#Quality time for example

It's currently 6:41 AM at where I am and I've written tooth-rotting fluff for our boys — With Nigel being the weirdo he is — first thing in the morning! I wrote this on my idea notes and I've edited it for better understanding.

Here is the unedited version, it's a draft and please excuse my chicken handwriting. I know it SUCKS!

Here is the edited version!

Nigel had such tantalizing Blue eyes, the way it glows as the sun reflects from it: an iridescent glow that makes his supple white skin twice as cold. Alex continues to stare at the dead weight on top of his chest, admiring every little detail of Nigel's sleeping face. Somehow it reminds Alex of a cat, specifically a Mainecoon: Black lustrous fur a stark contrast against those blue irises that gives the feline such intimidating yet regal looks.

Nigel begins to stir in his sleep, tell tale signs of waking up. Alex's hand situated on Nigel's back, gently rubbing delicate to coax him awake.

"I see that you've taken a keen interest in watching me sleep" Nigel says, Making Alex jump in surprise.

"Jesus christ, Nigel, were you awake this whole time?" He watches Nigel stretch his sleepy body, smothering kisses along Alex's collarbones.

"You could say I've been awake since 5:30 AM" Alex glances at the digital alarm clock: 8:17AM. He's been awake for more than 3 hours and yet he looked like he slept a log. Alex stares at him with such perplexion. How the hell can he close his eyes and wait for him to say those words?

"How the fuck do you do that?" The question seemed so sincere that makes Nigel chuckle, he is so innocent.

"I like to imagine that I'm dead, a lifeless corpse lying beside a living, breathing one. It gives me such clarity that you don't know of" Nigel watches Alex's contort from peaceful to something more conflicted from his reply. Oh the horrors in his face makes him guffaw.

"Fucking hell you are so weird!" He pushes Nigel off of his chest as he continues to at his reaction, holding his stomach. As Alex untangles himself from Nigel and the covers, he mumbles something along the lines of: "I can't believe I'm in love with a freak" as he walks away from the bed.

Once Nigel's cries of laughter dies down, a warm feeling in his chest brightens his heart: a smile occupies his face.

"I love you too, Alex." He whispers to himself as he lies on the side of Alex's bed that smells just like him.

He gets up and follows suite to the kitchen where they usually bicker in the morning.

Was forced to watch a truly incredible (derogatory) thing recently.

A young person on twitter, adamant that transandrophobia doesn't exist on the grounds that 'no one is killing/raping/assaulting trans men'.

Several people responded, including some linking articles about murders and assaults on trans men and a couple op-ed style pieces of trans men talking about their own experiences.

Said young person responded with "I'm not reading those its triggering and I'm a minor"

So let me see if I've got this correct, you are knowingly refuse to acknowledge reality because it's upsetting to you and then you're going to turn around and deny that very reality because you refuse to acknowledge it because it's upsetting?

Musical Touken Ranbu: Michinooku ~ Hitotsu Hachisu (Michinooku ~ A Single Lotus)

Here we go! Only a few days after the archive release and toumyu's ninth anniversary (congratulations!)

Michioku, or Michihasu, is a myu I have many conflicting feelings about, both positive and negative. However, I do believe that with the right amount of care in the next Mika-related story myu, the negative can still be cleared. Plus, I'm glad about a lot of things being re-established. The writer does need to step up her game a little on the plot-writing side of things, as well as the understanding-and-respecting-past-myu side of things, but as long as she does, this can still be given a proper place within what was already established.

Keep in mind that these are only the subtitle files, timed and tled to the DMM senshuuraku and the bluray respectively. The archive version will have a talk at the start, so the starting times of the subs will have to be delayed accordingly.

You can find the subtitles and my TL notes document here!

Why does my art not do so good on Tumblr? I have 4.7k followers here but my posts only reach like 200 on average, as opposed to Twitter where I have 1.2k and my art does 1k on average?

Looking back on the post now, I actually should've shown the rest of Atreus's arm tattoos compared to the depiction of Inuit arm tattoos bc this specific example makes it even more obvious

The way Antony Starr has made me question my own morals for like 3 years needs to be studied. Cause Tony is so scrumptilicious, so fine and if he ever did that head tilt tongue thing while looking at me I'd offer him my holes. But Homelander??? That man can bite the curb, looking at him makes me sick. But it's like, it's different??? His energy is different with hl and I'm always so disgusted by him, but then I see Tony and I'm like take me. Its so confusing.

Yu Yu Hakusho 20 円 Bookmark Packaging

Year: 1994 Brand: Unknown

(Presumably, these were sold in sleeve packs to various stores to be sold for 20 yen a piece in a similar way to their US sticker machine counterparts, I believe the hiragana (?) at the bottom is the brand name? If someone could translate so I could update my information that'd be great <3)

So a while ago I drew/skeched out Lamb’s Spouses

Decided to share them here because why not

Also drew the kids if anyone is interested in seeing them

[hedonists]

Hot take, but maybe if we stopped labeling art by first time creatives as "bad" or "awful" in quality, people wouldn’t be so damn afraid to just start creating.

it actually needs to be studied how little i care about the zodiac academy characters. because usually i am naturally more drawn to characters and plot lines from longer series which makes sense because thinking about it logically, you spend far more time with those characters than with those in standalones or shorter series. its sort of of like comparing tv shows to movies, you might like them both, but youre going to spend more time thinking about the characters you watched the most screen time of (this is almost certainly why i have horrible addicted series brainrot that only multiplies each time i reread it. the time i’ve spent with those characters compared to others is off the charts)

now i won’t pretend to know off the top of my head how long this series was and i don’t really care to check i just know that it’s around 8-10 books probably and after this i am about to log that i finished this book and then NEVER think about these characters again im so sincere they will never cross my mind. the fact that i even got reminded that the last book released was a fluke i genuinely might have never remembered to circle back to it and im not sad about that but its just SO UNUSUAL to read this many books about a group of characters and walk away not feeling at all changed by them or feeling any connection whatsoever. and that is the truest testament to how poorly written this series was. goodbye and goodnight. see you NEVER zodiac academy 🫡 (🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳)

Recent disney and pixar movies have felt like movies in the way that monster high movies feel like movies. And I don’t want anyone to see this and go “but at least monster high movies are good!” cuz, sure whatever I don’t care, just listen. What I’m saying is these recent disney movies are so forgettable and I don’t think it’s just because of the rise of streaming services fucking up how the films are marketed and viewed, they also feel unbelievably pointless. They feel like movies made around a plot that would be forced into a ten minute episode if it were a cartoon made by smaller creators rn. The plots are so simple I feel like a toddler like I feel like the stakes have gotten increasingly lower and everything is underwhelming. Toy story 4’s big conflict was woody needs to get the plastic spoon back to the little girl. Inside out 2 was the emotions needing to get back to headquarters while riley is just at hockey camp and they learn their lessons in five minutes. Encanto is just mirabelle talking to her family and then singing songs at her. Strange world was a very basic father/son relationship story with no real stakes. The main thing luca wants in luca is a vespa and the main thing mei wants in turning red is concert tickets. Not even gonna glance at wish or lightyear cuz like who watched those what are those movies even for. I can’t remember any of these movies and even the ones I liked are still underwhelming and I walked out of them trying to justify that to myself like “oh well not every movie has to have a crazy plot, sometimes they can be simple”. But it’s like. All their movies now. And the characters are uh, they’re okay in some of them I guess I dunno. And this isn’t even to say that the more beloved older disney movies never had simple plots cuz like look at Cinderella, half of that movie is just animals getting into shenanigans to fill time. But idk, it felt like people actually wanted to make that movie and put love and attention into it. Now these things are just disney pumping out vague emotions that might get them an award while coating everything with this “look at how much money we have” polish

Longjing's kisses are like spring rain, cold to the touch but come abundantly. They never last longer than a few seconds but if you were brave enough to pull him in for another, he doesn't hesitate to return the favor by tenfold, kissing you so passionately until the only thing you can think of is the overwhelming scent of tea that lingered on your lips after each kiss and the intense look in his eyes every time he pulled away.

"Breathe," he reminds you, allowing you a brief moment to catch your breath before he mercilessly captures your lips again, not allowing a word of protest to slip out of your mouth as he pours all his love into each individual kiss that he presses onto your lips. 

And if you ever doubt his love for you again, all he would have to do is show you how much he loves you again.

tea bea ayche, Jill/Chuck (she would definitely still go by Chuck) is 100% intersex and I think that's something she'd struggle with for a while, that clashing with the cultural senses of masculinity and femininity + her mother's (Vincent) stout beliefs on how a woman ought to be

something I love about early seasons Sam - that could Honestly just be me projecting but whatever- is that he gets meaner when he’s under pressure
