#That's a win win situation in my book

[all-pacas]

Chase inheriting house’s braincells the moment house lets go of his responsibility and losing all his abilities once house comes back is so funny bc it’s probably meta thing but also very parent-child coded. Kinda like being destined to mess up cooking when mom’s watching.

i'm recently really fascinated in this from a meta perspective. because like. the show is pretty fucking explicit in s1-3 that foreman is the Main Character, right? he gets the most focus, the strongest arc, he is house's special favorite (in an antagonistic way, but house clearly takes him under his wing in a way he doesn't the other two). he gets put in charge of a case in s1, and gets a whole arc in s2 where he's in charge again. foreman is the main character.

they kind of tamp down on this in s4-5 with the new team arc, but even then: foreman is the leader. he is the best of the team. he is the one house puts in charge, he is a supervisor, he is the smartest, he gets his own subplots and career. the show kind of drops this after s6 i think, although it's hard to say exactly when it happened: by s7 foreman's pathological need to be in charge is a running joke, and he starts being made fun of for it more often -- they were teasing him in s2 for it, too, but at the same time it was unequivocally true, right? by s7 they're still teasing him, but foreman isn't really given his moments of Strong Leadership to compensate. in any case, by s8 they clearly have abandoned the idea of foreman as house's natural heir, not just because foreman is now dean (instead of cameron, who in turn spend s4-5 getting lots of set up for that job): in s8 chase also starts getting very obviously thrown into the old foreman role, taking charge, being called the best of the crew, given lots and lots of focus episodes and time to shine.

i say this all because i think it's pretty clear, right? foreman is the best of the team. he is the smartest. he is the most leaderly. he has the most focus. so why, i wonder: why does chase keep getting the brain cell?

chase solves the most cases on the show outside of house. admittedly, several of them are clustered in s8, when he's being groomed to take over the department, but like. s3 he gets two independent solves; in s4.2 he solves the case two seconds after learning about it (admittedly in a moment kind of meant to show up the contrast between the old team and new candidates). in the pilot, he doesn't solve the case, but he figures out how to prove the diagnosis when everyone else is stumped. at the same time, early seasons chase isn't… i wouldn't say isn't smart, but is often slightly less likely to participate in differentials, is kind of a dumbass in a very chase-ish way; he's perceived as being a little dim. house is surprised in no reason when fake!chase says something smart, you know? chase isn't on the team for his genius intellect, he's there to keep people alive while house thinks. and that's fine! but he keeps getting that braincell.

and it's even more striking because foreman doesn't, usually. part of it is because a lot of foreman's arc is his struggles with his arrogance/coldness - he tends to lose patients to teach him a lesson, etc. and i think you can make a case that in s3, chase was written as more confident to set up his firing/leaving: foreman was going to leave as part of his development, cameron was leaving as part of hers (letting go of house -- her desire to protect/fix/shelter him by instead just letting him be), but chase doesn't really get character arcs like the other two, so we just need to prove he's ready to move on in other ways, right?

but he keeps solving cases. and foreman, really, doesn't.

i have no grand thesis conclusion here. i just find it fascinating from a meta perspective. there's a real temptation in fandom to pretend chase was always the most special smartest boy, and that really isn't the case. but because it wasn't the case, that makes his frequent wins even more interesting to me.

1, 17, 46 (surely i do not have to fill in the blank here)

hi kes :D

2. Name the best book you've read so far this year.

Watership Down. Bold words from a girl who hasn't finished it but so far it's really beating everything else by miles.

17. Favorite finished book series.

I'll give this one to the original Percy Jackson series tbh! I re-read all five recently enough to stand by it. Stays solid and consistent for all five books. The characters develop and the stakes get raised in a way that feels natural but not static. It has a formula that lets each one stand as a complete volume with a true beginning, middle, and end but also puts twists on the formula as the books go on. The later books pay off on things established in earlier books. it's just really solid and! i love it

46. I like _____, recommend me a book to read, please

I already TELL you about everything i read that i think you'd like.....will you accept one of those recommendations from me where i think it's like 50/50 whether you like it or hate it but it'll be interesting either way? in which case have you ever read Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys? I read it for a college lit class and it's one of those tragic pretentious (honorific) literary books where there was a lot of debate in the post-book discussion about what actually happened since it's told by two different biased narrators and gets really weird at the end, which you might find fun. it's also a book with a lot to say about power structures and the potential horrors of heterosexual marriage and about colonialism. and technically fits the bill of "miserable couple who hate each other and end up destroying each other." It's probably better if you've read Jane Eyre which is what it's building from/subverting/criticizing, but I think it would still be interesting to read even with only a basic knowledge of the relevant parts of Jane Eyre. i do remember that the way it dealt with race made me uncomfortable, i think it was in a "this is thought provoking to engage with and criticize in an academic setting" way but it might make it less appealing to read just for fun. and i haven't read it in like 6 years so i mostly remember my impressions, less what actually happens, BUT! it's under 200 pages which is another thing you like.

i'm also re-recommending We Believe the Children by Richard Beck bc it might be good for your audiobook era. but i know i already recc'd it to you

send me book asks!

[al-mayriti]

a cool podcast idea could be me and someone who hasn't read pjo going through the books, them getting excited about stuff and me explaining mythology stuff

[lindensea]

It turns out my art class is next to not one but TWO thrift stores, which are still open when the class lets out, and all of this combined is potentially very dangerous for me

Captain America (2005) #36

[velvetbunniie-archive]

always good of an author to know that if a character rlly rlly rlly loved someone, they would absolutely, under no circumstances, cause them harm under the mind control of someone else <3 you understand me. the romance inherent………….

[homunculus-argument]

Oh hey random storytime:

My mother had a dog of a fairly unusual breed, the kind breed whose existence I hadn't even heard of before the breeder became a family friend. This specific dog was a zero brain cell masterpiece specimen, so while he was fucking stupid, he had an impressive enough pedigree that it would have been a waste to not take him into dog shows, maybe win a few prizes and have him sire pups.

Anyway, this one time we were at a smaller dog show, not really an amateur one but definitely not a huge international event. It was held outdoors on a football field(?), and not only was my mom's dog the only one of his breed in the show, they had somehow completely forgot to include him in the show's schedule. We had come all the way over here to show off a dog that didn't have a time, judges, or ring for him anywhere in the plans.

So while my mother isn't the type to Demand To Speak To The Manager when something doesn't go her way, everyone was in the agreement that the fuck-up was on the show runners' side, and they were very apologetic about such an unprofessional mistake. And they did manage to find a show ring with a slot to squeeze him in, just before the next breed was about to start.

So they made a quick announcement in the ring just before the scheduled breed was going to start, and into the ring went the breeder and mom's dog. And while they were doing their little lap, surrounded by a mostly quiet, uninterested audience, I heard some random kid's faint voice asking

What happened to that one?

And it suddenly hit me how funny this whole situation must look like with no context. Mom's dog or his whole breed were not on the printed out leaflet schedule of the show, in this specific ring or otherwise. If someone showed up now, or somehow otherwise missed the announcement (which wasn't even broadcasted in any way, just yelled out over the crowd by one guy), holy shit they would be confused.

The dog breed that was booked on that spot was samoyeds. My mother's dog was a peruvian inca orchid. Imagine being at a dog show in the right place at the right time, 100% expecting to see one of those fluffy clouds on the left, and out walks the motherfucker on the right.

love clocking out at 4:15 and completely ignoring the emails that get sent to me while I'm waiting at the bus stop. get back to me on tues!

[inkskinned]

i hate to say it because i'm neurodivergent and a chronic-pain-haver but like... sometimes stuff is going to be hard and that's okay.

it's okay if you don't understand something the first few times it's explained to you. it's okay if you have to google every word in a sentence. it's okay if you need to spend a few hours learning the context behind a complicated situation. it's okay if you need to read something, think about it, and then come back to re-read it.

i get it. giving up is easier, and we are all broken down and also broke as hell. nobody has the time, nobody has the fucking energy. that is how they win, though. that is why you feel this way. it is so much easier, and that is why you must resist the impetus to shut down. fight through the desire you've been taught to "tl;dr".

embrace when a book is confusing for you. accept not all media will be transparent and glittery and in the genre you love. question why you need everything to be lily-white and soft. i get it. i also sometimes choose the escapism, the fantasy-romance. there's no shame in that. but every day i still try to make myself think about something, to actually process and challenge myself. it is hard, often, because of my neurodivergence. but i fight that urge, because i think it's fucking important.

especially right now. the more they convince you not to think, the easier it will be to feed you misinformation. the more we accept a message without criticism, the more power they will have over that message. the more you choose convenience, the more they will make propaganda convenient to you.

notes: nobu finally posting smt??????? nobu actually writing for once???????????? also this is just my obsession with boobs talking. dividers from cafekitsune. manga color tint by me

big men! with big chests that gets mistaken or joked of it being boobs by close friends and colleagues, who had gotten used to it. who at first used to get all blushy blushy but nowadays just shrugs it off with a disgruntled huff of “knock it off”

big men! who didn’t really see much problem when you started to favor their chest more, eventually opting to use them as a pillow rather than use your actual pillow since it gives them the advantage of falling asleep with you on top of them and they got to cuddle with you all night. a win-win situation in his book, as he could be quite clingy when behind closed doors. who laughs sometimes at the silliness of you smothering your face in between his chests, finding your obsession with his pecs to be endearing

big men! who didn’t realize how sensitive their chest could be until you decide to show it to them. squeezing, fondling the large muscles, tweaking his cute nipples occasionally and making him jolt in place with a cute blush covering his ears and cheeks. so adorable, like a meager bunny when he was nearly twice your size and could probably crush a grown man’s skull in with their hand

big men! who get so worked up over the dirty words you whisper when you pinch his hardened nipples, your words of “i could make your chest lactate”, “your boobs feel so heavy, darling”, “such a nice big tits you have” making him whine in the back of his throat, shaking his head as he shakily denies that “t-they’re not b-boobs… y-you nngh know that…”

big men! who gets manhandled by your smaller frame to lay on their backs, a cute surprised “eengk!” escaping his swollen lips as he looks up at you, pushing his tight shirt up until they’re resting over his chest, showing the big muscles you love so much. who cutely whine and wriggle in place under you as your fingers bully his hardened buds, pinching at the cute pinks, tugging on them before letting go, a noise of awe leaving your lips at the way his chest fucking jiggles while your bf could only jolt with words of “c-cruel… you’re so cruel to me. pu-unhh puppYAGH!”

big men! who get fucked stupid, brain churning into a mush by only having his nipples played with. pinched, tugged, even bitten till your fangs and teeth leaves a round mark closed around his areola that he slurs is too deep, acting like he is getting his tight hole spread open and fucked by your cock. whose face is so cutely flushed, eyes dazed over as he breathes heavily of “wan’ moowr.. ungh h-haah… annh♡︎ m-more please? touch me.. to-ouch me moore”

big men! who act like a sweet virgin who never got himself fucked by you when you kick off your pants, hardened cock already springing out and slapping against his cute boobs. who stare at your oozing tip with gaping mouth, letting out stuttered questions of “w-what… whaddaya doin’? h-hunny, noouw… no, don’t—♡︎!” before squealing when you squeeze his chest together, rutting your strap in between them

big men! who act like they have never seen your cock, never tasted it or even deep throated it before, acting like he never once took your dildo into his pretty hole until his legs shook as you fuck his boobs, moaning loudly like the cute bunny he is. who opens his mouth, jaw shaking as fat tears collect in his big doe eyes, messily sucking the tip, getting drunk on the taste of your pre already when you politely ask him to suck you off

big men! whose hands shakily grasp your ass, unintentionally helping you fuck their tits even more, pushing your strap even deeper inside his mouth as if he wanted you to just let go of their boobs and just fuck their throat instead. who lets out a cute confused noise, mouth full of your cock, batting his lashes up at you like the pretty little thing he is when you move his trembling hands to hold his boobs together instead of your ass. who tries to speak words of not knowing how to do it, still mouthful, as you give a tug to his cute bitten nipple, making him squeak

big men! who meagerly tries to fuck your cock in between his mounds, choking on your tip when you tilt his head down just enough so he could also suck you off, acting as if you just shoved your entire strap down his throat and was keeping it there, snuggly shutting him up. a whiny bf whose tears finally fall when you cum into his hot mouth, dropping of your cock when you came as if he was never drunk on the taste of your seeds before, letting some of it shoot over his face and hair instead. a hunky beast of a man, sniffling like a baby when he notices the mess you made of him, who dares to give you a half assed glare as if you forced him to make a mess

big men! who gets addicted to boob fucking after that one time thing, constantly thinking back on the feeling of squishing his own chest together to fuck your dick for you. whose hands finds themselves wandering to his pecs more often, pushing them together and moving them in soft round circles as if you would suddenly appear and fill the empty space between his boobs. who finds himself messing with his nipples over the tight fit of his shirt, finding himself to be perverted as he gets turned on by just fondling with his chest

big men! who, unable to keep teasing themselves anymore, start to touch themselves when you’re away on work or whatever. more specifically, their chests. rutting his clothed, hardened cock against a pillow that is squished between his thighs, tweaking at his nipples and tugging on them — just like how you do it — before letting go with a whimper. it hurt, but it also felt so good, he could feel his precum already wetting his boxers

big men! who finds out that his constant arousal by his nipples was a bad idea, as now every time he wears a tight shirt or compression vest, his nipples are rubbed and he finds himself getting horny. who, in desperation, decides to tenderly tape the cute pink nubs with a band aid, pouting to himself about how you were slowly but surely turning him into a perv

big men! who now finds it much easier to use his boobs to fuck you, quick to drop down to their knees in front of your clothed crotch, kissing the hidden thighs and inhaling at your natural scent with a love stricken look in their eyes. a cute, desperate bf who kisses your strap, rubbing you with his hands to try and get you hard as quick as possible. who hook their shirt over their chest, intentionally pushing his boobs together with his hands on his knees, creating the effect of round shaped breasts

big men! who impatiently watches until your cock is free, taking it into his mouth the moment you slide down your undergarments, suckling at the head just like how you enjoy it. who push you down to sit, so he could climb onto your lap, pushing his chest together so he could fuck your strap with his boobs, determined that now he had learned a good technique to make you feel good. who is quick to take the head of your dildo into his mouth, swiping the gathered pre with a pleased hum, looking up at your through his thick lashes with a drunken giggle before pulling away to spit on your hard on

big men! who drunkenly take the head of your strap into their hot mouth, suckling away at the delicious precum, unafraid to slobber all over your cock and his chest as he slowly moves the big muscles in a circular motion. who giggles in delight at your words of praise and groans, the tip of your cock that is still in his mouth vibrating with his drunk laughter. beefy bf who eagerly lap away at your cock head, slurping at the mess he made of his own drool and your precum before taking it back into his mouth, hollowing out his cheeks for you. only for you♡︎

big men! who pulls away again when you cum, watching with a cute mix of fascination and lewd anticipation as your hot cum shoots all over his jaws and chest, painting his skin in white. massaging your balls and stroking you through it all, opening his mouth slack as he stares up at you with hazed eyes, letting the last few drops shoot into his awaiting tongue, licking at his full lips with a pleasured hum. the salty, slightly sweet taste, a familiar one that he had gotten drunk on within the first round

big men! who straddle your lap, rubbing your wet strap on the round curve of his ass with a giddy giggle, feeling how the slippery wet tip doesn’t enter his tight hole without helping hands. finally, grasping at your dick with his hand, giving it a few strokes before pressing the tip against his entrance. your sweet bf who decide to be bold, sinking down onto your cock with one swift movement, a choked sob getting stuck in his throat at the sudden feeling of being “f-fughkk♥︎ a-aah haah mnngh♡︎ shooo fu-ull.. gut’s so ffuul of m-my [name]♥︎”

big men! who ride your dick all night, even as his muscles strain and his brain gets fucked into a stupid mush, slurring words of love and lust, saying all sorts of lewd things through his cum and drool covered pink lips as the kissable looking pair of muscles turn into a cute drunken smile. beefy big bf whose tits bounce all the while, their cute jiggles every time they sink down into your dick hypnotizing you to only focus on them. an adorable squeal escaping him as you tear away the band aids from his nipples, the stimulated nubs all hard and blush red as they greet you

big men! who squeeze their breast, forefinger and thumb squeezing around his nipple, as he grins at you with blown wide heart shaped eyes. “a-ain’t they cute…? dontcha wanna suck-unghk suck on them?” he asks, squishing his mound softly with a near delirious grin on his face. “come owwnn, don’t my [name] wanna taste my milk♡︎?”

big men! who lets out a pleased wet sob when you do give in, suckling, biting, squeezing at his jiggling boobs as he starts to bounce on your cock with a more fervent pace. who cries out at it being painful when you leave another teeth mark around his nub, one of his hands placed over his chest like one of the scared damsels in paintings. who slur out words of not being a damsel, of being a maiden, shaking his head as if he actually understood anything

big men! who gets their wombs filled with your cum for nth time that night, feeling his stomach start to bloat at the sheer amount he greedily took into his eager hole. fucked dumb bf who shakes his head at your words of getting off, refusing to lose the warmth in his stretched hole and filled stomach. who only notices when you pointed out, that his nipple was leaking, lactating a delicious white milk that dribbled down to his cum covered tummy. another drunk giggle follows, as he gets close to your ear to whisper a filthy slurred “now that i’m p-pregnant, my [name] better take responsibility♥︎”, having completely forgotten that he can’t get pregnant. but oh well, your beefy bf who is so adorable as he giddily speaks of carrying your young, rubbing at his belly with hearts swirling in his eyes, to the point you can’t bring yourself to correct him. only going slack on the couch with your sweet princess still on your lap
