HIHIII <33 HRUUUU i’m back again, god these assignments r so tiring, BUT ANYWHO! did u see the new blue lock episode w shidou?? lately i’ve been thinking of him being a papa as well.. how would he be like? :00

— 🫖

hello darling<33 i hope you're taking care of yourself while working on those assignments! and omg no i haven't seen the episode yet i'm so behind on blue lock now after i picked up one piece and got obsessed with it 😭 but i have seen screenshots and oh my godd he is soo hot he makes me so feel all hot nervy<333

shidou is so competitive as a papa he's so ridiculous about it! you both would have a baby girl, and he's always turning everything into a contest. says things like “oh she likes it better when i feed her” “she likes the songs i sing more than yours” “hey hey tucking her in is MY job!!” then he'll get grumpy when she wakes up crying in the middle of the night. “see? you didn't give the lil thing enough fuckin' kisses when you should've, and now she's waking up the entire neighborhood.”

like. okay then 🙄 it makes him a very good papa tho<3

shidou also loooves carrying his little baby girl around. it's a comfort to him when his sweet lil child is safely in his arms, though he'll never admit that. whenever he's at home he's got his baby in his arms, and he talks to her like she's his best friend. like she understands everything he says.

and he doesn't hold back he'll cuss and shit talk and just tell her whatever's on his mind 💀 “today was fuckin’ awful, princess.” is the first thing he says when he walks into the house, and you think he's talking to you and you open your mouth to ask him what's wrong, only for him to walk past you and head to your daughter that's sitting in her feeding chair, waiting for you to fix her formula.

he unbuckles her and picks her up, carrying her upstairs to the bedroom with him while still talking to her like “can you believe what they did to daddy? daddy had a little fall, alright? tripped and fell cause his stupid damn teammates don't fuckin’ move outta the way. and the coach benched me! somethin’ about my leg — which is fine, as you can see �� needing a break or whatnot. fuckin’ stupid. brain-dead fucking coach. can you believe it?”

and your baby's laughing, hopefully not picking up any of his foul language, slapping his shoulder and he just laughs along and thanks her for “getting the right idea” or whatever it's so hilarious and you shouldn't be condoning it but it's just too cute 😭

Steve Has Older Siblings AU: Robin Edition

In an ideal world, Steve’s family life is completely separate from everything important. But in an ideal world, monsters don’t exist so, you know.

1. Technically the first of Steve’s siblings that Robin meets is Jason because he came into Scoops Ahoy to be an asshole. Robin liked to see King Steve knocked down a peg or two more than the next person but not by a forty year old (he’s 32) loser who has nothing better to do on a Tuesday afternoon. Robin sees him knock Steve’s hat off his head and then informs him that they had a zero tolerance harassment policy (they don’t) and they can and are denying him service. “So leave, now.”

2. The first time she is aware that she’s meeting one of Steve’s siblings is after Starcourt burns down. They were drugged, tired, and Russians took Steve’s car keys so it felt like a good idea to just lay back on the hood of the Beemer and watch the smoke swirl in the air until they come up with what to do.

They never think of anything, and she is startled awake the next morning hungover and dehydrated by someone laying on their horn. Robin looks at the car and then at Steve, and then asks, “Is that your dad?”

Steve - looking somehow worse than yesterday - just blinks in the direction of the car like, “Richie?”

“Get in the car,” Richie practically seethes, barely lets them get in before he starts asking questions like, what the fuck and are you high, right now?”

“I don’t dooo drugs, Dad,” Steve spat out annoyed and Robin, in the backseat, felt compelled to adds, “Drugs do me.”

They both start giggling and can’t stop even when Richie tries to lecture them.

3. Robin meets Jason again when he attacks her.

She doesn’t remember much about the car ride back to Loch Nora or how Steve convinced Richie not to take them to the hospital, but she remembers flopping face first onto Steve’s cloud of a bed. She remembers him taking her shoes off for her and pulling the covers up.

Then she is rudely woken up by a hand yanking her out of bed and big arms wrapping around her head. They’re barely there before Steve is shoving them off her like, “Fuck off, Jason.”

“Carver?” She asks but, no. It’s the dick from the mall. She is ignored while Jason prattles on about how it’s not his fault that Steve looks so much like a girl that he confused him with one. Then he’s whistling about how Steve has a girl in his bed and how surprising that is to them considering they all thought he was a queer.

Robin stiffens beside him. New queer ally, Steve Harrington, not wanting her to be uncomfortable, blurts out, “What if I am?”

And the room goes quiet. Steve’s quiet. Jason’s frozen. Richie, coming in through the door, wasn’t moving. This family doesn’t really paint a picture of unconditional love and acceptance so Robin throws her entire (unsuccessful) theater career into use and slugs Steve in the arm with a snort like, “Yeah, right. With all the girls you flirt with? Ha!”

And everything comes back to life. The hospital conversation comes up and morphs into an argument immediately. Robin is just happy to fade into the background and observe.

4. Robin probably should’ve met Claire that day too but the hospital was an apparent disaster. She actually meets Claire randomly at Family Video.

She sees a woman who’s kinda cute come in and peruse the shelves. She comes to the counter where Robin is on register and Steve is stocking candy right next to her.

She’s carrying The Muppet Movie and makes small talk about watching it with her kids, and never looks twice in Steve’s directly. She’s not in the system and just laughs, “It’s probably under my maiden name, Harrington.”

Robin gives her a tight smile and finishes the transaction. Claire leaves with barely a ‘bye’ to her brother and Robin decides right there that she hates them all.

LEOJAMI DETECTIVE AU

Oh whut I mustered up the strength to doodle for this oh my gooooosh. :O But yes, like I said earlier I have this whole twst magical detective/law type AU swimming in my brains and I need to let it out real quick. I'll go for bulletpoints since I think that would be the easiest to write out my thoughts without going on and on xD

Everyone would be like mid to late 20's adults here. I would say Jamil is 24, so following everyone's canonical age ranges Leona would be 27.

This would be a drama-comedy so the tone would fluctuate but when it's serious it's serious when it's not it's funny. uwu

I just totally imagine a scene where they're chasing a perpetrator through a fucking McDonalds and they climb into the kids play tubes to give chase and Jamil just flies in all nimbly and Leona tries it and gets his ass legit stuck while 3 year olds are fucking laughing at him.

On the opposite tone, in this world UM's are classified by how powerful and dangerous they are to the public...so it's mandatory for mages with high threat UM's to work in magical law enforcement. Punishment is basically they hand you over to STYX forever so uh...ruh-oh.

So Jamil is actually wearing glasses preventing him from using his UM. He has to take them off to use them. Leona is supposed to be wearing gloves but like come on it's Leona lmao he do what he want.

A lot of backstory elements will be somewhat the same, like Leona being a prince and Jamil being the property of the Al-Asim's but just like different. Night Raven College did not happen.

So basically Leona and Jamil were born and raised in their respective countries. Leona chose to leave home to come to Sage Island to work for their magical police force because he surely wasn't gonna stay with his brother and nephew. Jamil was transferred to Sage Island by his previous boss, Police Chief Al-Asim...because he had served his purpose in making his son a decent enough detective.

Sage Island's magical police force is...honestly the TRENCHES. All the weird and horrible things happen there magically and it's truly not for the faint of heart to work so close with high risk cases that occur there.

Basically you get sent to work there as a mage if someone is purposely trying to get rid of you...or you are really seeking them thrills.

Yes, Crowley is the guy in charge here so you know you're in the trenches. He still takes like 48 vacations a calendar year.

Jamil and Leona get partnered up and it's basically just Leona being grumpy old and jaded while Jamil is trying to prove himself to the max and thinks he knows it all. But they eventually come to an understanding and find a mutual respect for one another.

As soon as that happens Leona is basically like "you wanna sleep with me, Jamil. I know you dooo...i know you doooooooooo"

Jamil is in denial rewatches that "YOU BETTER NOT BANG YOUR COWORKERS" tiktok over and over and over...

He wakes up in Leona's bed anyway.

Jamil is thriving in the thrill and danger of the job that keeps his mind and body sharp and feeling some sense of freedom.

Leona finally feels a deep connection with someone again who he can be on the same level with and finds some purpose to wake up in the mornings.

Jamil and Leona are fucking happy with their second place lives because they have each other in it...in the good and the bad. The highs and the lows. They're there for each other.

They are both just as equally horrified about the fact they're falling in love and being all vulnerable and mushy with one another and actually enjoying life.

Seriously they are waiting for life to realize they're so happy and destroy their happiness as it always does.

Oh and the major bad guy is gonna be a TWST OF CLAYTON FROM TARZAN.

I have always wanted to twst him as an antag but it never felt right for him to be a student but an actual threat like Rollo or Fellow.

That's what I have so far uwu <3

[certifiedsexed]

this is such a weird submission and apologies if this isn't the place to ask as it's only tangentially sex related but here goes

So I'm a vulva haver and I've found that the skin of my prepuce/mons pubis kind of.. tears? Around the time of my period and I get a lot more discharge than usual when it happens. It's really uncomfortable and low-key itchy and it never really fully heals bc it's just such an awkward area. It doesn't tear so much it bleeds but it's sorta like the upper layers of skin are pulled apart and become red and pained. I don't know what to dooo and I know I should prob talk to it with a doctor but I'm not old enough to have an OBGYN and I'm too embarrassed to talk to my mum about it.. I'm also kinda worried it started bc I masturbated too hard and that it's just never really healed since then and is exacerbated by needing to like. Wipe a lot on my period 😭

Again apologies if this is too . Not sex related! I just literally didn't know who else to potentially ask

Anon, this is "weird submission" The Blog, no worries! <3

Okay, you already know this isn't exactly my expertise so you know I can't give you a diagnosis but I can say this isn't a masturbation issue. Masturbating without lube can cause tears but not in the way you're talking about.

It sounds a lot like you're dealing with vulvar fissures [which is a term for chronic splitting/tearing vulvar skin], which is a sign of an infection, disorder and/or skin condition. Which means if you can, you really should be bringing it up to a doctor. And your mom. Because things like that can get much, much worse and its best to get it as early as possible.

I know it sounds wild but there is no "too young" for an OBG/YN. Their job is literally helping people having issues like yours, fuck anyone who tells you you're "too young" to get help. You have a problem, you're allowed to get help for it.

And this isn't your fault-Even if it was caused by masturbation, all that means is that you didn't get information on how to masturbate safely, which is a failure of sex education, not you.

If you're too embarrassed to talk with your mom, my suggestion is always to write down the problem [including that you think you need a doctor], give them the note and if you have to, hide in your room until your mom reads it.

But don't let embarrassment and people being ridiculous about kids needing OBG/YNs convince you not to get help when you need it, Anon.

Hope this helps. Let me know! Especially if you have anymore questions!! 💚

hey guys guess what (is in the family guy death pose)

insert that one image of the youtube thumbnail + title of 'the sorcerer has harmed me once more'. augh <- allergy kicked in but the allergy medicine she usually takes didnt do anythign so now shes feeling the brunt of it

[moldyselene]

I want to know more about lesbian Kaishin, if you feel like talking about them. 👀

I DO I DOOO I will gladly yap about them

-kaito uses a androgynous voice for KID

-at the beginning when kaito started changing her outfit people went wild, going through every detail to decipher the meaning behind the sudden change

-other than rooftop meetings, shinichi sometimes gets invitations to Blue Parrot to meet KID there

-I ended up liking all 3 designs I gave fem KID so theyre all canon now *confetti* (art in cutoff)

-timeline being og canon look➡️ middle design➡️ left design, but kaito will shuffle between 3 variations just because (also shinichi mentioned she like the og suit too so)

-she made the right one specifically for dates/meetings with shinichi (blue parrot), kinda her 'bartender fit'

-kaito fell first, shinichi fell harder

Another commission from the amazing talented asiridraws/ @crimsonkingg22

And this one is kind of a big deal ~~~ I've had a lot of artwork commissioned over the years but I've never had one done with me as the tickler. Part of that is because though I teaseeee and tease so much, I am always a ticklee at heart. I probably deserve those tickles anyway ~ but also I've been waiting for an artist with the right style to really capture how I tickle~

Jupiter women can lowkey be like this too. Idk about the Freud stuff, but jupiter is the husband. When their dad fails to display positive jupiter traits and becomes arrogant, withdrawn and selfish, they become their own dad. So they embody or atleast attempt to embody positive jupiter traits of generosity and virtue. Now that I’ve typed that out, it doesn’t sound as relevant as it did in my head 😭

However I do think that what OP was describing is more of a Bharani thing than anything else. I’m sure other venus naks do it too but still.

Bharani has major connotations to childbirth and so many women make sacrifices when they have children, some are forced to leave education, some develop long term health problems, and some struggle to leave difficult relationships since children complicate that kind of thing. Before medicine advanced it was somewhat common to just die entirely bc of childbirth.

So therefore I think a lot of Bharani natives (esp moon bc we’re talking about mothers) are overly aware of the sacrifice their mothers made and it weighs on them. It becomes their “burden” as the translation of Bharani, “she who bares” takes on a literal and metaphorical interpretation. So basically Bharanis like to acknowledge the people who came before them and their sacrifices but they can have a bit of a chip on their shoulder bc of it. Inheriting their karma in a sense.

So when they experience that humiliation from their abusive parent they “eat the pain” as part of the burden they bare. Fighting back will always lead to more suffering for them despite their anger and resentment (aries). In mythology Yama was about to kick his mom but even though he holds himself back, she still cursed his foot.

Yama’s father ☀️ ☀️ also got mad at his mother for struggling to look directly at him and cursed Yama as a result, which is such a good example of the dynamics their parents have and how they suffer from it.

In conclusion, Bharanis are stoics become pushovers with daddy issues. Sorry for the unsolicited lecture, it may happen again

Nahh you're right. Jupiter women and their daddy issues are well documented (by me lmao 🤣🤡) they do become excessively giving because their dad's weren't giving at all 😤

Jupiter is a masculine planet for a reason after all. Reminds me of Rekha, Purvabhadrapada Moon. She and her siblings were the illegitimate children of a famous actor and he never acknowledged them publicly. Her mom had many other kids from other relationships etc and they were dirt poor. Rekha even went to school with her father's legitimate kids and other kids in school knew about the whole situation and called her a bastard 🥺🥹

She started acting at the age of 13 to support her ailing mother and 6 or 7 siblings. She hated being an actor and was severely exploited in the industry, esp since she had no mentors or father figures :(((( in turn she made sure none of her siblings ever had to work in the movies to make a living and supported everyone financially until they settled down 🥺 she in turn never got married or had kids :((( (she was manipulated into marrying a guy once and he committed suicide and she was hella traumatized by that as well, but that's a separate story 💀)

Here's a pic of Rekha with some of her siblings (2 or 3 are missing in the picture)

She does embody that Jupiter woman being the man trope.

(This is Rekha & her mom Pushpavalli)

Despite everything, she's never spoken ill about her father or even her mother, who clearly made her the scapegoat and placed undue pressure on her to provide even though she was a literal child. She even named her house after her mother 🥺

Anywaayyyyyssss

I agree that Bharanis are in a unique position because of their mythology and in general I think Bharanis are more dignified and humane than other Venus naks

They're outcaste naks who know what it's like to be the outsider and work their way up

But yes they're pushovers with daddy issues 😭😭😭😭

I lowkey like how empathetic they are to women bc of what they saw growing up 😔😔 like they're genuinely just like "no this is not how it should be, women need to be worshipped period, my woman will never suffer this way" and 🤧🤧😩😩😩i fall for that shit lmao

I had a recent experience with a Jupiter conjunct Purvashada Rising man who thought that broke men did not deserve to have women 💀💀💀 he said men who cannot provide have no business dating or marrying 💀💀and that "real men" should never ask for a 50-50 and put the burden on his partner and if he truly loves her, he should want her to be relaxed and enjoy life. He said things like "what's the point of me working so hard if my family isn't enjoying themselves and having a good time, my wife can do whatever she wants and I'll support her but she will never have to work to pay the bills" and ngl I love this mentality lmfao 😂🤣🤪🤭

Venus men being scarred by incompetent dads and overcompensating by being the provider and father they never had is >>>>> 🥵🥵🥵🥵so sexy of them tbh

THE VERY BEGINNING OF MY HESITANT ALIEN FIC WORK!! :3

posting this here to see what kind of interest it gets, because generally this was just a silly idea I wanted to do on impulse and I dooo have more but i'm gonna feed yall with a prologue/intro first to see how it does or if anyone likes it :p

the general idea for this is basically a backstory for hesitant alien era gerard pretty much 😭 and him meeting lola if I get that far w/ it too!!

anywayyysss thank you so much to anyone who reads and enjoy!! <33

Noise from the TV buzzes commercially, as per usual. The transatlantic voice rings through listeners' ears like an old fashioned telephone, desperate for attention. Once you're tuned in from the jingle, it's almost obligatory to stick around- how else will you hear that household name radio song which hates even it's own existence?

----------------------------------------------------

PROLOGUE: (CHAPTER ZERO ZERO)

"Intergalactic Star Gerard Way, the first human to discover planetary lifeforms, shares a heart to heart insight on his initial connection with aliens! Don't miss it!"

After the interviewers' ramble about new hits and floorfillers finally ends, the voice that was supposed to be heard about ten minutes ago finally has a chance to speak:

"You wouldn't believe it. It was the first night of summer camp thirty years ago where I had my first encounter with the extraterrestrial. They crept up on me without a sound. The rays from the spaceship beamed across the window shielding my sleeping face, leaving behind a faint warmth that woke me up. I walked outside and there it was. A giant fuckin' UFO that called to me, in a way, at least I'd like to think was, telepathically."

"Aaaaand we're outta ti"-

Gerard, after listening again to his interview for faults of some kind, shuts the radio off with a solemn sigh, reminiscing on that evening so long ago. It's his claim to fame, after all. The only thing the press sees him for- a party trick, a magic man, a captivating headline. The guy who discovered aliens and made a music career out of it, kickstarting an entire phenomenon of intergalactic tourism.

However, what seems applaudable today was beyond humane questioning back then- at the beginning. Before he reached stardom, he persevered time after time of disbelief, apathy and questioning of his gift...

Yet, how was it given to him?

Goodnite Sweetheart

Helloooo there! I thought it was time to throw this out there. Stranger things keep floating in the back of my mind so it was time. This song pops into my head every now and again, and now I'm making that Eddie's problem. With cuddles. Because who doesn't want cuddles. Please enjoy <3

On Ao3 here

According to Robin, Steve is a big, fat liar.

Eddie never really had a reason to think so until that entire Vecna thing. The dust settled and everybody was allowed home from the hospital, the exception being Red. She is gonna take a while longer.

He had expected the lies to be smaller stuff, like how he is probably not over Nancy or that he actually can’t swim or something. 

Turns out, Steve has been a liar since that Byers kid disappeared. The amount of secrets that unraveled from that point changed the way Eddie sees the entire group.

The biggest lies, though, are about Steve himself.

Eddie is way too selfish to let go now that Steve has shown even a glimpse of interest.

King Fucking Steve, protecting him, Eddie the Banished, of all people, against the townspeople that just can’t let go. Steve sticks up for him, steps in between him and Jason, helps him clean up his vandalized car. There really is no reason for him to do so, and Steve keeps deflecting why whenever it comes up.

It feels good being around him. Too good, probably, but Eddie selfishly lets it continue. And Eddie wants more.

That is probably why Robin told him. She saw way more than he expected, and way sooner than he is comfortable with admitting. 

By that time, Eddie had initiated his game plan, making sure Steve kept driving him home and pressing kisses to his cheek. He had it confirmed after Steve turned into it, and they shared a confused kiss that quickly led them inside Eddie’s trailer. 

He is just as much a sweet talker as Eddie expected him to be; the flirting, hairspray and frankly an unfairly hot amount of confidence. Which is why it is so much fun to take him apart, to make him let go, to let himself be cared for.

Steve struggles with sleep.

It becomes abundantly clear when Steve more or less moves in with him, despite how people still throw trash at his door, how it is haunted and scarred with memories.

Despite all that, Steve refuses to stay in his own house.It’s not only nightmares, they are to be expected. He has them too, memories and ghost sensations making Eddie sit upright and fight for breath.

Yes, Steve wakes up sometimes, but the more time they spend together, Eddie realizes  more often than not, Steve just doesn’t fall asleep at all. 

Eddie has had his fair share of insomnia as well, all he wanted during that time was someone to be there with him. And sleep, of course. 

Which leads them to tonight, which makes this evening all so precious.

“Why do you know that song?” Steve murmurs sleepily, leaning back against Eddie’s bare chest.

Their skin is sticking together with sweat, and it’s a bit heavy, but Steve has taken hold of Eddie’s left hand, tangling their fingers together, and Eddie’s right hand is tracking nonsense patterns across Steve’s chest. 

“I know every song,” Eddie says, smiling when Steve’s stomach twitches when he traces a line over it. “Ticklish?” 

Steve just grunts, turning his head to nuzzle up under Eddie’s chin. It makes him melt every time, which is a rather odd but pleasant sensation. 

Eddie starts humming, and Steve squeezes his fingers. 

“Goodnite sweetheart, it’s time to go,” Eddie rasps, grinning when Steve snorts. “Goodnite sweetheart, it’s time to go.”

Steve’s hand is warm as it climbs up Eddie’s arm, wrapping it around himself. As if Eddie would ever let him go.

“I hate to leave you, but I really must say,” Steve’s fingers clench around his arm, and well, Steve doesn’t talk much about himself, but Dustin told him enough about Steve’s parents, about Nancy, about being left behind over and over again. “Goodnite, sweetheart, Goodnite.”

“Dudu duh du dooo,” Steve mutters, sounding half asleep, and Eddie can’t help but grin.

“Why do you know it, Harrington?” Eddie teases, sticking his finger in Steve’s belly button.

“Why are you so weird?” Steve shoots back, slapping his hand away lazily.

“You like it,” Eddie grins, and Steve doesn’t dispute him. He keeps humming, pretending as if he knows the rest of the lyrics. Steve doesn’t seem to mind, his breaths are evening out, his grip gentling on Eddie’s arm.

Success.

The blanket is still tangled around their waists, but the slight chill that is creeping up on him is worth it to fight the demons keeping Steve awake. For once, Eddie is the one doing the protecting.

“Goodnite, sweetheart, Good night,” Eddie whispers, hand flattening against Steve’s stomach.
