Gave me a big smile

Marinette walked into class with a big smile the most biggest smile that Lila had  ever seen which made her blood boiled ,even when the day went on with her lies getting her class to dislike her more and more and many other things Marinette continues to smile. It was starting to get a bit creepy after the school day Marinette continues to smile.

"Hey what's up with Marinette?"

"I don't know she seem to be more happier than usual."

"Its kind of creepy."

Lila heard her fellow class mates say

Yes it was creepy not kind of but full on creepy. It made her feel uneasy.

"Mom! I'm going out for a walk. I be right back!" Lila called out

"Okay sweetie!"

With that Lila left the city of Paris was beautiful at night she signed taking a deep breath as she walked she was thinking about what kind of lie to tell to the class tomorrow oh something about prince Ali she hummed at the thought. Than she stopped she turned around to see no one "hel- hello?" Lila stuttered Softly she turned back to continue her walk but it was getting very difficult for her she felt like she was being watched her walking started to become faster and faster but before she knew it she was running. She don't know how long she ran for but she didn't care she ran until she was out of breath she looked around for some where to hind until she found a alleyway she quickly went into it. She took  a long deep breath before looking around the corner seeing no one she turned to be face to face with a smiling Marinette, Lila screamed falling down "oh what wrong Lila aren't you happy to see me?" Marinette said stepping forward to Lila who taken a step back in the first time in a day Marinette frowned but her frown soon turned upside down "well I will  make you happy!"

Lila screamed

The next morning Marinette came to school with a smile, walking into class sitting in her seat everyone said good morning to her and she said good morning back. Today was a good day her day got even better when Ms. bustier said that Lila had went missing last night.

i miss online spaces. i miss roleplay servers and talking about our fav characters, shows, ocs, i miss making a new character to go with a friends bc i got so excited about their concept and creativity, i miss having rp accounts and playing pretend and making new friends bc of it, i want to experience the excitement of the possibility of meeting an internet friend at a con for the first time just bc of coincidence

how do i, as an adult, find safe spaces like this for adults? bc im not a kid anymore. this stuff isnt cool for adults, and it really sucks & has been making me BIG sad.

its all drama and discourse nowadays and it's exhausting. where did the times of wholesome fun having go? why is everybody so mean and angry or the only thing they care about is "reach"? i dont get it.

vulnerability and reassurance

[ID: Sketches of Robin and Franky from One Piece, post time skip. Franky and Robin sit on the floor and Robin rests her cheek on his chest while he tries to lightly pull her close. He says: "I uh. Sorry. I'm not good for cuddlin' Unless you like cozying up next to a refrigerator. Are you really comfortable like that?" Robin looks up at him and responds: "It's okay, Franky. I'm perfectly comfortable. I feel... safe here like this with you." /END ID]

PORTER ROBINSON — CHEERLEADER

Serirei Week !!

Day 3: firsts/love languages

Reigen finds himself speechless (rare occasion)

continuation below but it's written form !! ↓↓

Serizawa gave him a slight nod, his face unreadable but tense. He gently directed Reigen towards the couches and sat him down. Wordlessly sitting beside him, he opened the first aid kit and rummaged through it.

Reigen watches in cautious silence, eyeing his coworker's rigid movements. The cloth he used to temporarily cover the large scratch left by the spirit was starting to itch. He slowly untied the knot with his uninjured hand and peeled off the blood-soaked makeshift bandage. It was drying off, but it still looked terrible. Four large gashes across his forearm, it almost looks like a scratch from a big cat.

Serizawa shifting closer brought Reigen's attention back to him. Their eyes met for a second before Serizawa looked down at his arm with a wince. Guilt evident on his face as he wet a towel with water and started to wipe off the blood with the lightest touch he could manage. Reigen swallowed the lump in his throat, the tense silence was getting to him so he spoke up.

"This could be part of your training, you know." He lightly joked, shrugging with his unoccupied shoulder. "It's important to know first aid, especially in our line of work." Serizawa's eyebrows furrowed as a frown formed on his face, but didn't take his eyes off his work, nor did he say anything back. As soon as the blood that smeared was gone, he grabbed the disinfectant and a cotton ball.

It was gonna sting, Reigen already knew that, but he still felt his heart flutter when Serizawa glanced up at him with a sorry look and muttered, "This might sting..."

Reigen didn't miss the way Serizawa was holding his hand with his free hand. He didn't miss the way his thumb was soothing the back of his palm with light strokes. He didn't miss the way he could feel the warmth radiating off of Serizawa's body just from how close they were sitting. Reigen felt himself gulp, not sure if it was in preparation for the pain, or to force himself back to retain his composure.

He let out a small hiss and a wince, before letting it dissipate quickly upon seeing Serizawa's face look more like a kicked puppy. He knows the man felt guilty for not arriving quick enough to prevent the spirit from hurting Reigen further. It wasn't his fault though. He can't blame Serizawa, not when he looked this sorry.

Gentle, flitting hands finally wrapped the wound in a bandage and secured it carefully. When it was done, Serizawa didn't move away, but instead let his hand rest on the wrapped arm, slowly rubbing his thumb against it like it would help heal the wound faster. It might, Reigen could hope. He could hope that this moment lasts. He looked up at Serizawa with a soft look, hoping that his message came across. Please.

Serizawa looked up at Reigen's eyes with the same level of fondness. Despite what he feels, it still scares Reigen, to see someone look at him like that. He's scared of seeing it often that he'll get attached to it, attached to the fondness, attached to feeling loved.

He almost felt himself jump when Serizawa gently held his hand up and pressed Reigen's palm against his lips with closed eyes. It's like his heart stopped, his breath hitching as he inhaled sharply.

This seemed to wake Serizawa from whatever trance he was in and pulled away, his face flushed red. His gaze landed everywhere except Reigen's as he cleared his throat and gathered up the used cotton balls and the bloodied washcloth. "I'll, uhm, throw these away. I'll grab some ice for your neck.. and make you some green tea in a bit..." He paused, sparing Reigen a glance and assessing his state.

"I'm glad you're okay, Reigen.." Serizawa spoke again, then escaped to the restroom to clean his hands off. Reigen sat there staring at his palm, dumbfounded and speechless.

it’s like baby gorl there’s no way I, the author who wrote the fic you’re commenting on and who is the intended audience for this comment, am gonna agree with you 😿🙏 some things can just stay on your chest 🙏

[fixyourwritinghabits]

Good news, heard back from my agent! She had many lovely and encouraging things to say!

Bad news, I have one more round of edits to do, so the inside of my brain will now resemble this gif instead of being helpful. Fun!

random note about king on that animation, i got really lucky with how simple his animation was and how clean my sketches were to begin with that i was able to do very minimal cleanup on what i had sketched (and add back. his horn. it's supposed to take place just after echoes of the past, Oops) and call it done that way instead of having to redraw the entire thing like i had to on his dad

first sketch > line cleanup > nearly final animation (i'd added slight eye movements last-second but otherwise that's the final)

Hi, how is college fairing?

it's been a little frustrating but otherwise mostly alright, thanks for asking! hope you're having a nice dayyy

[disastrous-table]

Just a tiny sneak peak on what I’m winging at rn. Just to help me get back into writing again and because I was inspired!!

Note: since this isn’t very planned out there will most likely have plot holes and might not make much sense. That might also be because I’ve been in such a burnout with writing for almost half a year or more.

I decided to make a wordgirl fancomic, and this is how it's beginning! Well, not really, since I'm still working on issue one, but this was a practice thing I made a while ago and I liked how it turned out, so I figured why not post it here? It's not exactly canon to the story but it's something that's plausible.

I'm proud of the flow (even tho when gunner and tobey talk at the end it kind of disrupts it) and the fact that I succeeded at making a good background. I'll have to keep practicing them, since this took me too long to be sustainable for a comic. But I'm sure I can do it.

Steve coming in his Jean will giving reader head :)

just the mere thought of eating you out has his dick straining against his jeans, god for it actually eating you out and he’s so into it.

i feel like some exaggerate when they say “makes out with your pussy”, but when it comes to steve it’s not the slightest exaggeration at all. he quite literally makes out with your pussy. it’s the middle of the summer, his air conditioning is humming in the background, that humming being paired with the slight smacking of his mouth against your now slick cunt. your bottom half completely naked and top half only covered in n a fitted wife beater, no bra of course because it’s way too hot. and steve is the opposite, top half exposing his bare, freckled chest and his bottom half covered with a pair of gym shorts.

at first he’s slow, taking his time with making you feel good he’s usually NEVER in a rush, especially in moments like this. truly drinking you all in, the thin layer of sweat already creating a musk air around you two, the way your hips naturally roll wherever his mouth goes like a magnet, the shift in your breathing, does nothing but spur him on. he briefly pauses the continuous lapping against your clit to get a good look at you, just wants to see you squirm a little. gives him an ego boost.

his eyes are warm, face completely relaxed. he doesn’t say anything he just silently opens his palms, gesturing for you to lock your fingers around his. he gets a glimpse of the promise ring he bought you a few years ago and something about seeing it now under this dim lighting, with you in this position has him grinding his hips against his mattress. he places a kiss to you hip bone and can’t help but grin when you shift your hips with a breathy whine.

“what? are you gettin impatient?” his voice is almost as low as a whisper, his warm words tickle against you skin causing you a whine his name. he takes the hint with a playful roll of his eyes before almost abruptly latching his lips around your clit. your breath hitches, going back to rolling your hips against his face.

his pace is a little quicker this time, head rolling around as his mouth gets slicker and sloppier. going from licking long strides from your hole to your clit to simply suckling your nub nonstop. you heavy panting is forming into high pitched yet airy moans. meanwhile the strain against his dick is causing him a painful pleasure, hips already fucking himself deeper and deeper into the sheets beneath him. you notice the clench and unclench of his ass, the sight tickles you a bit with a giggle and he can’t help but chuckle back because he knows exactly what you’re laughing at.

“so who’s impatient again?”

Some of the posts I see here y'all gotta stop seeing fanfics as "bad dc takes". Like, it's perfectly fine to not like a trope that's popular in fanfic, but you gotta stop seeing it as character meta is what I'm saying. Fanfic writers are not canon writers, they do not owe you canon compliant, and you don't get to assume that what they're writing comes from a place of ignorance when there are so many reasons to include/not include something in your fic.

Like, allow me to use my own fics as example since they're the only one I have background info on the knowledge and motivations of the author:

-I wrote a fic with Lazarus Rage in it once. Do I know it's not canon? Absolutely. Do I think it's necessary for the understanding of Jason's character? Not at all, I think canon Jason is more interesting without the pit rage. I just wanted to write it once because it looked cathartic and you know what? It was. It was super cathartic. I wanted to write a story about the progression of a depressive episodes and using pit rage to talk about the feeling of loss of control with intense anger issues and sensation of loss and deep self-hatred afterwards, and i thought writing this is gonna feel good and it felt good, for me and for the readers.

-I'm also currently finishing another fic, in which I've simplified Tim's relationship with Jason's a lot (basically Tim is still haunted by Jason's ghost and Dick is still his favourite Robin but the victim blaming is much less intense and there's an intense, genuine admiration for Jason and happiness to get him back). Is it because I hate canon and its complexity? No, I love it, I love when character relationships are fucked up and they make a mess. I'd love to explore that in a different fic, even have the prompt already. But I'm writing a really intense fic about trauma, taboo and lack of communication around sexual abuse, and there are so many characters pov and things happening and I have to do this right because we're talking about things that happen to real people and not being accidentally insensitive or sending a shit message is more important to me than perfect canon compliance, and it's just not the place for it. This story isn't about tim, and it's not about victim-blaming. It's a fascinating can of worms to open, but I'm not gonna open it if I don't have the space to deal with it because I'm not gonna let worms roam freely all over my fanfic when I can choose not to include the worms in my story, because it might rely on base material but it's still a finite story that exists within its own scope because I'm not a comics writer, I'm a fanfic writer and my story doesn't exist as a pure extension of the comics and I don't owe you canon compliance. And how boring would that be if we could only write canon compliant stuff! No more coffee shop aus, no powers aus, fantasy aus, no more non canon ships between characters that hated eachother until the day they died (but had so much sexual tension)... Fanfic is not one single entity that takes place in a simplified version of the canon universe complete with consistent lukewarm tropes and watered down understanding of characters. Fanfics are rich and diverse and yeah canon compliant is great and i want more of it but the universe is so much wider and that's what makes it rich! Do some people write fanfic and also don't interact with or know canon? Sure, plenty of them. Does that fanfic reflect their opinion of canon? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. You don't know that. In the meantime, people are still creating extra content and enriching the fandom experience and if you don't like it, genuinely, the filter tags button is right there. That's not to say there are no racist or classist or sexist tropes in fanfics, but again that exists within the scope of that story. Bad writing exists in canon, and it exists in fanfics, and sometimes a story is canon compliant with a terrible message and sometimes a story is canon divergent with a terrible message and pushing away everyone who writes things that aren't canon compliant is not going to fix these issues in the dc fandom. Telling people to "not write the character at all if you're going to write them ooc" assumes your understanding of what is essential to the character is perfect and The Right Way to interact with a fandom and it's patronising and not only do you take the risk of looking like a moron the second you make a mistake, it is actual gatekeeping and the reason many people find getting into comics/fandom intimidating in the first place. (And it also shits on the potential of AUs like dark reflections, mafia etc. Of course Mafia Bruce who kills people is deeply ooc. These stories are still fun and it's not wrong to write them!)

"This story really should have addressed that thing that happens in canon" did it happen in the setting of the fic? No? Then shut up and let the fic tell its own story, it doesn't have to "address" anything it doesn't have space for. Again, don't like don't read is a thing. Fanfic enriches the fandom, it doesn't take away from it, but you know what can? Canon writing. I'm way more concerned with what dc is having batman represent nowadays than with fanfic I haven't read because I knew I wouldn't like it.

TLDR: It's understandable to be upset when people who don't interact with canon material at all try to assert their opinion on canon as the truth, especially if they call any attempt at disagreeing with the mischaracterization gatekeeping, but that doesn't make you immune to being a gatekeeper. Assuming you know a writer's knowledge and opinions on a character because of that one fic of them is naive and a misunderstanding of what fanfic is. Fanfic writers are still real people who give you cool stuff for free and you don't have to like it but you still have to be respectful about it, and all that negative energy you spend on rants about "bad character and" you've read in fanfics would be so much better spent on bad canon writing because these people do have the power to fuck your favourite character over and they do owe you canon compliance, and with the amount of effort some fanfic writers put into their fics compared to some of the writers who get payed to write canon, you guys could stand to be more respectful about fanfics.
