#just something I've been thinking about

[aphrogeneias]

The party moves slowly around you.

Or maybe it's just the haze you find yourself in, sitting on your boyfriend's lap. You'd tried to get up twice, but Eddie wouldn't let you, hands planted firmly on your hips, moving to your thighs and up again. It makes your head lighter than it already is.

You don't know what they're talking about. The boys flail their limbs excitedly, gesticulating about whatever it was that made them raise their voices like that. Eddie laughs, and you feel his chest vibrate behind you, making you feel warm all over.

It's like all the disappears. The loud music, the friends of a friend of a friend, the clattering the bottles and the smell of weed, the cheap lights rotating on the ceiling. He surrounds you — the rough material of his jeans on your bare legs, the scent of the cologne he got from Wayne, the warmth from under the worn cotton of his Judas Priest t-shirt.

The hand that's running up and down your spine, gently at first, and then pressing a little harder. Caressing the nape of your neck, calloused thumb squeezing lightly. It raises goosebumps down your spine.

You lean back a little bit, just to ask "What are you doing?"

He doesn't look at you when he answers. "Nothing."

Eddie kisses your shoulder. Nothing, he says, but his hands say otherwise. One presses on your thigh, rings leaving tender indents on the naked skin right under your skirt, another pressing on your spine, rubbing it a little roughly, up to your neck and back down again.

You squirm on his lap, but that just seems to amuse him more. "Stop it!" You whisper, turning so you can face him.

"'M not doing anything, baby."

The kiss he presses on the side of your neck is sweet, but the hand that pulls on the hair on the nape of your neck is not. It gives you whiplash — he gives you whiplash, this boy of yours. His friends remain none the wiser, still excitedly discussing whatever it was you couldn't concentrate on.

You swallow down a whimper, pressing your thighs together, but the hand between them stops you. You huff and pout, even though you can feel the wetness starting to gather on your underwear, and wonder, through your daze, if he feels it too.

If he does, Eddie says nothing. He gives you another kiss, this time behind your ear. "Relax. I'll get us home soon."

Around you, the party still goes on.

Here's a morsel of truth for you. If Dean ever became genuine friends with another angel, Cas would become so sick with jealousy he would NOT be able to keep it together even 2 sentences of Dean saying anything nice about them. In a way that he wouldn't with a human Dean got close to.

Oh, so they get to be a fully powered angel, AND have the esteem of angel society, AND have Dean's affection AND are probably more useful to him than Cas can be (due to point one) AND don't have the guilt of the ages. Cas would be SICK. He'd be as rude to their face as he can (until Dean goes 🥺 can't you just try to get along 🥺 for me? 🥺 👉👈 you know I like you better) and make a lot of pointed comments about how he and Dean have a profound bond and history and he'd find excuses to keep them away from Dean on hunts (which often backfires because then Cas has to hang out with them without Dean, and he can't stand them). He'd make a scene. He'd 'double check' if they ever healed Dean (which could only happen if Cas wasn't there bc Cas would not be shy about physically pushing them aside to heal Dean first) by holding his hand to Dean's forehead and staring deeply into his eyes for way too long, giving him so much Grace his skin gets a little magnetised for a week.

Dean. Btw. Would not help. He notices this early on and, unfortunately for Cas, thinks it's cute, funny, hot and harmless and also gratifying to have Cas get so protective and borderline stalkery over him. He'd absolutely egg this on by getting more touchy-feely with the other angel only when he knows Cas is watching, and feigns obliviousness ("but why would that bother you? We're just talking." And Cas barely understands his own negative reaction to the other angel and he and Dean aren't dating at all so has no rebuttal). Obviously if push came to shove and Cas talkes about how he feels like he needs to be Useful to be Family and that his place is being usurped Dean would reassure him and probably snog him but before that Dean would have a lot of fun.

However this would never happen because Dean hates all other angels specifically for how they chose to be part of the system Cas bravely rebelled against, didn't see it for what it was or did and didn't care, they value their power and status over all of humanity, AND they HURT CAS which is unconscionable to Dean. So he wouldn't be friends with a full powered angel, and Castiel would be infinitely less jealous of a fallen one. So. Phew!! Lucky on that count, Castiel!!!

One of the things I'm looking forward to most when I get to heaven is the freedom. I will be able to behave according to the truth with no other strings attached. No societal pressure, no false beliefs of my own, no external mold that I have to fit in. I won't be held back by my sin or shame; I will be free. The laws of God will be plain to see, unobscured by finite intellect, and I can live according to those rules and only those rules.

Celebrity!mc who never really steps back into the limelight after coming back from the Devildom and becomes a sort of cryptid where no ones sure if they've seen them or not, and no one being able to track them down.

The longer I've been in this fandom, the more I realize that Ace Attorney doesn't just have a trend of terrible fathers, they also have a lack of good mothers.

Like sure you have your Mr. Winners and your Isaac Dovers; but you also have dads like Gregory, Jeff Masters, "Big Wins" Kitaki, and Damian Tenma.

On the mom's side, we have Plum and technically Bikini as she did raise Iris. That's about it.

It really annoys me when people try to romanticize the "I'll save you from the pirates" scene. It is kind of weird that the animators went through the process of doing all that and I laugh every time at Zuko's cheesy ass line (who doesn't) but it's also a bit like... slow your roll there. I think for me the appeal of zutara is that unlike a lot of enemies to lovers out there, there is no "I can fix him" stage for them. no, they're on opposite sides of a war and there's none of that yucky, unhealthy romance stuff that seems too popular in the mainstream today. I will, however, never get over the fact that he basically proposed to her in her grandmother's culture and will continue to enjoy the idea of them both getting embarrassed by this once he joins the gaang. This has been my longer-than-intended PSA

thinking about the dead pixel,, thinking about jimmy

thinking about how anya will always know it's there, will always be able to see it

thinking about how curly says he can't see it because he's focused on everything as a whole, the big picture, and in the big picture it's barely noticable

but to anya it'll always be there, that one dead pixel

Don't know much about Transformers lore

But Au were Starscream Soundwave and shockwave are left behind after Megatron switches sides

Starscream: Why don't we take a page out of his book!

Shockwave: Illogical

Soundwave: :⁠-⁠[

Starscream: We use the human's past struggles and we relate to their sympathy to give us sanctuary on a small uninhabited land we regain our strength and leave!

Shockwave: Illogical Humans can not understand what we have been through let alone our cause.

Soundwave: Shockwave's Data inconclusive. Humans once operated in cayst system. Humans fight one another for how they are created.

Shockwave:...Data inconclusive will study to reach a logical conclusion.

Just give me them learning about the humans and there history. Finding connections and being reminded of why they become Deceptions. Like Shockwave finding out about lobotomy and getting flash backs or something like glimpses of a life that once was of what he was trying to create. The three of them bonding returning to the roots of the movement. The three of them reaching out not to government leaders but to civil rights activists and posting things online about there lives about what they once wanted to achieve of how it all went wrong.

Megatron just watching on the sidelines seeing as his commanders move on and continue the dream he once had without him.

The humans unsure of what to do because on one hand they can understand because in their own history they've done some shit, on the other hand they don't know who to believe cause Optimus is neither denying nor confirming anything.

Everything has been posted to the Internet being shared and can't be taken down. Even Megatron's old speeches! The trio just want to go home even if home is no longer there they'll make do with whatever is left...also someone hacks into Ghost and shit hits the fan.

best part of being a femme trans man is that many of my childhood "girl" interests are recontextualized in retrospect. like, there's the classic trans struggle of "oh but I enjoyed some aspects of my assigned gender growing up, what does that mean for me? did I really enjoy them? am I really trans?" etc, and obv everyone with these thoughts needs to work through these emotions and find the "answer" that works for their life, and makes them feel best, and grieve their chid self if they need to. but I've got, like, the cheat code. you know? like what, I mained princess peach in mario kart growing up? yeah, that wasn't because "I was a girl" lol. it was cause I was a flaming effeminate 12 year old queen with a budding interest in drag and I got away with it too. and I'd do it again. then repeat for every other instance of me being a child femme, easy.

I wonder why Watcher doesn't do pod highlights on tiktok. That's like 101 on podcast promo. Post the most out of context dialogue points and have people in the comments clamouring for context by way of a quick link to a full episode.

Personally, I'd post Steven's deadpan "I don't think it's good. I think it's bad," declaration wrt mugs.

Don't they want people listening? Anyway I assume it's because Ryan is worried that Charles Melton will tune in and listen to 20 min of semi reluctant fan-boying.

Alright, hear me out folks, I'm going to paint a picture for you guys.

The Trout family is the model family in Peachyville in the late 40s - early 50s, doting wife with two young children and a third on the way, a husband who is deeply involved with his work but loves his family dearly.

But it is that time period, and Tucker has a particular way of wanting things done. He's not prone to anger, especially around his family. His wife is but a girl, how could she know any better (🤢 I know but like it's the time guys, it's the times just stick with me here) so mistakes are bound to happen!

His office is his safe space, but maybe there was a time she had wanted to be kind and straighten up? Or possibly she found out something she wasn't supposed to know. Or maybe it was something as simple as a light push. Somehow, Trudy ends up really hurt, or even dead. Not on purpose of course! Tucker loves his wife and would never want her dead, along with maiming his third child or worse.

But he can fix this! He's an inventor after all. Which leads to cyborg Trudy, but also Timmy who could also be a cyborg but I don't think that's fully true. I think that the child that Trudy was carrying at the time didn't make it. Tucker couldn't handle that, along with the loss of his wife he couldn't handle the loss of a child. He was already helping Trudy, what's stopping him from making the child that he lost?

So, there you have it! The Trout family with its 2.5 beautiful children, loving and doting wife, and genius, inventor husband as the head of household. The perfect example of a loving family in the 50s in Peachyville.

But that's just my fun little morbid theory, let me know what you think!

I do think there's a difference between "advice you've heard a million times and are sick of hearing" that's presented on a tumblr post that just happens to cross your dash, and like. someone directly commenting/messaging you to give you said advice.

like for example, if i see a post on my dash that says something like "anyone can draw! you just need to practice! here's some tips on how to make drawing a habit so you can do it more often!" then like. i can be pretty sure they didn't have me with my particular chronic pain in mind. they're thinking about the people that think they can't draw because they don't have 'innate talent' and are trying to help them. they're not talking to me, their post just happened across my dash. i can keep scrolling and it's no skin off my back, or maybe reblog it for people who actually will be helped by that advice.

meanwhile, if i make a personal post on my blog about how i can't draw and i have no plans on improving, and someone comes into my comments or messages and says "anyone can draw! you just need to practice more!" /then/ it's like seriously? come on. because that person's coming into my space intentionally, while random tumblr posts end up on your dash by chance, you know? one the author probably doesn't know you exist, and the other that person kind of came into your house to talk to you.

but i see a lot of people treating these two things like they're exactly the same and its like. huh. i get being frustrated about hearing the same advice over and over, but sometimes people just. aren't talking to you. and that's okay.

Imagine Kim searching his apartment for more polaroids, desperately searching for any more traces of his beloved Porchay that he might’ve missed…

Only to find nothing. And deep down, behind all the careful walls and barriers he’s built up over the years; his soul quietly weeps for what he’s lost.

[so-long-soldier28]

saw a post that said that elena was a bit dense for trying the "you don't have to do this" approach on kai, when he was clearly enjoying torturing her, and adding onto that, does she not think that he probably "gets off" to her pleading + saying his name over and over?? because i rewatched 6x11 and 6x12, and she uses his name constantly. like, she's probably hoping to catch his attention better, but she has his attention already. he's been isolated for 18 years with NOTHING. no one calling him, no one saying anything. it probably eggs him on more every time.

putting the horror couples who didn't survive together in the coffee shop au so they can be happy and safe

[endless-nightshift]

Look I know it's all funny hahahas and I love the funny hahas but I find posts joking about Jin Guangyao being okay with his incestuous marriage or as though he actively decided to seek it out a half siblings to marry, a little strange. I tilt my head at those jokes, raise an eyebrow even.

Cause I at least thought it was made pretty clear that he was horrified when he found out, the only reason he actually went through with the marriage was cause Qin Su was already pregnant and doing anything but following through would probably have ment absolutely destroying the life and reputation of a woman he very much cared about, and then never interacted with Qin Su in a romantic or sexual manner after finding out.
