dev gets introspective

Seeing all of the end of the year posts and the accolades being praised. And I wanted to put in my two little cents as well:

I moved away from a life that was suffocating me at the beginning of the year. I had been forced back to CA and my family house (of 8 people) due to the pandemic. And it took me three years to recover enough to move back out on my own and back to a city I had fallen in love with and created a life in. I worked my ass off for two years at two full time jobs, while taking care of both younger and older family members alongside online classes.

I didn't know who I was if I wasn't at work or being useful or busy and it takes a toll on people. Little joys and hobbies and shows fell to the side and I slept when I had any amount of free time. I hung out with friends, yes, but not nearly enough to sustain that part of myself.

I struggled when I moved back here to TN, on my own after three years of a crowded house and endless responsibilities and tasks. I felt lost like I did back when I first moved here at 18, not knowing who I was or what brought me peace.

Back in February, after a letdown of a birthday, I decided to watch TLOU. I had been a fan of the game, but as with a lot of things from my early teens / early twenties it got lost or forgotten in the fog of depression. It invigorated me, this fandom here on tumblr. And I will forever be grateful for playing any small part in it. I'm not new to fandom life, with One Piece and ATLA, Supernatural later on, fic a common use of free time and only dabbles in writing beforehand.

This year I flourished in a way I hadn't expected to. Writing has given me a sense of who I am and what I am capable of that I had lost. I'm glad to have found it with y'all here in this little corner of the internet. And while sometimes there is negative stuff and discourse occurs, I am grateful for the sense of comfortability I have found here after feeling untethered for so long.

I'm thankful to have found a job, after what seems like enduring terrible ones all throughout the year, that allows me enough free time to enjoy my evenings, to spend my time writing and creating and reading with you all here on this godforsaken website (affectionately). Is it silly, yeah, but it brings so much to my life.

Thank you, for all the bad and stress and heartbreak of this year, I am thankful for the space curated here for people to enjoy. ♡♡♡

Date night is going well

[stillgotscars]

thinking at length about how taylor went from writing “i’m the best thing at this party” because her former partner made her feel otherwise to her current partner throwing her a surprise party to commemorate the end of her record-breaking tour… “these hands had to let it go free and it changed the prophecy” indeed

Happy Dragon Age Day!

Forever grateful that I got to experience the stories of Dragon Age over the years.

Thank you for the eternal inspiration and thank you for making Thedas my home too 💜💙 Adding some in game screenies of my dear crows under the cut, as a treat, for myself~

They are so very dear to me

Phil is SO unbelievably fond of Dan and you can just tell from the way he photographs him that he is endeared AF with Dan’s entire existence and yeah he can say Dan gives him the ick everyday but I bet he also makes Phil’s heart go WOOSH everyday too.

It reminds me of the pre show answer a couple of days ago when Phil is describing what Dan is doing on stage before the show. How often is Phil just LOCKED IN on Dan 😭

jing yuan, who loves when you’re wearing his clothes, and you return them to him. it’s so domestic and simple but he craves it. (gn reader, not a serious drabble.) reader is characterized as smaller than jy, interpret as you wish.

wc: 470

The clothes smell like you, of course. The laundry detergent you bought, your shampoo and the little scent beads you like to put in the washing machine. He doesn’t mind the musk that lingers on his old shirts after you clean the whole house, no of course not. Jing Yuan adores smelling your musk, lotion and conditioner melding together and melting into his shirt.

You go out to buy new scent beads every other month, a tiny little jar of them. Jing Yuan swears to anyone who listens that you’re doing this on purpose. Mixing your shampoo and lotion to match with the scent beads, changing the fabric softener to mess with his head (and laundry). He laments this to Fu Xuan, Qingzu, and Yanqing, who all beg you to stick to one routine before the General loses his sanity (of course, everyone groans and ignores him. they’ve had enough of his marital escapades, and they just tell him to marry you again if he’s this smitten. Thus, after a decade of marriage, Jing Yuan has rewritten his vows.) He likes these little variances in his routine, the little harmless surprise that keeps him on his toes.

(He swears it's just because you picked it out. You know it's because it reminds him that there's finally a home for him to return to.)

"I'm back, do you know what the others said during the meeting, they were planning on handing off more paperwork, but I insisted mimi and you would--" He stops in his tracks. This must be unfair. Divine Punishment? Did he anger Lan? his ancestors?

Jing Yuan sees you wearing nothing but some socks, his shorts and t-shirt (both of which hang off of your smaller frame). He runs over, pace quickening.

You yelp quietly, backing away before he pounces onto you, bearing all of his weight onto you. He can't help it, you're so cute wearing his outfit, doing laundry and making dinner.

“You smell so good.” he buries his face into your neck, inhaling the sun on your skin, lotion he bought for you, and the conditioner you've taken from his stash.

“And you smell icky.” You push him off gently, but his arms only tighten. He just got back from work, and he reeks of sweat. But you can’t ignore how your heart races whenever he gets up to these antics, and you can’t help but indulge in his whims. 

This is a regular habit. He barely removes his armor before running to you, and clings to you like a sullen child, asking about dinner and how his darling and mimi have been. You can only sigh and pat his head while he recharges in your lap (or, in Yanqing’s words: naps.) 

"thank you, for everything," He whispers into your ear, "You're doing great, sweetheart."

a/n: I was talking to a coworker abt how the only thing that brings me joy now is a 2d man (jy) and buying new scent beads/laundry scent boosters or sample perfume. then I had this idea. also that ending bit :,) sending good vibes to all with my first fic of the new yr!

you're all mine

[bubblegumships]

Imagine laying on your f/o’s chest, whether you’re in need of comfort or you just craved their comforting touch, they’re gently running their fingers through your hair while you listen to their heartbeat. You feel safe and loved, just like how they want you to feel as you let your eyes flutter closed and you doze off in each others arms, whatever was worrying you previously has washed away.

tell ren to turn his location on👉👈

I saw one of the posts of how ren does get jealous of pets being loved over him and alll that so now I have the thought of the one meme of ‘ah yes, me, my partner and their [enter normal pet size] foot [pet]’

I don’t have anything else, it did pop into my head though and I thought I’d share with the class.

⌞♥⌝ ItsNotVivy on Twitter actually made that exact meme with Ren a looong time ago!!

i firmly believe that rin's the type of boyfriend who loves to kiss your hand ... he loves wrapping his slightly cold and callused hand around soft and warm ones, while you tell the café cashier both of your orders.

he loves interlocking your fingers together and rubbing small circles, sometimes hearts, on the top of your thumb as the two of you walk around the park.

he loves to kiss your knuckles everytime he senses that you feel nervous in public. it's his way of calming you down and telling you that you're not alone and that he's here beside you while he looks at you with the softest and loving eyes.

he loves to interlock your pinkies together as he waits for you to wake up, admiring how the sunlight perfectly hits your features, making you look breathtaking.

he loves taking your hand and giving your ring finger a soft peck, a quiet promise that someday he'll buy the prettiest ring there is and put it on your finger, indicating that he's yours and you're his.

5 years ago today, The Mandalorian premiered on Disney+.

It’s really hard for me to wrap my head around this anniversary because it really does feel like yesterday. I’ll be the first to admit that I was excited for this series the day it premiered, and even before then, but I didn’t expect it to resonate with me as much as it has. I’ll always love this series and Din Djarin—it’s a part of me forever, now, and I’m proud to say that.

Happy 5 years everyone 🩶 here’s to the story’s next phase on the big screen in 2026!

I am seeing less people talking even though the situation is more dire than ever. I know we are all tired. It is understandable.

Keep it up though. Put your frustration and pain into work and use it. Turn to your family and friends and support each other through it.
