One of the main reasons why I silently freak out so much after talking to people in a group setting is because I listen to them (or at least try to act like I’m listening to them) but the very instant I open my mouth to speak, they start talking to someone else, or someone else talks right fucking over me even though they know I‘m trying to speak. Every. Single. Time.

And it’s not just so-called “neurotypical” people. Oh no. It’s neurodivergent people too. And the neurodivergent people I understand; but they also have to understand that not all of us are fast talkers and some of us need people to be patient or we will never get our information out. My brain-to-mouth processing speeds are extremely extremely slow and I cannot talk quickly to save my life unless I am reciting something I already have memorized. If someone cuts me off in any way before I am finished, my brain gets stuck in a buffering mode for three seconds at the very least, and more if they continue to cut me off when I’m trying to communicate “No that’s not the end of what I’m saying and that’s not what I even meant by that. Stop making hasty generalizations about a point you haven’t even heard through yet.”

But no matter who I am talking to, right before I am able to finish my extremely well-thought-out point that I’ve been formulating in my head for months or years prior in the mirror, I always, without fail get cut off because everyone gets impatient with my long pauses and doesn’t even want to attempt to listen to what I have to say because they think what they’re about to say in reaction is more important. And it’s not like I’m taking over the conversation or talking more than I listen; I’m just taking more time than they are comfortable with to say a typical amount of words.

And then those same people always tell me, in a somewhat patronizing tone, “You’re so quiet! You’re such a good listener!” Yes because that’s what you’ve made me. Why should I talk to you if you won’t fucking listen to me for three seconds. And no, after a certain point I stopped listening to you because why should I listen to you if you don’t ever listen to me?

Everyone’s nice to me and says they want me there at their social functions but they still subtly exclude me. God damn.

I suppose they want to look at me, or perhaps inhale my aroma. Like I’m a house plant.

I wish we were shown more about the Palisman carving process. I've wondered whether Flapjack's scarred eye was due to an injury when he was with Evelyn, during his time abandoned, or whether it was just a quirk/mishap of his carving. It'd also be cool if it was from a knot or a scar in the palistrom wood piece. If the bumps and scars from carving are carried over to when the palisman bonds to a witch and is animated, I feel like we would see more palismen with bumps, knots, and scars -- which is awesome. Woo!! Normalizing imperfections and quirks of beginning carvers

As Dell continued to touch and fondle, Taurie's tail would become increasingly harder to keep hold of. So ecstatic with his lovers ministrations Taurie couldn't keep his tail from whipping back and forth madly. As Dell scratched at the base it lifted, arching and pressing into the soft scritching of those short nails.

"Douse it with all ya got Sugar.... Feel so good... Ahm gonna..."

With a loud, baritone low that seemed to fill the forest Taurie released, splattering against Dell's belly and his own udders. Other than getting him out of breath and turning his grip to jelly it did little to extinguish the flames burning hot inside of him. That instinctual need to be bred spurring him onward, lowing sounds of encouragement for Dell to fill him with his seed.

When his wish was granted and his Texan stud had his ass filled to the brim there was a small respite. Taurie slumping forward, pushing Dell backwards onto the grass.

"Lord...ain't no machine either of us could build could make me feel the way you do... Yer so warm n' comfy..." The man practically cooed, going face down in Dell's tits. His ass starting to pulse and clench, thwarting ant escape and keeping his mate rooted in place.

When he'd feel Dell's fingers creeping toward his head he looked up, taking a breath and giving Dell the most love drunk smile he'd ever had. Oblivious that his boyfriend was about to attempt to put him under.

"Mah Dell...what ah'd ever do to deserve ya? Wish we could stay out here all night..."

“Alright, safe word is Spook, no more than two friendly shoulder pats a day and no stories about killing, maiming, arson, or unethical procedures or anything that I couldn’t tell Dolly Parton.” Dell continued to mumbled nervously as he continued to “look” for something in his pack.

He wasn’t sure of bringing the wedding ring was a good idea, the closer they got the more he was compelled to check and make sure it was still there, and it wasn’t even like he was going to ask until they were well on their way back.

After finishing reciting the rules for what felt like the 100th time in the past ten minutes Dell finally stopped and nodded to himself just as he pasted a sign confirming they were but 5 minutes away.

Seeing this Dell felt his panic welling back up but this time for a different reason. “Pull over somewhere secluded, I want to kiss ya one more time… again.”

Taurie couldn't help the amused smirk that rested on his face as he listened to Dell nervously talk himself through the rules the two of them had came up with. The longer they were in the truck the more restless Dell had become. Taurie couldn't deny his own nerves were making butterflies in his stomach, but being it was his own parents house helped.

"Sounds about right. We're just engineers that so happen to design and build weaponry." He nodded, chuckling as Dell asked him to pull over.

"Again? Ya act like ahm taken ya to death row, Dell." He teased, though Taurie did find a pull off that seemed empty.

He gave Dell a reassuring pat and offered his bottle of water after taking a quick sip. The air was hot and dry just as he'd remembered it.

"Try not to panic. Yer just a buddy that needed a break from work so ah let ya tag along." Taurie smiled, glancing around to confirm they were alone before leaning in to give his boyfriend another 'final' kiss, one of many over the past hour.

Patting Dells cheek he pulled back into the road. Taurie's excitement to see his family after being gone for several years outweighed his apprehension. After another minute or so of driving he nodded to the rolling pastures on the left side of the road.

"Property starts about out here. These fields are used later in the year, after the ones the cows are in now have grazed the grass short. Used to come out to the woods just yonder to explore when ah was little." He said, finger popping up from the steering wheel to point at a thicket of trees.

Looking over he lightly nudged Dell with his elbow, offering him a smile.

"Just breathe pardner. You've been through worse than this."

Here are some companies that strongly support Israel (but are not Boycott targets). There is no ethical consumption under capitalism and boycotting is a political strategy - not a moral one. If you did try to boycott every supporter of Israel you would struggle to survive because every major company supports Israel (as a result of attempting to keep the US economy afloat), that being said, the ones that are being boycotted by masses and not already on the organic boycott list are coloured red.

Prepotente e sfacciato

"Silvana, ti mando questo messaggio perché non ce la faccio più. Io penso, anzi: sono sicuro che tu segretamente nel letto ti tocchi pensando a me. Certo: fai la sostenuta, davanti agli altri che ballano sulla pista impegnati nella danza. Vieni a scuola di ballo due volte a settimana. T'accompagna tuo marito. Lui non balla, ma stranamente t'ha chiesto di vestirti sempre più provocante."

"Da quella prima volta, dalla sera in cui ha visto come ballavamo insieme, ma persino lui ha capito che ti desidero, che ti stringo come se volessi portarti a letto subito. E ha percepito che tu rispondi al mio corpo. Infatti, per ballare ormai, come partner per la lezione cerchi sempre e solo me. Anche se gli dici che ti sto sulle palle e che ti stringo troppo. Però quando arrivi, i tuoi occhi cercano immediatamente i miei. E per ballare i lenti, il tango, la kizomba, la milonga, non so perché ma mi porti sempre lontano da lui."

"Così da frapporre molte altre coppie tra noi e il suo sguardo. Da poco hai iniziato anche a respirarmi roca nell'orecchio. Mi sussurri che ti sto soffocando, però quella che si stringe… sei tu! Vuoi farmi morire di passione. Ti devo avere. Dimmi tu quando. Ti voglio. Così smetterai di toccarti sognando che io ti possieda e potremo darci al più grande e proibito dei piaceri. Non preoccuparti troppo di tuo marito: è chiarissimo ormai che lui desidera che io ti scopi. E anche tu non vedi l'ora: confessa."

"Antonio, ma... sei completamente impazzito? Solo perché metto minigonne plissè, calze velate e camicette di tulle trasparenti nere o bianche senza sotto il reggiseno, non vuol dire che tu mi piaccia e che voglia stimolare la tua libidine. Poi, sai che sono sposata e ho un bambino: non scordarlo. Certo, mio marito non mi tocca spesso. Anzi: è mesi che non mi sfiora. Oddio, ti sto facendo delle confidenze forse troppo intime… scusami!"

"Dovrei essere offesa dalle tue parole, però! Ma... insomma, per chi mi hai presa? Comunque, a dirla tutta, in fondo sono lusingata dalle tue attenzioni di maschio. Questo si, te lo confesso. Al massimo, ma solo per ringraziarti dell'attenzione e siccome non sono una persona maleducata, ti dico che possiamo prendere insieme un caffè. Solo un caffè rapido. Domani: nel primissimo pomeriggio, subito dopo mezzogiorno. Lui è al lavoro e il bimbo ancora all'asilo, dove mangia anche."

"Ma poi guarda che massimo alle due devo correre a prenderlo. Ti va bene? Capisco che ti fa piacere, perciò verrò vestita… da ballo. Indosserò anche scarpe tacco dodici. Così, dai: potrai finalmente vedermi in tutta la mia... prorompente femminilità! Ti piacerò ancor di più. Oh, Signore! Ma che mi fai dire... Però so anche che di sicuro non ne approfitterai, da gentiluomo quale sei. Ripeto: solo un caffè, ok? Allora, vengo a casa tua?"

"Si. Ti aspetto già da adesso. Ti mando l'indirizzo e preparerò il miglior caffè. Il miele ce lo metteranno i tuoi occhi. E la tua voce sarà la musica di sottofondo. Non vedo l'ora. Così domani sera i nostri balli saranno più armonici e fluidi, non credi?"

"Ah, ah: che scemo! Inizi a non starmi più così tanto sulle palle… Ci vediamo domani. Però… per favore non farne parola con nessuno: sai, potrei morire dall'imbarazzo. Una signora per bene che prende un caffè a casa di un separato più giovane… Potrebbero pensare chissà cosa…"

"Tranquilla. Sono un gentiluomo. Baci."

"Un bacio a te. A domani."

Ye Dinna get used to it

A beautiful episode that redeems the mediocrity of the previous one. I melted at the looks exchanged between Jamie and John. In their hatred, they love each other. Did you notice Jamie’s expression, the way his body moved, his breathing when he saw he was safe and standing there? Sam is absolutely brilliant in those moments when he speaks through his face and body. David is no less impressive, and his exchange with Percy is worthy of a textbook performance.

I also really enjoyed William with Jane—Silvia is very talented, by the way, another spot-on casting choice. It’s truly a shame what will happen. I’ll always root for Will and Fanny, even if their story hasn’t been written yet. Ian and Rachel were very sweet too, but in my opinion, they’re missing something. I’m not sure what—maybe the actors don’t have the right chemistry, a bit like Roger and Bree, who work much better when they’re not paired as a couple.

The Marquis de Lafayette was very charming, an original, likable, and well-portrayed character—I really appreciated him. As for Richardson, I won’t say much to avoid spoilers, but even by the end of Bees, I couldn’t fully understand him. That he’s a time traveler is now obvious, but what he truly wants has never been clear.

This episode also lets us appreciate Jamie’s introspection—that blend of humanity, warrior strength, and leadership—that extra something that makes him the perfect man, for better or worse. I really like this new Claire more than the one from the earlier seasons, and I will never stop saying that she reflects the Claire from the novels more—the one I love so much, she’s the perfect partner for Jamie and the support his tormented soul needs. The final score was beautiful.

And finally: “Go and save our son.” Because what unites these two men is something that surpasses mere “carnal knowledge.”

Un bellissimo episodio che riscatta la pochezza del precedente. Mi sono sciolta per gli sguardi tra Jamie e John. Odiandosi si amano. Avete notato l’espressione di Jamie e il movimento del suo corpo, il respiro quando ha visto che era salvo ed era lì? Sam è meraviglioso in quei momenti in cui parla col viso e col corpo. David non è da meno e lo scambio con Percy vale un interpretazione da manuale. Mi è piaciuto moltissimo anche William con Jane, Silvia è molto brava tra l’altro, un altro pov azzeccato dal casting. Davvero peccato quello che succederà. Io continuerò sempre a fare il tifo per Will e Fanny, anche se la storia non è ancora stata scritta. Molto dolci Ian e Rachel però, a mio avviso, a loro manca qualcosa, non so, forse gli attori non sono bene assortiti un po’ come Roger e Bree che funzionano molto meglio quando non sono in coppia. Molto carino il Marchese De Lafayette, personaggio originale, simpatico e ben interpretato, l’ho apprezzato tantissimo. Di Richardson non parlo, farei spoiler ma neppure alla fine di Bees mi è riuscito di comprenderlo del tutto, che sia un viaggiatore ormai è palese, ma cosa voglia davvero non è mai stato chiaro. Anche in questo episodio possiamo apprezzare l’ introspezione di Jamie quel suo essere così umano e allo stesso tempo guerriero e condottiero, quel qualcosa in più che lo rende l’uomo perfetto nel bene e nel male. Questa nuova Claire mi piace più di quella delle prime stagioni e non smetterò mai di dire che rispecchia di più la Claire dei romanzi quella che amo tanto, la compagna perfetta per Jamie e il sostegno della sua anima tormentata. Bellissima la sigla finale.

E infine: “Vai e salva nostro figlio” perché ciò che unisce questi due uomini è qualcosa che surclassa la “conoscenza carnale”.

[ilciambellano]

Nel nostro immaginario collettivo il “vero stupro” avviene nello spazio pubblico (un parcheggio, una stradina solitaria), la notte, e la donna, che indossa un abito scollato o la minigonna, è minacciata con un coltello o un’arma da fuoco da un mostruoso sconosciuto psicopatico. In realtà, questo scenario corrisponde solo a un’esigua minoranza dei casi. È dunque indispensabile decostruire questi pregiudizi sullo stupro, obiettivo che ci siamo prefissati con Noémie Renard, bioingegnera e militante femminista, che ha studiato, compilato, raccolto migliaia di statistiche e di studi sulle violenze sessuali, per farne un’opera notevole, “En finir avec la culture du viol.” Ecco le conclusioni di Renard.

– Gli stupratori non utilizzano quasi mai armi e non hanno bisogno di usare violenza fisica.12 Nel 70% dei casi le vittime non si divincolano perché sono paralizzate (dalla paura, perché non riescono a credere a quello che stanno subendo).

– Gli stupratori non sono dei “frustrati”. Non violentano per mancanza di rapporti sessuali consenzienti. Tutti gli studi sugli aggressori sessuali mostrano che hanno più partner sessuali rispetto alla media: una ricerca del 1990 rivela che l’89% degli uomini in carcere per stupro, prima della condanna, aveva rapporti regolari almeno una o due volte a settimana, di cui si diceva soddisfatto.

– Gli stupratori non violentano in preda a “pulsioni” incontrollabili: se così fosse, lo farebbero in mezzo alla strada, in pieno giorno, davanti a tutti.

– Gli stupratori non sono psicopatici. In Europa solo il 7% degli stupratori condannati ha un disturbo mentale. Al contrario, hanno un comportamento estremamente razionale: le loro azioni sono ponderate, premeditate, calcolate, per cercare di esporsi a meno rischi possibili.

– Lo stupratore è spesso “l’uomo qualunque” di ogni età ed estrazione. Il collettivo Féministe contre le viol che da anni ha una linea d’ascolto delle vittime, riporta che queste donne sono state violentate da agricoltori, medici, operai.

– Lo stupro è un reato molto più diffuso di quanto si pensi: in media tra il 25% e il 43% degli uomini dice di aver compiuto almeno una volta nella vita un’aggressione sessuale, o una penetrazione forzata.

– Gli stupratori non sono degli sconosciuti: l’80% delle vittime racconta di essere stato stuprato da uomini che conosceva: mariti, amici, vicini, professori, persone di famiglia.

[desired-fantasy-writings]

hello! hey!

I was thinking if you could maybe write some headcanons or maybe some comforting/tender imagines for the defence mercs with an s/o with low self esteem? the choice is yours really, I don't mind either way

Defense Mercs with an S/O that has low self esteem

A/N: I love these silly goobers sm I absolutely loved working on this. The past couple months for me have been tough so this was just as comforting to me as I hope it shall be for you, my dear readers. <3

Also all nicknames used are exclusively meant to be gender neutral!

Requested by: Anon Warnings: Tiny bit of angst, self doubt. Readers Gender: Gender Neutral Fanfic Type: Headcanons Fanfic Genre: Comfort Word Count: 677

Tavish (Demoman) 

The most he’ll do to cheer up his S/O is by making them laugh, giving them love - doing his drunk shenanigans or whatever else to see them smiling again.

Is not sure how to be the greatest support for them, but he’ll try until something works! When it comes to his partner, he never wants to give up.

If his S/O’s into board games (or poker) related he's pulling the whole collection out. 

Gets into super deep, non-stop drunk ramblings about how wonderful his S/O is when they bring up how they've been feeling about themselves lately. Will go far and beyond to prove all their doubts wrong. 

“Duckie, what you are… no I- You're so… Don’t say that… rubbish… ever again. You hear me? You're so beautiful. I wish you could see what I see in ya.” Tavish drunkenly mumbles against his S/O’s lips, giving them sloppy loving kisses all over. 

The man's not a poet or much of a romantic gentleman, but god damn nothing will stop him from expressing his love for his S/O… even if it's not in the most pleasant way.

Misha (Heavy)

Misha is a special kind of man who knows how to use his strengths - in this case physically and mentally. Will hold his S/O close if they desire that type of physical comfort from him. If his S/O would rather talk about it instead he's a very good listener and emotionally more mature than most men. Thank his mother and sisters for that. Will not speak unless his S/O is done talking about whatever's going on.

As emotionally mature as he is and intelligent - he often has trouble figuring out the right words to say at the moment.

When his S/O explains further about how they feel about themselves, Misha scoffs, a displeased rumble coming from his chest.

“Vhat?-” Misha says, surprised. Nothing about what his S/O said was true. He shakes his head, obviously disapproving, bringing his S/O close to him “-Heavy thinks vhat you say is nonsense, my милый. You're vonderful! Don’t say such awful things about self.”

Dell (Engineer)

Dell's used to this sort of thing being the person that most of the team go to for advice. When it comes to his S/O it hurts him seeing them so down and talking so lowly about themselves. What they're simply saying is SO untrue. 

In this situation he’ll take both him and his S/O out to the camping spot near the base, just the two of you. He finds being stuck inside when feeling like that isn't good for his S/O and will make them go outside no matter how much they protest. 

Simple peace and quiet, getting away from their colleagues for the night is his way of relaxing and getting out of his head. He wants to share that with his S/O, too. 

Dell of course brings his guitar with him, playing sweet ol’ songs just for his S/O. Dell hasn’t forgotten about bringing his S/O their favourite snacks and blankets as they cuddle by the fire all night. Dell’s such a sweetie pie and would do anything to get his S/O out of the negative headspace.

“Darlin’, the nonsense you’re simply spewing is untrue. You’re an incredible individual that's been such an asset for this team.” Dell mumbles into his S/O’s hair, the scent of them further relaxing him. He snuggles into them closer, nuzzling his nose into their hair - leaving a kiss.

“Look… me and the fellas don’t say it enough, but you really are somethin’ special. We wouldn’t have won as many matches as we have without you-" Dell pulls away for a moment, grabbing his S/O’s face gently to look up at him, he smiles warmly staring into their eyes so full of love “-And… you simply have captured my heart like no one has darlin’. Remember that. I love you for you and always sweet pea.”

[scogito]

La maggior parte dei corsi di seduzione insegna come legare il partner in modo che sia "ossessionato da te".

La maggior parte degli incantesimi esoterici sono creati per assoggettare un partner verso chi vuole la sua dipendenza.

La maggior parte degli amanti cerca di manipolare la situazione per prendersi il partner di qualcun altro o prendere per il culo quello con cui sta.

La maggior parte degli investimenti emotivi e fisici ha il puro scopo di avere il soddisfacimento di bisogni personali.

Nella maggior parte delle relazioni le parti si alternano in controllo e in possesso e lo definiscono amore.

La maggioranza delle persone è portata a desiderare, costringere, sottomettere, vincolare, mentire pur di ottenere i propri scopi.

Questi sono solo alcuni esempi del fatto che non è chi ti sovrasta che crea una società di merda. In certe dinamiche non c'è nessuno che obbliga l'altro ad attivarsi in queste maniere, ma ugualmente si comportano come aguzzini.

Tantissime persone hanno una faccia, un corpo, un cervello, ma non provano altro che bisogni e irretiscono qualcuno perché sono convinte che il loro benessere dipenda dall'esterno. Agiscono le loro ombre, e più è elevato, impellente e ingestito il proprio bisogno, più se ne fottono delle conseguenze.

La maggioranza delle persone vive secondo un istinto predatorio distorto, perché si è fermata al livello egoico e bisognoso del bambino.

Il problema non è tuttavia l'infanzia, il problema è che anche superati i 50 anni, continuano a vivere e a rispondere all'ambiente come se ne avessero 13.
