#and also he's a grown man bla bla

[slightlymessier]

didn't dan stop saying 'what can i say' after he saw that compilation. i fear for the lives of the outfits about to be roasted

[kneelingshadowsalome]

i'm not sure if that's true but i've seen somewhere that bunnies can symbolise fake innocence so...,.,.. (also im so sorry this is so long :,))) )

idk maybe just the image of women in könig's head seems to be something similar? they're sweet and helpless and need someone bigger to protect them. in that way they hold more power - no one ever assumes that a woman could be cruel or downright evil.

and so does könig, even though it's almost a conscious choice to him. he'll let women use him and manipulate him so long as he gets the privilege of being approached by them first despite being visibly much bigger and stronger. and that also being exactly the same as people feeling special when someone's pet likes them, especially cats (usually very distant and seemingly unaffectionate) or bunnies (again, easily scared and also distant in their own way) 🥲

(and speaking of this. i keep thinking about an au where. idk how but reader and köni simply go to the same church (possibly with their families) and he sees her as this sweet innocent girl and their families know each other so well and his parents love her but she turns out to be the one who shows him that sex outside of marriage is actually very fun and so is witchcraft lmao 😭 im sorry)

I’m so into the whole bunny thing, esp after what Orla & Syl (@/konigsblog and @/comfortless) just posted…….

I'm 110% sure that König gets both protective and predatory over someone (seemingly) innocent and meek, he's drawn to her like a bee to honey. His mind and soul and hands are so dirty that he seeks redemption through protecting this adorable little woman who reminds him of a helpless pet. He wants to feed and protect and stroke her, make her love him and only him, with her, he becomes the epitome of a pick me boy. He just wants her to be his little bunny girl, let him scratch her from behind the ear or some place else...

And our shy but endearing bunny babe doesn’t dare to tell this big, affectionate giant that he’s trying to make it look like she’s the dumb, clueless one in this scenario when in reality, König is the one who’s on a leash here... Poor guy! With every little wink of her imaginary tail, she gets him to do whatever she wants: manipulating this big dork is laughably easy. Not that she wants him harm, but who wouldn’t want to play cat and mouse with someone who’s basically asking for it? She can provide him the rush of the chase he so seeks, just a small bite of her lip makes this poor man hot and bothered already.

König always apologizes for getting carried away, for being a little too rough with her when he kisses her raw and gets a little handsy. He doesn’t want to seem demanding or coercive: but she’s just so sweet that he can’t take it… He's about to cry and wank and crumble during his pathetic confessions to her, only she can grant him mercy, always being so lenient with his heated advances. He's just a weak man, she's too good for him, bla bla bla – she pets his head while he sighs in her tits, hard again after just cuddling her.

They have to wait until marriage, that's what he always pants when hovering above her, so hard she can feel his whole cock through her dress. She’s going to make a grown man cry soon with those vein-popping boners she gives him, and the hardest part is to stifle her giggles at how easy it is to tease this poor guy... König doesn’t even know that she’s not that innocent, far from a virgin actually with how she’s fantasizing about him every night with her 6” dong with suction cup. One time he almost caught her playing with herself when he came rushing back to her room after forgetting some godforsaken book there...

Twst! Cinderella and her step"loving" family

Yayyy I finally finished this one! After so much time since their dance chibi animation...

Anyway... in my twst! lore Cinderella got a loving family, an overprotective stepfather, two little stepsisters a bit jealous but very supportive if anyone badmouth their step big sister!

Let's go much more deeper...

Actually my lore is based on the novel of the Disney!Villain counterpart (Disney multiverse helloooo).

Cinderella lost her parents ruined by some shady traffic, and before the tragic Trein's wife death, she asked him to adopt the daughter of one of her dear childhood friend.

In memory of his wife he adopted the little girl, but gave her cold treatment as she would be unaffectionate and being also cold toward her new family. But he still cared for her and treats her very well.

Unfortunately since little Cinderella got adopted, the shady person who ruined her parents did the same to her stepfamily (money legacy testament hello!!!). They went bankrupt and outcast quickly and feeling deeply sorry for them and also responsable, Cinderella decided to take care of her step family and their house.

They grew up as a strange but loving family, until Cinderella's fairy godmommy stepped in (fairy being a fairy she was late like...8 years late...), Trein refused to let her stepdaughter with an unknow fairy godmother, and the fairy stated that a grumpy man isolating his daughters is no noo nooooo good either!

Eventually the fairy told them about the ball, the prince and so on, and.....chaos wreck among the house, with fangirls screams and running around the table!

Trein refused to let everyone go to the ball since it's dangerous (also being a bit scarred to finally noticed his daughters all grown up) and threw out the fairy with Lucius help.

But seeing the opportunity to go outside, and gathering infos about the shady persons, Cinderella went to the ball with her fairy godmommy's help and Cinderella's story started.

Noticing Cinderella's missing, Trein and his daughters went to the ball to get her back and she greets them while exciting (her stepsisters being half jealous half happy to have her back// Trein suffocating between their hug crush but happy to got her step daughter back)

Bla bla bla Cinderella Disney!story with the shady persons in jail (epic detective story she got her legacy back and bring back Trein's lost reputation). Unfortunatly Trein rejected his stepdaughter as she left them to got married.... breaking both their heart.... As her stepfather left her without any kind words and Trein not wanted to see his daughters leaving...

They eventually reconciliate later as she gave birth to her first child, and so first Trein's grandchildren.

Been catching up on Frasier; and I've been meaning to drop in here and tell you my thoughts on each episode but I get sucked in and lose track of details because I have to watch more more more but Niles just proposed to Daphne while Frasier was clearing the room and tackling the trumpeter and carrying the chef and what it was SO, SO GOOD. (And Frasier being worried he's one year older because his parents married after his mom got pregnant; and Niles already knowing-- both excellent twists.)

Season 9's really been putting out great, great episodes. ...Y'know what? I'll look up IMDb and put some quick thoughts down here because why not???

Don Juan from Hell part 1 and 2: it's been so long since I've seen these two, but I remember really, really enjoying them.

The First Temptation of Daphne Moon-- an intriguing glimpse into Daphne's insecurities and Niles's staunch ethics. It's good to see how they handle rocky moments in their relationship, too.

The Return of Martin Crane-- LOVED THIS ONE. It's so good, every part. (His memories, and the juxtaposition of Niles-- with more hair-- in the past and Niles in the present; and how miserable they all were then and how happy they all are now; and the kiss at the end. Perfection!)

Love Stinks-- I had fun with this one. (Frasier owning up to his snobbery, lol.) Though I don't know if Roger and Roz will last (well, I know they won't; but I don't know if I truly buy into their relationship.) Poor Roz, she keeps trying.

Room Full of Heroes-- again, Marty's speech at the end grabs me. Marty's my favorite, I must own; and that's been growing as the seasons progress. (Niles is second; and I adore their scenes together.)

Bla-Z-Boy-- the CHAIR being accidentally tossed out the window, WOW. Hilarious. XDDDDDD

The Two Hundredth-- I... feel called out. XDDD But, to be fair, at least I'm an archivist, not a sycophant, by nature. ;)))))

Sharing Kirby-- Tisk Tisk Tisk, those Crane boys always shoot themselves in the foot with their greed. Kirby's sloooooowly growing on me. Kenny keeps sinking in my estimation, though-- his comedy doesn't really hit this season, for me.

Junior Agent-- BEBE!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely killer scene, every single one she's in. And her shark replacement is gonna be fun if the writers use her well (I thought the same of Kenny, at first.)

Bully for Martin-- again, loved this episode. The comedy was top-notch all the way through; and it's good to see Marty back on his feet. (and talking, but not complaining, about the challenges of a new hierarchy.)

Mother Load, Part 1 and 2-- It's fascinating to watch how much Niles has grown, and how his growth then highlights (in a good way) how much Daphne still has to go. It makes both of them human. :DDDDD And I liked how the ep. paused to give each main and side character as much depth as possible.

Juvenilia-- This was actually fun; and I love how Roz was sick and tired of Frasier's preening routine at the beginning. Those kids were sharks, man; but they're gonna get far. Kirby's growing on me.

The Proposal-- sweet all the way through. Marty and Niles were standouts, but I'm biased. ;)))) And Marty's excuse to Daphne's mom, and Daphne arriving sick, and Frasier interfering then saving the day by getting all the staff out, and Niles being interrupted from his question by Daphne honking her nose-- hiiiiiiiiiilarious.

Having so much fun! :DDDDDDDD

So happy you're still having fun watching the show! You still have two seasons to go 😁 season 9 definitely has some great episodes. I must admit though that I find Kirby pretty annoying.

Still, Bla-Z-Boy is super funny and I also really love The Return of Martin Crane. The proposal was so cute! He had planned this huge thing and in the end they didn't need any of it. Great season. Much better than season 8 😅

Previous anon here again, I just wanted to clarify in response to your answer: I totally agree with the over exaggerated edits of supposedly Jungkook being jealous of the members, most of them are bs (maybe except for a very few instances with Namjoon?). I was thinking of a few moments that do seem legit to me and as you said especially the ones with people outside of the band. I was also thinking of the moments with Taemin, though I still wonder if Jungkook was jealous of him or if he just didn’t like him for whatever reason (which is a shame cause I love Taemin!!) I think in the past Jungkook had a tendency of being a bit possessive, which seems quite normal to me, he was really young and probably insecure, it happens. Ha anyway, he has grown a lot though.

Oh for sure JK had a huge issue with Taemin. Huge. Don't people believe the manilla fight may have had something to do with Taemin? My friends i think that Jimin may have had to practise on JK's birthday and the latter wasn't having it. Like its the only thing we can think of because, Jikook were fine during the day celebrating. So what happened overnight so that the next morning at the airport they couldn't even look at or be next to eo?? How can things go wrong in such a short amount of time? Jimin has been there for all of JK's birthdays. But this one night he couldn't so maybe JK felt some type of way?? Who knows. But it make sense. Either way you've seen the way Taemin looks at Jimin. He's definitely been hit by that Jimin effect and JK ain't blind 😂😂

So outside of BTS we have seen Sean Mendez, Taemin, and something was happening with Bogum during this.

My friends and I believe JK watched Jikook compilations and saw himself doing the tongue in cheek thing and decided to rectify 😂😂 but as u can see he did that for the entire Jimin and Bogum interaction and stopped as soon as Jimin was next to him.

Then we also have JB and this has to be my favourite 🤣🤣🤣🤣 JB and Jimin kept looking at eo. Well, tbf, JB was blatantly staring at Jimin and so Jimin kept looking back at him.

But this happened for too long and JK was like

I swear to God this entertains me so much!!! And it happened for quite a while!! Jikookers Classroom always shows the whole picture and doesn't manipulate so check out the whole Kdrama here. And its the way Jimin smirks like....bro what are u doing??? This whole thing is fucking gold!!

Then of course we have Wonho. This one is quite popular but my favourite part has to be when after Jimin admiring Wonho's muscles for most of the night, when they were leaving, JK started to work out his arm with the trophy

He was like "babe see? I'm strong too." 🤭🤭

Last but definitely not least we have this TXT moment.

Its so subtle. A blink and u will miss it type of thing. The guy shakes Jimin's hand once. Okay, thats fine. But when he does it a second time JK taps him like "that's enough son." 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just to name some few none bts moments. But back to RM and Suga. While I understand why JK would be anti Yoonmin, I dont get the Minimoni anti thing. 🤭 A friend told me it could be because JK admires RM so much. He's so smart and bla bla bla. And JK looks up to him. And maybe JK knows he is not like RM so it could stem from that? Idk why the issue because JK is super smart and has a million things going for him. But after being around for a while I found out something interesting about the Korean culture. About how men claim their women and let everyone know that, that woman is his. Apparently when JK got into that nasty scandal with the tattoo artist c*nt, Karmy were telling the boyfriend to claim her?? Or some shit like that? But the guy refused to because they were broken up or something. Apparently it was messed up that JK would hold another man's woman like that. Idk man. I'm not Korean and I don't fully understand it but I know it's a thing. Which explains why JK behaves the way he does. You said, he was possessive coz he was young and insecure. And maybe thats true. But I think there is also the issue of no one knowing they're together. JK would love for the world to know Jimin is "his" but he can't. And so people going around touching and feeling on his man well... I can see why he would have an issue with that. Especially since Jimin gets shipped with pretty much everyone.

Thinking that Sandor & Sansa and Theon & Jeyne are some of my favorite relationships in ASOIAF and maybe it's because they both are built on the same core dynamic of like: this man who was brutalized and dehumanized by the violent system sees this new girl become the next victim; this man thinks they're hopelessly integrated into this system of violence, but ends up finding their humanity through their relationships with this girl.

Ignoring the obvious differences in how these pan out, I'm also thinking that it's interesting that Sandor is integrated into this system as a verily male perpetrator, and Theon as an unmanned victim, and that for Sandor (so far!) this recovery of humanity/identity was disastrous, but for Theon it was glorious...

This is part of the reason why I roll my eyes when I see commentary putting way too much emphasis on Sansa's role as some sort of reminder to Sandor of his sister... It would make sense, it's a good headcanon, will be perfectly sensible if it comes up in the books later -- but in the text we have, it's pretty clear the person Sandor is seeing in Sansa is himself. A hundred posts about how problematic and inappropriate it is for a grown man to have this sort of bond with a young girl bla bla bla whatever, it is what it is, and it's very touching imo. I like that he keeps trying to shift their dynamic into the horror that he learned to be true: he'll be the butcher and she'll be the meat, he'll be the kingsguard and she'll be the kingsbride, he'll be the hunting dog and she'll be the ornamental bird, he'll be the rapist and she'll be the raped, but it just doesn't work. He can't do it to her like it was done to him. He keeps slipping out of cynicism, or letting sincerity bleed through. This happens to Theon on a smaller level because the dynamic he's trying to enforce with Jeyne is essentially different; they're in similar positions as victims and nor perpetrators. Still, be it by masculinity or by emasculation, both Sandor and Theon were made into their owner's dog, then were faced with the victimization of a young girl, and found out that -- to their delight or to their chagrin -- they were still human, after all.

[persephones-journey]

Okay. It’s been 2 days since The Last Kingdom wrapped up with its movie. So, I have had time to ponder, and cry, and think, and be in denial, but I think it’s time I share what that show has done for me and how it may have changed my life.

All right, so picture this, I am scrolling on Tumblr on my desktop bored out of my mind, not writing, in fact I think at this point I hadn’t written anything in months. And then suddenly there’s this gif set.

I can’t tell you which person I follows that posted it but I do remember my first reaction: Is that Francis from Reign?

And I was right. It was a gif set of Aethelflaed and Aethelred’s wedding. I was mildly interested but kept scrolling. And then came another gif set; same wedding but this one had Finan and Aethelwold.

I did not know the characters names then but I did know that 1. Aethelwold called Finan an Irishman and I really do have a soft spot for guys with accents and 2. Finan saying ‘I’ll kill ya in your sleep’ had exactly no business being that sexy.

That gif set made me write down the name of the show ‘The Last Kingdom’ into my notebook of tv shows/crime documentaries to watch.

BUT

I did not watch it until later… You guessed it lockdown from COVID. I had so much time, so I binged the series.

And waited all through season 1 for Finan, he didn’t show and man, not going to lie, Uhtred was not making the best decisions. I almost quit the show… but I had a goal: sexy Irishman.

(I’m halfway joking about that…)

When I did reach season 2 and Finan, I found I had fallen for other characters; Ragnar, Hild, Leofric, Beocca, hell even Alfred was all right. But season 2 also brought Thyra, Sihtric, Gisela, and Osferth.

I loved the whole found family dynamic. And it helped a tiny bit that a lot of the actors were fairly good looking.

But I don’t think I actually fell in love with the show until season 3.

I know, all of you are like ‘we get it. Season 3 Finan was sexy, you have mentioned it before’ and I have. But honestly, look at him:

But it was more than just Finan looking sexy, (all my friends are like ‘you’re lying’) it was the Coccham Squad as a whole. They had grown closer and tighter. The storyline for season 3 was the perfect balance of heartbreak and triumph for me. Finan was a smartass, always saying what I was thinking. Sihtric had his spy moment and fake turn. Osferth was sweet and caring. And Uhtred, surprisingly he had grown as a character, unsurprisingly he was still making stupid decisions.

But this season is my fave for more than that. This season, it got that writing spark going again.

And as I moved onto season 4, that spark became a flame.

So I wrote like 600 pages, no chapter breaks, one doc per season of this idea I had. And I told myself that would be it. I didn’t expect the desire to write to last, and if it did I was a hardcore Supernatural girl. I had stories I needed to finish for that fandom.

Finan though, that sexy Irish bastard would not be denied.

And I found myself rewatching the series… I mean, I started at season 2 the episode where Finan shows up. ( sorry Em)

And I got another idea. And I just decided: Fuck it. And signed up to get an Ao3 account and started writing and posting.

Now, this is the part where I get a little emotional. It was through my fic that I met some of my closest friends. I got an invite to a Discord server and the rest is history.

I have laughed with these awesome peeps, cried with them, celebrated their victories, and shared in their defeats. Spent far too many hours talking about how sexy certain characters are *cough cough* Finan and Sihtric.

I found my own family, you could say.

So, yes, The Last Kingdom is over, there will be no new adventures with Uhtred and his pretty boys.

But I will still have my own adventures with the Bread team. @emilyhufflepufftlk @lauwrite1225 @morosemagick @solinarimoon @blah-blah-blah-bla @muddleofnervouswords @medievalfangirl @cibs @93xdiagonxalley @anotherwinchesterfangirl

And I have Uhtred, Finan, Sihtric, and Osferth to thank for that, along with the many other great characters who made that show so damn compelling.

So thank you to The Last Kingdom for bringing me my people.

Oh, and for dropping this incredibly sexy but so nerdy Scotsman on my radar…. But that’s another post 😉

[nastylouis]

WTF MAN!!!!???? i was deleting saved posts from instagram and i came across one of daniel lissing in a hallmark event or something like that and i just started stalking his insta just to see what he’s been up to yk bc ever since he left i’ve barely watched wcth (literally haven’t watched since 2020 maybe). SO i see that in his feed he had a selfie in his mountie uniform with lori so i thought: oh how cool a tbt! but when i entered OH MY GOD JACKS BACK????? So my brain started to function: the both of them can’t possibly be back in wcth at the same time so what is this so i hit up google and searched daniel lissing, went on to news and quickly found: “'When Hope Calls': Daniel Lissing on His Return as Jack Thornton and Reuniting With Lori Loughlin” AND I SCREAMED. I had literally never watched when hope calls lol. The articles states it’s just one scene etc etc so i go to the ep mentally prepared and I’m like ok it has been what, 3 years since jack died? this should be fine, it shouldn’t hit me hard, besides it’s abigail he’s seeing bla bla bla.

GUYS YOU DONT KNOW HOW MUCH I CRIED I WAS LITERALLY A BABY IT WAS HORRIBLE. THE WAY ABIGAIL WANTED TO SAY SO MUCH BUT DIDNT UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS GOING ONNNNNNN THE WAY AT THE END SHE RAN AFTER HIM TO SAY SOMETHING!!!!!! GUYSSSS I CANT BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW

ps. is this hinting at a possible comeback from lori to wcth???? i would literally watch the monstrosity of seasons i’m missing for that. ALSO IT WAS SOOO NICE TO SEE CODY ALL GROWN UP WTF

[alrightsnaps]

As someone not a huge fan of Edwina, thank you for defending her lol. I am first and foremost a Kate defender/supporter. Do I agree with the way she went about some things? No. But she always put her family first in every scenario. You could see the love she had for Mary and Edwina and their well-being. Them and their love of her? I guess episode 8 showed it?

People need to realize that Edwina is only at fault for her cruelty against Kate and refusing to listen to her. Kate told her multiple times Anthony wouldn’t love her. He humiliated Kate at the races and Edwina didn’t care. She didn’t stick up for Kate or her father and mother after the Sheffields were cruel to them, etc. Anthony made enough “grand gestures” to imply that he had actual feelings for her - or at least what an 18 year old would believe to be love. Anthony. Is. At. Fault. when it comes to Edwina and her confusion.

Also people need to leave CC alone. Like you said, she has a right to ask for more as an actress, they didn’t have to do it. I won’t assume how she felt the direction the plot went, but I did side eye her a smidge during some Twitter debacles but I also kinda chalked it up to her being nervous about her first big role. I’m very glad she is no longer on there because I do not think that would’ve been good for her at all after the season dropped.

exactly, you perfectly summarised my feelings on edwina.

i found her behaviour towards kate to be horrible and that's something that merits criticism and was never addressed in the show. while kate may have made mistakes, her every decision was made with edwina in mind and i never felt like edwina acknowledged or appreciated that, or that she realised or cared about how much she hurt kate.

but yeah, for all anthony stans claim that he was upfront with her from the beginning bla bla bla, i found it perfectly reasonable that a teenager would romanticise his actions? even with kate as the voice of reason (thank god for older sisters) is an 18yo really expected to be on the receiving end of anthony’s speech in episode 2 and not romanticise it? teenagers fantasise for way less. of course what she took away from it was that Unlike Other Gentlemen who woo debutantes with pretty empty words, anthony was an honest and honourable man that may not wax poetry but would be there for her and she could always rely on. i’m not expecting someone that young and inexperienced to have the maturity of a grown woman and see the red flags when she's barely interacted with men in her life!

and yeah i’ve found cc annoying during the s2 promo (kinda felt like she'd built up a romantic version of edwina and anthony's relationship in her head that just wasn't there instead of acknowledging that anthony was an asshole to her character) plus the whole twitter debacle. i won't pretend she hasn't since received hate from the fandom cause she definitely has, but at the time of the whole poster mess kathony stans had absolutely no issue with her and were pretty excited to see her as edwina, which is why all the anger and blame was directed at the production.

but that's neither here nor there when it comes to her wanting more for her character, she was entitled to ask! it was up to the writers to say “yeah this is probably not a good idea but how about we go that direction?”. edwina could've had the same amount of screen time and cc the same amount of promo except it wouldn't be as a plot device that exists to stand between the leads, but as her own character. think anthony in s1. he got plenty of screen time and he was involved in simon and daphne’s story, but his character didn't solely exist to pose an obstacle in their story. he had an arc of his own that existed outside the main romance of the season.

Since I’ve finally had a second to breath from academic prison, I’ve started reading again.

My reason for reading:

1) Reconnect with my middle school self, who was a book worm

2) See how the person I have grown up to be has changed my tastes in books

I started my journey by re reading a book series that I really loved, it’s the Court series by Sarah J Mass.

When I was younger I loved her books, but when I was younger all I wanted to read was fantasy love stories that I could imagine happening to me some day.

So now re visiting the story has a fresh adult who has learned far more about herself, and just doesn’t dig that basic love story stuff, I definitely was “rolling my eyes” at the mate stuff, the over use of sex in situations I would think both parties would not be up for, portraying men has having to have a certain type of body to be considered beautiful, woman be powerful but still being damals in distress… bla bla I could go on

But! That middle school girl is still me and when Rys first showed up I started crying. Either way this book was a copping mechanism for a little girl going through a tough time.

Anyway, where am I now in my book journey? I want fantasy but I want effortlessly inclusive fiction.

I want books that explore the world and feel real. I want people of all backgrounds and I want to feel like the characters could walk off the page.

I also don’t want it too seem like gay characters were added as a second thought for feel fake because the author was trying to be inclusive.

In my search for such a book I wound up at my local library, looking through the long wall of fiction, only to find they but a little gay flag sticker on books that have gay themes. And when I realized this there were only two books that seemed to exist I started to sigh..

But not hopeless yet I came across a book called FishBowl by Bradley Somer. First the book cover struck me, and it wasn’t fantasy but I thought I may give it a try since what else was I gonna do?

Ima go into detail about some characters I really love, just know if you want some people who are effortlessly themselves and happen to be gay along the way read it, was such a breath of fresh of air in a work that sucks

spoilers ——

Garth Garth Garth Garth 🥹

I can’t tell you enough when I say I have loved a character so much. Normally a character has to have something in common with myself or someone I care about for me to be invested in them

But this character could not be further from me haha

We are introduced to him by the perceptive of another character, and we seem him as a big “scary” construction worker man who the character bumps into

This introduction makes me over look him, because why would there be anything special in him

Then we finally get to see from his perspective, but it’s him talking about a woman who walks past the construction sight with his co worker, and has he looks at her walk it describes how the dress she wears moves with the stretch and twist of her body

In my mind I say gross, I hate men who say they appreciate the beauty of feminine things but really they mean the sexual side of feminine thing 🤮

However as a reader we start to invest in him more when he goes to pick up a package that is hidden from us

We don’t know where it’s from what it could be, all we know is it’s in a small box and he goes through the back to pick it up to suggest he keeps this part of himself quiet, secret, and untouched

At this point I’m curious but still not in love with this character, and technically the rest of his time in the novel doesn’t mean much but this is where I will introduce the super of the apartment building..

He works night and day talking care or the building who feels unnoticed for his efforts by the people who live in the building, he is a hopeless romantic and feels like he can’t be romantic because age or it hasn’t been the chance

He has a moment in the book where he describes how English stifles his romantic flare, that he sounds so undeveloped, rough in English and if someone could hear him in Spanish they would see how smooth and beautiful he can be, which is heartbreaking

I myself feel like an idiot when I try and communicate in the language I’m trying to learn so I can kind of understand but it felt real to hear him think that about himself

Anyway we learn that he loves old romantic movies and songs, he loves dancing and particularly loves the elegant feminine style of clothes

He gets all dazzled up so that when he is down with his last service request he can give himself a night on the town, so he approached the last apartment that is just a leaky sink and he thinks back to an actress who he said had such beautiful ankles (weird it will make sense later)

Now I’m switching back to Garth, he enters his Apartment that he recognizes the faucet is still leaking

Rushed into his room to open his box, and he starts to describe that the shop he frequents is a dress shop who has a special custom seamstress who knows how to make dress that fit him perfectly

He recounts how his body is so masculine, hairy, large, not feminine at all.. he goes on to describe how he is a lover of the art of femininity and when he sees women in dress he wishes to embody that type of beauty as well

In the box is a custom dress and strapy heels, and he comments that his toes are so ugly but his ankles.. his ankles are his best attribute 😩

Are you guys seeing what’s happening here, two people who aren’t even remotely connected, have never even said they were outright fruity

Just lover of romance, of beauty come together in an unlikely place both respecting each others meaning and appreciating there stepping out of their comfort zone

There’s more to the story, the whole book is good but these characters.. THESE CHARACTERS made me giggle squeal and dance

And it was so special because i didn’t get to see there after story, I get to imagine the drive in movie theater dates, the super learning to cook meals for his beauty while the beauty learns to dance with him ✨

Anyway to many more beautiful love stories that don’t fit the binary and are just so much more beautiful for that reason alone

Cheers 🥂 to love found in unlikely places and people being there authentic selfs!

I genuinely hope that Jude will get that shoulder surgery and get to recover properly so his health won’t deteriorate and i also PRAY that we won’t get to see any of his hoe activities cause boy I’m sick of seeing people doing the most and also using his name non stop . I know that he’s a grown man and bla bla bla but still

I hope he crashes out in ibiza (im here now) if he’s not getting that shoulder surgery 😭 but yeah some of his fans baby him too much sometimes

So I had a durge.

And so here I am now. Explaining my silly little fantasy world.

I have been working my ass off writing this thing and I'm really proud of it:3 imma explain/summarize every book/story for the people that will listen:D

Here's a little backstory because it's very important (I'll make a character post separately)

This entire story line thing was inspired by a school I went to and it kinda started the entire thing. It was a religious school that fucked me up frfr so I decided to cope by making a silly thing out of it:3 The world is in the year 3000 and is ruled by one family of rich people (eat the rich) who had a son who was said to inherit the rule. But they found out that he was gay so, being rich people, They made an entire school for people like him So that they can fix him and the other people. (This kids name is Maxwell btw)

1st book

(Gothic horror/magic/murder mystery/twisted romance??)

The story starts out with the mc Canine by explaining how he was going down the wrong path (addiction n shit like that) after his younger sister canceled her subscription to life. During this time his father who was a minister at the local church sent him and his brother off to a boarding school full of people like them. This is where the found family dynamic starts to come in but soon, people start to go missing and ominous letters from the outside start to come in. It's up to the people remaining to find out what's going on before no one is left to find out.

2nd book

(anarchy/gay/dystopian/magic)

Canine and Maxwell but they are all grown up and Maxwell has the throne now. Canine is Maxwell's right hand man and closest friend. But, Canine is living a double life as he is a part of a anti-dictater organization under the wing of Maxwell's sister, Maxine. This organization is regarded as terrorists to the public due to their attempts to assassinate Maxwell. Canine is also dealing with not remembering his past due to a chip implanted in his brain by Maxwell's family. The organization has a goal to dismantle the society that they reside in, so, they hatch a plan that takes months to perform. One thing after another, it's all in ruin. Canine is left with deathly wounds and nowhere to go but the forest miles and miles away.

3rd book

(mystery/gay/run away/suspense/supernatural/magic)

Canine wakes up in a medical tent with a familiar face treating his wounds. He can't exactly explain to himself where the face is from. But the face helps him to heal and get back into society step by step. But this person has a dark life, living with their abusive partner. Canine wants to help them get away so after a brutal fight they run away together. But their partner runs the city and wants them to come back, so they send out hitmen and PIs to track them down. Bla bla bla the chip from 2nd book is removed and he remembers who the face is, and omg, it's his lover from 1st book (his name is Lyrus). Canine uses his past to aid in the take down of Lyrus's partner.

4th book

(gay/recovery/supernatural/magic/tbd)

After the take down of Lyrus's partner, Canine and him start recovering from their previous trauma with therapy and whatnot. At the same time, they start dating and making friends. One of these friends (she's from 3rd book and she has a pet raccoon:D) is a journalist that is struggling to find stories so she reached out to Canine and Lyrus to help. They become amateur detectives and they start busting crime rings. But this reminds Canine of his past, which permits him to visit the ruins of his old home. Lyrus follows him and finds out what he did. Soon after this, the people left in the ruins want revenge and raid the new place.

Now, a good writer never spoils the ending;3 But I will tell you that there is two endings:D!!

I got lazy

[condemning-twitter]

First of all, and to get things straight: I am a biological woman, identifying as a woman and also identifying as a feminist. That being said, let's break this dumpster fire down.

What can be observed in this reblog chain is a bunch of self-identifying feminists (including radfems) stopping by the Tumblr post of a MINOR. Based on Tumblr guidelines, said minor might be as young as 13 years old and based on his own post, identifies as male. Furthermore, he is outspokenly leftist (statistically speaking, he is unlikely to have the mind of a misogynist). All of these can be found out by taking so much as five minutes out of your day to do some research rather than making snarky comments.

In his original post, OP expresses his concerns about the feminist movement and points out that man-hatred is actually counter-productive to a healthy pro women movement; And THAT is a legitimate concern and widely known issue.

While OP's message uses rough wording (to the point of other users framing his words as though he implied that the only natural response to unfair treatment is to exact unfair treatment on others) the core meaning holds true. Young children are IMPRESSIONABLE, in case you have ever wondered why young girls are so susceptible to grooming. Young boys are not deriving their behaviors from the void; they are being taught by someone. Who is that someone? Well, it depends on which group the boy in question feels most at home in.

Which one would you pick? The group that has piled or would be willing to pile roughly 100 hate reblogs on you for saying a slightly wrong thing or the group that is telling you that the other group is inherently stupid? One is invalidating you and offering an unsafe, unpredictable environment. The other is offering a validating and safe, predictable environment.

Teens are on a search for identity and connection. This usually causes them to search and find labels and groups to identify their own person by. Perhaps it doesn't ring any bells but "The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth" and this applies here as well. The group that doesn't accept you is the enemy by default. This is why misogynists WANT boys to believe that feminists are anti male or male sexists; if one group is alienating you, you are left with the groups that don't. Preferably, you will then seek out a group that validates your (perceived) experiences of alienization. And that is the first step. The rest is a pipeline. Once you have identified with a group, your mind is fertile ground for their rhetoric.

You think being mistreated is no justification for being a horrible person? Neither do I! And neither did OP. The problem is that there's a certain cause and effect at play that's driving men away from us and to misogynists like Trump and Tate. Not exclusively, but it sure fucking helps. And considering your reaction, all of you either seem oblivious to that fact or too self-absorbed in your frustrations to care.

"If mean words are turning you into Hitler 2 bla bla" rich words considering there are likely dozens of grown-ass adults piling on a minor on this post and none of them have been called out yet. But no. Bad experiences don't justify bad behavior. Surely.

Even if the alienization is only perceived, it can- Oh wait. It is not actually just perceived, is it? Responses are ranging from "we had it worse and are justified in our anger; you are not" to hopefully sarcastic "men don't even deserve to exist" statements that cannot even be read as sarcastic because everything sounds the same on the internet.

Anyway, even perceived alienization can change a person's political affiliation for the worse. No, this cannot always be prevented. You are not being asked to pander to anybody - you are being asked not to offer young boys to self-proclaimed "alpha men" on a silver platter.

I hate to tell you (actually, no I don't), but we are living in a society comprised of both women and men. Feminism is a joint effort and not a game of Trauma Olympics like what you guys are trying to pull.

Hating on men and claiming masculinity is evil is going to have the complete opposite effect as to what you intended.

Let me set the scene, there's a freshly 13 year old boy, he's been told his whole life that boys don't cry, boys aren't allowed to have feelings. He gets internet access, and what SHOULD be happening is that people tell him that's all wrong and of course boys should have emotions, but that doesn't happen. Instead what happens is he gets met with dozens upon dozens of people claiming men DON'T have emotions. This boy tries to fight back, he replies to a post and he says that it's not true, boys aren't evil and they can be sad and hurt sometimes. What happens? People bully him. They laugh at him for being sad, say he deserves it. They tell him all men are horrible and he's destined to be evil.

What do you think happens? Do you think he's going to put in the effort to be a good guy? Fuck no. He's going to assume that's his fate and be shitty, because he was never met with kindness and understanding, he was told his kind is automatically evil.

don't hit me / Maverick

˚♡⋆｡ pairing: maverick x reader

˚♡⋆｡warnings: age gap, creepy guy, mentions of harrasment.

˚♡⋆｡summary: you and mav are out on a casual night at the bar, and while you consider acting on your feelings, the presence of a creepy random man interferes and throws you off, so maverick comes with a plan to scare him away you couldn't resist. 1.0k

i made this based on the scene in mission impossible 4 :D

going feral for this man

You and mav had a weird relationship dynamic, most of the time it was friendly, at least 95% of the time, but the remaining 5% was somewhere… flirty, back and forth, it happens every so often and if you didn’t pay enough attention you may even missed it, he was so subtle and smooth with the little things and details, like brushing your hands together or moving his seat closer to yours, paying attention to the silly stories you tell him and laughing at every joke, those things that made your heart sink inside your chest. Over time you’ve had grown more conscious of this, and it only got better, he felt like the kind of person you could talk about anything with, and you were always around a sense of comfort whenever he was in the room, of course the were minor details in between you two, a little bit of an age gap, and the ranks and bla bla, minor details, but also major enough to not let you act on your feelings.

and just like the other nights this one was not different, everybody else had already headed back home and you two were left sitting on the bar, each with a drink almost forgotten sitting at the counter, seemed like it was too early to call it a night yet, and the conversation between you two went as fluent as usual, so why not continue a little longer? His company was enough reason for you to stay.

well...except, they might be something different about tonight, there was this guy, sitting at the opposite side of the bar in a little table for two, you’ve seen him around earlier back when everyone was here, just that he was sitting in a far away table near the entrance, nothing seemed off at first, he was just some random guy enjoying his evening, or so you thought, but the constant feeling of his eyes on you across the room was weirding you out, even more when you catch him by the corner of your eye getting up from his table, with a beer in his hand, leaving it on the counter as he now sat across you on the other side of the counter. Mav seemed to notice your discomfort as he followed your eyes and landed them on the man’s figure, quickly catching his intentions, staring for a few extra seconds directly into his eyes so he knows you’re not to be messed and better left alone if he didn’t wanna end his night with a bruised eye.

he tried to distract you out off it with some chat, and it was really working, Mav was taking a quick sip of his drink as he listened to the story of something that took place once during your training days, “and then Phoenix slammed the cake right on Hangman’s head, it was hilarious you’ve should've seen his face” you laughed at the same time you softly swifted mav’s arm making him giggle, “we all called him cakeman for a week” what a great memory, a sincere smile appeared on your face at the sight of Maverick’s small laugh.

he gently placed his hand on the counter as he squinted his eyes while finishing his chuckle, leaving it centimeters away from yours, if you just moved your hand a little bit you could reach him, your fingers tingling at the eagerness to make a move, but soon enough your thoughts were interrupted when your ears catched the sound of a bottle being settle a little to hard against the wood, your head moved following the noise, the guy from before had left his seat and was now standing not taking his eyes from your body, going up and down, a feeling of disgust came down your throat. He started his pace slowly, walking over to some empty boots on his right centered at the middle of the bar, and he sat down again, detail to mention he was now closer to you.

a subtle touch on your inmovile hand against the counter made you jump a bit in your seat, returning your attention to the man in front of you, his face showed somewhere in between worry and calm at the same time, he leaned closer and whispered not far from your face “don’t hit me” but before you could ask he carefully grabbed your cheeks to pull you in for a light kiss, and pressing again for another one, slowly opening his mouth and yours in the process, softly moving his lips on yours, leaving a trace of sweet scent over, your lips responded almost automatically, like you knew the path by heart, delicately pulling your hands up into his neck, pulling him closer while he breathed into the kiss. And when he pulled apart and you lost contact of him, it took you a second to re-open your eyes to face him, incredulous of what just happened, Mav’s eyes lingered to yours and for a fraction of a second they moved to somewhere behind you, but quickly came back to you, “he’s gone” you were about to ask who, submerged enough into the moment to forget about the creepy guy, but then it clicked, as you moved your head to catch his figure exiting the door, your voice trembled a little bit when you tried to speak “that’s good” murmured and nodded a couple of times, and he mimicked your action “yeah” mav breathed out “yeah” you repeated, voice getting lower, “yeah” he whispered again, with his dense breathing, his gorgeous doe green eyes were fully staring at nothing but you, up to your eyes and down to your lips a few times, licking his own in the action, seemed like you both had the same idea because in no time the two of you were almost jumping at each other again, one hand on his neck and the other one grabbing a handful of his jacket, while he placed bot his hands on the sides of your face, this kiss was a littler faster but just as amazing as the first one, so fuck the friendship, fuck the age gap, fuck the ranks, fuck everything, the feeling of his lips on yours was all you needed, and now you were sure you wanted to this again, again and again.
