the one where eddie won't touch buck once he wakes up in the hospital, and buck goes absolutely bonkers bananas about it. is it truly a michelle rec list if there's no touch-starved fic on there? i don't think it is lol. i've reread this several times now and it's just the absolute loveliest <3

don't break | odysseus_calls | 2.4k | T

5 times the 118 is tired of Buck and Eddie acting like a couple, and the time they find out they've been dating the whole time. i LOVE hijinks and shenanigans <3 this captures them so perfectly!!

hooker | mansikka | 3.9k | T

When Eddie's life turns to hell, he turns to hooking. Crochet hooking. i've been attempting to crochet again (made a little cat today!) and it's only half because i want to be cool and crafty and half because people make it sound so cool and crafty in fics. anyway point is this was brilliant and so eddie and i loved it v v much!!

In the aftermath of Chris leaving for the summer, Buck convinces Eddie they should apply for Love Island together. okay so admittedly all my big plans to read my marked for later list this week failed miserably, cause this is the only fic from there that i actually read... on the other hand, what a brilliant one it is!! it's so funny and so good and i loved the social media elements in there. also, maya and maria <3

sub drop city, population: eddie diaz | peaktotheocean/@peaktotheocean | 4k | T

He thinks of his empty bed at home, and his chest feels tight. It’s just that—it’s okay if it’s Buck. He can let Buck catch him. give me all the bed-sharing fics, please and thank you <3 this is one of the best uses of the trope i've seen in a long time, it's so lovely <3

I’ll never get over, how for a series that has a good few disabled characters, how goddamn ableist the dungeon meshi fandom is (especially with mithrun)

“oh I’m only making fun of laios endearingly” while only ever targeting his autistic traits

Kabru deserves better than being in a relationship with a disabled person mithrun!!

Kabumisu is toxic because kabru is mithruns caretaker!! (This is literally just blatant ableism)

Drawing mithrun with both eyes

And dear god just. All of the making fun of mithrun. I get it. Some people do it with all characters. But the way people target him specifically just reeks of ableism. Calling him “ugly” (obviously only because of his eye) and “old” (he is literally like 37 in human years) “crusty” (Jesus Christ you guys just really hate people who don’t fit the beauty standard huh. He literally just has some dry lips. Have you never seen a real human being) and so much more.

The worst of it is that most of these people like the series and the characters, just not when they’re visibly disabled. If they are, they’ll just relentlessly make fun of them. Oh but don’t worry it’s all endearingly!! (Even though they noticeably pick on disabled characters and only ever make fun of their disabled traits)

[ALT ID: A digital illustration of Vash from Trigun. The canvas is composed of a frame within a frame. The center frame is the view through Ship 5's arboretum, showing space and two falling stars streaking across the sky in parallel. The outer panel shows Gunsmoke's five moons and vivid orange sand dunes. Vash spills out of the center frame into the outer one. He's seen mostly from the back, turning away from the viewer with his gun held low in his prosthetic hand.]

do you actually view nonbinary people as non-binary or as binary people too scared to come out

this is a wild thing to ask someone who’s very openly not binary. like what even prompted you to send this? even if you didn’t know that i’m not binary trans, what have i said that would lead you to think i don’t believe in nonbinary people? is it just the fact that i’m a trans man and talk about being one on here? because sometimes it really feels like that’s all it takes for some of y’all to just assume i hate nonbinary people, as if those are mutually exclusive categories (which is ironically an exorsexist assumption in itself).

anyway, if it needed to be said, of course i view nonbinary people as nonbinary. it would be very silly of me to feel differently given that i’m not a binary trans person myself and that most of the trans people i’m close to in real life are nonbinary. i would strongly encourage you to ask yourself what it is about me that made you feel the need to ask me this in the first place.

I really wanted to draw them but I was lazy

I I really like them.

I may or may not image them being the cutest sweetest intimate no homo bros ever and Dream just. Has to deal with his husbands oddly obliviousness to how fucking gay he is with Epic. And he joins in cause at some point I became a sucker for cookies and cream.

That somehow reminds me I really need to draw some bruh x broski soon its been so damn long

[cryptidanathema]

Another thing that's absolutely miserable about ADHD is that literally every symptom is something that this capitalist hellscape we live in chalks up to a personal failing. That we're all lazy burdensome failures that don't deserve the oxygen we breathe because we Can't Capitalism Good. No wonder so many of us end up addicts with raging inferiority complexes.

[description of someone's unconventional kink and/or fetish] wow this is so GROSS and SCARY and SINISTER. niche obsessions are only fine if they're not sexual.

[magical-girl-coral]

No I'm not bitter most other characters get a full episode to explain how they got their powers while Mel's only had fifteen minutes of total screentime. What the fuck are you talking about?

I have moved house!!!!

[somegrumpynerd]

Whenever my neighbour’s blasting music I can hear it in my room and I’m not mad they’re jamming out but their taste in music sucks. All they play is pounding club music like c’mon, put on barbie girl or something just once for me
