#anon my little mouse

[strawberry-jackalope]

🆘 okok last update for a little bit i don’t want to flood your ask, but we exchanged numbers and then i asked a risky question (spurred on by a recent near death experience tbh that’s made me ballsy): what did you think of me when we were kids?

he hasnt replied yet though so my anxiety is eating me alive 🥴 i’ll update when he does reply though because i’m scared

hey, the first move is super scary! but you did it!! that's awesome and I'm glad you did it

there's a hundred reasons he may not reply, including not knowing how to answer, or trying to read into it and being confused. If it gets to a point you're really worried, you can always shoot another message, saying you didn't mean to be awkward and were just curious- or even admit your feelings. Sometimes people don't want to make the wrong assumption and move, so we get left holding the bag

hope the updates are good, or they don't super suck

kenjaku’s old ass finds out about bingo one day and falls in LOVE with it. drags you to bingo nights where there’s a bunch of senior citizens and is so serious about winning and is locked in the entire time. he is a bingo fiend, never misses a week and probably side eyes a 95 year old grandma with a cane after she wins the round.

i am a bingo fiend kenjaku believer ‼️🐑 (also side note i’ve been planning to watch oshi no ko! it’s on my list <3 so tysm for reminding me to watch it)

LAMBNON. YOU’RE AN ACTUAL GENIUS. I’M REALLY NOT KIDDING THIS IS SOOOOO 😭😭

canon. to Me. KENNY LOVES BINGO ‼️‼️ has beef with everyone at the retirement home he frequents… pretends to be a friendly monk there to ’bring hope to the elderly’ (tells them you’re his apprentice and you give him the meanest side eye of the century) but he’s really just there for the bingo . for sure tries to rope you into it too but will be a sore loser if you happen to win so proceed with caution lmao……

kenny just loves games in general :3c you guys have fun little game nights every other day or so. they’re not actually all that fun, kenny gets way too into it, but still!!! bonding moment <3

(and ahhhh, i’m so excited for you!!!!! 🥹 it’s really such a great show, pleeeaseee let me know whenever you check it out <3333)

As a queer servicemember who did serve during dadt that got out the year before it was repealed - FUCK DADT, it ruined lives and fuck the fact that it took so long for our military members to get their dishonorables changed and the fact that they left homosexuality on the new dd214s so former service members still had it follow them.

As someone who has never served myself and only has internet research and old Navy stories from my grandfather and cousin and one former coworker who was briefly in the army to go by, and every single one of them is cishet, I appreciate your input immensely. and, quieter, thank you for this, specifically, because this is exactly my point, I just don't have all the exacts to back it up like this. I've been doing my best to not rant about it and start things because it's about a fictional character it isn't that deep but also... considering how many people it affected in real life, yes it is.

I can't tell if you're yelling at me, specifically, or just using the anon function in my inbox to protect yourself from the fandom having different opinions (I get that, zero judgement whatsoever, I've been doing that a lot the last ~week just so I can have my opinion out there and avoid the backlash that comes with that and protect my sanity), but I'm going to put my own thoughts here, too, either way, because I feel like we're on the same page?

I know that using DADT seems like an easy out for speedrunning Tommy's timeline and making him younger than he would logically be to fit Lou's age (45 isn't old and 45 doesn't "look" all that different from 39 unless you're being ageist but whatever), but it's really not. There are so many complications that come with it - such as a dishonorable discharge.

Someone reblogged one of my posts earlier this week (the same person my vague post was about today, and I'll keep it vague I'm not here to call people out directly this is my blog and I'm going to put my opinion on it, no one should go harassing this person about any of it because it's fictional characters, they're allowed to have different opinions and headcanons about things), with a comment about how the LAFD (and PD? it's less relevant and I don't want to scroll back in their blog or my notifs for something minor like that) was hiring people regardless of sexuality in the 90s. Good for them! That doesn't change the dishonorable discharge tho!

Like... please correct me if I'm wrong, because again, I have no personal experience with any of this, just too much time on my hands and too many military blorbos, but when a dishonorable discharge shows up on someone's record, it doesn't necessarily say why it's there. It doesn't say if it's related to DADT or some other incident in the field or whatever it is. So yes, while the LAFD might have been hiring queer people far sooner than that, they still aren't going to look at a guy who has a (recent!) dishonorable discharge and say "yeah, we're going to put him through our training, which costs taxpayers x amount of money, and then hire him and pay him to have someone's life and death in his hands."

DADT and all the discharges that came from it completely ruined lives and made going on with any kind of career, especially something for the government even on the level of firefighting or police work, all but impossible. It's not an easy out to make Tommy the same age as Lou. It's actually completely nonsensical because he never would have been allowed to even get within 100ft of the fire academy, let alone be a senior member of a firehouse in 2009 when Hen joined the 1118.

There is a reason it's called a dishonorable discharge, and it would have completely ruined his life, no matter what the reason was for it.

(also, re: the game I play with Kit and Cass, the complaint this morning puts Tommy's age at 55 💛)

GOD THE WAY THAT YOU WRITE SPENCER IS FUCKING FASCINATING AND SO TRUE TO WHO HE IS! CANNOT WAIT FOR MORE OF THE CAN-YOU UNIVERSE 😭🫶🏻😭🫶🏻

is this….a marriage proposal?? bc i accept???

no but ACTUALLY i could wax poetic about this guy for hours bc what is a random guy from a procedural copaganda drama written for middle aged women doing with all that character development???? there is so much MEAT in the writing of this show, esp in the early seasons, i am genuinely distraught that i was seven years old when it started and it took me this long to truly find it……

What do you think of a storyline about the ghost of Scar possessing the other characters?

There's something you have to know about me: I love ghost stuff. Those TV shows where people would explore haunted buildings were my jam as a kid. One of my favourite fanfics ever is a love story between a person and the 'ghost' haunting their apartment. A canon-divergent character I write elsewhere is quite literally a ghost trapped in a corpse that doesn't belong to him. Even the premise of this blog was based on him being dead first, before I realised that people also wanted to interact with a living lion.

However... I don't think the theme of possession would work particularly well in an rp setting. For one, it would take a lot of co-operation between two muns to make sure things are aligned and it isn't just an excuse for the other person to write their character in a particular way. It would also work best as a long-term plot or event and... Those are really hard to organise and manage, between me being a timezone outlier to a lot of my writing partners and me having a fairly unreliable writing schedule.

Plus, I don't really think it would be Scar's scene, you know? Any time he has appeared as a ghost in a canon setting, he's been able to instil fear simply by being himself. He didn't need to puppeteer others to get desired effects. (Mind you... He was trapped in a small gargoyle statue in a thread back in the day, and that was pretty funny.)

I feel like you being a middle child (and also short) might have something to do with your fondness of (formerly very short) middle child Jason Todd. It also explains why you have very accurate sibling dynamics in your batfam comics

Your really just trying to call me out today arnt you, funny thing is tho I also have a step brother who's just a tiny bit younger then me and he reminds me a lot of Tim

For the confession post:

I fell in love with my best friend last year. They've been dating their girlfriend since early 2020—I actually introduced them!

And while I know it's not going to happen and I don't treat them differently, it sometimes feels like they know how I feel and they close themselves off from me now and then in a way that feels defensive.

I just wish there was a way to say "hey, we're both adults, and my feelings are my problem and I'm not going to make it something you have to worry about, so please don't sabotage our friendship" without making things awkward.

this is a hard position to be in. Without knowing more, I can't say if they're treating you differently, but it might be happening. Maybe you're unintentionally sending signals, maybe they just don't want you to be a third wheel and it just feels defensive bc everyone communicates weird or slightly wrong.

But you're in a mature place, you acknowledge it's your thing to sort out and not theirs. And it might be awkward, but the best thing to do might be to just say that, you still value the friendship and don't want to damage it, and offer them the chance to reciprocate.

and tbh the pandemic and the last few years have been real weird for everyone. maybe there's nothing there, we just all forgot how to communicate and socialize like rational creatures.

wishing you the best

If you were magically turned into an inanimate object then what would you be?

[littlekingbergara]

Is it your favorite shirt or do you just like that Ryan is apparently incapable of buttoning it more than half way 🤔

LISTEN... two things can be true at the same time okay 😭 i can't help it if the only times i've seen it it's been halfway open!!

[hysterotic]

What was the problem of this team?

Sammy? Auston? Me? (I didn't watch last two games and they won 🙄) Or all of it?

i think goaltending has helped but i think a lot of it is down to them simplifying their games & making it easier on themselves. they’re winning games whilst having the worst powerplay ever in the history of the world (dont fact check this) so i think they deserve a ton of credit for finding a way to win where their #skill is not the main focal point. i don’t think this br*ins team is particularly good either (not taking away from the leafs), i just think they were masked by goaltending

[tortoisebore]

heyy i was going through the asks and i saw a pic of your cat and he/she is lovelyyyy 🤍🤍 but i saw them wearing a collar with a bell hanging and i don't know if you know this but bells are really bad for their hearing and it decreases their special hearing abilities over time so it would be better if you took it off the collar

(sorry if this comes off as rude but i love cats and i want them to live their best lives always)

hi hi!! i love my kitty so so much she’s so evil and sweet and naughty and conniving and soft she’s like if a cloud had a pink nose and was also a teeny tiny gremlin 💘🤩🥰💖😭💕💞

about her bell: i did a bunch of research on collars and bells and name tags when i adopted her and made sure to get her a quick-release collar with a lower pitched bell (i find the high pitched/kitten ones so annoying lololol) that makes more of a plasticky sound than a metallic one. it’s also not very sensitive, so it doesn’t jingle every time she moves. like right now she’s sitting here next to me having a nice bath and her bell isn’t making any noise at all!

she lives exclusively indoors, so the bell won’t interfere with her hunting/surviving outside, and she doesn’t have trouble with anxiety or sensitivity issues that might make the bell uncomfortable for her. she does however do a lot of hiding and snooping and getting into things she’s not supposed to (re: she’s naughty & conniving), so the bell helps me figure out where she is in my apartment and makes sure i can find her when she’s creeping around and getting into trouble. it also makes me feel better to know that i could find her quickly if something like a fire alarm goes off or a pipe bursts in the building (this happens often in the winter where i live, it’s super annoying) and i could get her out of here fast if i needed to.

i love my cat so so much & i promise she has a wonderful life! she gets a ton of attention and treats and loads of playtime, she has lots of warm, sunny nap spots and more toys and puzzles and cozy places to sleep than she could ever want! she’s basically my evil little child (my mom calls her her granddaughter 😭) and i take her well-being very seriously, and i hope u know i’m not just brushing off your concerns 🫶 i just feel confident in the decisions i’ve made for her. thank u for bringing it up, and i’ll be on the lookout for any signs that she’s becoming uncomfortable or that her health is being impacted 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

(pic to round it all out bc she’s the cutest thing i’ve ever seen)

Hmm, I'll answer these in order (aren't I the one who is supposed to be doing the asking?)

Yours? Yes, mine, you said I'm your special anon so you're mine now. My pretty little mouse~

As for why I send asks this late, it's because I've noticed that you're online at this time, and I happen to be awake now as well, so it works out!

I could send them at a different time easily enough, would in about 10 hours from now work for you my dear? If it does you can consider it a date~

I think I'll contact you through a proper blog later though, don't want to give up the game too fast now ;)

- Valentine

You have got to stop with these little names, I SWEAR- 😭😭😭

I really should be going to bed earlier than this so XDDD yeahhhhh better to wait until daytime. I'm actually checking tumblr through the day much more often than it may seem to you

A date 😭😭😭

LATER? Yeah I guess you were always gonna do whatever you want, siiigghhhh

"Give up the game" yeah you're having fun with your little game, aren't you

Imagine me aggressively squinting at you LOL
