sfw hcs, the specialists.

summary: the specialists and sfw hcs!

warnings: fairy!reader and not fully proof read yet!

notes: i know winx probably doesn’t have much of a fandom on here but honestly this show gives me so much nostalgia so enjoy!

sky ✿

sky spoils you so much, he treats you like a princess, which is ironic considering he’s a prince.

to him, you’re his world, he’d never do anything to hurt you and he loves you so much.

sometimes, when the two of you are relaxing together, he lets you style his slightly long hair.

speaking of relaxing together, that’s one of his favourite dates, when the two of you just spend time at a cafe, getting a break from the chaotic fairy and specialist duties you usually deal with.

brandon ✿

you were one of the few people to first know that sky and brandon switched names. brandon wanted to be completely honest about the switch and you understood due to sky’s feelings about wanting to try a normal lifestyle.

literally the sweetest boyfriend ever, he treats you so good. he’s so gentle and loving with you, your heart melts every time you’re with him.

he doesn’t get jealous that often and neither do you, the two of you trust each other and have a relationship that’s really built on honesty and loyalty.

riven ✿

no one would’ve thought the two of you would get together, as riven has a high temper and you pretty much have no temper, always calm and relaxed. in fact, the only people that suspected something was going on with the two of you were bloom and sky, they always took notice of the flirty comments and subtle touches between the two of you. however, ever since you’ve announced your relationship with the hotheaded specialist, you’ve been extremely happy with him, and your friends started relaxing exactly how much sense the two of you make.

you’re a balanced couple that occasionally has rough patches, as riven can get really jealous and insecure, but you guys always make it out and your love grows even more. riven loves you and never wants to make you feel less than appreciated.

his favourite date with you consists of literally anything that involves you two being near each other, but he especially loves when you and him help your friends defeat the newest villain. he also loves when you cuddle with him, as he’s really just a softie deep down, constantly wanting to be touching you. he’s a huge fan of pda, unless you’re uncomfortable with it.

helia ✿

you and helia go together so well, no one was surprised when the two of you made your relationship official. your both calm and loving people, quickly becoming one of the best couples out of your friend group.

you love his hair so much. he just lets you run your fingers through his hair and style it into stupid little ponytails and buns, the man not even complaining about it, actually secretly enjoying it.

he’s literally the best boyfriend. he is always at your side when you need comfort and he gives you all his love.

timmy ✿

it took a while for timmy to build up the courage to ask you out, but once he did, you happily said yes.

the two of you are the definition of ‘opposites attract.’ you’re outgoing and a social butterfly, compared to timmy, who’s shy and doesn’t talk to many people aside from his friends.

he isn’t a big fan of pda, but behind closed doors, he’s always wanting to be close to you.

people on tumblr will literally post things like “you have to eat vegetables and expand your palate i dont care if you are a picky eater because of autism (if i can overcome it you can too)” and everybody will reblog it being like “yes this is true for everybody no matter what” and think its okay. like sorry but that wont work for everyone and there is no one size fits all and some people will never be able to eat these things no matter how hard they try. im only allowed by my doctors to eat recreationally and not for nutrition, because my ARFID is so severe that i get my nutrition solely from a specially made formula drink. your suggestions of “try vegetables roasted!” or “try them in soup!” and assurances of “i did it, you can too!” don’t work for those of us with more severe mental illnesses and disabilities. stop tying a person’s worth to their diet and stop assuming everybody has the ability to do what you can.

i think fandom spaces would become much more enjoyable across the board if people stopped flipping their pancakes over other fans enjoying characters that they don't like. or, god forbid, like them but in 'the wrong way.'

Remembered how much I love blue sargent. Then remembered how she had zero speaking parts in the epilogue chapter of tdt. Rage.

updating acquaintances on my health situation is just so awkward bc it's literally so bleak and there's no way to not make it sound bleak. hello person i dont talk to very often who heard through the grapevine that i am not well. thank you for checking in with me! so it's actually even worse than you imagined,

[sunlaire]

those Hut Point days would prove some of the happiest in my life. Just enough to eat and keep us warm, no more—no frills nor trimmings: there is many a worse and more elaborate life. The necessaries of civilization were luxuries to us: and as Priestley found under circumstances compared to which our life at Hut Point was a Sunday School treat, the luxuries of civilization satisfy only those wants which they themselves create.

those days he spent living in a hut with his friends were the happiest of his life. Cherry 😭

I am going to be a killjoy and choose violence again but I did not like the spectacle of Marie Antoinette holding her decapitated head in her arms in the olympics, at all. I don't give a shit about Marie Antoinette the person, she was a traitor in the context of a war and she would rather betray France than give away her privileges. This is what happens to traitors in that context and she absolutely had it coming. I won't shed one tear for her, sorry if that bothers people.

However. The executions of the Terror are not something to make a spectacle of, they are not something to mock. They were an inevitability, a historical necessity yes, but they are not an esthetic, nor a pop culture reference. They were inevitable, even necessary because of the revolutionary context, because it was the people of France who demanded those executions, and when I say the people of France I mean the working class, the peasants, the sans culottes, people who lived in extreme poverty and misery. This was not just a civil war, this was a class war. Centuries of class inequality, oppression, hunger, injustice, needed a release and that release was inevitable, but the factors that led to it, the structural inequality, the privilege, the injustice, they are still relevant today. Those people, the people of France, did not ask for the king and queen's head so that, two centuries later, the political and economical elites of this world can sit comfortably in the seat they paid hundreds or even thousands of euros for, and mock and have fun watching Antoinette's decapitated head in a spectacle that cost around 300 millions, the same political and economical elites that are right now funding genocides, that are right now maximising their profit off the Olympics, that are right now destroying the welfare system and impoverishing the people of France, who are unemployed, homeless, and stuck in ghettos. But it's alright I guess, because we have democracy now so these people can still watch the spectacle in their TV (if they have a TV) from their 9 square meter apartment in Sarcelles or Seine-Saint-Denis that takes 80% of their salary. If they have an apartment. They must feel really lucky they don't have a king or queen anymore and all their problems are solved. What a fine mockery. I don't think the Jacobins would be impressed with this turn of events, I don't think that's why the french revolution happened because the french revolution is not an esthetic and the social struggles that led to it are still here, very much present.

I would advise people to leave Antoinette's head alone because she's dead and has been dead for 250 years. There are a lot of heads that are far too comfortable in their class privilege, right now, in 2024.

"#...rafans who for the most part had. ahem #some strong opinions on juan carlos ferrero" oooh can you say more pls im curious

oh it's really just exactly what you think it would be, lmao.

idk if you were on tennis twitter during the peak big 4 era, but if you weren't the one thing you've got to know is that it's nothing like the cute little tennis tumblr community. on here we all love out faves and if we have players we don't like, we mostly keep it to ourselves.

meanwhile 2010s tennis twitter? was insanely tribal. it was a battle field where most fans of the big 3 thought of themselves as footsoldiers in the war effort of establishing their fave as the GOAT.

rafans, fedfans and nolefam have been on the warpath since forever. in the 2010s when roger was still at the peak of his powers some fedfans hated rafa so much i once saw one of them refer to him as "sewer slime". lots of fans are completely convinced all the other big players are dopers and only their personal favourite is clean, and that the other players are faking their injuries and only their personal favourite is really hurt, etc etc.

so of course when juanki took little jabs at rafa every once in a blue moon in interviews, how many hardcore rafans were saying "aw he's had a rough go at it with injuries for years, and rafa is a young upstart who came in and totally stole his spotlight, i can see how that could be upsetting, lets give the man a bit of grace"? uh. not a lot 😭😂

so my introduction to the man was basically only rafans making snide comments about him being jealous and a bad sport, because he was already retired for a couple of years when i joined twitter so i never got to saw him play live.

the strangest part of it all was that i distinctly remember a couple of rafa fans (i could probably count them on one hand though) who just... distrusted ferru by association? because if ferru was so close with someone who clearly didn't like rafa, then surely ferru himself had to bear a grudge against rafa and was just hiding it really well!!! they were constantly on the lookout for the most minor infraction, i got unfollowed by like 5 people over a completely harmless joke ferru made after the 2015 rio open final that people adamantly took out of context.

good times! everyone was completely off their rocker and i wouldn't have missed it for the world 😌

History PSA for writing: prior to at minimum the mid to VERY LATE 1800's most things were made, or at least finished, by hand! If you have a character inspecting furniture in... for example fantasy ancient china... or the english regency... or fucking pseudomedieval times... marveling that they wouldn't have guessed something was made by hand, you have fucked up as an author on the research front.

I got to fully interact with a patient yesterday!

She was an 18 month old with partial blindness and slow processing skills due to a drug overdose. I met her last week during a pediatric playroom appointment where I solely observed her but yesterday, I got to read to her and sing her favorite lullabies. She doesn’t talk but she was VERY vocal yesterday and even kept saying “hi” to me repeatedly, it was sooo cute!

She did start crying at some point which made me panic because I didn’t know what I was allowed to do to comfort her. But thankfully a nurse came in and told me that she wanted to be held, which was proven to be accurate after the nurse picked her up from her wagon and held her and then passed her to me. She REFUSED to let me put her down afterward, she would lean her head on my shoulder and play with my badge while occasionally looking up at me, say “hi”, and then put her head back on my shoulder.

I hadn’t held a baby in well over a decade so I wasn’t used to it and gods, my arms were getting tired but it was so worth it! Her story is so sad but she’s such a sweet girl who’s already faced so much adversity. I know that I’ll be seeing a lot more cases like hers or even worse once I get further into my child life specialist career. But for my very first patient, a completely adorable sweetheart, I’ll cherish these moments with her.

I hope she’s able to find a happy and loving foster family and maybe somehow remember or feel the care I gave her when she was a baby :)

I had the best rheumatologist as a kid then she fucking leaves so now I have some lady idek

Holy shit I thought I'd seen the worst and laziest gimmick blogs already. Congrats on setting the bar even lower.

@#$_&-+()/*"':;!?,.~`|•√π÷ק∆£¢€¥^°={}\%©®™✓[] get a fucking job

jokes on you asshole, i am in school most of the day and have multiple hours of homework every night. i just ride the bus for two hours to and from school and know how to use a queue

and you? do you understand how much work i put into this blog? how much i've learned about various punctuation so that i—with time i could easily use doing something else i might add—can tell people about things that i find interesting? i doubt it because you just have a hate filled heart from what i can see, picking on blogs that you find lazy because you can't even bother to dig.

i would have just left this in the inbox; but i really do feel like showing everyone what a fool you are. i mean, come back when you know all the brackets and dashes and have read at least one book about punctuation and then you can talk about who's the "laziest gimmick blog"

and no, i am not justifying that keyboard smash of an attempt to get more punctuation. if you want to talk about lazy bud? take a look inwards, perhaps.

[starlightbelle]

Don’t get me wrong, everyone is somebody’s fave and I’m glad for the people rooting for the underdogs/less popular characters that their fave made it but I find it kinda hard to believe that EVERYONE in Class A “made it” as a Pro.

Like, yes I know UA is the best hero school in Japan (certainly the most famous and revered) but that doesn’t mean the hero-success rate is a hundred percent

Nobody tried hero work for a while and then realized their passion/calling was elsewhere? No one got injured and had to take a step back? No one started a family? No one graduated but couldn’t keep up with the big leagues and eventually just settled for lower-level sidekick work or just quit heroing altogether?

With a dissolvement of the hero charts I might find it more believable but with the system left so intact as it is, the Pro Hero pool is more competitive than ever…

I get Horikoshi probably wanted to tie everything up with a nice little bow (was never gonna happen if the villains couldn’t be saved) but 20 (21 if you count Shinso) out of 20 becoming successful pros?? 🤨
