something  to  keep  in  mind  is  that  sawyer  is  a  grown  woman,  she  pays  her  own  bills,  buys  her  own  groceries  and  basically  manages  ethereal  end  ON  HER  OWN  until  recently  when  they  began  to  blow  up.  however,  because  she's  rather  soft,  and  bubbly  and  subsequently  deemed  'baby'  by  everyone  she  meets,  there's  a  sense  of  treating  her  as  if  she  can't  handle  certain  things  on  her  own  or  that  she  needs  to  be  coddled.

now  listen,  sawyer  LOVES  being  taken  care  of,  she  loves  having  someone  she  can  rely  on  to  let  her  turn  her  brain  off  for  a  bit  and  relax.  that's  not  something  that  has  ever  made  her  feel  less  than;  it's  when  people  begin  to  try  and  tell  her  she  can't  do  something  or  hint  at  the  fact  that  she  may  need  help  with  something  she  DOESN'T  that  makes  her  upset.

sawyer  is  also  a  very  sexual  being,  she  wants  to  be  treated  like  a  woman.  there's  a  misconception  that  due  to  her  rather  demure,  bright  demeanor,  that  she  isn't  adventurous  when  it  comes  to  sex;  quite  the  contrary. 

in  short,  don't  underestimate  her  and  her  abilities!

it’s 10pm. do you know who you are?

you know, i can handle a little bit of fun "Nandor is dumb" talk, but i have a net-zero tolerance for any implication that Nandor is not educated.

Nandor would have been incredibly educated in his lifetime.

even (or especially) as a soldier in the Islamic World. being a soldier was more like getting sent to boarding school that's also a military camp. they weren't just concerned with creating loyal fodder for war. they were building the next government officials, generals, accountants, advisors, etc. it was important that young men knew how to read, write, speak multiple languages, learn philosophy...sometimes even studying art and music was mandatory.

if he was nobility (and its most likely he was), take all that shit and multiply it exponentially. Nandor would have been reading Plato at the same age most people are still potty training. he would have been specifically groomed in such a way to not be just a brilliant strategist and warrior, but also diplomate and ambassador of literally the center of scientific and cultural excellence of the age.

so like yeah, he can be a big dummy sometimes, sure. but that bitch is probably more educated than any of us will ever be.

keep seeing that post that's like 'anti positions are fascist and conservative but isn't the problem ALSO.... that people are using FANDOM TERMS and reducing the issue to SHIPPING when there are important politics going on?' like

a) my guy you are online. on the online fandom and shipping website. why do you think people talk about things through a lens of 'related to online fandom and shipping' here'

b) actually people who call themselves proship or equivalents have been having the 'antis are using fascist and conservative ideology and that's worrying' conversation for. checks watch. years. but thank god someone with a Real Adult Job who thinks fandom is cringe has come along to tell us that you've truly saved us all

i keep having people follow me after seeing various princess AU posts & i've discovered i'm on the list of top toh blogs on tumblr at the moment

& my heart rate just spiked So Bad.

no one has been mean or confused so far but please please please god PLEASE know: 1) i write a LOT of fic & meta about child abuse that involves belos being Very Very Very Upsetting (all the princess AU fic prior to luz killing him is some flavor of this), and 2) i'm a multishipper polyshipper who writes weird poly & queerplatonic stuff. that does Not easily fit into nuclear found family dynamics. or mainstream ship expectations.

people who've been here for a while already know this and have likely seen me make posts to this effect before. but i have to reiterate it sometimes because i've been told that i'm kind of. A Lot. and it's often offputting to fans who are looking for softer stuff.

"Don't like, Don't read" but I think people gotta understand that that means friends too.

Your friends may not want to read certain content that you make. You shouldn't see that as a sign that they don't care about you or love you any less.

Even if they have seen or interacted with your other creations before, they may not want to see certain ones. Whether it's a ship they do not like, has their triggers, or whatever it may be, that's not an attack on you. You can have someone else look it over if you need to.

Nor does that mean that you have to cater to your friends for them to care about you or stop creating that content! Friends don't pressure other friends to stop creating what they enjoy. Put up boundaries or drop them, if that's the case.

Either way, continue to make your good shit regardless!

Legit friendly PSA/reminder that this is just Tumblr, and there are a lot of reasons why people, I included, do not go into specific details about personal life/relationships/family on here. I know I talk A LOT more than “normal” people about my life and struggles on here, but I am very careful about what I post and for specific reasons I do not need to explain to anyone.

Tumblr is probably the creepiest social media I’m on, and a lot of people tend to forget how fucking scary the internet is for women. There is a 99% chance that if I talk to you on here often, we will remain friends on Tumblr only. This is literally no offense to anyone at all, I don’t even have some of my old coworkers I knew in person on my socials, and having people I simply don’t know well on my personal socials is not something I will ever change. I am simply doing this to keep myself and my family/relationships/personal life safe.

I have had people on here try to find me on other socials, try to find where I live, get mad when I don’t want to tell them exactly who I work for, etc, etc. and it’s fucking scary. There is no need to know these things about someone at all, especially someone you met online that lives hours/days away.

Please respect my decisions to not talk about certain things on here, not tell you my full/legal name (yes, people have gotten mad at me because they think they are entitled to know my “real” name), not tell you what company I work for, not want to tell you my personal socials, etc.

Like, is this wrong of me to think this way or….

BEARDS ARE FLAMMABLE BUT BUCK IS A FIREFIGHTER.

OKay okay okay wait, I have a thought. Walk with me, bc -

Beards (as a gay man, using female partners to hide your queerness, "a disguise") are flammable (hello 7x10 finale, Eddie's life going up in flames as his son and girlfriend of several months walks in on him and Kim and then Chris moves away to Texas and doesn't talk to him for months), but Buck is a firefighter (when Eddie's life is in shambles, Buck is there to help. Wife just died and parents pressuring you about moving back to Texas at your shield ceremony? Buck will make his sister cut his pants up and hobble his ass down to the station despite the fact that he should resting. Get really traumatizing news and have a breakdown and scare your child and wreck your room? Buck comes running and looks after Chris and takes care of you and helps fix the mess you made. Life blown up bc your child caught you with your dead wife's (possibly clinically insane?) doppelganger and then calls his grandparents at 2am to take him back to Texas for God knows how long? Buck is there to try and convince him not to go, and then to hand the bag over and stand by your side when he can't.)

Buck is always in the room and beards may leave your life in ruins but he's always there to beat the flames back and help put the pieces back together.

i've also recently reread my old smile for me retrospective for old time's sake. i'm still super proud of it, it's probably both one of my best pieces of writing and the most peaceful way i've ever let a special interest go, but Man, you can really tell it was written before the bloom update/before i learned that transfem habit hcs were a thing lol.
