumanga daioh. but not in a weird way. he would envy feminity, how in touch with their own feelings they are, and women frienship and intimacy, he wishes he could experience that too

- he loves cats and wishes he could adopt one but he knows that he wouldn't be able to take care of it in his state and would probably forget to feed it

My brain just hit an old hyperfixation (is this what it's called? I hope I used the word right) and oh dear am I losing my mind now. I need to write a story I think. About this one old guy. He's unhinged. There's so much information about him and yet not enough. I want to explore his character so much. He's definitely a criminal - at least he was one - and I'm 95% sure he can do actual real magic, and he's a musician and an artist and an actor and a magician and a philosopher and a traveler and a conman and so much more and also I think he's some kind of immortal. Maybe he just has a VERY long life. It's strongly implied he was a pirate at some point of his life. He started a cult by accident several times. My conspiracy theories about him include him being a secret god.

He's also a freaking round blue raven. Someone save me from my mind.

[narwhalandchill]

also mistake not my silence on the summer event story now that its all out for not paying attention bc. well firstly not going to be the subject of this post but seriously just the . Overall implications of the whole thing when it comes to teyvat and genshin as a whole? wild stuff like are they rly out there revealing the entire cosmology now 😭 (tho i kinda have. Mixed thoughts as well)

anyway secondly and most importantly because of course i have priorities (its ajax we all know) . soooo simulanka and names eh?

HUH!

well not that i was any doubter to begin with in that it like. meant something when hit game jenshin impact featuring guy already foreshadowed and being set up for some real curious world-overturning and celestia torching business etc etc etc coincidentally named. ajax. among other things. that the same game happening to Also begin introducing this whole other ajax/aias as an actual historical figure featured within the games lore and legends. would very much be just a massive fucking thing we Should be taking very seriously in terms of his future development but like thanks very much for confirming it too uwu

anyway let us look at my favorite french cultist scribbled note for no particular reason once more just to celebrate the occasion

i mean what can i say man . truly the endgame relevance long term allegations continue undodged 😤😤

anyway whats kinda funny to me is the way a lot of ppls reaction to this name confirmation seems to be like. omg ajax is in trouble now bc irl mythology ajax died and ajax/aias of genshin also seems to have possibly had a shit fate by the end im so worried omg . when like. literally the second part to this whole "name = inheriting destiny" thing we see in simulanka is that . with the right circumstances . the one that inherits the name and destiny is not necessarily doomed to that exact same outcome as the original . like we all did see how we saved simulanka durin right?? and how the existence of mini durin may now open up the possibility of teyvats durin to receive a different outcome to his tale???? right??

like why do ppl have so little faith in childe im 😭 like if you ask me hes Already giving indication of defying his fate in a multitude of ways (vision malfunction being a big one) so personally i simply think we need to let him do his thing and see where he goes with it . i have faith in him like if Anyones abt to subvert the fate hes been set up with be it due to his name or any other reason . its gonna be him lmao

like. its not even new stuff kwdwdjkdwjk

either way tho . even if this fucker straight up "dies" or goes MIA im not even that worried bc. ppl worrying about this "tragic fate" his namesake seems to be conferring to him by default with simulankas explicit confirmation of a names meaning . and its just are we straight up missing the fact that this historical ajax/aias is Literally connected to that rent free narzissenkreuz note that EXPLICITLY aligns this "tragedy" with the theme of REBIRTH. and becoming a descender straight up .

like maybe its just me but this Really isnt giving "omg childe is going to die due to mirroring the fate of ajax" its giving "childe is Literally being set up to become sth descender equivalent one way or another AND theyre doubling down on it now" im sorry 😭

like. even the implications of phrases like. "forsaking the self" to be reborn in the abyss just reminds me of this. weird panic people have around childes vision malfunction as if its like. vision is GOOD ambition and his GOOD ending and his GOOD characteristics and it malfunctioning means BAD EVIL SIN ambition and WRONG characteristics is taking over!!!!!!!11! hes being torn into two different directions and the abyss is bad and vision (=celestia) is good!!!!!1

and its like. say we even buy that (but like dang what a sustainer sponsored take to have in a. gnostic inspired lore environment JWSJKJKSF) . that his. "correct" and "healthy" destiny as vision wielder (that Every single recipient of a "gods EYE" gets like forcibly and irrevocably bound to by design and surely this isnt problematic at all) . is a part of that "self" that is being forsaken and twisted as his destiny pushes against celestias control and his connection to said vision falters . lets say we assume that is a "bad" thing for his "intended" path and destiny somehow .

(which YES it prolly is. but only within the bounds of a world order set up by the heavenly principles!!! of COURSE the HP would force people into destinies and paths that Only serve the continuity of its rule!!! and doesnt shake up the system!! like yes a vision likely represents and assigns to people a "Good" ambition but thats not from the recipients POV thats from celestias POV and at this point its just. fellas. we are not supposed to buy into that at face value lmao)

which like. again. i v much dont buy anyway i think every single time genshin calls something sin or forbidden it should be assessed v critically.

but even with that assumption we can still see how this very note is already implicating that "forsaking the self" is Literally a prerequisite . in this grand destiny featuring ajax/aias . for reaching True rebirth as a holy infant and a descender and all that . for defying the shackles of the heavens . for gaining a will that rivals the world . right???

+ also if like. forsaking the self being mayhaps and perchance more of a GOOD thing in a world with preordained and unyielding destiny set up by false divinity wasnt already established enough

welp thank you rene narzissenkreuz.

oh "excising the self" you say?? that sure sounds a bit like "forsaking the self" doesnt it ??? how curious that it would be considered less of a "death" and more of a "rebirth" indeed . and that a vision to a cultist very invested in the methods available to Defy a prophecy and fate is very much a bad thing to receive . like what a coincidence that we would have a note like this as an established character already tied to a note you wrote about acquiring a descenders will is experiencing vision compatibility issues its very funny indeed.

so like ig what im trying to say is just idk for me personally if ajax is out there forsaking his self by any metric im just gonna be cheering him on <3

but yeah jkqjkwdjkwdjkwd dont mind me im just kinda rent free with how its now just even more confirmed by hoyo that this insane ajax/aias note stuff is Not meant to be coincidental At All (even tho its very funny ppl doubted the signifance to begin with at all). but also i just dont get the panicking abt it being some bad thing lmao like this is just genuinely hype as fuck for him 😭😭😭

||. finally going to bed thinking about lore - keeper asgardians . thinking about how intelligence and wisdom are one of their favored traits. thinking about how thor is the best of every asgardian ideal . thinking about how he is wise . thinking about his street - smarts . thinking about how he is also knowledgeable in legends , lore , and folktale. he is adaptable . he takes this knowledge , adapts to it , and crafts himself into something stronger. he is ever growing , and one of those ways is how he seeks out knowledge , and knows well to keep a sharp mind on the tales told by word of mouth or written on a page.
