My dear lgbt+ kids, 

When it comes to cold weather, the main rule (regardless of gender or presentation) is: when in doubt, choose warmth and safety over style. 

Some basics: 

Layering is your best friend: Start with moisture-wicking base layers to keep sweat off your skin. Follow with insulating layers (like fleece or wool), and finish with a weather-resistant outer layer (like a puffer jacket or waterproof coat) to protect against wind, snow or rain.

Keep your sensitive areas warm: Make sure your hands, feet, and head are covered! Gloves, warm socks and a beanie can prevent cold-related discomfort or injuries. 

Waterproof: If you're facing snow or rain, make sure your clothes are waterproof. Wet clothes lose their insulating ability, so staying dry is a big part of staying warm! 

Reflective Gear: If you’re out in the dark or in poor visibility conditions, consider adding reflective elements to your outfit for safety.

People can react differently to temperatures. A temperature that feels super cold to you could feel comfortable to someone else, depending on what you’re used to (and some other factors). As a very basic rule, we can say: Gloves, beanies, and other cold-weather accessories typically become necessary when temperatures drop below 40°F (4°C). In more severe cold (below 32°F (0°C)), it’s even more important to wear them to protect yourself from frostbite and maintain body warmth. But it goes even in milder weather: if you feel uncomfortable or if it’s windy or damp, it’s a good idea to add these items for extra comfort.

With all that being said: Clothes are not just for safety and temperature control, they also help you express yourself - and that doesn’t suddenly change in winter. 

Dressing for cold weather doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your personal look. Whether you want to present more feminine, more masculine, or more androgynous, here are some tips to help you layer up and feel like yourself: 

(Note that these are suggestions, not hard rules. Style is highly subjective as everyone has different tastes, preferences, body types, fashion inspirations, budgets, cultural influences etc. I could suggest something here that you’d feel super uncomfortable in - if so, that’s not a sign you’re “doing it wrong”! Cherry-pick what feels right and ignore the rest) 

If You Want to Present More Feminine

Base Layers: If you want to wear skirts or dresses in winter, start with thermal leggings or tights! These can be nicely paired with cozy, long-sleeved tops or lightweight thermal shirts. (But also keep in mind that plenty of women, cis or trans, do not wear dresses all the time! Nothing wrong with choosing jeans!) 

Outer Layers: There are plenty of styles to choose from that have a feminine touch, such as a belted trench coat, a pea coat, or a long wool coat. Shawls are also excellent for adding a touch of style while keeping you warm! 

Footwear: Knee-high or thigh-high boots lined with faux fur or fleece can keep your legs warm and add a polished look to your outfit. Ankle boots with thicker socks are also a good alternative.

Accessories: Scarves, gloves, and beanies can be both practical and stylish. Knit hats or earmuffs can add a soft, cozy vibe to your look.

Style Tip: Go for a mix of fabrics like wool, faux fur, and knitwear to create texture and warmth.

If You Want to Present More Masculine: 

- Base Layers: Start with thermal undershirts or moisture-wicking base layers. Consider long underwear for added insulation beneath your pants.

- Outer Layers: There’s plenty of outerwear to choose from, like a puffer jacket, parka, or wool overcoat! (Faux) Leather or bomber jackets layered over sweaters can also add a masculine edge while keeping you warm.

- Footwear: You might want to opt for sturdy boots, such as work boots, Chelsea boots, or combat boots. Thicker socks can keep your feet warm.

- Accessories: Don’t skip out on scarves, beanies, or gloves for being “too feminine”. They can actually be great for adding a more rugged feel to your outfit! You just gotta find a color and style that fits you well. 

Style Tip: Focus on layering in a way that adds structure. Sweaters, button-ups, and jackets work great together for a sharp, put-together look. Play with dark, neutral tones and thick fabrics like wool or denim for extra warmth and style.

If You Want to Present Androgynous

- Base Layers: Neutral-colored thermal tops or turtlenecks can serve as great foundational pieces. You may want to pair these with straight-leg or loose-fitting pants that allow room for layering underneath.

- Outer Layers: Oversized coats, puffer jackets, or long trench coats can work well for an androgynous look. Try layering with oversized sweaters or fleece pullovers for extra warmth.

- Footwear: You could go for sneakers, lace-up boots, or loafers paired with warm, thick socks. But really, any pair of shoes can work for an unisex outfit. 

- Accessories: Neutral-colored scarves, simple beanies, and fingerless gloves can add to an androgynous look. Minimalist accessories like oversized scarves or gender-neutral caps are both practical and stylish.

Style Tip: Aim for a balanced mix of structured and relaxed pieces. Try loose layers on top with more fitted pants, or vice versa, to create an effortless, warm, and non-gendered appearance.

With all my love, 

Your Tumblr Dad

Keep Quiet

ethan landry x fem!reader

contents: 18+ smut, established relationship, subby!virgin!ethan, dom!reader, handjob, public (kinda?) sex

authors note: hi!! this is my first time posting smut publicly so i’m nervous… i’m also hella rusty with writing so i hope it’s not too bad lol. hope u guys like it!! <3

It was movie night tonight at Sam and Tara’s. The whole gang would be there, except for Sam and Danny, as they had chosen to go out on a date. You had just started dating Ethan a few months prior to now, upon meeting him at the beginning of the school year when Chad introduced the two of you. He was the perfect boyfriend. smart, tall, handsome.., a bit awkward, but you loved that about him.

Everyone was sleeping over that night, and you decided that this would be the perfect opportunity to finally make a move on Ethan. He’s a virgin, and although you two are a couple, he still gets super nervous around you and definitely isn’t confident enough to make the first move. You think it’s cute, though. He’d do anything for you.

Movie night was just beginning a little after 8 pm on a cold and windy Friday night. Chad and Tara were putting together snacks in the kitchen, Mindy and Anika were at the dinner table, and you and Ethan were sat on the couch. Soon enough, the other couples had joined you in the living room. Mindy and Anika took their place all the way at the other end of the couch, while Tara and Chad opted for the floor. This left you and Ethan in a secluded corner far away from the other couples. perfect, you thought.

Tara was picking the movie tonight, and she put on the horror movie, It Follows. you silently roll your eyes at your best friend. You’ve seen this movie countless times… so you knew you were going to get bored, quickly. Nevertheless, you watched silently as Tara turned off all of the lights in the apartment, leaving the TV as the only source of light. You snuggled up to Ethan, his arm wrapped around the back of the couch, around your shoulders. You rest your head on his shoulder, and he smiles at you sweetly before turning his attention back to the TV.

It’s about 20 minutes into the movie when you really start getting bored. You let out a loud sigh, though it doesn’t catch Ethan’s attention. You and Ethan are covered by a blanket, and an idea pops into your head. Something that will surely reverse your boredom. You place your small hand on Ethan’s thigh, a little higher than normal. This catches his attention.

“You okay?” He asks, his voice a quiet whisper.

“Mhm!” You hum back, happily.

He just smiles at you and returns back to the movie.

You have a devilish grin on your face as you start slowing caressing Ethan’s thigh. Ethan’s breathing speeds up slightly, and his eyes dart to where your hand would be under the blanket for only a moment before he turns back to the movie. He leans against you a little more, and pulls you closer. He smiles again.

“What? Not enjoying the movie?” he whispers, his breath tickling your ear.

This seems to rile you up a bit, seeing how innocent your boyfriend was, and how close he had gotten to you. You just smile back at him, and scoot even closer, if possible, your fingers now beginning to crawl up towards his clothed crotch.

Ethan’s breathing accelerates again with every passing second, but he says nothing about it. His heart speeds up as he senses your hand getting closer and closer, and he feels his face burning red with embarrassment. He blushes as his breathing gets heavier yet, his eyes fixed to the screen. His lips brush against the top of your head as he breathes heavily.

You reach the top of his thigh, staying there for a moment, before boldly cupping his hard dick with your entire hand. Ethan gasps and shifts in his seat with a shocked expression.

“What… what are you doing?” he whispers.

“You can’t- we can’t-… do this right now…” He blushes brightly, pulling his hands up to cover his face in embarrassment and shyness.

“Maybe later… we can…” He blushes even further than before. He can’t bring himself to say it, but it’s very clear what he’s implying.

“Oh. Well, why not now? Aren’t you in the mood, baby?” you whisper. “It Follows doesn’t turn you on?” You tease.

Ethan lets out a breathy laugh. He doesn’t seem upset by your teasing. “I mean… it has its moments…” He blushes again, his eyes still fixed to the screen. “Not that I need to tell you about that kind of stuff, right?” He glances at you from out of the corner of his eye again, growing nervous. “Maybe that’s what I’ll do tonight…” He mutters, “You know, when the- when the movie is over…” Ethan implies that he doesn’t want you to continue your sinful actions in front of your friends, but that won’t stop you.

“Yeah, let’s do that. but for now I wanna have my fun…” you whisper. At that, you remove your hand from his hard on and slowly unzip his jeans with your index finger.

“Are you… are you gonna do what I think you’re going to do?” He says sheepishly, a slight nervous laugh escaping his lips. His face is still bright red, and he can feel how hot and hard he is right now.

“Hmm?” You hum back, playing dumb.

“…Do you want to do… that?” He whispers, a dumbfounded look on his face. He looks back at you, in a trance. He couldn’t believe it. Yes, you’re his girlfriend, but you’re also the hottest girl he’s ever laid eyes on.. and you? You! You wanted to jerk him off, right then and there? He was in heaven. As he looks into your eyes for a moment, he watches you nod.

“You do?” He says excitedly, sounding incredibly sincere as his heart races.

You giggle at how eager he is, but stop yourself for a second.

“You have to promise to be quiet, though, baby. You don’t want them to hear us, do you?” You nod to where your friends are sitting, looking deep into Ethan’s puppy dog eyes.

“Yeah... that’s right.” He gets serious, but you can see in his eyes how excited he is.. “Don’t worry, I’ll keep it quiet.” He says quietly, pulling himself a little closer.

After fully unzipping his jeans, you place your hand over his boxers, feeling him for just a moment. Ethan’s breath hitches at your touch, feeling more of you due to the thin layer left over his cock. His eyes start to roll back in his head, and you barely even touched him yet.

“O-Oh shit…” He says quietly, barely audible over the loud movie. He lets out a soft moan, biting his lip as he tries to contain his excitement.

You giggle again. “Shhh, baby.” You whisper as you start moving your fingers over his clothed dick, feeling his length.

Ethan tries not to make any noise, but he keeps letting out soft, barely audible noises, his body burning red. His entire body is tensing up, and he can feel how painfully hard he is. “Mm…” He moans quietly. You quickly shoot him a warning glance.

“I can’t help it, I’m sorry…” He says sheepishly.

You ignore his moaning this time, and gasp as you feel a wet spot on his boxers.

“Look at that… so wet already. That’s so cute.” You tease him.

“S-Shut up!” He mutters under his breath, desperation growing on his face. “S-Stop teasing me!” His words are shaky with anticipation, and he starts rocking in his seat, trying to create some friction against your hand.

It feels good for him at first, and then you stop moving your hand altogether, which causes Ethan to really work for his pleasure now. His breath hitches again, and he whimpers louder than he meant to. He looks over at you, worried. He catches you smiling at him mischievously.

“You’re so… mean..” he whispers, biting his lip to try and stifle his moan. “Please..” He begins to beg.

You start to feel bad for the poor boy. You didn’t want to tease him too much, knowing that this is the first time anyone other than himself has touched him like this. So, you reach into the hole in his boxers and pull out his long, hard cock. You can’t see it under the blanket, but you can feel the veins running up and down his length, making you grow wet just by touching him. You start to slowly move your hand up and down his hard cock, finally giving him the pleasure he was so desperate for.

“Oh…” His voice is weak, and he can feel the heat building inside him. ”Oh, that feels so…good.” He whimpers again as actual tears begin to form in his eyes. He doesn’t seem to notice, as he’s completely distracted by what’s happening.

You want to please him so bad at this point, but you can’t help but tease him one last time. You reach the tip of his cock and give it a hard squeeze.

Ethan jumps and bites his lip, trying to hide a loud moan but ultimately failing.

“W-What was that for!?... You’re so mean…” He says again, more tears threatening to slip out. He looks down at his hands, which were shaking slightly from what was happening. “Please… we’re going to get caught!” He begs quietly, glancing around. He takes in a deep breath to try and steady himself. “I-I don’t know if I can keep quiet…”

You giggle even more, you really are evil.

“Well you’re gonna have to keep quiet. ‘Cause I want you to cum… right here, right now.”

Ethan takes a deep breath, his face turning bright red. You start to stroke him again, a little bit faster, spreading his wetness all over his long cock.

“M-mm…” This makes his breathing become heavy again, his heart racing at an incredible pace. He takes in another long breath. For a moment, he wonders whether he should tell you to stop for good. Instead, he lets out a soft moan. “Please…” He doesn’t even know what’s he’s begging for at this point.

You continue stroking him fast and hard, paying extra attention to his swollen head, squeezing it every now and then.

Ethan lets out a soft cry this time, his breath shaking. His eyes are rolled back in his head. He can feel his mind starting to go blank, and his vision starts to grow fuzzy.

“Oh, y/n…” He mutters.

“Yes, baby?” you respond back.

Ethan’s heart is beating out of his chest. He tries and fails to form words. He bites his bottom lip in anticipation, unable to express anything except soft moans in response, his face burning bright red.

As he is unable to respond, you assume he must be close to reaching his high.

“Are you close, e?”

The words catch in his throat, but he nods quietly. “Yeah…” He whines silently, his body shaking even more. His breath grows heavier.

“Oh, god… keep going… please…” He whispers, his voice barely audible. He tries once again to steady himself, but fails.

“Come on sweet boy, cum for me. Cum all over my hand, e.” You urge him on, keeping a steady, fast pace.

Ethan shakes his head, tears starting to form in his eyes again.

“N-no… I can’t…” He mutters silently, changing his mind once he realizes he won’t be able to keep quiet once he reaches his orgasm, it feels too good now… his face is burning bright red in embarrassment. He looks down from the ceiling, his breathing getting louder and the heat building until he’s practically shaking.

“I-I... I... I can’t…” He says, a small whine escaping his lips. “I can’t do it... not now…” He mutters, biting his lip. “Later, though. I promise…” He mutters again, wiping away his tears. “Not now…”

You don’t know how nobody has noticed a crying, shaking Ethan on the other side of the couch, but if you two have gotten this far, you sure as hell aren’t stopping now. You grit your teeth a little, starting to squeeze his cock even harder.

“Yes, now!” you whisper-yell.

Ethan gasps, his hands balling up into fists as his breathing is uncontrollable.

“You-you have to stop…” He says quietly this time, his head rolling all over the place.

“I-I can’t hold it in…” He begs, his muscles shaking from the effort.

“Please, y/n… I can’t do it…” He whines, a pleading tone to his voice.

“Stop…” He whines, his face bright red. “I can’t..” His voice breaks slightly.

You feel bad again as tears start to stream down his face. Your poor boy, it’s way too much for him, but you know he’ll feel so good once he finally releases.

“Let go, baby… Come on… Let go for me, sweet boy. Don’t you wanna make me happy?” You pout.

Ethan’s eyes fix onto you, a look of absolute terror in his eyes.

“Y-Yes! Yes, I do…” He practically yells, the panic very visibly evident in his voice. He wants to be a good boy for you. His hands are shaking, and the heat is building up inside him. A soft whimper escapes his lips, and he can feel himself losing control.

“I…” He whines, his voice cracking slightly as he speaks, his entire body tensing up.

“I think I... I think I’m gonna…” He mutters, his face burning bright red.

Suddenly, hot spurts of cum shoot out of his poor, aching and abused cock. Little whimpers and moans fall from his pretty pink lips uncontrollably.

“Nghh- Fuck…. Holy shit… Haa…” You watch his face contort in pleasure and continue stroking him through his high, a lot slower now.

“Good boy…” You say once he slowly comes down, knowing he can hear you properly now.

Ethan’s face is bright red, and he lets out an astonished groan. His head slumps down in embarrassment, and he takes a few deep breaths. He shakes a little as he tries to calm himself.

“Oh, my god… that felt incredible…” He whispers, his heart rate starting to slow down.

“Thank you…” He mutters, resting his head against your shoulder. His face is still red, but he looks a little bit more calm than he did a moment ago.

“How… how can I ever repay you?”

You smile, thinking it’s sweet that he immediately thought of you and your pleasure.

“You can repay me later, sweet boy.” You say as you remove your hand from his now soft cock. You bring your hand to your face, and lick his spent off of your fingers.

Ethan’s eyes grow wide when he sees you licking your fingers and he gasps. He waits until you’re done before speaking again.

“I… I uh… I can’t believe you just did that…” He says sheepish, blushing brightly. “You’re disgusting…” He says, but he doesn’t sound like he means it. He laughs again.

“And evil…” He mutters with a grin.

“I can’t wait to see what else you’ll make me do…” He whispers, biting his lip, the poor boy got hard again just by seeing you lick his cum off of your fingers.

“Oh… just you wait, baby.”

It's been getting super cold and windy here lately. Can I request cuddling headcanons for Mirio and Deku please?

Izuku:

While he tries to be polite about it, Izuku is physically affectionate to the core. Even before the two of you were dating, he’d find himself brushing his fingers against yours for reassurance, hesitant to take it too far but desperate to be near you. So now that he’s finally allowed to hold you, well— he can’t keep his hands off.

“It’s cold,” Izuku mumbled, and at first he wasn’t sure you heard him; his eyes were always trained on you, so of course he noticed the complete lack of reaction to his faux smalltalk. Your eyes didn’t stray from your laptop. He tried again. “You’d think they could turn up the heat in the dorms, right?” A nervous laugh.

He wasn’t sure why he’d gotten nervous— the two of you were close enough that he was hanging out in your dorm room anyways. Izuku was perched next to you on the couch as you finalized an essay; well, if ‘next to you’ meant ‘on the other end of the couch.’ It just happened to be a small couch. He could hear the quiet music pumping through your headphones that rested around your neck, long abandoned so you could seamlessly ask for his advice; he could feel your warmth, just a few inches away. And you’re busy.

“—hey, gimme your opinion on this one.” Izuku jolted when you shifted to lean against him; you just casually nestled right into his arm. You tilted your laptop so he could skim the screen, but Izuku, obviously, wasn’t thinking about your essay— his mind kicked into overdrive, assessing every tiny detail of the situation. Okay, okay, no need to overthink— just trust himself. Before he could convince himself otherwise, Izuku pulled the oldest trick in the book, faking a yawn to stretch his arm over your shoulder. Cringe as hell, but typical, and at least he’s cute about it.

Mirio:

You may have noticed, but Mirio is big. He’s also boisterous and doesn’t always think about the small things— from the moment you two became friends, he was slipping his hand into yours to tug you along somewhere, or tossing his arm over your shoulder to laugh loudly together. Because of that, the lines between you blur incredibly easily; dating? Just friends? Who cares, you fit well together.

“Are you ready?” Mirio’s voice boomed loudly from the other room. You knew he was always eager; no matter how much time the two of you spent together, it was never enough for him. A shame he couldn’t just carry you around in his pocket all day. “The commercials are almost over!”

“I’m coming, I’m coming!” As soon as the microwave beeped, you snatched the bag of popcorn by the corner; of course, it was scalding, so you let out a string of hisses as you darted back to the living room. Your boyfriend is right where you’d left him— his broad form stretched out across the entire couch, his feet hanging off the edge, all bundled up in every throw blanket you owned.

Mirio’s hero reflexes were never dormant; you tossed him the bag of popcorn and he caught it without looking, only to immediately drop it onto his lap. “That’s hot!” Despite his complaint, he tore the bag open as you climbed into his lap, holding it where you could both graze. Just in time, too— your movie flickered back on as you took your seat. One of Mirio’s arms snaked around your waist to keep you close, his chin nestled on your shoulder. He’s warm— he’s always warm, and the blankets are soft, and you’ve seen this show before. No matter how many times the two of you curled up together, you could never get enough.

BG3 Companion Headcanons

🌈☔🌤️ Enjoying Their Favorite Weather 🌤️☔🌈

Lae'zel:

This gith loves a super windy day

It is invigorating and helps her feel physically present

Also she knows she looks deadlyyy with her hair blowing around her head, her eyes narrowed, and her head down as she walks against the wind

Halsin:

I feel like Halsin loves a rainy evening+dewey morning combo in the spring

Like the soft sound the falling droplets make as they splatter against his tent help him drift off to sleep and dream of ducklings

And the next morning he loves to walk through the forest when the sun is coming up so he can watch the mist slowly rise as the light reflects off the wildflowers and the spiderwebs sparkle in the trees

Karlach:

I'm convinced she's a tropical beach kinda gal so hot, sticky, and sunny all the way

Any other companion in my head is usually wearing their starting outfits when I think of them, but Karlach? Shutter shades and a pina colada served in a pineapple

She's also on fire all the time, so the heat doesn't bug her at all!

I feel like the beach was made for her; rainbow sunsets, the crashing waves, the vastness of the ocean, hot sand between your toes, sandcastles, bonfires...like she would love everythinggg about it

Astarion:

Idk if it's bc there's so many cute fics with Star in snow, but ughhh it melts my cold, dead heart

Like the absolute stillness of flakey snow falling heavily in the night would make him feel at ease

And the way the snow sparkles in the moonlight inspires him to be creative (I am personally a big fan of thinking one of his hobbies post-epilogue is jewelry making. The little details keep his hands busy while his good taste and imagination help him design some of the coolest jewelry in all of Faerûn)

Also, like Karlach, the cold doesn't bother him nearly as much as it does most others

Gale:

We love an unstable king which is why I think Gale loves big storms with lots of wind, thunder, and lightning

AU storm chaser Gale?? I think I'm onto something here truly

And also it gives him great opportunities to conduct experiments and run tests! It's aliveeee!!!

Shadowheart:

Our broody queen loves mist and fog

It makes her want to snuggle up with a book and some tea by the window to just enjoy the peace and quiet

Also likes to be a mischievous, little gremlin and scare her partners/friends/roommates by waiting around the side of the house, knowing it's obscured, and then jumping out and grabbing them

And you want to be mad for how bad she scares you every time, but it's so hard bc she wrinkles her cute lil nose when she laughs and ughhh

Wyll:

Wyll loves space change my mind

He adores a clear, warm night so he can be out all night stargazing

And ooooo a meteor shower? This man is giddily kicking his feet, he is so enraptured by the magic of the night sky

He also loves to point out the constellations, and he's so good, even Gale is astounded by how many astral entities he knows

Winter’s Kitten

Pairing| Bucky Barnes x reader (gender is not really specified)

Summary| Bucky comes home from the market with a very unexpected but adorable surprise.

Warnings| Absolutely none- Just some random cute fluff

Materlist

Today was a very cold winter day in brooklyn and you had sent bucky out to get more bread from the corner market. It started snowing when he left, which was thirty minutes ago, and it was getting really thick and windy. You were starting to get worried, what if something happened to him? You decided to give it ten minutes until you were going to call him and make sure he wasn’t in trouble. Just as you were about to go to get your phone the door to your shared apartment opened. When Bucky walked through the entry he was covered in snow from head to toe, with a grocery bag in his hand. But what you also didn’t miss to notice was the abnormal lump coming off of his abdomen. “Hey doll, sorry it took me so long, the weathers really getting bad out there.” You stood in front of him speechless did he not think you noticed the now moving lump under his coat. “Buck, what's under your coat?” One thing you always found cute about Bucky was that he couldn’t lie to you. The give away signs were that he couldn’t look you in the eyes, and he’d blush. And right now the big super soldier in front of you looked like a schoolgirl with a crush. “Well, I uh, found her outside on my way back from the market, she doesn’t have a home doll.” As he unzipped his coat a ball of white fluff appeared. “Baby, is that a cat?”,”Yeah.” As soon as Bucky spoke the cat started to move, she tried to crawl up his chest but ended up snuggling back into his arms. Now that she adjusted you could actually see the cat's features,she had big bright blue eyes and tiny little ears.You could now totally understand why he couldn’t leave her behind. She was adorable and the way she looked at you just made you want to melt. “So what do you think of her doll? Can we keep her?” You had no idea your boyfriend could look so innocent, he was giving you the biggest puppy dog eyes with a pout on his lips. How could you ever say no to him or the adorable cat. “Of course we can keep her, Buck.” You couldn’t help but chuckle at the pure excitement on his face and as if the cat knew she had just found a permanent home she jumped out of Bucky’s arms and started to inspect the cozy apartment. After Bucky took off his jacket and boots he pulled you into his arms. “Thank you doll.” Instead of answering him you pulled your head off of his chest to kiss his stubbled jaw. Bucky moved his head down to give you a proper kiss and right before your lips touched there was a loud crash in the living room. "Well I better go check what that was.", "Yeah, I think that's a good idea,Buck."

Later that night when you and Bucky were settled down in bed, he asked “What about alpine.”, “What do you mean Buck?”, “For our new addition to the family.” You loved how easily Bucky said ‘family’ . You felt honored and proud that you were able to keep that special place in his heart.Since Bucky was the one who brought the cat home you thought that he should have the honor of naming her. “I think that's perfect, baby.”

Just after Bucky went to sleep a certain fluffy white cat decided she was going to sleep right on Bucky's chest. You couldn’t help the smile that came across your face, the sight of a man, most are afraid of cuddling with a little cat, was so wholesomely adorable. You were glad that Bucky brought home your new addition to your little family.

viper x gn!reader relationship headcanons

writer’s note: i haven’t written any fics in so many years so excuse me if it is boring 😭 it is assumed that reader is already living with Viper. also, there is a minor hint at sex or make-out but it is super small.

☢︎ Everyone and their grandmother knows that when it comes to work (and maybe others), Viper can be a hardened, distant, venomous woman. But when it comes to you, she is the complete opposite. She is not Viper, she is your Sabine. The version of herself that the world will never see.

☢︎ She is very soft and delicate with you as if you were made of glass. Sabine fears that one day you will see what her enemies sees and leave so she tries her best to be very careful of her tone and demeanor around you. Sabine can easily shut people out but she does her best to communicate with you even when she is upset. There are moments where she feels you matter more than her emotions so you must be there to validate her.

☢︎ She is not one for PDA as she prefers to maintain her cold and professional reputation at all times, however! She will make small and maybe secrets attempts to touch you. Maybe she will tuck your hair behind your ear during windy days, graze her fingers on yours when she is passing something to you, or give your thigh a reassuring squeeze under the table. Anything as long as she believes she has an excuse to back her up. Y’know to rebuke her annoying, teasing comrades who catch her.

☢︎ In privacy however, the woman can become surprisingly clingy but will not outright say it. Without another word from her, she will always have her body pressed up against yours. She requires to feel your body heat at all times. On the couch? You are touching hip to hip, arm to arm. On the bed? Cuddles are expected and she prefers to be the big spoon but on tough days she wants nothing but to lay on your chest. You are showering? Not without her. Cooking? She is either helping you or sitting at the kitchen island doing something. She needs your presence just as much as you do if not more, believe me.

☢︎ Sabine is actually not one for pet names outside of your bedroom activities. She prefers to call you by your name but on very affectionate days, you will get a ‘Darling’ out of her. Do not ever expect her to use it in public though. She does not mind any pet names you have for her but she would rather you also kept it private out of respect of her boundaries.

☢︎ When time allows, Sabine will take you out to some fine dining. She is not one for crowded, busy and noisy restaurants so she will always choose the ones that allow a private room booking for the both of you to enjoy. Other than that, she has a guilty pleasure for take out.

☢︎ Believe it or not, Sabine lives for the domestic lifestyle. She always volunteers to do your taxes or do them with you, her excuse being so ‘you do not commit any errors,’ however, truthfully is because she adores doing it with you and loves helping you with big tasks. Laundry, grocery shopping, cleaning, cooking, anything and everything she wants to do them with you as much as possible.

☢︎ If you are not an agent and are a student or a working citizen, Sabine always insists in taking and picking you up from work or school every day. Two reasons: she is paranoid for your safety and wants to know your whereabouts 24/7 and because she just melt at the kisses and affection you give her when she drops you off. She goes home or to work with a small smile on her face.

☢︎ To add to her paranoia, she demands you stay close to her when going out together and to turn on your phone GPS tracker at all times when alone. She also has a ring camera at her home. Who knows what level of lunacy can Sabine reach if she ever lost you.

☢︎ If you are home and she is not, please say ‘Welcome home’ to her. All the days stress suddenly wash away hearing you say that and just knowing you are waiting for her at home makes her dizzy with excitement. Something about it just brings some stability or ‘normal’ to her already chaotic life.

☢︎ Sabine has a morning routine that requires her to wake up super early and that routine always includes you. Since she wakes up early, she makes you breakfast and waits until you wake up or wakes you up to eat together. Or on her more chill days, she stays in bed admiring your sleeping form and wakes you up with kisses that sometimes lead to a more steamy quickie.

☢︎ Oh, Sabine is a bookworm and she probably has a whole library of books at home. When it is time for her to read, she would love it if you read with her and discuss your books together. But if reading is not your thing, she would still love your company, quietly. It just makes her feel safe and fuzzy on the inside.

☢︎ If you need a furniture built, she is your girl and would prefer that you wait until she gets home to assemble it. Why? Because she secretly craves the attention and reward you’ll give her after she finished the task.

Solarpunk in the Desert

Let me talk a bit more about Solarpunk this week. Especially about Solarpunk in different climates and areas. Because, let's face it: Most of Solarpunk art does depict either (sub)tropical foresty areas or at least temperate regions. It does not show any other climate extremes, which is kinda sad, because the world does not only exist in those lush green areas.

Of course, one of the big reasons is, that it kinda depicts the places it is from. For once South America had a big influence on Solarpunk, which is most oftenly associated with the lush rain forest of the amazonas. But also... White people kinda feel most at home in temperate regions.

But if either we woud establish a Solarpunk world - or you just wanted to write a Solarpunk stories... There would still be deserts.

And sure, we could talk about stopping desertification and such things. Something that is definitely important. But some desert should remain, because they are still a unique habitat. So, what does Solarpunk do with that - and how could people live in those areas?

Now, I have to underline again: Deserts are habitats for all sorts of flora and fauna. Animals live their, no matter how inhospitable to life they seem to be. Because of that they should be protected to some degree. Again: We should stop the spread of deserts into other habitats, but the desert in of itself is home to a lot of life, even if it might not seem that way.

As such it has also been a habitat to humans for a long while. No wonder. While humans did not originate in the deserts of Africa, those were darn close and of course some of the first humans went there and some managed to survive there. As such our species has actually a lot of experience when it comes to surviving in the desert.

Humans for the most part will not live in the middle of the desert, of course, but rather at the outskirts or maybe at an oasis of some sort. But of course even there people might need to deal with the elements. Like the heat, the sun, the cold nights (never forget: deserts are very cold at night), the generally dry climate.

Of course we could deal with the heat with ACs, but... ACs are not very good for the environment of course. But also: For most of human history, humans did not have ACs and humans have actually found a lot of ways to keep houses relatively cool through passive cooling system and by using building materials, that cool the insides and help the place well tempered.

But of course in modern times, we also could use heat pumps to move the temperate air around and keep the houses cool during the day and warm at night.

One big issue is the water. Of course, humans tend to go to places where there is water. Like an oasis or close to a lake or other body of water. But of course we do have an issue with the ground water declining for several reasons. So, what can we do?

Well, actually we have found intesting ways with harvesting the water from the air through all sorts of methods. For example by spanning wires, where the daw can collected during thr night. While it is not plentiful, it does work quite well.

But, of course, I cannot talk about solarpunk deserts without talking about photo voltaic and also wind energy.

There are those folks, who will propagade that it would be super practical to build like this giant, giant photo voltaic farm in the middle of the Sahara and then get all the energy from it. Which, technically... I mean, a lot would have to change, but yeah, there is a lot of energy there.

Even though... I am not a big fan of this idea. Because, again: Habitat. And animals cannot all live in those areas, where there is big, big photovoltaic. Still, some areas of the desert could be used as such to add to the general energy grids.

And, yes. There is also wind energy. Something a lot of people do not consider. But a lot of deserts have very windy areas, which could easily be used to generate energy. So... Yeah, that would be nice, wouldn't it?

wanna know about my general ghoul headcanons. we'll you are gonna know ANYWAY!!

overall ghoul headcanons;

all of the ghouls elements are [usually] easily able to tell apart because of their appearance. they don't all look the same but they all have one common theme to them

multi ghouls can only be able to have 3 elements. they can't have anymore than that

ghouls dont go through element changes, rather some ghouls were born with features similar to another ghouls element [ex: delta was born with water ghoul traits, therefore confused to be a water ghoul]

similarly to that, once a ghoul is figured out to be a different element, depending on if there's already a ghoul with that element they won't change the instrument or anything until the ghoul with the same element retires and the other can take its place as their correct element

fire ghouls;

all fire ghouls have a consistent theme with them which is that they all seem to be rock or mineral/metal based.

fire ghouls are able to produce flames from a part of their body. this can differ from every fire ghoul but almost all fire ghouls will be able to produce flames from their tail or horns

fire ghouls aren't aggressive by default, but they're prone to getting easily irritated and lashing out. how a fire ghoul acts when unprovoked is entirely based on who they are

they aren't immune to getting burnt but they have a higher tolerance for it since they can produce their own flames. the flames they produce from themselves aren't super powerful or big so they don't get burned by them. bigger and more power flames can and will burn them if they get too close

these ghouls are always pretty warm. doesn't matter the weather, they normally do not like wearing warmer clothing. Just causes a bunch of sweating and uncomfyness. there can obviously be exceptions

fire ghouls LOVE warm climates. They love summer and the heat it brings. this also means they are prone to get seasonal depression during cooler months of the year

water ghouls;

all water ghouls are based off sealife. sea animals or coral or anything like that. typically, it's sea animals

water ghouls can produce a variety of things from their body depending on what their appearance is based on. but normally they can all produce water from any part of them. they typically do this when they feel not clean but they don't feel dirty enough to need a shower.

most water ghouls are pretty chill as a default, but it can still depend. normally they rarely get too aggressive but they can still be prone to irritability

water ghouls enjoy swimming a lot and can do it longer than most ghouls or humans can. water ghouls can spend up to 48 hours just swimming before their body eventually gets tired. there are possible exceptions to this

water ghouls are pretty cold or lukewarm. they hate windy weather, as it's sensitive on their skin and gills. they love warm weather but hate hot weather. spring is the perfect time of year for them, especially with all the rain!

quintessence ghouls;

all the quints are based off of bugs!! usually insects but really any type of bug

quint powers really depend on the ghoul. they usually have 1 to 2 differents powers and stuff. some can heal, some can produce particles like stars

quint ghouls are also pretty chill like water ghouls. and they rarely ever do get irritated. it just isn't in their nature. if they do get irritated, however, they can be extremely angry and prone to violence

quint ghouls enjoy hanging out with other ghouls or being alone to think with their own thoughts, there is no in between. omega, phantom, delta, and aether love to get together to cuddle and nap for example. their favorite weather is fall typically. depending on what type of bug they are, they enjoy climbing the various tall tree outside the ministry

quint ghouls are cold as all hell and have to warm themselves up by wearing warmer clothing most of the time. if they are alone or with other quints, they don't bother with warm clothing since they're so used to their temperature

air ghouls;

all air ghouls are either based off of cloud, based off of animals like sheep or goats, or both!

air ghouls have no powers really. they produce small amounts of wind when they move but that is really about it

air ghouls are pretty energetic most of the time and always want to socialize. they are the first to wake everyone in the morning just for some company. they love to talk for hours and hours on end. they can be very easily irritated however, but they won't really yell at you or anything. they will just start isolating themselves

air ghouls don't mind any type of weather as long as it's cloudy. cloudy days are their happiest days and usually the days the spend the most outside. they'll spend the entire day outside, only going back in for bathroom breaks or food

air ghouls are cool. like a nice breezy early morning type cool. a lot of the ghouls want to snuggle up with them in the warmer seasons and since air ghouls are so social they don't mind at all

their hair can be easily formed into different shapes, especially those with cumulus cloud type hair!

earth ghouls;

earth ghouls are based on anything out on land in nature. many are based on deer

earth ghouls have the power to regrow plants, produce tiny things like ferns and dandelions, and if powerful enough are able to speed up the growth of bigger plants like trees

earth ghouls are pretty down to earth [pun was totally intended]. They do not like conflict, unless you try and mess with plants grown by them. they will just scold you at the most and they rarely hold grudges

earth ghouls love spring and summer. it's when they can grow their prettiest plants, and they love to plant small flowers around the ministry. Primo favors these ghouls

earth ghouls temperature is usually a comfortable warm, not too hot but not cool either. a nice balance in the middle

for those shaped like goats or deer, their legs are more digigrade. idk if there's a more scientific term for it just look up digigrade fursuit. you'll see what i mean

multi ghouls;

multi ghouls are based on reptiles!! most commonly lizards

multi ghouls have both the powers of their combined elements!! for example, a fire + water multi ghoul has both those powers

multi ghouls are very energetic and very competitive. they love to play fight, race other ghouls. they are usually referred to as more feral or wild but it's rarely in a bad way. they love to talk your ear off and listen to you and get so invested in whatever you're talking about as well

multi ghouls love the winter, no matter the elements they are combined with. they love how snow feels, how they can make snowmen and snowballs. they LOVE snowball fights and get very into it

their body temperature is pretty warm, sometimes cold. it really depends on the weather

yes they can shed their skin!! it looks and feels really gross and uncomfortable and they usually isolate during those times.

in rare cases, if a multi ghoul is combined with 3 elements, some of their scales can glow in the dark!!

hope at least one person reads this post

Went to the Syracuse ritual last night! @chumpacabra and I made it to the barrier on Dew's side, right below his platform. I'll post a few photos soon, but for now, here's a little bit of a recap:

-The weather was wild. Super windy and wet. The wind pulled the kabuki screen down immediately, and the stage had to be mopped periodically between songs, but it made for SUPER cool photos of Papa and the ghouls in the rain

-Rain and Phantom/Aeon were so absolutely attached at the hip holy shit. Every time I looked to their side of the stage they were playing together

-Cumulus and Aurora dancing together and blowing each other kisses on their platforms and being overall fucking adorable

-Rain grabbed Dew’s waist during the whammy bar thing

-SWISS/AEON HUG!!!!

-Looked like Dew kept doing the "call me" hand signal to some guy in the crowd(?). He did it multiple times, and it was one of the last things he did before he walked off stage

-Some sound or guitar issues at the beginning had Dew looking frustrated. Seemed like some sound issues overall, maybe because of the rain?

-Dew’s hands, holy shit. Would be perfectly satisfied to go to a show and just watch him play the whole time

-Papa said the " I'll take you out to the parking lot and do you all one at a time after the show" thing, but he said it was too cold and wouldn't want anybody to get sick

-Didn't see Cirrus at all (no Mummy Dust, rip) until bows :(

-Dew chucked a pick at me, it bounced off my hand and flew into the gap between pit and stage, but an absolute angel of a security guard grabbed it for me. Sir, I owe you my life.

Overall it was fucking amazing and also thank you to the person in line who gave me the Sodo bracelet!!

CHAPTER 1 :: Kamino

Type: SAFE HAVEN; GN! Reader Character(s): Shaak Ti, Tipoca City Notes: So I decided to write it! This is the first chapter to my fanfic SAFE HAVEN! Hope you enjoy it <3

The shuttle descended through the heavy rain, heavily touching down on the water-based city’s platform, the clanking sound of metal erupting through the windy air.

You glanced down at the cold cylindrical hilt in your hands, the polished surface dimly mirroring your nervous expression. “This is it,” you mumbled quietly, sucking in a sharp breath. And you were right. This was it. This was the moment you'd not only meet the Jedi you were to call your tutor, your master, from now on, but also the moment new doors would open and new paths would be provided for you to choose. A new life full of new possibilities. You shuddered excitedly. Suddenly the hatch opened with a swooshing sound and after taking a deep breath, you clipped the hilt of your lightsaber back to your belt and stood from your seat, smoothening out the creases of your tunic for what felt like the hundredth time.

Water splashed around as you disembarked and were immediately greeted with a tall Kaminoan woman. Her clean, silvery skin almost seemed out of place among the darkness of Tipoca City and her big eyes gently observed you. "You seem impressed," she stated quietly, her voice was sweet and welcoming. You almost didn't notice how your jaw slightly dropped as you watched the towering cloning facilities and the endless expanse of water below before quickly closing it and clearing your throat. "Ah, yes," you uttered, straightening your back, "It's, er, it's some very remarkable architecture." The Kaminoan glanced at you, almost thoughtfully, before turning around and making her way into the facility in slow strides, leaving you standing cluelessly on the landing site. "Hey, wait!"

Taking it as an invitation to join her, you stumbled forward until you finally caught up with her. "My name [name]!" You gasped, hardly keeping up with her pace, "I was assigned by the Jedi Council to be General Shaak Ti's padawan! Do you possibly know where I could find her?" Only now did you start noticing the cadets and troopers walking past, curiously glancing at you. You gulped. This would definitely take time to get used to. "I was already informed of your arrival, General Ti sent to collect you," she murmured softly, "my name is Nala Se, I work as a doctor and scientist here. As you'll be working with the clones from now on, I'm certain we will both have the pleasure of meeting regularly."

You almost felt a little bad for only listening to her with half an ear as you examined the clean, white walls and the large, transparent domes that proudly appeared through the glass windows of the corridor. You could almost feel your mouth get drier at the sight. So this was supposed to be your home from now on? It felt so different, so unusual. Almost artificial in a way. Crossing your arms over your chest, you couldn't help but hug yourself a little as the overwhelming feelings raged on within you.

"Nala Se!" A young voice erupted through the hollow corridor, drawing some attention of the bypassing clones as well as you and the Kaminoan. A girl, clearly a few years younger than you, approached you hurriedly. She hair short blonde hair and wore a white tunic with multicoloured sleeves. A large, excited smile was plastered across her face as she fixated Nala Se, not even noticing your presence as she bounced up and down like a super ball. "Omega?" Nala Se looked at her questioningly. "The padawan's arrival has been reported, they're here!" The girl, Omega, announced.

Something you'd almost call a chuckle escaped Nala Se as she slowly pointed at you. "[Name], this is Omega, my apprentice. She's been very excited to meet you." You glanced from her to Omega, who was now staring at you with big eyes until it clicked. "Your General Ti's padawan!" She squealed before waving you along, “Come on, the General’s already waiting for you!” Before you marched off after her, you sent a quick glance at Nala Se who just nodded quietly, giving you the answer you needed before hearing Omega call out your name.

As you followed the small girl through the facility, you couldn’t help but gawk at the highly advanced world of Tipoca City. It was impressive, that was for sure. “Aside from the general, I’ve barely ever seen a Jedi,” Omega’s voice caught your attention, “Do you also have one of those laser sabers?” A chuckle escaped your mouth at the sight of her curious eyes. “Yes,” You unclipped the hilt on your belt, holding it up for her. “It’s called a lightsaber. I can show you some of my tricks with it some time?” “You’d do that for me?” Omega clapped her hands excitedly as you nodded.

Finally, after earning some more curious glances from the clones, she stopped in front of a door. Just as she raised her hand to unlock it, it swished open and a Togruta appeared behind it, slightly taken back by you two. “Ah,” she then smiled as she observed you, “you‘re [name], aren’t you? I‘m Shaak Ti.“

Just jumping in on the whole “babies napping outside” thing: Also if parents haven’t let the babies nap outside before, they’ll definitely do it when they go to the nursery/nursery school. Obviously if it’s super cold, snowy or windy they nap inside.

Most people are comfortable with leaving their babies outside of a café, since scandi countries tend to be rather safe and people are used to it and therefore everyone sort of keeps an eye out for them.

This is definitely part of the reason why Pernille does it in Denmark. She thinks it's much safer than doing it in Germany

[cult-of-the-eye]

Hi! Can I ask a question? (for science purposes.) If you were to pick a season for tma characters, what would you pick? Are there characters you associate with a particular season? (like, for example, I think I associate Martin with spring and Jon with, like, early to late autumn.)

Anyway, feel free to ignore this if you don't want to answer, I just wanted to know different people's interpretations in the fandom. Have a nice, cozy day (or evening!)

Oooh this is a cool question!!

Jon - he gives me the kind of autumn where it's windy and a biting kinda cold but it's not super rainy yet.

Martin - holiday season!!! Bro is the personification of like cinammon and hot chocolate plus I feel like he hates summer cause of body image issues, dysphoria, sensory issues with sweat and heat, the stress of choosing clothes which you dont have to worry about in holiday season cause everything's hidden beneath a coat or jumper

Tim - he's such a late august kinda guy, intense and humid but also like your actions have no consequences and the constant feeling of running out of time

Sasha - hmmm. Summer rain. I don't know why.

Daisy - yeah she's a 3rd January kind of person. It's still freezing cold. It's bleak. There's no understanding in January.

Melanie - spring. she's a bright cold person, you're very sure where she stands with you and whether it's good or bad, you're glad that you know.

Georgie - giving July summer, that kind of dependable warmth

Thanks for the ask!! I had so much fun!!
