#idk I’m just having an asexual moment I guess

[science-lings]

Just once I need a fake relationship trope that stays fake. Gimme two aspec people who team up to get married for insurance or tax benefits or family pressure and don’t fall in love while it’s going on. There’s no magical moment when they practice kissing or whatever. I want two friends to trust each other so much that they tie their lives together and they take advantage of the hyper-romantization of two people being emotionally close to one another. It would be fun.

TMAGP 23 thoughts, spoilers under the cut!!

lmao I love how Sam’s reasoning for bothering with the response department paperwork is to A) assume it’s Alice doing a bit and B) seeing how long Alice can keep up said bit. I would do the same thing tbh

Lena cautioning him against it raises some red flags about what it might actually be though. That said, if doing the paperwork really is dangerous, she isn’t exactly trying all that hard to convince him to stop so who knows?

Chester statement time!! It’s an internet one this week hell yeah I’m ready for some red canary (or weird movie) esque shit

“Creating a better me”???? this sounds… very Strange

what do you mean by “finding your piece”? It sounds at first like affirmations but then the statement writer directly refutes the idea of it being a psychological/ “inner peace” thing

The second post makes it seem like this piece thing is an object taken from a significant location in your life. That’s less cursed that what I thought it was gonna be (a body part)

the implication that this person did something at least mildly illegal to get their piece is somewhat troubling. it was probably just theft though. Also they never specified what the piece is

“I’m sure it’s totally safe and not at all dangerous to sleep with the piece in my bed” famous last words

Also why do you need to keep it warm??? Is it alive????? And you have to “bond with it” which I guess is in line with making a “better you”. I guess it has to know what you’re like to emulate you or smth idk but this doesn’t sound like it’ll end well

ok it’s coral. Why are you worried about keeping it warm? If it’s not in water it’s definitely not alive.

MAAM WHY DO YOU HAVE SURGICAL EQUIPMENT AND WHY IS THIS POST CALLED “FIRST CUT”

you fucking watered your coral with your own blood to grow a better copy of yourself? The fuck? What is the point??? Do you WANT to get replaced????

Wait no she transplanted the coral into her body to grow it. What the fuck maam are you trying to reproduce through some cursed version of asexual budding???

okay yeah that’s exactly what’s happening this thing burst out of her

I mean at least she planned this out and took off work so she doesn’t lose her source of income I guess??? And she made sure she had proper supplies and a paralysis computer.

Oh damn this lady is just straight up willingly getting replaced. This is reading more and more like the original Alesis Newman is more akin to a shed skin than anything related to asexual reproduction

Oooh it went wrong. Not sure how but it definitely did

Oh shit this world’s Jon and Martin have been dead for 20 years and have no connection to the Magnus Institute

YOOO CELIA’S LOOKING INTO BASIRA AND HELEN

wait how would she know about Helen? Did the tunnels cult ever meet her? I don’t remember

OH WAIT I REMEMBER SHE TRIED TO EAT CELIA (at least, according to Melanie and Georgie) lol girlie why would you want to find her ageidjdief

Oh poor Gwen is not doing great.

Oh my god she’s actually talking to Alice instead of being snappy

And Alice seems to be. Actually listening !!!! Here’s how Dyhard can still win-

Alice fully believes Gwen

LMAO THE IMMEDIATE GLITCH AFTER GWEN SAID “I’ve not been arsey”

we’ve got confirmation that [Error] has a shitload of eyes let’s gooooo archivist moment

Alice immediately recognizing the tape recorder from her own experience and putting the pieces together that the whole oiar is being targeted is peak girlboss energy hell yeah Alice

And Gwen is obviously taking Alice’s experience seriously too hell yeah

Alice and Gwen are in danger? I think they should kiss about it

[kekaki-cupcakes]

Morning! So this week is ace week (I’ve been told. Not sure)

Could I please ask for nico’s cool laidback and flirty older brother coming out to Nico as ace please? 👉🏼👈🏼

And he’s kinda worried Nico will take it the wrong way? Especially since he was like mico’s “gay flirty cool idol” and he fears telling him he’s ace will disappoint Nico?

Thanks and, obviously, no pressure!

Love your content 🫶

Happy ace week!

heya.... long time no see?

So this may have been requested back in October and I've only just written it up now but, oh well, I really like how this has turned out and I've actually finished three one shots in the last few days so maybe I'm on a roll or smthn, idk. And just a reminder [cause everyone seems to be venting thru these fics lol] that I'm always here to chat <3

soggy socks and femur bones--- Nico di Angelo & asexual big brother!reader »»————-　★　————-««

Nico trudged up the stairs and glared at the closed cabin door.

He took a breath, and then slammed it open, kicking off his muddy boots because Will had decided that of course having a picnic in the middle of the forest after a storm was an intelligent plan.

Water formed a puddle by his soggy socks when he wrung out his jacket and wiped his hands on his pants with a huff. 

Hazel’s witchcraft candles everyone was silently hoping and pleading to their godly parents weren’t for another curse, burned on the coffin-shaped bookshelves. At least they smelt like vanilla. “Yo, uh… what’s with all the…”

Nico whipped around and eyed you through his wet, stuck-together eyelashes. “Will planned the date this time.”

“…And?” You grinned, sitting forwards and closing the lid of your secret [it wasn’t really a secret at this point] laptop. There was a bag of chocolates on your lap as well. And you were dry. 

He raised an eyebrow. “What?”

“How did it go? Did you kiss? Do I have to dig his grave? I mean I will,” you said with a shrug, and then winced. “But I need someone to keep giving me painkillers… It’s not my fault Austin did a shit job at ripping my molars out.”

“He was fine. You just refuse to stop eating salt and vinegar chips,” Nico argued, and glanced at empty packets in the bin by your bed. 

You shook your head stubbornly. “No, no my gums are infected cause Au-”

“It was fine!” Nico shrieked, and stomped into the bathroom, slamming the door behind him. He slammed it too far though, and it bounced back open on its hinges. He glared at the heart-shaped mirror someone had written ‘love yourself babes’ on. Three guesses who. 

“…So… did you kiss?”

Nico glared at the mirror harder. The long scratches across his face had faded. Now they were just a few shades darker than his olive skin. “Why would I tell you?”

“Uh, cause I’m your gay icon,” you scoffed, and he heard the sound of chocolate wrappers crinkling. “Who else would you talk to about this?”

Nico uncapped the mango-flavored toothpaste [Hazel had discovered artificial flavors and was going to be buried with them] and squeezed some onto his toothbrush. At least half of the bristles had fallen out. Probably because of the fact children of Hades, or Pluto, had sharper than necessary canines. Something to do with vampires.  

He shrugged. “Jason.”

“Okay that hurt,” you said. You were quiet for a moment. “And, uh… about the whole…”

He rolled his eyes and brushed his teeth, orange foam dripping down his chin as he spoke. “We kissed. Shut up.”

“… I will definitely be teasing you about that later, remind me too, but that… wasn’t really what I meant,” you said. From what Nico could tell, you sounded nervous. Like, genuinely. That was odd. 

Nico narrowed his eyes. 

“I just, I kinda wanted to tell you something.”

He spat out the fruit toothpaste and rinsed his mouth out with the black and white retro Addams family mug you had ordered online when you saw it, because ‘what else is pocket money for?’. “…Well?”

You tapped your nails on your laptop, probably chipping the polish your aphrodite friends had done on sleepover night. Nico usually spent that night hiding in Bunker 9 while Leo built his latest bomb. Or a Monster-proof phone. Or both. “You aren’t very good at this, are you?”

“Jason hasn’t got to the emotional conversations bit of teaching me how to be a human yet. We’re still at the how to flirt with Will part. Apparently, I’m not very good at it.” Nico said.

“That I can believe.” You muttered. “Anyway, what I was gonna say is… well it’s actually been ages but I sorta didn’t wanna tell you cause then maybe you wouldn’t feel like you could relate to me as much and I really like it when we eat icecream and cry together.”

Nico frowned. “I haven’t cried in three years.”

“…Okay, that’s a problem.” You said. Your voice cracked.

“You just walk up to me and start sobbing and then I feed you Ben and Jerry’s to shut you up.” Nico said, leaving the bathroom and throwing his drenched clothes over the portable heater in the corner, by the snake’s tank. Dracula was a yellow python that everyone stuck banana stickers to on a daily basis. 

You threw your hands up in the air. “See! It’s already happening and I haven’t even told you yet!”

Nico scrunched up his nose and put some of Dracula’s food into the tank. Meaning, a dead rat. “Told me what?”

“That I’m Ace!”

He stared at Dracula.

“Like, like Asexual, you know,” you said quietly, and chuckled. You did sound nervous. “I taught you about that one, didn’t I?”

Nico shrugged. Every sexuality and gender ever discovered. It had been a very long lesson. But he had got to watch Good Omens. And some lesbian Bollywood movies too, with awesome soundtracks. “Yeah.”

You kept tapping your fingers on your laptop.“…You’re not reacting that much.”

“Would you prefer it if I started crying?”

“Yes, actually. How have you not cried in three years? We need to do something about that.” You said, very obviously trying to change the subject. 

Nico sat down on the puffy duvet next to you.

“I’m not going to cry…” Nico said, looking away at the posters Hazel had pinned to her wall with throwing knives made of femur bones. He ducked his head. “And… I’m not gonna, like, not want to hang out with you anymore… You’re still, like, my favorite brother, or whatever.”

You whipped around, eyes wide. Your eyeliner was smudged. “Aw!”

“Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!” Nico screeched, and dodged the hug.

You managed to wrestle him into a hug despite his clawing and shrieking, and rolled around with him in the mound of teddies and chocolates. “You love me!”

“I will bite you.”

Random TGS head canons because im board and gay I guess (only like 5…. 3 are about Flowers though so, yeah-):

Flowers has insomnia, so she builds little music boxes to help her sleep, kinda like 10 hours soothing music but in 1884(?)

Also still talking about Flowers because she’s the best lodger, she’s a feminist. Or like a 1884 feminist. Idk why when I was reading the bonus content for TGS my first thought was, wow. Flowers really is a feminist icon. I feel like she’d very politely rant about women’s rights to anyone who’s listen idk why

Wow another Flowers one- (she’s my favorite lodger once more and she’s barely in it let me have my fun-) she’s asexual and a lesbian. Idk why the moment I saw her I was like….. knowing TGS and that the lodgers are legit just a found family of gay scientists, she’s a part of the LGBT…. Projection time????? So I’m yeah…

AUNT FRANKENSTEIN STORY TIMES I saw that like one part of Jekyll calling all the lodgers huddling around Victoria Aunt Frankenstein stories or something with Aunt Frankenstein so yeah. They call them Aunt Frankenstein Story Times and it’s a weekend day chosen at random by Victoria when she has enough strength

Zosi tends to hang out with Dr Maijabi while not with Jekyll, Dr Maijabi is also basically the society’s grandfather I don’t wanna hear it all the fics depicting him as Jekylls almost father figure where correct.

[lizclipse]

i’ve been fairly confident that my gender is ‘woman’ for a while now, but my sexuality?? like i have leanings in vibes and basically no genital pref (tongue in or around idc) but like. how do i describe this. most people seem to have a character or bunch of characters that they are attracted to. i… really haven’t. like i’ve had ones where i’ve said are attractive because it’s kinda expected that you have a few but honestly? i’ve don’t really see a character and have that feeling of “oh god they’re hot!!” it’s always just a more plain “huh they do be attractive shaped”. sometimes more but quite rarely?

it’s sort of becoming more and more present to me since getting back on tumblr and seeing so many people gush about what they find hot or rp-ing or being generally sexual. the idea of being sexually charged with someone else is like. weird to me. like saying a bunch of sexy things and getting all hot and bothered is something that just doesn’t click in my brain, and is actually quite alien, especially if i’m not quite familiar with that person

idk where i’ve been going with this. i guess it’s just a vague hand waving that idk what the fuck to classify myself as anymore. i’m definitely not just straight/gay, bi/pan feel too strong, asexual feels not strong enough. i’m kinda at a point of just giving up

my sexuality is just ‘eh’ at the moment. and i think i’m fine with that

[fever-project]

Any like. Special sexuality headcanons for the crew? (I am running out of questions here help)

Personally I hc Rav as bi

Tbh, for most of them I don’t lol. So I’ll be thinking up of some right now for the others

Ravio - He’s also bi to me, and I also hc him as Acespec. Tbh it’s mostly because the flag’s purple and he’s purple. Purple’s my favorite color.

Tetra - Uhhh she’s either straight or a lesbian based on how I feel that day. Honestly it’s a coin flip, I can’t choose lol. Biflux. Pretty sure that’s a term

HW/Captain Link - He’s somewhere on the aro spectrum, maybe he’s akoiromantic. Which is when you feel romantic feelings for someone until it’s reciprocated, then those feelings basically vanish. But I’ll just say he’s arospec, because the flag is green and he’s green. I’m very creative.

Wind/Tune - Blue.

Spirit - Yeah he’s straight.

Time/Mask - Duraromantic pansexual. Duraromantic means that someone rarely experiences romantic feelings, but when they do it lasts for a long time. He had a crush on his Zelda for far longer than he liked lamo.

HW Zelda - Bisexual. You see, the flag has both blue and pink, like how as Sheik she’s blue and as Zelda she’s pink and-

ST Zelda/Phantom - Straight, just like her Link. You see the straight slag is both blue and pink like how Spirit is blue and Phantom is pink and-

Impa - uhhh aroace. Yeah. Maybe a lesbian. Both.

Marin - Pansexual. I think. Anyways the flag is pink, yellow, and blue, and she’s-

Medli - idk. Bird ig

Ruto - I don’t think she even knows what romance is, or at least never truly felt any romantic feelings towards Time. But she clearly does want to have a romantic relationship, so I guess she’s cupioromantic now. So uh, here’s a version of the flag that’s color picked from her Great Sea’s outfit

Lana(and Cia ig) - Forgot about her for a moment ha. She’s bisexual but mostly has a preference for men.

Linkle - Aromantic lesbian. She’s green and orange. Do you know what flag has orange in it

Agitha - idk she’s 10. I had barely any idea what I was when I was that age, nor did I really care ngl, so yeah. Idk, and neither does she.

Darunia - I feel sad that I have no thoughts about him. He’s just some guy, so I guess he’s straight? No thoughts.

Minda - Bisexual.

King Daphnes - Realistically, he’s straight. But I think it would be funny if he was a raging homosexual. Oh, and there’s this drag feather pride flag, created in 1999, and idk, the vibes fit. Also it’s red and gold and you know

Skull Kid - uh. Idk that’s a creature(positive) he can be anything. Be free king 👑

Wizzaro - Creature(negative).

Volga - Homosexual.

Ganondorf - Apothisexual(and apothiromantic). Basically it’s someone who is asexual(and also aromantic in his case) and is repulsed by sex(and also romance in his case). The apothisexual flag has red and black

Yuga - I’d say he’s pansexual ig. I support pan rights and wrongs. But not his

Fi + Ghirahim - They are definitely asexual. Aromantic? Maybe.

And that’s it! Boy was that a lot of guys. I sure hope I didn’t miss anybody-

I SAID I SURE HOPE I DIDNT’ MISS ANYBODY-

((((；ﾟДﾟ)))))))

Tingle - Creature(creepy and unnerving)

[bloodywonder1846]

Alrighty, guess I’m gonna take the risk and post this.

(Pls don’t get mad at me, y’all. I’m just stating an opinion & ranting about my frustrations, I don’t mean to sound rude.)

This is certainly gonna make people mad. If you disagree with me or are upset by this, that’s fine, I get that everyone has different opinions. Idc, just please leave me alone & don’t harass me over it.

I honestly have a lot of complaints similar to this, but then I saw this happen with my favorite song, and it just absolutely upset me, so yeah-

Can we PLEASE stop over-sexualizing Wait???

Yes, I know that at the end of the day, I’m always gonna have my asexual bias, but I swear that I have more complaints than just, “I’m a sex-repulsed ace who’s tired of everything being over-sexualized.”

I know that a lot of things are gonna vary depending on the production, but at least to me, that’s not what this song is supposed to be. I know the Broadway revival does the whole weird thing with his suspenders, idc what the Broadway revival does, this song is supposed to be a soft, sweet, and genuine moment. (This isn’t an insult to the Broadway revival, btw. I do still love that production despite it making some choices I disagree with.)

Let’s review the scene & context surrounding it:

Sweeney has been presented with the opportunity to off Beadle Bamford, but he’s impatient af and wants his revenge now. On top of that, he’s also stressing over how to get to Judge Turpin. Nellie basically tells him to chill out and be patient, but like, in a sweet and loving way. The whole song is her trying to help him calm down and feel less stressed, upset, and tense. She can see that he’s dealing with a lot, and she genuinely cares about him and wants to help him. By the end, he’s a lot more calm, even if he is still thinking about revenge deep down. You see the calming affect Nellie has on him, and she’s happy to see him okay again, even if it’s only for a moment. He even internalizes her words. During Epiphany, he says, “Why did I wait? You told me to wait!” Obviously he seems to have misunderstood her a little, but it shows he was at least paying attention.

At its very core, this scene is a man who’s gone through a lot and is stressed, a woman who cares about him and wants to comfort him, and him briefly being able to silence the noises in his head because he really does find comfort in her words and her presence.

This is supposed to be a calming type of song, sort of like a lullaby in a way. Maybe this really is just a me thing, but it was never meant to be sexy.

There’s a lot of things that annoy me about the over-sexualization of Nellie Lovett in general & this song in particular, but the main one is that it makes everything feel less sincere. Idc if you have your headcanons, or if you wanna talk about NSFW stuff regarding this show from time to time, but treating it like that’s the whole thing, especially regarding her, just… Idk.

Nellie truly loves Sweeney, and it’s always annoyed me when people say otherwise, and when people say that it was just lust. When people over-sexualize her & every moment between her and Sweeney, all that does is prove their point, and it makes her relationship with Sweeney feel a lot less genuine. When she’s not allowed to have genuine, emotional, and romantic moments without it either being sexualized or played for laughs (or both in some cases), it both erases her complexities as a character and cheapens the moment. (I have another rant regarding By the Sea too, but I’m specifically gonna focus on Wait here)

She truly cares about Sweeney and wants to help him, comfort him, and be there for him. When Wait is instead seen as just seduction, it makes her feelings for him seem a lot less genuine. I would think that none of us Nellie lovers or Sweenett fans would want that, and yet my fellow Sweenett shippers are the ones that are most guilty of this. Do you not also care about the emotional side of their relationship? The sweet side? The soft side? The romantic side? Their friendship? Does it only matter to you if it’s sexy? (I’m not saying this is all Sweenett shippers, or even the majority.)

Idk, I’m just tired of people trying to take away their actual adorable moments and make it all horny.

(Does it feel like nobody’s appreciating everything else about their relationship and is trying to make everything sexual, or am I just ace & losing it?)

Idc if you want to write smut about them, idc if you have differing opinions. I really don’t want to sound rude regarding people’s opinions & interpretations, and I don’t want to shame anyone. There are even people on here that I’m genuinely chill with & like that do this, and I don’t want it to sound like I’m mad at them or don’t like them or anything. I’m just so tired of it all.

Not everything has to be about sex, you guys.

(More stuff in the tags)

[clood]

on this day of me making all of the posts, i opened up east of eden to remember i had stopped on this specific page to talk briefly about the following paragraph:

“What freedom men and women could have, were they not constantly tricked and trapped and enslaved and tortured by their sexuality! The only drawback in that freedom is that without it one would not be human. One would be a monster.”

this is from john steinbeck’s east of eden, published in 1952.

in reading these lines for the first time i felt so disappointed and alienated, and then for a moment i was like, “oh well. this was published in the 50s!”

the trouble is, the sentiment toward asexual folks and asexuality still remains largely the same: we are told we are not normal, we are weird, some might even go so far as steinbeck did and call us inhuman. and shit like this hurts!! whether you see it in a book by an author you love or on your dash in the year of our lord 2023.

to my fellow ace friends, we’re fine just the way we are. we’re wonderful, even!!

idk why i’m really even making this post but like. i had to stop and read the paragraph out loud and process it and feel it, so i guess you do too??? support your ace and aro friends.

[marzonomy]

Could you do platonic Brian and Tim's reaction to reader being asexual? They're both big comfort characters of mine and well, I personally hate my sexuality... that probably sounds weird or stupid but I do. Idk, I guess it would be nice to know that being different like this is okay. I could understand if you wouldn't want to write this, as it may not be something you are familiar or comfortable with, but thank you if you do

Omg I’m ace too!! Twinning moment

Also I feel like Tim and Brian would be ace too. Something about their vibes.

Tim/Masky

Does not understand why you’re insecure about it

Not like in a judgmental way, more like ��??? whats wrong w/ that 🤨’

May or may not take it as an insult at first

He doesn’t mean to </3

He doesn’t say any of this though.

Probably just goes ‘me too’ and continues w/ his life

He’s not trying to downplay anything he just doesn’t get it </3

Brian/Hoodie

Didn’t even realize there were people that aren’t asexual until now

Cos while he is ace, he doesn’t necessarily. Refer to himself as such? Just bc he doesn’t process that it’s not a universal experience.

So when you come out to him and admit that you’re not super happy with it the poor dude is so confused

Not good at comforting people

He tries for you though

Overall as supportive as he can be for someone who just found out about all this </3

To him it’s like someone being insecure about,, having blood. Only to find out most people do not, in fact, have blood. It’s a learning experience, he’s doing his best </3

[safyresky]

Legit wanna ask you all of these, but I’ll try to be abstemious! (“Try” being the operative word) —

How do you choose which POV to write from?

What’s a common writing tip that you almost always follow?

How do you write emotional scenes? Do you ever feel what the characters feel? Do you draw from personal experiences?

What is one essential thing to remember when writing a villain? 

How do you choose where to end a chapter?

Share a snippet from a WIP (please)

How would you describe your style? (Character/emotion/action-driven, etc)

Of the characters you write for, which is your favourite? Has that choice been swayed at all by your followers/readers’ reactions to certain ones?

What’s something about your writing that you pride yourself on?

You’ve posted a fic anonymously. How would someone be able to guess that you’d written it?

Do you have a favourite scene that you’ve written for CS? 

(I’m sorry for asking so many!) 

💜 

Thanks K! I'll be proactive and read more this shit now, lmao

POV: I'm a basic bitch, I go third person always and tend to pick the character who's taking precedence in the scene for perspective! On the rare occasion I go first person, it's because the character (Usually Jacqueline) is breaking the fourth wall to make themselves HEARD and who am I to refuse a muse such as Jacquie? She's in my walls, man. Not even paying rent. Unbelievable.

Common writing tip: Said is dead. Said is NOT dead! It's NOT and I will USE IT and you will find it to be INVISIBLE and the dialogue will SLAP and SAID IS NOT DEAD!

Emotional scenes: I very much do put myself in their shoes at the moment! You should see the faces I make when I write these bad boys lmao. Sometimes I'll pretend to be watching them acted out when walking around and then bc I talk with my hands I look insane to the casual onlooker.

At their heart, most if not all emotional scenes have some basis of my own experiences entwined with them! Not like, direct from Dani, straight to Video Cassette and DVD, but like. I think of situations where I have felt the same and try to describe how I was feelin/pour those moments into it. The only exception to this rule is the Dite Comes Out snippet, which is 100% based on my own experiences when discovering asexuality and trying to talk about it with friends and such!

When writing a villain, what to remember: LMAO GOOD QUESTION! IDK! My first thought is to say to remember that they're people too. Not that I'm out here like SYMPATHIZE WITH YOUR VILLAINS (she says, writing redemption arcs for villains) bc some villains are just ASSHOLES and are MADE that way so you DON'T sympathize with them! Bc they SUCK! What I mean to say is that more often than not I find villains have their own motivations/thoughts, like heroes or other characters, and they think they are in the right, or that what they are working to do is what needs to be done. It's good to remember that, especially when writing scenes and such from their POV. They have motivations and things that drive them

AND! Just bc they think a certain way does NOT mean you do!!!! Get that Anti culture RIGHT OUT OF HERE! GREY IS A COLOUR THAT EXISTS AND WHAT YOU WRITE DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU ARE INTO AN IDEA/BELIEVE THIS IDEA/WHATEVER. It just means you have a story to tell and by GODS you are GONNA TELL IT

When to end a chapter: I have a process for this and no idea how to explain it except for THE VIBES. Usually if it's a fluffy chapter, I end it on a high note; if it's a plotty chapter, I end it on either A) a reveal or B) a cliffhanger. I definitely prefer ending on like, nice statements that read like a natural end point. This does lead to me on occasion trying to write a smooth little closing paragraph; it's not a bad habit but I think I can absolutely do more natural ends without feeling the need to add a statement that's like "and end chapter", if that makes sense, lol. Practise makes perfect!

Share a snippet: Please enjoy this funny bit from a very self-indulgent wip called "The House That Jacqueline Forgot"

AHEM.

Heading back into the hallway, she bopped her head into the space before the basement. A smaller room, she had had it added on way back when. Hoping to avoid ruining the hardwood floors, she had thought it a good idea to have a mudroom put on the side. It also made the basement entrance less terrifying, given that the house was built in the Limestone City, and as such, the basement was much shorter than you would expect. She wondered if the fireplace downstairs was still in one piece. She’d have to check. And then probably get an HVAC going. Lady knew she’d need it given the hot Ontario summers.  She stopped in front of the door once more, looking up the stairs. It hit her then, all at once: if she wanted to get this house in working order, it was going to be a very long road. And the upstairs would probably be twice as bad as down here!  An overwhelming sense of despair briefly clouded her thoughts as she thought of all the work ahead. She almost sunk down on the floor right then and there, were it not for the four creaks on the stairs outside followed by a loud SNAP, and a very familiar voice swearing.  Whipping around, she pulled back the door to find a large hole in her front porch.  “You've got a hole in your deck,” Jack pointed out nonchalantly. He was leaning on the rail of the portion of the deck overlooking the garden, looking as casual as can be.  “That’s so funny, because moments ago when I got here, that hole wasn’t there.”  “Are you implying that I fell through your deck?” Jack asked, aghast. The railing started to creak below him. He sprung off it like it was actively on fire.  Jacqueline side stepped the hole, standing beside her brother. She picked something off of his lapel. “Yes, I am,” she said, flourishing the piece of worn, red, wood that had escaped Jack's magical clean snap.  “Well, I can’t argue with that,” he said, taking the wood chip and flinging it into the garden.  “What are you doing here?” Jacqueline asked, hopping back inside the house. “I thought you were in the Alps today, storming it up.”  “I was,” Jack said, following her in. “Really enjoying it too, until my lovely stormy walk was disrupted by a wave of despair so intense, I nearly fell down the mountain.”  Jacqueline flushed, looking away. “Sorry. I just had a moment. It’s just…it’s fine. It’s alright.”  “But are you?” Jack asked.  “Eh...” she shrugged, pushing the door open as far as it would go. “I mean. You know. I want to say I’ve seen worse but...I have my work cut out for me,” she said, gesturing to the inside of the house.  Jack let out a low whistle, stepping inside and taking it all in. “Wow.” 

Describing my style: another good question! Idk! I'd say character-driven, for the most part. They all have little arcs and growth to do and the story structure/plot helps achieve this goal!

Fave character to write: Jacqueline's so fucking funny, and I LOVE when Bernard gets sassy. That's always fun to write. Blaise has become a surprising fan favourite (people's responses to him may have swayed me a bit, ESPECIALLY the husbando's love of the "fiery dilf") and I've found myself really enjoying writing him! And the Twins are a fucking RIOT, and lately, when they're on their own with Jack in more emotional moments, they've been surprising the shit out of me. It's been fun! They are so tiny and full of chaos but they care about their siblings so so so much 🥺🥺🥺

Oh, and Adria! Once you all meet her proper, you'll see why she's such a delight >:)

Something I pride myself on in my writing: the convos all sound natural! I literally say them out loud and write them how I'd say them/hear them. Hence the abuse of capitals and lowercase, punctuation, and half italicized words ;)

You’ve posted a fic anonymously. How would someone be able to guess that you’d written it? Abuse of the semi-colon, evil uncles, horrible puns, and the dialogue reading like MSN in 2007 (see above point)

Do you have a favourite scene that you’ve written for CS? 

SO MANY. AH! My absolute favourites are:

Chapter 11: Blinter, with the chair and the Jack look and the ...you know look the pair of them have

Chapter 22: The window breaking and Blaise being like please tell me that wasn't our kids and Jack yelling SCATTER as the four siblings BOOK it and Blinter side eyes one another like alright, damage control time.

Chapter 16: Autumn and Winter's chat, and Spring and Winter's chat. there's something about the atmosphere of a quiet, dark kitchen while you carefully tidy, the people you love nearby having a riot while you take a moment to yourself, really, really hits. and I like when Winter tells Spring off and then tells her she needs to chill, she's doing okay, really (she being Spring in this case)

Chapter 23: Jack and Jacqueline's whole chat at the Springs, and then Jacquie pushing Jack into the pool and him dragging her into it too lmao. Not to mention the WOULD YOU HELP ME KILL A GUY bit!

I've also got some bangers I've yet to write but am VERY excited to! Chapter 27 especially is gonna be a HIT

thanks for the ask, K! I'm glad you did as many as you did! This has cheered me up SUBSTANTIALLY today 🥰🥰🥰

[venusloveslobotomies]

Hello!! I love your blog a lot!

Are matchup requests still open? Bcs I'd like to request one haha

So I guess I'll describe myself

I'm a female, she/her n asexual. My mbti is INTJ 5w6, I'm mostly introverted but I don't rlly have social anxiety or that stuff. I just get a lil bit lazy when talking to people :') Idk I prefer to avoid people who r too popular or have A LOT of friends. I rlly like science, math, art, astronomy, philosophy, and psychology :)) I also have some other random hobbies like playing musical instruments n doing some sports, but I don't enjoy it as much as researching random stuff hahahdhsh, im kind of a nerd

I'm a pretty calm n collected person and I'm not the typa person to overthink that much, which makes me a good mediator in my friend group I guess :') I hate drama and I'm usually the one to revolve petty conflicts in my friend group. If I had to pick between emotions n logic, I'd pick logic all the way, my friends say I'm a pretty logical person. I'm also curious, I like to think about random stuff sometimes

My love language is quality time, i feel like it's the most genuine love language!! i like spending time w my close friends and if i get a bf i probably will take him to a bunch of cool places, maybe to a museum or to go stargazing, or slow dancing while listening to calm music, maybe ill take him on late night walks too <3 i have a bunch of date ideas lololol

In the future I wanna have a job related to science, specifically abt researching the human body or the brain, or maybe even doing smthn related to space?? I have 2 job options in my mind at the moment

Thanks for taking ur time to read this! Have a good day 🫶

Oh also if u could, pls dont match me up w cartman HAHAHAA he's an interesting character but i dont want him turning my parents into chili if i hurt his feelings💀💀

Helo luv! I’m gonna have to match you with Craig!!

Of course it might be a bit obvious cause he’s known in the fandom for also loving astronomy but i think your personalities match so well! I think he also is very careful with who he spends his time with because he values his time and energy.

I think he’d love the relaxed dates like you, mostly away from people and mostly at night. I personally think he’d be pretty into art as well.

Craig’s also pretty selective of his friends and avoids the loud crowds. You guys would definitely be that couple that just hangs out together with like three other people and that’s it.

i hope u like it <333

[alwastakenofc]

RANT INCOMING.

WOWIE ZOWIE it’s a good thing that tumblr keeps u logged in for FOREVER bc i would NOT have remembered that this was my username LMFAOOOO.

anyways !!! i’m just here to rant now to see if it’ll still help me like it used to. just scrolled thru all my personal tagged posts and MAN was i going thru it from 2013-2016 LOL. im glad life is better now. different, but better. me and that guy that i posted abt a lot and would rant abt how he was hanging with that girl all the time broke up in 2016 THANK GOD, that was a sick and toxic and abusive relationship that went way longer than it needed to. i moved back home with my parents and got a few years with both of them before they passed away from different circumstances (fuck alcoholism and fuck cancer). now i live with my roomie/friend and she evicted the other roomie we had that was Toxic As Fuck and a literal Man Child so WAHOO! it’s been nice.

i’m going back to college this year i think, and im both so excited and also Terrified to finish. i only have 1-2 semesters left and then i gotta go get an actual CAREER.

being famous never took off, as expected LMFAO. i don’t stream to get popular anymore, it’s just a genuine hobby i enjoy that gives me an excuse to keep playing video games and having fun. but i don’t mind not having a genuine job off of it anymore; probably should’ve attempted streaming when i was posting abt it so much a decade ago, Honestly Probably Would have taken off a bit more and actually had a chance to make money off it BUT alas, i was too lazy and worried abt public perceptions lmfao

i still have that worry abt public perception especially since i now identify as non-binary (she/they). i wish to be perceived as an amorphous blob that moseys through life, ya know? i only keep the “she/her” pronouns bc a) i’m not fully out to Everyone, and b) i just know some ppl are more used to it and i Do Not mind. i would honestly probably say i don’t prefer ANY pronouns, call me he/she/they i just do Not care, but finding ppl that would reference me as “he” while being respectful just is daunting to think abt and i do not care enough, just call me whatever. but don’t perceive me as a woman exclusively ya know LOL. i don’t identify as a woman or man, i have more feminine days and more masculine days but calling myself a woman sincerely just feels … icky and weird LOL idk like i said. AMORPHOUS BLOB SQUAD, RISE! idk how else to explain it LMAO

also discovered asexuality is a thing like 6-7 years ago which has been LIFE CHANGING !! being told you are broken by ur partner for years, being made to feel like something is Wrong with you because you don’t get why everyone is All About Sex and why tf everyone actually Enjoys Sex…. MANNNNN when i discovered asexuality i don’t think ive ever had a moment in my life where i just said “oh my GOD. it’s ME. i GET MYSELF NOW.” (until i fully understood and embraced being nb about 2 years later lmao). idk i just feel so much more confident in myself and it’s great.

hmmmm what else… i guess i had a stint of struggling with alcohol and weed, but have managed to cut it back. currently on week 2 of no smoking, gonna go a couple more weeks then maybe i’ll buy a pen and edibles. NO MORE DABS! wax just Annihilated my tolerance and not even smoking 3 full joints or eating 250mg of edibles could get me high. it was BAD. but that’s what happens when u do Multiple dabs a day, EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. for 5+ years !! sooooooo that’s a thing too now. i try to Only drink on weekends now (and only 2 weekends per month, instead of Every weekend, is the new goal) and know i can’t trust myself to buy alcohol on a weekday and hold it to the weekend, which honestly Go Me for that self reflection and understanding that my brain doesn’t have the ability to Not drink alcohol/do shots if it’s in my fridge lol. well, not yet at least. maybe in a couple months i’ll be able to put some vodka in my fridge on a tuesday and be able to keep it there til the weekend without touching it, but for now i still don’t fully trust myself.

BUT! i’m trying to be healthy! i did get a treadmill and jump rope and even tho ive been neglecting jumping rope (maybe i will today idk maybe not LOL) i do still try to walk on my treadmill at least every other day!! i did a mile walk today and i was So Sweaty lol it’s crazy how outta shape i am but im hoping that cutting down on weed and alcohol helps with that too overall. i miss having abs. i miss not being flabby. i have awful body dysmorphia already bc of my boobs and getting bigger has made Them bigger too and it just makes me feel Horrified when i see myself in the mirror. or see my stomach, or double chin, or jiggly arms, or WHATEVER. i just need to be healthy again UGH. anyways.

MANNNNNNNNN i’m so scared of college LOL. i’m not double majoring anymore (also not even in art college anymore HELLO lmao, i dropped out of art school and got my associates degree from community college then transferred to a university where i was originally double majoring in International Relations and Japanese)! i just am gonna drop my Japanese major down to a minor so i still at least know Some Japanese. and ill study on my own post graduation (I HOPE!!!!!) and get better. i took a 2 year break when my mom died and its just so Daunting to think of going back LOL

i really, really… REALLY need to get better with procrastination and laziness and being at a standstill/comfortable. like, i KNOW there’s more to life but i just. UGH. idk. it’s so Hard after everything that’s happened these last few years. if i didn’t lose my dad in 2018 then my mom in 2022 i think it would be a lot better. HELL, if i didn’t lose my mom to cancer in 2022 things would be SOOOOOO different!! i would’ve probably graduated with my double major and had a kickass job and my mom would’ve seen me walk the stage UGHHHHHHHH ill never forget how i lit said “you prolly won’t see me get married but you gotta stick around to watch me walk the stage” and she said “WHERE ELSE WOULD I GO????” and IDK I JUST WISH I NEVER JINXED IT UGHHHHH. i have a lot of unaddressed trauma from both my parents’ deaths that im sure therapy would definitely help with but FOR NOW, i just gotta get thru college and see wtf is waiting for me on the other side.

ALLLLLRIGHT well this went on a LOT longer than i expected and …… idk if it helped??? idk if i feel any better after typing it all out but MEHHHHHHH. it’s nice to just throw it all out into the ether and not have a ton of questions or assumptions or embarrassment or shame come from feeling like im taking up space. i think that’s been the biggest thing ive struggled with since my mom died; i can’t even post my random thoughts on twitter anymore bc the anxiety of “well who even cares, who would even care about you saying anything, why would you even post at all? what’s the point?” just gets SO damn overwhelming. ive become a COMPLETE recluse and i haven’t done ANYTHING like this rant in at Least half a decade LOL. so. idk.

typing this all out therapeutic in a way but again, i just feel kinda anxious at the same time and idk if it’s really helped me out overall. bc why does anyone care? what’s the point?… but also WHY do i feel like People Need To Care ?!?! why can’t i just go back to my old mindset where i did not give a single fuck about what i posted bc i just liked throwing my thoughts out for everyone to read?!?! idk. maybe tumblr is gonna be the bridge to help me get better with voicing random mundane thoughts that don’t matter in the long run LOL. bc WHY is that so scary to me, man….

ANYWAYS i’m done okay. wowie. what a rant. PHEW.

hope u enjoyed reading about my last 6-7 years 😎

[feelingunfulfilled]

Just learned what covert avoidance is and honestly I’m surprised it’s never once been mentioned to me by therapists or family or education. It’s linked strongly to conditions of anxiety and depression, with the main symptoms being afraid of judgement and how others perceive you. Feeling like your a bystander in your own life, feeling unfulfilled and worried of being vulnerable because you don’t want criticism. Like HELLO??? Why isn’t this common knowledge??

For a long while I didn’t even recognize my own fear of judgement. It took a mental breakdown on Christmas Day before I finally discovered what that restless internal fear was. If I had been taught these things earlier, maybe I wouldn’t have felt so troubled and anxious. And now, two years after the fact, only NOW am I becoming aware of this disorder?

How is it that my depression is more diagnosable then my own anxiety? Is it simply because I never felt comfortable enough to go into the details? Well then that’s kinda fucked up, isn’t it? If my anxiety actively makes me TERRIFIED of being vulnerable and judged, of course I’m going to struggle being transparent with people! Of course I won’t get a genuine diagnosis, and I’ll end up doing all the work on my own!

I’m not frustrated by it, but more so bewildered? Like…how is it that I never ONCE came across this crucial information which better defines how I’ve been feeling? It’s like discovering my asexuality and accepting myself as aromatic. Those labels help me properly express a personal experience to those who haven’t felt that way. It helps me greatly to use this vocabulary and be as specific and detailed as possible.

Of course (unfortunately) this won’t be recognized as a proper diagnosis unless I bring it up in conversation, but like??? Why am I suddenly the one who has to have all the vocabulary sorted out ahead of time instead of the other way around. Isn’t the therapist meant to give me the vocabulary for my experience rather then me introducing it to them?? Idk I guess that’s the point of sharing information. But it kinda feels strange knowing there is specific micro labels within anxiety and NO ONE bothered to walk me through the many common anxiety’s.

At this rate, I think the video game Adventures With Anxiety did a better job laying out an introduction to the anxieties which greatly effect lives. Sometimes we feel held back and controlled by these irrational fears, and it’s seriously debilitating for some people. Some who can’t even bring themselves to socialize or get out of the house. It’s such a SERIOUS issue and it kinda baffles me that no one has explained it in a cohesive way? There have been attempts to say “yeah we all have anxiety and it’s scary sometimes” but that’s not really getting to the ROOT CAUSES of it. Within the game Adventures With Anxiety, there is a moment where the player gets to sit and discuss there prominent fears of being unloved, fear of being harmed, and fear of being a terrible person. These fears are what fuel the anxiety. And I think many anxieties can be pin pointed into those specific categories.

Because truth is, anxiety takes on many forms. And it effects people differently depending on what fear is most prominent. Without subconscious awareness of these deeper fear which bring anxiety to life, how else are we meant to deal with them??? I guess that’s what exposure therapy is meant for, but I’ve always been terrified of perusing that because that’s EXACTLY what triggers my anxiety. Yes, we all need to face these fears head on and confront them if we want any progress out of it. But if I don’t get a firm idea of what’s going on with anxiety, then you can’t expect me to take that leap of faith. I need to process it and understand the full scope of it. Not blindly trust you

Update: now I’m doing more research into the distinction between social anxiety and Avoidant Personality Disorder (AVPD), as well as distinctions between those and covert avoidance. There is also overt anxiety to research, as it seems to be different then covert in some aspects

[groggybastard]

omg ok I just realised I can actually post whatever I want on here lemme tell y’all abt the stick bugs I’ve been hatching and raising for the past few months. (this is a v long post if ur not interested start scrolling) also TW for pictures of large scary bugs!! (Spiny leaf stick insects)

So basically I bought these two stick bugs from a local pet store abt 2 years ago now, their names were Fred and Susan

They looked like this when I first got them, Susan lost a leg when she was around this size and I guess it effected her development bc she stayed pretty small and didn’t like being handled, she passed away at abt 15 months old.

Fred however became an absolute MONSTER

tiktok followers might remember, she was massive, seemed to love being carried around and exploring, and laid over 200 eggs before passing at nearly 2 years old!! (Average life span for these baby’s is between 6 and 18 months)

I got them in March of 2020, and they became a bit of a lifeline for me throughout quarantine, so when they started laying eggs I naturally wanted to try and hatch them! (stick insects can reproduce asexually, Fred and Susan are my lesbian icons).

I made up these two lil hatching boxes, I can make a tutorial on how I made them if anyone wants :))

I put a BUNCH of eggs in there, everyone said to only do 20/30, but I didn’t listen and put loads bc honestly I didn’t think they’d ever hatch.

But they did!! About a year after I found the very first egg I got my first little baby!!! They’re extremely fast and difficult to get a picture of, but when they first hatch they’re abt as long as my thumb nail.

A couple of them didn’t make it when I left them w my family for a couple weeks, but most of them have been absolute little troopers. I currently have 5 that are on their way to being fully grown, and 6 tiny hatchlings!!

Ok so lemme introduce the girlies

This is Meat Chop, she’s the first baby I ever hatched and is an absolute queenie, she never stops eating and loves thick eucalyptus, I know which one she is bc she’s the biggest, once they all grow idk what I’m gonna do

This is Baby, she’s my most unique bc she broke her leg when she was a little younger, and now has a piece of shed skin stuck to her. I’m v worried about what this will mean for her growth, and I’m unsure how to help for. For now I’m just keeping her comfy and keeping an eye on it. She doesn’t like being handled and struggles to move around the cage sometimes, but she’s v cute and I love her

Both of these lovelies are named Asparagus bc I cannot tell them apart, they both love exploring and never stay in the same place for long, I often freak out bc I can’t see them in the cage but they’re just hiding. They like rose leaves.

Last of my big girls is Lauren, she’s slightly bigger than Asparagus and tends to be a little paler, however I’m sure she’ll darken over time. She loves hanging upside down and is v happy to be picked up, she will even reach for me sometimes when I open the cage!!!

I have 6 little nymphs at the moment, and have tried to find and freeze the rest of the eggs bc idk how many more I can handle. They are all named El Salvador III, and are VERY lively, when they first hatch they will sprint around the cage at any movement, they constantly try to escape when I’m spraying water / changing the leaves, but after about a week they settle in a focus on eating and growing.

Anyways, if u read all of this thank u and I hope u enjoyed learning abt my bugs. Sometimes people think it’s weird that I care so much abt these lil guys but honestly they’re just so cool and lovely, if u have any questions please ask bc I love talking abt them!!

[botwstoriesandsuch]

I recently read Shades of blue after you rwcommended it and Oh My God was it worth it. That was beautiful and amazing and do you have any other recommendations?
