#supportive parents ftw!

[baybelletrist]

So happy for you, OP! I wish everyone had what you have.

my step mom was asking me more questions about the nonbinary thing and after talking to me for a bit, she said "oh, so youre a rosé! not a chardonnay transitioning to a merlot, just your own unique type" which was such a middle aged white woman way to frame it, but i cannot lie gang. it did make me want to cry

𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡 ⬙ 𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡

divorced husband!al haitham who is hit by a revelation over the year he lived separated from you - that he had taken you for granted and he had driven you away by failing to communicate and appreciate you properly.

divorced husband!al haitham who receives a little package from you on his birthday; just a small, store-bought birthday cake. he's reminded of the biting words he said the year before, when he tasted the cake you made with your daughter. in hindsight, it was perfectly normal for a three-year-old to mistake salt for sugar. in hindsight, he should have known to hold his tongue. in hindsight, he could have done better than just stare as your daughter cried in your arms.

divorced husband!al haitham who knows that you were just being nice with all these small gestures. for updating him about how your daughter is doing in school every month. it was all a formality of sorts and it was an agreement you had when you broke your marriage. but he can't help the hope that sparked within his chest when he sees your handwriting and hears your voice on the rare meet-ups you organize.

divorced husband!al haitham who admits that you deserve someone better. who resolves to be someone better.

divorced husband!al haitham who picks up that parenting book he abandoned and buys new ones because four-year-olds are different from newborn babies. people stare at him in awe when he starts attending the parenting-themed seminars, and it's like he's back in his akademiya days, taking notes and analyzing research journals.

divorced husband!al haitham who, to his previous roommate's surprise, lets himself be dragged into the 'severely unproductive' weekly tcg game meeting. he silently sits and listens to cyno unconsciously bragging about the warm home he built with his spouse, tighnari proudly retelling story after story about collei taking the lead of the forest rangers, and kaveh gushing about the love of his life.

divorced husband!al haitham who, to everyone's shock, asks for their advice on how to rebuild what he's lost, who for once listens to kaveh as he guides him to emphatize more and shows him the values of white lies when used properly, as inefficient as he though it was. soon enough it turns into a full-on lecture at one corner of lambad's tavern - tighnari had brought out a whiteboard out of nowhere, and even cyno who was at first skeptical about giving him a second chance was animatedly giving his own two mora to avoid worsening the disaster that is the scribe's love life.

divorced husband!al haitham who picks up a new pen and delicately writes a letter with the ink of your favorite color, intending to ask you to meet at the library because he wanted to "further encourage our daughter's newly-found interest in reading". he's hoping it would show his sincerity (yes, he did listen when you absentmindedly told him about your daughter on the last update meeting) and imply that he wishes to make amends (because he remembers not taking much interest in the more 'trivial' things that concerns your daughter when he should have).

divorced husband!al haitham who does not understand why you didn't reply to him, and so he proceeds to recite the letter, word-by-word, to the curious table of the same friends from a week ago, their tcg match long forgotten. kaveh throws a deck of cards at him. cyno slumps back to his chair with a steely expression, arms crossed. tighnari sighs and bemoans about how al haitham is the worst student he's ever had thus far. kaveh rubs his face with his palms - "alright. okay. alright. look. clearly one lecture isn't enough. we could just. we could try again. hey, at least he tried!"

divorced husband!al haitham who wakes up the morning after because of his doorbell, with barely two hours of sleep, coffee-less (you used to make him coffee and he does not understand what he's missing because he could never make them taste the same), grumpy (he remembers the way you would laugh and boop his nose whenever he feels like this), darkened eye bags under his hazy green eyes (which you used to try and will away with a kiss; it never worked but he wishes you were there to do it still), opening the door of his abode (the house feels far too big without you) and promptly almost collapsing from shock at the sight.

it's you.

divorced husband!al haitham who fumbles with his words; his brain isn't working properly and his composure is nowhere in sight. you're holding your daughter's hand and you're looking at him from head to toe with a frown. he asks why you were here. you tell him icily that it was your scheduled date for the usual monthly update; you thought he would have appreciated you bringing your daughter this time. his brain stops. his heart swells. his chest feels warm.

divorced husband!al haitham who invites you in and blushes when you see the remnants of last night's "lectures". kaveh's silly flowchart ('when you should shut your mouth') is still present on the whiteboard. tighnari's books about child development created little towers around the coffee table. cyno's headpiece is still lying on the sofa. and his own copious notes are all over the place.

"what kind of.... project.... are you working on, exactly?"

his brain's broca's area must have been terribly damaged from all the 'scenario exercises' kaveh put him through last night, because what was supposed to be a 'pay no mind to it, it's merely a personal interest of mine' somehow turned into a sheepishly spoken: "i wanted to become a better partner and father."

and you must have thought he was crazy, too, with that look of utter shock on your face. al haitham decides to change the subject. he sees the way your daughter is eyeing the pantry - more specifically, the cabinet that used to store her snacks, and maybe it's all the books and seminars he attended but somehow he understands.

"have you... had breakfast?"

"..... no," your tone is cold and you avert your eyes. the implication is not lost on him. you had not planned to stay for long.

"i see. would you like to procure-" he pauses, gazes towards your daughter, remembering what he read - and he drops to his knees so he can be of a similar eye level with the young child. when he speaks next his tone is higher, softer, and you almost can't believe what you're witnessing, "-would you and mommy like to get some food with daddy?"

"..... yes."

his little angel's voice is barely above a whisper and slightly unsure, but it still makes a genuine smile spread onto his lips for the first time in...... what seemed like forever. he directs his gaze up towards you, like some kind of a lost puppy seeking permission from its owner. you throw one last glance at his notes and sigh before nodding stiffly.

"alright.... you look like you badly need coffee anyway."

divorced husband!al haitham who, despite the tiredness in his bones, readily escorts the two of you out of the house after quickly scribbling a note for the three guests sleeping on a pile in the guest room.

divorced husband!al haitham who asks his daughter about where she'd like to eat and agrees immediately upon her answer despite knowing that their destination would only serve that trashy coffee he loathes with his whole life (and when you ask him again whether he's really okay with her choice, he says yes even though he wanted to say no).

divorced husband!al haitham who asks you about the latest updates on your job and tells you that he thinks it's admirable, for you to balance caring for their child while also having such a stable career (you did not express the need to be getting constructive criticism on how to further improve your career and branch out your skills, so he decides to keep his mouth shut).

divorced husband!al haitham who stumbles, trips, and is still horribly clumsy as he paves a path back to walk beside you and your daughter. but he tries. and he hopes to spend his next birthday with you, your daughter, a kitchen that looked like an oven has exploded, and a deformed cake.

and as the front door closes, the three guests high-fives each other in a small circle from behind the slightly opened door of the guest room.

[ebdaydreamer]

Something subtle that I appreciate about Eddie’s conversation with Pepa, is that at no point is it implied that there’s something wrong with not having a romantic partner, just that Pepa worries Eddie will be lonely and become too settled to want to change that.

It reminds me of a conversation I had with my parents last week. The topic of my sexuality got brought up (I’m aroace), and my mum (who I hadn’t had a proper conversation with about it yet) was asking questions. Both my parents told me that they didn’t care as long as I was happy, but they only worried that I’d be lonely.

In the society we live in, it’s a perfectly valid fear for our loved ones to have. Amatonormativity has been shoved down our throats our whole lives. It’s honestly a fear that creeps up on me at times - what will my support system/family look like if I decide to not have a partner (romantic or otherwise)? Do I want to live alone? With people? Will I socialise enough if all my friends are prioritising their partners and family? It’s a vaild fear.

Eddie and Pepa are clearly very close. It’s only natural for Pepa to worry Eddie will be alone. But it’s not a ‘you need a spouse or partner or you WILL be lonely’ kind of concern. It’s ‘please don’t shut out possibilities because you’re afraid’ kind of concern.

Eddie wants a partner. He still needs to figure out what that looks like for him, though. Because from what we’ve seen, it’s not the perfect Latina woman who’d be a great stepmother. It wasn’t even the actual mother of his child. He’s not going to fit into that mould of a family or relationship we’re all told is ‘perfect’.

I think about what mould I’ll make for myself, but I don’t necassarily need to have figured out yet. And it’s so validating to see a character in his thirties figure out what that mould looks like for him too.

(Eddie Diaz in a QPR FTW) (i’m joking, buddie ftw, those boys are in love and should get gayly romantically married) (...but...)

[hyperfixation-symposium]

I was writing out a whole post about relationships in qsmp but I realized I didn't like how it was framed so I'm just gonna yell in a random post

I LOVE ALL THE PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS IN THE QSMP THEY HOLD MY WHOLE HEART

and such a range??? We are blessed beyond belief?

(REMEMBER: CHARACTERS NOT CC!S) Phil and Missa Platonic husbands ftw. Roier and Jaiden best friends and so supportive of one another. Foolish and Bad's "I will prank you and be the worst person and yet I trust you so much" immortal friends. Cellbit and Forever's dedication and care of the eggs, with Cell doing everything in his power to get Felps back.

Baghera and Forever, Bad and Maximus, Wilbur and Jaiden, I could just go on forever about their dynamics.

About how the server has teamed up to protect the eggs, about the parents and their eggs, god the whole group going together to save Bobby.

I enjoy romantic stuff, and the silly joking ships, don't get me wrong. But the love in all the varied expressions of platonic love means so much to me, esp as an aro person.

I may yell about this further in another post but it's just so good seeing the friendships and love behind the fandom. It's incredibly heartwarming and I cannot wait to see more.

[carolinahope]

Defusing a bomb together, really?

Shirtless Eddie in ep 1. Where have I seen that?

It was Buck indeed. The Buddie fandom is the best. 🕵️

One gone, one to go.

I love it when they parent together. Eddie putting a foot in his mouth there a little and then immediately being the most supportive boyfriend 👨‍❤️‍👨

That whole jello call was awkward as hell. But mental healthy Eddie FTW. And the teasing as a cherry on top.

The Buck and Chris talk? Break my heart, why don't you ❤️‍🩹 Love the way they brought Shannon back. And Ryan acted the hell out of it. As did Oliver and Gavin.

Though they sure brought up the greatest hits of Buck's insecurities. Like father, like son.

if tumblr introduced polls in 2012 there would be a bunch of posts like this

[nos4ay2]

No Troll left behind (no exceptions)

Poppy looked at her Trolls. She had tried so hard to get ahead of the Rock Queens plan, but had been on the back foot from the beginning.

Add in betrayals and an uneven playing field, shed ended up here, in an giant cell with the rest of her people. The enormous circular room was decided into 5 sections, allowing all the other tribes to see each other.

"Queen Poppy?"

She quickly dried her eyes and turned to the group of trollings.

"Yes, Keith?"

The little green trolling shifted back and forth in front of her.

"We've been talking and we don't want to be Rock trolls. And we don't want anyone else to be turned in to Rock trolls either."

Poppy hid a grimace. As soon as Barb figured out that she still had the Pop string in her hair, she doubted there would be much of a choice to be had .

"I know guys. I don't either but as long as Queen Barb doesn't have our sting we should be safe."

Keith stared up at her. And quirked an eyebrow. It was times like this that really showed Branch's influence on the kids. He leaned forward and whispered

"Queen Poppy, we know you have it."

She just barely stopped her self from rearing back.

"I don't.."

"We think you should break it"

It felt like she had been dunked in ice water.

Destroy the Pop string. Destroy the core of their music.

In her silence, Keith continued. "If the string gets broken, then the Rock Queen can't finish her guitar and she can't turn everyone into Rock trolls."

Taking a shuddering breath, she quietly replied, looking the all the trollings of her village, her people.

"But Keith, kids, if I do that we won't have Pop anymore. We won't have music. We won't ever be happy again."

That got a scoff from CJ, standing behind Keith. "We can still be happy. My Dad's Grey and he still gets happy. Isn't Branch sometimes happy too and he's Grey?

Taking a second, she looked around at all her Trolls. Grey wasn't uncommon among the blues, pinks, purple and green. Her tribe had survived horrors the others couldn't even dream about.

She had seen how some of the other tribes were. Whole and sturdy within themselves.

But Pop had had to change over the centuries of captivity. The ability to adapt had always been a core part of them, Pop being the most fluid of music.

But under the stress of yearly (and at the whim of the Head Chef's peckishness) harvest, they had learned to bolster each other.

Going Grey wasn't a sign of shame it had once been. To be Grey and still here, still trying was a sign of strength. The Grey of the village had always been supportive of their colourful families.

Making sure that they were protected, and always loving and being loved in their own ways.

She was proud of her tribe.

And now, the youngest generation, the first generation to be fully born outside the Troll tree and have no grey members, were willing to give up their music so no other tribe would lose theirs.

She was so proud and so heartbreakingly devastated.

A small hand touched her face where she knelt.

Priscilla smiled at her.

"Come on, Queen Poppy, No Troll left behind remember?"

Taking a shaky breath, holding her tears back, she gave a smile in return.

"No troll left behind".

~~~

I mainlined TBGO in like 3 days. Love that show so much. The Trollings are adorable kids. I also wanted to show that its the Pop Trolls as a whole that have changed. Going Grey to the kids isnt a end of the world thing.

They know that the Greys dont sing and do lots of other stuff the colourful members of their tribe do, but they're still part of their tribe. They still love them, still there if the kids need them just like anyone else in the tribe is.

(The Pop trolls have a very 'it takes a village' mentality partly because before 20 years ago it was not uncommon to loose a parent or parents to trollstice, so support system ftw.)

And the kids grew up with that. So loosing their music is sad and they don't want to do it. But they don't want to be Rock Trolls more and this way, the other tribes wont be forced to loose their music to Rock as well.

Smallville 4x03

such an iconic episode, I'm so ready😩 (edit: ignore any typos you might find, I was going through it💀)

NOOOOOOOO THIS IS SO FKN FUNNY PLS LOOK AT THIS MAN'S HAIR I CAN'T BREATHE

Honestly I'm so thankful that not a single one of my schools was like this, it's like everyone just reached an unspoken agreement that bullying was uncool and we'd mind our own business.

needles😬

"Have I told you how much I'm gonna miss you?"

no you haven't but you definitely should, go on😌

*in unison* around where????

HELL YEAH FORCED PROXIMITY FTW

"Come on, do you know how many people would kill to relive their senior year of high school?"

No way in hell, and I had a relatively peaceful experience💀😭

"The last thing I want to be is a reporter."

She would absolutely be perfect but let's get one thing straight: If there's a person on this show who knows when to mind their own fucking business, it's LOIS🤷🏻‍♀️

I mean both Chloe and Lois make valid points, she's 17 and while I totally understand why Abby did it, it really is a bit concerning. Especially considering her mother has been pushing her to do it for the last 3 years😬

I got a comment from a helpful user under my post for last episode (ty🥰), apparently Jason is roughly the same age as Lex?? And he started dating Lana when she was 17?? AND HE'S THE FKN ASSISTANT COACH AT SCHOOL?

Clark wants to try out for the team again🥺

Jonathan let Martha have a job off the farm dude come on, be supportive. YES THANK YOU

omg did he fake his parent's signature on the permission slip???

"...they want people to look at them differently."

he's making points🤷🏻‍♀️

UGH I'm so weak for happy, excited Clark just look at himmm😭🥹

"Maybe if I'd been more patient I would've seen who you really are." EEEEEEEW throw the whole man away🤢

honestly fuck everyone who destroyed her self-esteem to the point where she's flattered bc a crusty man like that shows interest

asjaksjaksj

he's not even denying it-

PLSSSS their faces, especially Lois😭

I LOVE THEM YOUR HONOR

and look at Lois "not interested in journalism" Lane right on the story😌😌😌

I'm connecting some dots here and I don't like ittttt😬😬

"I still can't believe that you have a job at my school."

I feel like Lana has had more personality in these last few episodes than she had in the last 3 seasons combined, so that's great to see.

Lex knowssss👀

OMFG LOIS I LOVE YOU

I'mghfdjfghdj LOIS ARE U FREE ON MONDAY-

look at herrrrr😭 LISTEN IF I HAD CLARK'S POWERS-

I mean I agree that beauty is on the inside but that's very easy to say when you look like a literal angel💀 OOp evil surgery lady just said the same thing I did idk how to feel about that💀💀

I love that they're already establishing little things about her, she's messy, she can't spell etc. (though Chloe sounded a bit passive aggressive in both instances, maybe I'm just reading it wrong tho😬)

"It looks like Lois is one step ahead of us." THAT MAKES ME SO PROUD🥺🥺

Clark saving Lois and then Lois saving Clark is something so personal to me actually-

UGH LOOK AT THEMMMMMM😭

*kicks woman* "Bitch."

her lil smile seeing her article in the torch😭

yesss she has fans as she fucking should😌

(Can I just quickly say that as much as I love Homecoming, they could've had at least ONE person at the reunion remember Lois from high school, watching that shit left permanent scars on my soul, it was so cruel😭 Like come on, if reading her article was a "life changing experience" for some students, it would make total sense for SOMEONE to remember her. (yes I'm super salty and what about it))

FUUUUUUUCK I JUST REALIZED I HIT THE 30 IMAGE LIMIT AND I'M NOT EVEN AT THEE DUNK TANK SCENE😭 (off to delete some of them I guess😭)

omg here it comes

"Come on Lois, didn't those guys at the base teach you anything?" "Wouldn't you like to know."

akasjkasdjak YOU KNOW HE WOULD

they wanna bone so bad it makes them look like absolute fucking clowns there I said it

DOESN'TMATTERCAUSEYOU'REGOINGDOWNTHAT'LLBETHEDAYSKADWNKW can you tell I'm losing my last shred of dignity here

ALTERED MY BRAIN CHEMISTRY CLEARED MY SKIN IMPROVED MY GRADES WALKED MY DOGS ETC THIS SCENE CHANGED MY WHOLE FUCKING LIFE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND-

and Tumblr won't even let me upload my 5732893 screenshots where's the justice😭

[amazingorangedangantrash]

What if Makoto's parents are actually ultimates? Ultimate Sniper and Ultimate Lawyer? The class will probably be like 'everything makes so much sense now.'

I feel like I've heard this theory before but it might be because this ask has been sitting in my inbox for a while so its just giving me deja vu seeing it again.

But yes!

I both like and dislike the idea. On the one hand its really fun, and i love the idea of makoto getting his tenacity and skill from his parents. On the other hand, makoto's "averageness" is exactly what's molded him into the person he is, and taking that away by having his parents be talented, kind of defies the point.

That being said though it IS a really fun idea and I like the thought of his parents secretly being special and no-one knowing about it except the family. The other students find out like "hmm, we can see where the ultimate lawyer comes in, but it seems ultimate sniper didn't really rub off on you?" if only they knew HAHAHA

I also can see either parent taking either role, both are fun. I like the idea of an action mom w the sniper role, for example, especially bc it would mean Komaru went more off her mom (action girls ftw). On the other hand, i like when kids go off their opposite sex parent (idk why i find it so endearing), so the idea of Makoto being more like their mom and Komaru more like their dad is also fun (whereas makoto's truth bullets are in his head, komaru is *actually* shooting at her opponents, so i think its fair to say she's a better shot then he is).

But tysm for this anon, you make me want to see it happen!

I definitely headcanon both parents as raising their kids with good values, without a doubt. I do think the family as a whole is very passionate and does their best to support each other. It makes me sad to remember what happened to them. Wish we got to see more of the Naegi parents.

[starbitgrill]

idk if anyone else shares the same hc but collin is a old trans women to me !! !!! she's the best grandma ever she would take you to pride and if she found out ur parents didn't support you she would beat them up because i think she would be pretty strong and then she would make you cookies and tell you how amazing you are OLD TRANS GRANDMA COLLIN FTW

[hughungrybear]

Me while watching Home School Episode 9:

1. So, is Master Dilak a former student who was successfully "re-programmed" (similar to what they did to Hugo, Jingjai, and Run)?

2. Well, Mek and Mork, I got news for you - Dad loves neither of you. He doesn't even love your Mom. Unfortunately, he is just a sh*tty parent with an overall sh*tty personality.

3. Oh, no. If locking the Fab FourTM (Maki, White, Nai, and Tibet) in detention is part of Master Champ's ploy to seed chaos with GEN6, I fear for my babies, Pennhung and Phleng. The rest, I could care less lol.

4. Why do I feel like the Headmaster (played by Cindy) would eventually go against Master Amin? I just can't figure out yet if she will switch sides to support the students or will she be a more nefarious villain? Maybe Master Amin is not as villainous as he seems to be 🤔🤔🤔

5. Mek and Mork asking the right questions: what kind of parents would send their kids to a school with no known curriculum and a million baht-per-term tuition?

6. Pennhung, my child, please also store other food groups. You need more than croissants to last this hellhole 😅

7. Oh gods. Hugo and Jingjai. I share Jean's reaction during the "fight" 😅😅😅 At least, they are still flirty with each other even though we still have no idea whatever the f— Master Amin did to them as punishment for coupling.

8. I might be riding the Fuji hate train, but gods damn. Girl knows how to end a fight lol. Sorry, Jean.

9. Nooooo, Baby Phleng 😭😭😭 Biw, don't make me smack you. <after 10 seconds> Okay, we're good. All too well because I like Pringkhing ever since The Shipper.

10. Nooooo, Baby Pennhung 😭😭😭😭 Mek, I swear, if you hurt Pennhung I WILL SMACK YOU. <after 10 seconds> Oh gods, I AM OFFICIALLY IN LOVE WITH MEK. Solidarity, ftw. Shut up, Master Champ.

11. I'm starting to think Home School is either an unconventional juvenile centre or a freaking school for future assassins (judging by Run's abilities and his morbid past of killing their dad).

12. Sorry, but if the Fab Four had started kneeling before lunch all the way to sun down, how cold is that tea that the Head Master is sipping? Or did somebody replenish the hot tea (and pastries) all through the day? And with all that tea sipping, didn't she feel the need to pee? Just curious lol.

13. I'm dying to know what Master Dilak's deal is. Also, based on MDL, this series has 18 episodes (unless they got it wrong again like in Midnight Museum). So, the class planning their escape next episode is hardly the climax, but I do hope they start revealing the truth about Home School.

On to the next episode then 😊

[lyricfulloflight]

9-1-1 Rewatch

Season 5, Episode 2: Desperate Times

Of course Buck doesn't want to wait for equipment (it should be noted no one else waited either).

Eddie almost crashed to the ground in a helicopter and didn't panic. He's totally fine (this is what Eddie tells himself so doubt).

Harry Grant, entrepreneur.

Still find it hard to believe sometimes the it takes 4 days for anyone to know what happened to Detective Ransone. Atehna clearly feels the same. Even more unbelievable is the fact that no one noticed a prisoner just wasn't in his cell!

I love when Buck has a clipboard. Power tzar Buck is wonderful (sorry Chim).

Chris arrives - seriously makes me smile whenever Buck picks him up in a huge bear hug. Eddie almost has another panic attack because Ravi thinks Ana is his wife. Who notices - Buck.

Of course Buck knows all the facts about the zoo. He and Chris must have an annual membership. And then the Eddie grin - swoon worthy stuff.

Until this episode I had no idea alpacas could or would attack. So thanks for that.

Jurassic Park references FTW!

Such a lovely moment of neighbourly support and quick thinking by May.

Buck and the clipboard is back. As is he's checking in on Eddie. Also his revelation about being in a relationship where the other person isn't really all the way in the way you are - so a good moment, but also so tough to hear. I feel like Buck had had a lot of relationships where he's felt like he isn't enough and this might be the closest he ever comes to voicing that feeling out loud (aside from his parents).

Poor Maddie.

Athena and Bobby rushing home. Another cliff hanger ending.

This it's pride month, let me just say how happy I am that Granblue has so many gays of different flavours

And our trans icons

And Jesus literally supporting gender fluid rights

It's just really nice

Happy pride, Gbf fans

YEAH RIGHT.

Honestly it's genuinely so nice the amount of characters who fall in these categories to start with. It's honestly so so so nice.

And with our trans icons and our nonbinary icons in more recent years too (and Orologia our genderfluid parent ftw) all while yeah Jesus going "binary sucks, gender fluid is the way to the future" is like. thank you granblue for all of this.

Happy pride

(sorry this is so fugking long aksjsjshjsjsksbsv) when I originally saw the "gar had pushed himself to get up and functional enough to fight against Deathstroke, but is now shutting down from the physical and emotional trauma of the situation" angle from that recent comic (baby cow gar ftw, I won't stop thinking about it) I thought it would be interesting to have him completely mute and not all there, refusing to turn back human in front of anyone but the people he loves and trusts most (he sits with Vic all the time, curled up as a small creature that can be cuddled until he can be his own form and be tucked under his best friend's protective arm, Kory carries him and he hides in her hair or she floats with him so he can be out of reach when he needs the space and once he's in his human form she sits with him giving him the touch he's so starved of through hand holding and hugs, dick gets to talk to him through his long hours about anything and everything so they both can ground themselves and he surprises them both when he turns back and they just keep going) with Raven he turns into small birds that can perch on her shoulder or longer animals that can drape around her neck (it's winter and she gets cold and he can't be the one letting her lean on him for warmth, he's thinking small because he feels so unsafe, it's why he was small when his parents-) the only time he's taking his own form for longer than a few minutes is to make her tea, giving it to her while she snuggles in one of his hoodies, pressing a grateful kiss to her hair when she doesn't press him to stay that way or talk and they sit together (they do that even when he's feeling better and more anchored in his fragile, fallible, all too human form) Also gar for sure has some form of dissociative disorder (source: I have a dissociative disorder and he's my blorbo) and Raven has anxiety, depression and pretty intense anhedonia as a byproduct of her childhood trauma, so they spend their years of figuring things out before getting together learning to be the best support they can be to each other while they're going through their episodes (hope this all makes sense 😖)

YESSSSSSSSS YES YES YES I LOVE THIS.... HES SO... THEYRE SO... GAH

Also gar having a dissociative disorder so true bestie so true (god knows he has enough trauma to develop one after all, I'd be more surprised if he DIDNT) and nonverbal gar.... yeah.... YEAH..... (im partially nonverbal and that. yeah. good)

luckily if he needs to communicate, he and most of the team know at least enough ASL to get by until he feels ready to talk again, but sometimes even that is too much for him and thats okay too

i love this boy... this poor traumatized man... im gonna make him warm soup and wrap him up in a million blankets and give him a kiss on the head 😭😭😭

idk if it’s the systemic fatphobia, ableism, intersexism, the horrible downfall of google’s utility as a search engine, or all of the above,

but literally any given part of my body, I can look through hundreds of images in all kinds of searches ranging from “earlobe” to “fat scrunched up earlobe with crease” (for example of how descriptive the searches range) and genuinely can never find someone whose body part that has the traits of mine

genitalia and/or secondary sex characteristics? nope. ears? nope. hands/fingers? nope. skin? nope. toes? nope. moles? nope. Almost anything about my body

like there’s so many parts of my body that are just different from everyone I know, often including my parents and siblings as people who don’t share it, so I don’t always expect it to be a harmless genetic trait

“ask a doctor” is useless advice. 1) I am already a genuine medical disaster and constantly seeing doctors, running them over appointment time constraints every time, and still not leaving satisfied regarding questions I have about the much more urgent thing the appointment was for. 2) my doctor is 2 hours away by car bc closer doctors genuinely will not even try to treat me anymore. rural healthcare ftw! also can’t drive anymore due to health stuff. 3) even my doctor 2 hours away has a tendency to just shrug and say “I haven’t seen a [body part] like that before, but it doesn’t raise any alarm bells” when I DO (rarely) get a chance to slip in one of these questions. 4) I already have to use my patient portal messaging so often already for urgent/new things that like, since he’s part of a big hospital system, all my specialists can see those messages and poke fun at me for using the messaging so much & sometimes even label me a hypochondriac or worse (refusing to take me seriously in suspicion of unnecessary hypochondria &/or munchausens/factitious disorder)

im a biologist (though much more ecology focused) so im not totally out of my realm with my concerns. I know enough to know there is an infinite amount of stuff unknown about the human body. what if some of these weird little quirks about my body are signs of something else that is known, where these signs haven’t been documented/proven or are otherwise outside of the knowledge of my providers? what if they’re signs of something that ISN’T known? this part I could see being labeled as hypochondria at least; however, I am not panicking down this line of thinking often, it’s just a response my brain brings up when I cannot find any information at all supporting whether my various body quirks are normal, safe, common, etc and especially when I don’t get taken seriously when I just want a little educated affirmation that my body is safe????

don’t even get me started when it comes to people being rude about bodily differences. I typically hide so much of my body to avoid that. im lucky that many of my little quirks can be easily and/or subtly hidden.

idk this is just a rant don’t take it too seriously but good lird I am so fucking insecure about my body (not insecure about my weight anymore— don’t assume weight when I say body pls thanks)

also my dads side of the family idk what happened but his family all have several medical mysteries and unfindable body quirks so some part of me does wonder if there’s some strange genetic thing going on with his side of the family that just has not been discovered and/or none of our doctors ever even consider it. another annoying part about this is when a doc takes a medical history they rarely ever wanna hear SHIT about anything that isn’t firmly diagnosed on paper but w/e
