#i dont know what im doing but I'm doing it

[shewritesinthethirdperson]

Right now there is a group of people bitching about the possibility of property taxes going up. These people, and many more, think there is fat to trim from the budget, but also complain about the state of the roads in the county, lack of services (like a hospital, or even just an emergency department), lack of jobs, the possibility of cutting the ambulance contract, etc.

One person, after a recent meeting where a number of people showed up to express dislike for property taxes going up, said that things used to be better 50 years ago.

That person was *so close* to getting it. Now I'm all for budgeting transparency and being responsible with the money being used, and Im not going to say that there isnt any mismanagement, because frankly, I dont know. What I do know is that without revenue, the county cant afford to improve roads, fund a hospital, etc. And with their party trying to cut funding on the national level for things like medicaid, medicare, education, infrastructure, it's going to get even worse here, because the state definitely wont be filling that gap.

As someone from the rural south, I actually don’t mind evil Republican Californian transplants. It’s kind of funny to witness them crash out after realizing there are no sidewalks and the nearest hospital is an hour and a half away. Maybe if enough of them vacate the state, the cost of living will go down and I can move there.

what kind of dates do u and coryo go on ?

ok. ok. ok. drags chair closer. clears throat

what kind of dates do me and coryo go on??????????????????????????

ok so. dates. yea. we go on them. i guess. if you can call it that. like what even counts

dates with coryo are a spectrum. it goes from him taking me to a 3-star michelin place in brooklyn to us going to get pretzels and walking aimlessly because i said i wanted to look at ugly buildings and gossip

is it a date when hes picking me up from mine and i still dont have lip balm on so hes already leaning out of the passenger seat like emma. and im literally running back upstairs to get a different jacket

is it a date when we end up at that one fucking place in soho because he trusts their raw fish (you're not special for liking sashimi sir this is new york) and im literally just there stealing his jacket sleeves and being like "can i post this?" while hes in the middle of explaining the federal reserve or whatever.

like it is either dinner in a private room at caviar russe with my heels off under the table and him manspreading and mansplaining why my pasta is undercooked (he's annoying) OR it's us in sweats sharing a big bag of sour candy outside the met because we're both overstimulated and don't want to go inside

dont know what the hell you mean by date but if it means "him and me and food" then yes. every day. if it means romance. i dont know. maybe. kind of.

once he booked a private cinema just for us and i fell asleep in the middle of it because the seats were warm.

sometimes he takes me on long drives and we dont talk for like half an hour and im just chewing gum and looking out the window and he's got one hand on my thigh like we're 38 and married and on a break from our kids

we go to art galleries. sometimes. but only ones where i can wear a bow. and complain. and stand too long in front of the paintings and say she looks like me. and he says she doesn't. and i say youre wrong. and he shrugs.

we get lunch at the met rooftop when it's sunny. but also we've made out in the staff elevator. we've done dinner at carbone like yes ok we get it. but we've also eaten gas station snacks on the floor of his bedroom because we got home at 2am and neither of us wanted to cook.

he gets me candy before films. he picks the films. he lets me pick the drink. i get in the car and he's already pulled up the reservation without me asking.

he'll ask if i want to walk instead and then gets annoyed five minutes in because i stop to look at pigeons and lv window displays and then want to sit. we go to the same cafe every sunday and pretend we haven't memorised each other's orders. we don't take pictures but he always has some disgusting little blurry one on his phone like me chewing a croissant or talking with my hands. we go out. we stay in. we make pasta that burns. we book things that get cancelled. he likes when i plan things because i always overdo it. i like when he plans things because i never have to worry.

he never lets me go home without a snack. i never let him forget to compliment my outfit. we never really plan anything. we just. go. we're always going. i'm in his passenger seat half the week. he's in my bed the rest. is that a date? dont care. its love. anyway. next question.

anyways we've been to the fifth row of a jazz club where he refused to let me order a drink because he doesn't trust the barman's face. and the dumb korean place in brooklyn where he literally knows the chef. they fistbump. i'm not joking. my bed. don't be gross. like actually my bed. popcorn. his rooftop. us on those dumb low outdoor couches. me wearing his hoodie and stealing his fries. the little secondhand bookshop on madison where i pointed at a copy of the stranger and he went "don't you own six of those?" and i went "this one's purple." the hermes showroom where i didnt mean to flirt with the salesgirl and he didn't mean to get jealous but both happened. and a hotel in montauk for literally eight hours because we needed to get out and then we got bored and drove home. the barnes and noble cafe. mid. but he carried my tote bag so it evened out. the top of the empire state at night meanwhile he was wearing a suit. and the MoMA but he kept getting annoyed at the tourists and we had to leave.

we're definitely never going to times square. or coachella. or anywhere that involved matching outfits or couples experiences. or bowling. or dubai. or any cafe with pink walls and overpriced pancakes unless i beg. and those instagram restaurants with drinks in lightbulbs. vegas. theme parks that aren't aesthetic. he asked me to shoot him if we ever go to a cruise

ok

thats the conclusion next map pls

the thing abt Just wanting to identify as nb (or whatever your trans identity is) online & not have ppl know what your assigned gender is & then being upset when ppl ask you to specify (mostly in the context of tme/tma) is... yeah it's an appealing idea that u dont have to get judged by your assigned gender online and people just Don't Know. i did it too, for an extremely long time, i would only tell ppl i was very close to that i was specifically transfem. (i would say i'm nb and my pronouns were s/he - which was also a deliberate choice to be "secretive" - bc i felt like if you put she/he or he/she people assume the first choice is the "trans" one, if that makes sense)

and so from my extensive experience i can tell you this with great confidence. Being mysterious and evasive about it does NOT make people unsure about what your assigned gender is. if you are on tumblr, it will ALWAYS make people think you're transmasc.

other trans people aren't somehow immune to making assumptions about your identity (and i don't think it's always bad) but literally no one is out there thinking "oh my friend doesnt say whether they're transmasc or transfem so im not sure...." they think you're transmasc. even if you're not transmasc they think you're transmasc. everyone who i eventually told i was transfem told me that all that time they thought i was transmasc.

you are Not living your perfect online gender life where you avoid saying your assigned gender and so no one knows or thinks about it. people do know, or at least they do think about it, even if those people are trans. the only one who thinks no one will know about it is you...and i mean especially if you're avoiding telling anyone bc it makes you Upset while you actively participating in trans discourse people are absolutely going to want to know (& be able to tell why you're avoiding telling). it is better to be honest

[qeva173]

Heard you have an insane 007n7 au, it seems pretty cool. Care to tell more about it?

(You dont have to if you dont wanna it just seems very interesting)

Sure! I would love to tell you more about it :D (sorry for answering late lmao didn't think i would get an ask)

This au was just for the shits and giggles (I was bored as hell that day and got an idea from a roblox game) but i slowly got invested 😭

I was thinking of naming this AU as Twisted Fates (might actually change it if someone gives a better suggestion) instead of Insane 007n7 since i was thinking of adding more characters

(Unfortunately, I'm not thinking of adding EVERY character being stuck in a mental asylum like poor ol' 007n7 here, just other crazy wild situations my mind can think of)

Basically what happened to 007n7 in this AU, He never retired as a hacker.

TW : mention of k1dnapp1ng, sk1nning & murb3r

A mysterious and mischievous exploiter who was wanted almost anywhere in Robloxia for years. But on one fateful day, his C00lgui malfunctioned.

It.. gave him an illusion, something that was stuck on his mind.

"C00lkid.."

The name rung in his head over and over, he didn't know why but he felt this person was important.. and he must find this person.. so what did he do? Why, he'd kidnapped a blue child who was wandering around aimlessly, sk1nned him and hot ironed the text 'Team C00lkid, Join Today!' on the child's chest of course!! (I'm so sorry Bluddud fans 😭😭)

(Note : this is where i start getting tired so bare with me here chat🔥🔥)

Now everyday, he would go cause chaos most of the time outside but every now and then he would spend time with his.. 'son' whenever it being playing or eating with C00lkid. But slowly because of the C00lgui's malfunction, he was mentally getting worse by the day.

After weeks of the body rotting in 007n7's house.. neighbours around would notice the strange rotting smell coming from the house, and sooner or later.. the authorities (or mods?? man idfk) gets involved. 007n7 was then arrested on the spot after the authorities finds out he was the notorious hacker they've been looking for years, AND ALSO! For kidnapping and killing a child. (Bluudud)

007n7 started shouting out blabbering nonsense saying that everything he did was justified and not down right disgusting and violent.. talking about his son was real to the authorities. (Cough Cough spoiler alert : didn't end well and 007n7 was sent to a insane asylum)

That's all i could really explain about this silly werid AU! Im not good with this type of thing so any ideas or improvements would be very much appreciated :3

Oh yeah bonus, have Elliot in this AU

Uhm.. go my PizzaBurger plz don't die!!b💓

[localmentallyillwriter]

sighs loudly and dramatically

Hey gng, wanna see the new project I've decided to fixate on ?? GREAT, YOUR BEING FORCED TO ANYWAY🫵🫵🫵

BASICALLY, I'm planing a game🧍‍♂️ even tho I have very minimal coding skills, and no game app/website to even make it on, BUT WHO CARES ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW I DREW SOME PICTURES FOR IT !!!!

I have the premises written down, but I don't wanna share in case someone theives >:((

All that is needed to be know is that it's a Jirai based game, and you get to customise your character ! So that's what I started to do. (Idk what the name would be probably smth like 'Don't make the Landmine explode' or some other corny shit like that)

I did 3 body types (thin, average and chubbier) as well as a variety genders and skin tones (I JS RLLY WANNA INCLUDE EVERY JIRAI, especially considering all the trans jirai and jirai danshi hate that has been happening recently. I think that's what sparked this idea for me, cause I want there to be a jirai game for everyone ^^ !!!!)

Im not too experienced in drawing chubby characters so mb if it looks off, these are some drafts not the final product

This is the thin body type with the skin tones available.

This is the average (I hate using that term but I lack words to use) body type with the different eyes available.

And then this is the chubbier body type with the starting front hair peices that will be available

Here are some facial feature changes ^^

There will be 3 options when the game opens

-cis

-trans/nb

-other

And depending what option clicked will depend on what the person can choose. These are some of the changes that will be for the trans characters :]

If you have a problem with this please js block me, I don't want ppl to get angry ♡

Here are the trans women ones ^^

I do apologise for these, I probably will edit these as I don't really know what trans women do that's the equivalent of a binder (I tried searching it up and padded bras came up so I used that, but all tips and feedback will be helpful ^^)

This last one is for anyone who doesn't want any gender associated with them (very minimal changes).

This one could also be used for xeno/neo users, that dont feel comflrtable with any defining masc or fem features. I'd probably add where the person playing can add their xenos/neos (of course with the exception of slurs, swears,derogatory terms, or religious words. I'm sorry for the religious ones, but as a Christian it makes me slightly uncomfortable when someone wants to identiny as god. I think the others are pretty self explanitory.)

ANYWAY, THIS IS ALL I HAVE SO FARRRRR, WAHHHH I HATE HOW IVE ALREADY GOTTEN SO ATTACHED TO THIS IDEA ALREADY💔💔💔💔

(Special thanks to @insufferablewhore for listening to me yap about the very shitty and loose plot and for letting me use them as inspo for a character ^^ )

Incase u wanna know more abt Jirais ^^

Tw: su!cide, s3lf harm, drvgs, illegal sex work

(Jirai isn't meant to really be a cute subculture (well the clothes are, not the lifestyle lol), if you come across a jirai and are uncomfortable by their actions, just block the tag and them. Jirais are supposed to be mentally ill, they need a safe space and sometimes online spaces are the only place they can get it, do not report them and take away their safe space. And any fellow jirais reading >////< HAIIII ♡♡♡♡♡♡)

THATS ALL FOR NOW, THANKS FOR LISTENING TO ME YAP !!!!

Clearing the air on the “Bychance vs Byler Civil War”

Bylers vs Bychancers? More like Bylers & Bychancers vs The Miscommunication Trope ( something like that ).

Why this is what i think is actually going on:  

This is NOT Mileven vs Byler 2.0 at all because bychance has not ONCE been proposed as a replacement for Byler, at least not from myself or @cypherheartnokey which are ( as far as im aware ) the main people theorizing about it right now. I personally don’t even see it as a real ship, but that’s just me. 

HOW THIS WHOLE THING STARTED ( as far as i know )

So a few days ago, i made this post:

I used the Byler tag and have continued to do so bc skeptic ( and even full on anti-bychance ) Bylers were my intended TARGET AUDIENCE for this. I knew there was a risk I would get some hate for taking it seriously since Bychance was never supposed to be more than just a silly and fun crackship that the fandom made up. (😭im not even gonna pretend I don't go into laughing fits over how absolutely bonkers I sound to myself most days. cypherheartnokey and others --you pookies know who you are <3-- who See The Things Im Seeing keep me sane istg my ride or die fr ) 

It was just supposed to be a fun writing exercise to see if my current ideas held up under scrutiny from bylers. To test myself, basically. 

MY INITIAL ASSUMPTION 

Before I posted, I thought the risk of getting dogpiled on & getting called 'delusional' & whatever else was worth it bc, to my surprise, my earlier Bychance analyses had been well received–even though some of the Bylers engaging with them don’t really think Bychance will happen, they still think the theories about it are entertaining and fun to read and offer input on. This has led to some interesting conversations about Mike and Will’s arcs, and it’s been nice through this content drought. 

However, what i did NOT anticipate was to cause a ‘ship war’--I really didn’t think this would cause harm and that anyone would stoop so low as to send death threats over differing opinions on hypothetical ships that may or may not even happen in the show & even if they do, nothing guarantees they’ll happen in a way we’re perfectly happy with, let’s please be real about our expectations here since we have 0 control over the creative direction the duffers will actually take. 

All we can hope for is that us Bylers truly are amongst their intended target audience and that the show delivers a satisfying closure.  

MY INTENTIONS & WHY I WILL CONTINUE TO USE THE BYLER TAG ( with discretion )

Using the Byler tag allows like-minded Bylers to find my theories–without the tag, it'd be harder for them to find them. 

However, I WILL be extra thoughtful with my use of the tag going forward, and make sure I'm using it when the conversation centers Byler/Mike/Will and other themes pertaining to Byler.

MY CURRENT STANCE

for anyone receiving death threats or insults on behalf of “bychance shippers”, you DO NOT deserve that. Please report and block, if possible. these people are saboteurs, and just want to stir drama without caring about the harm they cause to the community. In fact, they probably enjoy it tbh. 

i do also have to say that i am no authority here and cannot be tone policing other bychancers. i also can’t pretend i am entirely neutral in this scenario since from what I've observed, my bychance mutuals and anons are REACTING to hate we’re getting from bylers. And whereas I'm aware that type of hate is only coming from a handful of people in the community, not all of us will be patient and graceful at all times, we’re human after all.

I dont care if a mileven calls me delusional, i laugh. But when bylers i have admired and learned from for years call one of us stupid for thinking/suspecting X theory might be hinted at and getting stomped on for trying to bring the conversation to the table, yeah I can't guarantee that's not gonna trigger a defense mechanism over time.

Do you personally have to like Bychance or agree? Absolutely not, nobody is saying that. And good faith critiques of the theory are always welcomed and I actually encourage it in my space as long as we keep it civil and follow fandom etiquette, since it keeps fandom alive.  

FINAL THOUGHTS 

The very message of the show we’re discussing is to choose love in the face of fear, and to not let it drive our choices and unawarely continue to feed the cycle of abuse and trauma. Let's do our best to not keep repeating, amongst each other, what we have already been subjected to by the most hateful parts of the ST fandom. 

i'm here to learn and have fun, not to cause wars, discourse or division--bychance as a theory is just the jumpstart and can change over time and maybe even become something else entirely. the goal is just to open the door for those curious enough to investigate, share and discuss any findings. Whether or not you go in, it's up to you. Just don't be mean to the ones that do.

[asha-dasha]

TELL ME UR DIOMEDES HEADCANONS ... all of them (also I like your epic trauma studies fics btw)

Hhhhhhmnnnggggg all of them would take soooooo long I am thinking about Diomedes 24/7.

- Comaetho wanted a baby sister and was DEVASTATED when Deipyle and Tydeus were like "here's your brother!" she still complains about it when Dio is especially annoying to her

- the first time he actually heard about what Tydeus did at Thebes (a lot of what he hears is filtered through mentors or his mother), he was 12 or 13 and he threw up.

- speaking about Tydeus eating brains, Diomedes sometimes gets really queasy around raw meat, this mostly goes away after Thebes because he's scene real guts and gore

- as a kid, did NOT understand the concept of tact. He would say anything that comes to mind, the first time he meets the rest of the Epigoni (probably around age 10 or so, he called one of them ugly). He's been beat up enough to develop some sort of filter

More below the cut :))))

- hhhnnngggg he has autism lets just get that out of the way and his special interests are horses and fighting and adrenaline rushes

- when hes not in an adrenaline rush, he gets overstimulated pretty easily but has learned to mask very well

- in Thebes, he truly found himself. He became a man there, which is why he gravitates toward battle

- Every calculated action he makes, he views as an offering to Athena way of showing that he won't disappoint her like his father did

- he loves a hater, loves to be a hater. this is why he gets along with Sthenelus and later Odysseus, aka the biggest haters he knows

- Diomedes LOVES to sleep, it's his favorite hobby.

- he is not a morning person or a night person do not wake him up

- I'm so serious he loves his beauty sleep so much he will sleep 10 hours easy if you let him

- he and Athena dont speak much when it's just the two of them. They gesture and grumble, very rarely do they actually speak.

- scared of a man who has everything to lose (Hector). When people are hopeless they get sloppy but calculated people are so much more deadly

- DESPISES Paris because he's babied by his family, Diomedes was forced by his mother to swear an oath to avenge his father when he was too young to even know what that means, why should Paris be protected? His mistakes got them all here

- I think Diomedes and Antilochus would have been war besties but Antilochus is too loud for him (odysseus talks a lot but is rarely loud)

- after he injuried aphrodite and ares he had a panic attack that Athena would hate him, it took Odysseus and Athena's reassurances to calm him down

- not my hc its from "A Thousand Ships" by Natalie Haynes, but he and Odysseus make faces at each other during war meetings when others aren't looking

- jokes about being odysseus's eromenos, odysseus hates these jokes

- doesnt sleep well post-pallidium

I have more but these are the ones from the top of my head, Im currently writing a Diomedes goes to Ithaca AU fic so I have more but idk which ones I'll use.

SHADOWVANILLA FANFIC PART 2!! (Warning: NSFW)

(Btw I'd suggest you read the first part 2 know wtf is happenin-)

Y-you win! Okay, happy?! Just..please quit it, won't you?! Shadow Milk muttered clenching his jaw.

Hmm..dont think so, bluebird Pure Vanilla said with a soft smile as he began to increase his pace. Shadow Milk let out an even louder noise with his former whines and whimpers now turned into full-on gasps and moans, more specifically of his name.

Did I ever tell you how pretty you sound, bluebird? Pure Vanilla said softly as he stroked his fingers through his hair.

Shadow Milk's blush worsened and he tried to say Pure Vanilla's name in a threatening tone but all that came out was a choked moan as he suddenly increased his pace.

Hm, what was that bluebird?

S-shut your..bloody trap- Shadow Milk muttered trembling more as he felt himself get closer.

Suddenly a loud boomed voice was heard alongside heavy footsteps that could only belong to the guards causing both of them to jump out of their skin.

Get down get down! Pure Vanilla whispered in a hushed tone as he quickly draped his large cloak over him.

Shadow Milk grumbled but quickly softened up upon being covered by the comforting scent of vanilla and warm sunlight.

"Lord Vanilla, are you alright? I heard the news from a guard that that treacherous Shadow Milk has been seen around these fine areas!"

Pure Vanilla sighed and crossed his arms with an unamused look across his face, please I wish for you not to bother me in my rare moments of bliss, you should understand, right?

Y-yes..but-

No buts, I need for you to leave and PREFERABLY to not speak il of those who I l- I mean truly despise, just take your leave.

F-fine.. The guard muttered bowing with his palm on his heart as a sign of respect before he took his leave.

Soon the guard left and all was silent in the Pure Vanilla garden per usual. Pure Vanilla sighed but his feeling of relaxation was soon replaced with guilt that tugged at his heart due to how he simply tossed Shadow Milk aside.

B-bluebird..I'm sorry for that, I swear I didn't mean for th- He said softly as he walked over to Shadow Milk who was out of the frame and hidden by a fountain surrounded by various plant life.

Bluebird im so sorry I swear I di- Pure Vanilla said apologetically before he was immediately cut off by the sight of him no longer hidden as he walked over.

What's with the look, dumbass...Shadow Milk grumbled.

Pure Vanilla's eyes looked over the sight laid before him barely able to look away. Shadow Milk sat there with his hair a total mess, his face now covered with a blue hue blush and a pleading look on his face paired with his eyes wide and a needful look with his aching having gotten worse as it twitched and leaked more all over his lap.

P-please- I-I need..this- Pure Vanilla muttered breathlessly as he kneeled and sat beside him with both of his hands firmly placed on his knees forcing them open, exposing his aching more.

W-what do you THINK you're doing, PV?! W-what if the GUARD comes back!? Shadow Milk sputtered as his eyes widened.

I don't care...I need this, just please let me have this... Pure Vanilla pleaded as he looked up at Shadow Milk's embarrassed face that looked like he wanted to say something but was unable to.

F-fine- Shadow Milk muttered looking away as his entire being burned from the feeling of humiliation by PV's crude vague question.

Quickly Pure Vanilla wasted no time and wrapped his palm around his aching with it's sensitive self twitching as he began to take it in his mouth.

As Pure Vanilla took him in Shadow Milk quickly gripped onto his hair roughly and let out a groan, already overwhelmed by the various sensations.

D-damn it, you're gonna kill me, PV... He muttered between soft whines and muffled whimpers.

Pure Vanilla gripped his thighs and looked up at him with an apologetic yet smug look as he began to take him in.

Y-You little- Shadow Milk sputtered before he quickly let out a loud whimper alongside choked moans and gasps.

S-so..warm, oh god...PV, please- Shadow Milk whimpered and gasped as he roughly tugged on his hair harder without a care for all the claw marks left behind.

You taste so good, my love..please forever let me pleasure you Pure Vanilla said softly as he gripped his hips pulling him closer and forcing it all in.

Shadow Milk shuddered and trembled as he gripped his hair tighter with his aching twitching and leaking more light blue slightly sweet fluid. Shadow Milk tried to speak but all he could manage out was a whine followed by a strangled moan.

Pure Vanilla looked up and felt his heart rate increase as he saw the scene of Shadow Milk trembling with his mascara dripping down his cheeks as he shakily gripped onto his shoulders trying not to finish.

C-can I..p-please- He muttered in a strained voice with his voice cracking, barely able to get the words out.

Not yet, love, good things take time Pure Vanilla said softly as he looked up at a pleading Shadow Milk. Shadow Milk kicked his foot in a tantrum-like manner before he tightly gripped his hair harder and rolled his eyes. C-cmon?! You and me BOTH know that's bullshit?! He said with almost a growl to his voice as he forced a glare.

Pure Vanilla rolled his eyes and looked up at him, quit whining, won't you? He said scoffing with his voice laced with annoyance. Here..I'll take care of you, just let me, bluebird he said softly.

Pure Vanilla's fingers lingered on SMC's lips before he gently pushed two of his fingers in his mouth, there...

Shadow Milk let out an embarrassed whine before he slightly parted his lips and took two of his fingers in. Shadow Milk looked down at him with his ears burning up from embarrassment as gently bit down and wrapped his blue tongue around him suckling at the taste of vanilla.

That's it, bluebird... Pure Vanilla said softly as he gently pulled him closer.

So..p-please can I now- Shadow Milk muttered with his voice sounding meek.

Alright, don't worry, I'm a cookie of my word after all he said chuckling, Pure Vanilla said playfully as he looked up at him with a slight smile.

A darker blue hue tinted over SMC's face, spreading from his ears to his upper face as he muttered something along the lines of "Whatever, PV.."

As time passed Shadow Milk soon found himself digging his sharp teeth into his fingers with his noises slowly growing louder as he felt himself right on the edge.

"P-Pure Vanilla.." Shadow Milk muttered breathlessly as he looked down at him with his mascara running more down his cheeks as he held onto him tighter.

Don't worry, I've got you, love... Pure Vanilla said softly as he gently rubbed his thumb on the center of his palm causing him to calm down.

This small affectionate gesture finally caused Shadow Milk's heartbeat to calm down. Before he knew it his composure snapped with him accidentally forcing all of the aftermaths down his throat from how hard he was gripping his hair.

Slowly Pure Vanilla pulled away looking rather messy. His hair was a mess, the robes he wore under his cloak revealing underneath slightly the slits from Shadow Milk's scars, and his body was covered in purple and red markings.

G-good heveans..I sure haven't had quite an encounter like that with my "enemies" in a while, haven't I, bluebird? He said chuckling as he tugged him closer with his head back on his lap.

Oh yeah, h-hah..hah..reallll funny pal! Shadow Milk said out of breath while forcing his typical snarky tone.

You don't seem to be too amused with me, my bluebird?

Oh shut your trap, PV... Shadow Milk grumbled as he buried his face deeper in Pure Vanilla's lap.

-End-

I'm not gonna lie, I can't see delilah as someone whos like, pure evil or something. I've always just seen her as morally grey and. yeah. I don't really know what else to say here. I know theres still a lot of lore that we haven't uncovered yet so not all of it is clear, but I truly cant see delilah as anything other than that

also its silly to think that delilah would be like a mother figure to the toons sometimes. as a break from whatever is happening in canon

FRRRR. NO LITERALLY. MORALLY GREY DELILAH MY BELOVED I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE JUST CALL HER EVIL AUGHHH shes so much more interesting as a nuanced character . Ive taklked abt this witjbmy good friend phantom a lot (shoutout to them delilah fan extraordinaire) but imo delilah is far from evil,,, her actions have good intentions, but her Methods of doing things are often questionable and have consequences. she tends to weigh pros and cons differently, yk. she lacks empathy and doesnt express much emotion but that doesnt make someone evil. and while we're on this topic i think that arthur is much more interesting when hes morally gray too!! even though hes warmer, kinder and more expressive than delilah (and yknow . wasnt the one creating the toons) its more interesting to interpret him as somewhat selfish and ignorant. pure good/evil characters are BORING give me some nuance ‼️ (and to be clear im not trying to defend delilah or villainize arthur. please reread this paragraph if you think thats what im doing)

Im a little iffy on the mother thing, idk i just dont think that delilah has that kind of relationship with the toons. More of a distant creator/creation relationship.

and, lighthearedly its a slippery slope to go down. im not trying to say that youre being straight up misogynistic (because it CAN be interesting to explore, really depends on how you treat female characters as a whole) but it can be harmful to put the Motherly label on every female character, especially if it doesnt fit their personality ^^"

[n0thing-tastes-as-good]

I dont even know what the point is anymore. Ive not been able to restrict lately because anorexia is so bad for cognitive functions and ive had exams that i NEED to do well on. The thing is ive not been doing well on the exams AND im back to my SW so i feel so stupid and fat and im miserable. This is so frustrating and so many of my plans with friends involve food or meals and it'll look so suspicious if im constantly restricting especially since one of my friends had an ED so she knows the signs. I'm gonna be so huge for summer which means ill be huge when i start school in September. This is a nightmare.

Here is one pick up line i accidently made when watching a movie at school

Me: im going to steal something

My friend: what are you going to steal?

Me: you

I dont know why but its just random and ive been using it for some of my ships XDX

i did a very random pick up line that i'm still proud of

me, to my girlfriend: man, i want to eat something sweet, but we don't have anything at home

len: yeah, it do be like that sometimes

me: and you're an ocean away-

[starry-sophrosyne]

for me its cheerleader vern, popular-boy nick, jock brentm and nerdy sophist but aughhh i cant tell you how many minor/incomplete high school aus i've made esp with the influx of new pc rpf characters (basically just crashing, cherie, and bertrand lmao)

i have:

- a doomed cheriecrash one (surprise surprise (ভ_ ভ) /j /silly) with evil bertrand (and i do mean EVIL like.. he tries to stab.. uh.. nvm no spoilers ahaha- (ˊᗜˋ;) /hj /gen /sorry pen ╥﹏╥) - a "nerd-turned-into-popular-jock" brent fallout one ft. the three WOTC doomed ships (mon-cheroi fucked up BIG time- O__O /gen) and a whole boatload of miscommunication/struggling - a general one with platonic crashphist and mon-cheroi as long time/childhood friendships, both pining for the other duo

and yes I KNOW crashing and sophist dont interact in WOTC legit at all but i found this audio that's legit perfect for what i think their friendship would be, and i think crashing would be down for it too XD /hj /lh /silly ; they're legit just "nerd" girl and "nerd" boy friendship but it's clumsy fujoshi and chaos incarnate LMAO- XD /hj /lh /silly

-------------------------------------------------------------

speaking of which, i have had royal chaotic love aka RCL (no i could not think of a better ship name as my brain is currently fried- /hj /nm /lh) spinning around in my head for a bit. do i like it? im not sure yet. do i think it's somewhat appealing to add a token "straight" girl to a gay relationship? honestly, yes. /j /nsrs /silly

idk this is so fucking ooc bc im pretty sure cherie has never interacted with sophist in any other au outside of WOTC and we know her opinions abt him in that.. but idk just indulge me for a bit, girlboss x boyfailure x supports both of them tbh

i don't know really where i'm going with this tbh, but this kinda feels like something crashing would think up- /j /t /lh XD but speaking of which, the chances that would turn into a full blown polycule? ...

hello! welcome welcome :).

here's a random pc concept/au ramble ive got at 1 am: cheerleader!vern (skirts! pom poms! dancing in his routines!). nerd+geek!brent (glasses, textbooks and binders, gaming his heart out). preppy!nick (nick in a suit. or that shirt with sweater around the neck outfit. partying but still wanting to do his best). or jock!nick. nerd+geek!sophist is also a thought but consider: goth or emo!sophist (dark nails+lipstick, eyeliner, earbuds in, always has random lore/fact drops). these are all mainly outfit concept-based, but it can go into their dynamics too.

and absolutely mixing and matching them. i'd see all those concepts going crazy for each of them. like emo!vern who's prob honestly closer to scenecore/pop punk with dark+dyed hair and loves avril lavigne and has 'rock 'n roll' and 'here's to never growing up' on blast (am i projecting my 2000s-2010s self? YES). preppy!sophist (blazers and khaki shorts and long sweaters and omg wait sophist in a frat sounds like a TERRIBLE idea LMAO... unless?). jock!brent (basketball. swimming. just an all-rounder with a varsity jacket that one- or ALL- of them want). cheerleader!nick too, coordinating the best mocking/roast chants and taunts! once he's in it, he's committed as hell. and that's just a glimpse of the possibilities.

also was thinking: all that but make it yuri.

Oh. my. goodness this is peak Cheerleader vern, Jock nick, jock brent and nerdy sophist for me AND ALL THAT TO MAKE IT YURI?! OH MY GOSH ITS BEAUTIFUL!!!

(I say they all kiss at the same time)

one episode in and I am already obsessed with how the Gozyuger protagonist is if those emo werewolf memes were a person

I'm not really confident in my ability to draw live action human people so hopefully this doesn't look like ass lol (this is why i haven't really done any tokusatsu fanart much less post it lol) (i also don't know if the meme im referencing is super obvious or not but other people beat me to drawing the more obvious emo wolf memes lmao)

I'm sorry but I have to repeat it again:

"appreciate YOU, buck"

He said YOU, not it, YOU.

He's not talking about buck helping him in that specific moment, he's talking about buck IN GENERAL.

And he says it OUT LOUD. To buck and himself.

I know as an audience we know that. Hell- they know it too.

He's shown it over and over again across the seasons.

But he's never actually said it out loud THIS DIRECTLY.

No reading between the lines, no big gestures, just a plain, casual, undeniable "appreciate YOU".
