#hope you like this elliot!

[youngpeachenthusiast]

this is not directed at anyone specifially and i'm going to say something that"s probably controversial but here i go anyway: you are not a bad person for still liking the harry potter franchise.

actually, i do not believe that you are a bad person, full stop. but that's a conversation for another day.

while it is actually horrible to support jkr and engage with her content in any way that gets her money (it is! no pretending it isn't), i think that no one should care about whether someone still enjoys the story. sure, jkr's fucked up worldviews are everywhere in it, and that certainly does ruin it to some degree (to me, at least), but you are still allowed to have your good memories and cherish the great times that you had thanks to the story.

i'm saying this as someone whose favorite pastime after jrk came out as... wildly problematic became breaking down every little problematic detail of the whole storyline. after the hp franchise basically made up most of my childhood.

is the story mediocre? the worldbuilding lacking? is it full of outright discriminatory narration and stances? yeah. should any adult with a high school degree have the literacy necessary to recognize this? yeah.

was it still incredibly important to lots of people (especially those who were often singled out and ostracized? looking at you and me, queer kids)? also yeah.

lots of literature and art of all kinds that people still engage with and love to this day is wildly problematic. made by problematic people. it is possible to enjoy a work of art critically.

what one can and should do, is not support the artist. but what harm does one do when enjoying something that is special to them? please leave people alone. i myself can't enjoy the story anymore at this point, but really. there's bigger problems in the real world. can we please use our energy in a better way? why is this discourse so rampant that i'm ranting about it on tumblr, where two people tops will read the post????

i feel like people should be allowed to like things sensibly. i... don't really have the energy to think about this stuff and believe that so many people are evil for enjoying something that meant the world to them in childhood. honest to god .

More selkie!Elliott HCs - Part 2: The Return

Part 1: The Reveal

I highkey just love writing these. Bear with me, I wrote this at 4 AM and finals are fast approaching for college lol

angst, fluff, fem!farmer, Elliott x farmer, some implied nsfw/suggestive, Elliott as a famous author, comfort, established relationship

REUNITING AFTER HE’S HUMAN AGAIN - VERSION 1 (might write more versions later)

so at this point, Elliott and the farmer have been dating for a while

the farmer knows he’s a selkie

she takes it well and surprisingly (to Elliott, at least) is NOT too concerned about it

one day, Elliott transforms back into a human on an unfamiliar beach

he’s so mad at himself about it because usually, he’s so careful about where he transforms

but not this time

I mean, he was a literal seal, after all, having a consciousness on the level of a human in this form is nearly impossible

But to end up so far from Pelican Town... all the way in ZUZU CITY?

poor Elliott, wearing only his seal skin coat (the coat is below his knees so it’s not THAT bad, y’all) has to find a pay phone or someone with a phone to call the farmer to help him

Side note: I like to imagine it looks like a vintage mink coat so he is honestly still kinda serving looks like that (slay!)

Elliott prays he isn't recognized by any fans as he wanders the city looking for a phone

the farmer practically sprints to his location, she’s missed him so much.

and it’s been a few months since he’s been human…

so once they reunite, they make out, and depending on where they are/if there are people around…. 👀 (iykyk)

eventually, though, Elliott turns to her, still adjusting to talking again since his transformation, but the exhaustion in his voice is impossible to miss. He might even shed a few tears as he leans on the farmer

“my love, can we please return home. I miss our house, our bed, and our beautiful farm dearly”

the farmer will make sure he gets back. She’ll let him sleep with his head on her shoulder on the bus home and will support him as his newly human legs limp back to the farmhouse.

once they’re close enough, she might even carry him

before he can fall asleep again, she’ll draw him a bath and set out comfy pajamas for him for when he’s done

after all, the ocean is not very clean, especially after all the pollution from Joja Co.

the farmer also helps him detangle his hair since it's a mess (Elliott is very appreciative of this, if a bit embarrassed that it got that messy)

she’ll stay up until he joins her in bed, laying under the covers and reading a book

before they fall asleep, Elliott will turn to her and lightly kiss her cheek or neck and press his forehead to hers

“my love?” he asks, “why aren’t you bothered when I depart from you for months? My heart longs for you when I do, but I can't control the call of the sea. I just hope you don’t despise me, my dearest”

the farmer shrugs and caresses his cheek “Eli, I’ve told you this a thousand times. I know your love for me is real and I know you’re true to me. You’ve promised me you always come back, and here you are. Why should I worry if you’ve never broken your promise?”

this means so much to Elliott. He starts crying as he hugs her tightly.

I mean, he was gone for three months, how could she be so blase? How could she just... accept him? Elliott is wracked with guilt

The farmer, meanwhile, is just glad to have him around again

"Eli, it's okay! I get it! You're okay! I'm not mad!"

After a few more minutes of this, he sighs in acceptance.

"My love, you're so good to me"

Eventually, they both fall asleep

I’d also like to imagine that the farmer planned a gathering at the saloon for the day after he’s back.

Like the whole town celebrating his return from “a writing retreat” or an “inspiration vacation”

The farmer totally lied about his whereabouts to keep his secret

the farmer is terrible at lying, but the town believes her, and besides, her and Elliott know the truth.

Hello, Neighbor!

[Transcript Below]

Pallomine

"The tiniest neighbor in Welcome Home, Pallomine Playful has plenty to learn! They never grew out of their baby-face, nor the curious and excitable attitude that came with it. While they may not always be able to sing along with their neighbors, their trusty crayons are there to spell out the rest."

According to uncovered scripts, Pallomine seems to be an infrequent visitor to Home. Something akin to a special guest character, not much is known so far.

In the show, it seems Pallomine was introduced to cover more sensitive topics such as getting hurt or a fear of thunderstorms. It is also of note that they are often depicted having a sweet tooth.

OC questionaire

Thanks for the tag @elsie-writes

Rules: answer some questions as one or more of your ocs

I'm going to do this one for Dylan today

---

Do you collect anything?

I have a box full of things I've found in the dirt at the park. It's organized by what it is. A lot of coins and soda bottle caps. I have a few buttons and feathers. Cool rocks. I like to press flowers, too. I have a bag of dried petals

-

What are you passionate about?

My flowers. I do most of it in the garden across the street from my house, but I've got a few plants in my room- not very many, since I don't trust Jaxon not to knock them over or eat them or something. My brother Logan let me have a lot in the kitchen and the living room. Cass and Lily have flowers too. I trust them more than Jaxon. I gave Elliot a night sky petunia, not for any meaning in particular, I just thought he would like it. I guess its meaning could apply, too. When it's winter and I can't really keep my flowers alive, I like reading ghost stories. I also like to watercolor paint

-

What is the first thing you do when you get home for the day?

I used to meet with my brother or my sister since they get out of school before me, but I started walking home with my friends, since we live together now. Everyone but Logan's usually home by then. I might have a snack if dinner isn't too soon. Or I'll take a nap

Questions:

What is your favorite way of relaxing?

Can you be trusted to keep a secret?

How is your room decorated?

And I'll leave it open tag today :) feel free

[livelaughwhump]

For the five sentence prompts. (just read the strays drabble and am in love with dumpling!)

Dumpling curled closer to Elliot, purring softly.

Dumpling curled closer to Elliot, purring softly. Elliot gasped, sitting bolt upright at the unexpected soft touch. Tears were coursing down his flushed cheeks and his hands were shaking with the violent tremors left behind by his nightmare. His racing heart began to slow as he recognized the fluffy gray fur and bright green eyes of his companion. Dumpling looked up at him, tilting her small head to one side.

Elliot stared at her, his lower lip quivering. "S-Sorry," he said, softly, wiping at the tears on his face, though they didn't cease. "You-You scared me." Dumpling unfurled from her comfortable position, stretched her back and tail, and began to trot over to where Elliot laid his head back down on his pillow.

Dumpling pawed at the hand that was hiding his tear-streaked face, only to brush her soft head against his cheek. Her whiskers and fur scrubbed away his tears and tickled his skin and he giggled. Elliot sniffled and smiled at her, scratching her tiny head as she leaned into the touch.

"Thanks, Dumpling," he whispered. She curled up beside his face and purred softly until they both fell asleep.

Pride psa:

Hey, fic writers? Please for the love of whatevergod *DO NOT* write "gn afab reader" when you're just going to write a cis woman with they/them pronouns slapped on bc you want to appeal to trans people without doing anything to actually make it be inclusive. Similarly, don't write "gn amab reader" if you're going to write a stereotypical man and, again, slap they/them on it to try to broaden your audience without putting in the actual effort.

If you're going to write a cis male or female reader, just say it. It is incredibly easy to tell when you wrote it that way and just changed the pronouns to be more "inclusive."

[bisxualbucky]

for @t4tstevebucky (and based on its very real and true prompt of pre-war t4t stevebucky) 🤎 plus my personal headcannon that steve and bucky held themselves a secret catholic-jewish wedding in their pre-war days
