#being equally as scared

"Steve, I need you to come over," Eddie's shaky voice in the receiver made the sleepy confusion on Steve's face turn into a concerned frown.

"Wha- Are you okay?"

The loud screech, even louder thud of the phone dropping to the floor and more whimpering and sobbing was enough to get him out of bed, grabbing his bat and run to his car.

~~~

"Eddie? Eddie!"

"In here! Hurry!"

Steve gripped the bat tighter, pushing the door to Eddie's bedroom open and looking around the seemingly safe area. Expect for the mess all over the floor and bed, and the overly spooked metalhead holding a long pole stick - where did he get that from? - perched on a chair.

"Get this spawn of satan out of here!" Eddie shrieked, and for a second Steve just stared at him blankly.

"What are we fighting?" He asked, looking around more carefully now.

"There's a MOUSE in my room," the man hissed just as the sound of four little paws hit the floorboards right behind Steve. "There!"

"ARGH!" Steve threw himself onto the bed, the bat pointed at the source of the very sound - a small, grey mouse, sitting on its back legs and staring at Steve with its little head tilted to the side.

For a long moment there was no sound - the world seemed to stop around the two men and the creature.

But that was until the mouse got back on all fours and ran to the other corner, resulting in another dose of high pitched screams and violent bat-and-pole-stick swinging.

And if Wayne came home a few hours later to Steve and Eddie sleeping on the couch holding onto each other for dear life, the bedroom door barricaded with furniture and towels in every crack, then that's for them to have to explain later.

Honestly really disappointing and upsetting that just after I found the pills that make you green comics the creator turned out to very much extremely hate people like me

[phantomkapok]

Resting time

long!!! distance!!!! sucks!!!!!!

[obitv]

think everyone online would be happier if they remembered that we are all cringe. yes even the cool people theyre still tumblr users posting about [insert fandom here]. doesnt matter if theyre a talented creator theyre still just as much of a loser as you are. and once you internalise this and stop putting people on pedestals while simultaneously putting yourself down you will be happier

Characters who have the luck of the devil on their side because they're just that damn charismatic vs those who have it because the universe just likes them that damn much.

This is about Moist vs Carrot from discworld btw

[notyixiangs]

big fan of characters who understand each other so well that they are able to use each other’s weaknesses against each other. characters who have been inseparable for so long (whether they like it or not) that they’ve witnessed each other’s crest and fall and studied each other’s dispositions like specimens beneath glass. as a result they’ve crawled into the cracks in each other’s skin & mapped out the soft underbelly hidden beneath all that confidence and pride. so now they’re calling out the other person’s most shameful flaws, sniping at the most sensitive bits of scar tissue they try so desperately to hide, digging out their most humiliating memories or those filled with grief.

if you’re lovers or close friends, then you’re forced to realize that yes, to be loved is to be known, but to be known is also to flay yourself open. you cannot declare yourself above the risk of having someone take advantage of your wounds & you cannot transcend the vulnerability that comes as love’s collateral damage

if you’re enemies… then all i can say is that the sweet respite of enduring coexistence for so long is that you know precisely how to take each other apart. you know how to play the other like putty beneath your fingertips by tugging at their pain points, and that in itself is a glorious thing—but equally so, the knowledge that they can enact the exact same thing on you is inordinately terrifying

actually since i've broken my streak on not annoyedposting anyway i might as well get this one outta the way too. look the second i saw the "does sans actually care about papyrus dying" discourse pop back up i immediately recognized it as something very annoying that i couldn't care less about and don't want any part in whatsoever because WHO CARES that being said if i keep seeing those posts about it in the papyrus tag im going to meticulously comb through each of my aus to see how exactly i can kill sans off in every single one

Old Flesh + The Parliament is conservatism.

I said what I said and I’m not taking it back.

I WAS WAITING 🥳🥳🥳😈😈😈 QUESTIONS FOR MIRUKU!!

All under Catmint - Ferocity, Courage and Quarrelsomeness!!

█   𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐁𝐀𝐋 𝐎𝐂 𝐐𝐔𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 ⸻ ( ⚝ )

Here we go again with my ridiculously late answers, but thank you for always humoring me and sending questions in, Melon! I hope your day is going well !

╰┈┈➤   𝑪𝒂𝒕𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒕 - 𝑭𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒚, 𝑪𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑸𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔.

───  01.  How quick is your OC to anger? Can they fly into a fury, seemingly out of nowhere? Or does it gradually build like a gathering storm? Infrequent & quick to relinquish. By default, Miruku is not an angry person nor does he have the capacity to hold onto anger. It's an emotion that is more often than not replaced by dejection and despondency, he's more likely to express disappointment and sadness rather than anger. He also values his comfort enough to not gather and bottle most negative emotions he comes across, this side of him helps relieves his displeasures.

However, person as he is, some disturbances cannot be avoided, the handful of times he had been truly angered were moments that debilitated him wholly physically. It is a foreign emotion he does not really know how to handle, it makes him physically ill as a result.

───  02. What motivates your OC to be courageous? A sense of honour or duty? A need to maintain a reputation for fearlessness? A bloody-minded refusal to be pushed around? A wish to protect the vulnerable? The need to win against all odds?

Miruku is not a courageous individual, though at first glance he may seem bold and fearless, his truth is stranger than fiction ! His fear response is thoroughly impaired, unable to properly react to danger cues. He could be aware that something or someone is dangerous but fear is alarmingly dulled, fortunately he was taught to curate his well-being and safety first and foremost.

This affliction, while worrisome to his love ones, had proven to be quite helpful in navigating the underbelly of the mafia system. This is likely why, in spite of being a civilian, Miruku was able to wedge himself into crime and violence, though because this is not at all normal or healthy, he ends up suffering else where.

───  03.  What subject is your OC most likely to argue about? And who are they most likely to argue about it with?

Miruku Osashima does not argue, he simply MANSPLAIN people into submission. He has this horrible way of completely ignoring what people are saying, talking over them without much of an 'anyway' to change subject. He knows what he is doing and he does not want to acknowledge your opinion whatsoever ; the subject ? Anything. ( He does this often to Momina, some kind of bullying tactic. He finds her frustrations cute. )

───  04. Does your OC often bicker with others? Do they complain frequently? Is this due to genuine dissatisfaction or anger? Or is it done in a slightly tongue in cheek fashion?

He is pedantic without a cost, but Miruku would never claim he bickers. He banters albeit viciously in frustrating and ridiculous extent, he doesn't need to be right nor does he care to win, he only bickers and complain only to tease. He does it often enough that you'll get use to his misconduct, though admittedly if you're particularly sensitive, you'll likely feel like you're being tyrannize by a school yard bully, in some ways he is but the bully likes you a lot and things is sweet when you whine and cry.

His TORMENTOR LITE hobby however, will eventually blow up in his face. In his adulthood, this schemes hardly works with the three men that keeps him in check... Reborn, Takeshi and Dino has a special way of forcing him to behave, it's almost believable when he starts whining about how they don't actually love him and that they're sick and twisted for whatever totally reasonable thing they've put upon him. Suddenly, he knows how to bite his tongue.

───  05. When was your OC the most angry they have ever been? What about this situation made them so angry? Was it the person who provoked them? The injustice of the situation? Or their own powerlessness in the face of circumstance?

It had been when Yuni returned with Byakuran, he didn't think he could have ever hated anyone more than he hated Yuni in that moment. Byakuran is a very unique pain that he could not begin to commiserate with. Yuni forgave Byakuran in their stead, as if she has authority to revoke the harm he had done.

His outrage will eventually melt into special ache. Yuni had made Miruku deeply and irrevocably heartbroken. He looks at her pained, but as he let goes of Byakuran, so does he with her.

I’m gonna be super real as a gay trans man, the idea that people (especially those like me) MUST center women at all times, in their lives and identity and attraction and oppression, is not feminist and dare I say it’s not even progressive.

[james-spooky]

this is a test

[izzy-b-hands]

Was doing okay holding back all of the fear re: the potential election outcome until literally this second what the fuck to my brain lmao
