#but i will not submit to fear

[rayatii]

The Israeli jet pilots have yet again been so lovingly kind (/s) as to give us a couple of new sonic booms just now, so here’s a video that my uncle who lives in Geneva sent us a couple days ago on a family WhatsApp group, of Lebanese people on the beach during sonic booms these past few days. Near the end, they’re repeatedly chanting “Do it again!”

Really fucked up that, when they’re young, Patrick and Art are SO tactile with each other, so comfortable sharing the same space. Art lets Patrick touch him and move him and physically overwhelm him and easily acquiesces to it, if not outright enjoys it.

Then in the present, they’ve been so far out of each other’s orbit for so long, held such animosity that when they have their moment alone in the sauna, Art physically recoils from Patrick’s close proximity! It’s so painful to watch because even as Patrick’s goading him, it’s so obvious he wants to be able to get back into Art’s space. But Art has erected all these walls around himself, he refuses to give Patrick an inch or even admit to missing how close they used to be!

AND THEN we see Art and Tashi later and he wants her to hold him, to be gentle with him, and just TOUCH him. Like, he does miss that kind of close physical contact! He either doesn’t know how to ask for it or is uncomfortable being that openly vulnerable. Worth noting that he pretty much always defers to Tashi in regard to initiating physical intimacy (with their first kiss, though he does state his desire, SHE has to be the one to make the first move). And it seems pretty obvious that Tashi herself isn’t comfortable providing that intimacy, whereas Patrick actively seeks to provide it (the hug/forehead kiss after their win together in the early years, dragging the stool closer to him).

Art has tried very hard to act like he doesn’t need physical affection and even though his discipline and devotion to Tashi has made him a stronger tennis player, it’s made him a hollow person, which, in turn, has kept him from becoming a GREAT tennis player.

All of this, of course, is why the ending hits so damn hard.

I am once again thinking about the reluctant ruler whose arc justly and correctly includes assuming the throne and taking responsibility for the people set before them

no matter what changes, one thing—i know for sure—that won't ever change is me getting scared before publishing a fanfic.

Grant: “I just need you to be complacent.”

He wraps his hands around my neck and begins to squeeze.

Grant: “So that we can go home together.”

I scratch at his hands, trying to dig my fingers underneath them but it’s to no avail.

Grant: “Please darling . . . just go to sleep.”

He squeezes tighter. I feel my head swell, a dizziness takes over.

Player: “P-ple . . . ase . . . s-stop . . .”

Grant: "Just . . . sleep . . . and then I can let go."

Whump Prompt #1245

Submitted by Anon - thanks!

A newly vampiric caretaker accidentally loses control and biting the whumpee, who had previously been harmed by a vampire whumper.

In this instance, there’s no lasting physical harm done but caretaker is so scared of themselves and doesn’t want to hurt whumpee that they isolate themselves to try and prevent further harm to whumpee.

It hurts worse if you imagine that the caretaker was turned while rescuing whumpee. Maybe they weren’t even aware of it until their fangs were in the whumpee’s flesh.

Huh. I'm really curious if the autocannibalism thing is more common than I'd thought, or if this blog is just popular in certain circles. Would you be willing to do a poll about that? Something like:

If you have something to do with (auto)cannibalism, how did you find this blog?

Saw someone else asking about the topic

Saw a reblog from someone in related circles

Just happened to come across it

I'm not involved in that

I expect option 4 would sweep, so you could see raw vote counts at https://glittering.world/poll-grabber

i'm not limiting the poll to cannibalism, because i'm generally curious and the results will speak for themselves!! ^_^ ("related tags" will prob correlate with interest groups)

Studying compsci right now sucks because both my lab partners and the professors are deepthroating ChatGPTs boots.

Honestly, even without Art’s attempts at manipulation and sabotage, I don’t think Patrick and Tashi’s relationship would’ve survived anyway. Before they started dating, Patrick was criticizing her career plans and Tashi was never interested in entertaining his massive ego at her expense. Passion and chemistry are important to relationships, but if that’s the only foundation, it’s gonna crumble quickly.

The only difference between Patrick/Tashi vs Art/Tashi is that the relationship would’ve ending with a bang instead of a whimper.
