#OH MAN AND NORM

[suja-janee]

I love Lucy Maclean, she’s such a sweetheart

[ghastlyaffairs]

for something as trivial and simple those feelings sure are hard to get rid of

also made a gif a version for fun + alt version with no tears under the cut

the gif is in very low resolution...this is a feature (i could make it bigger but that would require saving each frame individually and than glueing it all together. also i feel like low resolution suits it better. aesthetically and fits the mood)

when dostoevsky said your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing that was about lawrence and amanda. btw

“When I held you, actually saw you for the first time, I fully realized how vulnerable you were. You’re such a small thing, can’t see or hear, just have to trust the people around you are friendly, won’t hurt you. I… thought of hurting you, Skip. It would’ve been so easy to have crushed you, to have killed you and never have to worry about you taking over my body again. But you were there in my hands, trembling, terrified, and despite where my thoughts travelled, all I wanted to do in that moment was protect you.”

Was looking at some of my old doodles of these two and wanted to redraw this one. Never posted the original cus I didn’t like how it came out, but I still liked the little paragraph I had next to it, so here :-]

Edit: Speed paint here :)

Made another spindle. It's very small. Also very irregular and lumpy due to the wood (I wanted the raised brown lines to stay and erred on the side of caution in how much I cut away...but that did lead to a very irregular spindle).

It also wanted to crumble as I carved, so pretty much all the fine tuning I just did by sanding it, which helps to compress the fibers down as well as remove material without crumbling or splintering.

It really came to life when I oiled it. Probably will be best after a few good coats and some time. My woodburning kit seems to be totally gone, which is a bummer. So I'm not woodburning anymore.

Spins well. Obviously being so tiny and light it was always going to be a fine spinning spindle, but effortless thread from an unprepped piece of fleece is pretty indicative as well. I seem to find myself carving mostly thread spindles at the moment. They're always so small and light in the hand, they remind me of holding baby birds.

it makes me so frustrated when people online love to go on rants about how the paparazzi shouldn’t be a thing because they’re so invasive and they literally get payed to stalk and harass celebrities, but then the second a celebrity like chappell roan has the guts to stand up for herself against them, suddenly she’s being tacky and too sensitive. idk maybe it’s time for some of yall to reflect on why it makes you so upset when a celebrity demands respect and doesn’t lie down and take verbal abuse from entitled paps and other invasive people. perhaps some of yall who preach about respecting celebs because they’re people too have started to show that you as well see celebrities more as objects than as real people with feelings.

i’m sorry, just, do you know how many little kids have gained a good role model to look up to with chappell? she’s showing young people that it doesn’t matter what you’re supposed to do, it’s okay to set boundaries if you feel uncomfortable. if you don’t want to hug and get a big wet kiss from your overly-affectionate aunt who you only see once a year, it’s okay to say no. if you are being shouted at by a random man who you’ve never met at a random work event, fucking shout back. or better yet, have a calm conversation with that man at a later event and set your boundaries. i think it’s incredibly odd to judge somebody for knowing their own self worth.

Also, Jess knew Dean was Sam’s brother (“your brother Dean?”) and wasn’t justifiably furious over him breaking into their place in the middle of the night like most people would be, Sam told her something about him. And she smiles when she realizes it’s Sam’s brother, so Sam was told her good things about Dean, enough that she’s happy to meet him. But like, Jess isn’t calling the police over the fact that her boyfriend is fighting someone at their place when Jess and Sam are the only ones supposed to be inside and nobody was in when they went to bed, she’s not demanding to know why Dean didn’t just knock on the door, Jess is perfectly content to start getting to know Sam’s brother in the middle of the night after Dean committed a crime. So Jess knew something of Dean to not be worried by this behavior and is probably a bit weird herself given that her reaction at her boyfriend’s brother breaking in is happiness.

i think there's a sort of sign of the times in that interaction as well though, and the precarity of youth. has anyone ever broken in to my place when i was a college student? no. have people shown up on my doorstep from across the country unexpectedly when i was a college student? yes, actually haha.

so i have always read jess's reaction more like "oh okay wow unexpected, hi hello nice to meet you, what's going on?". she does seem a bit taken aback but she's also letting sam lead and trusting his judgement of the situation and his brother and letting that guide her reactions as well. but her being happy overall that he's there, even if his mode of entry was reckless and bizarre, has never read all that odd to me. but then, maybe i'm odd as well haha.

Becky definitely becomes Charlotte’s friend in at least one timeline, right? They would get along too well for her not to. Her own experience of being trapped in an abusive marriage and then finding the courage and strength to break out of it makes her help and support a major factor in Charlotte deciding to divorce Sam. From now on, she’s going to live for herself. She starts going to therapy. Everyone is very proud of her. It’s awesome.

Then Becky finds out that the man Charlotte’s actually in love with, and wanting to officially date, is fucking Ted Spankoffski. As any good friend would, she responds with “Oh, HELL no”. Until she realizes while telling him to back off that… Ted loves Charlotte too. Romantically. He has genuine care for not only another human being besides his brother, but a woman. Becky feels like a European seeing a black swan for the first time in history. So maybe, just maybe, he and Charlotte have the potential to be happy together. The security and intimacy of a positive relationship can be conducive to healing from a toxic one, after all; look at Becky and Tom. But this messy former affair turning into something healthy - and indeed, Charlotte’s friends letting it continue at all - depend on Ted doing some serious self-improvement and sorting out his shit. Beacon of belief in humanity’s goodness that she is, Becky is willing to give Hatchetfield’s most notorious bastard the benefit of the doubt. Once.

And that is how out of love and under the steely glare of Becky “I’m Just Lining Up My Shot” Barnes, Ted finally gets therapy.

Me: Taking off my ship goggles, while the polycule jokes are funny the intention with the Getter Team was less romance and more so a strong friendship that turns into brotherhood. It’s still about how relationships are important, but less of the angle of love and more of having comrades will make facing conflicts easier, even if you may be ripped away from your friends-

Also me: There is absolutely zero platonic explanation without shipping goggles on to explain why the FUCK Ryoma said “oh so you want me to bite you?” in such a playful tone with a grin on his face to Hayato simply calling him a watchdog, that’s straight up flirting.

as a gay guy, what's your opinion on periods and period sex? it might seem anachronistic to ask but i saw a video where finn was with friends and was saying periods are disgusting haha, and i can see that or that he was maybe just being all sassy and loose cos he was playing it up in that dynamic of a group. this was a while ago anyway but it got me thinking, cos i've known straight guys who are fine with period sex but also ones who dont even want to acknowledge that periods exist haha, and it made me wonder because if you knew you were gay from a teen and never experimented with girls, was it taught in schools? is it taboo for you? i always thought there might be this affinity between women and gay men because most of each group engage with something typically considered disgusting and taboo (anal sex and periods) and get on with it / see the beauty in it.

idk how this relates to byler or foah, but maybe that finn clip is just something i keep thinking about haha (it was the time when he was wearing false nails with friends lmao)

Interesting ask! My opinion is... it's just a non issue? Maybe I personally don't need to hear extensive details, but that goes for many bodily functions haha. And I don't think Finn is truly unkind, but you know how guys get sometimes. Annoying. We all say immature shit 🤷‍♂️The body isn't disgusting. It just is what it is, does what it does. And yeah, society has stupid hangups - I see the correlation you're getting at with anal sex, for sure. It's the concept of being normal and mature about bodies. We all know what an ass is for 🤣 But that's absolutely not the only thing. So, if you're with someone who has a period and sex is a possibility - I don't really see the problem if both parties involved are into each other and want to do that. To each their own. You can also maybe not want to do it, but don't be unkind, is all. Body positivity is key.

I'm never gonna be in a situation where the person I'm sleeping with has that as a factor, if that's what you’re getting at. I did actually try to date a few girls when I was a teenager but, yikes. Never got very far hahaha. But it's not like women (and those who otherwise experience this) are so super mysterious. It's not secret knowledge. Moral of the story: I just know for a fact that many men are purposefully obtuse or immature. Sexism. All that. Simplifying the issue but for the purpose of this ask! 💁‍♂️

Also, to relate this a little to fandom: I've read people's headcanons and ideas on here they've shared and not everything has to be hot to everyone, sometimes things are just super interesting. And I really do think it's a nice concept where a character who is in pain and needs some loving, and if having sex during will help that, that's an awesome concept that their partner is into doing that to help them through it, double cool if that's a way to both get off. Fictional and in reality. Like I said, to each their own. But I can understand how people find it hot. And even things that are not completely relevant to my life and inclination, man it's just cool to have spaces and opportunities to talk things out and share ideas, right???
