Throughout my childhood, there have been numerous signs that Hermes wished to work with me, but I was completely unaware. I thought about adding wings to my shoes, wore the caduceus as a necklace, and felt a constant urge to write more and express myself freely. Communicating effectively, sharing my feelings, and jotting down my emotions became important to me.

He always made me think of him—his presence, his words, his thoughts. He made the effort. I felt a strong connection to trickster archetypes and chthonic deities. While traveling, Hermes was constantly on my mind. So many tell-tale signs and clear indications. I viewed him as the healer, the messenger, the scholar, the guider of souls, the multifaceted one, and the protector.

Of course, I wouldn't say Hermes was the only one reaching out, but he was certainly one of the main ones.

Eddie starts, but the words die on his tongue.

Buck reclines into the sofa and props his feet on the coffee table. He doesn’t look at Eddie, but he asks while focused on flicking through house listings, “But what?”

But.

But is a very good question.

Or it’s not a question at all. It’s a reservation. A thing that might happen. Not a big deal of a thing. But still a thing.

The realtor might think they’re— not friends. Not only friends. More than friends. She might think—

Not that Eddie minds the thought of this thing that could be construed from Buck helping out or taking over his call with a realtor to find a house. He doesn’t mind.

But it would imply— it is a possibility that it might look like, from an outsider’s perspective, someone who doesn’t know better, it would appear that he and Buck want to, and maybe already are? Living together.

Or maybe not. Maybe it’s a stretch to believe? Maybe she won’t notice or care one way or another. Maybe lots of friends go house hunting together. Maybe it’s a regular thing?

It’s not a big deal anyway. If she thinks he and Buck are together. She probably won’t even notice. Why would anyone care if they’re a couple or not? Just because Buck wants to help him look for a house doesn’t mean anything beyond that. It’s a normal thing. He’s helping. Other people have friends. Single people need places to live, too. And they bring friends along to help them. Don’t they? And it’s not a bad thought. Eddie’s not offended. The idea of Buck being his—

Would Buck be his husband? Boyfriend? Fiancé?

It’s not a bad idea. It’s—

Eddie’s overthinking it. He doesn’t care if the realtor thinks he and Buck are a couple. It’s fine. Good.

Or— it’s completely neutral and not a big deal.

Buck is the best partner. Whoever gets to marry him will be really lucky. And so happy. Who could be a better, more loving, more supportive husband? Who would be more fun to have a relationship with? Buck is funny and silly and he has the best heart. He’s the epitome of thoughtful and generous. Even the worst days are made a thousand times better when Buck is part of them. Even the most boring tasks or tedious chores are more fun with Buck. Even something as stupid as folding laundry is better when they do it together.

It’s not a bad idea. Is the thing. It’s a really good thing. It would be the best thing. To be married to Buck.

If it were something possible.

It is the best thing to be someone Buck loves. Even if it’s in a platonic capacity. Platonic isn’t inferior. In most cases, it’s incredibly superior. Buck loves with all his heart and soul, without reservation, sometimes to his detriment but Eddie would love him back.

Eddie would love him back with just as much devotion and ferocity.

If it were possible.

If he could.

If they had that sort of relationship.

They don’t have that sort of relationship. It’s not even in the realm of possible. But if it were a thing, it would be a good one.

Eddie decides he needs to move to Texas and slowly unravels as he comes to terms with how he really feels and what he's losing.

chubby! virgin! reader thinking that being a late bloomer is the worst thing that could ever happen to her! Every one of her friends knows what it's like to have sex while she's the only virgin left on planet earth. when she rants about it to best friend! gojo satoru, the man everyone wants to fuck (including her) he tells her that if she wants, he can take her virginity for her. sure enough she agrees, not because she's in love with him or anything of course not, he could never see her as more than a friend and she's come to terms with that (doesn't mean she can't be a little selfish). she keeps reminding herself that he is simply doing her a favor as her best friend while he lovingly kisses the side of her neck and leaves dark hickeys on the skin, marking her up for others to see. she tries not to let her heart skip a beat while he slowly kisses her as his long fingers thrust gently in and out of her, fingertips pressing against her sweet spot. this is just what friends do for each other she tells herself as he lines his cock up to her slick entrance and slowly sinks inside of her. what she doesn't expect is for him to be gazing so tenderly at her, for his hand to be holding hers as his hips rock back and forth and she doesn't expect sex with her best friend to feel so good. it's almost sinful how good his cock feels, his tip is always just pushing up against her g-spot and making her eyes roll into the back of her head and her toes curl at the new intense feeling. He stops once she cums for him, not that she's disappointed he didn't cum inside of her or anything crazy like that.

After her first time she can't stop thinking about sex and now she can't stop thinking about gojo, not that she could before. but whenever she sees him now a throb goes right to her pussy and her panties soak themselves as the memories come rushing back. it's unfair to him that she's thinking such dirty thoughts about him, he did her a favor after all and thinking about her best friend like this was wrong. so obviously she begins to avoid him. opting for hanging out alone rather than with the rowdy white haired male. but it's not enough because he invades her dreams at night and she wakes up with the urge to slip a hand under her panties.

eventually gojo realizes what's going on of course and he confronts her, asking her why she's been so distant ever since they hooked up. he just wants to know if she's been seeing someone else, the thought makes his gut twist and his mind race with thoughts of who it could be but instead she just looks down and admits her feelings for him, confessing that the reason she's been so avoidant is because she's in love with him and her body has a physical reaction whenever he's around. she admits that she knows she isn't his type but wishes if possible for them to at least be friends with benefits.

to which he agrees.

in case you are in the mood to feel devastated here’s an alternate way of viewing charles’ response to edwin’s confession:

we know that charles kinda puts edwin on a pedestal- yes they are partners but there is a bit of a hierarchy between them. charles just looks up to and admires edwin in so many ways while constantly looking down on and being really hard on himself. he puts on his big happy persona because he thinks that people wouldn’t like him if they actually got to know him.

so when edwin confesses, it’s like a blow to him. he took his charming persona too far and went and tricked the most important person in the world into thinking he was worthy of love. and it’s worse because he does love edwin in that way, which is exactly why he can’t let him know that. charles still believes that he is like his dad, and he saw exactly what his parents’ relationship did to his mother.

he thinks that loving edwin in the way that he wants to would only cause more pain to this boy who has already been through far more than he deserves. so he blinks back his tears, attempts the same charming smile he’s used all these years, and dishes out the gentlest non-rejection in the history of forever

be so fr if sam knew what zara pulled with robby she would've ROCKED HER SHIT so hard

[menlove]

like man just the layers of internalized homophobia w john and paul are soooo crazy and depressing. bc it's literally just that like. paul knew he was in love, he knew he was jealous, and he knew he wanted to throw a fit about it. but he didn't feel he'd earned any of that, no matter how serious their relationship was, bc he was A Man and a relationship between two men could never hold the same weight as a relationship between a man and a woman. like john continually later referred to paul like an ex spouse/ex partner in life & they both saw each other that way but it just. wasn't allowed to be Real. no matter how real it was. and it also makes me think about that interview a few years ago where the interviewer referred to john as the love of paul's life and paul sputtered a "but the women!"

like. no matter how strongly they felt about each other or whatever depth of a relationship they had they just wouldn't let themselves feel it like it was as real a relationship as it was...... absolutely sickening. i feel eternally Terrible for the shit queer people had to go through i'm ngl

Steve: I don’t think I can keep going for long guys, I’m feeling kind of fuzzy… maybe someone can like.. carry me?

Steve: *looking hopefully at Eddie*

Eddie: *smirks* I can-

Dustin: Jeeeeesus, Steve! What are you, a damsel in distress?

Steve: ….I mean, no, but-

Dustin: So stop whining and keep going!

Robin: A way to ruin the mood, twerp.

Since I'm currently sick, I now have some time to post, so have this.

Ace: out of everyone, who do think would be a good spouse and why?

Yuu: hmm...I would go with Sebek.

Sebek: *already blushing* HA?! Why me?!

Ace: yeah, why him? Not that I'm upset or anything...

Yuu: hear me out on this one

Yuu: we all know how obs- khm how much he loves Malleus. So, if Sebek ever has someone he truly loves like Malleus, that would mean he would treat them with respect, almost like royalty. He would be the most loyal boyfriend or spouse or whatever you want it to be. Plus he would do anything for this person, no?

Sebek: *stunned*

Ace: ...you do have a point. But what about the others?

Yuu: hmm. You would be an okay-ish spouse. I mean, sure you can be serious, if the thing will benifit you. And uhh.. you are funny, so that's a good point?

Ace: that hurt, but touche

Yuu: Deuce is a tough nut to crack. He is a mama's boy, so I think he would be another safe option. But should not be angered.

Yuu: Jack on the other hand, he is a good boy. Could do no harm to the love of their life, but not the man in the relationship. Also, he wouldn't be very honest about his feelings to the other person.

Yuu: Epel is... that farm boy is tough and strong, but has a soft spot for apples and his grandma. So if you are neither, don't even try with him. And don't call him cute or you'll die.

Ace and Sebek: ....

Sebek: well, seems like you already decided, no? *grinning*

Ace: wha-?! No they did not! So don't try anything funny you crocodile!

Yuu: ??

I don’t know how to explain any more clearly that it doesn’t MATTER if it seems legitimate to you. You have got to fact check every single headline and post and claim on the left just like you need to do on the right.

The left is NOT immune to misinformation and rushed reporting. And the more emotionally polarizing or shocking the talking points, sound bytes, and headlines are, the worse it is and more frequently it happens.

Learn to verify through multiple independent sources. If you can’t do that, you can’t trust it.

If you have to wait extra hours for the real information to come through vetted channels—NOT just one individual somewhere everyone links to, and not just one single media source either, EVEN if it’s a major news network—thats just how it has to be. What news outside of genuine local disasters near you TRULY needs your outrage and post-sharing in the next hour specifically?

Misinformation works best by not seeming like misinformation and by fitting in with the rest of what you already expect to see. It doesn’t help anyone to not be able to recognize and avoid the stuff.

Does anyone else ever think about how funny it would be if Leonard McCoy’s “the ex wife took the whole damn planet in the divorce” was literal 🥸 like, okay, but just hear me out 🥸 what if Bones was royalty 🤣 AND NONE OF THE CREW REALIZE BECAUSE THEY THINK HES JUST BEING SARCASTIC 🤣✨✨💃💃

I think the fandom phenomenon by which a majority of even the straightest of Honkai Star Rail fans admit that Blade is "kind of gay" or was "gay in a past life" never mind that he's never had a past life, meanwhile straight Genshin fans just absolutely refuse to say Alhaitham is gay should be studied for science.

What secret has Blade unlocked that allowed him to escape from the straightification?

What in the world is Blade doing that Alhaitham hasn't done that is somehow signalling gayness to the straight fans?

I'm genuinely curious as to how two relatively similar characters (stoic, muscled, masculine) could end with one getting the "Okay yeah, Yingxing was gay" handwave while Alhaitham could probably wear a pride flag and people would still say he's straight and just being an "ally" for Kaveh.

Truly a worthy research subject...

After watching the 2004 movie: I mean honestly it's sad the Phantom didn't want Raoul cause the hottest he ever looked was all tied up and bound to that grate with the noose and also bleeding. If they had sex about it I'd cheer

While reading the novel: Erik has got Christine on the brain and Raoul wants to hatefuck the face of death with the voice of an angel so bad it makes him look stupid.

After watching Love Never Dies: ...They couldda fucked during Devil Takes the Hindmost. I have never before thought this but it is true that Raoul was made to be choked and held by the throat.
