"Oh you came from a nuclear family" I announce, squinting heavily at the bonding speenrun I clicked on expecting a slowburn
#Jaymeow speaks#is it rude? probably#but listen#some of you have not actually had to deal with sudden new siblings and it shows#“Apple you write the same things”#yeah but I recognize it's inaccurate#and also sometimes do it right#“oh babies aren't that bad”#mhm sure#and the sixteen year old with a drug abuse issue that no one can figure out how to help?#The 14yo who already struggled sharing her parent and now has to share with more people and is constantly breaking down because of it?#the 22yo who only comes by for family dinners and could hate everyone or love everyone and the rest of us wouldn't even know?#the 12yo? the 17yo?#maybe this is on the wrong blog but I write more family stuff here#A piece of paper declaring a relation doesn't do much#that takes WORK#ted talk over thank you

hopeless time loop. the way out isn’t to save everyone. the way out isn’t to save even one person. the way out isn’t to change anything. the way out is accepting how it happened the first time is how it always will be. that’s how you acted, that’s how they acted, that’s how you would have acted every time if you weren’t given the curse of hindsight. the way out is accepting you can’t fix the past; you can only forgive yourself for it.
#there's this game i love called little hope that plays with these ideas (though not with a time loop)#i do love time loops narratives that explore how a person is confronted with their life and their choices#when forced to live the same day over and over again#and i LOVE time loops that try to reverse mistakes made and lives lost#but to see a character put themselves through loops upon loops upon loops#trying to rectify past mistakes (especially in the case where people died) only to be confronted with the reality it isn't working#and even in a loop where they save everyone the loop just resets#because the universe is essentially saying 'no that isn't how it happened and you know that's not how it happened'#it compels me!#i feel similarly about time travel where time 'fights back'#like this idea that there is a central timeline that time does not like being diverted from#so it will try to course correct itself#you save lincoln from an assassination only for him to die in a train crash#it's a cool way to confront the idea of fate#anyway all tragedies are hopeless time loops thank you for coming to my ted talk#a shout into the void#1k#5k#10k

yknow what really gets me? the fact that we all seem to think that robin doesn’t enjoy jock things. while she’s canonically seen enjoying and cheering at the basketball game in s4 and more importantly, SHE PLAYS SOCCER!!!! she literally says so in s3?!!!! don’t come at me with your “robin is a music nerd ONLY” because she’s so much more than that!! and we should explore soccer player robin in fics bc i’m pretty sure whoever you ship her with will have an aneurysm watching her play soccer
#robin buckley#thanks for coming to my ted talk#you can like soccer and you can like music and nerd shit#the two are not mutually exclusive#she can bond with eddie over music and weird movies#and she can also watch sports games with steve#sorry i’m in my robin feelings today

It’s disability pride month, you know what that means, you are now legally obligated to make all of your favorite characters disabled
#i’ll go first#the whole galligang has autism#narvin is also deaf and heals slower than other time lords because he lacks regeneration energy (I mean I think I’d count that itself as a#disability on gallifrey)#also the eighth doctor has chronic migraines and a dissociative disorder#thank you for coming to my ted talk#there are probably more characters but I just got home from work and am tired#disability#disability pride#disabled headcanon#there’s also my ocs one of which is partially blind and an amputee#and another who is nonverbal#although they both are time lords so the first one gets his leg and sight back through regeneration#but I’ve decided his regeneration energy is also a bit fucked (he was born on a slightly broken loom) so he gets the leg back over a few#regenerations instead of just one

Can confirm: Xavier is our garbage disposal boyfriend
#love and deepspace#love and deepspace xavier#lnds ; messages#imagine going on a date with him#and you order whatever sounds interesting#whatever you don't like or can't finish#you just pass it over to xavier#i would also like to think xavier is the type to present two menu options to a waiter and ask which has more serving#and then just order whatever has more food#like taste is probably secondary to him#he just wants a large quantity of food#thank you for coming to my ted talk

Walking into a yarn shop like it's an art museum. Admiring all the colorways and textures of the various skeins. Nodding my head at the tasteful displays of handmade items by the local knitting/crochet group to demonstrate the different yarn brands. Talking to the owner to learn more about the local fiber art scene and learning about different dyers, and crafters in the area that I would have never found on the internet. Buying one too many skeins to continue my pursuit of creating beautiful things to bring joy into mine and others lives. My way of paying homage to this wonderland of fibrous beauty.
Fucking glorious.
#my local yarn store will be the death of my bank account#but seriously most of the time i just like going to this yarn shop a few towns over just to look at the yarn and admire it#it's a nice little cozy place and i love it for the space it is#side note: support local businesses if you can and fuck the big box stores#thanks for coming to my ted talk#crochet#knitting#fiber crafts#fiber art#yarn#yarnblr#knitblr

You Should Be Here With Me
A 2024 Advent Fic by lululawrence
The festive period is a traditionally hectic one in the world of Premier League football, and this year is no different. A lot is riding on how Manchester United is able to come through the fixtures in the coming weeks.
Louis and his teammates know all too well the pressure that is on their shoulders. They need to prove, not just to fans of the club but the entire league, that they still have what it takes to be a team worthy of fighting for the top of the table.
Throw in the fact that Louis is all too aware that he's not getting any younger in a profession that demands your peak physical fitness year round and the incredibly fit Harry Styles, who is part of the club's social media team, and this year's festive period might just be the most important one yet.
🎄Coming December 1st! 🎄
#my fic post#advent fic#teaser post#2024 advent fic#fic rec#you guys i have this entire thing plotted out in detail#and i've got most of the first five days written so far#hopefully will get more written over the next few days so i'm not writing the chapters the day of or anything... if all goes well...#please send me good vibes that stress is not how i like to live#but i sure will if i have to#anyway all that to say#this fic... is going to be long#so i apologize ahead of time for the length of the chapters as we go on lol#but hopefully it's a story that you will be just as into as i am#haha#thanks for coming to my ted tags talk

White chrysanthemums for grief, lavenders for devotion 🌸
#venti#genshin impact#genshin#genshin venti#art#I've looked at this for so long that I see mistakes everywhere gsjdgskhdjd#did y'all know adding noise to a drawing triples the file size? I didn't until now#I've missed drawing flowers <3#shrews art#I think a core part of Venti's character is the grief he holds for all that he's lost over his thousands of years long life#spiced up with some survivor's guilt mayhaps#another core part tho is the devotion he has and the lengths to which he'd go for the things/people important to him <3#thank you for coming to my ted talk have a lovely day :D

Ok class repeat after me:
It's ok to like evil and "problematic" characters.
They're not real, they haven't hurt anyone
Their victims are not real either, nobody is hurt
They're merely a vehicle for storytelling and entertainment
There is no need to tear other characters down to justify their actions
They're not you. Them being wrong or bad is not you being wrong or bad
There is no need to make up arbitrary rules and moral codes to justify your taste in fiction
Their fictional actions and morals have nothing to do with the real actions and morals of real people
The only hurt parties are the people affected by your negative and aggressive behavior
#on villains#fiction#fandom#fandom problems#fandom wankery#the difference between reality and fiction is normally something kids learn but alas...#yes this is going both ways for villain fans who will defend everything and anything and tear everyone else down#and the purity police who thinks liking an evil character makes you an evil person#rant over#thank you for coming to my ted talk

Hopefully there's some Bridgerton fans here:
You know how each season has that one confession scene. I know people would hc Jason as saying Anthony's "Your the bane of my existence and the object of all my desires" but I firmly believe he'd be on that farmer George shit.
"I love you! From the mo- from the moment I saw you try to go over the wall. I have loved you desperately. I cannot breathe when you are not near, I love you, (your name lol). My heart calls your name..."
#No cause having an argument with someone and they yell out they love you is so Jason Todd core.#Which is why I think he'd say the farmer George one🤌 thank you for coming to my ted talk🤝#ex: idk let's say he's being to over protective and it's starting to piss you off#You: Why? Why are you being so difficult? So fucking stubborn! Your suffocating me! Why are you doing this?!#Jason: Because I love you!.. because I love you and I just want you to be safe! God I just want you to be safe..I wouldn't..#I wouldn't be able to handle and we're gonna stop there I'm literally still on the clock and this won't end if I keep it up#inspo#jason todd x reader#should I tag that?

Addicted to the idea of an ex!convict geto who is on the run. You married him young at the fresh age of 19 in Vegas, only for him to ‘abandon’ your marriage never to be seen again. Nearly 4 years have passed and you’re now a moderately prestigious singer at mafia!gojo’s club, the blue dragon.
audiences stack up on weekends until Satoru introduces you to an associate of his called Kento. He’s tall, handsome, and mature in ways you didn’t know you wanted or needed. After a few visits to the club, he asks you out for dinner. A relationship instantly clicked with the businessman that suddenly everyone knew you were his. Until a mysterious letter appears on your doorstep one day. Attached is a familiar pink ribbon and all black lighter.
“My men wouldn’t do that,” your now boyfriend shakes his head. “No one knows about him but me.”
“Ken, you’re the only one to know about him. No one knows about him except you and Satoru. So please, if this is a prank, tell me.”
“I’m quite offended you think I would casually play with the emotions of the woman I have invested all my time in.” He says, “I’ll go talk to Satoru if he knows anything, but it’s for the best if you cancel tonight’s show.” You pull away from the protective hold he has on your waist and hiss. “I won’t cancel a show. Tonight’s the premiere, a lot of Satoru’s clients have invested thousands in tonight’s event.”
“Cancel it,” your blond partner whispers, “I’ll pay the difference, stay the night at my-“ but your agitated nature makes you turn him down.
“I said no! I’ll continue the show, and you can’t say anything about it. It’s my career, kento. And you can’t decide when to sing for me.”
He should have known it had to do with your hyper independence, your need to still depend on your own income after depending on what Nanami considered a reaction of yours after your relationship with a cowardly no good for nothing scum bag who left his wife.
After his disappearance, search warrants for him went on the national level until his presence was declared inconclusive 3 weeks later. Months later, it was rumored he was found dead.
But no body was found.
Now in tonight’s stage, everyone is dressed in the 9’s, with kento leaning against a wall with crossed arms, looking over the audience as you sing prettily. That is until you see a dark figure, long black hair with a familiar silver wedding band on his fourth finger. What sets him apart is the drink on the table.
Suguru.
(wrote this part one and this part two as a result^)
#I’m sleep deprived I should delete this but I’ve had this idea for over a year I need to post about this in order to shut up#so suguru didn’t die but he’s back#and his now ex wife is with a protective kento#it’s so messy I’m sorry but someone please understand the concept of mf#it#***IT#jeez#okay that’s it thank you for coming to my Ted talk#gojo#geto#Nanami#kento#Nanami kento#geto suguru#gojo satoru#jjk#jujutsu kaisen#mafia Nanami#mafia kento

wormie wormie wormie wormi-
#tiny little guy!!! teeny thing!!!#i imagine that wormie acts kinda like a cat mixed with a crow#also she Violently wiggles her whole body when she sees barnaby. thank you for coming to my ted talk#fully convulsing. acting as though she's jello in a centrifuge#and she Does Not Stop until she is held so barnaby has to figure out how to pick her up w/o hurting her#its very amusing in my mind... hes laughing his ass off as she flops all over the place#she doesnt make noise except for very brief quiet squeaks!!#also wormie is not technically female. no one knows what the fuck she is if anything#but barnaby started referring to her with feminine terms and it Stuck#kinda like finding a cool object and going 'oh she's neat'#yeah like that!#wormie lore hidden in the fantasy au...#scribble salad#wh fantasy au#im melting picturing barnaby holding her by the 'handle'#he commissioned the harness himself... made out of the same leather as his gloves! & the same etched design as his boots!#guys im so soft thinking about them.... barnaby and his little pet worm...#i imagine he teaches her tricks... carries her on his hat.... baby talks her cause she's just that tiny how could he not....#im picturing a Scenario where barnaby full speed full force bodyslams eddie who was just walkin along#like Full Force. eddie flies back ten feet and leaves a groove in the dirt when he lands - everyone goes Hey What The Fuck Barn?!#but as soon as he does it barnaby is rushing over like 'omfg im so sorry but i had to - you were about to step on wormie'

(...but what if I was?)
Li Lianhua / Li Xiangyi | Mysterious Lotus Casebook (2023)
#mysterious lotus casebook#li lianhua#li xiangyi#lhl#my mlc gifs#thanks to the folks who helped weigh in on that last gif!#specifically thank you to:#the-surreptitious-albatross#lianxiaojie#and an apology...#to our dear a-fei#for including him in this gifset#I still believe that the feihua relationship is one of the most devastating tragedies of this show#because of the way that di feisheng grows subtly but significantly over the course of the show#and he comes SO CLOSE to loving and accepting llh/lxy for who he is and who he always was#and maybe he in fact DOES get to this point internally#but his last words to llh are inviting him to fight him like times of old#showing (in llh's eyes at least) a regression to their previous selves#a “self” that maybe llh feels he never actually was#which is why I specifically wanted a feihua scene in that last gif to juxtapose with the more obvious shan gudao scene#the subtext of that feihua scene is very sexy of them (I am looking disrespectfully)#but the text of the scene is brutal and tragic:#as di feisheng violently lashes out at li lianua for his perceived weaknesses#and while llh's initial reaction was at most faintly irritated up until that point#you can see that spark of genuine hurt and sadness in his gaze as dfs holds him at arms length#anyway this has been “things about mlc that make me want to tear my hair out at 3AM”#thank you for coming to my ted talk
