Fictional couples that have a sexy/really attractive woman, and a shorter but really loving and caring partner my beloved.
I'm looking at these two couples:
Let's just say it, both Jessica and Calhoun are lucky to have a fully functioning, healthy, and happy relationship.
Jessica loves Roger because he makes her laugh, and Calhoun fell for Felix because of his heroic heart.
One last thing, if we can headcannon that Jessica Rabbit is asexual, we could also headcannon that Sargeant Calhoun is asexual too.
I mean both of them are very conventionally attractive because of how they're drawn/animated.
Besides, sexuality is independent of a person’s appearance. Asexuality is also not confined to a stereotypical look, and the same can apply to how couples present themselves too.
What I'm trying to say is, there's no stereotypical look that a person or couple should adhere to.
Love and relationships come in many different forms and are diverse.
And that's why I love these two fictional relationships so much.
#I just want to put my thoughts about these relationships out there#I love both of these movies too#they deserve the recognition#the definition of true love are these two couples#sergeant calhoun is now an asexual icon#that's my headcannon now#ok ill shut up now#random fandom stuff#who framed roger rabbit#jessica rabbit#roger rabbit#wreck it ralph#wir#wir movie#sargeant calhoun#tamora jean calhoun#fix it felix jr#my thoughts#international asexuality day#asexuality#asexual#asexual pride

Nobody ever tells you what to do when you see your friends in pain
#tw sh#me and them are good friends they’re one of the most kind silly friendly intelligent responsible people I know#and I sit next to them and I can’t tell you the sharp feeling you get looking at the new scars on your friends legs and thighs#we’re not more than school friends so I suppose it plainly isn’t my place to say anything but .#idk what to do#once a billion yrs ago i did smth similar because I thought I deserved it for being a bad sibling - I would never want someone to bring up#my internal struggles to me .. but does everyone feel the same ? they wear skirts and shorts often . I have to wonder if it’s a conscious#decision - like an ask for help or recognition or anything#maybe I’ll ask my dad ..

September 17, 2008
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev speaks with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin during their meeting in the Kremlin in Moscow. Russia was expected Wednesday to sign agreements formalising diplomatic and military relations with two rebel regions in Georgia despite anger from Tbilisi and its Western allies. Medvedev was to sign "friendship, cooperation and mutual help" pacts in a 3:00 pm (1100 GMT) ceremony with the leaders of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, whose independence is recognised only by Russia and Nicaragua.

Never to late to be appreciated for what you do.
Dante Alighieri wasn't kicked out of Florence until he was 36.
So you're telling me that my boy, self-depricating, LGBT protecting, women's rights supporting, Shakespeare promoting, and Scottish Presbyterian work ethic David Tennant, has been nominated for two prestigious awards within about a week of each other at age 52 (and 11/12ths)?
Up top, my man.
#i love him don't @ me#david tennant#finally he's nominated#don't start the whole thing about why Michael wasn't & it's not fair & that they're a duo and that Crowley would be nothing without Micheal#I totally get that#but Michael gets his daily dose of international recognition#(he deserves it and you know it)#and I don't think he'd mind his bestie getting some too#so#i said what i said#i don't take or give constructive criticism#this isn't a charity

LaRue Burbank, mathematician and computer, is just one of the many women who were instrumental to NASA missions.
4 Little Known Women Who Made Huge Contributions to NASA
Women have always played a significant role at NASA and its predecessor NACA, although for much of the agency’s history, they received neither the praise nor recognition that their contributions deserved. To celebrate Women’s History Month – and properly highlight some of the little-known women-led accomplishments of NASA’s early history – our archivists gathered the stories of four women whose work was critical to NASA’s success and paved the way for future generations.
LaRue Burbank: One of the Women Who Helped Land a Man on the Moon
LaRue Burbank was a trailblazing mathematician at NASA. Hired in 1954 at Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory (now NASA’s Langley Research Center), she, like many other young women at NACA, the predecessor to NASA, had a bachelor's degree in mathematics. But unlike most, she also had a physics degree. For the next four years, she worked as a "human computer," conducting complex data analyses for engineers using calculators, slide rules, and other instruments. After NASA's founding, she continued this vital work for Project Mercury.
In 1962, she transferred to the newly established Manned Spacecraft Center (now NASA’s Johnson Space Center) in Houston, becoming one of the few female professionals and managers there. Her expertise in electronics engineering led her to develop critical display systems used by flight controllers in Mission Control to monitor spacecraft during missions. Her work on the Apollo missions was vital to achieving President Kennedy's goal of landing a man on the Moon.
Eilene Galloway: How NASA became… NASA
Eilene Galloway wasn't a NASA employee, but she played a huge role in its very creation. In 1957, after the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, Senator Richard Russell Jr. called on Galloway, an expert on the Atomic Energy Act, to write a report on the U.S. response to the space race. Initially, legislators aimed to essentially re-write the Atomic Energy Act to handle the U.S. space goals. However, Galloway argued that the existing military framework wouldn't suffice – a new agency was needed to oversee both military and civilian aspects of space exploration. This included not just defense, but also meteorology, communications, and international cooperation.
Her work on the National Aeronautics and Space Act ensured NASA had the power to accomplish all these goals, without limitations from the Department of Defense or restrictions on international agreements. Galloway is even to thank for the name "National Aeronautics and Space Administration", as initially NASA was to be called “National Aeronautics and Space Agency” which was deemed to not carry enough weight and status for the wide-ranging role that NASA was to fill.
Barbara Scott: The “Star Trek Nerd” Who Led Our Understanding of the Stars
A self-described "Star Trek nerd," Barbara Scott's passion for space wasn't steered toward engineering by her guidance counselor. But that didn't stop her! Fueled by her love of math and computer science, she landed at Goddard Spaceflight Center in 1977. One of the first women working on flight software, Barbara's coding skills became instrumental on missions like the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) and the Thermal Canister Experiment on the Space Shuttle's STS-3. For the final decade of her impressive career, Scott managed the flight software for the iconic Hubble Space Telescope, a testament to her dedication to space exploration.
Dr. Claire Parkinson: An Early Pioneer in Climate Science Whose Work is Still Saving Lives
Dr. Claire Parkinson's love of math blossomed into a passion for climate science. Inspired by the Moon landing, and the fight for civil rights, she pursued a graduate degree in climatology. In 1978, her talents landed her at Goddard, where she continued her research on sea ice modeling. But Parkinson's impact goes beyond theory. She began analyzing satellite data, leading to a groundbreaking discovery: a decline in Arctic sea ice coverage between 1973 and 1987. This critical finding caught the attention of Senator Al Gore, highlighting the urgency of climate change.
Parkinson's leadership extended beyond research. As Project Scientist for the Aqua satellite, she championed making its data freely available. This real-time information has benefitted countless projects, from wildfire management to weather forecasting, even aiding in monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic. Parkinson's dedication to understanding sea ice patterns and the impact of climate change continues to be a valuable resource for our planet.

Mostly I was responding to the points raised in @scarrletmoon's response, but you raise some excellent points to which I'd like to respond. Feel free to ignore if you're tired of my bullshit. I completely understand the impulse. 1st, you're absolutely right; I was coming across as gate-keepery by saying that I find Stede's eccentricities charming as though that ought be the default experience. For that I apologize. I ought to have taken more care. When I said "And that's valid, but I would say that those are the parts that the crew and Ed grow to love once they embrace those parts of him instead of cringing at them" what I meant to convey is that the experience of 2nd-hand embarrassment when Stede does something that recalls to the viewer times when they have felt ashamed/were made to feel shame because of something they did is absolutely understandable, but we can take heart in Stede being accepted & loved for those parts of him, & find hope that so too may we be embraced for our own quirks & foibles. My intention was to encourage others to be more gentle with & accepting of their own perceived failings, but I can see now that I failed to adequately express that, & for that I am sorry. I do take issue with the suggestion that I am strawmanning, though; I would argue that how one views Stede's motivation & framing absolutely informs the extent to which/moments in which one finds his behavior cringe-worthy. In your original post, you contend Stede is "pretending to be this macho pirate captain who totally knows what he's doing" & your response above adds he's a bad manager & a jerk because he's praising himself & chiding his employees, whom you interpret as him treating as stand-ins for his own children. If that's how you're framing the scenario, then, sure - I can see how his behavior comes across as cringe to you. But that's not at all how I perceived it. I will grant he is pretending more expertise than he actually possesses, but he IS a pirate captain, & as to the attribution of "macho" I absolutely disagree, specifically because he is textually interested in a form of piracy that is not that. Because that is my understanding of the scene, in the debrief scene I see a person excited at the success of what, if Black Pete is to be believed, is their very 1st raid, & doesn't understand why everyone else wasn't also chuffed. He then listens to Wee John' criticism & encourages him to clarify WHY he feels the way he does. When Wee John identifies the lack of a flag as a contributing factor to his disgruntlement, Stede provides materials so they can rectify the deficit. This isn't Stede forcing arts & crafts on these grown-ass men (& Jim) - it's Stede hearing a problem & supplying the means to a solution. Similarly, he hears out Buttons about the crew's dissatisfaction, & tries to rectify it by finding a more appealing target for a raid, even though he obviously feels unequal to the task himself. To me, that's the complete opposite of a bad manager (to me he's a bad manager when he's being dismissive of the crew's input, like the fuckery brainstorming, & even then he climbs down from his high horse & apologizes. Which? GREAT manager!). Where you see Stede infantilizing his crew, I see them taking part in activities that, while generally relegated to childhood, aren't implicitly childish, & of their own volition, & Stede sowing the seeds that will eventually blossom into a found family (not imposing an established family structure). For clarity, I'm not saying my interpretation is objectively right, nor that yours is wrong. I'm just saying framing is going to influence perception of whether Stede's behavior is Cringe, & that's kind of what I was getting at with my myriad examples of Stede behaving "authentically" or "inauthentically" & when that is a viable predictor of a general fandom perception of when Stede is being Cringe. Because I really don't think it is. This is going to continue in the notes because tumlr thinks they can cut my mic.
listen I love stede a lot - I think he's the bravest character in the show. he changes everyone he meets for the better. he embodies what I think of as the thesis of the show. if he wasn't the way that he is, the show would not be very good, imo.
but in ep one he gives his pirate crew notes on the raid they just did as though they were a community theater troupe and his notes were 1) complimenting his own opening speech as "very inspiring" and 2) complaining that that the crew wasn't sufficiently enthusiastic about robbing two poor fisherman of a single plant.
during the raid his narration went "some men are born to be pirate captains, others learn on the job. me? well I'm a pretty solid mix of both" as though he has any idea what he's doing.
and AFTER the raid Olu has to gently point out to him that piracy isn't a game to the rest of the crew.
There's a reason that Rhys Darby was the only person capable of playing Stede without making him seem like a total dick. And I think that's bc Rhys was able to convey the idea that Stede's behavior in the first few eps is coming out of this deep sense of insecurity - he's doing some Stede-y things (flag making! paying the crew! bedtime stories!) that are great but he's also pretending to be this macho pirate captain who totally knows what he's doing. And it's the pretending that makes people cringe with second hand embarrassment. While also, often, seeing themselves in it and feeling a great deal of sympathy for Stede about it.
The reason Stede is like this is because HE thinks there's something deeply wrong with him, a belief that has been solidified by everyone around him his entire life, and therefore he needs to do everything he can to hide that deeply wrong thing about him. When he unpacks that and embraces the things about himself he originally thought were embarrassing (being weak, pathetic, soft, etc), he can stop pretending. And that's when other characters grow to love him! And so people will sometimes call him cringe because they aspire to be cringe like him, to embrace the parts of themselves that they were punished for and live more authentically.
because he changes! that's the point! he moves from cringe (pretending to be someone he's not) to cringe (being true to himself, always a deeply vulnerable thing to be) and it takes a lot of hard work. that's what makes me LIKE him as a character. that's what I think makes him the bravest character on the show. because he doesn't start out perfect. he's a puppet who grows into a real boy and that means that for a period of time he was a puppet, and that's okay.
#In your posts you say 'it's the pretending that makes people cringe with second hand embarrassment' & ''cringe' comes from when#you are trying to pass yourself off as something you’re not *& failing*.' I really can't say I agree. This is what I was trying to get at#when I was talking about the battle robe scene. Stede is pretending bravado when he calls the garment he put on to comfort himself#a 'battle robe' and when he asks for a 'refresher' on defensive maneuvers but no one is fooled by this affectation - not the audience & not#Jim & Olu. But this isn't the part of the scene that's Cringe even though Stede is pretending to be brave & failing badly.#The part that's Cringe is when he tries to claim affiliation with a group to which he doesn't belong & puts Olu in the position of having t#nicely explain why he's wrong. It's not the pretending that's Cringe it's the unexamined privilege & putting someone in an awkward position#I would argue that Cringe comes from the sympathetic recognition that someone is doing something they shouldn't & how you would feel#if you were in their place. I would like to share one of the times I find Ed Cringe that I don't normally see discussed in those terms#in fandom at large; the montage part of the French Party Boat scene when Ed is clowning around. I find this scene hard to watch because I#am intimate with the scenario of thinking you're among friends & being encouraged to act out only to find out later they were only feigning#friendliness & were laughing at rather than with you - with the shame of realizing you erroneously let yourself believe you were liked &#lending credence to the idea that you're *deserving* of derision by people who already held you in contempt by making a fool of yourself.#Again - not saying mine is the correct interpretation of this scene - just explaining how I perceived it.#Because my point is not that Ed *IS* Cringe in this moment but that we should all examine WHY we find a character's behavior Cringe.#WHAT about that scenario invokes that reaction? What messages have we internalized about Correct Social Behavior that is prompting it?#Are those messages valid? Are they something we want to continue to reinforce or would we be happier if we let them go?#This is what I meant when I said we should be cautious about trying to jam all the iterations of Cringe under a single umbrella term.#& why I think it's not useful to reclaim Cringe as an unambiguously positive term.#Because there ARE times when that Cringe response is identifying an actual social transgression.#I'd never say Stede is *never* Cringe 'cos there are times when he absolutely is. Like the 'one of the guys' part of the battle robe scene#When he says he's not a colonizer before the tribal council. Other times? That's more fungible.#& is going to depend a lot on the person perceiving the Cringe behavior & their own internalized deal.#If someone says 'Stede is Cringe & I love him' & means 'I love that he's unapologetically himself & loved for it & wish I was less worried#about what people think so I could be free to express myself like him' that's beautiful & I wish them luck & every happiness.#If what they mean is 'Stede gives zero fucks & has no filters & we should all be more like that' that's not just objectively untrue#it's also not how social contracts work. SOME filters are GOOD. Being aware of which ones you've internalized#& whether they're useful for you or holding you back is also good.#If what they mean as I've unfortunately seen all too often & makes me suspicious when I someone use Cringe as a blanket descriptor of Stede#is 'Look at that buffoon go. What a loser.' Meet me in the Denny's parking lot. I just want to talk. And keep some gates.

Only you
Pairing: Winter Soldier x Reader
Summary: You and the Winter soldier escape hydra together, and feelings for each other are revealed along the way
Meanings: солдат - soldier
Series Masterlist
Read part 2 here
Out of all the test subjects Hydra gave the serum to, only you survive. You and Soldat were the perfect soldiers of Hydra, their greatest weapons. They brainwash you both, but they overdo yours, and break your mind, making you forget all the memories pre serum, the life you previously had.
Hydra sends you both on missions to assassinate high level targets and you both end up saving each other's lives a lot of times, creating this weird dynamic. Even through the fragments of your mind, you seek the Soldat's presence, his powerful stance and intimidating silence, drawing you to him as your only sense of comfort.
No matter how many times Hydra wipes his memories, his feelings for you don't go away. When he realizes he cares about you, he's determined to find a way to save you.
Decades pass and one day Soldat returns from a mission. Looks like he didn't complete it as his metal arm had sustained heavy internal damage. He seems a bit off as you observe him from a corner. Alexander Pierce enters the room and asks him for the mission report.
The soldat doesn't reply, lost in thought. Pierce hits him on the face, the sound echoing through the room. You feel a flash of anger. "The man on the bridge" he says quietly to pierce, his face having a genuine expression of curiosity. "Who was he?"
"You met him earlier this week on another assignment." Pierce answers. "I knew him" Soldst's voice had a hint of faraway recognition. Pierce is clearly not happy. "Your work has been a gift to mankind. You shaped the century, and I need you to do it one more time." he takes a small pause. "If you don't do your part I can't do mine, and Hydra can't give the world the freedom it deserves.
The Soldat's face was sad, he pressed his lips for a second before speaking in a defeated tone "But I knew him" Pierce sighs in frustration and gets up from the chair. He looks at him for a moment before turning to the scientists "Prep him" One of them spoke up "But he's been out of cryo freeze too long." "Then wipe him and start over" Pierce answers.
Your heart skips a beat as you hear those words. Pierce leaves. the scientist push Soldat back in the chair. Machines attach themselves onto his head, cackling with electricity.
You grip the railing tightly as his horrific screams echoed through the room, his naked chest heaving with heavy breathing. Guards come and escort you elsewhere, but his screams were still ringing through your ears.
Hours later
You opened your eyes and stepped out of the cryo freeze, to see the scientists panicking and few armed guards shuffling around uncomfortably.
The head Doctor spoke up "This doesn't change anything. We still have one supersoldier left. The Asset's failure, though frustrating, is not a complete disaster. Captain America is dead. The collision of the helicarriers killed both of them."
Your blood runs cold as the sentence sinks in. A small gasp escapes your lips at the fact that he's gone. He couldn't be, you didn't want to believe it. The Doctor notices your gasp and turns to you with a darkened expression. "Look at this" he says in a mocking tone "You've grown feelings for him, have you?" he scoffs " Having emotions makes you weak. We've lost the Soldat, but we can still use you, make you the next perfect soldier"
You're frozen in place as the Doctor reveals the truth. "Wipe her" he commands the guards in an emotionless voice. You're still rooted to the ground as the guards approach you. They roughly push you into the chair and lock restraints around your wrists.
Your heart is thundering in your chest as the electrocuting machines on either side of your head are switched on with a small hum of electricity. Adrenaline courses through your veins as the contraption starts coming close to you. You shut your eyes tightly, bracing for the pain.
You feel the cool metal closing around your head for a second, then a huge wave of blinding pain shoots through you, it's like the voltage of an electric chair dialed up to 11. Your cries of pain fall on deaf ears, and you barely survive the first wave. Tears streak down your cheeks as you waited for the second wave. But it never comes.
You slowly open your eyes, still blurry with tears. You can't hear much due to the ringing in your ears, but you can make out that the machine's stopped. A loud crash breaks through the ringing, and you try to blink away the tears to see what's going on.
You see the soldat plowing through the guards and the terrified scientists. The way he was landing his punches was in pure rage, nothing like you've ever seen him before. You try to move, but you were tightly bound by the restraints. Your breathing was still ragged, the first wave left you with little energy.
Gentle fingers brush against your cheek, you snap your head from the restraints to see your savior. "солдат?" your voice is low and hoarse as you gaze into his piercing blue eyes, which were laced with concern. "Bucky" he says as he starts freeing you from the restraints.
You try to stand, but your knees were wobbly, Bucky swiftly grabs your arm to steady you. His eyes scan you for any other injuries. "I should have gotten here sooner" he says grimly, his hand wrapped around yours protectively. "They said that you died" you say slowly, looking up at him "They said the crash killed you, but you survived. Why didn't you run?"
"I couldn't leave" Bucky answers, his gaze softening as he continues "Not without you. Not when you were still trapped." His metal arm reached up and brushed some hair that had fallen over your face, this action made your stomach flip. The atmosphere between you two changed.
"So, uh" you say awkwardly, breaking the silence "Where do we go now?" "I have a place in Romania. We should be safe there." He answers.
"Great" You're trying to sound like you're okay, even though you were anything but okay on the inside, all of these emotions swirling inside of you. He could never know you think he'll never feel the same
You started walking to the exit, but Bucky caught your arm. You turned to him "Aren't we leaving?" He took a deep breath before speaking "Before I killed the Doctor, he said that you had grown attached to me and" he paused for a moment and blinked slowly "that you had feelings for me"
Your breath slightly hitched as he finally learnt your secret. "He also tried to insult you, but I snapped his neck before he could finish the sentence" Bucky takes a step closer to you. "Is that true? That- that you have feelings for me?" he asks slowly. You only nodded, not knowing what to say.
"How long?" As you're thinking what to say, you suddenly realize that he's standing close to you, his lips only inches away. how you would love to- woah. Wait a minute. You snap out of your thoughts and rasp out "A while"
His flesh hand reached out and lightly traced your jaw with his fingers "Why didn't you say anything? he asks softly. You hesitated for a moment "I- I thought you didn't feel the same, because hydra removed emotions-" "Hydra couldn't take away this." He interrupted. His hand stilled and pulled away from your jaw. "They couldn't take you away from me. They didn't change the way I feel about you."
His metal arm wrapped around your waist, pulling you closer to him. Before you could realize what's happening. his lips were on yours. Your lips perfectly molded his, moving in sync. His other hand moved to the back of your head, pulling you closer and deepening the kiss.
His muscular frame covered you completely as his tongue brushed against your lip, silently asking for entry. You parted your lips slightly, allowing his tongue to slip inside. His tongue danced against yours as his hand moved through your hair.
You both pulled away after a few moments for air. Bucky's metal arm was tracing circles on your hip. "I'll never let them hurt you again" He whispers "I'll always keep you safe." He looks at you with utmost love and affection in his sky-blue eyes.
"Do you think we can make this work?" You whisper back, taking his hand in your own "The world won't accept this. They won't accept us. "Screw the world" Bucky replies firmly and squeezes your hand in reassurance "I don't care about the world, what they say or want, I don't." He intertwines his fingers with yours.
"I only care about you"

They may feel uncertain about expressing themselves creatively or worry that their gifts won’t be accepted.

Chiron in Scorpio-Those with this placement often experience a profound fear of betrayal or abandonment, which may lead them to struggle with vulnerability and opening up to others. Scorpio's energy is about facing the dark, hidden parts of ourselves, so Chiron in Scorpio individuals often deal with issues around power, sexuality, and emotional intensity. This wound can make them guarded in relationships and wary of opening up fully. Due to past experiences of betrayal or abandonment, they may have difficulty fully sharing themselves with others. These individuals might struggle with either taking too much control or feeling powerless. They might avoid situations where they feel vulnerable, or they may attempt to control others to prevent getting hurt. This wound can affect their sense of worth and comfort with their own sexuality. Healing involves recognizing that vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. Learning to open up, even if it feels risky, allows them to experience true intimacy and trust in relationships. Part of healing is diving into the subconscious fears and traumas that keep them from embracing life fully. Therapy, journaling, or shadow work can help them bring these fears to the surface and release them.
Chiron in Sagittarius- People with this placement may struggle with feeling disconnected from their own ideals, doubting their life path, or feeling misunderstood in their quest for meaning. This wound often originates from experiences where they felt suppressed or invalidated for their worldview, whether in family, culture, or education. This can lead to self-doubt, making them hesitant to openly express their ideas or beliefs. This could show up in fears around being “tied down” or in a reluctance to commit fully to one path or belief system.Sometimes, they may swing to the opposite extreme and feel an intense need to prove their knowledge or beliefs. This can stem from a subconscious fear of being invalidated, and part of healing involves letting go of this need to be “right.” Part of healing involves learning to trust their own intuition and inner guidance without seeking constant external validation. They are often wiser than they realize, and trusting their own voice is key. Chiron in Sagittarius individuals heal by understanding that purpose is a feeling that comes from within.
Chiron in Aquarius-They may experience feelings of alienation, misunderstanding, or being “different” from others, especially in terms of their ideals or unique personality traits. Chiron in Aquarius individuals often have unconventional ideas or unique ways of seeing the world, which may have been criticized or misunderstood. This creates a wound around expressing their true selves, leading them to feel like they must hide their uniqueness to avoid judgment. They may feel like outsiders, struggling to find groups that truly resonate with them. They may feel deeply disturbed by social issues, but this can also trigger feelings of helplessness or guilt for not being able to “fix” these problems. Healing involves learning to love and embrace what makes them different. Rather than conforming to gain approval, they heal by understanding that their uniqueness is their gift to the world.
Chiron in Pisces- Those with this placement often experience deep emotional pain or feel connected to the suffering of others, which can lead to confusion about where their feelings end and others' feelings begin. This can make it difficult for them to feel grounded, especially if they don’t have strong boundaries. This placement may indicate early-life experiences where one’s faith or connection to a higher power was challenged. They may carry a deep sense of existential sadness or feel disconnected from the divine, leading to a sense of purposelessness. Because of their intense sensitivity, people with Chiron in Pisces may turn to escapist tendencies—whether through daydreaming, fantasy, or substance use—to avoid emotional pain. Healing involves learning to set boundaries while still remaining compassionate. This placement’s journey often involves distinguishing between their emotions and others’ and learning to say “no” without feeling guilty. Learning to see their sensitivity as a gift, rather than a burden, is an important step in healing. Once they accept their compassionate nature, they can use it to support others in a balanced, healthy way.

Pedestal Mentality
Taking Your Desires off the Pedestal
We often place our desires on a pedestal, treating them as if they're unreachable, as something beyond our grasp, something we desperately need to be happy. But we forget that it's the opposite. Your desires are part of you, not something separate or distant. They're possible and natural realities, just like the blue sky you see every day.
When you recognize that your desires are an extension of your own capability, you become the creator of your reality. This gives you a sense of control and power.
Put Yourself on the Pedestal
Putting yourself on the pedestal means recognizing your own value and power. It's an act of self-affirmation that allows you to see your qualities. It's a vital practice for building a healthy self-concept and ensuring that you don't depend on external validation.
So, rewrite your internal narrative: We often compare ourselves to others, which can lead to feelings of inadequacy. For example, instead of thinking, "But it's so hard for this to happen, it makes no sense," switch to "What I want wants me even more, effortlessly." It's just a shift in perspective, but it changes everything, trust me.
By taking your desires off the pedestal, you free yourself from the limitations imposed by idealization. This shift not only makes manifestation easier but also improves your quality of life because you become the architect of your reality. Adopt this mindset and start living more fully, allowing your desires to flow into your life.
Placing yourself on the pedestal and taking your desires off the pedestal are complementary practices. By recognizing your own power and seeing your desires as accessible, you create a space of self-confidence.
Affirmations that reflect the pedestal mindset:
"I am worthy of love and respect."
"What I want wants me even more."
"I have the power to shape my reality."
"I am unique and special, with talents that deserve recognition."
"I deserve to take care of myself and prioritize my needs."
"I attract people and experiences that value me."
"I am enough exactly as I am."

GOLDEN CHILD ;; In which Vought has a golden child, a favorite supe, you.
01.02.25 Masterlist
Vought International, the sprawling media company at the heart of the supes industry, has always had its fair share of complicated public relations. Among the chaos of corporate manipulation, cutthroat competition, and celebrity-driven antics, there exists one rare gem: you, the anomaly that everyone gravitates toward.
While The Seven are the face of the company, you're the heart. Unlike the usual supes, who thrive on attention, egos, and self-promotion, you stay humble. You don’t seek the spotlight, but somehow, it always finds you.
It's this small nature that has made you Vought's golden child, a supe who actually listens, who calms the storm, and who doesn't take advantage of the power that comes with their abilities.
Vought's PR team loves you. You’re the odd-one-out to the egos and drama of The Seven. When things go south—whether it's a superhuman scandal, a PR nightmare, or an emotional breakdown from one of the higher-profile supes—Vought knows they can count on you to smooth things over.
There’s something disarming about your presence. You’re unassuming, never in the limelight, but somehow, you’re always there when people need you most. You’ve built up an almost mythical reputation within Vought: the supe who never seeks fame, who isn’t out for personal gain, and who consistently treats everyone with respect, no matter their status.
Ashley, Vought’s PR powerhouse, quickly latched onto you as her personal security blanket. Her world is chaotic, managing the egos of The Seven while trying to keep things from falling apart behind the scenes. But when you're around, there’s a sense of relief that washes over her. She relies on you more than she lets on.
Whenever the tempers of the more volatile supes flare, she’s the first to ask, "Where’s [Name]? Where are they?" She knows that the room feels calmer with you in it. Everyone listens to you because you're realistic and honest. Unlike the others, you don't play the game, you just show up and let your sincerity do the work.
Homelander, despite his bravado and his towering presence, can't help but find himself drawn to you. He convinces himself that he dislikes you—after all, you're not chasing after him or pandering to his inflated ego like the rest of The Seven. You’re refreshingly indifferent to his attempts at asserting dominance, and that irks him to no end.
You don’t fear him, but you also don’t try to be his friend. You’re just… there. And that’s what frustrates him: he can’t control you. It gets to him in a way that he can’t quite explain, making your interactions all the more tense. You don’t need to try to please him, and yet you’re oddly one of the few people he can’t ignore.
Then there's Black Noir. The silent, enigma of a supe who often walks through Vought like a shadow, avoiding interactions with most people due to his fearsome presence.
But with you, it’s different. You don't flinch at his silence. In fact, you make an effort to acknowledge him every time, regardless of his lack of response. You don’t treat him like a ticking time bomb or an unpredictable enigma, but simply as someone whose presence deserves acknowledgment.
This small act of recognition is something that no one else offers, and it creates a subtle, unspoken connection between you two. While others may nervously sidestep Black Noir, you're the one who will offer a simple gesture or conversation (regardless of verbal responses), even if it’s just a quiet stroll through the Vought halls. You’ve made it clear that his silence doesn’t deter you—it’s a comfort to him in a world where everyone else is on edge.
Queen Maeve, ever the stoic and reserved one, has also come to appreciate you. She knows what it’s like to be jaded by the system, to be disillusioned by the fame and the constant PR stunts. In you, she sees the only other supe who isn’t corrupted by the industry's shallow demands.
While Maeve may hold some skepticism about everyone else in the Vought family, she finds herself respecting you. You're one of the few remaining who genuinely believes in being a force for good. It’s rare in Vought—someone who can still hold onto a moral compass without being consumed by the machine. She’s glad that you’re around, if only to be the grounding force that keeps everything from completely spiraling out of control.
In a world that’s so often about appearances and self-interest, you stand as a quiet contrast. You aren’t trying to fix the system, but by just being yourself, you somehow manage to be the glue that holds everything together.
And for all the madness of Vought, you are the calm within the storm, the one person who everyone, no matter their reputation, turns to when things get too intense. You are, in many ways, the heart of Vought—even if you never asked for it.
A/N ;; Yeah this was very self-indulgent.. EL OH EL.
