I just think it's adorable when Arrietty rides Sho's shoulder. And I ship them (and have written several fics shipping them). They're already friends, so maybe shipping them romantically would be friends to lovers?

All I knew were novels. It gave me pause, for a moment, that all my reference points were fiction, that all my narratives were lies.

Chapter 3: caught (the borrower)

Oliver began to panic, his head darting around trying to find any way of escape even though he knew inside that he was doomed. he had been seen, talked in the Prescence of a human, and been caught by said human, all in one night. Boy was he a lucky guy.

terrified of everything that was happening Oliver resolved to curl in on himself, hugging his knees like his life depended on it. he herd the humans muffled voice talking, but Oliver was too busy having a panic attack.

the air was quickly wasting with Oliver's frantic breaths. with the lack of oxygen, Oliver began to get light headed. he tried as herd as he could to keep his eyes open but with the stress of the situation, and his breathing so labored, Oliver slowly slipped into unconsciousness.

Later, Oliver stirred, he felt terrible, his head ached and his leg felt broken. he felt soft ground beneath him that was emitting a pleasant warmth. he herd a voice somewhere above him but it was obscured by a sharp ringing in his head.

something large and stiff, but soft, touched his leg were it was injured and Oliver's eyes shot open as he curled up in pain.

then it all came back to him, what had happened. panicked he looked around himself, to his horror, he saw the humans enormous face just feet away from him.

Oliver screamed and scrambled back wide eyed, until something hit his back on something soft. Oliver's head whipped back to see the humans enormous digits surrounding him everywhere. Oliver freaked, he looked around frantically, then saw a gap in the humans fingers. Oliver quickly leapt up and threw himself over the edge.

as soon as he did though, he instantly regretted it. Filled with virago as plummeted down to the about 50 feet of a drop to the ground and was falling at an alarming speed. Oliver braced for impact but it didn't come. instead Oliver landed on the familiar fleshy platform that curled around him upon impact.

Oliver was lifted up close to the humans enormous face and could see as it studied him closely with a look of....concern? no he must be imagining this.

"**ease be o*ay" it muttered with a look of sympathy.

Oliver was still shook from the near death fall he had just been saved from. he was shaking vigorously when the human spoke again.

'a*e yo* oka*?" he asked in concern. Oliver looked himself over. he was most certainly not fine, he had a sprained leg which was bruised, he felt his head and flinched when he felt the rathe large bump, on top of that his heat thumped repeatedly.

Oliver's vision began to blur. the world began to sway uncontrollably around him, he herd a thunk and then blackness.

So there’s a trend going round where you draw Miku inspired by your own culture and normally I just sit those out bc i’m from England but then the image of her covered in fake tan with the full chav makeup and sloppily bleached blue pigtails popped into my head and i almost threw up laughing. So here’s bri’ish Miku. She smells like impulse body spray and spent the last 30 minutes arguing with the teacher who told her to take her coat off. It’s chewsday innit

edit: i fucked up with the cigarette i know it’s the wrong way round blease stop making fun of me 😔💔

So... I have... opinions... on Arrietty by Ghibli that I suspect would make me an outcast in both the G/T community and the Ghibli community.

Want to hear the main one I have?

"Brain damage" only sounds like a harsh and offensive way to describe brain injuries because people constantly use it as an insult. It's a totally neutral descriptor of what it is. I have brain damage. My brain is damaged. It's not ableist to call it that, it's ableist to call people you don't like brain damaged because you think it's an inherently bad thing to be.

(Yes abled bodied neurodivergents, that includes you)

There were probably too many exclamation points, but I couldn’t bear to erase them. I wanted to take shelter behind their manic enthusiasm, their idiotic sparkle.
