#but he’s working on it!

Ok but has older bf Simon ever felt insecure about the age gap? Maybe he sees reader/us chatting with a younger guy and starts to wonder if maybe the younger man would be a better choice?

oh without a doubt older bf!simon gets insecure about the age gap, no matter how big or small it is

but that’s because he’s a bit insecure in general

in the sense that he’s never thought he deserved you

he sees you speaking to a younger man? he convinces himself you need someone that can keep up with you (even though he does just fine)

sees you dressed up real nice? convinces himself you need someone who looks good next to you (even though you think he does)

sees you with your friends and their partners? convinces himself you need someone who fits in better with the group (even though he’s the one the gets the girls the most giggly)

it’s all in his head, he can never give himself a break, can never let himself live

it’s less about you and more about him- maybe it is about you- maybe it’s because he could capture the moon, sun, and stars for you but it still wouldn’t feel like enough

not when it comes to you

his knees hurt, his back hurts, he’s grumpy, he can’t always get it up, his temper is short, he needs you to explain some of your jokes

but then there is the way you look at him

smile up at him with all teeth and a glint in your eye that looks like you’re staring into the sun

or the way you run into his arms the minute he gets home, home from deployment or home from the grocery store

face pressed into his chest and arms around his waist, mumbling about how happy you are he’s home

or when that younger guy was chatting you up, doing his best to sweet talk you into coming home with him

the way your eyes immediately crossed the room until you found him

found simon

he knew you well enough to see the words on your lips without hearing them, see you raise your hand to point at the ghost haunting the other side of the room

eyes bright, staring at the sun

“no thank you, i’m his”

i will never forget in 2022 when i went to the same starbucks every day for like 4 months. and every day i ordered the same thing (grande iced matcha latte with oat milk). and every day it was the same barista and he was so rude to me every single time. and then one day i got in line and he immediately started making my matcha latte when he saw me and as i went to grab it off the counter, he stopped me and looked in my eyes and said "i'm sorry i'm such an asshole to you every day. this job sucks everyone is such a dick to me and youre the only regular who isnt so i take it out on you. and that probably wont change but im sorry anyway." and then the next time i went, he was rude as fuck to me again like nothing had ever happened. life is so strange.

i was cuddling with my boyfriend last night when his shoulder started tensing up (like he was readjusting or gently pushing me off) and when i asked him if he was okay or needed me to move or something he went “no you’re fine, i was just imagining myself pulling a large rope. i didn’t even realize my shoulder was doing that lmao” then refused to elaborate and i have never been as attracted to him as i was in that moment.

put a finger down if you were just talking to your 70 year old dad and one thing led to another and you ended up having to sheepishly explain omegaverse and he was asking more and more questions so eventually you were standing with your face fully covered stammering out “a-and they go into… heat… cycles…” but he was still curious so now you’re listening to him read reddit posts about mpreg and yaoi aloud at your kitchen table

supple-MENTAL am I right-

I love how fast Jon spiraled between seasons

Belphie somehow got out and into the neighbour’s yard yesterday. when they came to my door, they described him as a “short-haired cat” which I thought was really flattering

Funny things I found out playing with language setting in Netflix while looking episode 15:

Chilchuck's scream sounds HAUNTED in brazilian portuguese. Give it a try if you can.

(You can hear it here)

In spanish dub, Senshi says: "tocó mis senos de hombre", which means "he touched my man boobs" in Spanish. And I think that's the best dub line one so far.
