When your father tried his best to provide for you but he worked all the time and even when he was home he was either tired or stressed and he’s always liked to get drunk to relax and cheer up. When you know he values work ethics and respectability so you grew up to be capable and quiet. And when he says you’re like him you’re sort of puzzled, does he really know you so little, or does he know himself so little? But you like the feeling of your father ruffling your hair so you accept it, and still you stand next to your mother just as silent and just as stoic as her during family gatherings. He leaves again and again and when your mother leaves him nothing changes, really. You wonder if it’s more telling that you know him better than he seems to himself or that you don’t know him as much as you wish you did, or that you don’t think about him all that much these days. Out of sight, out of mind. And he’s never really been there, even when he was there, after all.

Not going to reblog or mention the post where I saw these tags, but wow this sentiment sucks as someone who mostly writes one-shots when she writes fic. How does commenting on one-shots not translate to motivation for the writer to continue writing them? What is the thought process there?

Commenting is contributing to fandom; it's a dialogue with the writer while engaging in the community, in theory, and flat out claiming there's no need for it...? Sad, but not particularly unexpected, I guess.

I hate doing this but NC was hit by Helene harder than most of us thought it would be.

My household of 5 has been without working water and power for 3 days (9/29/2024 as I post this) so we've lost just about everything in fridge and freezers and our estimated time to get power back is around a week or 2 (as of 9/27/2024).

We've had to buy a grill so we could have a way to heat water and canned soups, a cooler, and several lights and batteries and now we're very low on money for bills and food once we do get power back.

My work has no power either so my next check is gonna be bad.

If anyone could spare a little money it'd help a lot.

But please, if you're in rough shape too, just reblog to spread word, I wouldn't feel right taking money from others that are also in need in this time as well...

idk quick doodles of a time where volo ends up finally giving up his plans and rei gets his friend back. i just really wanted to draw that hug haha

I keep finding art XD One of the scenes I immediately saw in my head when I was reading.

***

“There, look at us. Friiiends. Chat settle down I’m not being mean to him anymore.” Dream scowls into the fireplace. He quells his frustration over Techno’s conversation with the voices in his head and tries to guess what his chances of successfully escaping are. The odds are not in his favor. He sighs and settles for wriggling one hand free to reclaim his hot cocoa.

“Are you gonna let me go?” he asks between sips.

“Nah. I have an obligation to heal your bruised ego.” Dream gives up. Apparently, he lives here now. This is his life, he’s Technoblade’s teddy bear. Whatever. He goes back to writing.

After a few minutes, Techno puts his chin on his shoulder and sighs.

“M’tired,” he mumbles. “’ve been enchantin’ and fixin’ tools all day.”

“Then take a nap,” Dream tells him.

“Naps are for the weak,” he says. Five minutes later he’s fallen asleep. Dream lets out an exasperated laugh. He’s actually being used as a teddy bear right now. He should probably be less okay with this.

After months of solitude, sometimes the simple joy of company leaves him breathless. Dream takes in Technoblade’s sleeping face and reminds himself to breathe through the pangs of fondness.

someone else has probably articulated this better before but the reason we encourage minors to stay away from shows like helluva boss isn't because we think teenagers are incapable of handling topics like sex/violence/drugs, but because the CONTEXT that those things are depicted in is often shown in a way that people with limited experience/less-developed media analysis and critical thinking skills may have a hard time grasping the nuances of, and risk ending up taking away dangerous/harmful messages from it; e.g., people who think that the show is glorifying toxic relationships or unhealthy behaviors (like blitz's ignorance of other's boundaries or stolas' alcoholic tendencies, for example)

Scratch is Lillith Evidence

I've kind of accepted this as canon but I havent really seen anyone compile all the evidences so uh here for anyone curious

Kayne first references her in Part 20 which does reveal that Lillith exists in Malevolent:

In part 37, when John, Arthur and Oscar are exploring the barn, John sees a painting of a woman with pale skin and dark hair and seems to go into a kind of trance when he looks at her (which. Gestures. Lillith. Gestures. Succubus-y powers. Gestures)

Later when they open the gateway in Part 38, Scratch merges with a woman who looks exactly like the one in the painting and she's described as having "alabaster skin", aka world's most highly specific descriptor, which also happens to the same description used in the Lillith entry in the Malleus Monstorum for CoC seventh edition (BIG THANKS TO @/unsafewaters for sending the images to me)

And then in Intermezzo, Kayne directly mentions having a daughter and claims that she would "love" Arthur which could tie back to him being Her Favourite. Also I don't like using evidence that isn't in the source material but in the post season 4 QnA, when Harlan's reading out the notes he wrote for Intermezzo, one of the things he reads out is the daughter line, which implies it was important enough to mention (and wasn't just a throwaway joke)

And last but not least, Yorick mentions that Scratch/Owlexander/the entity watching them is close in power to Kayne which would make sense if he created her

Also earlier in the episode, Yorick implied Scratch may be working against Kayne specifically which does imply they have a pre existing relationship which would make sense if she was Lillith:

Extra evidence: In the fake Edward Willaim Allan's journal, he has an entry where talks about how, despite the fact he distrusts his "dream dweller" (who we know is Scratch pre fracturing), something about them still fills him with awe and he feels oddly seduces by them:

Which is likely Lillith using her powers to influence him and make him easier to manipulate (since it's heavily implied, if not basically explicitly stated, she was using him to open a gateway for her to enter the world)

Also! Semi unrelated but while I have your attention and talking about theories! I just wanna highlight a minor theory of mine that there's a high chance Kayne trapped Lillith in some kind of pocket dimension or prison of sorts because the prison line (from the second to last screenshot in this post) feels like foreshadowing and I find it odd that if she supposedly is close to him in power, she would need a humans help to travel through worlds (Also, she's framed as getting "freed" in part 38 when they do eventually open the gateway which leads to the question: free from what?) so that's something to consider

[avichor]

interacting and writing with people here is a two way street and i’ve noticed a lot of the times that people who complain about nobody writing with them, are the ones not putting forth any effort to initiate nor maintain interactions. why is the burden put on someone to reply to your messages or content expeditiously if you do not do the same? i’m genuinely tired of the victim complex people set up for themselves here and i won’t entertain it anymore

[cuppajj]

So like, I know this is pretty obvious but, if someone wants to show you BAAU OCs, it should be in the form of a post with you mention, not in your ask box, right? I dunno but clarification would be nice. :D

Yeah I prefer mentions in other people’s posts over asks, i dont really interact w oc stuff sent in my inbox because it makes me less comfortable with answering if that makes sense? i dont want my inbox to be an oc depository lol

"You're being entitled!" These bitches are asking us to fund their Hollywood-quality content dreams like Walt Disney pleading a bank he was in debt to to give him another loan to finish Bambi, a movie that did not see any monetary success until it rereleased seven years later. I have to pay so much big money in medical expenses every month that I don't have any "treats" (a starbucks coffee, a different subscription, etc) I can go without. I'm not the entitled one here.

sugar daddy sungchan w older ! inexperienced reader (idk i heavily headcanon him being into older women hehehe) but lorddd sugar daddy sungchan in general just makes me so 🤤

sungchan with an older partner is so real because he's the type to enjoy spoiling his s/o but he also wants to be spoiled in his own way </3

sugar daddy!sungchan would want to spend time with you as much as he could, even going out of his way to do just about anything to put a smile on your face. thinking about how he has a resting bitch face ☠️ and how all of that goes away the second he sees you enjoying yourself or smiling </3 sungchan would be romantically challenged so he'd have a bit of a difficulty figuring out what you really need if you felt emotionally-starved. he'd just end up spoiling you with a bunch of gifts because it's what he knows best.

intimacy with sugar daddy!sungchan would be a whole new world for you. it would be the first time he's ever asked for anything in return and it's to spend the night with you in the most respectful way possible. he might unintentionally be a bit rough at first, momentarily forgetting that you just asked him to be gentle in the cutest way possible. his cuteness aggression will not stand for it and he'd be struggling the entire time. sungchan would literally hear bells ringing in his head once you give him the green light to do what he wants once you've adjusted. he'd continue to spoil you with gifts, which can be overwhelming sometimes, but it's only because he wants to get laid lmaoo

also :

sugar daddy sungchan is definitely canon idk what to say

my favourite writing device is having an un-Rei-liable narrator

[wolfythewitch]

Do you think that Odysseus is a victim of SA?

I personally do, especially at the hands of Calypso.

Poor guy. Just wants to see his wife and son. He's a lil bitch but I love him

Yeah I think he's a victim of rape. Kept unwillingly on Calypso's island and forced to sleep with her? Dude is by no means a perfect guy but the morality of a character doesn't erase the trauma they experience

I'll never get over the fact that MK trades his friends for power to save his friends. What's wrong with him
