#and I am very grateful

I’m just so happy that Kao got to end the show in a happy relationship with someone who loves and understands him. The asexual character got to be in love and be loved in return. I might cry

January OTP Prompts

Maybe I was wrong, maybe it's not easier to write these in the morning. Maybe I'm just getting burnt out on them? Who knows, BUT we got today done and we are almost done with the month and I am going to be so ridiculously proud of myself for sticking with it when it's through! Thank you so much again to everyone who has been reading and so supportive. I truly didn't think anyone was going to give these any thought except for myself so thank you so much again!!

18. Wind

Matty was like a flower, leaning back with his head tilted towards the sun, letting it beat down on his face, warming his body, a content smile curling across his lips, his curls billowing around him, framing his features in the wind. The bridge of his nose was starting to look a little pink, as were his shoulders and George knew he should get up, should make his way across the boat they had chartered for their day off, and remind him to reapply sunscreen. But for the moment, George stayed seated, admiring him from afar. 

Matty’s hair was getting longer these days, long enough that he complained he was too old for this and needed to get it cut, the curls streaked with gray. The complaints always stalled, at least for a few days, when George dug his fingers into the tangle and pulled. Now, he looked like a woman in a shampoo commercial, his curls wild and windblown. George smiled to himself, knowing that Matty’s eyes were bright behind his sunglasses. 

“What are you staring at, weirdo,” Matty called over the roar of the wind as their charter captain guided the boat over the water. A cheeky grin now playing across features, George shrugged, not caring that he had been caught staring. 

“You,” George called back sweetly and Matty blushed, his cheeks darkening to match the pink blooming across his nose. 

Ross, who was sitting next to him, sipping from a beer, pretended to gag. George just rolled his eyes. Even after ten years together, they had never truly left the honeymoon stage. If you asked George, why should they have moved past it? He loved Matty, always had, and alway would. Just because they had been together for years, doesn’t mean that his presence wasn’t going to make his insides melt. 

George got up, and carefully made his way across the boat to where Matty was sitting, holding onto the seats lining the perimeter of the boat for support. 

“Hey,” he said, plopping down next to him, the wind instantly blowing Matty’s curls into George’s face, causing him to laugh even as he got a mouth full of hair. Matty shifted his weight, angling his body so the wind was now blowing his hair off his face and away from George. 

“Hey,” Matty said, looking up at George over the tops of his sunglasses, what George knew was supposed to come across as seductively, but had Matty bursting into giggles a moment later, ruining the effect. 

“You’re getting burnt,” said George, reaching under the seat to retrieve the backpack he had stashed at the start of the trip, to pull out a bottle of sunscreen and holding it up.

Matty frowned, disliking the sticky lotion, but hating being burnt more. 

“Thanks,” he said, louder than he normally would have spoken to be heard over the wind. 

“Of course,” said George, and Matty twisted, allowing George to rub the thick lotion into his already tender skin. George winced, they should have reapplied sooner. 

Matty shifted again, looking back up at George thoughtfully. George couldn’t resist; he reached out, and dabbed a dollop of sunscreen onto Matty’s nose, causing him to gasp in surprise. George laughed and pulled Matty, sticky and windblown, into his side, while Matty rubbed at his nose, trying desperately to work the thick, cold lotion into his face. 

“I love you,” said George.

Matty chuckled, his nose wrinkled from the sunscreen but he pressed himself against George anyway. “I love you too.”

BEAUTIFUL PERSON AWARD! Once you are given this award you're supposed to paste it in the asks of 8 people who deserve it. If you break the chain nothing happens, but it's sweet to know someone thinks you're beautiful inside and out. 🤭❤️

Thank you so much! I've always known I was God's gift to the world but to have it confirmed sometimes is so nice.

It is okay to need pain medication to function with your chronic pain. It is okay. I promise. I know everywhere you turn pain medication is demonized. I know that it is scary to talk about. It is okay to be grateful that you have access to pain medication. Pain meds have greatly improved my quality of life and I wouldn't be able to live my life outside of my bed without them. And that's okay!!!

this doesn't really count as a preview of my piece for the 2025/2026 gravity falls hunkles calendar but it doesn't really not count either

and the only way to understand what I mean, because I never remember to post my calendar art, is to go order one from @gfhunklescalendar and be part of the history we're making...together

after you order your calendar drop me an ask with your hunkle stan thoughts and I'll try to turn some of them into art

Wouldn't it be fucked up to visit a wax museum and look your younger self in the eyes.

Wouldn't it be fucked up to know that the 'you' people find worth preserving is a 'you' you can never go back to, maybe never were to begin with. That the 'you' that the people find worth preserving is one without so fundamentally without personhood, without agency.

Wouldn't it be fucked up if the way people immortalized you was as an accessory to your mother, 'your' wax seamlessly pushed against her wax as the wax mother holds 'you' so fondly, yet so distantly, 'you' looking at her but not her to you. Your name isn't even on the placard at her feet, just hers. Wouldn't it be fucked up if this is the first time you had seen your mother in four years, and here she is, reminding you that you'll never escape her?

JJK OLYMPICS OHHH YOURE A GENIUS

head spinning w sooooooo many athlete aus rn….. 

satoru honestly isn’t half as cocky as the media makes him out to be but he could be because you bring up world champion men’s freestyle swim times and it’s his name on the scoreboard ten times before someone else shows up. he’s faster than himself by fifteen seconds all around, he’s earned a bit of cockiness. mentioned in the last post that whenever he’s at a competition and he finishes a race, he looks at the camera and signs a little infinity sign and then blows a kiss to you. some bitter old coach always calls him out on it, and gets him fined for unsportsmanlike conduct, and he’s happy to pay the fees if it means getting a message home to you, but eventually you two come up with a new code; and at his next race, he places gold, turns to the camera, crosses his middle finger over his pointer finger and smiles. when he’s in his post-race interview, he makes sure to explain that he does it for you with the widest smile on his face.

megumi nepotism baby but not in the same sport. toji was a multi gold medalist back in his heyday for shooting, so it’s not really a surprise to anybody that megumi has scary good aim, but he takes to archery instead of shooting. actually the idea of megumi being an emo little kid and throwing rocks at a tree when his dad pissed him off his hilarious, and even funnier is toji watching him, slightly amused and a little scared because megumi is maybe six and hitting the exact same spot every single time. he grows to be very blase about it—it’s more of a release/hobby for him that he happens to be really good at, and well, now good enough to earn a few olympic medals. megumi is not a fan of having his dad ruffle his hair on international television after he’s won, but he supposes it can’t be helped.

i don’t know where to put yuuta…. tennis…. tempting….. him in his little white shorts…. little grunts after he serves…. cries….. a complete 180 in his personality when he’s playing vs doing anything else. so charming and sweet and kinda shy when he’s being interviewed, and the second he steps on the court his eyes are so cold it’s scary…. need him… extremely nerdy about his rackets, and shoes, and clothes, and rambles to you about aerodynamics and posture and torque whenever you ask him to teach you, and you always have to shutup him up with a kiss and remind him that yeah you sort of want to learn to play tennis for him, but mostly you came bc he looks hot doing it. once he got asked in an interview if he ever thinks about you while he’s playing and his response was very concise, “no, never. it would be a big distraction,” and did not realize the implications of his heavily televised words. 

also…. not to make this post 40% yuuta but we could pull from canon a bit and make his sport fencing. he doesn’t excel because he’s the strongest, it’s because he’s learned to treat the sword as an extension of himself and a good strategist… also because i like the image of him pulling the helmet/mask off and shaking his hair out………..

don’t even know where to put yuuji…. volleyball? basketball? track and field??? the irony of him easily being the most athletic but canonically does not want to play sports 😭 but i can see him playing a sport because someone scouts him and it turns out to be a way to make steady money to support himself and his grandpa :( by the time he’s qualified and made it to the olympics, wasuke is doing much better (thanks to yuuji having landed some preemptive sponsorships and being able to afford better medical care), but not so well enough that he can travel across the world to watch yuuji play. wasuke tells you that you should travel and be with yuuji, but yuuji is so touched by the idea that you would stay with his grandpa and be by his side when he’s away :(( he wins gold, of course, and he doesn’t even wait until the closing ceremony—which, he’d mentioned in all of his interviews, so nobody can be too upset. he’s on record saying, “i’m excited to play, but i’m even happier to be going home. my girlfriend and my grandpa are watching me and i miss them!” several times— he’s on the first flight home with flowers, and tears in his eyes. puts his gold medal on his grandpa’s neck as a thank you, and spends probably thirty minutes straight hugging you and kissing you and honestly don’t put it past him to propose now that he’s got nike ambassador money 

nanami started judo as a way to relieve the stress of his overbearing job, and someone at the gym/training center notices he seems to be a natural despite being a beginner. he starts to draw a crowd, which annoys him at first because the point of judo was discipline and release from having to deal with too many people at his office job, but nanami supposes he can’t be too mad when you introduce yourself as a talent scout and offer him professional training. there’s irony in him accepting your offer, because it was definitely not based in professionalism at all… quitting his job as a salaryman to become a professional athlete in his mid-twenties was not on his bingo chart, but if it means he will have met you, then so be it. you’re with him all the way, through his training, competitions, world championships, qualifiers, all the way until he’s on the podium. you’re the first to congratulate him, but he interjects by telling you he’s quitting. you ask him why—he just won at the olympics for crying out loud, but nanami just shakes his head, puts down his flowers and his medal so his hands are free to hold your face and tell you, “it would be unethical to kiss my manager, so i am quitting.” (later, when everything is said and done, and you two are cuddling, you mention to him that he could just hire a new manager, and not quit his new career, to which he blushes because yeah… that’s probably more rational, but rational was not in his train of thought at the time)

Your metas make watching the show so much fun for me. You pick up on so many little details that would absolutely go over my head if someone didn't point them out in a really loving and appreciative manner.

I hope you continue on with them, Alice (@matan4il), because your writing is really incredible and I'm in awe of what your brain comes up with but even if you stop doing them, I want to thank you for writing them in the first place. You don't owe anyone anything and yet you have given us so much content and so much love and cyber hugs with the comfort of your meta blankets that it has definitely for myself made buddie a safe place to be. So thank you and whatever happens, I shall stalk your blog endlessly.

I went back and forth on whether to make this post. I guess what made me decide I probably should post it is not wanting anything to come as a surprise or shock to anyone following this blog.

In my 613 meta post, I kind of got nostalgic about how I started posting my weekly meta in 3b, and I mentioned that if it hadn’t been for people asking me to, these posts would not have existed. I’ll add, without those supporting my meta posts weekly, they wouldn’t have continued either (same goes to a degree for my ask replies). I’ve had my share of moments when I’ve seen engagement going down, leaving me with the impression that what I write must not be good enough for people to read, to reblog, to like, so I considered stopping.

But every time I did, I thought about the kind words I’ve read from people in reblog tags, I remembered those who told me that their enjoyment of the ep is increased by reading my meta posts, I thought about the people who enjoyed the meta posts enough to reblog them, and of the likes left on these posts, and I just couldn’t let all of these people down. I am not kidding when I tell you I probably would have stopped posting two years ago if it hadn’t been for the kindness you’ve all shown me.

But I also started recognizing that there’s a good chance engagement will continue to go down. And I don’t want to become bitter or angry over it. I’d rather quit before I get to that point. So earlier this season, I decided on an arbitrary cut off point for myself. If engagement drops below that, I will stop. I enjoy writing the meta posts, but I’d like to feel like I’m enjoying them together with others. And if that’s no longer the case, I wanna be able to say my goodbyes elegantly and without any hard feelings. I’m hoping this won’t happen before the end of s6, but I thought I’d share this now, to be on the safe side.

Why am I sharing it? At the end of the day, this is all up to the people who read my meta posts. If you like them and would like to continue reading them, please let me know by supporting them, by engaging with the latest (614 meta) or older, maybe even ask your friends to do the same, but ONLY IF you feel like it. And if engagement does eventually drop to the point where it no longer meets that cut off point, I don’t want anyone to feel surprised or hurt. I want you to remember that all of your kindness matters. That every post from me you’ve enjoyed in the last two years? If you’ve supported these posts, then the credit goes to you. I want you to remember that YOU and your choices matter, always.

Have a good day and take care of yourselves, lovelies. xoxox
