[RO-TO-TO! AN AUDIO FILE HAS BEEN UPLOADED!]

[LISTEN?]

the sheets rustle softly before a litten mews. the litten begins to purr softly. there are noticeable absol chitters in the background throughout the recording.

“well, did you like canalave?”

“yeah. it was really cool.”

“sounds like you’re really passionate about that.”

a soft sigh. the microphone presses into some fabric.

“i just don’t feel good, honestly.”

“why? what’s up?”

“it just feels like something’s wrong. my phone keeps acting weird, and willow is really worrying me.”

“the doctors said she’s-“

“i know what the doctors said!”

a moment of silence. a moment of guilt.

“sorry.”

“‘s fine.”

“i didn’t mean to yell.”

“i know you didn’t.”

“i’m so worried about her, guz. if she’s already picking up on something… i don’t know what it could be. when we had that big storm last year, she only got worried the day before. she doesn’t even get like this over those wormholes.”

“well… whatever it is, i’m gonna keep you safe.”

“mhm…”

“no, i’m being for real. if shit goes down, i’ll keep you safe.”

“well… thanks.”

the sheets rustle a bit more. absol continues to make noise as the recording ends.

I’ve observed this very peculiar phenomenon where queer people, or so-called queer people, de-politicize being queer. It’s more about cracking jokes about kissing girls or having crushes on boys than it is about being part of the greater community at large

These people shit the bed for us yesterday because they “didn’t like either candidate” and decidedly didn’t think it was a serious enough issue to vote to protect their community, or any other marginalized community, and I honestly think it’s because some people in this space with us are not queer

If you didn’t vote yesterday, I am metaphorically ripping your sleeves and shoving you off the boat

I just don’t understand how everyone rallied for Biden four years ago but when it came time to rally for Kamala…after pushing Biden out because y’all complained he was too old but now trumps the oldest president… we ended up back here. Like make it fucking make sense to me

Is it because people just refuse to vote for a woman president? Is it because the left refuses to come together for any candidate until you get the Perfect one (which is never going to happen cuz a perfect anything does not exist, especially a human being)?

Like help me understand I’m so fucking tired

A/N: So Price won by a landslide in the poll😂 here's one of the fics I had planned so I hope yall enjoy! I did right this pretty drunk so apologies if it isn't great

Also, I didn't expect so many people to vote so thank you all so much!😭🫶🏼 Requets are also open!! Feel free to send in whatever you want just make sure it follows my blog rules! I've also got a few more fics in my drafts as well :)

***beware of typos(I tried my best to catch them all)

John turned the ignition off and his truck came to a stop. He looked at the house the two of you shared and smiled as he took in the warm glow coming from the window. Before you came into his life the house was cold and dark; he preferred coming home to this rather than the dark windows he used to. John opened the door and stepped out, wincing as he irritated the bruised muscles. This last deployment was harder than most; although everyone made it back alive, and for that he was thankful, going hand-to-hand with a mercenary ended with the mercenary dead but John fell from a metal walkway grate to the ground below. It resulted in a number of bruises, scratches, and a sprained shoulder.

John lifted his duffle bag out of the back seat and thought about how you would fret over the bruises that blemished his skin. You always checked him when he came home to see if he gained any new scars or broken body parts and he found it endearing. He walked slowly toward the door, his sore body preventing him from going faster. He dug in his pocket for his key and slipped it into the lock before stepping inside. “Love I’m home,” He called out, setting his duffle bag down by the door with a sigh of relief to have the weight off of his injured shoulder; he had a brace that kept him from moving his shoulder but it did nothing for the annoying pain of putting weight on it.

“Back here!” He heard your voice coming from the shared bedroom so he toed off his boots and walked down the hallway. He saw soft light coming from the bathroom and when he walked in he saw something that made his breath catch in his throat. You were in the bathtub with your hair loosely pulled back and sipping on a glass of wine, candles casting a warm illuminating glow. It wasn't anything overly sexual but it still made his face flush; here he was nearing forty and you made him feel like a school boy. “Hey love,” he said, taking in the sight of you before bending down and giving you a kiss. “I’m so glad you’re home,” You said, a heavy weight finally lifting off your chest at seeing your fiancée back in one piece. The black brace over his beige shirt was not lost on you but you didn’t say anything as you decided it was not as bad as it could be. “How’s the bath?��� John asked. “You could always join me and find out,” You said, taking a sip of the red wine, looking at him over the rim of the glass. “Now how could I say no to that?” He smirked.

He took off the brace that was nothing but uncomfortable before undoing his belt and stripping off his pants. He slipped off his shirt, wincing as his shoulder twinged, and heard you gasp. “John!” You did your once over to ensure he hadn’t come home severely injured when your eyes landed on the bruises that colored his torso. “What the hell happened?” You asked, wincing when you thought about what could’ve caused such bruises. “If I told you that love, you’d be even more frantic,” He chuckled. “Don’t laugh John!” You chastised. John slipped in behind you after stripping completely, groaning at the warm water, and let you rest against him. “I’m sorry love but don’t freak out too much,” He replied. “They really do look worse than they are,” He added, planting a kiss on your head. He felt you relax more, as if you were afraid of hurting him, and he sighed. The weight of you pressed against him was actually comforting and he wrapped his arms around you. “At least you came home to me alive,” You said. “Just like I promised,” John replied, a long sigh leaving his body.

The two of you just sat there for a little while, your thumb absentmindedly grazing John’s arm; grateful to have your fiancée back. You felt him rest his head on your shoulder and his weary body sagged as he relaxed. You shifted and accidentally pressed your weight on one of John’s bruises and he grunted. “I’m sorry babe!” You said, turning around to sit on his lap carefully trying to avoid the purple-ish tender spots. “Don’t worry I’m tougher than I look,” He joked, running his hands along your sides. “You know,” You started, wrapping your arms around his neck. “I think I know of a way to make you feel better,” You said in a slow voice. “Oh yeah? I think I’m liking where this is going,” John replied, planting a kiss on your nose, then your cheeks, and finally your lips. ‘Hmm… I like the way you think but I was actually thinking about a massage,” You said. “Help those aching muscles,” You offered and smiled as he smirked. “Now that’s a good way to welcome a man home,” he said with a cheeky grin. “Why don’t you go lay on the bed and I’ll dry off and get the oil,” You suggested and stepped out of the tub.

You felt John’s hungry eyes on you and you grinned; John always made you feel desirable even on your worst day. You heard the water splash as John stepped out after pulling the plug, dripping water on the floor. You wrapped yourself in a towel and felt him swat your ass, eliciting a squeal out of you as he laughed. “Don’t take too long,” He said. John also grabbed a towel and quickly dried himself, being mindful of his injuries, and pulled on a clean pair of boxers. You emerged from the bathroom with a bottle of baby oil and saw John lounging on the bed, his pupils blown wide with lust as he watched your towel clad body. “See something you like?” You teased, before dropping the towel leaving you stark naked and John groaned. “I think you should stay like this all the time,” He said, a bit disappointed when you pulled on a bra and panty set. “I suggest you settle down; you’re not exactly in peak condition for sex,” You chuckled. “Come on turn over,” You said, and waited until he was laying on his stomach, arms relaxed.

You got on top of him and straddled his hips, taking notice of the scratches on his back. There were several silver lines across his body from his several years of military service. You had counted every scar on his body countless times so you could always know when he got new ones. But these scratches were new; red and fresh in contrast to the silver healed scars. You squirted a quarter sized amount of baby oil on your hands, rubbed them together, and pressed your hands firmly on John’s back. Using light pressure you began to knead his shoulders, mindful not to press too hard on his injured one, and firmly moved down to his lower back. “Jesus love,” John groaned. John felt himself further relax as you helped ease his aching muscles. You used your thumbs to press into his lower back and rub in small circles before continuing those small circles all the way up his back to his neck.

You loved feeling his skin underneath your hands; the way his muscles rippled when you touched him and it made you feel good that you were able to give him this attention. You heard grunts and moans as you continued to work on his back and shoulders, slowly massaging away the tension that rested in his muscles. You felt your tough military husband become putty under your hands and you couldn't help but grin. “You know I was thinking,” you said, feeling him tense as you needed a particularly large knot at the base of his neck. “What's that love?” He grunted, his voice slurring slightly as your hands slowly lulled him closer to sleep. “I know we had plans to go to that new French place for dinner but maybe we could stay in tomorrow?” You suggested to him. “Maybe just stay in bed and order takeout,” you continued, applying a little more oil onto your hands and rubbing your hands down his arms as he lazily nodded his head. “Would you like that?” You asked. When you didn’t get a response you looked down at his languid form and realized his breathing had become deeper and he started to snore a little. You smiled and slowly got off his back, careful not to wake him, and pulled the covers over him. “Good night John,” you whispered, planting a kiss on his cheek and turning off the lamp before climbing in bed next to him. You soon fell asleep and slept better than you had in months.

== Love Notes ==

Hey there lovelies. It's been a long beginning of the week for me.. as you can see I'm several days late again.

I just wanted to send a quick reminder that I badly needed this week.. and that is that we are not defined by our low points.

Sometimes things are not gonna go our way, no matter how much we plan, or try to make them do it, and sometimes we just gotta let the tide take us in a direction until it calms the hell down. When it finally does, you're gonna still be the same kind, and wonderful person you've always been-- maybe with some new outlooks or experiences, or even some new lessons learned. We're never the same person we were the day before, but we can still hold onto the things that make us us. Your kindness, your love, your laughter, and your tears... and so much more. Hard times don't define us lovelies, we define us. I hope this week goes in an upward direction for you, and the tides calm down a bit. Please know, even when I'm not around I'm always thinking of you. Take care <3

preview below poll!

[dappersappho]

I know yall are sick of the “vote blue no matter who, we can’t let Trump win, lesser of two evils” bullshit that’s been happening for 8 years now. I get it. I voted for Jill Stein in 2016 -my second time voting in a presidential election- because I was sick of it, too.

But that’s the thing. This “vote blue no matter who” rhetoric wasn’t a thing before 2016. At least, not in the circles I was in (I may have heard it in passing in 2012, but there wasn't as much emphasis on it). It goes to show that Trump was, and still is, an even bigger threat to our democracy than any other Republican candidate ever has been. Even Republicans know this and have stated they’ll be voting for Harris because of it.

You’ve been hearing “don’t let Trump win” three times now because he keeps running. That it’s “not a good time” to try and cast your third party votes. I hate to break it to you but, as long as he’s able to run, it won't be a good time to vote third party. He’ll keep trying to win again and you’ll keep being persuaded to vote for the Democrat, even if they suck. The only way it’ll stop is if he can’t run because he’s not gonna give up.

It sucks that your choices are a candidate who's paying lip service to both sides of the Israel/Palestine issue and a candidate who has straight up admitted that he wants to be a dictator and will help Israel "finish the job". But believe me when I say that voting for the former while supporting Palestine will not make you a hypocrite. By all means, keep supporting the cause. Keep protesting and petitioning. Keep buying keffiyehs. Keep donating and spreading the word about families in need. But also do what's right by your fellow Americans.

Party Favor Sketches of 2024 thank you all so much who requested them and I hope I did all your characters justice! I had an absolute blast and a half on these and they absolutely made the lead up to my birthday so much more fun! I love this tradition and am so happy to have made these for yall!! Now for all the lovely folks who wanted one!

@evinleighfantasy I had to go with Alev tbh he was a blast to draw and I hope his outfit is okay I did a bit of a winging it for it! XD Hopefully his tum doesn't slow him down when he serves up some smiles! I feel like his food and drink will have an even more full and lovely taste especially since he is so full and lovely himself! X3

@bat-fat Bats and trees are the perfect combo so why not a very preggy BatFat taking a lovely relaxing time in the tree with some apples above for a little snack just in case! And all the greenery definitely is more vibrant because a certain tanuki is nearby <3

@cheezihouse Yeehaw for cowboys I tell ya! And Sawyer stole my heart the first time you talked about him so I had to draw him and I must say I had a blast! I cannot draw cowboy hats but I hope I did his justice and well I had to draw him showing off his tum of course!

@dotjpreg Another take on cowboy this time he is rocking a cow print sweater and taking a cozy break on a hay bale! My first time drawing Jaden and I had so much fun I love him so much I had such a hard time picking who to draw but Jaden stole the vote because I couldn't help but imagine him in a cow print sweater taking in a nice cozy day cause he deserves it! <3

@a-ding-dong-blog This one is more of a magical journey for Sasha a nice cozy woodland brimming with magic just seemed the perfect place for him to maybe cast a little magic! I fell in love with the drawing of Sasha with the pink magical wisps on his page and had to implement that somehow and decided why not a mystical forest vibe and a cute tum to match <3

Anyway thank yall so much again for requesting and also just being amazing artists it was an absolute honor to draw yalls absolutely gorgeous characters! And being able to draw a little doodle for yall was a birthday treat for me too I had fun and I loved every minute of every sketch! It felt like I was putting together goodie bags for a party thats the happy vibes I got from it! Remember yall are awesome and stay amazing! X3

Defo go and give all these amazing peeps a follow too btw! <3

Scheming - Damian Wayne x Vigilante Reader blurb

this one is goofy

enjoy yall

- - - 

Reader is a young sprouting vigilante that was recently accepted to the Teen Titans. They have been described as an "airhead" at times, but always come through when needed.

Damian doesn't buy it.

He thinks this "New Addition" to the team is a complete mistake. It jeopardizes the team's security and embarrasses them as a whole. This sad excuse of a vigilante does not deserve to be on the Titans! 

"Grayson, I cast my vote against this satirical wannabe- yet they are still here! What will it take for my word to be taken seriously!" 

"Aw give them a chance Damian. Besides, did any of your thorough investigations and screenings produce valuable evidence in favor of your accusations?"

 Damian scowls.*"Tt* not YET, but when they do- and all of the Titans secrets are exposed for the world to see- everyone will see I was right and regret dismissing me. Just LOOK at them! They're scheming something for sure."

Meanwhile, Y/N's brain-

*UP-SIDE IN-SIDE OUTTT, LIVING LA VIDA LOCAAA

HER LIPS-ARE-DEVIL-RED, AND HER SKINS THE COLOR MOCHAA!!

SHE WILL WEAR YOU OUTT, LIVIN LA VIDA LOCAAA*

[the-octic-scribe]

(Tw, this post dissects a poem I wrote about a being contemplating suicide, but it is not graphic. But also I need help as an arist from other artists.)

Okay, so I'm at this weird debate point about talking down to my reader. So like on one hand, with poetry at least, I have always been told that you shouldn't explain your work. For both the reasons of its pejorative and that you diminish the expression of the peice.

It's that second peice that really fucking gets me. That if I say "what it means" then that takes away some of your experience. But like... unless I become someone who is studied in classes (which I deeply crave) then like... I want you all to know, what it ment to me.

Sure, the author is dead. Slain at the printing press and bound by their muse. But like... If everyone gets one vote on what a piece of art means, then I want my vote to matter too. As much I want to say "Here. Take upon it to yourself to understand my art. Let Lucida, lo my great muse, show you bueaty and Art and Life through this ink. Let me not interfere."

But on the other hand, I want what I have gone through to be able to be seen by someone other than me.

For example, did you know that the peice "sirens" is about someone who has unalived themselves and is debating whether or not to do so again, with the song of the sirens representing the allure of death, the cast iron altar being a cast iron bathtub, and... yeah? Like if you read it on a deeper level you understand that if the sirens call to them drown themselves in the tub.(but they decide against it, promising to do an action in the morning) I feel like that's pertiant information to understand the poem. But I'm not sure how as a poet to explain what the hell is happening.

Maybe that's all really obvious? But like I need feedback on my pieces...

Should I tell the secrets of thoth, hidden in the loam? Or simply let its emerald glow catch the eyes of the wise?

**I need yall to fucking comment if you've read to the bottom of this post, im in dire need of help my dudes**

[koicrimes]

so anyways, yall think his cock and balls was hangin and swangin under that robe or was he wearing some drawers? 🤔

== Love Notes ==

Hey there lovelies, I hope your Monday started your week off well <3 As I'm sitting here typing this I have my son asleep under one arm, so I apologize if this is a bit scattered. I saw this infographic today and it made me think of you all. I don't know about you, but I spent a lot of my life thinking I had to do everything, excel at everything, have all the money, and the car, and the house, and the kids, etc. But you know what? Life isn't about having everything. It's about finding the things you love and matter most to you and focusing on them. The things that matter most to me will absolutely be different from everyone else (we may share some of the same) but no two people are exactly the same when it comes to interests, and thats beautiful. Dig deep into the things you love crew, and remember you don't have to feel any shame for the things that mean the most to you. Do you like video games? Or Ornithology? How about fanfiction? Or maybe Indy 500 races? Do you find joy when you're alone in the woods? Or sitting out with friends at a bar? Do you enjoy being alone? Or maybe you love to sing your heart out at karaoke? Whatever it is you love-- embrace it, whether it's "Weird" by someone else's standards or not. If it makes you smile, if it makes you enjoy your time on this little blue dot-- dive in lovelies, with no regrets. I so very hope that even if it's only little bits at a time this week you get to spend doing the things you love, whatever that may be. Rest well and drink some water tonight <3 Love you crew
