i think kissing a girl would fix me

[ratatattouille]

not a big fan of the jayvik having something "higher" than friendship or romantic affection posts. "a secret third thing" lmao like what? love in any form is a transcendent thing in itself. also, it's okay if they're just gay. they can be gay friends. y'all sound like christian linke having to call viktor "asexual" to beat the jayvik allegations. just call them gay, friends to lovers even, lmao. i swear tumblr treating normal things with such disdain for being normal is the most middle school shit ever. ordinary things can be wonderful, actually. it's the irony of existence.

OLNF Week Day 5: Sci-fi

this was heavily inspired by those alien cat memes. in this au, i like to think nadine and cheyomi would be siblings. they were hatched from an egg or something. incubator buddies?? :3c

wyd if two aliens pull up to golden grove in a space shuttle?? @olnfweek2024

these two are on their first mission on earth to conduct research on the local environment. they’re not supposed to interact with the humans but they’re just so fascinating. they can’t help it if they watch the locals from afar (especially two particularly interesting individuals) and are incidentally spotted…. oops.

nadine and cheyomi panic at first thinking they blew their mission but to their surprise, the two humans approach them. they declare a new side mission! observe (befriend) the two humans!

Thinking about that scene in My Old Ass where Aubrey Plaza's character talks to her younger self about the pain of losing a lover who passed too soon and my chest hurts

[yuri-is-online]

I’ve been skimming through fluff fics lately, and a fun little realization popped up in my mind. It’s not often people talk about the downs in a potential relationship with the twst boys. For the sake of a more realistic perspective, I’ve got to ask. Who do you think is most likely to unintentionally hurt Yuu and why? - 🦐

Hello my shrimpy friend! So nice to hear from you, hope you're doing well. Fan fic in general isn't very focused on portraying the negative parts of a relationship because it's a form of escapism. People don't necessarily want to picture themselves in a bad spot in a relationship if they already are in one in real life, yk?

That being said making mistakes is part of any relationship so I do have some thoughts! They/them used for Yuu as always, this is angst so proceed with care.

Azul- he doesn't have the healthiest mental framework surrounding friendships, and you do need to be friends with your SO to have a solid relationship. An actual relationship with Yuu would probably have a bumpy start as you two try to feel out what the dynamic is actually supposed to be. Take it slow and everything will be fine, but there might be some hurt feelings along the way. And a lot of assumptions from other people about your relationship that don't help either of you.

LEONA- he's a rude ass bitch who doesn't have great manners I am so sorry to this man. To be fair though I think a lot of that rudeness would be something that would take place before the actual relationship, because I firmly believe if it's pointed out to Leona by his partner that he has communication issues he's more than willing to work on that with them. He would be a good boyfriend! It's just all the conversations up to the actual going out that's painful and might ruin what he wants before he actually gets it.

Riddle- so I don't think Riddle's treatment of Yuu is what might hurt them exactly, his issues as always have to do with his mother. He needs to figure out exactly how he wants to deal with his childhood trauma and his adult relationship with her, but that's going to take a lot of time and personal growth. Mrs. Rosehearts seems like the type to try and continue running her son's life after he graduates so I can't see her treating Riddle's partner well. Going no contact with an emotionally abusive parent is really hard for their children to do, Riddle needs love and support but the journey can be emotionally draining for the person giving that support.

Sebek- again with the family thing. His parents sound like wonderful people but his Grandfather seems to only like his grandchildren because they're half fae and still actively hates his son in law. I can't see him treating Yuu any better, which I could see being very draining since Sebek and his grandpa are very close. It could also be a chance for Baul to change a bit, which would be nice.

Cater and Idia- I'm making them share a spot because similarly to Leona I think the major hurts would be caused pre-relationship, but unlike him I don't see their communication issues as being something that would affect the relationship in the same way going forward. Cater has a lot of insecurities and can be a bit shallow, but he is a good friend so once he accepts Yuu as a safe space to speak openly and honestly I don't see them as having too many issues. Idia is also shown to be very open and honest with Ortho, his self hatred, temper, and inferiority/superiority complex just get in the way of him letting anyone else in.

In general, a lot of the twst guys have communication issues which is something people can work through, but would still cause some pain. Something to think about I suppose σ(￣、￣=)

I went to my first plant swap and man. It was WILD.

Keep in mind I heard about the plant swap a little over 24 hours before it was happening. I have no plants to exchange, I barely even have seedlings yet. But I do have a bunch of seeds so I decide to roll up and see what I can do.

Its from 2 to 5. I show up at 2:12 and its mostly houseplants. But the local library branch has a tent and they’re letting people check out some gardening books they brought if they have a library card on them!

So I checked out “Seedswap: The gardener’s guide to saving and swapping seeds” by Josie Jeffery!

Woohoo!

(They also told me that if I want the library to set up seed libraries I should email showing interest because a lot of librarians have suggested it but public interest is needed 👀 special reminder to email/contact your local library about adding seed libraries if you haven’t got one already!)

I considered leaving but I decide to hang around and see if anyone else comes around with stuff that’s more my fancy (no disrespect to people who like houseplants but I have a 99% killrate with them and they’re just not my vibe) and

Y’all

I obtained a Boxcar tomato, a Blackberry Lily, a variegated pepper, a hibiscus cutting, loofah seeds, okra seeds, and FOUR (4!!!!) peach tree seedlings!!!

HELLO??????

I spent like 6 bucks total (1 on a peach tree seedling, 5 on the pepper) and the rest was just seed trades (or the peach tree lady just… giving me more peach trees for being nice. Be nice to the elderly you might get peach trees out of it.) I was there for like an hour and a half TOPS.

(I had to pot up the peach tree seedlings myself but this is still a W in my book lets see if they survive)

So uh

WOOHOO

I know the witchcraft and murder rumors surrounding the building were obviously about Snake Lady at the 4th floor but come on, the person who used to live in the 2nd floor seems kinda sus as well. Like, there's a recipe for an invisibility potion in their apartment:

And, what do you know, there's an INVISIBLE DUDE JUST STANDING AROUND ELENA'S APARTMENT!!

Come on, you can't tell me these two things aren't related somehow! This doesn't even have to be a magic-related situation. For all we know, this could be another Unwanted Experiment type of problem where a scientist performed experiments (there was a lab rat after all) but during the process of moving out they forgot to keep an eye on whoever invisible dude is and just stayed on the 5th floor

I love the new Ranma 1/2 I have waited so long to see Ryoga's stupid ass again

When you get this, respond with 5 things that make you happy (if you'd like to)! You never know who might benefit from spreading positivity. ✨

meanwhile I saw this one when I wasn't able to answer it and promptly forgot about it

the neighborhood birds! desperately need to get back outside and say hello to them (what few there are at present). big fan of our sparrows and chickadees and robins because they are the background music of my life. I also discovered last year thanks to a bird call identifier app that has since stopped working for me that we have several varieties nuthatches and woodpeckers that I hear often but never see. and all of the wetland birds, too. it's summer when the egrets come home.

flavored coffee creamer. really ups my morning tea or coffee with minimal effort.

lazy stay-in days with friends. Rubes popped up for a visit recently and we watched five movies and several episodes of various shows and did precious little else, and it was extremely refreshing.

thick frost on bare winter trees. when the whole world is limned in silver and rose-gold morning light, it's like living a psalm.

a really nice yarn. I'm working with a linen blend right now and I love the texture.

THEYRE SO EMBARRASSING GOOFY DAD AND EMBARRASSING GOOFY MOM COMBO TO ME. YOU DONT UNDERSTAND.

"I don't know that person and I'm never going to see them again so why should I care if I make their life as a disabled person worse by being purposefully loud in public where a disabled person cannot just leave" I hate this website. I hate how OP can clearly state "if you are able to not make the noise but do anyway" and randos will be like "actually it is racist to be misophonic and have sensory issues" this website makes me want to fucking scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just want decent fucking advocacy I just want to be able to exist in public without having a migraine AND a meltdown combo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but people don't even recognize or understand how fucking bad life w misophonia can be. "just get earplugs" what if you fell into an industrial-sized blender? I legitimately think telling a misophonic person to get earplugs/headphones is a microaggression because they don't even understand how fucking. limiting. that is. and also how dangerous it is to HAVE to be completely unaware of your surroundings?????? just to get by??????? this is how people don't hear fire alarms, or other emergency alerts. or someone breaking into their home, or traffic........ a dozen other things too. not to mention your ears get SO fucking raw after wearing earplugs for a while (these people have probably never wore them for more than a few hours) I genuinely have gotten blisters and been unable to wear earplugs bc of that even though the plugs and my ears both were kept clean. and earplugs don't even drown out all of the triggering noises......... especially not bass like can we please just accept that our world is an overstimulating and hostile one and not everything and everyone needs to be as loud as we currently are please and thank you.

I think a lot of problems could be solved if we just had healthier outlets for emotions like anger and rage and devastation.

[whippetcrimes]

Not really a puppy update, but kind of one anyways:

Over the course of this year, our neighborhood has been increasingly unsafe. From very occasional incidents over the years we've been here, to multiple shootings and murders within a quarter mile of our house, just in the past couple months we're at 7-8 incidents. I even was outside about 20ft away from people shooting at each other in their cars (terrifying). Our county has had a couple city council sessions to try and address the violence. But, tbh, I just don't think I'm able to feel safe here. Which is to say, essentially, in the hopefully nearer-than-not future, we will be moving.

As much as I badly want Misty to have a sister and as disappointing as it is to have the ideal timeline disrupted, future miss felony probably exists at least a year, maybe even two, away. Unless some maybe maybes happen. On the brightside, a non-negotiable is a bigger yard/more land, so the pup(s) will be very happy with their zoom space.
