If Greygold was a companion, what would be the best way to initiate a romance with them? Would they go for the “L” word early or an Act or two later?

The "L" word was lube, right? Right? Else showering Durge/Tav with kisses Gomez-Addams-Style is the alternative.

Maybe the Nat 20 romance isn't the best way for Tav/Durge, but it sure is for Greygold. You just know Greygold scared that Dream Guardian away the first time and has been low-key obsessed with that armor since

I have evolved into Scuttlespring anon, just say anything about them. I love them so much

THE ANON PANTHEON GROWS

Ok so. Gorgug likes Mary Ann because she absolutely infuriates him but also, and perhaps more importantly, because she has a type of confidence I think a younger Gorgug would have deeply envied. She's so weird, but entirely sure of herself. She likes what she likes and anyone who would have a problem with that is absolutely beneath her notice. She has friends not despite her oddities, but because she refuses to bend about them and that confidence is incredibly attractive in a person. Mary Ann Skuttle see's something she wants and she just...goes and gets it, easy peasy. Tiny little kobald strides, but when she puts her foot down with force, Gorgug thinks she could crush a mountain under with nothing so much as a blink or falter of her stride. She's certainly physically strong enough for it, and while Gorgug is undisputedly the better fighter, Mary Ann has a physical strength hidden under soft pastel pink hoodies and can, has, and will knock Gorgug on his ass. Gorgug got THRASHED at those Bloodrush field tryouts, and I'm certain he probably got his ass handed to him more than once during the year while at practice but before he quit the team. She made him so damn mad, everything that year was, and endlessly kind Gorgug got real mean to her over it. She was better than him, more casually confident, and didn't blink ONCE at his outburst. And later? When she was resurrected and freed from possession? He talks to her, acknowledges that it was just a game but he had been actually mad to be so easily knocked aside. He never really had to work at Bloodrush to be good at it, he just was, until suddenly she proved herself better.

And yet, without flinching, Mary Ann, famous for not giving a shit but listening to Gorgug say how much he had, just....asks if he has a girlfriend. Unparalleled confidence, shooting a shot he was unprepared for. Planets aligned even as his own orbit was knocked off course. And then, when he admits he doesn't even know where to get a quokki pet, something its been explicitly known to be something she really cares about? She writes down her number, letting him see that folded paper. She initiated this, and he got swept up in it, but instead of just handing over the number and allowing him to be swept up- Mary Ann Skuttle puts the number away and tells him shes gonna put it where you get quokki pets, and if he wants her number he's going to have to go get it. He's not allowed to just be swept up in the force of her, she wants him to put in effort, prove to her and himself that this isn't just a moment but a starting point. He cant be swept up by the tide, he's gotta swim. Gorgug liked Zelda, but their relationship started because they thought she was in danger and Gorgug had the best in. He stumbled into that relationship unsure and off balance, he never would have had the confidence to pursue Zelda without his friends hands on his back and their advice in his ears. Later on he gets more serious, he did love her and he put in the work to maintain that relationship, but it didn't work out and that's ok. Ever confident Mary Ann tho? She doesn't want unsure stumbling steps into this relationship. If Gorgug doesn't make the active decision to chase her, to WANT to be with her and putting deliberate effort to get there, then she doesn't want him at all. Gorgug, confused, asking where you even GET a quokki pet? And she smirks, calls him a loser, and walks away leaving him reeling and dumbfounded. Mary Ann Skuttle wants Gorgug to work for this. And who is Gorgug Thistlespring, but someone who puts in the work for things he wants? He did the seemingly impossible by creating his own subclass of Barbaficer, even if he had to take four years of schooling all at once. He puts in the work and makes the impossible possible, the greatest wizard of this age. So yeah. Yeah. Gorgug Thistlespring likes Mary Ann Skuttle because she makes him work for it.

"anything that is kinky or inspires lustful thoughts shouldn't be out in public in front of minors!" babygirl that is literally a clause in an anti-drag bill that just passed my state's legislative house, you are a reactionary authoritarian who just can't join the authoritarian club because you're gay

Sometimes I see the way certain people in a fandom treat a ‘tough love but well meaning and trying his best in the only way he knows how’ Dad and I can only think “You have a horrid relationship with your father, don’t you? 🫵👁️👁️”

A normal day for Charlie,based off of an old ask for @jencilthepencil @lemonlysunny

[polecatt]

Is Kab doing this on purpose? She literally said she’s trying to be the Joker, but like does she know? Is she acting like S5 Zam on purpose cause she knows it’ll get to him or is it just a coincidence? I don’t know how often she watched S5 and how much she knows but omg..

Like she pulled the “am i reminding you of your past” thing but was she literally referring to Joker Zam or just how he used to be violent..

oh btw just know that your fear/anxiety CAN be diminished or become almost nonexistent if worked on, even if you feel like you’re forever doomed to be afraid.

for example, this time last year i was absolutely HORRIFIED of going to the dentist. i had some traumatizing experiences in my early childhood and dental stuff was just panic inducing even tho i had braces for three years and had to go like every month. after getting them taken off i hadn’t been in over 13 years and was basically forced to go once my molar became infected and other cavities were eating my teeth.

but i have the right dentist now and i walked out of my first appointment practically unafraid. i was a little nervous about some of my bigger procedures, but it was nothing compared to the fear i used to experience. not even any shaking or stomach pain or anything. even with my issues with the numbing today, it rolled right off my shoulders, and the same goes for so many other situations i’ve been in that, a few years ago, i’m certain would’ve had me panicking.

i managed to get myself out of a situation that didn’t serve me as well as get therapy, and although i have the occasional moment of anxiety especially because i have trauma issues, i don’t live in fear almost every day like i used to. for years and years i thought i would just suffer for the rest of my life because that’s just the way it was, my brain was messed up and i WAS my anxiety/trauma. it defined me, and in some ways it still does, but it doesn’t completely control me like it used to.

it’s an ongoing process and i’m sure it looks different for everybody, but just a couple of years have gone by since i was at my lowest of lows but now i think i’m the happiest and healthiest i’ve ever been. like literally in my entire life. i’m not totally “fixed” or perfect by any means and i have setbacks sometimes but i can go to the dentist or have my car break down without feeling like the world is going to explode. i never thought it would be possible, but here i am. just thought i would share in case anyone feels like they’re hopeless or whatnot, because you aren’t.

[mad-hunts]

hey, y'all — i know this may seem like a post that's coming from a little bit out of the blue BUT i wanted to spread positivity today and say i hope you all have had a wonderful monday ❤️ plus, that i love each + every one of you. and although i know that life can certainly be rough sometimes, there's always going to be someone out there who cares about you. so, if any of you are ever having a rough time, my IM's are always open and my discord is available upon request if you need someone to talk to. because i promise i'll never judge y'all for anything.

now this is a very silly video, i know, but in the case that anyone might need some cheering up... this made me laugh because the batman in the arkham games? yeah, he REALLY was making criminals go air-born because although batman doesn't kill, that doesn't mean that he won't severely injure someone or main them ☠️ LMAO

everytime i feel bad and stressed about my life i remember that i might be in a troubling situation and having a bad time but im not season 4 fiona gallagher in the clink after leaving crack on the counter which my 3 year old baby brother happened to ingest resulting in a fatal near-death experience thats wracked me with never-ending guilt and forever altered my life

[cheekblush]

finally got myself out of the rut i’ve been stuck in the past few days and went for a walk. got an açaí bowl and the owner of the place gave me a free drink 🥹 then i went around the lake and all the trees were covered in golden hues of sunlight. summer is coming to an end but i’m glad i got to enjoy one of the last warm september days and soak up the sun. nature is truly healing 🫶🏻💘🌤️

i love your pride birds, but i will say that it does make me feel a little sad to see the exclusion of the lesbian flag. :(((

Hi! I'm sorry to make you feel excluded! As I mentioned in the post, the plan was to do more (in fact, the original plan was to post two designs a week during pride month) but I am disabled and have been really struggling to make art (or do much of anything tbh!) for several weeks now.

Unfortunately that meant that the lesbian flag, nonbinary flag, pan flag, and aro flag, all didn't manage to get done. In fact, this ask makes me a little sad because the lesbian flag one was actually next on my list, to the point where I had finished the lineart but not the colouring (for what it's worth, it's a tiel with carnations)

I hope this clears things up a bit - I wasn't actively excluding a flag, it's just been a rough few weeks disability-wise. I hope you had a good pride month, and I hope you feel seen by other lesbian representation! (I also have some other lesbian pride art from previous years!)

Was thinking about Alan having his first time(with Leo not the PC although with who isn't really relevant) and realized. . .I can't imagine Alan's ever like. Watched porn.

Maybe he's incidentally seen some like someone in the garage showed him pictures or something, or he saw a porn ad while using his phone but like

He would have 0 knowledge of what to do with his head between anyone's legs. He just has no knowledge there. He barely paid attention in school, he probably just barely understands 'you put the penis in the vagina' anything beyond that is new. He operates purely on instinct and where he's pushed and pulled and told to touch. He might touch somewhere because of curiosity alone but he had 0 idea what he's doing.

He can probably count the amount of times he's jerked off in his life on both hands. Like he's just not fully aware of that kind of thing at all. He's not a pure innocent baby or anything but he's just. Clueless. He thinks about other stuff.

Like if you ask him what he jerked off to it'd be half innocuous things like "your hair feels soft when I pat you" and "that time you looked up at me and smiled" and "how nice your smell" and "the way your body felt against mine when you hugged me that one time" and "the way your wrist felt when i held it on the mission". And less innocuous things like "your chest and legs" and "the time i got you to work out with me and you were sweating and gasping and shaking at the end".

And he'd apologize for that stuff because none of it is sex so it's weird to think about it when he's horny right? It's not like it aroused him [much?] in the moment but for some reason it came to mind when he was hard and couldn't sleep--
