Modern au:
When baby manorian was under the age of two she wasn’t able to speak yet. however, she was able to communicate with her parents by making sounds and shaking her head to say no.
At that time, when Dorian asks her if he’s hungry he always rubs her stomach while getting her food. She picked up on it, and every time she gets hungry, she’d walk up to the nearest parent and rub her stomach while complaining in baby talk. They’d instantly know that she’s hungry and get her food because poor baby is in need of sustenance
#booklr#books and reading#throne of glass#manon blackbeak#tog#dorian havilliard#manon x dorian#manorian#Dorian is so proud of her really#she doesn’t let her lack of ability to speak stop her#she’s able to communicate just fine#and he especially loves seeing her with her mother#as uncertain in her ability to be a good mother Manon is actually doing a great job#their daughter loves her so much and she’s always with her#even when she’s playing she’d stopped and run to cuddle her mama before returning to her toys again#he’s always there watching the two of them interact#their daughter loves her mama and she loves being around her#it’s what he keeps telling Manon when she ever doubts herself#it took a long time but Manon finally settled that she isn’t fucking her daughter up#because whenever anything happens she’s the first person her daughter seeks to tell#no hint of fear or anything Manon grew up with#just a child fully trusting her mother and her mothers love#knowing that there is nothing to worry about and that her mama has got her back#honestly it was seeing these things when her daughter was older that made Manon finally realize she’s not harming her daughter and giving#her a ton of trauma

was thinking about this post of jackie wearing shauna’s flannel after she finds out shauna slept with jeff. i was thinking about this and i was thinking about how jackie is so furious at shauna and feels so betrayed by her but still cant help but instinctively seek comfort in her. and even when jackie tries to shut shauna out and force herself to move on, it all still comes back to shauna anyway because why else would she look over her shoulder and make sure shauna sees her walk off with travis? the more jackie tries to make it not about shauna the more it IS about shauna (and of course the more shauna tries to make jeff not about jackie, the more it IS about jackie) and shauna is so deeply embedded in jackie that even after the ultimate betrayal jackie still cant help but reach for her, whether for comfort/familiarity (flannel) or to try to hurt her (by sleeping with travis) or even just to get her attention (again, sleeping with travis) but either way she’s still literally physically and emotionally incapable of not reaching for shauna. so anyway i was thinking about this and then it was making me soooo unwell so i decided to inflict it on all of you so you can think about it too
#sorry. or you're welcome#anyway of course it couldve been a coincidental shirt grab from the communal pile but also NO THE FUCK IT COULDNT HAVE BEEN#do we really think jackie 'im not in love with my best friend' taylor does not have all of shaunas flannels memorized#she def either grabbed that one by accident and was like ugh. well. fine i guess [secretly glad to be able to claim a piece of shauna]#or she sought it out for reasons that are unknown to her but very obvious to us#also someday we should talk about how both of them just want the other to notice them#but thats a post for another day bc i think i need to rotate it in my mind a little longer#yellowjackets

here's a character reference sheet that i made just for artfight this year! i dont think ive ever posted about neeta before, but she's one of my favorite oc-turned-dnd characters that ive made in some time because shes just so fun and versatile to play 🥰 she loves studying and experimenting with the magical/medicinal plants and mushrooms that she travels the world to document, and she definitely isn't secretly harboring a possibly sentient fungal symbiote in her body!
#spoilers: she was in fact hiding the rapidly budding sentience of the mycelial network she accidentally infected her nervous system with#but to be fair that was years ago and she hasnt had any negative effects until recently!#shes just weirdly able to communicate with plants and fungi#and it turns out that her new sporal friend is mostly chill so it turned out fine in the end! its fine!!#my art#oc art#mushrooms#witch#original character#dungeons and dragons#i still need to add her little mushroom homunculus familiar to this too

i will NOT pick fights with my group members i will not i will not and i will ESPECIALLY not pick fights with the girl who’s both one of the leaders of the project and who i’ll probably be coworkers with next year i will have patience i am so chill and fine and secure and confident not at all going to explode
#peach rambles#it’s fine it’s fine it’s fine it’s fine there’s no need to get worked up over these little persistent annoyances#she’s nice she’s talented she’s hardworking she’s also. there is just Something i can’t put into words#i should not get bitter about her little quirks she’s human too it’s fine!!#even though sometimes communicating with her and the others like her is like trying to walk through a glass wall#i simply cannot reach them i have never been able to reach my peers she and her people are an in-group#and in-groups can tick you off so fast by failing to communicate or recognize you even though they’re just regular chill people#but they never look past their groups they’re in their own world but they’re trying to be polite still i can’t get mad#it turns me into the villain of the story bc i’m the mean annoying one who has negative feedback that shatters the fairytale world#i approach things differently and it doesn’t gel with how they approach things so they give me orders and i question those orders or argue#i’m the one causing problems with my own ideas but i don’t have a chorus of friends to back me up i’m alone in the fight#so i just look like i suck#auhhhiiihghhhh

Alright gw2 peeps, here's one for all of you with a lot of alts:
All your characters of the same class (e.g. all your rangers) are stuck together in an escape room.
Which of your "class groups" is off the worst and who gets the job done with no problem?
#edit: yall did this way more detailed than my word salad so lemme redo this class by class as well:#eles: not awful. overall a relatively cooperative group despite very differing personalities.#wouldnt be the fastest in finding the solutions but definitely are getting out of there without casualties or other damages#necros: shit tier dynamics. hostile charr that wants to be left alone vs. volatile chak madman vs. way too gentle sylvari plant#communication would NOT go well but they would make it out (neljje contributes NOTHING to this)#mesmers: nightmare courtier who is out to be as destructive on purpose as possible vs. just some guy vs. tvekks (enough said)#tvekks will suffer but they'll probably make it out. maybe. im unsure.#rangers: actually competent. if we ignore the hostile inquest rat in the room we're left with a competent charr leader and a#very cooperative norn huntsman (and bobbie but he contributes absolutely nothing). they will get out just fine.#engineers: disaster. there might be dead. too many egos in one room and a poor norn who just wants to get out beween everyone fighting#she might jus solve this on her own while the other three are about to slice each other's throats#thieves: absolute hell tier. mordrem sylvari trying to eat everything he can possble dig his teeth into.#a mildly confused human who probably just tries her best while the asura in the room is suffering psychic damage caused by#the mordrem and the charr that will simply not shut up for one second#i do not see ANYONE managing to get a solution in these conditions even if individually they might just be able to.#revs: awkward atmosphere between happy upbeat asura kid and really grumpy charr but they're getting through it#warriors: also a weird clash of personalities but they'd pull their asscheeks together and get out of there#and finally the guardians: no destructive force in here. just two very mature people and a slightly chaotic but otherwise clever bard#absolute dream team coming up with solutions. peace and happiness.#budgie plays gw2

We’re having a lot of issues with daycare and for the first time in 6 years, I don’t feel comfortable sending my child there. I haven’t been super happy with them regardless (never experienced any of this stuff with my oldest) but I’m also a veteran daycare mom so I understand how it works better than someone who has only utilized it for 1-2 years and I’m close with the owner and a lot of the teachers. I am typically in the “relaxed” pool of moms where I don’t let little things bug me but since June, we’ve had too many things come up that we are like, what are you doing???? I’ve spoken to the owner and her assistant about it (more than once!!!) and expressed my concerns about her teachers lack of communication and how they handle things. And the last week the current teachers are handling things very badly and I really don’t like it. Like considering keeping her home today because I don’t know that I trust them anymore.
#this is such a strange sucky feeling for me#because a year ago i never had an issue ever#and then she broke her tooth#and while the tooth isn’t the issue#the way her classroom handled it was absolutely horrible#and the only reason I didn’t pull her out is because we went on a vacation after and I was able to not freak out on them#and since she broke her tooth in June it’s been a downward slope of bad choices and terrible communication#it’s really the preschool room#older toddlers was fine#we actually said we think it’s been since when the one teacher passed away in November#it’s just been doing downhill since then!!!#I don’t know what to do

The main reason I hate Toga's character more than the other LoV is mainly because Hori tried to late and to shallowly to make her sympathetic. It's gotten to the point that the things that we are told make her sympathetic are vague at best and how she reacts is to brainless to make sense.
The main thing I see people say about Toga and her character is that she just wants to be accepted for who she is. She's freaking out now because she didn't want to destroy the world she just wanted an easier life. Yet if she wants to live she has to pick a side and only the villains would accept her.
The problem is that we never actually see Toga rejected due to her Quirk except by her parents, who seem less upset by her Quirk and more for her exceptionally high drive to obtain blood. They don't say her Quirk is gross, instead they tell her to stop killing birds and smiling about about it. It's less about her having a blood Quirk and more about her actions.
The same can be said for everyone else. Hori doesn't tell us one way of another if the kids at school knew about Toga's Quirk or not, but given Quirks are registered, kids like to brag, and being Quirkless is just as ostracizing it seems likely they did. But even if they didn't, they didn't turn on Toga because of her Quirk, they were instead rightfully freaked out that she attacked another kid out of nowhere, jammed a straw in his neck and blushed like she was getting off to it before fleeing.
Ochako, Izuku, and Tsyu don't comment on her Quirk being gross. The Heroes don't either (to my memory). Instead they react to Toga's actions, the things she herself does of her own volition. Ochako doesn't reject Toga because she's just to brainwashed to understand Toga might be sad but instead because Toga lures her away from saving civilians that are in-part in danger and dying because of Toga's choices, by killing a old woman. Than instead of telling Ochako about Jin's death or even acting any different than she always does, she tackles her with a knife, trying to kill her with a smile.
Ochako never says she hates Toga because of her Quirk, or that she was always going to be a villains because of it. Instead Ochako just tells her that if the way Toga wants to live is to threaten people than she has to be willing to accept the consequences of those actions.
The thing is, if Toga's goal was always to live an easier life, what does that even mean? Considering how badly she takes reasonable rejection, it really feels like her ideal world would be one where she could suck the blood of anyone she saw as cute and they'd have no right to tell her no.
When Shigaraki said he wouldn't destroy what was precious to her did she think that he'd gift her Izuku and Ochako to keep as forced blood bags for her to use whenever she wanted? Or did she just think that if Shigaraki beat the Heroes her crushes would fall at her feet and beg her to suck their blood?
Why is Toga freaking out now? Because she doesn't like AfO? Did she not understand when Shigaraki leveled the first city, that he meant what he said about destroying everything? Did she truly not think the Heroes would fight against them, meaning they'd all have to die for them to get an 'easy' life?
Again, she was never rejected for zero reason. She legitimately hunted people like they were animals and because of Hori coding her desire for blood as sexual she comes across as kind of an incel, who thinks people should just be forced to give her what she wants. Her freaking out now feels less "she didn't really want to hurt anyone" and more "she definitely wants to hurt people, but not this many people" or even "local girl to stupid to realize that 'kill all humans party' actually wanted to kill all humans".
#bnha critical#bnha#mha#idk I think that more emphasis needed to be on Toga being rejected just because of her Quirk#not just her actions#like no one cares she sucks blood#no one says it's an evil quirk#and no one gave a crap about Stain's either#or Vlad King's#no one gives a crap about blood Quirks#the only evidence we have that society might look down on them is the woman that tried to kill Toga saying something about it#but we don't actually get anything else to confirm that#instead the people who 'reject' toga do so because she tries to kill them or others#and just generally forgets how to talk to humans whenever she with non-villains#like idk how she can be shocked and offended when Izuku didn't want to date her when she asked during an open war#and she pulled him away from his friends#who could be getting killed as they speak#this girl was able to communicate normally with people until she was 14#and even than acts fine with the LoV#why does she become an alien when she has to talk to the kids?#oh right because if she actually talked to them they would tell her that they don't hate her Quirk#and that they don't want to kill her#and than the fight would be over#so to draw it out Hori has to have Toga drop her brain on the ground whenever Ochako or Izuku is around

i’m feeling soooo nervous for my assessment monday. we’re going to review my answers to the questionnaires i was given and i’m worried i’m going to clam up on the spot and not be able to justify myself at all
#which is why i wrote 300 pages of notes in preparation#but what if she doesn’t believe me because i can’t articulate myself well#i was talking to my bf about this earlier and how i’m worried i’m not going to walk away with a diagnosis if i can’t communicate myself#to her in our meeting. and then realized wait. why am i so worried about not being able to communicate#LOL i’m probably fine. but like what if i’m making it all up and/or i can’t get her to believe me#idk she does. bc she asked if i’ve had staring spells and i said yeah since like 1st grade#and my dad said he hadn’t noticed me doing that. and then she was like ‘well she must have done a really good job hiding it.#which is what she wanted.’ so she KNOWS i’ve been masking#idk. it’s just wild. this is the most insane thing i’ve ever gone through

I think maybe I need to try to have a talk with the alter that's obsessively been looking at her/our abuser's fb page because he keeps popping up in my reccomended friends and it triggers me so bad every time
#I doubt I'll be able to get through to her in any capacity though#even if I could get her close enough to communicate with she's just. well. obsessed with him#and I suspect it's a compulsion thing which is so much harder to break than just a bad habit#aghhhhhhhh..... she was nearly dormant for over a year and I think I got used to her not being around#but now that she's here more often again she's returning to old behaviors that I was doing perfectly fine without#I fucking. hate this stupid fucking disorder

#mom says that the reason she didnt comfort me while i was having one of the biggest meltdowns of my life was cus i wouldnt tell her what was#wrong and i clearly was capable#like i hate to tell you but just because im technically capable doesnt mean i can communicate easily#im too upset to be able to communicate my thoughts to you about why im upset#she literally told me that its annoying when i cry and scream without telling her whats wrong#she said and i quote I could ask anyone in the world and all of them would be annoyed by this#she said if i just said Sorry i cant calm down i cant talk right now that would be fine like hello? is that not fucking obvious?#i said wouldnt this (being a more concerning thing) make you more sympathetic and she said no it just makes me more annoyed and this is the#normal response#she said even when normal people are throwing up and retching they can communicate whats wrong#that im just pretending to not be able to talk to her to manipulate her and that im being disrespectful by intentionally getting louder and#more disruptive#my parents are convinced i do things on purpose to guilt trip them all the time and i dont understand it because theyve known me for#my whole life and thats the most out of character thing i could ever possibly do but they wont even consider that im not doing that#i asked her why she didnt believe me when i said i wasnt manipulating her and she said I do believe you! when did i ever say i didnt#i dont understand. shes convinced that every normal person behaves like her#and the worst of it is i know shes trying her best and yet still refuses to acknowledge the fact that#I DONT FUCKING MAKE MYSELF MORE MISERABLE ON PURPOSE!#she doesnt seem to understand that overreaction can be conscious and still unavoidable#like yes its not like if i tried i absolutely couldnt calm down and talk to you#but thats not helpful! i dont WANT to try because i am screaming so hard that mythroat will be sore for an entire day!#because i am upset!#i am too upset to care that i can tecxhnically stop#i just dont understand why its so hard to believe im not manipulating her when im genuinely upset#i dont understand why she looks at me like a loose screw. something annoying but not something worth fixing#its always bad enough to warrant anger and never bad enough to warrant a solution#because im crazy but im fine and im not disabled at all

do you ever just
#I’m kind of dying a little but it’s cool#I had an appointment with a psychiatrist today and I feel like I’m kind of regretting it 😖#I went in mostly concerned about my autism and adhd and prepared to talk about/deal with those#but then she ended up prescribing me lexapro for my anxiety#so I went and did a bunch of research on that but I’m kind of terrified of taking it#because it seems like a lot of people get nasty side effects especially at first#and like having anxiety isn’t fun but I can push through that even if I’m an anxious wreck about some things#but like my autism and adhd affect my life a lot more#like being totally overstimulated in public or not being able to hold my focus at all are a lot bigger deal to me#and I’m horrible at communicating with people especially in real time rather than over email or whatever#so I didn’t really properly get across my concerns and just sort of let her prescribe what she wanted#idk now I’m having doubts and I’ve never really taken meds before beyond otc stuff or like the odd strep prescription when I was younger#especially nothing that messes with your brain like this one does#plus I just really don’t do well with not feeling well or not feeling like myself so that kind of freaks me out#and I really should be sleeping rn but I just need to get this stuff off my chest I guess#it’s like things weren’t totally fine the way they were but they were *fine* you know#not changing things is just easier I guess#I just like to be prepared and researched and this psychiatrist took me off guard#I just don’t know what to do now#if anyone’s read this far- has anyone else with audhd taken lexapro for anxiety?#did it go okay?#im kind of scared of it now#😮💨 okay I really need to go to sleep now#anxiety#autism#Adhd#actually autistic#Vent post#i guess?

was feeling like maybe i was starting to be too petty about my dislike for my bestie's ex, especially since they're on decent terms now, and then her ex turns around and disrespects me to the point of outraging my bestie and im like no actually i have no respect for this person now. and i don't feel petty bc it's personal now lmao
#the whole thing is like. not even a big deal. and i would be fine with the outcome if she had communicated with me in the first place#instead of agreeing to something and then completely ghosting me when she wasn't able to follow through on the promise#like girl!! just tell me upfront!!#it wouldve been fine if you did!!

#it’s my wedding anniversary today and I’m in a snit#not for the typical romcom reasons one might assume that a woman might be a snit about like#’he forgot our anniversary!’ or ‘he never brings me flowers!’ or ‘we’re not doing anything special because i didn’t plan it!’#i specifically planned nothing except for my regular routine because I don’t WANT to do anything special#it’s just Wednesday#and i know that to some folks that’s just a passive aggressive way of a woman communicating that she wants more out of an experience#but i seriously don’t. in fact I’m annoyed that he took the day off instead of just the afternoon like he said he was intending to do#THAT I was able to fit into my morning routine. i knew I’d still have coffee and reading and Spanish time to myself#then i realized he was all in my space making a ton of noise and i got a sinking feeling in my stomach and understood#that he took the whole damn day off#which is fine—he’s entitled to do that and I’m not going to argue with it#but where is the communication?#did he think that this is what count as ‘spontaneous’ and ‘romantic’? he doesn’t know the meaning of the words!#and I know this by now! 23 years of marriage is a long time to NOT know that and hope for more#i have made my peace with this arrangement. he works and i manage the house and work on myself during my copious alone time#so to have him in my space when i just want to read my stupid smutty book and learn reflexive verbs rankles me#i asked point blank why he was bothering to take the day off and he said ‘to spend time with me’#dude we spend time together all the time and most of that time you’re face down in a sudoku puzzle or coding#which is fine because you know have your hobbies I’m not stopping you#so unless you have a specific plan in mind that would justify trainwrecking the morning routine of an autistic woman#a woman who has accepted a plain and unadorned life without sex or romance#then take off the afternoon that you said you were going to take off and let that be it ok?#i don’t want flowers. i don’t want a card. i do want the fancy grilled cheese we talked about before i remembered it was our anniversary#tbh Wednesday is just gyros night and I suggested the gourmet grilled cheese place as a change of pace that’s all#i don’t even want to go to the art museum.

#good news everypony I'm hurting myself this fine morning actually#kestrel :handshake: rogue: this song#glanced back at my names meta and started thinking abt#the way that rogue's powers activating when they did puts such a strong boundary on her childhood#something something you need to love your inner child so bad it makes you look stupid#also something about. cutting off the part of you that did believe they deserved better. that had been innocent and happy.#rogue's tragic backstory being such a normal tragedy until the moment it's _not_ makes me--#also just. hippie commune. I know that girl had flowers woven in her hair that she crushed into tangles playing I just know it#used to be able to run barefoot. used to not think twice about being held and cared for. that's just. childhood in a nutshell. isn't it.#&. unfortunately i got two left feet .& (playlist)#Youtube
