nothing more embarrassing than holding a blonde man dear in your thoughts. you were supposed to be the enemy.

There’s a very deep vein of paranoia on my mom’s side of the family. Growing up I was filled with dire warnings of being robbed and raped with wild abandon if I didn’t constantly keep my guard up.

My nana once refused to sit down in my home and relax because I hadn’t locked the door behind her. In broad daylight. In a condo community with kids running and laughing in the parking lot. My mom has often spewed vitriol about how she’d never trust anyone to come into her home for any reason.

Even while acknowledging how unhinged it all sounded some part of it lodged into my mind.

So now I find myself having to overcome this instilled distrust. The worst of this manifests in that I desperately want a house cleaner. I cannot even explain how much it would improve my quality of life to have a bi-weekly or even just a monthly run through to help with dusting, vacuuming, all the nooks and crannies we never get to.

Every time I look at rates I pine for how nice that would be and how I could use some commission money to justify the expense and every time the snarling feral thing my mom created in the back of my mind insists that it would be cataclysmic to let someone into my home and that I’d surely get robbed.

Like. Our stuff isn’t even nice, and it’s insane that a reputable company would allow that to happen but I always close the tab without booking.

ppl always turning kaveh into the flustered mess (not a bad thing, flustered kvh real) and haitham being too cool to get flustered dont know the truth- listen. listen to meee:

haitham perfected his poker face. if kaveh wraps his arms around him for an unexpected hug when haitham carries him back home from the tavern or kaveh reaches for his hand etc etc his pulse just shoots all the way up and his ears turn bright red. he looks cool and unbothered but his mind is doing a race with his heartbeat and hes such a mess inside- all by the simple touch of the person he has feelings for, for years.

he craves and enjoys physical touch sm (touchstarved hthm hc my beloved) that when kaveh reaches out he gets so flustered inside and then he blurts out usual haitham stuff to piss the architect off or stuff etcetc

Sorry, not sorry but I see this too often and it bothers me :)

Before people get mad: Notice how I put “Me and Penelope fans” there? I know there's others. this ain't about you <3

edit: This is about how people in the fandom prioritize Odysseus and Telemachus (and even Diomedes, who is not in the Odyssey) despite the Odyssey also being HER story as well. I've seen many fics about Odysseus and Telemachus in their youth, and never really seen that for Penelope.

FORGETTABLE-AU (Page 65-72)

* Time to put this puzzle together.

[BEGINNING] [PREVIOUS] [CONTINUE]

something something, the fact that Dazai despises dogs and yet is so insistent on Chuuya being one.

he isn’t wrong: of all the animals out there, Chuuya has the traits so stereotypical of a mutt. he was always one, i think, from the moment he was experimented on. and if he wasn’t under Dr. N’s rancid hands, then he surely was once the Sheep got a hold of him. sure, he was called the King of the Sheep, but what is that other than their herding dog? a shepherd so loyal to his flock, that even when a blade got buried in his abdomen he still cared for them. in the manga, it’s implied that his choker is the Sheep’s signature bracelet repurposed. he moved it from one pulse point to another, changed it from the sign of belonging to a crowd to the sign of defending one with a bloody maw. it’s a collar now, strung tight.

it’s explicitly stated that Chuuya will forever care about others, no matter how much they have hurt him. in his heart, there will always be a place for those who have done nothing but mutilate his life. a kicked dog whose tail still wags.

and. Dazai hates dogs.

genuinely, he’s disgusted by them. he takes every chance to mock or insult them. yet, he immediately became so fixated on calling Chuuya his dog, framing him as this portrait of unending loyalty, littered with wounds and stained with viscera. Chuuya becomes the one Dazai trusts the most in his current world, so much so that four years apart doesn’t change a thing. they’re back at each other’s side, lives immediately in the other’s hands; one soul, two bodies. the ends of a dichotomy that hides an endless spectrum within.

within hours of meeting, Dazai had decided that Chuuya was a dog, a mutt. he has yet to be proven wrong, and he has yet to truly hate him. something something

the shot at the end when joel and ellie are driving away through the open bedroom window, how it slowly pans further and further back into the room but it doesn't invade bill and frank's privacy of their final moments together...

gently cupping your cheeks in his hands and kissing your lips softly — no tongue, just peck after peck — as you sit on the kitchen counter with your legs spread and his cock throbbing in and out of you rapidly, like he’s shushing you and telling you everything will be alright, soon

i think that we as a society should separate being obsessed with a character and being romantically in love with them, because every single time i ramble to my friends abt my blorbos that i would die and kill for, they automatically assume i’m attracted to them and it’s like NOOO i just love them platonically w my whole heart, i’m so much closer to yearning to be them than romantically liking them WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAAAT ARGHH.

[doomed-era]

i've said this before but my problem with "good ganondorf" being portrayed as defanged and harmless has less to do with this in itself being a problem and more to do with that being the only way he's portrayed at all tbh—because it really speaks to how people perceive him. given even the slightest amount of edge or capacity for anger or violence and suddenly he can't be anything but a bad guy

🌸♀️: "I hate this. Why do women get periods? It hurts, I barely have the appetite to eat anything, I'm always angry and I don't have the energy for anything and, ugh."

🐉: "If it inconveniences you so, perhaps we could stop it."

🌸: 😶

🐉: "What?"

🌸: "Oh my god, what is wrong with you?"

🐉: "Why do you look at me so suspiciously? I am not a medical mage by profession, but I'll have you know that I am legally permitted to perform in case of emergencies. Granted, I don't have experience when it comes to the female anatomy, but it shouldn't be too difficult with a bit of studying..."

🌸: "Oh. I thought you were suggesting to impregnate me or something."

🐉: "..."

🐉: "I must admit I did not think of that. But if you wish for it, then I am not entirely against it..."

🌸: "No."

🌸, laughing in spite of the ridiculousness of it: "Stop batting your eyes at me. NO."

The magically-infused tea that he gave her the following morning worked wonders in improving her mood. The sleepless night he spent scouring through all the books that the library could offer about the female anatomy, just to be absolutely safe and sure, was well worth it. Proud as he was with his concoction, he sent some back to his grandmother as well.

Dear old grandma laughed out loud when she received it and guessed what it was for. Her cute, clueless grandson didn't know that she'd been menopause for centuries now.

headcanon that every bat can recognize the others just by hearing them cry

kinda like how some people can recognize others by their footsteps, but make it more angsty
