Sheesh, people these days so nosy. Hey fuckers. Why are interested on relationship of a young man? Why are you guys bored of your lives that you found someone life to be entertaining??? Go bother someone else. Also purpled maybe you can talk to that security tech person or something to help you dealing with this annoying radio signal distruption.

thanks, i'll try that. i appreciate the advice.

and, ehh... it's kinda funny, at the very least.

[oifaaa]

In your au where Jason is dead for like 20 years does he come back the same age he died or is he also a grownup now because I think it would be really funny if he was the youngest physically. Imagine Damian being like “ah yes I can relate I also tried to kill bruce when I was your age” and Jason having to explain why it’s different and cooler when it’s Jason doing it

Yeah he's coming back the same age that he died bc you know can't really grow if your died so he'd be 15 when he wakes up in his grave still and about 16 when he's thrown in the pit kinda tempted to have him just go straight to gotham as a 16 year old just to make the age gap even more prevalent bc yeah damian would be 26

[stupidlittlespirit]

I understand, I didn’t mean to sound like your struggle or mine is on the same level. It’s just stinks that bad shit happens to good people especially when you did everything the best you could.

Yeah no I understand where you were coming from, it's okay! Bad shit happens to everyone. It isn't about deserving or not deserving it, good or bad. Nor is it about levels.

Remember that even when you do everything right, even when you avoid all the pitfalls and tropes in the scary movie, sometimes the axe wielding maniac still gets you. Not because you did anything wrong, but because that's just what happens. That maniac gets lucky. It isn't fair. It sucks.

But you don't have to accept your fate. Instead, you have to acknowledge that axe in your shoulder and you have to decide whether or not you're going to let him pull it out of you and hit you again, or whether you're going to punch him in the throat, pull it out of yourself whilst he's down and hack him to death with it.

And sometimes that will be hard. It will feel impossible. That wound in your shoulder will cut deep and it will bleed and bleed and bleed. You won't feel like you can even lift the weight of the weapon, let alone kill your attacker with it. But you still have one good arm! With that one good arm you can hit him and then he's caught off balance for a moment.

And in that moment, you have room to breathe. Even if only for a second. You've created even the smallest of opportunities for yourself. You've managed to get out of bed. You've managed to brush your teeth. You've found the strength to open your eyes.

You've taken the first step. The next one will be harder. It will be painful. It will be difficult. But you have one good arm and by god, you are going to do it! You can do it! I believe in you!

Covered in blood, crying, screaming, limbs hanging off, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you do your best with what you have.

And listen, this is a horrible analogy because sometimes you can't do anything. Sometimes you just succumb. But that's okay too. You can't win them all. But you can win some, and I think that's enough to motivate you sometimes.

You will eventually build a life for yourself that is so beautiful, you'll wonder how you could have ever doubted its existence. It may not be grand, it may not be luxurious, but it will be yours. One day, you'll be making dinner in the kitchen in your own apartment (or in your parent's house!) and you'll be hit with this sudden thought of 'man, I'm glad I pulled that axe out'.

I know you can do it. I believe in you.

i feel u on 1920s hate. when everyone is like ‘finally women are free of ~restrictive~ corsets’ and its like . first of all. didnt need to be. second. how do u think the curvier women were achieving the 1920s silhouette. quickly.

Exactly. I mean, yeah, it’s not their fault at all that people were saying things like that, or that it’s reached a fever pitch in recent years. Great material gains WERE being made for women, and I’m absolutely not discounting that. But much in the way that people tend to throughout history, though, they firmly believed that everything they were doing was the best and most progressive that it had ever been. And that idea has been hugely amplified in later years

I think it also has a lot to do with the fact that the 1920s were, in many ways, the beginning of a world that looks familiar to us now. Widespread film technology, continued rise of electricity, clothing-ways that seem familiar to us today in contrast to what came before (for example the advent of bras and panties, although people tend to forget there was usually also a girdle involved),  Air travel, cars becoming more popular, etc. because it seems less foreign, we accept all too readily the idea that it was better in all respects than everything earlier

(And ignore all the ways in which it would still have been foreign. Like… The 1920s were not actually the Proto – 2020s, guys. It owed for more to its immediate predecessors re: era mentality and technology and even fashion than some people would like to admit)

I don’t actually hate the 1920s – that would be pointless and reductive, since it’s an entire decade that happened over countless countries, demographics, cultural groups, etc. I think I’m with you, though, in hating the way it’s been put up on a pedestal as the perfect progressive era that was unilaterally better for women in particular

(Also, I read a book from the 1951 about the history of undergarments, and this mindset is in FULL force even three decades later.The guy finds ways to inaccurately rag on the Victorians even in chapters that aren’t about that time period, and concludes with a stirring statement that they are now living in the perfect time for underwear and that everything is so much better and more progressive than it ever has been in the past. The fact that this man- Cecil Willett Cunnington -was considered one of the highest authorities on dress history for a long time probably explains the current state of the discipline, In terms of “you can say basically whatever you want and people will believe you”)

i had no idea that thirst traps were available upon request 👀 as a longtime enthusiast and scholar of fat middle aged beefcake butches i humbly beg you to share some with us

Hmm. Maybe they're not actually "thirst traps" as such because I don't really post them on main ever. Maybe the text posts have been the real thirst traps all along. And they seem to have worked, because here you are. Thirsty.

But you asked nicely so hell why not. Mostly when I say thirst traps I mean one of two things.

The first is safe for work sweaty post workout pictures where I think my muscles look good, like the following (under the cut for the illusion of modesty):

And then the second is lewds that I will probably never post on main but if you are my friend or somebody who has shown me your boobs then all you have to do is ask politely in the dms 🫶

It's surely better this way. I understand the intent towards such things, but to build a government that babies its populace is to commit yourself to a dying cause. A nation's citizens must apply themselves. Without the practical hand of business, how would they ever get anything done? -Laverna

no, yeah, exactly. exactly.

[ quackity stretches, wings extending before folding them back in. ]

s'gotta be an ongoing thing. you— you can't strike up a war and believe in the idea of everyone being able to handle it. nobody can handle war. not the los viejos, not las personas sin hogar, las personas en riesgo, the folks who just want a semi-normal life and home. y'know.

business is better, and business is booming in a better way than a lot of other places on the server. haa. bad joke.

whats ur opinion on wainlock

LOVE IT and love how they're written with actual depth which is honestly so rare with older couples in media in general. like two old dudes with actual development in their relationship? wainwright worrying about not being a good fit for hammerlock which makes hammerlock worry for him?? but then they say screw it, it will work out and it does??? it's very realistic and i love them for that

14 and 42!

14. Is your lamb’s wool pure white?

Nope! It's partially black, both where they were killed and in a strangely hand-shaped patch...

42. Would your lamb ever kill a cult member?

Yes. Dissenters are not tolerated.

[personaei]

ooc. okay now that my endless amount of meetings this week is finally over, it's reply time! ( hopefully! you can do it, brain! )

[ourpl3d]

Tsk, listen here young man. I maybe old, slow have a bad eyesight and on the verge of meeting Lady Death when my time has come.

But i ain't stupid.

Its impossible you came from the heavens. That's where Lady Prime reside with along with the gods. And besides, it's a blasphemy for us people reaching to the heavens.

Your literally asking to be strucked down by the gods or be cursed instead.

But hey i appreciate your attempt to jest me young man.

wow. you’re really old.

and, yeah, uh—- you know—- i’m- i’m— i’m not an angel. didn’t say that. i’m just a dude. look.

< he makes a show of clicking his lower pair of arm back in. this makes an uncomfortably loud crackling, snapping noise. >

anyway. god. your face looks like an onion. has anyone ever told you that? you live in Las Nevadas or did you just come here to stare at me?

I know you prefer jason and Tim's "rivalry" to be Tim thinking everything's about him while jason doesn't know who he is (and I agree it's hilarious) I think for your time skip au, jason should totally knowing beef with Tim.

not for Robin reasons but since jason doesn't get to beat up his dad he should get to beat up someone else's dad and he heard one of the robins after him is a shit dad so this counts towards his catharsis

(he still doesn't actually know Tim's name)

Jason makes it his mission that since he can't beat up his own shite elderly dad he'll just have to make do by beating up everyone else's shite dad's this just so happens to include Tim and also Dick

( Anons thoughts on muse: Kup ) Old

Go on Anon and tell me your muses thoughts on mine.

" Why I outta. I can still kick your tailpipe. Don't tempt me you little gray menace ! I'll show you who's old! Just wait till I get my servos on you, you're gonna be the one looking like an old geezer, limping around from the beating I give you!!"

[enchantedchocolatebars]

I remember that it's uncomfortable for you to write Belos/Camilla, and you prefer to write Beardo Phillip/Camilla, but there are no any real ship in this idea, so it should be fine. The whole idea is the misunderstanding.

So, Belos Redemption AU, Belos lives in Noseda's house with the HexSquad, he found out that his views are outdated, the children are more or less cool with such a company

Fic - Philip doesn't quite understand why Luz is acting so strangely. He just tried to help Camila in any way he could, because the poor woman was definitely not ready that so many guests would live in her house. He tried to be polite, asking different questions and being interested in different topics. But he doesn't quite understand what flirting is and why Luz thinks he did it with her mom.

Meanwhile, Luz believes that Belos wants to date her mom and she can't let that happen

The M/il/f-understanding

Philip was unable to comprehend why Luz was acting so aggressively towards him lately.

I mean, he had some idea as to why.

She was the only one in her friend group who was still suspicious about him.

Plus, there was the Day of Unity, the fight between him and her friends on Halloween, and so on.

But Philip took note of something.

He noticed Luz's aggression start to really rise whenever he was around her mother, which greatly confused him.

Since Camila had so many unexpected guests living with her now, he was trying to help her as best he could.

The two shared some intriguing conversations while cooking meals for the children and cleaning together.

Philip would always ask Camila questions about the modern world, and she was always happy to answer and explain them.

This caused Luz to accuse him of flirting with her mother one day, but he had no idea what that meant.

...

"YOU CAN'T DATE MY MOM!" Luz shouts, angrily rushing into the room that Philip was currently in by himself.

She grit her teeth. "YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO!"

"Date?" Philip questioned, a slight frown on his face at her tone.

"Why would I want to do that?"

"Because," Luz began with a growl, lowering her brows at him. "You've been flirting with her all week!" She argued.

"Just the other day, I heard you telling her how good she looked in her apron in the kitchen. You were flirting with her!"

"I was simply expressing a polite compliment," Philip would respond calmly.

He was a gentleman, after all.

"Oh, yeah?" Luz said, not believing him in the slightest.

He was a big fat liar in her eyes.

"Then explain why you were sitting on the couch watching TV with her on Tuesday. You were trying to find the right moment to kiss her, weren't you?"

He was probably attempting to put the moves on Camila while a romantic movie was playing, Luz thought.

Philip sighed at the assumption. "Your mother was showing me a documentary on horses. She believed that it would be of great interest to me."

And it was.

Luz continued to glare him down.

She had one more question to ask that would expose his true intentions.

"What about the flowers you got her?" She asked in a demanding tone, directing her finger towards the glass vase that was displayed on the hutch.

Resting inside it was a bouquet of beautiful marigolds.

"Well?" Luz tapped her foot, awaiting an answer.

"She requested them," Philip told her, a roll of his eyes.

"She mentioned that those were the flowers she adored the most and would look stunning in the house, so she asked me to purchase them using her card."

"...Oh," Luz went, feeling slightly embarrassed that she was wrong.

Philip chuckled. "You really are quite noisy, aren't you, Luzura."

"That's not my name," Luz grumbled. "And whatever, just don't try anything romantic or flirty with my mom. Got it?"

"Understood. Though..." He had a playful look in his eyes, a slight smirk spreading on his chapped lips.

"I could see myself attempting to pursue her during the Deadwardian Era," he hummed.

His young, bearded self would have done everything in his power to make Camila his wife.

If Luz had a drink in her hand, she'd spit it out. "Wait, WHAT?!"

[dufrau]

give ur best butch tips PLEASE

do i have to make my hair shorter or can i keep it longer?

how do i spot a femme in the wild let alone talk to one??

is it stupid to use my height as femme bait? im above 5’8 so is that tall enough to get a femme’s atteaction if i can even use that to my advantage?

im shy around pretty women so idek how to talk to a woman??

like i would love to take a pretty lady out to dinner and treat her right and pay for her and open every single door for her and if she gets cold let her wear my clothes but is that presumptuous of me? is it stupid to want to pay for her dinner? is it stupid to want to open any door shes ever around? is it stupid to want her in my clothes like what am i doing? i am at a loss?

because yes any woman can pay for her own food and open her own door and wear her own clothes so she does not get cold but i would LOVE to do all of those for her anyways so does that make me just as bad as a man?

i do not want to insinuate that she can not do any of those for herself obviously so idk how she would take me wanting to do those things for her

like is it rude or demeaning of me?

like i want to be a gentleman to her but i feel like that might be considered stupid now?

(i’d also LOVE to fuck her into next monday and then make her breakfast in bed the next morning bc maybe she has trouble walking or something like that but that is kinda besides the point)

i’d love to buy her flowers and pay for her nails and stuff too but i’ve seen other women say that’s stupid and that they want to date a woman not a man who always wants to pay so i am so confused so please, as someone who knows way more than me and has actually talked to women before and definitely knows more than me about all of this bc i’m a bit newer to all of this, i am asking for your best advice

Oh Hi Buddy. This is a lot! Uh lets see. Im not exactly an expert in anything but this is, I guess, my advice?

You can do what you want with your hair and your body and your personal style forever. There is no right way to be butch. Your aim should never be to look how other people want you to look, it should be to look the way that makes you feel like the best version of yourself and then find people who will vibe with you in your truest state.

I have no idea how to Spot A Femme. My advice is to just get in the habit of being polite and charming to everybody you meet.

Use every advantage that you have! I dont actually know how to "use" anything as femme bait, i have always sort of thought of it like *we* are the femme bait and depending on whatever we have going on we'll attract femmes who are into that. But yeah! You're tall! Feel good about it!

Just be nice. Be polite and friendly. This goes back to point 2. Just be nice to everybody. Pretty girls are just people.

Figuring out how to pay at the end of a date has a tendency to be awkward no matter what. If you asked her out, you should plan on paying and offer to pay. And regardless, if you just *want* to pay, say so. There's a good chance she'll say "oh no, we can just split it" because at least where i live that's the "polite" response nowadays. But if you really want to pay, say so. ONE MORE TIME ONLY. Say "Actually, I'd really like to buy you dinner this time" or whatever, and at that point she'll probably say yes, but if she's still insisting on splitting the bill let it go and split it because if you don't your polite offer turns into an argument and it will feel bad to both of you.

No reasonable person will ever take issue with you holding a door for them. This is not something you need to worry about. Also do not take it as a personal failure if she gets to a door first and holds it for you either lol. It's a nice thing to do no matter who is doing it.

If she seems cold, offer your coat/sweatshirt etc. She might say yes or she might say no. If she says no, accept it. This is also not weird! I do this with my friends. Nobody has ever been offended by the offer.

Flowers are nice, but maybe ask her if she likes them first? A lot of flowers are toxic to animals so for instance *I* do not want flowers, although even as a butch I would still appreciate the gesture I just wouldn't bring the flowers in my house because I have cats. Also, on a date, flowers are something she/you are going to have to carry around so that can be a little awkward depending on what youre doing/where youre going?

Do not offer to pay for anybody's nails if you are not already dating them. That is sugar daddy behavior. (If you want to be a sugar daddy that is your business but that is not the vibe I am getting from this ask.)

There is no such thing as "As bad as a man". Men are not bad by nature, and when men *are* bad it is not because of any of the things you are talking about. Chivalry is not a bad thing! The bad thing is the idea that by doing any of these things for somebody, you are then entitled to something from them.

You can be a perfect gentleman and a charming conversationist with great hair who is tall and handsome, and at the end of the day your date just might not vibe with you, and you need to be able to take that on the chin. THAT is the ultimate skill a gentleman needs to practice: gracefully accepting rejection.

Let 👏 Daniel 👏 be 👏 cringe

Honestly that man probs has so much internalised shit from 2000s culture especially being away from home (now I’m kinda sad about how these drivers essentially dedicate their whole lives to a sport from early childhood, little school, often moving away from family like how has no one called the NSPCC on these babies)

We are fighting but like how there were those fights in TV Burp back in the day (gone but never forgotten)

Also that comic you mentioned in the tags 👀👀

- 🧚🏻

Internalised [anything]phobia in Daniel is sooooooo delious to read ESPECIALLYYYY considering how sheltered off from real world experiences most of the drivers were when growing up. Just karting and racing and training and sponsors and money, still getting a bit of regular teenage life between the gaps, but living in an entirely different world view than the regular person. Surrounded by other boys. Loooooot of internalisation happening there. Plus him specifically growing up in that in the 2000's.

My royal court is filled with flailing puppets and I'm the only human around.

I've got a tiny notebook filled with some filthy puppy play/age play/whatever the fuck im doing with George drawings, which I can track back to at leeeeeast last May, because of a doodle celebrating daniel's p4. I've been having this thoughts for moooooonths.
