i'm a main characters enjoyer. but i also love a good villain (charismatic, sympathetic or just compelling). but nothing, nothing tugs at my heartstrings more than "morally grey second-in-command and leader of their elite group who could very well change sides if they weren't so blinded by loyalty"

Local therapist... wait you don't have a license.

Crewel: Yuu, you understand that your level of emotional intelligence is hard to find in puppies at NRC, right?

Yuu: Unfortunately.

Trein: And you know firsthand what happens to a person when they bottle up negative feelings to the point of overflowing, magic or not, right?

Yuu saluting: Yessir.

Sam, clenching their shoulders: So you know you can tell a reliable adult any time if something is wrong, right?

Yuu, with the brightest, most innocent smile: Nuh uh.

“Amity and Hunter maul each other” listen to me carefully we were all FOOLS. Luz and Hunter maul each other on the living room floor and yes biting IS on the table. Amity and Hunter are competitive rivals who are extremely sassy and petty when they talk shit. They are the only people in the entire family who can say the most SCATHING out of pocket things to each other and take it as friendly banter.

Make no mistake, sometimes it would result in a brawl, but these two are such near-mirrors of each other that it’s never serious and they think they’re hilarious. "How’s the divorce?” “Horrendous. How’s the face?” is a greeting they’ll have at like 8 in the morning and give everyone instantaneous cardiac arrest

I normally don’t make posts about the TGS updates, but omfg this week’s page f💕king destroyed me and I’m scared of what will happen on the next pages.

Hi Sage! I’m here to save my mental health through raindrop therapy. let’s go on that tangent.

I think Rain would definitely sneak up behind him after his brisk walk from one building to the next, shove his hands under Dew’s shirt. He wore gloves of course but it makes no difference. Rain is basically frozen solid from November to April.

Dew squawks at first because he just woke up,and this assault is clearly premeditated. Rain knows how to creep up on him silently and slide his hands underneath Dew’s bulky layers.

Rain hums with delight as Dew kicks up some additional heat to combat the frozen fish sticks Rain calls fingers digging into his ribs.

Rain hooks his chin over Dew’s shoulder and listens to him grumble with a smile on his face. His front half already feels somewhat defrosted.

His hands slide up a little further, he shoves his fingers right underneath Dew’s armpits because it’s probably the fourth warmest spot on his body.

Dew tries to clamp his arms down because he just woke up, he’s a sweaty mess thanks to the several layers of blankets Rain requires along with a roaring fire in the hearth.

But Rain is stronger than him, even if in will only.

He huffs in Dew’s ear as his fingers glide through the slippery skin under his arms. He shuffles a little closer, and even through the thick layer of denim Dew can immediately tell just how Rain feels about it.

“You like this don’t you?”

“Mmm.” Rain responds. Dew’s tone is that of interest, not judgement.

Rain pumps his fingers back and forth a few times, dragging his tongue along the back of Dew’s ear. He doesn’t realize he’s pinned him against the counter until he needs to brace one hand on it because grinding against Dew’s ass is making him lose his balance.

Dew can’t help palming himself through his flannel pajama pants, the sound of Rain breathing heavy in his ear, the fact that he gets so worked up over nothing, that he makes Dew feel so wholly desired.

“Maybe we should move.” Dew whispers.

Rain responds with a grunt, slipping one hand out, only to shove his fingers in his mouth. Dew can hear him lapping at the space between his fingers, sucking on the tips like he can’t bear to leave a trace.

“You wanna fuck them don’t you?”

“You’d let me?”

“Mm.” Dew replies. “Both sides if you blow me after.”

Mery Crisis!

I want to be weirder but I’m scared but let’s just say Rain cleaning Dew up after…with his tongue. Cause he’s gross but also in love.

MOTHHHHH, this is THE most welcome surprise to open Tumblr too holy fuck you literal godsend 🫶

Rain has definitely used Dews ability to heat up and sweat like crazy more then once, and I cannot imagine how many times theyve done stuff after shows with it-

Like imagine Rain having to peel off those era 3 skin tight jeans down just so he can fuck Dews slick thighs over the greenroom counter not caring if anyone walks in on them there because he needs him and his thighs now, and he immediately drops to his knees after to lick up his own mess afterwards just to suck Dew off when he's done because he needs a taste of his co...

ANYWAYS-

You are a godsend and I need more of them and this idea with it being even more weird and fucked up please and thank you 😌🫶

More random thoughts .3.

So, our three good bois… they have all been through a lot in their respective lives.

Cal moved away from his family to serve as a knight to a princess who doesn’t even know how to achieve her full potential yet… and he’s supposed to care, then it all gets ruined in the end anyways… and DIES!

Wild, gone through all of that… awaken 100 YEARS LATER! All of his friends and family are long gone and he’s told to protect and save the princess AGAIN! Mind you the SAME ONE who couldn’t even save him in the end, but somehow saved herself. Yes technically Zelda was able to have others take Wild to the shrine but that doesn’t make it any better. But he tries to get everything back to the way it was and have some peace.. but then…. Of course… she had to explore underneath the castle… SHE JUST HAD TOO!

Sage, with everything that happened. Everything thing that had happened…. Including damn near losing an arm and being corrupted…. It all make sense now. Sage has EVERY RIGHT to be as feral as he is. The rage… the RAGE!! Lost his family, friends, position, his status, his sanity…. And it was all for a princess… WHOES KINGDOM BARELY EXISTS!!! AND SHE TOOK HIS HOUSE! But you want to know what I think? As much as I can see the rage, the anger, and the hate that Sage has kept inside for so long… he honestly just wants to break… he wants to just cry all of the tears that he had kept looked up for so long, hell if you think about it… who’s not to say that Sage hasn’t thought about canceling his subscription from his existence??

I finally understand why he’s so attached to the Reader, not only do they see him as an actual person with feelings, they don’t judge him for it. They understand just how much this poor cupcake has went through… and all Sage wants is to hold them and cry, cry until his voice is long gone from existence, but he still has too many tears to spare, he’ll just hold on to Reader and cry for days, weeks if he could… and Reader knows that Sage needed this, he needed to know that he is loved and it’s ok to be sad… and they’ll hold him for eternity if they have to.

The triplets are so fun to spitball with.

Cal feels so trapped by his duty, especially with Fauna treating him the way she does. So when he's given the opportunity to have someone who isn't oppressing him, but instead steps back and lets him flourish? It absolutely strings something between the two of them. Something heavy and unbreaking because he can't go back to the way he was before. He'd go insane.

Wild is almost the exact opposite. He's so sporadic and unpredictable that he's so thankful to have someone to ground him at long last. Even with Flora breathing down his back, all about rebuilding this and redoing that (Even redoing the very things that killed him and the champions in the first place), he can get through it all with you beside him, acting as an anchor.

Now, Sage. I love the ideas you brought because we have to look at his character as a whole. He went through the militant training that Cal did, lost his life and his friends, woke up over a century late like Wild, was just as lost and manic as he was. But he had managed to pick himself up. Had managed to settle himself long enough to deal with the initial threat before attempting to give himself for room to fully quell himself. But then he wasn't given that time. Instead forced back on the front line, now tainted by this Gloom, and dragged back to the bottom of the barrel, sans a whole arm (While he had Rauru's, it wasn't the same). That and the bitch took his house. That would absolutely destroy any sane person, let alone someone like Sage who is so broken.

Small TW: Talk of unalive-ing!

The idea that Sage has in fact thought of that route is something I've been toying with back and forth. He is such a broken man. He's tired and destroyed in every way. Mentally, emotionally, now physically? He had nothing. People don't care for him, they forget he exists without Natura parading him about. He can't even go to Hateno, they all plainly favor her over him; after all they just let her take his house. And worse of all? He's sick. He's infected with this Gloom, which tears him to shreds and hurts. It clenches his heart and constricts his lungs to the point where he's too delirious with pain to tell up from down sometimes.

There were probably times he debated just...giving up? Why be a pawn for Hylia to use? Why go through this torture and this pain over and over and over again? There was so much more to do since his first (Second?) adventure and just thinking about it is exhausting.

But when he meets Reader?

When someone cradles his shattered parts with any form of genuine care? Who lets him cry without holding it over him? Who doesn't think twice about shielding his vulnerable parts from the outside world?

He has a reason to live now. To fight and survive. Not just survive, but thrive. Because he's not living for himself anymore. He's living for his Goddess. He's buying a house on the outskirts of Tarrey Town, he's hunting those shrines down for the light inside. He's learning how to use this new arm to his advantage. He's honing his senses and perfecting the techniques that helped him survive the first time. Foraging, hunting, fishing? All of it? He excels to impress you. He is clawing out of the hole he was dropped in and fucking prospering.

And he'd make damn sure he'd continue to do so. Just to keep his Goddess in his grasp.

I just wanna hold Sage while he cries ;-;, like lemme brush your hair and cradle your cheeks, with a little smooch to your perfect cheeks.

Summary:

It didn’t matter that his heart was breaking. That the Zora he loved was marrying someone else. That he sat there and watched him get married. Because at the end of the day Link knew he couldn’t allow himself to break. Allow himself to feel.

He had to find Zelda.

And then everything would be fine.

Or:

Link is majorly going through it, but refuses to ask for help. After learning of Zelda’s fate, Link’s journey finally takes its toll on him, and all of Hyrule is forced to come to terms with the burden their hero endures.

Link is Hyrule’s Hero, the knight who never backs down from any challenge, but what happens when the hero they all love is in need of rescuing from himself?

Or; or:

I saw all the shit Link’s been going through on his own, and decided Hyrule wouldn’t stand for it.

This is a SidLink fic, but it’s also pretty heavy on the found family regarding Link, Zelda, the Sages + some others. If that sounds up your alley than hey! Maybe you’ll enjoy this fic.

[h0neylevi]

The reason I always love the stoic character with the off-putting, grumpy personality who has gone through a lot and has a lot of trauma is because they always end up finding their one person who chooses to see the good in them and never gives up until they get them to lower their guard a little. It gives me hope that loners can make friends if people just try.

People don’t bother in real life.

Sage's Ex, Final

There's no warning this time, as this is the good ending of this story, a hoe gets murdered though so there's that, plus Sage and Rosalina are at a shopping date here!

It took some days to track the ex with the help from Vox and Eva, both wanting to join as they had a soft spot for Sage. It was rare for any sinner to be openly genuine and Sage was good for Velvette, she was less prone to tear into the models than what she used to before Sage came into the picture. Not to mention that Eva found a friendship in someone who is so open on music choice, with even suggesting some bands that Eva wasn't aware of. Hazel went to work explaining to Sydney, Iris and begrudgingly Xana to the situation when they got to the address of a run down apartment complex.

Xana asked repeatedly, "So when we kill is hoe for beating our Sage man, we are free to take her shit right?"

Hazel was so done with Xana "I said I don't fucking care what you do afterward but if you find a denim jacket that has a lot of patches on it, it belongs to Sage, period."

Sydney and Iris were eager to serve some justice for their friend, they liked when they hung out during the overlord meetings as Sage will bring tons of snacks for them to enjoy and saw them as equals.

Velvette, snapping her fingers to get everyone's attention "Ok ladies we know what we came here to do right?"

In unison the guards except Xana responded "yes ma'am "

"Good, let's make this washed out crusty hag pay for laying a finger on our girl."

MEANWHILE, AT VOXTEC TOWERS

Rosalina didn't know what to expect when she was tasked to "keep Vel's pup happy until they were done with some business " honestly if there was any demon that Velvette wanted to make disappear she should have turned to her first, but she figured this would be fine.

Vox and Eva were arguing about Sage's prosthetic, with Vox wanting to add all kinds of bells and whistles that would in his words "make life tens times more easily than before," with Eva cutting in by stating "You dense flat microwave Sage here shouldn't have to connect to the wifi in order to jack off,"

Sage, being the subject at hand, was sitting on the elongated table, kicking their feet almost like a kid at a dentist office.

Rosalina kept thinking to herself, how did that one managed to charm both Velvette and Hazel? Even getting a soul bind deal from the former as well.

Sage, feeling the gaze from across the lab, turned and waved at Rosalina, forgetting that the arm was being worked on and received both profanities from Vox and deep laughter from Eva

Oh that's why, Sage is a fucking dork,

Rosalina realized, hiding her face from showing the deep blush of her cheeks

BACK AT THE BASTARDS HOUSE.

Hazel was instructed to knock the door even though she was hoping to break it down all together

After a few minutes a figure answered the door, seeing the demon up close was a shock for everyone to see; to start, the demon's frame was similar to Hazel's, albeit a more sickly appearance, most likely due to the notable needle marks that were visible on one of her arms.

Her beak looked chipped and cracked, perfect to be smashed in. To add, the demon had large plate-like growths jetting from both sides of her head.

"Uh, can I fucking help you?" The bastard finally answered

Hazel shoved the beast to the side, with everyone following suit to step into the apartment

"Why yes you can, " Velvette answered sweetly, "we are here to grab some of the stuff belonging to someone dear to us"

The ex, being corned by both Sydney and

Hazel, knew better than start a fight as they are definitely outmatched,

"If it's about that bunny bitch I used to bang, you are free to take her shit ba-" being cut off by receiving a kidney punch from Hazel

"Don't you ever call her that again" Hazel growled at the shaking perpetrator

"Oh I wasn't asking dear, we are getting her stuff regardless of what you say, we just wanted to see how cooperative you would be."

After 10 minutes of scavenging the entire complex, the jacket was finally located, Xana being more focused on grabbing miscellaneous trinkets. Iris passed the coat toward Velvette to inspect the treasure.

The jacket looked beautiful, the handstiches were neat and still held strong despite the history it had. The patches that were sewn into the coat were from a collection of some indie bands, with the most striking one depicting a two-headed serpent, their tongues intertwining.

"Yup, this is the one" Velvette announced, snapping her fingers to let the others know to wrap everything up, if anything this is the most important thing that mattered.

"Hey you can't just barge into my crib and ransacked it like a pack of flea-ridden whor-" the ex shouted before receiving another punch from both Hazel and Sydney

"Actually we can bitch," Velvette's voice sharpen, "You hurt my love and you think I'm going to let you go knowing that you are still roaming around like the cockroach you are?"

Velvette was at the doorstep, holding the coat as if it were made of jewels and gold,

"Ladies, make her last hours of here absolute hell" she commanded with a furious cackle

IN PENTAGRAM CITY

Sage was not expected to be this pampered, especially not from the lust myth dragon herself,  but she was still learning to accept whatever compliment or gift that was given to her.

"Rosalina, ma'am, "

Rosalina corrected Sage,

"Please dear, call me Rosa, we are close enough to drop the formalities"

That part was somewhat true to Sage, they both had the experience of sharing the same affection toward Hazel and Velvette, but Sage was still nervous around Rosalina, not intimidated but was rather the desire to be connected with her.

"Ok Rosa, this is the six clothing shop that we have been in, you don't need to get me any of this," pointing at another dress shirt that Rosa grabbed off the shelf.

"Well then you shouldn't look this cute in any of them then," Rosa argued, smiling at seeing the face of the short guard growing a deep red, Sage was still getting used to being called cute.

"Well I guess you have to get used to it then," Sage retorted, not expecting to receive a peck on the lips from the tall woman herself.

"I guess I will then~" satisfied at the guard attempting to hide their face as it became a more deeper color, she could swear Sage was going to turn purple.

______________________________

Returning to the tower, Sage saw everyone surrounding something that she couldn't make out,

Sage dropped everything that she was carrying and rushed over to the group, why were they covered in blood? What are Sydney and Iris doing here? And Xana too? Didn't Hazel and Xana hated each other?

Hazel patted Sage's arm, revealing a box wrapped around with shiny red ribbon.

"Bluebell, we think this belongs to you."

Sage, seeing the group's anticipated looks, carefully removed the ribbon and opened the box, containing the intact denim jacket, which was stainless compared to her peers.

Silence deafened the room,

did Sage like the gift?

Was this a good idea?

Hazel was startled when Sage quickly jumped into her, arms and legs wrapping around Hazel like she was a tree that happened to be made if fur.

Questions were spilled from her mouth in-between sobs, mainly in the form of "How?", "Did you went through all this trouble to get it?" And "Did you guys had any trouble with that bitch?"

Hazel, now supporting Sage with her arms answered with reciprocated energy, "It was nothing Bluebell, we figured that you would want something you busted you ass to make and that piece of trash will never bother you again."

"More like pieces!" Xana snorted, holding two cardboard boxes. One contained some more of Sage's items such as metal trinkets and old shirts from different indie bands and the second one holding other junk like silverware, boots and a dingy microwave. Which Sage proceeded to smash it into a million pieces, finally putting that end of that chapter to rest even through pleas from Xana. Hazel informed the imp to "let her have this"

After obliterating the microwave to debris, Sage turned to her friends and partners, toothy grin from ear to ear

"Who wants steak tonight?"

THROWS THIS AND RUNS ANYWAY SAGE GETS A HAPPY ENDING HOORAY

Hazel belongs to the amazing @puffymucher

Rosalina and Xana belongs to the legendary @mirconreadzztuff22

calling autistic people willing to share and/or psych or slp studyblrs ! cw: aba therapy

im in a communication disorders class and we have a week on asd. theres a section where she teaches about aba therapy and its presented fully as just an effective 'treatment' method, she goes into detail on the different techniques used in it and the goals of it but doesnt ever bring up like. any of the bad stuff or any alternative viewpoints. my school/program is already so weird when it comes to aba therapy and i really resent that my education here is so not from real neurodivergent perspectives and now that im finally facing it so head on in actual class material i feel so icky and like i need to do SOMETHING

so does anyone have recs on good resources to learn about other povs on aba therapy or about autism and communication disorders in general, since i feel like i need to teach myself atp cuz i really dont trust this curriculum now? or any recs on like if/how i should maybe ask the prof about it herself, is that a conversation worth having? for what its worth i am not autistic myself, just adhd and very into developmental psychology lol. i always cringe internally when aba therapy comes up but up till now ive never felt well versed enough in the topic to genuinely challenge anyone on it, but i want to change that now cuz im getting too far into my education to Not be opinionated on this i feel.

i genuinely really appreciate any feedback yall, thanks for reading <3
