━━━━━━━━━
his skin was warm, like usual. dirty blonde hair pointing in every direction as you tried to smooth it out with a soft chuckle, fingers tracing the back of his neck at the same time, tugging gently at his baby hairs which were slightly darker than the rest of his strands.
you supported your body with your elbow, leaning down to press kisses against his cheeks, jaw, neck, chest, until he squirmed under your touch, mumbling something you couldn't understand with his voice hoarse from sleep.
“mhm.” you felt jj's arm wrap around your middle, bringing you closer to his body. “'s too early. go back to sleep.” he offered a soft protest against your kisses but the way he leaned in to you told you otherwise and you let out a snicker, tucking your face into the crook of his neck. so warm. so warm.
“good morning,” you kissed his cheek, tilting his head to face you. his sleepy eyes closed, lashes touching his cheek and fluttering as he tried to fight off waking up. “d'you need a kiss to wake up, sleeping beauty?”
your favorite blond's lips tugged at the edges and you grinned down at him as if he was showing you the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
“kiss.”
you laughed at his puckered lips.
“as many as you want, birthday boy.” you kissed and kissed and kissed his whole face until he cupped your cheeks to kiss you properly, bringing his mouth to yours. you let out a sigh, shoulders slumping in satisfaction. it's amazing the effect he still caused on you after years in your long-term relationship. “happy birthday.” you whispered, excitement dripping from your voice as you hugged him and forced the both of you to roll over in bed.
“thank you.” his deep chuckle was such a stark contrast against his pink cheeks.
jj glanced at you, in his waking up-wanna-go-back-to-sleep-state, the storm in his blue eyes drowning you in like nothing else. you knew what he was thinking. with time, you noticed it wasn't so hard to figure your boyfriend out by his little tells. the ones he was sure he never had but you found it either way.
right now he's thinking you remembered, you conclude by the contemplative look in his gaze.
“i'm happy I get to say this and celebrate it with you.” you added, caressing his face with the back of your hand. “i love you, maybank. you know that, right?”
“nah, I guess I might need a little persuasion to believe you...” and there he was. after his brain came out of its sleepy state, the stupid jokes would arrive as good morning.
"is that so?" you leaned away teasingly, earning a crease between his brows that put his indignation to light. nuzzling your nose with his, you could felt his chest go up and down under your palm, the movement often becoming what put you to sleep along the soft thump thump of his heart which was like the perfect lullaby. "you can go back to sleep if you want," you said, kissing his nose and sitting up to stretch your limbs and get up.
"where do you think you goin'?" Jj persuasion came in the form of strong arms caging you to him. your laugh echoed into the room as he flip the both of you in a way that he was on top of you. quite literally.
"I need to pee." you gave him a slap on the back, not strong enough to hurt but to warn him. his back muscle moved under your fingertips but that was really the only indication that he had heard you. "hey, handsome."
"mhm?" a giggle left your throat as his lips reached the back of your ear.
"seriously, my bladder is screaming." he let out a groan complaining that your bladder was very inconvenient.
"big baby." you teased after exiting the bathroom, teeth brushed and face properly washed. your boyfriend hadn't moved an inch and you would've thought he was still asleep if he weren't for his eyes wide open staring at the ceiling. "a penny for your thoughts?" you sat down beside him, the bed creaking under you as your hands trailed on top of his chest, drawing invisible patterns just to feel his skin against yours.
damn warm soft skin always inviting you closer and closer until you felt like merging your body with his completely.
“how about a kiss?” he wriggled his brows, a suggestive smirk taking the place of his previous contemplative expression.
“i think I can do that.”
“you sure?”
“yeah, I mean. maybe? I don't know, it's your birthday and all, you know...” you shrugged, acting disinterested in the act of kissing him. “i may be able to make an effort. maybe.”
“maybe.” he mocked your voice, messing up your strands by pulling them up.
“idiot.” you slapped his hands away from your hair. no time to tell him off any longer when he grabbed your face, kissing you in a way that took your breath away for a second.
jj started peppering your face with kiss, much like you did when he was waking up a few minutes ago.
“clingy much?” you croaked out in an attempt to save your dignity after feeling your face and neck warm up at his physical display of affection.
“for you, always.” jj kept holding your cheeks, forcing your gazes to find each other for a moment. sometimes you wanted to paint him, but not any color you'd put on a canvas would do justice to the ocean in his blue eyes. or the sun-kissed color of his skin.
“i love you.”
no museum could have jj maybank on display. but you could admire the art in front of you, and touch and hold and just bask in it. like sunlight dripping through the curtains in the early morning, the shy rays of sunlight that came to announce the day had started. it was warm, so warm. like home.
what a privileged life.
“i love you more.”
“nah, that's just not possible.”

[GI] Kinktober Day 22: "Audience"
Summary: It's no secret that you were Pierro's prettiest and newest little toy. But so many rowdy recruits trying to see if they can play with you as well, Pierro has no choice but to show you that he's the only one who gets to play with you.
Warning(s): Public sex, Exhibitionism, Bimbo!Reader, Trophy wife!Reader, Lightly hinted that the Reader was bought, Praise Kink, Some hints on Infidelity (on the reader's side ngl), Throat-fucking,
Side Note(s): My guilty pleasure has always been trophy wives/husbands. I'm shocked I haven't done something like this sooner low-key.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh, it was just bliss being Pierro's pretty little thing on his arm!
Through Pierro's position of being the one who started the Fatui, all with the help of the honorable Tsaritsa, his influence was infinite. No one could touch him and, in turn, you. He had enough money to fund all of your silly little habits whether it was getting into the arts or wanting to clean out stores in the name of getting all the latest clothing items. Your sex life with him was mind-blowing, you've never left the bedroom without either being weak in the knees, absolutely shaking, or feeling as if the only name you could say much less think of was Pierro's.
Life was wonderful. But...as of lately, your husband has been more possessive than he usually would.
He kept mumbling things about "rowdy new recruits not knowing their places" or "them not having enough brain to know that they shouldn't touch his property". You hadn't thought there was a single thing wrong with the new recruits! They were so sweet to you each time you happened to find yourself out and about without Pierro by your side, which was often due to his duties. During those times, the recruits would immediately come up to you and greet you! Sometimes they'd place a hand on your lower backside or even kiss you so kindly on the cheek!
So many times have you gone over to the recruit barracks, they'd so sweetly keep you warm by wrapping their arms around you or even suggest that they all should share a bed with you so that you could truly stay warm.
You thought your silly husband was just being needlessly jealous.
The recruits were friendly and nothing more.
But...apparently, Pierro didn't see it like that. And he was far more jealous than you originally thought he was, to begin with.
. . .
The noises that were currently being forced from your lips were embarrassing, absolutely disgusting as you choked and gagged around Pierro's cock, currently positioned on your knees in front of all of Pierro's recruits regardless of they were old or new. It seemed that your husband catching you and a recruit being too handsy with one another was as big of a deal as you originally thought it would be! But, Pierro was content with showing you as well as alllll of his recruits, both old and new, exactly who his wife belonged to.
"Filthy slut...don't you know who you belong to?" Pierro growled to you, a furious glare in his stormy eyes as he looked down at you, his hand tangled in the strands of your hair as he pulled you back and forth on his cock, feeling his thick length bulge out in your throat while you were helpless to do nothing more than take it. "You see this, men?" Pierro then boldly addressed his recruits just as spit bubbles started to pop up at the corners of your mouth. Your eyes threatened to roll to the back of your head, the fact that you weren't allowed to pleasure of yourself nearly driving you insane in combination with the shame of having so many people watch your husband slut you out. "This is my wife. No matter how much she tries to whore herself out to you—" You gagged when his pace became more ruthless, your hands flying to try and stabilize yourself against his thighs.
"—she isn't to be touched. Unless...you want to end up like them." You weren't able to see what everyone had turned their eyes towards but...you were going to go ahead and assume that it was quite the sight. Your husband was possessive, if you were touched, the people who did so always mysteriously ended up missing the next day, the poor fellows!
But, you didn't have too much brain power to think about that at the moment. "Good fucking slut...all you're good for is being a brainless cock sleeve, eh?" Pierro groaned, out of breath as he then started to suck in his bottom lip, his thighs flexing as a sign of his approaching climax. He pushed his hips flush against your face, nearly blocking off your only remaining air source before he smirked at your tear-stained face. Your cheeks were beet red and your eyes wider than a doe's, he could almost see the hearts within' your pupils.
This was supposed to be a punishment not a reward.
"Tch, you're enjoying this aren't you, wife?" He hummed, his eyes beginning to flutter as he groaned at the way your throat squeezed around him. You moaned around him as he began to gently pat your head, immediately trying to press yourself closer to him like a dog who was enjoying attention from its owner. Your visible devotion to him made his cock twitch in your throat, his hand then moving to gently grip your head again before he resumed pulling you up and down his length, starting off at a steady pace before slowly increasing until he quietly cursed under his breath when he pushed you against his pelvis, his hairs tickling your face as you felt ropes of his cum shoot down your throat.
You stayed there for a couple of minutes until you were forced off his cock.
Once you took a few breaths, you had no sense of shame when you asked your next question— "...Do I get another reward, honey?" You giggled dumbly before you hitched up your dress, just enough for your husband to see the mess that was between your thighs. He was frozen for a beat or two before he smirked, he supposed the recruits wouldn't mind another show of witnessing who you belonged to.

Hi, hope you're doing well 👋
I'm in my mid 20s, AFAB and have PCOS. I recently had penetrative sex for the first time. It was unprotected but I don't think he ejaculated inside (he said he didn't and I didn't feel like he did, but I wouldn't really know how that feels either).
I took a morning-after pill the next day (less than 12 hours after having intercourse), it contained ulipristal acetate.
Ever since then I've been really paranoid that I'm gonna get pregnant, I've been to my gynecologist since then and she said I should just wait for my next period and try to relax because the stress might delay my period even more (I'm not regular because of my PCOS, the most regular my periods are is usually like 40~ days apart but sometimes I skip a whole month entirely)
I'm not currently taking any medication for my PCOS (just folic acid), my gynecologist said after my next period ends she's gonna start me on birth control since I plan on becoming more sexually active and it will also help manage some of my PCOS symptoms.
I'm so scared of getting pregnant I've been having nightmares about it, pregnancy is one of my biggest fears (also I live in a place where abortion isn't legalized). I don't want to know the exact statistics because unless it's a flat 0% I don't think it would reassure me at all.
So I guess I just wanted to get some reassurance, someone to tell me it's very unlikely that I will get pregnant from this experience (there's no one in my real life I can go to for this). One of my worries is that since I have PCOS it somehow made the morning-after pill not work or something like that, I don't know, is that possible?
Sorry for the lengthy ask, thanks in advance for answering and have a nice day ❤️
Hi! Thank you, you too! 💕
Just so that you're aware, someone does not have to ejaculate inside you to cause pregnancy! Pre-ejaculate can also contain sperm, which is what can get you pregnant. It's rarer but can still happen.
You also don't necessarily have to feel it to tell if someone ejaculated inside of you. An easy way to tell is feeling inside of you with a finger and checking if there's cum, though if it was just pre-ejaculate or even just a very small amount of ejaculate, its much harder to tell.
I understand being scared of getting pregnant. It's unfortunately a common worry, especially in places without [free/stable] abortion access. Getting on birth control for that and your PCOS sounds like a good idea, I'm glad your doctor is being helpful!
Your PCOS isn't going to negate the morning-after-pill. Unless someone wants to jump on here to correct me, I've never read anything about PCOS messing with that. Actually, PCOS often makes it harder for people to get pregnant, Anon!
No apologies needed, thank you for trusting me to answer! I hope this helps a little, let me know if you have any other questions! <3

Deon Headcanon about love
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He won't be easy to falling in love with (atleast him not us) Poor boy...
His past isn't the most favorable, which has shaped his heart and left it scarred, making him somewhat indifferent to love. I believe he has two potential paths to finding love: either with childhood friends, who give him a reason to keep going in this world, or with someone who can completely captivate him.
He won't quickly realize that he's falling for us. He’s oblivious to the unfolding tragedy in his life, lacking anyone to confide in, leading to a slow burn of emotions. Even when he starts to recognize his feelings, he��ll struggle with hesitation and denial, causing him to feel frustrated and moody.
He’ll likely have negative thoughts about himself and try to distance himself from us, but fate often has other plans, making it hard for him to truly escape. Even with destiny nudging him, he might still hold back from expressing his feelings. He’s the type who guards his vulnerabilities fiercely, viewing a confession as a potential weakness that others could exploit.
If he does find the courage to share his feelings, it might only happen during a perilous moment or when he’s under the influence. Otherwise, he’s too self-aware to openly admit his emotions.
We're being surprised with his confession is the bonus.
Even if we have the same feeling to each other, Deon will still feeling awkward and don't know what to do. He already make the scenario if we reject it so much until he don't know what to do...
What his love language?
I think he will prefer the quality time and the act of service. He's too introvert to doing word of affirmation to often. His heart and mouth can't take any sweet love to be voiced too loud.
And his twisted memory also will shadow him to make any love word (so the possibility Deon's love is becoming toxic also very high, but i choose not to)
So he will treasure any peace moment with us and trying his best to fulfill it. The happy and loving is also like a fleeting moment, so fragile to not becoming murky.
He having a very simple way to love someone even if he don't usually voicing it, so the partner also have to understand him.
The possibility Deon experiences love for someone is just once in his life. He's falling in love is remarkable occurrence in the first place. His heart already bleed from the abandonment issue so he loving someone is the dreamlike feeling for him.
His language body
Nervous but still want it, that's his condition. His body will conflicted with his emotion. His emotion wanting to embrace the love but his body is so still, don't know what to do.
So nervous, becoming red, and his finger is always moving to vent out the stress. But after warming himself with his feeling, finally he can become more relax and not so restrictive.
What irks him?
He falling in love. Yes that's true, but he also having a side who doesn't like our influence that make himself feeling weird. But he won't attack us, because he's still the part of Deon, even if he's more ruthless.
At the best he can do is act a little bit of harsh, he cannot make us hurt because it'll also break his heart. He's still Deon after all.
Random fact
He prefer the moment he can relax himself with us in his room than to go outside. The outside full of trouble that waited him to be troubled.
He like to cuddle us instinctively. He needs the warmth from our body to keep relaxing himself.
Stroke our hair a lot. Think that our hair is his stress venting until we mad.
Like to stare our doing with tender and soft gaze. He prefer to seeing us happy than being sad. He having enough of sadness.
Don't like pranks. So try to suppressed our prank side.
Because his sensitivity of light, he have to sleep with the light is off.
Nightmare? He have, His habit of sleeping is delirious. His past always makes him feeling haunted and all we know is that we can stroke his hair, smooth the creases on his forehead and sing soothing lullabies before he fi.
PDA? Please, he can't do that. He prefer to doing that at private moment. At the best he can do in the public is holding hand.
Possessiveness? He have it. So try not to be so close with us. His other side will revenge it with blood splattered. But Deon itself will became so moody until we explain and cuddle his jealousy.
We can be anything, human or devil because Deon himself is the ace of the both side.
His merge of personality will make Deon become more possesive than before. So don't try to stimulate him. We also will be the only motivation he have to not doing suicide right away. We have to literally beg him not to do it.
He himself is only soft to us and ruthless to anybody, so loving him the best is the only way to return his softness.
His smell probably will the subtle scent of blood intertwined with the aroma of grass. He's having it so much until it imprints in the body.
His hair is not so soft as it's appear, the war and stress make the hair not so healthy as it seems.
He's ticklish but having no asthma. So safe to be tickle, but he will also revenge it.
He having so many clothes in different style, but will obey if we want to dress him.
Don't have any tattoo and piercings either. He dislikes the pain its bring.
He won't be cheated. He know the best the pain of being tossed away, he even tried to not indulge to his heart even if he fails so no way he wanted to cheat around.
After everything is ending Deon and us will be refugee and living in the quiet place to living as the best as he could. And having a child like himself and us
He will loving his child and us like we're his greatest treasure he having. Killing is the one of his way to protect.
The end

OKAY so today my boss pointed out that out of everyone in circulation, me and another coworker will more likely have patrons be mean to us than my boss and another coworker. we came to the conclusion that’s because me and the other coworker look and sound younger (i'm 23, coworker is 21), so people are more likely to be patronizing and blatantly misogynistic towards us. like looking back, patrons will straight up try to bully us so we cave in lol. i never really thought about it because i do not let this faze me but damn...i do have a lot of patrons who try to test me!

you ever just have a lot, a LOT of feelings all at once about a character and not even remotely enough words or brainpower to FORM the words to describe everything you're feeling. so it feels like you may explode. yeah
#sorry i got really into my feelings about mark hoffman again#the very specific version of him in my brain that i really really wish i had the time and energy to properly share with you guys#saw#well until i muster the energy to explode all of my feelings out into a fic. if you want to TRY and understand#know that my three biggest hoffman fic insps right now are as follows#your best kept secret hoffman. a series of mistakes hoffman. and rushed like a dreadful wind hoffman.#there is a very clear throughline just know i am extremely emotionally compromised rn#thinking about theee fics vs the canon path hoffman spirals down#something something the absolute tragedy of watching a man's descent into madness#the transformation of a man into a monster#and what could have saved him from himself and kramer's corruption#sorry i'm rambling so much oh my god i was just having such a crying fit out of nowhere about this#do you think he could feel it happening. do you think he was aware he was losing his mind.#the script version of him fucks with me so bad. the crazed rankings and the longer hair and him not being well kept anymore#it's impossible to think he didn't know he was deteriorating#fuuuck okay i need to either chill or write a whole longfic rn#i project on that guy so much i truly don't know if i could properly write my vision of him#until i do something more substantial the full extent of my hoffman exists for me and my boyfriend only. they get me like no one else#well ginny and jenna also get me. please read best kept secret and a series of mistakes Oh My God#where am i going with this. i like tag rambling actually this is a nice way to do it without forcing EVERYONE to read my delirium#anyways if you've read all of this i think i love you? feel free to dm me about hoffman and my very specific headcanons and aus#maybe soon i'll try and start writing my fics about this tragic man#i could never say any of this on twitter btw they'd string me up for my opinions on him as a sad wet beast who could have been fixed#if only he hadn't been weaponized first#god i'm too tired to even be as embarrassed about this as i should be. thought i unlearned cringe already#but i've been spending way too much time on twitter and they HAAATE hoffman there#rip. i know it's not that serious but i'm sensitive rn and hate feeling lonely in my thoughts#ok bye for real otherwise i'll never shut up. i might tag ramble more often bc this was therapeutic in a way i needed badly#cat chat

can i requeeeessstt edgar rescuing scriabin from something |D
Tumblr media
Day 6 - There are consequences out here
Bonus, of what he was doing to get stickers in his hair:
Tumblr media
#My art#Requestober#Vargas#Scriabin#Edgar#I really wasn't sure what to do with this one at first! Or rather - I immediately had this and another idea but wasn't satisfied either way#I opted for this one because The Feelings and the bonus - additions oddly energizing!#I think it's that at first I was too strongly reminded of the one I made of Edgar cutting Scriabin's hair#Poses too similar! Feelings too similar! Not new or shiny or sparkly or anything!!!#But then the bonus came to mind and cute Scriabin is always nice <3#And then the pose expanded as well! Different! New challenges!#I've been trying to attempt more fullbodies this year :3 I don't make them that often! It's good practice all round!#Anatomy and consistency and more dynamic posing!!!! All good things :D#And also parts that I'm not as used to drawing - their feetsies turned out nice I think! Ah! Feels like a level up love when that happens#And then the Feelings of it all <3#I love Scriabin impulsively enjoying his body So Badly gah#Being extant in private and getting to fully revel in sensation with no filter no interruptions#Consequences now - new fallouts of his own actions - but the immediacy just Feels so much he can't help it#Edgar chides him of course - he's (had to) grown out of such childish impulses! Aren't you an adult!#Really he just worries neither of them would do well with either gone for long stickers least of all haha#And he likes being useful <3 They're so similar haha Scriabin loves to complain and Edgar loves to fret ♥#They balance each other well for what a handful they are#Scriabin especially of course hehe

not even gonna tag this properly bc i don't wanna get Involved but i do have some Thoughts i need to get out into the void so here we go
(aaa quick edit: CW for mention/discussion of Boothill leaks)
#today's gone Badly and i'm upset but instead of venting abt it i'm gonna channel that energy into doing a bit of tag rambling abt Boothill#well. less abt Him and more abt uh. self-analyzing my anxiety surrounding contributing to fandoms. he's just today's catalyst#like. i know it's mostly a me thing. i'm hypersensitive to criticism and very conflict avoidant + socially anxious + perfectionistic etc.#so I'm the one that keeps myself from posting more stuff out of fear of being criticized or called-out for what i've made#bc inevitably Someone's gonna see it and think its OOC or a problematic take or they'll misread my intent. etc etc what have you#but like. that's inevitable. there's no way to communicate every single thing with all of the nuance required to avoid misunderstandings#and other times it's not a misunderstanding it's just a difference of opinions and that's Fine!! there's no accounting for personal taste#there's no accounting for several things actually. taste‚ bias‚ lore-knowledge‚ differing levels of chronic-online-ness‚ etc#so this isn't me complaining abt the state of fandom culture (although i do think. sometimes. ppl take shit a bit too seriously)#but anyways all of this is mostly just anxiety-fueled. it's not like i very often actually even receive negative feedback or anything#if anything ppl tend to tell me that i'm overthinking it and killing my own fun and worried that my stuff is more OOC than it is#which like. yeah. Yeah u right :) but that's just the way that i am! always losing the idgaf war i suppose#anyways what's Boothill got to do w this ur wondering. well. i've been thinking abt the quickly emerging concept that he's illiterate.#and it just. has me feeling a lot of ways. and watching ppl disagree over it has me feeling some Bad ways. bc it's def a loaded topic!#if you'll pardon the pun there. and i don't rlly have anything new to add other than that i'm conflicted abt it.#like yeah i saw the leaks days ago. of him mentioning 'not hitting the books' much as a child when we ask him why he sends voice messages#or voice Transcriptions ig. ykwim. and like. *braces for impact* ...i liked it? like. it doesn't feel right to call it endearing#i'm not trying to infantilize him. ok that's not the right word either but ugh. you know? what i mean?? who am i kidding even i don't know#it's not quite right to say that it feels like Representation either. but it's something close i guess#as a southern person myself who didn't receive a 'complete' education due to factors that weren't to do with my intelligence#the concept of seeing him as a capable force to be reckoned with and respected who also happens to have not received much formal education#i like that. i do. but there's so many issues w it at the same time. like. as i said‚ being southern myself has me Wary of the way Hoyo is-#writing him. as well as of the way that the fandom is taking the bits of his lore and running away w them. and i'm Very aware of how ppl-#will see a southern character and be All Too Eager to agree that they're lacking intelligence based on our Redneck™ stereotype#sigh. and before we even go too far with this. it's not even confirmed that hes completely illiterate. which is a valid criticism i've seen#there's Multiple reasons that could make him prefer voice to text. but regardless. i'm just worried that ppl will misconstrue my intentions#like. example: that edit i made the other day of him saying 'no thanks i can't read'. wasn't me playing into the stereotype of-#'haha dumb country boy can't read!' it was. in my eyes. something he'd say as a joke to make light of a potential insecurity#like. i think there's far more depth to Boothill's character if ppl could look past the surface. and i dont wanna contribute to the problem#but sometimes ppl Will have stereotypical traits and i wish the same could apply to characters as long as it's done Thoughtfully.

as a Japanese fan of bsd you’ve hit the nail on the head to why i hate this fandoms tendency to go with the “oh it’s so disrespectful to the authors” bc yea it’s my hatred of Japanese nationalism and its agenda to portray their cultural exports as untouchable…it also feels infantilizing in the sense where they can’t picture asagiri doing transformative critique of his country’s “classics” and they are adopting that very same idolatry of Japan
It's also such a flaccid, insincere interpretation of respect that is itself inherently dehumanizing. There is nothing untouchable, and substituting discernment for fawning is much worse than being superficially disrespectful, especially when the subject of your disrespect cannot possibly perceive it, and the only beneficiaries of your deference are states, institutions, and ideological concepts.
I've noticed people tend to strip agency and conscious commentary from Asagiri too. It is exceptionally infantilizing.
#idk i also just don't get deferring to anyone absent a reason#there is a baseline respect you should show to others' personhood perhaps. if I believe in baseline respect at all.#but this certainly isn't that.#once someone told me that you shouldn't look into the bsd authors because they were problematic and some were imperialists#and this may seem discreet from the respect point. but they also made the respect point in the same convo.#refusing to look too closely in either case lest you experience something resembling discomfort or contradiction or tonal dissonance#but by refusing to look where you think there may be something unpleasant#you are training yourself. to look away. when there is something unpleasant.#you are taking real people and real events and real violence and willfully teaching yourself not to recognize them or their patterns#ensuring they will happen again#i have “passivity is the crucible of subjugation” tattooed on the back of my thigh and i fucking mean it#also like more often than not you're being defensive for a wholly separate reason and you need to meet your own damn needs#before you start crusading for someone you can't even conceptualize as a person rather than a theme#i'm trying not to rant about how wildly unhelpful it is to refuse to engage with the nasty parts of fear and humanity and history#and how quickly abstractions become viciously harmful#but I have some more work to do before I can go to sleep#and i need to sleep. because i do not respect the only beneficiaries of my exhaustion.

the eternal struggle of reading webcomics/manga/manh(w/u)a that i think are really good but have cringe ass titles so i can't recommend them without someone doubting my sensibilities and taste in stories
#not that my tastes are *that* good...#or do people ask me for good comics often enough for this to be a real problem#or.. people talking to me at all for this conversation to come up...#anyway please ask for some comics to read. i need someone to join me in my warrior's path#of reading things but never finishing them because either they aren't done being#written and/or translated yet..#or whatever the word for when adhd says i can't read any more because the story is *too* good and so i get paralysis trying to keep reading#to anyone curious-#i just caught up with sss-class revival hunter#and was reminded how much of a sucker i am for romance... ;_:#GUH i can't gush in the tags here... there's already too many tags#but it's soo good#here's my recommend of it for those reading the tags:#really good starting plot- read a synopsis for that i'm bad at that#there's a little dip in attention keeping between the end of the introduction phase and when he starts floor 10#but if you get past that little dip it's all up hill from there#ough i'm still thinking about it.#IT'S NOT A ROMANCE BTW. the most recent plot is romance but that's not the overarching thing#at least for what's out. idk how much what happened is going to effect the rest of the story#ok ok i need to stop talking about it because i'm getting too riled up and overpowering the melatonin i took. don't want to break my sleep#schedule over this#key's lockbox#rambling in tags#btw i don't have shame in the stuff i read regardless of their bad titles#i just wanted to use this premise to get my words out about enjoying my latest read

going back through some of this fandom's history has made me realise, we really see people as black and white good or bad don't we?
#like i hope we're getting better (i think we are)#but it has me wondering. how much fandom treatment of 5sos partners was based off one specific incident#but also shaped how people viewed that one specific incident?#i'm glad we want our faves to be well and happy. i just think we also are not immune to misogyny sometimes#guess who just watched the lie to me mv for the first time ever#it's important that people get to tell their stories don't get me wrong. and there was a lot of authenticity in this#however if our instinct is to just totally not ever believe women we also have to ask ourselves why#at least people were really glad for sierra at the time? but look how that went. she was human and people turned on her too#these things can both be true. sometimes women to genuinely bad things. AND we hold women to impossible standards#and then dehumanise them the minute we do something wrong#which is bound to happen at some point!#also. someone can still be a good person and not make good decisions 100% of the time. think about that before you disregard#something someone says being like 'my fave would never they must be lying' why is lying our go-to? yes they might be lying but#this shouldn't be our assumption. just because people are reluctant to admit our faves might not be Completely Perfect#fwiw i think rn we're doing a lot better in terms of that though. in terms of destigmatising mental illness and addiction too#it's just. reality is often just complicated? no one's all good or all bad. yes people should be free to tell the story of their experience#but in order to be ethical consumers of their story we need to realise that just because it highlights one aspect of someone#it doesn't mean that's all there is to them. and it doesn't mean that's all there is to the story either (even though it's not false!)#like how we're been discussing in swiftie spaces. storytelling is GOING TO BE BIASED. when we acknowledge that we won't be as reactive

when i was younger this whole ''no romantic or sexual experience" thing made me feel deeply unlovable and it still does but in a different way. now i've somehow convinced myself that i'm not supposed to desire anyone like that. like it's not meant for me. it's me who can't love now. not other people.
#feeling emo#no but i'm literally the problem cause it's not like i'm trying to ''put myself out there''#but it's too scary and i don't want to and i'm not ready and there's no time and i like the routine of being alone#i've had crushes before and they were strong and lasted honestly too long for being crushes#but that's too far away from now#and i always looked at myself as the girl who won't get the boy#the crush was always unrequited#i was okay with only looking cause it's not like there's anything other than that for a girl like me#living life in a larger body is truly not a kind experience#there's so many other things that made relationship and love scary for me but being fat is the biggest reason for not even trying#and they you talk to your skinny friends and hear their experience with men and it's so awful for the most part#and then you think well if they treat them that way how would i be treated#i just don't want to be hurt#or hurt someone else#i'm used to at looking at love from a distance and i'll live anyway#some days it just harder than others#like the hard part is that i feel like im doing something wrong#like im living life wrong like i shouldn't be this uncomfortable and scared#so often it happens that i just can't relate to other people my age#like im too serious and in my head to be fun and get drunk at parties#and to serious and in my head to be in love and be loved and be seen#they all have this more casual stance on romance and they'll make out with people in the dorm bathrooms but i can't do that#and i don't want to either#i'm slow and boring and it would probably take six months to prepare myself for a kiss#it all seems so big to me#lovely feeling we're having tonight#personal

it is saturday and I am but a simple highschooler and I am so so tired and it is literally 12:15pm and I want to just sit here and eat my banana pudding
#failing to control those emotions I mentioned earlier I am so angry and sick and frustrated#fuck the world why is fandom so complicated#I keep thinking abt shit I've heard and shit I've somewhat experience and I want to scream into a pillow for four hours#engaging in interests always makes me half regret it bc of all the shit I have to hear abt because of fandom.#I don't regret joining any of the fandoms because of the INCREDIBLE and AWESOME people and friends I get to meet because of it#but stuff also is bad and annoying sometimes#I am starting to understand why most people refuse to engage and interact with other people in fandoms. its because#you slowly learn of all the drama and then you end up feeling like you're being pulled on by either end#it feels like I'm constantly the rope in a game of tug of war when it comes to most fandom spaces. like this experience happens too often#because ohhh you have this one side who believes this and another who believes that#AND SOMETIMES I MAKE STUPID POSTS OR COMMENTS THAT I GET REMINDED OF A BUNCH AND I WANT TO CRY.#I'm literally a fucking kid dammit I am not trying to change the world or anyhthing I just have opinions and I say them and sometimes#I speak before I think and sometimes I'm wrong and that is something that happens. not all of my opionions are solid locked in constantly#and SOMETIMES people who I think are cool turn out to be LESS COOL and SOMETIMES I feel like I say or do things that ruin my friends'-#-fandom experience and I fear they secretly hate me#okay that's it rant's over now

random thought usually i kin characters that i love the most or characters i rather hate in a way (hate is too strong of a word though hmm)
#i usually don't exactly share things outright or directly abt myself to others. if you go out of your way to do so or analyze me you're#always welcome to do so ngl that intrigues me a lot. i do that w others often n the idea of the same happening to me just feels too foreign#i know hmm why exactly i'm like this rn n i don't care enough anymore to rlly write about it anymore#each time i think i write too much or say too much that's usually when i get worse n worse#earlier this year this summer when i was doing pretty well but then.. 'i talk too much'#n then part of me just disappeared since then#it hurts when it always feels like a part of me is just always hidden in a way. not that it's my intention bcs#i really want to just be myself n be authentic or wtvr but#this.. loneliness that has always been with me that i#hmm. thinking abt it n i haven't had any good dreams lately huh. despite sleeping early i still haven't rlly slept well#n the real world feels like a dream too. n then#this emptiness that's just always there despite all the things that have made me happy lately. it all feels like a dream#the past feels so far away. the sight of the stars the dawn on the horizon. the clouds yonder over the beach#all of it slipping out of my reach. the chill breeze hugging me n how free i felt in all those moments#reaching out.. reaching out wld leave me be to either fall or drown#in a literal sense n. also metaphorically#in hesitance for either outcome. perhaps everything's just taken away by the wind instead.#every trace taken away by the rain that floods my mind?#dunno what i'm writing. i just can't feel that i'm.. living properly. despite all of this#that disconnection or wtvr along w the regret n guilt n wtvr that just. piled up or wtvr#i lost a part of me that night. all these reflections confuse me so much n just warp my mind to other worlds#dilemmas so many dilemmas n these thoughts n emotions just contradict so painfully n#i'm fine. but. i don't want to forsake my progress or my younger n future self n#who am i? what do i want? why can't i.. reach out? incompetence on so many levels it gets hard to hold unto myself#but still i'll hope i guess. still dream n wish n write. but i'm just losing my energy n motivation to connect w reality#i'm sorry. for everything. so much i can't write.. but everything's crammed in my head or smth. but i'll be fine i'm fine#this is my fault. i'll do this on my own. i'm sorry#it's so confusing bcs i love myself more than i hate myself n i know what i need n should do but. yeah#i'll be fine eventually. with wtvr i'll do n wtvr pain so long as i still live even if i lose hope so long as i hold unto tomorrow..#i'm too tired to reach out for others n for myself anymore. i'm sorry. i'll be fine though i'll just think of other stuff for now
