Astarion is only real around you.

More in my head only canons about this seemingly simple conundrum of an elf. Contains some game spoilers.

Astarion is only "real" around you. And by real, I mean his true personality as he regains it.

Trust clearly goes a long way with him and if you befriended or romanced him, you've earned it and that is no small thing.

One hidden truth being that he is capable of caring. Something that got him into one hell of a predicament in the past that makes him reject that aspect of himself.

However, you were a complication he did not see coming.

Around the group he is guarded. More resting bitch face and flippant retorts. Most of the banter he has with the party reflects this. His answers are mostly deflective or avoidant.

Lae'zel: "The more I learn of this plane Astarion, the more I believe love is its greatest disease."

Astarion: "Oh, I don't know. The screaming fever is pretty bad."

( I laughed till I had a headache when I heard this the first time.)

Trauma armor : People can't hurt you, if you offer no weapons. So he makes it seem he is aloof and unmoved under the mask of sass.

But as time progresses he shows you that hidden part more often.

For example, his comment about he noticed how kindly you speak to him and about not selling yourself so short in the conversation after his siblings attack. Which to me translated to "Don't speak about yourself as if you are not a unicorn amongst jackasses you abnormally wonderful person." Or the Dark Urge speech where he tells you he is not afraid of you and is by your side no matter what. He's genuine, soft and giving full eye contact in those statements. Its just you and him and he's confident and forward. But wouldn't dare show such vulnerability with the others. Such as when you meet Araj in act 3 (Spawnstarion) he still expresses his concern about not wanting you hurt, but it comes out like its uncomfortable to express.

The difference? People are around. And it's not that he's ashamed. But it proves he has a soft spot for you and he learned that is dangerous information in the hands of others. So the armor goes back on.

Even a the epilogue party, he genuinely wants his friends happy. But he still keeps his distance and instead grouses about the lack of blood.

Which was kind of rude on Withers’ part. Really you dusty rag? You obviously made a stop at a butcher shop.

Anyway...

I like to think Astarion info dumps Gale style when you are alone together after a day of adventuring.

Him telling you excitedly about something he witnessed or learned. His face animated with the memory of how he felt about it. His hands gesturing wildly to make his point. Or laughing so hard at a mishap he has to wipe tears off his face. Or contemplating how each companions' are doing amidst their own plights.

You: "Aww, I can't wait to tell Gale you are worried about him."

Astarion: "Pft..you can try my love. But, thanks to my hard work, he would never believe you."

|BREAKING: HAZBIN SEASON 2 LEAKS FLOOD THE INTERNET!|

You heard right folks! There was a breach at A24 and Spindlehorse toons resulting in almost the entirety of season two being leaked onto several platforms but mainly Tik tok. While something similar happened last year when Hell's Greatest Dad got leaked, this time it was to a much greater scale, including several songs, animation clips, and more spoilers than imaginable.

Yes, this is disastrous for Spindlehorse and the entirety of Hazbin Hotel as show. In fact, we're lucky that Hazbin hasn't been dropped from Amazon all together. A lot of times when a breach this big happens, the show just get cancelled, but Amazon has stated that their legal team is trying their best to clean this up and find the perpetrator who did this.

However, the leaks are spreading like wildfire and the amount of views and shares is growing by the minute. The best thing that is fans and viewers can do is NOT SHARE. DO NOT SHARE. DO NOT WATCH IF YOU CAN HELP IT! AND REPORT REPORT REPORT! If you come across spoilers of ANY kind—for example, footage, song clips, fanart—REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY AND GET IT TAKEN DOWN.

Now, you might say, "but spoilers aren't a big deal! I wanna know what happens!" Believe me, we are all excited for the next season, but we need to find out what happens the RIGHT way. I will not be sharing exactly what was leaked because I do not want to feed the fire, but the leaks released kind of ruin the show cuz a) they don't make sense cuz they are just random bits and pieces and b) it makes it a lot harder for Spindlehorse to even keep the show and fandom going. We are extremely lucky that Amazon is even keeping the show, please PLEASE help Spindlehorse keep it that way!

According to Spindlehorse, they believe that the person who leaked the footage was actually someone either on their team or on A24, in other words, this was an inside job. Whoever did this had full intention of sabotaging the success of this show from within, either to serve their own nefarious purposes or someone else's. Currently we don't have any more information on it, but hopefully Amazon's legal team can find the culprit and punish them accordingly.

Okay, so, some footage got leaked. What's the big deal? Well, I didn't go that in depth as to the real effects of the leak earlier, but I will do so now. First of all, it's one of the biggest breaches a show has seen in a WHILE. Including hundreds of shots, MULTIPLE musical numbers, and character reveals that were not planned drops. What does this mean exactly? Well for starters, we probably won't be seeing any more con teasers or sneak peeks. Remember the Baxter teaser? Yeah, that probably won't be happening again. Second of all, I have already seen the fandom start to slowly fall apart on Tik Tok, hundreds of videos talking about how angry they are, not just about the show being spoiled in the first place, but the content of the spoilers themselves. People are already saying how furious they are about the twists and turns the show is taking, without even considering the fact that these leaks don't even contain the full context. Third of all, as the leaks spread and fanart and edits and cosplays of the spoilers flood the internet, the likelihood of Hazbin growing in popularity and hype with the release of season two grows slim. Nobody will be super excited about the "big reveals" next season because they've already been spoiled. Yes, this is pretty disastrous, not just to Hazbin as a cartoon, but to the fandom as well.

That is why we must take action! We must aid Spindlehorse and Amazon in the clean up by not sharing the spoilers. We must aid them by not creating fanart or edits or reaction vids or cosplays of spoilers either. We must aid them by reporting these videos and getting them taken down. We can save Hazbin, but we have to work together.

If anyone sees this post, please share. Please help stop this madness and keep things that should be secret, secret.

As much as I enjoy reading a few fanfics featuring pit madness, I really hate when people use that as the cause of Jason’s issues with Bruce.

Because like… Jason has every right to be pissed. He died and it changed nothing. The Joker still is wreaking havoc, and Batman is still chasing him with a Robin by his side. He was tortured, beaten, then murdered and Bruce still refuses to just kill the Joker. While we the audience can understand why Bruce doesn’t kill, if I was Jason, I’d be livid. He really doesn’t need some magical insta rage thing to justify his crimes or his anger. To me, it just takes away Jason’s agency and makes his character hollow.

Part of the reason he’s so enjoyable is because he is so personal to Batman. He is “Batman’s greatest failure”. A happy child who died to a severe act of violence, and whose death ultimately meant nothing.

Saying the whole reason he is angry, wants revenge, and wants to change Gotham is just because of pit madness is just… boring? Insulting, almost?

I read this three times and still can barely see how you missed the point so terribly and normally I would correct you kindly but this is not an academic space and this is about the honor of lesbians so claws open, friend.

OP didn’t mention sex. OP mentioned women. I didn’t mention sex. I mentioned lesbians.

Only you brought up sex. You saw the word lesbian and your mind jumped to sex. Put your angry typing thumbs down and examine that.

Now either you’ve blocked me, tuned me out, or maybe you’re still reading. Comprehension, that’s sexy of you. We can work with that.

OP from reasonable assumption, was discussing the phenomenon of people who primarily drift toward male characters but have internalized misandry beating them out of shape cuz how could anything masculine be positive? We need to feminize him. Here warps the misandry into misogyny as you see tumblr users turning “post your favorite female character” posts into “well, he’s a woman to me.” Hence frustration, especially because often times character traits seen as charitable and tropable in male characters are received with annoyance or hatred when seen in female characters. If you’re still paying attention, what’s your favorite color? Hence OPs point.

I, picking up on this context, could see where OP is coming from. The internet do be misogynistic. The internet also struggles with shame around liking men. A lot of spaces are one skip away from transmisogynist rhetoric, it’s concerning. Anywho, as someone who rarely sees this problem off the internet I offered a positive to the vent.

A little tongue in cheek but also great fucking advice. Because if you’re sick of people putting male characters on a pedestal there’s nothing like a lesbian to reinstate your faith in feminist approaches to media. Not because they have “temporary desires” (also what are you smoking?? cuz I get that I’m demi but you’re the first person aside from cis men named Brad I’ve heard call any feeling toward a woman a temporary desire.) but because however sick the average person might be of the gender gap in media, lesbians are more sick of it. Google “heteronormativity,” talk to anyone about the exhaustion of having men thrown at you when you’ve dedicated yourself to a lifestyle based on who you are as a person that specifically centers women. As people. Cuz lesbians are people. Repeat that for me if you’re listening.

Regarding the quotation you’ve put…(which, no clue where you got that from? Like genuinely did you reblog from the wrong post by mistake? If so feel free to delete this and block me cuz this would be very funny content if the dignity of my fellow dykes. Like I was upsetty for a second but this is the second most amusing tumblr mix up I’ve gotten so no hard feelings) you seem to be under the assumption that I don’t like lesbians?? Or that people who lesbians aren’t attracted to cant like lesbians?? Which is weird cuz lesbians are objectively cool af. And my ace gf is a lesbian who I’m very attracted to so…again I don’t know where you’re drawing your sparks from.

Tbh I don’t blame you if you haven’t gotten this far. My brain is on tired mode and your response was so off target that this is less even about responding to you and more my adhd hyperfixating on close reading your text in some futile attempt to see what straws you were grasping. I haven’t had time to get to my sociology tbr and I don’t have an essay due till next week so this was genuinely engaging for my brain. I can’t solve the puzzle of what mistake you made but maybe you have so rejoice to that. OP sorry this is on your post I do not know where they came from but I think I’ve shooed them off lol.

Anywho. Why are you still reading. Despite my greatest efforts I am not a lesbian. I’m an equally sexy dyke but not the same kind. Now go befriend a lesbian! This person is stalling for some reason but you don’t have to. Go talk about how Kylo Ren would have been more engaging if he was written as a woman. Go talk about how Faith Lehane deserved better. Go talk about how Harrowhark is trying her very best and needs a hug but please ask before touching.

And remember the three tenants:

1. Be respectful to lesbians. Implying they’re only about women for the sex is a harmful homophobic stereotype. Also if it were true my besties would be dating but we have a bookclub group chat where they perform literary analysis over fictional instead of flirting. Maybe this poster shouldn’t talk to them if you’re gonna be offensive. They’re busy reading.

2. If you want a meaningful relationship with anyone using terms like “temporary desires” is not a way to do it. “Oh but I don’t do that romance or sex stuff” ok but you can try doing the empathy and common sense stuff. Other people won’t find your dismissal of their sexuality “a flex.” It will make finding friends hard

3. If you’re having trouble explaining a point…maybe the point isn’t ready to be out yet. Don’t embarrass yourself by butting into a conversation that’s nothing to do with the frustration in your head. If you don’t like explaining things, or drawing off of actual sources, go to twitter. This might not be the site for you. There are a lot of lesbians here (ooo espooky) and women who know how to read (eee scary) and like to befriend each other (le gasppp) it can be a lot 😔 <- this is irony btw

"he's like a woman to me!!!" not true because if he was a woman to you you wouldn't give a fuck about him

— bf!kyle who… is surprisingly good at surfing, often dragging you along to the cold louisiana beaches in the winter (when he claims the waves are the best) - admittedly, watching his wet muscles glisten as you brush the damp hair off of his forehead to taste his salty lips made freezing on the shore completely worth it.

— bf!kyle who… once tried to put your hair into a ponytail for you, insisting he could do one perfectly, only to get his fingers literally tied into it: “i-i didn’t think it was that hard! thought you just, like… twist it ‘nd… wrap the- yeah, i don’t know,” with a look of shame.

For any nonhumans struggling with species dysphoria, I want to help you all as much as I can. I've been experiencing it all week. It can be quite exhausting and put you in a lot of distress, in my case. X(

Here are some tips I'd recommend to help:

1. Mimic the diet of your kintype/theriotype. You are a shark? Eat seafood. A dragon? Maybe try to burn some food a little (or turn it black like my own preference if you want). You kin a character from [Insert source]? Try recreating foods/dishes from their world or dimension.

2. Listen to relatable music. I'd recommend making a playlist of any songs that feel species affirming/euphoric, or even echo that dysphoria further, therefore turning it relatable. (Few of my favorites are Bones by Imagine Dragons, Control by Halsey, Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land by MARINA, Momento Mori by Fish in a Birdcage, among other songs that feel therian coded to me).

3. Do vocals. Howling, barking, screeching, or roaring are very relieving if you are in the correct space to do them! If you are in a quite space or do not want to out yourself to anyone, try purring, growling, hissing, or other unnoticeable sounds. You have an object kintype? Mimic the sounds of the object, like beeping, clicking, etc. (I personally make microwave sounds just because it is fun). Recite voice lines of your kintype from the source they are in. Mimic their voice and volume to match.

4. Move and physically act like your kintype/theriotype. Quadrobics, mimic the flapping of wings, walk bidepedally, whatever you do, turn your mannerisms and motion to reflect your kintype/theriotype.

5. Dress like your kintype/theriotype. Is your kintype a character? Cosplay them, or mimic their clothing style, clothing color, hairstyle, etc. If they have tattoos, scars, or patterns on their body, copy them on your physical form with paint or pens. (PLEASE USE NON TOXIC MATERIALS. STUFF SAFE FOR YOUR HUMAN SKIN.) Are you a species of animal(s)? Dress in your species' colors, or, once again, paint or color yourself like it/them. Are you perhaps any other form of creature or object? You can use the same tips as the others, and another idea that works for all is that you can buy costume pieces of your kintype/theriotype. Masks, headbands, just normal clothing in general, the options really are infinite.

6. Express your dysphoria through artwork. I love doing art when I am heavily species dysphoric. Drawing, crafting masks, origami, painting, collages, all are forms of art. If you are skilled in music, then you could even create some songs of your own!

7. Go out and explore nature. This one is mainly targeted towards therians, whose types are grounded on the life on earth rather than other dimensions or universes, but just like the other methods, it can be universally used by any types of nonhumans. Collecting things is my favorite way of exploring nature. Collect rocks, shells, sticks, leaves, bugs, plants, anything that makes you feel more comfortable in your own (unfortunate) physical body. Stay grounded in the world around you and you may find the dysphoria slips away. Hiking and going on short walks can also help, building a den, smelling the scents of the outdoors. All great ideas that I personally recommend.

8. Write about your feelings. Whether you are good at expressing yourself through poetry, you keep a diary/journal, or you can project onto OCs for new backstory lore like I do, writing can truly help with any dysphoria. Not only that, but it is sometimes refreshing to come back later and read about what you were feeling before. It can serve as a great reminder that you are a powerful being and you will always overcome the feelings if you try.

9. Research about your kintype/theriotype. It does not matter if you are an animal, concept, or object from earth, a being from fantasy, or a character from the greatest book or show, you learn something new every day. So why not learn about yourself? Read books or watch animal documentaries of your theriotype(s), same thing for you otherkins and your fantasy species. Fictionkins can look up facts about themself as a character, their book, show, game, etc.

10. Talk and interact with other alterhumans/nonhumans. Remember, we are a community, and while you are experiencing horrible episodes of species dysphoria, there are many other beings going through the exact same thing at the exact same time. So why not talk to them about it? Share your experiences, help eachother cope, you may even connect with more individuals that way, building more relationships with others and meeting new beings.

11. Past life meditation. If you are a nonhuman who has a past life/lives, you may find comfort in meditation, where you can truly tap into what you once were, and still are in this life as well. Look to the forgotten, and turn in to remembered. Open up your past and live over again.

12. Listen to sounds. Nature sounds, voices of other characters you know from your world, vocals or sound effects of your kintype. These are all good options to turn to if you want to feel at ease with yourself.

13. Let your emotions out. Sometimes this is all you really need to do when species dysphoria hits hard. Cry, bite things, claw at pillows, LET IT OUT. There is absolutely no problem in being yourself and expressing your heavy emotions in your own, unique, nonhuman way. You may find you feel much better after.

That's all I've got, but I hope whoever/whatever reads this far has an amazing day/night. You are an amazing being, thank you for embracing yourself and living authentically. <3

Vamp Daniel teaching a class on vampires- mostly just their history and powers without giving away too much information to the cattle. Armand attends it, having a great time seeing his fledgling be so confident and out there in front of the humans. He laughs heartily at Daniel's humor and after the humans have gone for the night, they fuck right on the desk.

A big jar labeled "ashes of problem humans" is on the shelves and it contains the remains of their victims.

"Excuse me, Professor Molloy."

Daniel looks up from his desk into the biggest, roundest, most doe-like eyes he's ever seen. His brain short circuits for an embarrassing moment as he takes in the desi man's beauty. And his plunging v-neck. Jesus Fucking Christ, he can practically see the pulse of the man's carotid artery traveling from his toned chest to his tender looking neck.

"Yes? What is it, Arm- uh, Rashid?" Daniel asks, his mouth suddenly very dry as he makes a valiant effort to keep his gaze above throat level.

Armand leans forward, and if Daniel wasn't aware of his cleavage before he certainly is now.

"I was wondering," says Armand, his doe eyes wide and innocent, "if you could clarify some parts of your lecture for me. Specifically where you talk about how vampires use their powers to lure in their prey."

Daniel clears his throat and stands up. "Sure, sure, no problem. Let me just close the door so we don't disturb anyone else."

He walks over to the door, every step painfully slow as he restrains his vampiric speed, before shutting it with a click. It locks behind his back. Armand is still looking at him, now leaning back against the desk, his denim clad legs stretched out for miles before him.

"It's all very simple," says Daniel, not bothering to hide how he stalks toward his 'student', his hungry gaze pinned on his target, "The vampire's greatest power is seduction. It's how he makes his prey do whatever he wants; his prey will willingly isolate themselves, bare their necks, even beg to be drained."

Armand doesn't move a muscle as Daniel crowds into his personal space, planting his hands on the desk on either side of him. Dark eyelashes flutter like the wings of a caged bird. Borrowed warmth radiates from his body, tantalizingly close.

Behind Daniel's lips, glistening fangs emerge.

"Do you expect me to beg, Professor?" Armand breathes. A smirk plays on the edge of his lips.

Daniel swallows. His voice comes out rough. "I know you will." He trails a sharp fingernail down the deep divot of Armand's chest.

Armand's smirk becomes a sigh as he arches into the touch. He hooks his fingers into Daniel's belt loops and tugs him closer, delicate lips parted invitingly. "Please, Professor?" His whisper dances across Daniel's cheek and the last of Daniel's tenuous control snaps like a violin string.

Daniel's mouth crashes into his with all the force of a hurricane unleashed, teeth clicking against teeth, as Daniel lifts him onto the desk, sending pens and papers scattering to the floor. Armand's tongue roves over the sharp point of Daniel's fang and the sweet tang of blood spills over, clouding his senses with mine-maker-more. He licks greedily into Armand’s mouth, unable to stop the whine that escapes when the wound closes much too quickly. 

A shiny trail of saliva connects them as they pull apart. Daniel's teeth hone in on Armand's neck, cleaving through muscle and sinew to sink deep into his carotid. Blood, sweet ambrosia, hits his tongue and he moans, low and wanton.

Armand gasps with each harsh pull of his blood, his hands curling into fists in Daniel's grey curls, and his hips twitching in short, erratic thrusts. The hot flush drains from Armand's cheeks as the colour is restored in Daniel's pallid face, and they reach a simmering equilibrium.

"Fuck me," Armand demands, breathless.

Daniel pushes him down on the desk one-handed and drags Armand's pants down with the other, nails scraping against his plush thighs. He licks his lips as his eyes rove over each inch of dark skin revealed. "With pleasure."

This was a learning experience in the sense that I learned I don't know how to write teacher/student roleplay 🤷 and I realised AFTERWARDS that Anon didn't even ask for that so rip to me I guess. I hope someone likes it??

which showtunes do u guys think each 911 character would Destroy... i'm not talking ranges okay i'm talking pure emotion. pure vibes. performance power. here are my picks:

maddie: "she used to be mine" is low-hanging fruit and reductive but. i mean she'd kill. ANYWAY i think she would also slay "back to the palace" which is an earlier version of "on the steps of the palace" from into the woods which might be too much of a deep cut but i don't care. also she and chim would make me cry with "wedding song" from hadestown. ALSO "so much better" from legally blonde.

chimney: perhaps bringing starkid into this is embarrassing but i don't care. chim could fucking Own "show stoppin number" from the guy who didn't like musicals. like he would be So good. also chim could do "candy store" from heathers. maddie and hen are his heather mac and heather duke. like i just fully believe that he could commit the necessary energy. also i think chim could do any like romantic lead

buck: "maybe this time" from cabaret. like come on he'd bring down the house. also "my unfortunate erection" from the 25th annual putnam county spelling bee. he has the necessary pathetic vibe and general shamelessness regarding his penis. also "the schmuel song" from the last five years. ALSO "michael in the bathroom" from be more chill he would sing that song and cry about it whenever eddie was too busy to hang out with him.

eddie: he could not perform "maybe this time" from cabaret because he would break down in tears and be unable to sing. he Could own "not the boy next door" from the boy from oz. obviously. "god, i hate shakespeare" from something rotten! he just has the necessary haterism in his soul. "spooky mormon hell dream" from the book of mormon. i will refrain from assigning him anything from spring awakening because frankly i think if eddie diaz knew about that show it would upset him So profoundly and he would never recover.

bobby: "we both reached for the gun" from chicago. 10000%. also bobby and michael would deliver the greatest performance of "i love my dead gay son" from heathers of all time. "if i can't love her" from beauty and the beast.

athena: "anything goes" from anything goes. she just has that power idk. probably low-hanging fruit but "get down" from six. also i think she and bobby would slay "it takes two" from into the woods.

hen: "don't rain on my parade" from funny girl 100%. DON'T tell her not to live just sit and putter!!! also is it cheating to say she and karen could slay "take me or leave me" because it feels like cheating but they Literally could. also i think karen would slay "when he sees me" from waitress. sorry i'm letting karen overtake hen's bit but they're married what's hen's is karen's.

also the 118 could collectively slay "there! right there!" from legally blonde. also "what a game" from ragtime (eddie as father and buck as edgar. in my own personal opinion. because chim and bobby have Got to be baseball hooligans.) also eddie would fucking kill "ladies' choice" from hairspray but that's a movie thing so idk if it counts. but he'd kill.

When Fred got you, he was, for the lack of a better word, absolutely thrilled. Not only were you absolutely gorgeous and could handle his and George’s sense of humor, you were also a Ravenclaw – and the top of your class, no less, which for the Weasley brothers was similar to hitting a gold mine. It was only a matter of time before they could, using their irresistible charm and maybe some of Fred’s personal tactics, persuade you to help them with new developments for the Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes shop. And you did from time to time, reluctantly, as it wasn’t entirely appropriate for a prim and proper Ravenclaw like you, but you secretly enjoyed it.

On one of those days, on a warm, spring evening, you were sitting at the library, studying, as usual. As your nose was firmly in a Potions book, you didn’t hear footsteps slowly approaching you from behind. Only when a pair of soft yet firm hands obstructed your view of the academic text did you realize that you’d been creeped up on.

“Guess who?” a familiar voice with an unmistakable hint of mischief wondered. You giggled and pressed your hands against his, even though there was no real need – you’d recognize them anywhere.

“Freddie,” you murmured, a smile spreading on your lips. You hadn’t seen your boyfriend in a while, and the unexpected encounter was more than welcome, in your book.

"In the flesh."

Your eyes ached a bit after the hands covering them were removed and the warm, bright light of the library candles hit them again. But the ache was quickly soothed by a pair of lips pressed against yours in a short yet passion-filled kiss. You frowned when Fred pulled away, your face jerking forward to chase him, but the grin stretching his mouth immediately erased the crease between your eyebrows. You could never be upset when he looked this happy.

"Studying again?" Fred asked, smirking as he mindlessly flipped through the pages of the book in front of you, not paying the texts any real attention. You nodded, letting out a sigh – of course, for someone as smart as you, studying wasn’t the biggest chore, but sometimes, even the greatest of minds needed some rest, some distraction.

Seeing your covertly tired expression, Fred’s eyes softened, but the mischievous smirk on his lips never left. "Come on, honey cheeks, lighten up," he said in a lighthearted manner, plopping down into the chair next to you and closing your textbook shut with a loud noise.

"Fred!” you whisper-yelled, hoping that Madam Pince didn’t hear the sudden disturbance of the silence in her precious library. Your boyfriend simply grinned, seemingly unbothered, and rummaged through his bag for a moment. With a victorious ‘got it!’ he fished out a small bar of what looked like chocolate and placed it on the table, giving you a proud look.

The look should’ve been a clear sign, but your hand still reached for the bar, thinking it was just one of the usual sweets Fred got you from time to time, “just to see your pretty smile”, as he himself put it. But evidently, it wasn’t the case, because his hand quickly moved to shield the chocolate from yours.

"Oh no, hun, I wouldn’t eat it if I were you," Fred said, the smirk on his lips widening, making a dimple on his left cheek pop out. "Unless you want to have your ears wiping the ground, that is."

You raised an eyebrow in confusion at first, but as the gears in your brain turned, you started understanding exactly what was happening. The realization made you roll your eyes.

"Again?" you breathed out, looking at Fred with an exasperated but also somewhat amused expression. It seemed like every week him and George would come up with something new for their shop, and this time, it seemed to be… a chocolate bar.

"Oh, you know it, honey cheeks."

Fred grabbed the product, tossing it into the air, catching it and swiftly bringing it to your face, which made you flinch and giggle at the same time.

"Let me present to you, my love, the best punishment for the especially nosy – Prying Prick’s Plague. The title’s a work in progress."

You chuckled, shaking your head at his antics. It wasn’t the first time, and of course, wouldn’t be the last, you knew it all too well. You pretended to give him a disapproving look about the ‘prick’ part, but all that came out was a very adorable – in Fred’s opinion – scowl.

"What?" Fred asked, raising an eyebrow back at you. He twirled the chocolate bar between his nimble fingers, tossing and catching it again. "It makes your ears turn really damn huge. Just what nosy pricks need."

"Yeah? Why do I feel like this was made with someone in mind?" You narrowed your eyes at the boy in front of you, suspiciously staring him down. He looked a bit too mischievous even for his usual self.

"Ah, darling, perceptive as always," Fred praised in a dramatic manner, giving you a pat on the back. You rolled your eyes for what felt like the hundredth time tonight. "We did have someone in mind. And here, my love, is where you come into the picture."

"Huh?"

You furrowed your forehead, your expression turning a bit dumbfounded. Sure, the brothers appreciated your expertise on their stuff, but they had never tried to actually… use you in one of their endless pranks. And it seemed like Fred was suggesting exactly that.

Fred let out a short chuckle at your cute, puzzled face, and reached out with his hand to caress your hair, as if he was soothing you. A ‘tsk’ could be heard coming out of your mouth, but you didn’t pull away, letting him pet you.

"Don’t worry, hun, it’s nothing too bad," Fred murmured, but the smirk still tugging at the corner of his mouth was too playful for your liking. "You’re tutoring Malfoy in Herbology, right?"

"Yeah," you confirmed, irritation briefly flicking through the depth of your eyes. The guy’s ambition to become a Healer was a commendable one, but his skills in Herbology were, for the lack of a better word, not present.

"And you would agree that he’s a prying prick, right?"

"Um…"

Sure, Malfoy could be annoying. And he always seemed to have his nose in everybody’s business, thinking his "valuable input" was, in fact, valuable. But surely, Fred didn’t mean…?

"Yeah." Fred’s single word seemed to confirm your thoughts, as if he was reading your mind.

"No way. You actually want to…?"

"And with your help, no less."

Fred grinned when the scowl on your face turned even more disapproving. He slipped his hand from your head down to your face, her knuckles softly brushing against the apples of your cheeks. He always thought you were totally adorable like that, all mad at him for yet another disturbance of peace he was planning to cause. This time, it was even better, since you were also going to be involved. And he knew that you were going to – even underneath your prim and proper exterior, a spark of excitement always flickered whenever he told you about his and George’s pranks.

"Merlin, you’re insufferable," you groaned, still leaning into Fred’s touch, unable to resist the warmth of his loving hand caressing your face.

"And you love it, hun," he responded, giving you a sly wink, knowing exactly what it always did to you. "Just admit it – I’m brilliant. And my dear brother, of course, but mostly me."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever," you muttered, begrudgingly agreeing with his cocky statement. The image of Malfoy with huge floppy ears was indeed a pretty hilarious one, and his inevitable tantrum would definitely be a sight to behold.

Fred laughed at your reluctant admission of his superior thinking and affectionately pecked your cheek. What a delight you were – gorgeous, smart and secretly, a bit wicked. His dream girl.

so i know posts like these are already circulating and i know this one is a fucking novel, but i want you guys to hear it from me too.

for a lot of us, we’re in that worst case scenario. it feels like the end of the world or the beginning of the end.

but that’s only true if we let it be.

that’s only true if we just give up and shut up.

maybe taking a stand, in whatever way that is for you, feels like beating against a brick wall and that you don’t matter anymore. That’s not true. don’t let yourself believe that. don’t let them take you out before the fight begins.

more so don’t let them take you out when fighting is becoming even more important than before. because the fight never stopped. unfortunately a lot of us aren’t ever going to be in a position where we aren’t fighting.

i want you all to remember a few things:

—there’s strength in numbers, not safety necessarily, but strength.

—your voice can be your greatest weapon. don’t ever give that up if you can absolutely help it. even if it’s taken away.

—your only true job in this world and life is to stay alive. at the very core and base level, you are the most important person in your life.

—if staying alive means going incognito then you fucking go incognito.

—you fight in whatever way you can physically, emotionally, mentally until you can’t anymore. and if that happens then you fight to stay alive even if that means fighting against your own brain.

—you can’t help anyone if you’re dead. you can’t help yourself if you’re dead.

i’m going to post a list of whatever resources i can find within the next few days and i want to remind everyone that regardless of if you’re a follower or mutual of mine, new here, or have never interacted with me before, i’m here. you can dm me, you can send me asks or anons, whatever— i’m here.

my general rule is that i don’t dm with minors because i’m an adult and there’s honestly no reason for me to, but i’m suspending that because i feel like it’s my duty as an adult and human being to provide support to anyone in need of it despite their age and if I’m the only safe adult someone can talk to, then I’m going to fucking be that safe adult. i’ve promised myself to be the kind of person that i desperately needed when i was a teenager and child and i’ll be damned if i don’t do everything in my power to make sure no one has to go through anything similar to what i had to.

i love you guys, internet stranger or not, and you’re not alone.

remember that if nothing else.~🎃

[peachesofteal]

i've drafted this ask about 3 times now trying to find the rigth wording but this is my first election, i'm a 19 year old queer person and it's scary as shit. but sometimes i have to remind myself that the world didn't end in 2016 and it probably won't this year either, no matter what the outcome is

and your blog has been a big part of that, hearing about your mental health ups and downs, and your life reminds me a lot of my own situation and it's insanely helpful to have someone to look up to, to remind myself that my life won't end at 19 even if it feels like it atm. thank you peaches💕

Fear is the mind killer (conservatives know this, they use it to twist and manipulate rational thought), the world won't end, but it will change. It's important to recognize and remember that. It will change, and change, and change again. This country is young, the scales will tip one direction and another, but as time progresses, I really think the scales tipping won't be dipping into such extreme territory. My generation, the one above me, and above them, the countless generations that will come after me, we'll all become the majority eventually. There's a lot of hope in change.

Perseverance is one of the greatest traits of humanity. You're going to be okay, I'm really honored that you consider me someone to look up to. I hold you close in my heart.

Hi hi hi!!!!! I love your mlb Megumi fics, they’re so so good!!!!!! I was just wondering, what do you imagine mlb!Megumi’s s/o’s style is? What kind of clothes and shoes does she wear, how does she style her hair, what kind of perfume does she use, etc? I find stuff like that about characters to interesting lol

THIS IS ACTUALLY THE GREATEST QUESTION I HAVE EVVEEERRRR GOTTEENNN OMG I LOOOVEEE YOUUUU !!!

to preface of course, readers style and character can be ANYTHING y’all want her to be, but for me personally i usually imagine her outfits very girly but kind of like in a 2000’s way !! my girl LOVES getting ready and just getting the satisfaction of the finishing product of her makeup and blowed out hair, as her lip liners especially are her BIBLLEEEE and she never goes anywhere without them stuffed in her receipt filled purse 😻 (and some are strewn about across her mans dash in his car for on the go 😝)

reader for me also loves vanilla and coconut scented perfumes the most, and CHEESES over pretty coquette perfume bottles to which mlb!megumi picks up on OF COURSEEE??? and literally buys any that he sees while he’s out n’ about that he thinks she’ll like and randomly just passes it to her in the middle of a conversation the next time he sees her, or has it already sitting cute and shiny on her vanity desk for her to find and cry over :] <3333

flared jeans, mom jeans and shorts, converse, docs, oversized chunky sweaters, big sweaters, megumi’s sweaters, off the shoulder tops, babydoll summery tops, denim skirts, and cropped cardigans are her MUUUSTTT !! feels like her world is ending without their existence 😁👍

THIISSS WASS SUCH A TREEAAATTT oh my god anon i owe you my life THANK YOU I LOVE YOU!! MWAAHHHH <3333

(Moon, I'm gonna slap you I SWEAR-)

Solar, you're a really good brother!

(0:06) Oh! So this is when Moon left to his lab and Solar went to comfort Sun! (I REALLY WANTED TO SEE THIS!)

(0:28) Yeah, not the greatest...

(0:57) *laugh softly* That's like her..!

(1:20) Yeah, everyone miss you Sun! See? You're loved!

(1:53) *laugh softly* That's kind of you Solar!

(2:52) He sounds he is about to cry...

(3:14) oh my poor boy....💔

(3:55) Lunar- are you still watching commercials on Nutella?!

(4:40) Moon doesn't want to!! THAT'S THE PROBLEM!!! THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO BE SUN'S TWIN, SO MOON IS THE PERSON SUN NEEDS THE MORE IN THIS MOMENT AND YET THEY ACT LIKE HE MATTER LESS THAN FINDING $UN!!!

(5:34) Oh. OHH. THAT EXPLAINS A LOT.

(5:49) YEAH, AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES ME MAD! MOON CAN BE AVALIABLE EMOTIONALLY, THEY JUST DOESN'T WANT TO!

(7:28) Yeah, I don't think that will help Sun in any way...

I know Moon's trying to help, but.... *sigh* they doesn't understand they aren't gonna help with that, but Moon has Solar, Lunar, Earth or whoever to help them understand what to do, but they need to ask first for advice.

(8:06) Yes Solar, pls go understand Moon's thoughts process and then explain to them why it is not helping and give them some advice to do better.

(8:21) Sun..? Buddy?

(10:17-10:57) Lunar, you're such a good lil brother to Sun!❤

I love how Lunar and Solar try to comfort Sun in any ways possible, it's so sweet of them!

...

*sigh* I just hope Solar convince Moon to talk to Sun, he really needs his twin right now..

Doesn't sound like you at all, now that you put it that way. You're everyone's greatest influence. Maybe I'll have to start using you for car advice. Even if you're not...whoever that is...I'll gladly listen to you in that department. That's the nicest way you ever could've put it, Kat. And I adore your snort laugh. May as well make it your ringtone. But yay for me being a poodle! I think I fit the high maintenance and wants to be carried around everywhere bill on that front. I'd rather go to your daughter for the tech advice, I'm sure she's only going to be mildly annoyed at all of our questions. You saw us in that escape room in Austria, I think the poor person working was over the bickering and the inability to get anything done. Don't full name me, Kathryn Hahn, but I now feel fully able to confirm your suspicions. But in order to curb your insatiable knowledge, you are allowed only two questions about her. They could be breaking other things, like his dick, but I can't believe I managed to say that before you. You have to admit that Bradley's kinda...evened out since they had Willow. I don't know why it still has to be such a battle with you two. You are more than able to keep yourself working, ma'am. You're really doing amazing things these days with Marvel, something I could never dream of doing.

Me? Influencing people into bad habits? Never. If something with a car sounds odd, usually it is something odd has happened. I'm not exactly Lewis Hamilton when it comes to cars but I at least know that. Why do us women always feel the need to ignore toxic, bad signs with anything. I would never say such a thing, your nose is perfect and even if you did snore, it would sound so harmonising, like a glorious melody. If anything I'm probably the bulldog, I'm the one who can't seem to laugh without snorting. But fine, you can be a poodle. I know, I know, we really don't have much hope with Cat, but she's the best I got. Maybe, if we need help with anything, we can force Mae into it. She is the one who set up my Instagram after all. Let's be real here Em, us three doing any kind of course is a lost cause, because we aren't listening to anything. Wait, I'm on the right track but not a guy? Emily Blunt, have you met someone who isn't a guy?! I would make some old jokes about breaking hips and knees, but since I'm older than both of them I'm keeping my mouth shut. She's thriving and having a great time, it's just a shame that it's with Bradley and not literally anyone else. Okay good, you better, because I'm counting on you to keep me working.

[flying-cat]

people who undermine the importance of izuku and katsuki's relationship throughout bnha because of "annoying shippers" or because they just don't like katsuki are insane because their relationship is literally so? important??? to the entire story???? katsuki is the deuteragonist of bnha. he was one of the first characters to show up. he was the first other person to know about OFA. so much of the manga is spent showing his development. if you deny his character development and relationship development ("relationship" does not always mean romantic relationship) with izuku, you are quite literally denying a massive part of the series. the manga starts with them and ends with them. you're allowed to dislike him but if you dislike him so much that you, in turn, start hating how izuku is a "punching bag" or a "doormat" for the entire series because he doesn't stay angry and vengeful at people even though a massive part of his character is that he's compassionate and kind even to people who aren't to him or used to not be, and you seriously think that that makes him weak, and you just start to dislike the main two characters of the series, i think you should. idk. stop reading, probably. read the revenge fantasy shit that you obviously want to read. there are like seven million manhwa available to you where the character gets the revenge you so desperately want to see.
