Happy 29th Anniversary Pinky and The Brain!!!

One of the absolute best spin-offs of all time and one of my favorite shows period! Pinky and The Brain (the show) aired its first episode "Das Mouse" on September 9, 1995 (btw it's a really good episode). For those who've seen me, you know how absolutely insane I am about the mice and to think they're approaching their 30th birthday next year is crazy. This little show is such an incredible treasure trove of laughs, legitimate emotions, fun storylines, and gayness (to me at least). While I do love Animaniacs, this show managed to make a seemingly repetitive format and turn it into a wonderful show that has stuck with me and so many others. These two have had such a profound impact on my life and I couldn't imagine where I'd be without them. Here's to twenty nine more years of Pinky and Brain cuteness!!!!!

Donald kisses Daisy Duck - Donsy - The Legend of The Three Caballeros - My redraw - Duckverse

I drew this on July 12th.

After a long time I drew again my favorite couple Donsy (the love couple between Donald and Daisy) and this time I decided to redraw scenes from the end of the penultimate episode of Shangri-La-Di-Da"" underrated series "The Legend of The Three Caballeros" and that's when Donald kissed Daisy on the beak and told her "I'm going to my destiny!" or "To my destiny!" in front of Baron von Sheldgoose's house or the New Quackmore Institute. Yes, Donald had to help his best friends the Caballeros (Jose Carioca and Panchito Pistoles) and the goddess Xandra in the fight against Baron von Sheldgoose and his ancestor Lord Felldrake who want to destroy and turn the world into chaos. Donald left Daisy with Ari the Aracuan Bird and Humphrey the Bear. What will happen in the end remains to be seen in this great series. Yes, I'm aware that Daisy had bad moments and treated Donald badly, but still after they were at the Himalayan Spa, their relationship changed for the better and Daisy had some good moments in that series. If that series had more episodes and lasted longer, maybe they would have gotten a focus on Daisy Duck. Also this kiss is my favorite moment, it's like it's from a movie. So I drew this as my redraw from that scene, in my own way. Thanks to Matt Danner and all the people who worked on this. On June 7, 1940, Donald’s classic short “Mr Duck Steps Out” was shown, featuring Daisy Duck for the first time. 9/6/1934 The Classic Short “The Wise Little Hen” was shown and Donald Duck appeared there for the first time. Donald Duck will become one of the main stars of not only Disney, but also cartoon films, comics and video games at all. Certainly there is no need to tell his history. I mention this because even though it passed, it is definitely one of my favorite Disney series that I have watched and enjoyed. I hope you like this.

I hope you like this drawing and feel free to like and reblog this, just don't copy these same ideas of mine without mentioning me and without my permission. Thank you! Also this is a gift for my friend who adores this love couple, dear @barbiedisneyavenger, @barbiedisneyavenger-reblog and for all of you who love this couple. And happy late birthday to Daisy Duck and especially Donald Duck, who turned 90 this year!

Now introducing the prompt list for Whumpmas in July 2023! 

Thank you for patiently waiting! We will be implementing a couple of new changes! We will not be reblogging any creations this year and will instead keep this blog as a space to only post the prompts, tags, and relevant information. We will post the tag for each day, and we ask that you use two tags when filling prompts this year so that others may find your creations easily:  Tag 1 ---> #wij23day__ (Fill in the blank with the appropriate day number for the prompt you are filling! For example, if you are doing the prompt for day 21, make sure to tag your post with #wij23day21. Of course, feel free to use any other relevant tags too!)

This list provides a preview of the prompts, but on each day a more detailed post will be released with more context and additional suggestions for each day’s task. Similar to previous years, all prompts and other important information will be found under the #infowhumpmasinjuly tag and #infowij23 for ease of access. This blog will also use the tags #wijquestion , #wijcommunity , and #wijprompt respectively for each post so that you can filter and find the type of prompts you’d like to do.

[nalyra-dreaming]

Hey,

Feel free to ignore if not an interesting question! But before we get into the finale where I imagine many emotions may arise and there may be many new things to add, I wonder if you have any favourite moments from S2 so far and/or any things that have surprised you?

And anyone in comments or reblogs - I'd love to hear this from anyone!

If anyone's interested, for me here are some things I have loved:

Armand. Assad's Armand has been even more glorious than I could have imagined. Armand is my second favourite character in the books and I honestly did not think it was possible that Armand could be elevated even beyond how much I love book-Armand, but Assad has achieved that! Episode 4 and 5 especially I was just speechless afterwards how incredible Assad is.

DreamStat. I have absolutely adored DreamStat. I did not miss Lestat in episodes 1-5 AT ALL because I adored DreamStat so much and because even if the DreamStat in an episode was only 30 seconds, it was always 30 seconds of 100% emotion. I loved how they used DreamStat to convey feelings; to convey Louis' internal world and experience and subconscious, to covey Loustat's love and connection and to express vampiric longing and transgressive thoughts, feelings and emotions. Absolutely adored it. Ironically, the episodes I missed Lestat in most this season were E3, which he was in the most but I found Armands storytime-Lestat too unnerving... and obviously E6 as he wasn't in it bar 2 seconds!

Claudeleine. Oh my: Madeleine and Claudeleine were both written utterly perfectly. Madeleine, again, I feel so much more from than book-Madeleine and she was simply exquisite.

E5 - A Masterpiece.

The music. The piece that opened S2E1 - Imagine Never Being Able to Dream remains my favourite so far from this season (I haven't listened to the S2 score yet so there may be some new thing I love more in E8 I have yet to hear.) When I first watched E1 I was so moved by this piece I had to watch the first 10/15 minutes of the episode... it was at least 3 times over as I couldn't even focus on what Louis and Claudia were saying, I was so moved by the music.

I've been surprised they haven't resolved everything, or at least more things with memory. I thought memories would be (pretty much, if not entirely) resolved by the end of S2 and from S3 on that we'd be working in (relative) truths. I also thought the stuff with memory would be a lot more to do with Louis and Daniel uncovering their own true memories. For example I was surprised that some memory revisits were part of the trial as opposed to Louis' perspective. We did do some of that in E5 of course, but that felt only the beginning to me.

Hey!

I actually concur with a lot of what you listed here ;)

Especially Assad‘s Armand… and the memories-in-Dubai thing. I had expected it to be a lot more uncovering for Louis and Daniel as well, but I can see it why they didn’t. Still, as said before, I would have preferred a slightly different season setup (with more time to actually resolve things before it ends).

I do love that Claudia and Madeleine got a proper arc. You feel for them. I also love the OST and my personal favorite piece of it will come up still 😏 I did not think Loumand would go that dark, and I don’t think there’s much chance of reconciliation once it breaks in Dubai tbh. But… we’ll see. I loved DreamStat being Louis‘ inner voice and I also find e3 weird… I adore the harlequin Lestat though, even if only a fanfic 😅 Santiago was so much more than I had anticipated and I loved how they made the… labyrinthian… depths.. :) of coven life clear.

I did not like them doing Merrick in SF, and I have already written a few notes on it all for an after-the-season post. But we’ll see if they pick it up in the last ep.

So these are my thoughts (for now^^) - anyone want to chime in?;))

[reader6898]

Slow

Pairing: Hunter x female reader

Summary: You and Omega were taken by Hemlock. Now, you're back with both Omega and Crosshair safe and sound. You and your husband, Hunter, finally get some alone time after being separated for so long. The two of you decide to take it slow

Warning: 18+ (no minors please) angst, fluff, reassuring, oral (female receiving), p in v (wrap it up folks), bit of cockwarming, slow love making, multiple orgasms, aftercare

A/n: This has spoilers so if I tagged you and you haven't seen the latest episodes yet feel free to skip over. Also, I'm not tagging everyone that I usually tag as I don't know who has and hasn't seen any of the episodes. If you did and I didn't tag you feel free to read and reblog

You were lying in bed reading when Hunter comes into the bedroom. He sighs as he starts to get ready for bed and you look up at him over the top of the book. "Did Omega get to sleep okay?" Hunter didn't say anything for a moment before answering. "It took a while but yes. She went down just fine. For now." Ever since you, Omega, and Crosshair made it back to Hunter and Wrecker after escaping from Mount Tantiss it's been difficult to adjust to everything.

You knew that Hunter worked overtime to get you and Omega back from the empire to the point that he was exhausted. Afterwards, when all of you reunited Hunter had just held you close to make sure that you were real and that he wasn't just dreaming. Since then it was all that the two of you did at night and that was all. He didn't even want to be physical. All Hunter wanted was to hold you close and never let you again. That was until tonight though when earlier you wore his favorite dress to dinner and he could feel himself become aroused. He had to sit through the entire dinner with a hard on and once everyone dispersed to mingle among one another Hunter had gone off and relieved himself. After that he knew that he couldn't wait any longer to make you his once again.

Hunter finished getting ready and once he came back in from the fresher you had already put your book away for the night. You made grabby hands at Hunter and he chuckled as he climbed in next to you and he hovered above you. You pulled him closer to you and wrapped your arms around Hunter's neck a little bit. "Hi." "Cyar'ika." Hunter set his forehead on yours and you laid there like that for quite sometime. Hunter didn't want to rush things and neither did you despite it having been so long since you were last intimate with each other.

Hunter eventually pulled away and looked down at you. After a couple of weeks of you being reunited with each other he still couldn't believe that you were with him again. Hunter set a hand on your cheek and you leaned into his touch. Hunter leans down again and hovers his lips above yours for a minute before kissing you. You parted your mouth as you moaned and Hunter took this opportunity to stick his tongue into your mouth. The kissing turned into a heated make out session as your tongues fought for dominance. Hunter pulled on your lower lip with his teeth and you ground yourself against his growing hard on. "Hunter..." Hunter kissed your neck as he started to leave little love bites and hickies while he hitched up your nightgown to feel you some more. Hunter went lower to pay attention to your breasts and you arched your back as he licked a nipple through the material of the gown. He lowered the straps from your shoulders and he worshipped your breasts as he licked, nipped, and sucked at them. By this point your panties were completely soaked and you wanted nothing more for your husband to be naked and buried deep inside of you.

You pushed him away a little and you sat up to remove your nightgown so all you were left in was your underwear. Once you were done you laid back down and Hunter was on top of you again. He kissed you on the lips then made his way down to where you wanted him. Hunter spread your legs wide open and settles himself down in between them. You were completely soaked and Hunter loved it. He took a big wiff of your arousal and groaned. It's been too long since he's tasted you. Hunter hooks his fingers under the straps and slowly removes your underwear. He threw them somewhere on the floor and sets himself back down in between your legs. The sight before him was something that he'll commit to memory. You were glistening and all of it was for him. Hunter started slowly by kissing your inner thighs and making his way back to your pussy. He lightly kissed and licked around you as you laid there and you smiled down at him a little. "Hunter, you-oh kriff." Hunter licked your clit and you set a hand on the side of his head. Hunter licked your clit a few more times before digging in. Hunter groaned again at the taste of you and he licked, sucked, and nipped at you while grinding his hard cock into the bed. A couple of times his nose brushed up against your clit and it had you pulling on his hair. "Hunter, please..." You ground yourself against his nose and it brought on your sudden orgasm. Hunter helped you ride it out with his mouth as he cleaned you up and after you came back down from your high Hunter kissed your inner thighs a few more times before pulling away. He wiped your arousal from his face and stood up to take off his pants. His cock sprung up as it was released from it's confines and you could see a bead of precum had formed from him grinding into the mattress.

Hunter lies back down and he sets himself in between you once again. He lines himself up with your entrance and strokes himself a few times on your entrance before slowly pushing forward and entering you. The two of you groan as it's been a while since you last had sex so it was a foreign feeling to both of you. Hunter slowly pulls out while leaving the tip in then slowly inches back in. He does this until you were used him being inside of you once again and once he was sure that you would be okay he bottoms out until he was all the way inside of you. It felt good to be this close and intimate once again. The two of you lie there like that as you hold Hunter close while he looks at you. Hunter could stay like this forever: not moving and you keeping him warm. All of a sudden Hunter became overwhelmed with emotions and he sobbed as tears fell from his eyes.

You pulled Hunter close as tears formed in your eyes as well and you held him in your arms. "I'm not going anywhere, my love." Hunter tightened his grip on you and buried his nose in your hair. The closeness of you combined with your scent grounded him and Hunter never wanted to forget it ever again. Hunter moved his head and kissed you on the lips. He started to move and the two of you slowly made love to one another. Hunter places his forehead on yours and both of you look deep into each others eyes as he moved in and out of you. You wrapped your legs around Hunter's waist and he pulls you even closer to him. Hunter slowly hits all the right places and you moan as Hunter places his head next to yours on the pillow. You bit the lobe of his ear as you grind your clit against Hunter's pelvis and you cry along with Hunter that turns into another moan. "Hunter..", you whisper. "I'm so close." Hunter groaned and buried a hand in your hair at the same time that you did with his.

With a few more thrusts you came on Hunter's cock and a few seconds later Hunter was coming as well and spilling himself inside of you. The two of you ride out your orgasms together and afterwards when you came down from your highs the two of you lied there and held on another. The two of you stayed like that for sometime and after what seemed like forever Hunter slowly pulls out his softening cock and sets himself next to you. He stroked your hair as he moved a few strands out of your face and he places a quick peck on your lips before getting up and heading to the fresher. Hunter starts a bath for the two of you and once it was to his liking he came back into the room and scooped you up in his arms. He walked the two of you back into the fresher and gently set you down in the bath tub. You moved forward and made room for Hunter who sets himself behind you. Once he was situated Hunter pulled you back into his arms and you set your back against his chest. The two of you gently washed each other and enjoyed the intimacy of it all.

When the water started to get cold Hunter got out first and then helped you out of the tub. He grabbed a towel and helped dry you off then you did the same. Once you were done Hunter wrapped the towel around you and took your hand in his. He brought you back into the bedroom and you sat down in front of your vanity. Hunter blow dried your hair and while you were brushing it out Hunter stripped the bed and put on fresh sheets. After the two of you were done you got back into bed and Hunter pulled you close. "I love you, Hunter." Hunter kisses you then looks down at your beautiful face. "I love you too, cyare."

The fight wasn't over yet. But whatever happens the two of you will be together always and forever

Bellamy Blake Appreciation week 2023

Hey, folks! As usually this time of the year, we're organizing Bellamy Blake appreciation week!

This time it'll take place from December 11th-December 17th!

You can tag your creations with #bbaw23 and we'll make sure to reblog them!

Here are the prompts for each day! Of course, you're free to create anything you like if you don't feel like a certain prompt works for you!

Day 1: Favorite season-last year we tried favorite episode but we thought this year you could pick the saeson where you loved Bellamy the most! Of course you can pick more than one or all of them if you just feel like it!

Day 2: Favorite character trait-we all know our boy had amazing character traits, whether it's bravery, selflessness, hero-complex, being a hothead and so on, so pick whichever one you love the most!

Day 3: Favorite sibling moment-here, the focus is obviously on the Blake's relationship because we think it's worth to create more about it. Pick a favorite moment between Octavia and Bellamy and if you're not feeling that, you're free to choose another Bellamy + the delunquents dynamic. He was after all a big brother to them all in a way!

Day 4: Favorite comfort/soft moment- We all know Bellamy was good at helping others, talking them through hard moments and being there for them but we thought we'd turn this around. Who comforted Bellamy the best? What was your favorite moment when he leaned on someone else and talked about his feelings or what he was going through? Doesn't have to be a full scene, could just be a soft moment you found lovely.

Day 5: Favorite Rebel!Bellamy-of course this is tribute to season 1 Rebel!Bell phase but it doesn't have to be just about that. He had plenty of moments where he disagreed passionately with the other characters in the rest of the seasons too.

Day 6: Favorite Head!Bellamy moment-we've done favorite heart!Bellamy but we decided to spruce things up a bit this year and challenge you to find your favorite moment where he used his head! That doesn't mean residing only to season 5 or 6. Bellamy has always been smart and using his head even in earlier seasons, so chose whatever you feel like it!

Day 7: Free day-You can make a lyrics gif, favorite relationship gif, underrated moment or just a perfect shot of Bellamy that you think more people should have to watch on a loop on your perfect gifs and enjoy! Once again, anything you feel like doing!

[noahvember]

Hello everyone! We're about two weeks out from the start of Noahvember. Today, we're going to give you some inspiration for Day 5, our ship-centered day! Obviously, these prompts are more geared towards ship-related content, but feel free to take them anyway you would like. You are more than welcome to have ship-related content for the rest of the week as well.

Before we go over some Noah-related ships, we'd like to remind everyone that this event does not tolerate ship hate. We encourage all ships here (so long as they aren't minor/adult, incest, etc). Please do not engage in ship discourse during this week. We're all here to have fun!

Onto some ships! 🚢

Noah/Cody

I think this a ship most Total Drama fans are introduced to pretty early on! From the sleep kiss in Total Drama Island to the sausage incident in World Tour, there's plenty of moments were the two are oddly paired against each other. Do all these sleep cuddling incidents mean something more? That's up to you!

Noah/Alejandro

This ship has gained popularity over the past couple of years, especially in part due to fics like Slippery Slopes. Noah and Alejandro share plenty of moments together in World Tour, matching in intelligence and wit. The London episode leaves lots of room for interpretation. Is this the start of an enemies-to-lovers relationship?

Noah/Emma

Our canon Noah ship! The two meet in Ridonculous Race, setting up Noah's first canon relationship. They match in intelligence, but Emma seems to have far more drive than Noah. This complicated relationship leads to some struggles during RR. This season shows what Noah's truly like when he falls in love!

Noah/Owen

While not as popular as other ships, this one definitely has some of the most screentime! An unlikely friendship formed between the two, even leading to them competing together on Ridonculous Race. While the show plays it out to be platonic, it's very easy to see these two as a couple.

These are just some of the fandom's popular Noah ships! We definitely encourage you to try some that aren't listed. We're super excited for Noahvember. Reminder to check our pinned post and FAQ for more details. Our inbox is also open for any questions you may have! If you reblog, maybe share your favorite Noah ship with us!

[show-us-kaidenshenandoah]

one of the worst things about re-runs on cable is that sometimes youll see a random episode that you remember, decide "eh, sure" to watching, and one of the details you were ignorant to before now (but not anymore) now haS A SEVERELY DIFFERENT MEANING to the point it makes you do a spit-take

anyway. feel free to share your recent "eYO WHAT" moment of At Least I Know Now; I May Be Shocked But I Cannot Blame Myself For What I Did Not Know That I Didn't Know Before regarding re-watching a piece of media that had some small or big pillar within your life (cable or not, tv show or not). would love to know other people's so i feel less inattentive for having entirely forgotten this or forgot to process this or whatever the most apt term is

i'll go first:

my parents have been watching various cop-shows of the Not-Comedic variety (meaning no "Psych" and no "Brooklyn-99", boo), and the tangential (fireman-shows, paramedics, forensics, etc) and/or their spin-offs, since i was like... 7 years old at the youngest? before i was in middle-school at any rate

and for a long fucking time (for good reason, look how many fucking episodes there are), their favorite go-to was "NCIS". the original one with Gibbs, not one of the spin-offs

and bc i had Muslim friends online, a few in my middle and high school classes, and a few also irl outside of school (who were also kind enough to teach me, which they didn't have to do; but i was very privileged that they did), i was at least moderately aware this show had a ton of loudly rampant anti-Muslim/anti-Middle East/etc propaganda. that's who The Big Bad tended to be. which is frustrating. but it was way harder for it to brainwash me as id inwardly groan that "i dont know enough about this topic to be an expert in any way, but i do know this show is so Islamophobic that i wouldn't be surprised if they made this vitriol up". so i do want to mention that is a very huge Problem Area here

so i knew this huge problem existed in the show. i knew i had blind-spots. but i thought i had a good general awareness of all the propaganda in "NCIS"

...i did not. otherwise, i wouldn't have an "i'll go first" to go first with

bc i always remembered that Ziva David was Jewish, but i never memorized nor before had the context to process what it meant that she was an Israeli Jewish person

bc, since the late 1800s to the early 1900s, Israel has been trying to colonize Palestine and actively commit genocide to the indigenous inhabitants of the lands that were once Palestine, killing Palestinians of all faiths, including Jewish and Muslim Palestinians. so. that detail about Ziva does inform her character, the narrative's message, and makes it all the more obvious what kind of propaganda this show is. bc. uh. i knew i should never trust "NCIS" beforehand bc of its Islamophobic propaganda. did not realize a sizable chunk of that was also in a venn-diagram style overlap with Zionism. wow. okay

and furthermore!! apparently! even though it is 2024!!! and both protestors and allies alike are doing their best to keep Palestine in the news as a ton of people try to fund more Palestinian families to get out of danger!! — it's JUST been announced the networks newest installment within the "NCIS" Connected Universes will be the Paramount+ exclusive spin-off "NCIS: Tony & Ziva". and i am absolutely not going to tell my parents about said annoucement bc wtf

(which anybody who wants to maybe Reblog/Reply/send an Ask to say "that's so mean of you to do your parents": shut the fuck up. alright? focus up. talk shit in meaningful ways instead, like to help donate to Palestinian families in need. okay? okay.)

anyway

(1) uh, sure, feel free to eventually boycott "NCIS: Tony & Ziva" when it comes out, but this show won't be dropping for a while and a half. sO PAY MORE ATTENTION TO THE MORE-PRESSING AND TIME-SENSITIVE THINGS BELOW PLS AND THANKS 🤗💗💕

and (2) feel free to reblog and potentially share your own "eYO WHAT" Didn't Know Back Then What I Didn't Know re-watch stories to better help engage with this post through the tumblr algorithim (all the better if youre funnier than me (shouldnt be hard lol) tho a comedic story isn't a necessity for engaging) and get these Palestinian families Go-Fund-Me accounts in front of people who can afford to donate

and (3)!! i looked for the most recent Go Fund Me link-collection post ive reblogged to have copied down into this post (as someone whose disabilities and lack of wealth means the best i can consistently do is reblog here/repost on tiktok, spread awareness in my irl life, and so on. i irregularly use social media due to how drained my disability + doctor appts make me. i am doing this purely to see if it can help, i do not want attention or to be used as a resource when i cannot reliably be one with my current health situation. instead of me, please go follow (and donate to!!) these families and follow this user to keep the cycle of information and aid going!!)

under the read-more is me just Knowing The Internet Can Be Toxic and having further context (about my family + "NCIS") can help curb a few people somewhat. at least it gives me "the autistic sense of peace knowing i have fully explained myself"(TM) so i can more clearly go "that's an unproductive response of pure Bad Faith. blocked". however, i didn't want this post to be longer than it is so as itd have a better chance at ✨️engagement✨️ and $$$ if its not a # Long Post

here's my list of things that clarify some context of this post, but overall dont matter. and also adding any of them Above The Read More would make people less likely to interact and reblog than i already assume people will (bc i dont got a lot of followers lmao c'est la vie, long as i did my best to help), as people either hesitate to reblog or dont reblog Long Posts. so these were all originally a part of the Above The Read More narrative before i thought it overall better to move them down here since i already did not wanna delete them entirely

sorry for any misspellings, im dyslexic and am writing this casually from my phone

like it wasn't until the past 5 or 6 years that my parents got sick of re-watching the "NCIS" re-runs on cable? and i'm 27 as of writing this. so minus 6 years, and that means from sometime before i was in middle school up until i was 21, this was a regular and favorited re-watched show they'd tune in for new episodes of and re-runs of whenever they stumbled on it. and, due to said 5 or 6 years, it's recently accumulated to have been enough time where, if "NCIS" is on now, they aren't AS sick of it anymore? as in, it's not their #1 favorite anymore still, but they will watch it with mild apathy/contentment; especially if it's an episode they still remember the plotline of VS a new episode that they dont. but, overall, even when id be in the room but on my phone or in the next room over and doing my hw: this show was a consistent pillar of my life growing up, at least in the background if not further up close

and, bc i know certain irrational parts of the internet will get mad i ever even dared passively absorb this show: dont be mad at ME bc "NCIS" had funding and viewership, im not a network head nor did i make the choice to have Ziva be Israeli. hell, i couldn't control the TV and refuse to give them viewership; i was a minor, my mom and dad were in charge, and my dad especially let me know him wanting to watch a show mattered more than me not wanting to watch it. he wouldnt change the channel on his favorite show. and though there were times i was invested, and i do have good memories here and there with my parents watching these various shows on/off, i knew also to question every villain they had and do my best to unpack/analyze whatever congrument narrative that was in their show that alligned with a thought i had about Islam as a monolith that i couldn't source back to my Muslim friends or learning about Islam on my own time. im ultimately glad i learned so much from it in that way. and i think that is the better way to go-- to watch whatever, but unpack as needed when you realize your biases-- rather than proverbially "burn the books" of whatever media you dislike and/or deem problematic. which this show is definitely problematic. but im still glad i learned from it in the ways that i have, and that i can use my history with the show to trick the algorithm maybe and get these families some additional attention

my chronic memory loss symptom means i am naturally predisposed to not be able to consistently remember certain things, especially details about people that didn't have emotional weight to me or that didn't come up too often, sometimes including things like a friend's ancestry or ethnicity. but, uh, i guess either none of my past Muslim friends were Palestinian?? or else any that were? they did not have the vocabulary or bandwidth to explain Palestine's fraught history of being oppressed by Israel to me (fair enough)?? i know one of my current Muslim friends definitely is Palestinian, but we met when i was 23 or a bit older (aka: after my parents were already sick of "NCIS", so the show and Ziva David being Israeli didnt come up; we did not know each other during the height of me having Muslim friends in middle and high school kindly helping teach me a few things)

personally, all my Jewish friends are from high school or before. and apparently, i don't have their social media or else they maybe deleted/renamed their accounts bc im not finding them in my Following lists. so i have no idea if any were from Isn'tReal. but i assume not, out of wishful thinking if nothing else. friendly reminder that antisemitism isn't cool, period; and also that calling out Zionism =/= antisemitism

alright then. dont mind me, im just gonna hc that one of my favorite "NCIS" characters is now a Palestinian Jewish person out of spite now. bc that's fucked up, that they made her Israeli on top of all this Islamophobia. and Palestinian people of all faiths are being impacted by Israel, yes, but there absolutely is Islamophobia involved in this genocide. so, like, excuse me, im just gonna casually re-write her in my head; cognitive dissonance is a helluva drug bc, like, you know the thing you like is bad but, like, what if you imagine if it was good lmao rip

unrelated tangent, if anybody was curious: "Bones" has been my stand-out favorite of my parents' rotation. i related to Dr Brennan's autism-coding, the show had good dialog and was largely sincere despite its writers' early-2000s-caused questionable creative-decisions, i find its obvious absurdity funny (wh... why would a museuem ever agree to this, they do FBI crime-work next to dinosaur skeletons, this setting is ridiculous lmao), and it has been the closest to comedy my parents would watch. it's a fun time, with some must-skip episodes, yeah, but it's fun. in my free time, i have also watched "Psych" and "Brooklyn-99" though, and i like them! im not a big fan of cop-shows and its tangential forms regardless though. but yeah, i do not recommend "NCIS". it wore me down over the years, but i do not recommend it. for obvious reasons i have now already fully explained lol

the next bullet point below is the original full form of what i said about "the difference between a protestor versus an ally" before editing my rambling down so i didnt detrack from the post's actual point:

↳ and both protestors and allies alike ("allies" being people who cannot protest for disability and/or safety reasons, but who do spread pro-Palestine news how/when they can and donate if/when it is possible for their wallets) are doing their best to keep Palestine in the news as a ton of people try to fund more Palestinian families to get out of danger!! [edit: i would be unsurprised if people disagreed with me that what i call "allies" is different than a "protestor". but i am keeping the term literal at the moment to give credit where credit is due for these organizers, influencers doing content and outreach to sponsor a family or multiple families, sit-out camp and walking-parade and curbside-standing protestors, and so on and so forth. however, my health and disability makes me specifically only capable of "ally" status; so maybe i am wrong and am doing some form of self-deprecation. i personally doubt it; i think im still right to internally have a dividing line made so literal like this. but i am open to the idea if nothing else. feel free to agree to disagree with my diction, i guess lol]

the next bullet point below is the original full form of what i said about anyone saying "that's so mean of you to do to your parents" before editing my rambling down so i didnt detrack from the post's actual point:

↳ (which anybody who wants to maybe Reblog/Reply/send an Ask to say "that's so mean of you to do your parents": shut the fuck up. okay? my parents don't have an interest in learning how to work streaming services anyway, it's fine. and my mom supports Palestine, so what i said is honestly hyperbole as she'd be down for our household to mostly-intentionally boycott the spin-off anyway. bc, yeah, its SO easily done for us since we dont have any streaming subscriptions, much less Paramount+ specifically. and my dad's early dementia makes his general stance unpredictable, bc it depends what he remembers is happening in the news/in politics, much less in Palestine specifically; he'll be "meh. okay" about being kept out of the loop. okay? focus up. talk shit in meaningful ways instead, like to help donate to Palestinian families in need. okay? okay.)

the next bullet point below is the original full form of what i said about "feel free to eventually boycott 'NCIS: Tony & Ziva' when it comes out" before editing my rambling down so i didnt detrack from the post's actual point:

↳ uh, sure, feel free to eventually boycott "NCIS: Tony & Ziva" when it comes out, since assumedly the networks are not going to ret-con that Ziva David is an Israeli Jewish person (which. her actress' wiki says she herself is neither Israeli or Jewish anyway, so literally no reason for anybody there to dig their heels in about this detail) and there's no reason for us to have ever had, much less have even more Zionism (+ likely still Islamaphobic) propaganda added to our current media landscape. but this show won't be dropping for a while and a half, sO PAY MORE ATTENTION TO THE MORE-PRESSING AND TIME-SENSITIVE [LINKS ABOVE THE READ MORE] PLS AND THANKS 🤗💗💕

the next bullet point below is the original full form of what i said about "here is why i am not a good person to follow to help you keep an eye on Palestine; go follow the families and the person who organized these links instead" before editing my rambling down so i didnt detrack from the post's actual point:

↳ (as someone whose disabilities and lack of wealth means the best i can consistently do is reblog here/repost on tiktok, spread awareness in my irl life, and so on. i irregularly use social media due to how drained i get. i do not have the luxury of energy, esp with all my diagnostic journey medical appointments further tiring me out, to make original posts on a regular basis like Palestinian families deserve and need from their regular backers. i thought of this post idea and worked on it on/off with the bits of energy i have had; i am doing this purely to see if it can help, i do not want attention or to be used as a resource when i cannot reliably be one with my current health situation. instead of me, please go follow these families and this user to keep the cycle going)

Brahms Heelshire Headcanons

Honestly I'm not sure why it took me so long to do Brahms, given I've been writing him since mid 2022. But I've been really vibing Slasher Headcanon posts lately, and today, it's his turn!

As always, these are of course my own personal opinion, but feel free to reblog, add onto them, ask questions about them, or add them to the ones you accept yourself! I absolutely love hearing from others on their thoughts.

.♡♡.﹀﹀﹀﹀.♡♡.﹀﹀﹀﹀.♡♡.﹀﹀﹀﹀.♡♡.﹀﹀﹀﹀.♡♡.﹀﹀﹀﹀.♡♡.

Headcanons from the Movie:

The Greta doll [Or the Nanny doll, for fics or content where the nanny is an OC or the reader] was never intended as anything dark/kinky/etc. It was simply Brahms mirroring how he'd seen affection shown towards him. I went into this in more detail on this post, if you're interested.

While he doesn't have the ability/time to do things like take care of his hair or shave, he does shower when the nanny is outside doing the rat traps.

When he can risk it, he'll sneak his clothes in with the laundry, but that became more difficult once his parents left. He's sometimes able to manage it by putting a few things in with sheets/blankets, but more often than not he'll simply use the clothes his dad left behind when he needs something clean to wear.

Def a clingy boy. Likes being able to have some form of physical contact with his partner, or at least be able to see/hear them if he can't do that.

Sometimes doesn't understand things that one would expect an adult to know, simply because his parents didn't teach him. The best way to address moments like this is to correct any mistakes gently, and teach him what he needs to know. [This does not mean to treat him like a child, just be patient and don't use a judgmental tone.

Occasionally has trouble processing emotions, especially negative ones, due to his father having a 'men don't cry' mindset.

Headcanons from Fanfic or Fandom Interactions:

Once he's ready to do so, he's okay with being seen without his mask. Respecting the boundary of letting him decide when that happens is a great way to show you care/trust/love him.

Definitely nervous about leaving the property, but he can manage if he's not alone at first. Once he's been out with someone he trusts enough to adjust to things like the crowds, levels of noise, and the environments, he's ok with splitting up for short periods of time.

When he goes out, he wears a cloth mask to cover the lower half of his face, so that the scarring will draw less attention.

Random Headcanons:

He's 100% the big spoon, regardless of a partner's size. While he does enjoy being held, he prefers to do so when he's holding his partner at the same time.

Really loves having his hair played with, especially if combined with kisses or cuddles.

Dog person [Cats are too aloof, and he enjoys the energy dogs can have. They're also a good way to get him going outside in the fresh air again]

18+ Headcanons🌶️🔞:

Spicy Headcanons:

This man does not know his own strength, so do not be surprised at all if you have bruises in the shape of his hands.

Definitely a switch, because he can enjoy both being the one in control and the one being controlled.

Age Regression Headcanons: NOTE: I am not intending to say that age regression on it's own is spicy or kink. However, I feel it best to keep it under the 18+ cut.

One of his favorite modern children's shows is Bluey. This is partially due to the characters being dogs, partially because of the parenting dynamics shown, and partially because there are heavier/more adult topics addressed in a way that's easy to process/understand.

To add onto the above, if a nanny/partner sees him upset and prompts 'Checklist', he will recite off Chilli's checklist from the episode The Show, while allowing himself to do the items on it. It started as a way to help him address his emotions in a healthy way, but soon became something that helps both him and his nanny/partner, as he can do the same thing with them.

The checklist is as follows: ✓ Have a Cry ✓ Pick Myself Off ✓ Dust Myself Off ✓And keep going.

Likes doing coloring pages or other simple crafts, and will often proudly present his partner with the end result.

Loves it when they put it on the fridge where it can be on display.

They turn his childhood room into a 'Littlespace' room for him to go to whenever he like. This means painting the walls a soft, comforting color, putting soft rugs on the floor, adding prism window clings to the window to cast rainbows all about the room, a permanent pillow fort, and a TV with a DVD player and VHS player on a wheeled table that can be moved anywhere in the room, with a bookshelf full of movies from their childhood, as well as more modern ones.

One of their shared favorites is Quest For Camelot.

things i always want to know about each episode

my favorite part of posting recaps is when people share their thoughts in the notes! so here is a list of things i love hearing. of course, you are under no obligation to share these things, but it is appreciated when you do!

did you like the episode? or did you hate it? or was it just okay? and feel free to share why

is the episode well-regarded within the fandom? (<- this one is really interesting to me, because i have no frame of reference for what the wider fandom thinks. i like knowing if i hit a big fave or if i found something cool in a less well-regarded episode. or if i am justified in my hating because everyone else does too, haha)

(i also love when people comment that i liked an episode enough to make them re-evaluate how they see it... <3)

which moments from the episode made you laugh/aww/cringe/gasp/etc etc

any behind the scenes trivia/fun facts ALWAYS make me sososo happy and i loooove to learn about them

honestly any fandom lore makes me so excited too! i love hearing about the terminology for different episode groupings, which moments really went wild with the msr crowd, any discourse the episode provoked, what was going on with the actors at the time, etc

i'm sure there are a million more things i could think of, but the overall message is that i really love hearing your thoughts and opinions! it makes the time put in feel worthwhile. since i'm still running from spoilers, the notes on these posts are pretty much the only way i get to interact with the fandom, so it is a real treat. and again, no obligation to ever comment, but it sure is fun when it does happen!

(also, this is a blog where going back and reading/reblogging/leaving many comments upon posts from months ago is encouraged and appreciated, so please never feel that you have to stick to the newest ones i post! i made the masterpost so it can be slightly easier for you to do exactly that <3)
