PLEASE DO NOT TAG AS YOUR OWN OC OR PAIRING.
Nathan and Ruben share a bond more powerful than most; mutual understanding through past experiences no one should ever have to go through, and through past actions so horrible they cannot be spoken of. Their grief and the blood on their hands binds them to the STEM technology they created, which has alienated them from the rest of the world— but they give each other the comfort they have both longed for so desperately for years, and that is all they need. They are each other's counterpart; you cannot imagine one without the other, like two sides of the same coin. Through their pain, their grief, their desire, and their regret, they have become one.

Deacon loves two things: Ymber and digging himself a grave.
Fulj hates one thing: Deacon.
#my characters#waiting on some info on the next commission so i indulged in ocs today bc i doubt i will have as much time for lil comics for a bit#deacon is so devoted hes like yeah i would kill for a deity that could easily kill anything himself but yknow teehee#and fulj just did you tell him you needed therapy also does he even know youd murder in his name#deacon caught red handed haha no of course i havent told him it should be obvious enough haha.... and its in his defense not his name :c#man really does have some issues but i love him so much and hes so devoted but like. unhealthily after a while#he does in fact need a chill pill and therapy but to be fair#ymber has needed therapy for centuries and yet he just bottles it all up and suffers so#its pretty unhealthy until they yell at each other one (1) time bc they are so insecure about things and get mad over very valid reasons#but then theyre like you know what that was necessary and i still want to stay by your side if you let me#and then fulj is like dude hey sorry you seem really happy did you fu- and ymber is like no please stop there we have not#fulj just squinting cause have not is very different than will not but whatever she doesnt wanna think about that with deacon involved ew#and eventually fulj is like hey ymber im sorry to say but i really do hate deacon and i dont even know why but he makes me uncomfortable#while deacon is just. in the room. hearing this and thinking how he knows she thinks hes weird but wow that wording hurts#and ymber doesnt wanna fill in memories better forgotten by fulj which she had forcefully removed#so he just says oh well his hair and clothing are black and you had someone in the past that you might see in him and its not a pleasant en#so you know maybe its that idk#and fulj is then WHATST i was rude to him for someone i cant even remember? lame im gonna try SO HARD to be nice to him now#and deacon just still sitting there with some food like this is v awkward and i wish i could not be here for it#and later he asks ymber about who he resembled and as ymber is descibing her it clicks in deacons head and he gets really sad#that he might somehow remind fulj of the woman she loved before she was punished for loving a mortal#and he feels kinda bad pestering her so much with his curiosities about deities and he kinda gets it#the fact hes close to ymber might remind her at the core that she was once that close with a mortal if not closer#anyway story time in the tags again#im so obsessed with these peeps and i have made them suffer so much but they do all end on a happy note#its still funny and nice to me that while fulj is creeped out by deacon and doesnt like talking to him#he still expresses the most emotions to her - he tries hard to remain serious around ymber and collected and obedient at all times#and when out and about with ymber he has to be intimidating and refuses smiling but fulj?? all sunshine and smiles and emotions easy to rea#and she is just that is so weird go away i hate you

astarion x inexperienced tav who's prone to overthinking
after defeating the netherbrain and leaving most of the chaos behind, they could finally focus on the journey that awaited them—without the world’s fate depending on their choices.
astarion took his time getting to know her the way he couldn’t before. he would ask her to play with herself, so as to memorize all the places she liked to be touched.
he'd watch mal, naked, sprawled on the bed for him, back resting comfortably against the headboard, legs bent at the knees as her fingers roamed freely, touching and rubbing the places that yearned to be caressed. despite all his experience and restraint, he'd soon find himself itching to join her, teetering on the edge of just going for it—taking in the visuals and all they did for him. how uncomfortable his cock felt inside his pants, how deep was the desire to relieve the pressure. all only matched by the urge to pounce on her—to feel the slick warmth against his length.
astarion would sit there and think about the way he could stroke her glistening folds with his tip, make her whimper, and when she couldn't deny how desperate she was for him, only then he would reward her. but before he could go any further with those thoughts, he'd notice her getting frustrated, unsure of what to do with herself, brows furrowed as maleane desperately chased the feelings of pleasure and release, now both fleeting. the vampire spawn would watch her expression for a while, trying to determine what was wrong from the changes in her face.
maleane would look back at him, as if searching for help and he'd soon step in, as always, kissing her, moving his hands to her breasts, her waist, until one found its way between her legs to tangle alongside her own fingers. and yet, when he'd move his lips away he would catch a glimpse of worry in her eyes. mal's frustrations would bubble to the surface. because pleasing herself was hard and it didn't feel as good as she'd wanted to. because she was overthinking everything, the thread was slipping, and soon the frantic thoughts would take her completely out of it. the sorcerer wouldn't want to be touched at all.
they’d try again, of course. another time, with more help from astarion—his voice, his instructions—to touch herself. he'd tell mal what he saw, how delicious she looked, how she was turning him on, how he wanted to touch her. he'd confess every single thing he'd like to do to her, how he wanted to explore her body, how he wanted to give her pleasure. how badly he wanted to hear her sing his name.
and through it all, he would see her getting closer, with eyes shut, fingers moving and voice breaking. mal would get lost in the picture he’d painted for her, and he too would see colors he had never noticed before. the little gasps of pleasure were all the encouragement he’d need to begin stroking himself. but he would nonetheless continue, albeit in a breathier tone. maleane would hear every detail on how he’d give anything to taste her, to have her, to indulge in her. and before he could even begin to name all the perverted things he'd make her try, she'd be unfurling in front of him—toes curled, muscles tensed, fingers sore—finally orgasming before him.
#baldur's gate 3#the bg3 adventures#astarion#astarion ancunin#astarion x tav#astarion romance#oc: maleane#maleane/astarion#nsft#gods mal's a bit of a puzzle i'm not gonna lie#but as much as i'd like for her to be this sex god taking massive dicks left and right no problemo she's uh.. not#and i love to pepper problems on these two it makes them DELICIOUS#and if mal's getting all frustrated and angy because she's all ??? idk what's nice and feels good and makes me come ??#imagine how it would affect the resident sexy vampire to be unable to please her ?? ? ? ? mhm yes now we're cooking#sometimes it's the kinks that work but sometimes you just need therapy lmao#i'm hornyposting on main again moots that know me irl look away dfgdfgf

i know if orin had someone who fully loved and accepted her, she would've had a worse religious crisis than durge ever did with gortash
#i think durge before they met gortash were consumed by fulfilling bhaal's vision#but orin? she did all of this for her grandfather. for the only person she loved. for the person she considered her inspiration.#orin was starved for affection. for a genuine connection. for a family. she thought bhaal gave her that.#how sweet and cruel couldve been to know all the love you thought you were given was just cruelty after being shown how it truly feels like#ik if she had someone who accepted and loved her fully she would've had the worst religious guilt in history. worse than durge by far#i need to create an oc who fixes her idc how ooc it is. she needs therapy and my oc will give her that and unconditional love <3#i wish i could write a fic where orin is going to kill a noble lady but she thinks she's too pretty to kill her so fast and she starts#stalking her by changing her form and preparing the kill. but the closer she is to her the more she is focussing on her instead of murderin#and she wants to kill her so badly. she thinks it will be the most beautiful death. but she also doesn't wanna lose her. and it breaks her#she wants so desperately to kill her so she remembers Father again. but she is unable to. her hands falter for the first time in her life#anyways can somebody please write this fic ty#orin the red#blanca.txt

there’s a progression in there, somewhere, of even going from ‘the master might kill me any day now :(‘ to ‘the master is going to kill me :) she’s not going to let someone else do it after all this time’
#i wouldn’t call it hubris exactly. more like this pretty secure surity that that’s how they’re going to die.#and to them that makes sense. they chose this. they keep choosing it after the doctor offers them a way out.#because this is. they understand this. and they feel safe in the reprieve before their death.#how do you control death? choose who kills you. the last defense of a prey animal.#something something dark mirror to clara’s ‘i am owed’ speech for even is if this ever. doesn’t work out the way they thought it would.#clara tried to threaten the doctor so that he’d reverse death for her. even would turn on the master if she tried to spare them.#i am owed better. i am owed the death you promised… i am owed the knowledge that you don’t care enough to save me… you know. something like#that.#even is. kind of. meant to mirror the doctor’s companions at the time. they are a martha who can’t leave him. they are a donna who has to#remember and never speak about everything they know. they are clara if during deep breath clara reached back and truly didn’t expect. truly#hoped. that no one would take her hand. because if they can be certain it will happen they can know never to reach again.#jesus christ. go to therapy boy. you have so many trust issues.#but that’s why they’re Like That with the master because at the end of the day. who is easier to rely on? the guy who comes in to put out#fires but only sometimes. or the guy who. really really fucking likes starting fires.#better to get burned hoping someone is coming or get burned knowing that’s what would happen. and even. chooses the latter.#AND ALL OF THIS. for me to say thats why i cant actually let the master ever kill them.#i think she needs to do something worse to even. i think she needs to abandon them.#and that will either set them free to go have healthy normal relationships or. lets be honest much more likely. completely fucking break#them. which would be fun :) for me.#dw oc

#my art#osiris gaumond#dnd oc#yeahhh. yeah#very extremely personal stuff incoming brace yourselves#yesterday was the anniversary of the event that 'inspired' me to make osiris as a coping mechanism#will not go more in depth bc this is not therapy lmao but if you know anything about him or about me (recent history) you probably know#i am so incredibly proud of how far ive come since it happened#but when it was fresh i absolutely was not okay in the slightest i was completely torn apart#and right exactly when i needed it my friend created a campaign and asked me to join#so i made osiris :)#i didn't actually initially intend for him to be a metaphor/coping mechanism/therapy character at all#and i didnt realize how he was until months later fhjsdkfjksd#so he holds a special place in my heart because of that#and i will forever be grateful to that friend for starting that campaign and the other friends that are in that campaign with me#even if they dont know they're helping me process trauma gfdhjkdfjkhgfd#ok silly personal stuff over back to shitposting#FUCK I JUST REALIZED HIS EYES ARE FUCKING BACKWARDS#HIS LEFT EYE IS WHITE HIS RIGHT IS GREEN NOOOOO#CANT BELIEVE I DID THIS TO MY BOY ON HIS BIRTHDAY#uhhh lets pretend it was intentional and has Meaning

I have spent too much brain power today on having an existential crisis about writing (again). partially that I'm exhausting a topic no one cares to discuss/a topic that has been exhausted and beaten to death (perhaps, but I don't mind when other people do that thing). also that I'm trying to allow myself to write small things with the micro prompts but then it's hard to convey what I want in few words. and then of course that I don't have the skill to convey what I want
#I am a nervous wreck today - first day back to the office#the only thing holding me together was a comm sketch (ty saif if you're seeing this - you held my brain together without knowing)#I am working on some other things in therapy and it's going well but I wish I could work on this faster#I wanna write! I wanna share! If I could bounce OC ideas off of other people I could make a lot of progress#but I'm so scared; I'm so anxious; I'm terrified people will hate me for something I say#yknow in hindsight it's funny that I was always like 'I didn't have a traumatic childhood'#as I sit here now and write a bullshit rambling post about how I can't write anything because I'm scared of people#viper pls

A WIP of a comic thingy I’m workin on cus I’m impatient. Sometimes you have an OC who’s specifically there to be inserted into universes where Your Blorbo Needs A Therapist. Doc Laanka’s got her work cut out for her with these two…
… kinda.
#my wips#I rly should just be writing fics at this point AHDVSH it’d be easier as far as these conversation heavy scenes go in my head#but also: what if I made my hand hurt by drawing everything individually#laanka again is kinda my universal therapist OC. in whatever universe I put her in she acts as a therapeutic outlet.#in general she’s pretty brain-focused in her studies. she’s usually some kinda neurologist on top of doing psychotherapy.#in ASO her job is primarily psychotherapy but she researches cerebroslugs in her available time. usually oversees individual research teams#she also doesn’t think of them as parasites and is more sympathetic to their existence. a lot of her clients are host&slug who want to-#-explore coexisting together.#which in my head is kinda how Norman and Skip get in contact with her. Norman reads about her and is like ‘oh I’ll shoot her an email’-#-and Skip decides No He Wants To Send The Email so skip just sends laanka an email that just says ‘therapy’. no grammar no punctuation-#-no context. and Norman nearly dies on the spot of embarrassment. Laanka gets back to them within the hour and she’s seen cerebroslug-#-emails before. she knows that’s probably what she’s dealing with. sends back an email like ‘hi anonymous :) yes I do offer therapy.#would you like me to send you some available times I have coming up? would love to know your name as well! - Dr. Laanka Noelle’#Norman decides that he’s gonna send the emails from now on Thank You Skip. Thanks bud HWBDHDH#anyway. I’ll get this done… eventually. I just think my man(s) could use therapy LMAO

Since I've been looking at my old fandoms, I've been thinking of writing a fic for fun.
It's a combination of the Riordan-verse, Legendborn, Ennead, and Mercenary Enrollment.
The idea is for 000 - my original character - to help bring down the entire operation of the Camp from the inside (this wouldn't really be the focus though) and come out of Grian and stay with Ijin until Lieutenat Hamchang find their family.
Turns out that their parents were in Africa, but they died in a car accident in America when visiting a family friend.
However, the family friend's husband is still alive and he takes them in. They slowly get to know him and tell him their name is Zuko. One day, he asks them to protect his daughter.
Cue 000 going to school with Bree Matthews post-Bloodmarked and basically being Ijin 2.0 lol. Eentually, 000 wakes up with strange nightmares of their ancestor, who turns out to be Hatshepsut -and getting a quest from Anubis and Ophois (my Ennead original character) to find their father to punish him for giving away his scythe.
Cue her meeting the Kanes and travelling alongside Bree to find the guy - only for it to turn out that Osiris had the scythe all along. Cue a whole rescue scenario where 000 becomes Set's host. Set helps her learn her real name.
Cue a bunch of shenanigans with the two where they then try to get Set a body while going through therapy.
Like, I don't know if this is a stupid or brilliant idea.
#legendborn#bloodmarked#tracy deonn#mercenary enrollment#teenage mercenary#riordanverse#ennead#fandom ocs#basically bree gets someone who will throw hands down and humiliate racist ppl#and scold selwyn while semi-adopting him#someone doesn't acknowledge bree as king#and suddenly Bree has the Numbereds following her around#She doesn't get why they call Zuko boss#but she isn't questioning it#Bree complaining about how Vera and Arthur used to try to force her to bend to their will : - and I feel like I should help them and be who#they need but I need to avenge them - or I feel I need to - you know?#000 who's been arguing with set in their head for the past 6 hours that no they don't need therapy and they should get spicy poutine : mhm

@red-hemlock asked: "I don’t need your pity." (For the Dealing With Trauma starters if you're still accepting them! =D 'Cuz yay Arkham threads, and Riv just loves talking about her lye scars lol. Also HI I LOVE YOUR OC. <3)
a patient's opposition is not necessarily automatically personal. this is a stance that misao had come up with herself and yet, a flare of annoyance almost managed to rise to the surface within her in response to the other's comment. she had honestly been having a long day so far — the warden of arkham had pretty much demanded that she fit in at least three more patients than she usually would into her schedule, after all. and although she wanted to believe that all of this wasn't draining her... it truthfully kind of was. so, after misao heard river reject her sympathy for her, a shallow breath left her mouth before she could stop it as she rearranged the position of her legs. no longer were they taking part in the ' open ' body language that misao usually tried to display in front of patients. they were crossed now instead, while she silently evaluated river from where she sat.
whatever she was going to do now, misao knew that she couldn't allow herself to vent to the other in any way, since that'd be grossly unprofessional. and she wanted to be known as a good psychiatrist; because that did mean that patients would continue to be sent to her, then subsequently (sometimes) be eaten by her, which is a cycle that she needed to keep going to live as they were her primary food source now. though she still wasn't a perfect one by any stretch as her own personal biases were running through her head right now and she had to take a step back to return back to being neutral towards river. misao tapped her fingers along the chair she sat on for a moment, before she finally spoke, head tilting faintly to the right.
❝ mm. well... i sincerely regret if i have upset you, river. that was not my intention at all when i said i'm sorry you had to suffer through that. whenever you say you don't need it, is it because you think that i am viewing you in a negative light? because i assure you that that is certainly not the case, ❞ she stated this plainly and with confidence in her voice. misao truly didn't look down at people with scars, not only because she had a few of her own, but because she'd grown up in an environment where they were viewed as signs that you had survived something. thus... she believed that you shouldn't have to hide them, especially given the fact that doing so often resulted in more negative thoughts being produced by someone than before, that usually had a close correlation to depression and anxiety. but misao supposed that maybe river saw her pity towards the unfortunate circumstances that caused them to be inflicted upon her as her believing that she was somehow more superior than river herself.
she didn't know for sure, though, which is exactly why she thought to ask river more about it the next time she had the chance. ❝ i don't think that i am better than anyone here, river, if that has something to do with it? i understand how it may not seem like this but feeling pity for someone helps us to be empathetic towards others because it is an emotion. and thus, it can break us out of our current mindset, then allow us to attune to the thoughts and feelings of another person. i'm not doing it to be malicious towards you in any way. though i do have a question regarding your attitude towards it, if you'd be so king as to answer it — do you not like receiving pity just from me personally or from others altogether? you can be honest with me, as i promise you that my skin is a lot thicker than it looks. ❞
that much she was certain of, misao thought, while she wrote something down on her notepad before turning her attention back to river. ❛ riversong has expressed disapproval towards the concept of pity during my first session with her. i intend to proceed by gently steering the conversation to figuring out why. ❜ misao gave her a blink-and-you'll-miss-it smile then to try to ease the tension in the room. if river outright told her about it now, then that was good with her, but it would also be okay if they had to circle back to it. it was true that they still had quite some time left in their session.
#heyyy!! of course i'm still accepting them ((: i always accept starters no matter how old they may be haha#but you lowkey are so valid for saying ' yay arkham threads ' tbh though i KNOW the place is super corrupt jsjsj it is just an interesting-#setting to me personally you know? and you could get a really in depth look at your characters using it BUT ahh... i feel so bad for-#her after hearing she has lye scars ): because the pain she must've been in before getting them must've been no joke. but thank you so much#for the compliment my friend. it REALLY means a lot to me that you not just like but love misao 🥹 and i just wanted to say-#that i assure you that the feeling is definitely mutual!!! river honestly seems like such an awesome oc TBH and i can tell you put a lottt-#of work into her 💕#buttt yeah i hoped you liked my response to this and everything as i really tried my best to blend misao demonstrating behaviors that are-#not usually recommended in psychotherapy settings for lack of better words and misao maybe actually being a decent doctor?? so yeah#i also hope that this reply gave off those vibes as well LOL#tw: therapy.#tw: scars.#red-hemlock

I think even if Micah personally doesn't like when things are too focused on romance, the reason he enjoys Amelia's company so much is because he admires the way she understands what makes people click with each other and their personal mannerisms
#and also because it pisses Tristán off#i see Mel as someone very observant capable of piecing together what others are feeling and knows to act accordingly#and micah isnt very good at social cues or understanding others. so noticing things beyond that seems so incredible to her#Mel is the npc you can ask for advice on how to deepen your bond with other characters and the current relationship status of everyone#ah sorry the reason i mention romance is because Mel does Couple Therapy and also is a very big fan of romantic stuf#shes always reading romance novels or watching movies. she loves playing matchmaker#which is the reason LI brought micah to her (to get tips for his romance novel)#i think Mel is the closest to a Best Friend Micah has. shes still LIs friend first tho. but shes still very important to micah#i havent decided what Mel feels about Micah yet#i think she enjoys talking to them but i dont think they like the way they treat LI. even if she knows micah cares about them#its kinda onesided i think#they r still good friends though!!!#amelia (oc)#micah (oc)

I love the "glasses are disability" thing because it applies to basically every complaint abled people have about disability
"You're not even that bad, why would you get that?" Have you ever used a magnifying glass for small details or zoomed in on a picture
"Why do you have that accommodation TODAY?" Why do you wear reading glasses when you're reading
"It seems like your 'needs' are inconsistent." Yeah and you wear sunglasses when it's sunny and not all the time
"But you can technically walk without that." Yeah and if I put the page really close to your face you could read it, it would just hurt and be hugely impractical, inconvenient, and limiting
"But you COULD go without it all the time, you don't NEED it to live." And maybe you could technically see without your glasses, doesn't mean it's comfortable or practical day to day
"If you REALLY had a hard time seeing you would have glasses." Have you ever known someone who couldn't afford a new pair of glasses? Or eye appointments? Someone who needed vision therapy or special prism glasses? Someone whose vision only gets bad during migraines or seizures? Someone with astigmatism that glasses can't help? Someone who didn't qualify for LASIK?
"You only use it when you're out in public." Have you ever gotten up to use the bathroom at night without putting on your glasses
"Decorating it is just trying to get attention, and it's a medical device so stop glamorizing it." Do you hate any patterned or colorful glasses frames too? Art with characters who wear glasses? People who make OCs with glasses? Glasses chains, prescription sunglasses, aesthetic fake glasses with tinted lenses?
"There are secretly lots of people just using aids for fun and attention." There are secretly lots of people wearing fake glasses or colored contacts for fun and attention, it does not affect you
"We need to find fakers, they're stealing disabled resources!" Someone pretending to need glasses is "taking" a seat in the front from someone who might need it more. That sucks and they shouldn't do that. But I'm not going to scrutinize every person who wears glasses to see if I think they really need that seat. You personally are not the arbiter of who is (based on the random times you've seen them) secretly not disabled
"My friend has that and doesn't act like that." Does every pair of glasses in production, or even every pair close to your prescription, work for you? Is your vision identical to every other nearsighted person?
"If you can do X why can't you do Y? Some people with that can do Y."/"But if you have that how can you do X? People with that can't usually do X." Some people are nearsighted and some people are farsighted and some people are both. Some farsighted people can read some without glasses and some can't. And good distance vision doesn't mean you don't ever need glasses, it's just an entirely different reason you'd need glasses
"You're too young to need that." And there are young people who need bifocal lenses
"Why don't you use this DIFFERENT aid though, it would look like you didn't even have an aid." Why doesn't everyone in the world wear contacts
"Why can't I/my friend/my kid play with it?" Do you let random strangers and children try on your glasses at the grocery store
"I was just trying to help, I thought you'd need a push/you were in the way." Are you cool with me suddenly pulling your glasses off your face to clean them, or because the glare was distracting me
"You'll eventually stop using it though right?" Are you planning on no longer needing glasses someday
Disabled people are free to add
I am aware this is not a 1-to-1 perfectly accurate post. Do not come into the notes trying to "um actually this isn't a perfect comparison." I know. Just don't

yet another 30 Rock joke: Zae and Bobby have broken up (yet again), Tina and/or Verda say good riddance, and Zae says “oh don’t say that, you know, he had some good moments”
and then it’s a montage of all the times Bobby got food
#TWC tag#OTP: Better Than You#OC: Zae Benenati#their dumpster fire on/off relationship entertains me#Bobby shaking the Detective in the middle of the night with a smirk and a ''hey... you wanna... you wanna order cheese steaks?''#my private eye and their unfortunate taste in partners. at least Mason is actually a good choice whew#I actually have quite a few thoughts about Zae and Bobby's on/off relationship but I just make silly posts instead.#but smth smth ''Zae's always struggled with loneliness and thinks that love is the cure for problems'' (in spite of a psych major...)#and they end up in lousy relationships bc it's how they cope w their issues. that is to say: they're bad at coping.#they need therapy but they're ashamed to admit they need help so they don't#and there's so much loneliness from their family life that it's led to these unstable relationships as an adult#as far as their TWC self goes: they date frequently (prior to UB rolling into town) but Bobby is their one biggest constant ~love~ interest#it's all that history together and how much they see each other?? Zae knows he's a bad idea and that they don't work together#but they also DON'T acknowledge it. he's familiar and there's some real feelings there and there's hope that this time they'll work out#a bad habit they just can't drop and some part of them doesn't want to bc they still care#Bobby's a trash fave bc they're undeniably awful lol but I still find them and their thought process + feelings for MC interesting#I think they do genuinely have feelings for MC (if they're an ex at least; maybe also as a former friend) but their ambition and selfishness#are what win out each time#okay bye.
