So this is love?

[thepoisonroom]

honestly reaching the point where it just pisses me off so bad that so few people mask! and also less importantly that that's made it so much harder to make friends here!!!! like surely socializing outside of a bar will not kill you.....

Irondad fic ideas #154

CW: this one's pretty gruesome. read at your own risk 

Peter is a young child who's been kidnapped. His parents and/or his aunt and uncle were killed and he was taken. Along with a bunch of other little kids, he's been held captive and experimented on.

When the Avengers suddenly bust the kidnapping operation, the kidnappers try at the last second to destroy their research. They gas the small room where the kids are being held.

It's Iron Man who ends up blasting through. What he finds is horrifying. All but one of the children are dead.

The one who's left is just sitting among the bodies, crying, shocked, terrified. Iron Man carries him out of there, then once they're safe from the gas Tony steps out of the suit to comfort the kid while he's given oxygen.

Little 5-year-old Peter Parker imprints on his savior hard.

He just went through an unimaginable amount of trauma, then Iron Man burst through like an avenging angel. This is the first time he's ever felt protected in his memory. Tony holds the crying kid, and the kid can tolerate no one else near him.

This becomes a slight problem when they get back to base. But Tony can't find it in him to let SHIELD take the kid away, let them strip him of this one tiny bit of comfort. He keeps seeing all those other kids when he closes his eyes.

This one needs him right now. And if "right now" eventually becomes "this is my son," well. Who could've predicted that.

FRAME GAMERS i need your sage and wise counsel. i have talents. i have an artist's eye and can fly any frame you give me into the world serve centre.

What do you mean people don't share food?? I love Raven opening up Ghost to being adventurous when it comes to tasting things. Does she share food with the others? Price, Nik, Gaz? What about Ghost sharing food with them? XD

Yeah, more than you think! I don't think it's about selfishness (not for all cases at least). I think if you grow up in a certain way, food becomes a sort of security. When food become one of the few constant growing up, then it becomes more than just food, it would feel like you're taking something private to them if you're sharing food. Probably have something to do with control and comfort zone too, if you're poking your fork into a meal, it's like you're crossing a boundary.

Not everyone grew up with food sharing culture! I like to think Ghost is maybe one of these people who feels this way with food, if not I just think that Ghost is just Ghost, being blunt with his habits eating alone and stuff so when Raven offer her food he doesn't know what to do or react lmao

Yeah Raven shares her food freely, wouldn't hesitate to give a whole drumstick for a stray too, cuz she grew up starved, and food is comfort she would not hesitate to share

She would fight anyone who takes more than what she offers though

I don't think Ghost would get use to sharing food around, at least not as openly as Raven. Maybe he'll just casually drop a bag on Soap or like slide the plate over to Price with a single grunt and leave

also uggh sorry to rant here rq ( might delete later if my dumbass dont forget ) but tbh this has kinda been bouncing around my mind where I only restrict having oc art / lore / etc on this blog cus dude it's honestly really demotivating to just have it flop really badly on twt.

yas, ik likes / views shouldn't equal worth but I think you gotta understand that getting a fanart piece to 1.7k, and then posting artwork of ur oc and it barely breaking 100 is actually saddening cus it's like. damn. ( only exception seems to be meiro tho but i kiinda wish my other guys also got just as much love )

idk and honestly the most interest I've seen in my guys is on here ( there are some people on twt but most of it is literally just my friends ) maybe I'm being dramatic about this and this is like. dumb and i'm asking for too much out of randos in my computer screen but idk man

fuck my chud life

[ecrireverie]

Yeah that's it lol

[arrows-and-ace-thetics]

For anyone else who may need to hear this today:

You will find people in your life who exactly what you can give is enough

You are allowed to set boundaries, you are allowed to not give everything

Looking after yourself means you can give more in the long run

You are enough

But what about... The OC......

when I was a very impressionable, socially stunted and nerdy gay 14 year old, my high school drama club put on a production of dracula, and I had never read it. i was in the crew, and mostly just sat around the auditorium and watched them rehearse. all the main roles were played by a friend group who had incredibly fun to watch chemistry off stage. the Dracula was this very very VERY tall person with long hair who was in my chorus class and insisted on singing soprano from time to time despite naturally being a bass (... estrogen when, queen?). the Johnathan was this short Flynn-Rider-from-Rapunzel-looking twink who was (in my mind) fought after by women around him. the Jonathan and the Dracula intentionally made their interactions extra homoerotic (I overheard them talking to the English teacher director about it one day) and would spend off time at rehearsal trying to do the dirty dancing "time of my life" lift. because I was 14, I unironically shipped them. the Mina was so beautiful and had a face that, imo, would be cast in one of those terrible BBC/netflix period dramas now. she had been friends with the other two since before I started high school. because I was a polyamorous 14 year old, I also shipped the Jonathan with the Mina. i had a crush on the person who played Lucy in the cast since middle school, they were my age but so cool and likeable they melted into the older drama kid friend circle effortlessly. i had some interesting emotions about the scene where Lucy is covered in blood in a wedding dress. during the final cast and crew party, the Dracula threw a chocolate flower into the group and I caught it then proceeded to hold onto it for years after. then they all graduated, besides the Lucy. anyway, those are the versions of all the characters that live in my head when I read my Dracula daily.

Thinking about all the rumours about a potential P4 remake, my mind really has just kept wandering to things I'd want to see and, excluding the obvious stuff that people would expect from me (Yes, I do want a Yosuke romance, he's been one of my all-time favourite characters since I was 13), I think the main thing I want is just some of the scenes being able to fully lean into their tone and atmosphere thanks to higher quality models and animations. Especially since a big thing I enjoy about P4 is how calming and relaxing the setting is, and then how that contrasts to the overarching story.

And the thing that made me realise this is the scene where you can go into the TV to confront Adachi by yourself. Because it's a great scene, really unsettling... But then the vibe gets kinda dulled by the big goofy smile on Adachi's model. Then my mind just kinda wandered into how neat it would be to get a more cinematic take on that scene, especially since they could probably show more reactions from the protagonist as well.

I dunno, I just had an idea floating around my head for the past week or so and had to ramble somewhere.

One fun unintended consequence of having the shuffle rule every year for the BOTC World Cup is that it’s like a social reset on shuffle-and-go vs bag-building games.

I’ve seen it for at least the last two years, if not the last three — the world cup’s Shuffle-Then-Change-Up-To-Five rule forces a lot of games where you just let things happen, and even groups who aren’t actually playing World Cup games will use that rule quite a bit. And then we get wash back of that for at least a few months — lots of shuffle-and-go, even for non-TB scripts. And then slowly through the fall people start being really deliberate about trying to build bags with potential wild interactions (ie boffin-philo-cannibal-alchemist-wizard-level shit), which can be very fun, EXCEPT that when the wild thing doesn’t happen the game is often poorly balanced in other ways because the bag was built with this one edge case in mind.

And then the World Cup comes around, and people start randomizing more, and the cycle continues.

was wondering if I should vacuum before my friend comes over for dinner and was also having despairing thoughts about the state of my shower tile but then I remembered what HER bathroom looks like and well. I don’t need to be worrying about all that
