"You don't want me... I'm broken."

These words escape Katsuki, grating in his throat, tasting like blood, iron, smoke, and fire. And his heart thumps in his ears, these tiny explosions remind him of the life he took, of the exchange, sacrifice, a life for a life, a heart for a heart. His body won't ever truly belong to him anymore, but he learned to deal with that, to drown the pulse with explosions of his own.

That only made him trust himself less, his fingers trembling to hold your hand, too afraid of hurting you, too afraid of scaring you. He isn't anything but a bomb with a broken timer, he himself doesn't know when he's going to blow, his fuse diffusing, slipping from his fingers, catching fire due to every little thing.

So he turns away, runs from the problem for the first time in his miserable life, he can't even bring himself to take your hand in his, as much as he wants to dip his thumb between your knuckles, enjoying your skin against his worn callouses. But he never could have indulged like that, never could have just touched you like he wanted, like he desired. Because who is he going to be if he hurts you? Nothing but a liability, nothing but empty anger, only truly filled with fear, with guilt.

And he's right, he's broken. Nothing about him has been right, he's a messed up patchwork, with pieces not belonging to him, with the wrong pieces, the seams fraying, and there's nothing holding him, nothing saving him.

"So what? I'm gonna spend the rest of my life putting you back together." You shrug, taking his hands in yours, calm fingers against trembling ones, dipping between his knuckles, swiping over the delicate skin.

He can't help himself, he puts your hands against his forehead, hiding his face, appreciating the soft love on his face. The echo of the heart inside his chest accepts this prayer, quieting down, replacing the explosions inside his veins with tranquility, with snow and water.

If he can't take your hands in his, then you may have to take his, to appreciate his callouses against your soft skin. And maybe, maybe everything can be alright, maybe you can simply rework the seams holding him, fixing him, making a beautiful tapestry out of his soul.

"why do we even have that lever" is made funnier by the fact there are only 2 levers to begin with (disguised as a pair of tusks on a statue)

i find the implications hilarious:

kronk only had to remember the location of one lever, and couldn't even manage that

but on the other hand, it's easy to get two identical unlabelled levers confused, this one's on yzma tbh

yzma only needed to make one lever to begin with, but she actively chose to turn the second tusk into a functioning trapdoor. she could have just...just not connected the second tusk to anything. it didn't need to have a function

upon reflection, this also answers the question itself: "why do we even HAVE that lever?" it's because yzma herself specifically designed it as a booby trap. "why do we have that lever?" because yzma had it built to keep people out of her secret lair! yzma made the very purposeful choice to put that lever there! and then both she and her inept henchman immediately forgot about her own booby trap! yzma that is YOUR LEVER!!!!!

Yearly reminder to everyone trying to find alternatives to tumblr/social media in general: go make a Neocities account and teach yourself basic HTML and post your art/writing/shitposts there.

It does take extra time to set up (but there are templates out there!) but it is so so worth it to have a site that is 100% YOURS!

You don’t even have to be that good at coding. I’m not. My site is not very accessible via mobile devices but that is fine with me (keeps me off my phone) but there are plenty of ways to make your site mobile friendly. There are plenty of bare bones/accessible sites I adore purely for the media on it.

Imagine having your site on your phone and showing someone- hey! I coded this from scratch. And I didn’t even have to pay a company like squarespace. All your images, links, writings, in one place. I have my fandom edits, memes, fanart, and custom graphics there.

Neocities has a very bare bones follower and comment system, but you can disable this if you want your site to truly abstain from any social media-isms. I use it because its a great way to meet other webmasters and get help with coding problems. Neocities isn't an exact replacement for Tumblr (no reblogging here) but html coding is an invaluable skill to know, as is keeping a personal website in this day in age.

The awesome thing about having your own website is if, god forbid, Neocities goes down, you can move your site to any other number of hosting platforms (like Teacake.org). Your site is truly YOURS, and no one else (shitty tech CEO cough cough) can take it away from you.

If you need help getting started, I recommend checking out sadgrl.online. (More links to resources in the comments section of this post).

I know neocities has been talked about before, especially within my follower circle, but I thought I'd bring it up again for anyone unaware of this awesome platform.

So I got a complaint from a client about their website today.

In brief, this client operates an online directory, in which companies within a particular industry can advertise their services.

Companies appearing in this directory have the option to voluntarily disclose which of a pre-defined list of "visible minority" identifiers apply to the company's ownership: "disabled", "LGBT", etc.

Companies appearing in this directory also have the ability to list people – typically owners or directors – associated with the company. The same visible minority identifiers which apply to companies can also voluntarily be applied to individual people listed under a company.

Today, the website's operator decided to add a new identifier to the list. I'm not sure why they chose to phrase it the way they did, or whether they just forgot that the same list of visible minority identifiers is used for both companies and persons, but the short version is that they want to know why the site's users now have the ability to designate people as "Female Owned".

"He's just, BUILT that way, you Know?" - By CAMullenix

Perhaps the best Version so far of my first Murder Drone's Fanart. Expect of this to come for the rest of the month.

How might y'all think it turned out?

[acerathia]

It's raining. You can't believe you went out without an umbrella, and it started raining. The worst of it all, you aren't even alone. Gojo had joined you randomly on your endeavor to get your groceries done, for no reason at all. He just saw you and latched onto you, following you through the store like a lost puppy, his glasses perched on his nose as if you're outside and the sun is shining.

But it isn't. It's raining and you're stuck with Gojo at the front of this convenience store. And you could feel his stare on your head, what other choice do you have but to slowly turn in his direction? If you didn't face him eventually, he would have just stepped in front of you, this situation is inevitable. Everything is inevitable with him. For some reason, he seems to get whatever he wants. And now he wants to annoy you, it seems. His grin already comfortable on his face, and you could almost see his bright eyes twinkle with mischief at whatever he had planned.

"Hm, why are you waiting? It's only some rain," he asks with put-on innocence, acting like he doesn't know the answer. Who wants to get rained on? You're not in the mood to just walk under the rain with no umbrella.

So you snort, slightly sneering in response, not saying a word. You won't give him the satisfaction of responding in any way, because no matter what you say, he will know how to rile you up, with his grin wrapping itself like a Cheshire grin.

"Aw, don't tell me you're made of sugar? Are you gonna melt as soon as you step into the rain?" he continues his teasing with a purr, hitting that sore spot he's always aware of. Because of course, you're not strong compared to him, but you're trying your best!

And you can't believe you let him crawl under your skin as you leave this safe space, stomping through the rain, if only to make him shut up. Despite your abrupt leave, he manages to catch up with you pretty fast, his long strides settling into a slower pace than yours.

You're planning on ignoring him when he takes your hand in his, slightly speeding up and dragging you behind him until he could swing you into a circle, spinning you under the rain, and letting you slowly turn, so that both of your arms are fully straightened. With another pull he grabs your other hand, starting to just whirl in circles, his steps nimble and graceful while you stumble behind him, trying to keep up, lest you fall on your face.

Before you lose yourself in this activity, you come back to your senses, letting that sneaking smile slip off of your face, and begin to slow the pace down, until you're both facing each other, in a stand-still. And he grins at you, full with mirth.

"Wasn't that fun?" he leans slightly down to get a better view of your expression, and that's when you realize.

This bastard is dry as a raisin, the water droplets simply glide off infinity, not touching him. And you're soaking wet, the rain gladly taking space between the fabric and your skin.

So you don't answer him but leave him alone in the rain, trying to forget about the way your heart had thumped between your ribs.
