#SHOUT OUTS TO RORY

[intuitive-revelations]

Fun fact (relating to the "first same sex kiss" Deadline discourse):

If you include kisses that aren't lip-to-lip, Eleven and Rory arguably kiss each other 3 times:

4 times if you throw in the IDW comics too:

(For context, Amy and Eleven body swapped earlier in the story and have switched back at this point, but Rory doesn't know if it was successful.)

looking back on the fic I've written in the last few years and my own sexuality journey has made me realize that there is an argument that poly folk and ace/aro folk process love in a lot of the same ways, like the idea that you can have significant, life-defining relationships with different people and you get something important and sometimes even a similar flavor from each relationship but each one is still fundamentally different and significant in its own way and sometimes you don't want sex but you do want hugs and your partner may be having sex with their other partner but that does not make your relationship any less important because they come back to hug you and having more hearts bound up in your own is never a bad thing, because being loved no matter the form is never a bad thing, you are lovable and you can love so many people and having a heart overflowing with love for other people and things and the universe just means that you're healing and finding the people who fit you in whatever way that comes and there will always be someone cooking in the kitchen filling your heart and stomach no matter what and in this essay i will-

I gotta ask. Is Rory the RA in reference to Rory Gatlin from Infinite Blue?

hiiii haha. hello. exceptionally awkward introduction bc idrk how to start something like this so let's just jump right in. im taking a break from this account for a bit. i know i said i wanted taob out before halloween and currently im fine sticking with that deadline, but if i decide i need longer away then i will take longer away. every time ive reassured people that id never abandon a fic and updates will always come eventually i never once considered that my writing and ability to feel safe and comfortable on this site would be actively taken from me, so im not even going to apologise. i dont want this either and more importantly i dont fucking deserve it. i dont know what it is in the past year, if ive hit a certain amount of followers or 'popularity' that's made it so the natural ratio of positive to negative interactions must in turn go up, but there's been a serious uptick in weird asks for me. the annoying part is that a very small amount of them are actually objectively mean and hateful, the rest are just weird and invasive from people who seemingly dont realise that's what they're being. ive reached a point where i dont care if the intentions are good. it's not my job as a 20 year old tumblr user of all things to defend the morality of someone who couldnt even bother to come off anon. unfortunately, after blocking only one or two anons, the weird asks have decreased substantially, which says all you need to know about the fascinating and exhilarating lives led by these people, but ive also gone on to turn anon asks off entirely. this is something i actively fought against doing and had to be pushed into by my mutuals (who have been the coolest people on planet earth during this entire thing). turning off anon was a big deal to me even if it sounds silly. i felt betrayed and like id been backed into a corner because it was so vehmently something i DIDNT WANT that to feel like i had to do it anyway for my own mental health??? that sucks. so even though ive 'fixed' the problem, im still kind of reeling and uncomfortable every time i come on tumblr. i hope it's just something i need time to ease because i'll truly be devastated if this becomes 'ruined' for me. tumblr exists as the only place in the world where i am honestly every facet of myself without shame or hesitation; losing that would be insanely harmful to me. and to the people who cant appeal to the actual human behind the post, let me put that in words you can understand: we wouldn't get any more writing 😦😦😦 riots and fires and sirens, i know. so yeah. to anyone who has sent me an anon ask and you're now wondering if you were part of the problem, im firmly of the belief that you'll know if you are. when i say 'weird asks' i dont mean 'you sent me a para about your personal life just to vent or ask for advice' or 'you sent me a really deep emotional compliment about the impact me and/or my writing has had on you' - i love asks like that, so much that i put off taking a break and turning off anon solely for the joy they bring me. im sorry that it might feel like you're being punished too bc of the actions of what in reality is a HANDFUL of weird people, but this is what i feel like i have to do to feel safe and not go insane every time i log in. love you guys, hopefully ill see you soon x

in the amelia pond au, amelia’s aunt does still send her to therapy between doctor adventures, but since amelia is now secure in the fact that he’s Definitely Real since both rory and mels have also met him and because she lost a tooth last week from tripping on the stairs of the tardis, she doesn’t bite any therapists this time around. and besides, her therapist is a very funny lady. she reminds amelia of her doctor, with how her voice will flip and jump in volume and accent and tone on a whim, with how she’ll talk to amelia like they’re conspiring together. she keeps the pictures amelia draws of the doctor and their adventures for her, even hangs one or two on the walls. she listens very intently to every detail, which no adults in amelia’s life do save the doctor himself and river song, whenever she’s around. and best of all, whenever she tells amelia’s aunt that amelia is doing just fine, don’t you worry, she’ll grow out of this, she winks at amelia so that amelia will know her therapist is only playing along to wave away her aunt’s suspicion.

it is a little odd, though, that she insists on only being called Missy. but amelia is quite used to odd by now.

Now that I've introduced you all to crazed conspiracy theorist Layla, I can post these doodles with context

Cute

"You're cute." Remus says as he cards a hand through the mess of black hair.

All he gets in response is an offended huff and a raised eyebrow.

"Don't look at me like that. You are the cutest I've ever seen."

The short soft hairs slowly morph into long, equally soft human hair.

"Why is it that Padfoot is cute, but I'm not?"

"You *are* Padfoot. Aren't you? I think you're cute, always."

"What?"

"You're cute. The cutest I've ever seen."

"Why?"

"Because I like you? And also just because. And I kind of want to kiss you."

"Oh... yes."

"Yes?"

"I kind of want to kiss you too"

I don't share a lot of self ship thoughts on my blog but know I've been going ballistic over Copia for the past month

I heard about this group from my close friend Rory, and though I've always wanted to rp in a RF group, I've never found one until now! I'm new to forum rp in particular, but I've rp'd in other spaces such as discord and tabletop rpgs for many years. With all of that said, I'd like to request a reserve for Micah from Rune Factory 3, if possible?

oh, that's absolutely possible! :>

Micah from Rune Factory 3 is now reserved!

aight it’s been a hot minute since i last made one of my highly specific nyra commentary on absolutely minuscule details of her characterisation but i gotta rectify that.

i was looking at @sunshinemage​‘s portrait of her as one does and i thought a bit about the way she chooses to present herself. rory’s a magician so both vibes and features are on point, which leads me to today’s ramblings!

i often say that she doesn’t have grace. she doesn’t. she has all the grace of a stomping elephant. there’s a sense of physicality about her, a physical presence that is as strong as her mental one; she takes up space, she intimidates, she looks as if she can harm you really really badly (and she can, so it’s not a hypothetical much.) i always associate her motion with a forceful, loud stride and with the bat of heels on the floor. her poor mother’s tried to remedy that as befits a daughter of high society but nyra’s nyra and she does what she wants so antonia backed down, knowing she was no match to her daughter (and there’s something to be said about that iron will of hers, which in her less mature years could look like a my way or the high way mentality. these days, it often looks like you do it your way i do it mine and there’s a 40% chance it’ll blow up in her face. she’s.. she’s getting better at managing it but there’s only so much she can do to a personality trait.)

if she starts out with very little grace (and even less willingness to learn it), her life experiences and trauma don’t help develop it whatsoever.

but what is there is a sense of class. not really in a i’m noble and like, a descendant of doric so you respect me kinda way even though there was a little bit of that when she started out. it’s more a sense of her feeling like she earned the place she’s at right now many times over, so she demands respect for it. she will gladly give it back and when she does, it’s genuine. she can acknowledge you to be as great as she is (at least in accomplishments; her self esteem has been on a fucking roller coster for years and fun fact, she doesn’t view herself as a good person!) but you also have to acknowledge her achievements in return.

case in point: she fully sees el as her equal and as better than her in science/magical studies. she isn’t afraid to admit to that. likewise, he has respect for her too, only he’ll rarely, if ever, voice it aloud and considered it below his dignity to say it. she will also praise trahearne, and not because he’s her partner. but that’s a more mutually respectful relationship because he’s also MY GIRLFRIEND’S KINDA BADASS about her too <3

it reflects in her clothing choices off battlefield. she dresses like krytan royals and courtiers of like a few centuries ago and there’s a very particular vibe that it gives off. it leaves a very specific impression and that’s intentional. look at this and tell me this doesn’t scream class in more than one way. (art by @just-eyris-things​, as an illustration of how it looks like on her)

tl;dr i’m normal about nyra i promise

Still salty we didn't get an "it's not actually your baby" and Buck breakdown out of that stupid ass sperm donor plot set to Save Myself by Ed Sheeran. That song is so painfully Buck coded it hurts and it would have been perfect! We were robbed.

[crossf1recreat1ons]

This is actually so relatable to me! I’m autistic and I had struggles communicating with other people growing up. More recently I found a friend group at school and I thought they were so cool! It’s amazing how we engage in our conversations together (primarily artwork and music at the moment).

Oh and don’t forget my online friends too! They’re epic as well ^^

A Man of Few Words

For some reason whenever my throat hurts, I can't do anything. I can't make myself food, I can't play guitar, can't clean, can't talk to anybody without being grumpy. I turn into this fucking thing from Re-Animator

I don't really know how else to describe it. Just fucks me up real bad
