If any of you ever end up becoming famous authors in the future and I somehow end up recognising your writing style I pinky promise I’ll take your secret to the grave, no one will know you used to write about fictional dudes deepthroating each other in coffee shop AU’s except you and me 🤝

#I might come to your meet and greet and casually sneak into conversation the name of your old tumblr url #just to see the colour leave your face and the fear build in your eyes #I’ll wink and thank you for your time before you even have a chance to process what’s happening #and then later that night when you log into the old tumblr account you haven’t been on in years you’ll see a new message in your ask box #it’s from an anon with a picture of the book you signed and a little 🌚 sign off

tumblr

this is the most beautiful creature on earth and I will kill someone if it asks me to

#horseshoe crabs #I had a fun day at the beach #60% of my time was spent looking for horseshoe crabs #sadly I didn't find any tagged ones so no horseshoe crab pin for me 😔#God I love these creatures though #shoutout to the girl and her boyfriend who were very interested in hearing my Horseshoe Crab Facts spiel #especially bc the girl let me teach her how to hold the crab so she could take a pic with it #I respect you random beach girl #and your lack of fear when faced with a creature that looks like a facehugger #I'm obsessed with how utterly chill and harmless horseshoe crabs are #they just scoot along like little roombas #and look so creepy but have no ability to hurt anyone #(I don't think they're creepy though. I think they're adorable perfect little angels)#and the way they move is perfect. it looks fake #I wish I could spend the next 7 hours at the beach staring at horseshoe crabs #why oh why must I be here with my family. these losers want to do things like 'go back to the hotel because it's getting dark'#booooo cowards #join me in some nighttime horseshoe crab excursions #cute animals #crabs #(not actually a crab)

*slips another kunsel into your pocket*

#thinking about the public image of SOLDIER.#a thing to be revered and feared #a lot of npcs in the games recognize those mako eyes. but it's also implied that SOLDIERs aren't the only ones that have them?#mako junkies apparently have the same look. you'd figure they would be way more common #would that affect the way people view SOLDIERs? what goes through their minds when they see the eyes?#invariably it's taken as a sign of someone dangerous and unpredictable. sort of an unspoken cultural thing.#i wonder what new SOLDIERs think when they look in a mirror for the first time and see what's changed.#do they mourn their past selves? do they reflexively fear what they have become?#maybe for some of them that twinge of fear never really goes away even with time.#confident killers who avoid their own reflection like the plague.#even learn to avoid bad reactions other people might have. even if it means never showing your face to anyone for the rest of your life...#someone who is already barely perceived as human by human standards #sowing even more distrust in his kind.....#ffvii #kunsel #my art <3 #phew. got that one out of my system

fiona gallagher // the angry man in the house

#ami weaves a web #for real this time!!! since it's not just a couple of pictures with lyrics from one (1) song lol #anyways #tw abuse #something about growing up with an angry abusive father and harboring all this fear and then watching your siblings learn his violence #and then turn it on you #and you're also this deeply angry person #there's no escaping that #but seeing your father's rage in your baby brother's eyes #the baby brother you've raised from infancy #god. it fucks me up so much #also the fact that fiona looks resigned to frank's anger and puts on this brave face when he's yelling at her but is visibly shaken and #terrified when it's lip or ian is breaking my heart #you can put up your wall of steel when you know someone's going to hurt you. but when you don't expect it...#man fuck these fathers who put their hands on their little kids #i should be allowed to go feral i think. hm. maybe i am just struggling to be at home with my family. anyways #fuck frank all my homies hate frank

#käärijä #jesse voss #i'm such a jesse girlie you have no idea #he's 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰#this song is so random but honestly it's one of my favourites and i was ridiculously happy when they played it #even though tumblr user because-its-eurovision told me they're not gonna. well HA!!#i didn't even have to become unsuffrable about it and start chanting like those dudes at his previous gig had apparently done #they knew what i wanted anyway 💅#all in all the show was great! although the whole time i feared for my nose as the person next to me kept waving their arms on my face #one time their hand did hit my face and they looked at me like 🤨 well SORRY that my face was on the way of your hand 💀#my concert #FUUUUUUUCK wrong date lol why did no one tell me 🙈

the event name wasn't lying, he really did burn his soul (and the people. rip vivid street akito set everything on fire)

(I am joking but some of the phrasing for the fire symbolism is almost comical... out of context it sounds like Akito’s literally starting fires)

#akito shinonome #project sekai #burn my soul #shinonome akito #autumnal rambles #for the record. i did really enjoy this event #it's a neat moment of character development for akito + it's always satisfying to see a character 'prove' themselves to their role model #also idk what it's about (not caught up) but the akito5 announcement has me like 🔥🔥🔥 welcome back vbs fire motif 🔥🔥🔥#(as though it ever went away. vbs has always been about passion and resolve even if it doesn't always directly invoke the image of fire)#i'm partially making fun of it here but real talk it is a fun choice of symbolism/metaphor for vbs (esp akito and an)#maybe once i catch up on vbs stories i'll yap about it more seriously but. that's for me in a few months #and god I need to stop getting art ideas when i don’t have the time to draw #it popped into my head while reading but #rotating musician’s lyrics w respect to akito #especially the lines like. how do you make music. you just face your fears and become your heroes

*fixed version* why doesn’t machete show as much affection as Vasco?

He's just a lot more reserved and cautious person in general. The environments he grew up in were strict and religious, he was raised by monks and started his priest training at a young age. Expressing and receiving endearment doesn't come naturally to him because he doesn't have much previous experience on it. He understands approval and respect and knows how to seek those, but affection might be something he never even considered as a thing he should want or that could perhaps be available for him.

Vasco's primary love languages are physical touch and words of affirmation, which are very direct, active and visible ways to communicate fondness. I think Machete veers more towards acts of service and quality time (as well as sharing interests/infodumping). Most of the time he tries to show Vasco that he cares by being thoughtful, attentive, loyal and helpful. He's used to needing to feel useful so that people think he's worthy of keeping around. Over time he does open up a lot, their wavelengths even out and he gets more confidently touchy-feely.

#there's also fear of rejection #he doesn't view himself very favorably #what if Vasco secretly thinks his awkward attempts at getting close to him are annoying? even repulsive?#it's safer to wait for the other person to make the first move #if Vasco is a golden retriever who jumps on you licks your face and wags his tail at the first opportunity #Machete is more like a fearful cat that mostly spends his time out of sight but comes out in the evening #and quietly sleeps near their owner as a display of trust and companionship #doesn't necessarily mean the cat loves their person less #answered #filecabinett #Machete

i seriously need more narumi and mina moments because just imagine the relief mina felt when narumi joined, similar age to her and was also considered a prodigy in the force.

to have someone to share the burden of the defence force’s future with must’ve felt so freeing. because before he joined it was just her, age 18, being told that she was going to change kaiju extermination with her exceptional synergy with firearms. and she was so, so scared.

narumi doesn’t have the kind of skills or talent for long range combat like she does, but he’s also a top candidate (despite his behavioural issues- which aren’t much of a hinderance anyway) and mina doesn’t have to carry the burden of the future alone anymore

(although she’d never admit, given she probably views narumi as someone completely shocking i just think it’s so funny how she stood there like O_O when she first saw him)

like i LOVE seeing the contrast. mina who was sent onto the battlefield for the first time and was deathly afraid vs narumi who was sent out and immediately took action because that’s how he always lived (fighting)

and now they’re the top two strongest captains in the force and they will be the ones to lead the new generation..

#egg boils #IM SOOO BONKERS SORRY THEYRE MY FAVES I WANT THME TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON ESCH ORHEF SO FUCKING BAD.#consider this: narumi teaches mina to be less serious. to stop holding onto the burden of others and her team mates and Fight because she #wants to. hold onto ur weapon clench ur teeth because you WANT to be here and protect lives and not because You feel like you have to ashir #and mina teaches him abt team work and yes you can work along but And maybe having to consider ur team members IS burdensome for u but isnt #it nice to have someone watch ur back? for someone to Help you narumi #please please show me how they’ve influenced each other I KNOW DAMN WELL THEY HAVE. I INOW IT. matsumoto please.#i will never be over mina and how genuinely AFRAID she was #ashiro mina my absolute beloved #narumi tells mina to stop being so freaked out all the damn time because you have your team mates don’t you?! always talking my ear off abo #about team work but you can’t even trust your own comrades?!#mina tells narumi that HE keeps acting recklessly because he doesn’t trust his team mates either!!! they’re perfectly capable too #ohhhhh i’m sick im sick i want mina to knock some sense into narumi and vice versa i want them to be the reason they trust their units to #SUCH a degree now. i want them to be the reason why they stand for their men so strongly (narumi immediately pouncing on no.9 when he showe #kikoru isao’s face. mina’s anger and appreciation when her unit stood their ground against no10.#mina #narumi #kaiju no.8 #they’re my top two of course i’m making this shit up. i need it so bad bside please please please #i know she grit her teeth and got used to be alone when she subjugates from the roof top but CONSIDER narumi the delinquent but extremely #capable recruit being the one to show her how to live less in fear #i need a tag for them #don’t be stupid #okay that’s it that’s my tag #kn8 spoilers #sorry again. tagging for myself #narumina

thursday quest - no physical therapy today - make and eat lunch sooooo early but i can do it!!!!! - get ready for wedding - attend wedding! yay! (: - decompress well when i get home <3

#its thursday quest #god i'm so anxious about it autism style. so many uncertainties that i simply cannot account for alone. but i'm being sooo 'brave' about it #(keeping it to myself. except for posting about it)#taxi company hasn't texted me the drivers' details yet and i emailed them to be like ummmm your policy is to pay before the day #would you like to email me the payment details so i can do that? and they were like 'we'll send the driver details soon' ummmm #there isn't much soon left!!!!!!! it's happening tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!#they're probably just not Organised™ in the way i prefer to be. which is objectively fine it's just challenging for me personally.#i do not think it's Bad but!!!!! i've never taken a taxi before <- guy who Is Scared Of Taxis Specifically but has to face #their fears because they're disabled and have no other choice.#worst case i am down the money and no-one arrives to take me home i guess :P but it'll be afternoon AND my family are there so #in theory i could just get a lift home even though that would mess up other people's plans sooooo bad. UNLESS they have already drunk uhhhh #in which case i guess i'd just ask for help calling a taxi to the place. plany of people who can do such things easily (unlike me)#it'll be fine!!! i can ask my siblings if need be bc they are so niceys and will not get mad at me for being autistic o7 #My other worry is being too hot and being in a rush getting ready bc i have to eat a proper meal due to the symptoms syndromes #and we are leaving when my lunch usually is so that's a whole thing. which ALSO doesn't matter and I can do! it's just hard!#where is that post that's like 'managed mental illness can look like absence of mental illness 😅'. NOT saying being autistic is mental #illness i am saying that the specific extreme anxiety i have is for me linked to autistic issues with 'the unknown' and boy. does this #social situation also have a lot of unknown.#BUT I CAN DO IT! and dare i say even have a nice time!!!!! it's just i get so so scared beforehand but i will not express it in a way that #impacts or inconveniences anyone else!!! i can handle it by myself at my house and it'll be fine

This is your sign to get back into playing that video game that you love but put down a long time ago and never picked back up again for no discernable reason

#started playing breath of the wild again a week or so ago after a youtube video about why we put down games showed up in my recommended #i can link the video for anyone who wants it but the most helpful advice in it for me was to just. try playing it for two minutes #if all your fears were right and you cant get back into it then you can put it right back down after the time is up #but if youre enoying yourself then you can keep playing #a big part of my fear was that i wouldnt be able to handle the combat anymore after going like a good couple years without playing it #bc one of the biggest things i love about botw is that for the most part. link doesnt level up #theres no attack and defense stats that level up as you earn experience and make him mechanically better at fighting #for the most part its YOU the player leveling up your fighting skills with practice #...but that also meant that after so long away from the game i was scared that i would have lost all my skill at it #and the learning curve would be too great this late in the game (literally the ONLY main storyline thing left for me to do is fight ganon)#but i played for two minutes and i remembered how much i loved the game. like firsthand not just vague recollection #so ive been running around doing side quests and exploring and now it doesnt feel like im stalling the final battle anymore #it feels like im just intentionally taking time to fully experience the game #and after getting combat practice in again with my exploration im finding out that my fears were wrong!#if anything im even BETTER at combat now than i was when i put the game down #back then i was still terrified of facing lynels and walking guardians #but now im taking them down before they can even get one hit in on me!#im so proud of myself and im having so much fun #so. for anyone else out there. this is your sign to do the same #rambling #maybe once i finish breath of the wild i can even finally start on tears of the kingdom 🙏

I’m shadowing at the vet clinic in 2 days and I’m clearly not nervous at all because I definitely didn’t have a long winding, distressing dream in which the veterinarian made me play a game in which leif had to throw food at people and maki kicked his ass so bad that leif fucking died but don’t worry because the vet was there and he has magic healing powers and he brought leif back to life but he made sure to mention for some reason that leif doesn’t have chlorophyll because he’s not a plant

#what’s up guys I’m not nervous in the slightest #there was more to the dream but that part was the most vivid #I slept through the whole night the other night for the first time in months and I was really hoping that it’d happen again #WRONG that was a fluke. woke up like 4 times #sigh OKAY!!!#if I disappear from the face of the earth on Monday it’s because I did something so embarrassing that I went to go live in a hole #it’s three hours what’s the worst I could do CLEARLY MY DREAM THINKS A LOT COULD GO WRONG #notes to self. do not show up an hour late. do not forget your shoes #and f-y-fucking-i do NOT quote finch holy SHIT #that was a horrible dream I made a total ass of myself #I fear it will come true because. I have a tendency to say and do the wrong thing #it is all replaying in my head…..the time a girl called me pretty and I just stared at her and walked away…….#the time I said ‘I don’t say thank you to anyone’ instead of ‘I’m not ignoring your compliment I just have selective mutism’#the time I accidentally angrily screamed ‘GOOD MORNING’ at an old man because I couldn’t control my tone of voice #< actually he deserved that lmao he yelled at me first. fuck that guy frfr that was traumatic #this is just my stream of consciousness atp hey guys I’ll shut up now

it’s interesting because i think most of my favorite works are my least “popular” performance wise. what resonates with me as a writer is generally not smut; i like to lean into atmosphere and psychology. my fics are really more vignettes than anything else. i enjoy writing character studies and tension and emotions, but either i don’t communicate those things properly in my writing, or people would rather get to the good stuff (whatever that means for them). anyway, it can be disheartening, but i also have to remember that i’m here to write for myself at the end of the day. becuase otherwise i’m chasing popularity—which is ephemeral—instead of fulfillment. my favorite works can stay cult classics… only the coolest people know about them, anyway.

#zoro fic didn’t really seem to hit which initially made me sad bc i wrote it in a flurry of emotion but i wrote it for me and that’s really #all that matters. i could write about more popular characters or sex all the time but then it would be robotic. and writing shouldn’t #be robotic—it’s an art form!#i even almost made it one of those ‘fill in your face’ things but i was thinking about zoro so i wrote about him in it bc i want to be #authentic. the fear of flopping shan’t stop me… i finally wrote in earnest for the first time in a week and that makes me happy
