‘It’s my right as a bisexual to sit this way.’

Henry comes clattering down the stairs from his office, his brain fuzzy after putting in a solid few hours of working on his novel. He's hoping that Alex started dinner, because he's starving and can't cook and on nights when he writes, Alex usually spoils him with a delicious meal. He's been daring to dream of Alex's arroz con pollo, but instead of food he sees Alex sitting down reading, his butt on the cushion, both legs flung over the back of the sofa. "Alexander, that cannot be comfortable. Or good for the furniture." Henry smiles, running a hand up one of Alex's legs, nestling it on his thigh. That gets his attention, and Alex sets the book down. "It's my right as a bisexual to sit this way," Alex says in complete seriousness. "I can't sit straight. Get it?" The true joy at his little joke shows on his face, and Henry can't help but laugh. "Well, I'm certainly lucky that that's a fact," Henry says, and leans over the sofa, presses his lips softly against Alex's, his hand inching ever closer up that thick thigh of his.

Beach Week

@copaceticjillybean (Andre + Jillian)

After finding a shaded spot under a nearby tree, Andrealphus set up his lounge chair, umbrella and matching table on which he would place his drink and various cups of shaved ice. He also had a small snow globe, which channelled his cryokinetic powers and was emitting gusts of arctic air in his direction.

Once everything was set up to his standards, the marquis laid back in his chair, peering at the other guests through his round, icy blue shades. One of the guests quickly caught his attention, and a small smirk formed on his beak as she approached.

"So, you're attending this event as well, I see."

It would definitely suffice to say that this hadn’t been Hank’s morning. What was supposed to be nothing more than a simple errand soon after turned into him nearly becoming someone’s breakfast on the way home. Multiple times.

And he tended to be more sensitive to that sort of thing than most as it was.

Which brought Hank to where he was presently. Not at home, and in fact still shaken from his earlier ordeals to such that he’d scarcely stopped glancing over his figurative shoulders, and consequently feeling unwilling yet to travel back to the reef so vulnerably through open water, Hank had situated himself between a literal rock and hard place. That was: a large boulder towering over behind him, and a submerged wooden board lodged in the sand that he had wrapped his tentacles around to cling securely to it.

Though, unbeknownst to Hank, he was clinging to that old board in just such a way that it really made it look like he was hugging it, and that may have been, if at least partially, what prompted Bruce, in his happenstantial passing by and thus probable unawareness of Hank's current situation, to make that comment.

Admittedly, Hank hadn't actually paid much attention to whether or not he thought Bruce had sounded fully serious about it, being a little more preoccupied with looking out for the hungry predators that he had convinced himself were still lurking around, just waiting for him to swim vulnerably back out into the open.

“Hard pass. I'm not a hugger.”

There was a bit of an accidental nervousness that slipped through into Hank’s tone, possibly betraying the brusqueness with which he had hoped to mask those nerves.

“Aww, c’mon; I’m not a bad hugger,” Bruce pouted with a sulking facade, but didn’t move any closer to the cephalopod to carry out the threat of affection. However boisterous and friendly and affectionate the great white was, Bruce knew a bit better than most to overstep a boundary that was clearly set. Do that with any self-respecting shark, and that earned the offender a quick nip on the fin!

“Why’re ye in there anyway? I thought ye hung ‘round the reef a bit more,” the great white asked innocently. Comparatively, the reef tended to be a bit safer than the open waters. No matter how much a cephalopod mastered the art of camouflage, plenty of predators had means by which to see through imitation.

Bruce blinked a moment before canting his head, and giving a concerned expression with furrowed brows. “You okay?”

5 6 and 9 for mark? :3c

5) Gush about the little things your f/o does when they’re thinking really hard about something!

If it’s something he’s frustrated about, a lot of the time he’ll massage the bridge of his nose and frown. In general he frowns when he’s thinking hard tho. If he’s sitting, he’ll bounce his leg up and down

6) Gush about your f/o's laugh!

Mark’s laugh is low. He doesn’t laugh a lot, but when he does it’s usually a pretty sharp sound. He can be kinda smug sound with it too

9) Gush about the most recent date the two of you went on!

I really should’ve said not to send this one bcs I do not think about this kind of thing at all with my selfships. We probably went out for coffee or went to a movie something

Hello. If the ship ask is still open, can I have your thoughts on Oscar x Nero?

Hiya Whack, it’s been a while, and I hope you’re doing well 🥰!! Sure you can ask for the ship game, I don’t mind!

Oscar x Nero: Makes sense and it does kind of compel me! They’re opposites in personality and appearance, but they also compliment each other so well! He’s kind and patient towards Nero, and tries to encourage her to be a little more open. While Nero encourages him to do his best, and helps him with his work by giving him advice and trying to get him to focus on one thing at a time. But neither one hinders the other, and just lets them be themselves!

"Now, you have got to be honest with me. What are you some kind of patron saint of overworked women?" She teases as she tilts her head at him. It was rare that Marjorie had allowed herself to feel comfortable and truly like herself here. But he seemed to be making space for her to feel both of those things. "I'm only asking so I can direct all those calls I make to the folks upstairs your way since you seem to be in the mood to answer 'em."

He chuckled at her story, clearly entertained by the idea of her escaping a highbrow speakeasy for the comfort of a Cheesecake Factory. “Honestly, I get it. Sometimes, a place where you don’t need a secret handshake to order a drink is the way to go. Like this one here, just a nice drink and good company, that's all anyone really needs.” Kerem said, his grin widening.

Raising his glass, he met her gaze with a playful twinkle. “Consider it done. No riddles, no passwords—just a round on me and some good company. And if you ever need a hand smoothing things over, well, I’m your guy. Besides, once again, not as fun without good company to go with it, now is it?” He added, his tone softening with genuine warmth.

“I mean, you’re alive, which is way better than you not being that.”

"Yeah. I - I guess so yeah."

Always use "excuse me" if you have to get into someone else's personal space.

Someone at the store is standing in front of the shelf where there's a can you want to grab? Don't just reach into their personal space without warning, say "excuse me" or "pardon my reach" first so that they at least have a warning that someone is about to reach into their personal space, and most importantly, so that they have a chance to move before you get into their space.

Or if someone is standing on a walkway or in a doorway you need to get through, don't just silently shove past them or squeeze past them, say "excuse me" so that they have a warning that a someone is about to squeeze or shove into their personal space, and they have a chance to move out of the way before you do you.

People deserve a fair warning if someone is about to squeeze or shove or reach into their personal space. A lot of people are not okay with having someone, but especially a stranger, randomly shove or squeeze or reach into their personal space without warning. They also deserve a chance to move out of the way first for the sake of their comfort.

Try to avoid just staring at people who are in your way and expecting them to read your mind that you want them to move. Most people cannot, in fact, read minds, so having someone stand in front of them and stare at them often only leads to making them feel uncomfortable and frustrated.

But also more importantly, if you are standing somewhere someone needs to get to, and they say excuse me, you should move aside for them even if just temporarily, so they can avoid the discomfort of having to reach into your personal space or squeeze past you.

If someone is saying "excuse me" it's because they would like you to move because they don't want to have to get into your personal space, whether it's out of respect for you, or just because they themselves are not comfortable getting in your personal space.

All of this goes double for people with trauma and/or people who are neurodivergent. If someone has trauma related to abuse or assault they may find it more upsetting or possibly triggering to suddenly have someone shoving or reaching in their personal space without warning.

Or, many types of neurodivergence can make it especially disturbing and unpleasant to have someone else in your personal space, especially without warning.

You can never be 100% sure who is and isn't traumatized and/or neurodivergent, so always practice respecting other's personal space by giving them a fair warning with "excuse me" or "pardon my reach" before getting in their personal space, and moving aside when you hear those magic words. Or, even if someone isn't traumatized nor neurodivergent, it's still fair to not like someone in your personal space without warning and not being given the opportunity to move first.
