#like that man does not speak at all

[adashulaz]

Steb and Viktor meeting but Viktor can understand Steb's trilling. Steb is very much surprised by this and Viktor just continues on like it's normal. After all, Steb doesn't speak a dead language, sure the average person might not understand him but Viktor is a scientist so he has to know all sorts of languages. Steb is very much happy about this, he won't have to rely on sign for someone to understand him, however there is one slight problem. That problem being the fact that Steb just doesn't talk often, whether it's with his hands or his voice. Steb just doesn't use his words, he keeps to himself and doesn't feel the need to talk because Maddie does the talking for the both of them.

So Viktor knowing Stebs language doesn't really matter because Steb just doesn't talk. Which quickly becomes an issue because Viktor is used to having a response to his words, even if it was just a simple reaction, that was how Jayce was. Steb, however, doesn't respond in a way that Viktor is used to. Steb just stares, watching and waiting without giving any form of a response. To Viktor, it seems like Steb doesn't interact with the world around him much, at least that's how Viktor sees it for the longest time.

Viktor slowly starts to notice how Stebs ears will wiggle/twich whenever he's trying to figure something out or he's surprised by something, if something doesn't make a noise that only he could hear. Viktor also notices how Steb will give short and easy to miss facial reactions, they're barely noticeable at times and Viktor only noticed them because he was staring at Steb when Vi suddenly slipped. Viktor is used to larger reactions, not small ones, Jayce gave large reactions that were hard to miss while Steb gave small reactions that were easy to miss.

Steb can easily read Viktor because Steb is always watching and waiting. So it was much easier for Steb to understand Viktor and see his reactions and responses compared to Viktor with Steb. But luckily for them both, Viktor is a scientist and small reactions are part of his job. While their friendship is odd to outsiders, it works for them.

reading chainsaw man and trying to piece together theories makes me feel like an insane person. like no yeah totally pochita is actually the birth devil and reze is coming back and aki isn't actually dead and its all because of this one slight detail in the background and its all going to culminate in one big story about trauma. meanwhile no one has fucking mouths in the manga right now

[poppy-metal]

just thought of being scumbag patricks pretty little girlfriend and saying you love him mid-stroke and he groans, puts a hand over your mouth because you dont mean that shit - he's gonna pretend he didn't hear it, cause hes bad for you and you falling in love with him would be fucking awful for you both - doesn't stop him from fucking you deeper though, immediately after you say it. like the words have a lasso affect and his hips crash into yours, not parting this time, just grinding his cock inside - way more intimate than he usually allows. biting his palm, wrestling your mouth from under his palm in defiance like the brat you are so you can pant and whine another breathless "i love you - i love -" he fucks you harder until the words fade out into moans. acting like his balls aren't twitching to unload inside you the moment you said those words, like its just to shut you up, the desperate slam of his hips, and not like the confession means anything.

One of my biggest pet peeves is the assumption that something has to be sad for it to be tragic.

I've always been a big believer of the 'Apollo has an awful love life'/'Apollo is plain unlucky with love' line of thinking but it does bother me that the general reasoning for that statement is given to the concept of 'Apollo is somehow undesireable and thus rejected' (Cassandra/Daphne/Marpessa) or 'his lovers die young and thus their love is unfulfilled' (Cyparissus/Hyacinthus/Coronis). I personally think that's a very unfortunate way of looking at things - not only because it neglects the many perfectly cordial entanglements and affairs Apollo has had, both mortal and divine - but because it presents a very shallow interpretation of the concepts of love and loss and how loss affects people.

Apollo can still grieve lovers that have a long, healthy life. The inherent tragedy of an immortal who knows his lovers and children will die and cannot stop it does not stop being tragic simply because those lovers and children live long, fulfilled lives. The inherent tragedy of loss does not stop being tragic simply because someone knows better than to mourn something that was always going to end.

What is tragic is not that Apollo loves and loses but that loss itself follows him. Apollo does not love with the distance of an immortal, he does not have affairs and then leaves never to listen to their prayers again. He does not have offspring and then abandon them to their trials only to appear when it is time to lead them to their destinies. He raises his young, he protects the mothers of his children, he blesses the households that have his favour and multiplies their flocks that they may never go hungry. He educates his sons, he adorns his daughters and even in wrath he is quick to come to his senses and regret the punishments he doles out.

Apollo loves. And like mortals, there will always be some part of him that wishes to protect the objects of his affections. Apollo, however, is also an emissary of Fate. He knows that the fate of all mortal things is death. He knows that to love a mortal is to accept that eventually he will have to bury them. There is no illusion of forever, there is no fantasy where he fights against the nature of living things and shields his beloveds from death. Apollo loves and because of that love, he also accepts.

And that, while beautiful, is also tragic.

also okay. Leo voiding and Foolish going “that’s alright I’ll just wait. I can wait. I wait.” like yeah totem boy that’s all you ever do isn’t it. waiting loyally for Vegetta to come back, for his plans to find fruition, for islanders and federation workers alike to take him seriously, for Leo to return now, just like he waited for her before, keeping patience like none other. he’ll wait - that’s kinda his thing.

Does this mean there’s some TLC producer frothing at the mouth to get familiarAU Dipper on My Strange Addiction? Bc if I saw a dude was married to a killer rocket launcher robot my first thought would be “wow, he really should not have that.” But also my second thought would be “wow, that guy’s a real pervert”

You absolutely know there is! The hard part is getting Dipper to agree to show up.
