I have always sort of wondered what makes culturally christian escapees to atheism so resistent to the idea that religions other than christianity really and genuinely are EXTREMELY different and trying to insist that this one aspect of christianity you hate most is definitely for sure universal to all religions this time is going to make you come across as A) an asshole, and B) an asshole that those of us from marginalized religions can't trust because apparently you won't even believe us when you're told you're misrepresenting our faiths.

the downside to being a sitcom neighbour sort of person is that when rough things happen and emotionally fuck u up a lil bit, it also sounds completely made up

contrary to the . . . uh . . . vibes timmers gives off, he actually isn't really all that (｡･･｡) when it comes to physical intimacy. i mean, it obviously has a bit to do with having to exude confidence and SwagTM while pretending to be jack for so many years, but then when he was trapped in the casino, well . . . ヽ(ヅ)ノ he and the other not crazy folks there had to find some fun somewhere, right—?

basically, he has nothing against "no strings attached" engagements of that ilk; trust me, he needs the stress relief. (and he is in fact more accustomed to flings and "friends with benefits" relationships than real romance, anyway)

where his stuttering and stumbling and fumbling and general cringe rears its head is when he actually has feelings for someone. you know how it is: emotions really do make everything way more complicated. so, like . . . if he's a disaster in the bedroom, it's probably a pretty good sign he has some hidden feelings, js ( ‾́ ◡ ‾́ )

I don't mean to beg, but if you have any extra time this month I think we would all love to see Magical Girl Charlie again!

Oops;; uh... I swear he looked really cute for a few seconds there before the fight started and his training kicked in. .w.;;

hello four swords fandom (again)

[dredshirtroberts]

oh shit y'all.

i've done gotten invested in Gurren Lagann. we're like 19 episodes deep in this paint and i have been emotionally compromised by the silly mechs.

believe in the me.

[falinscloaca]

anyways PMMM sucks in that pernicious way that has a lotta good stuff and ideas TO it not to mention the non-(human)-character-design art direction rules (...kinda), and i've even softened on the emotional content (though not in combination with any gain of good faith in its creatorship at all), but then its just like... Oh Yeah It Also Exists To Sell Merchandise Of Girls That Are Like 13 To People Of Various Ages Who Find Them "Cute". And Its Side-Manga Spinoff Shit Was Just Like Absolute Dogshit About It At Least For A While. Like In A Bubble It'd Be Preposterous For The Spinoff To A Grand Cosmic Tragedy(ish) Melodrama About The Horrors Of Growing Up To Be, Like, "Ecchi", But Taking A Look At A Solid Chunk Of The Posters And Things Is Like 'Oh OK Its Just Like That'

Hey do you think ya can explain Barnaby and his illusion smoke a bit? It seems really cool and I don't remember if ya talked about it in depth before

sure! this got a bit longer than i expected!

so i was thinking that Barnaby seems like more of a hands-off kinda guy when it comes to altercations. would rather sit back and make funny commentary! so if he Had to get involved, i imagine it would be from a distance and still in an Entertaining Way!

thus - illusion magic! for this au i've been picturing that he got his paws on some illusionary herb in his early teens. for making people laugh, you know! and help out with the farm - illusions could distract animals, convince them to move on to different pastures, calm the chickens for egg-collecting, etc!

Ms. Beagle didn't really approve, since smoking is harmful, but lucky for the both of them this particular plant doesn't deal as much damage when smoked as normal smoking materials would - like tobacco! something to do with the magic properties! so Barnaby mostly used it for chores (when his mama wasn't paying attention, ofc - it's still a bad habit in her eyes) and entertainment purposes.

how it works: on its own, it doesn't do much when burned. it's not like illusions will waft out of the pipe's bowl, or that sniffing it will give someone hallucinations. in order for it to work properly, the user has to inhale properly, form the Intent of what the illusion should be / look like / behave, then purposefully blow the smoke out with that thought firmly in mind. the reach of the smoke depends on the force of Intent, and the intensity depends on the amount inhaled. those that breathe it in / are surrounded by it will see hallucinations of whatever Barnaby - or whoever the user is - wants them to! it can be literally anything! whether or not the target is fooled depends entirely on the individual, but the herb is potent enough that most are convinced that what they "see" is real (auditory hallucinations only occur if the target breathes in the smoke)

upsides: this form of magic is great for distractions, cover, deescalation, and that kind of thing. if needed, Barnaby could stop a fight with one exhale! it's a pretty powerful trick! it also means that Barnaby has built up a tolerance to illusion magic over the years, so where most of the party would be tricked, Barnaby would be unfazed. the only one with total immunity to the form of magic is Wally!

downsides: if Barnaby uses too much in too short of a time, it will get to him. and since he breathes in the largest amount - undiluted at that - it can fuck him up! using it sparingly / using repeated small amounts doesn't do anything. the most it will do is make him feel slightly untethered, but he has an easy time ignoring it / shaking it off.

in mild cases of the magic getting to him, it's like a bad trip. his proprioception is messed with (basically he gets uncharacteristically clumsy & off-balance), he feels like he's falling, anxiety spikes, and his vision is just... off! there are blind spots (im talking actual blind spots, not spots of black), things are moving in ways that they shouldn't, he has mild auditory hallucinations. the others can help ground him by talking to him, touching him, and confirming what's real and what isn't.

in bad cases, it's like that but 10 times worse. on top of all of the previous symptoms being worsened, he gets extremely vivid hallucinations, and they're very often not fun! it's a simultaneous feeling of dying, going insane, and not knowing what the fuck is going on. Barnaby loses sense of where he is, who's where, what's happening. he can get lost in the hallucinations - he has no way to know that they aren't real. in these terrible trips, no one can really help him. they can't get through the hallucinations, and if they do, the magic morphs Barnaby's perception of them and they end up adding to the effects. honestly the best thing for him is to let him rest somewhere with as little sensory input as possible & leave him be until he starts to come down. physical contact does help, since Barnaby understands on an instinctive level that illusions can't touch him, but it doesn't help half as much as it does w/ the mild trips. and again, the presence of someone can make the hallucinations worse.

so! suffice to say! he doesn't like using the herb all that often, and it's why he Stays Out Of It unless absolutely needed. he has two pouches of the herb - one with the strong stuff, reserved for emergencies / one with just a tiny bit of it mixed in with Barnaby's own personal blend for recreational/everyday use. (he also has an emergency tobacco stash in his pack, but that's only for when he's completely out of his usual blend <3)

extra lil scribble that didn't make it into the lil doodle post... i broke his wrist...

Yall my boss is lucky I've learned self control

[one-winged-dreams]

Me: I'm extremely traumatized to the point of literal CPTSD because I've never been good enough for anyone and the goddamn goalposts keep getting moved but if I give up I'm going to end up with bruises again so all I can do is sob and cry while I'm sprinting to catch up to a standard I'll never meet and goddammit I just want someone to love me and let me be a fucking lunatic about it as long as I'm not like genuinely being a hindrance to the relationship dynamic WHICH I'VE ALSO NEVER EXPERIENCED BECAUSE I'M SO JADED ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF LOVE THAT I REFUSE TO SETTLE FOR SOMEONE I'M ONLY PASSIVELY INTERESTED IN, BUT WHEN SOMEONE CAME ALONG THAT I GENUINELY FELL IN LOVE WITH I THREW MYSELF AT HIM AT FULL FORCE AND NOW HE HAS TO DEAL WITH MY NEUROTICISM BUT HE DOESN'T??? SEE IT AS A PROBLEM??????

Prestor: Hm, that's a lot.

Prestor: This is going to be a very interesting game for us.

Me: What?

Prestor: What?

I want someone to put their DICK in me

I theorize the reason "bottoms" appear more prevalent than "tops" on these types of spaces is that it is simply easier to be funny about being a bottom than about being a top without sounding like a sex offender

"uuuuu 🥺 pls cock me aaaaaaaa *runs into wall like Wile E Coyote running into his own tunnel painting*" easy as shit comedy

"I want to put my DICK in someone" whoa dude calm down, take it easy
