Best part of Turnabout Reclaimed is Simon repeatedly getting caught up in "my child is better than yours" arguments whenever any of the aquarium animals are praised

Fixed it

Why yes I did order a pizza just so I could draw Gaz on the box 😅

the fact that vinsmoke j*dge called his kids (- sanji) “his masterpieces” implies that judge only sees the vinsmoke siblings as a project and a thing to show off rather than his children who are human beings (genetically modified or not). one could argue that instead of judge loving his children, he loves what they represent: power and science. they’re merely just extensions of his research

For @darlingian's lovely prompt: "Ian Gallagher tries so hard. He gets back up and keeps going even when things don't seem like they'll ever be okay. He's so loved, and so good." When Lip struggles a bit, Ian tries to avoid self-sabotaging in order to struggle alongside him.

You Just Have to Know Where to Look

jegulus microfic — fluff, Lily’s pov — word count: 509

Lily had started noticing it a little over a month ago, and to be honest, she was a bit disappointed in herself for not realizing it sooner. It was painfully obvious once you knew where to look.

It all began when Barty suggested inviting one of his best friends to one of their recurring study sessions.

Regulus Black was Sirius’s quiet and perpetually grumpy younger brother. Their relationship was turbulent, something Lily could easily empathize with given her own history with Petunia. But aside from that, she’d never paid much attention to the Slytherin.

That changed after an intense study session on the side effects of adding boosters to different long-lasting potions. By the end of it, Lily had no doubt that Regulus's intellect far surpassed that of most Hogwarts students. And—humility aside—she could tell he had quickly recognized the same in her.

He was also quite pretty, though that wasn’t exactly surprising. He and Sirius shared the same DNA, after all. But where Sirius was all reckless charm and easy confidence, Regulus was something else entirely. He was the epitome of British wizard aristocracy, the embodiment of Old Money, and possessed a personality as warm as an iceberg.

And yet, none of that was nearly as impressive as what she discovered shortly after.

Now that Regulus Black had unexpectedly entered Lily’s radar, she couldn’t help but notice him everywhere—always elegant, always composed.

Well… almost always.

Because, as it turned out, the imperturbable Regulus Black had a breaking point. And, to Lily’s absolute delight, that came in two very specific forms: Sirius’s antics and, even more fascinatingly, his brother’s best friend.

You see, James Potter was famous for being a total idiot who wouldn’t hesitate to antagonize any Slytherin who so much as breathed in his direction. Lily was more than familiar with the clear repulsion and contempt he had for members of that house.

But with Regulus? Something was different.

Maybe it was because the black-haired boy was Sirius’s younger brother. Maybe that changed the dynamic somehow. But whatever the reason, James made it his mission to get under Regulus’s skin at every opportunity.

Not in the cruel, cutting way he went after Severus. No. This was something else entirely. There was some kind of rivalry between them, and James definitely enjoyed it. 

And there was something more, something that had Lily secretly seeking them out whenever they were in the same room, eager for another piece of entertainment.

When Sirius wasn’t looking, James was just a little too flirtatious. A little too touchy.

And Regulus? He exploded. Marble skin turned scarlet, limbs shook, and words stumbled over each other in complete and utter disarray.

Regulus Black was definitely gone for James Potter. And the worst part? James—the conceited, insufferably perceptive prick—absolutely knew it.

Well, at the very least, Lily was pretty sure he suspected it.

Honestly, she might have felt a bit more sympathy for Regulus’ obvious suffering… if she didn’t find the whole thing so hilariously ironic.

Merlin, it was just too good to be true.

ya know, after learning more about vegapunk, it really makes what franky did even more impressive, cuz, like.

there are only a handful of people in this world that have even made cyborgs.

which are a genius prodigy with a devil fruit that makes him physically smarter than other people and and (some of) the people that worked/researched with him - all of whom are experts in biology, weaponry, machinery, etc, AND had the resources of entire countries and/or the government.

and then also some guy who knew carpentry.

and he did it first.

being on the httyd side of tiktok can be such a whiplash compared to tumblr because even mild whump and less conventional shipping can cause you to get jumped like julius caesar on the ides of march

Okay but do you think the people who were really close to odysseus during the Trojan war had a running bet for when odysseus claimed to have a vision from Athena if it was true or not? Because half the time he was just lying about that.

Something funny for your spy x family ASL au

Luffy took ONE look at loid and internally went 'oh sweet. He's a spy like sabo' and never brings it up while anya just stares at him horrified and like with ace and sabo, he just never brings it up.

This also happens with yor and anya makes a funny noise

(As i am typing this my dog has the zoomies and is running around like a maniac)

HAHA YEAH THIS WOULD DEFINITELY HAPPEN

I think loid’s a good enough actor that luffy wouldn’t figure it out immeditely from like just a few seconds of meeting him but give him a minute or a few and he’ll figure it out on vibes alone

[vaxieth]

i don’t know who needs to hear this, but the only time imogen has ever questioned if the ruby vanguard had a “point” was in the thirty seconds after an extremely emotionally intense dream where she experienced what it was like to be without pain for the first time in a decade, and when she was corrected by orym, she immediately apologized because she knew she was wrong. this is not and never has been some character defining struggle.

even if we consider her pull to predathos as analogous to a pull towards supporting the vanguard (it isn’t at all, but let’s say it is), she hid how she was feeling in the immediate aftermath, again, of an extremely emotionally intense dream that clearly left her feeling overwhelmed and confused, but the next day, when she was back to herself, she told them she felt a pull and that she wanted them to help her resist it. she said herself, “i know what’s right, even if my heart would say otherwise at some point.”

the fandom’s cynical obsession with imogen “betraying” the group despite ample evidence that, in her right mind, she is committed to them fully and would never willingly chose otherwise is one of the most utterly baffling and frustrating takes i consistently see.

Bit of a humorous ask. What would happen if König accidentally saw his neighbor compromised? Like, they are doing something embarrassing in their home and doesn't realize their window is open and they happened to glance up at each other at the same time 😭😭

I may or may not have been dancing to ABBA in my bathrobe and my neighbor was walking past and we made solid eye contact with each other for at least 10 seconds before we started laughing. I was in my bathrobe and my nightgown I was so embarrassed. Luckily she laughed with me and danced a little too.

(Anon, in your defense, ABBA is absolute PEAK for that kind of thing. Anyone who wouldn't do the same is either a liar or has no sense of joy in their lives. I'm glad that it was short lived embarrassment and your neighbor has a great sense of humor but still 😭)

Oh man, he'd be mortified.

His social anxiety, as well managed as it is, has him in a chokehold with those things. Second hand embarrassment is one of his worst enemies. As in, he will pause a movie and will exit it if it relies on it for "humor". It's just TOO painful for him to sit and squirm through, he hates it.

He cannot and does not want to deal with it, he'd rather pretend those things don't exist if it's that level of embarrassing. Alas life has a cruel sense of humor and things like that are bound to happen. So he goes the classic route of action: immediately diverts his eyes, pretends like he was conveniently doing something else, and acts like he never saw anything in the first place. He's never going to bring it up or mention it. Even if you swear he saw it, he won't say a word and forces it from his mind.

That being said, it really depends what it is and what happened though - because if it's something endearing where they're just enjoying themselves, living their life, it's really bad! What's "embarassing" usually depends on our own perceptions anyhow.

He may watch for a few moments with a small smile on his face before he diverts his attention before he can be caught. Since we all have those moments where we do things like that and it's a part of our nature to just be silly and to live our lives, it's something to enjoy. It's a moment of calm, normalcy, and tranquility in his otherwise tumultuous life, that he can savor because that can be gone in an instant. He knows that all too well. It's just humans being humans in the absolute best way and THAT is heartwarming and nothing to be embarrassed about. He'll cherish that and the good that he sees whenever he finds it in this world.

He's all for being yourself and enjoying life as you see fit. Go splash in those puddles, go feed the birds, go talk to the little flowers you see growing. Life is too short to waste in on worrying what others think when doing so would hinder your own. His cheeks might tinge a bit crimson if you make eye contact and he's looking away instantly, but that's not from embarrassment - those are just other, more heart warming feelings that are making him flush.

Still, he doesn't like to intrude on private moments (his curtains are usually drawn and he has privacy film on most of his windows) so you're usually going to be in the clear anyhow! But either way, nothing to be embarrassed about. He's not bringing it up either way and if it's bad, it's scrubbed from his mind. If not, he's instead doing his damn best to memorize it and cherish it, among the other small moments that you share together 💚

i do think, in addition to conventional art skills, manny would have a better than average voice (coaching by maria since he was a kid, accompanied her on several albums) and exceptional dance skills (rodolfo's training).. literally what can't he do (math, or concentrate on a single task for longer than 10 minutes)
