#thinking comforting thoughts to make myself feel better 💞💞💞

[hanafubukki]

The cutest idea came to my mind of malleus escaping Lilia during bath time in his dragon form.

You see a tiny dragon zooming by while Lilia from the next room over slides by and almost crashes to a wall trying to grab him.

He almost catches and nope! Malleus slips through his hold with a “kyuuu~~”

Not even his infamous speed can keep up with a baby who wants to escape bath time.

I guess he did end up chasing after that baby after all 😭🥹💞

Helloooo do you write for aventurine from hsr?

If you do, would it be possible to request an aventurine x gn reader where he tries to comfort the reader who has religious trauma? If that's a little too complicated then something like aven trying to comfort the reader when they were suddenly reminded about their trauma from parents.

I'm really just desperately trying to make myself feel better 😭 anw the decision is still up to you <3 I hope you have a wonderful day and I hope that you stay safe and healthy, take care!! 💞💐

IM SO SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG 😭 I LOST MOTIVATION TO WRITE ANYTHING 😞😞 I’d love to write this for you but I’m not so sure on what religious trauma is so I focused on reader getting triggered by their parents instead, I hope that’s okay. Please don’t hesitate to comment if I mischaracterized him, this is based off what I see online since I don’t play hsr, thank you!

TAGS: slight mentions of self harm, hair pulling (out of stress) angst, fluff and comfort at the end

CHARACTERS: Aventurine

You were on your way home after meeting up with your parents. It’s been awhile since you last saw them so you thought you’d pay them a visit.

They welcomed you with open arms and were very glad that you came over, your mother excitedly sharing new stories of what’s happened while you moved away and your father just simply listening to you two.

Everything was smooth sailing, you had fun with them, sharing laughs and all until it all went down the drain.

“haha…” you chuckled it off. You hated hearing about the incident that had happened. Your parents brushed it off by now as a joke, but to you it was anything BUT that.

you continued to catch up to them, holding up a smile to get away the memories that ran through your brain.

stop stop stop

You clenched your hands tightly, continuing to laugh along with the “jokes” your parents made. You couldn’t stop thinking about it now, everything that happened, everything that you worked so hard to forget, all of it GONE just because of a few simple words.

“I might be home a bit late sweetheart, please don’t stay up waiting for me. Love you”

Your phone buzzed, a message from your boyfriend, Aventurine.

perfect.

You took this to your advantage, deciding it was a good excuse.

“Ah I need to go home, sorry mama, urgent things at work.”

You made a white lie. You knew it was a bad thing to lie, it would make you a sinner, but you would do anything right now to get away from that so called ‘home’

“I hope you visit again, we love you”

Your father kissed you on the forehead, before both waving off.

You quickly shuffled to your car, driving as fast as you can away from your parent’s home. You were thankful for your boyfriend’s text, not only can you have alone time but you also were able to lie with getting home.

You drove faster, the music louder, anything to try and get the flooding memories away. You clenched the wheel tightly, taking rough turns, completely ignoring your surroundings.

shut up shut up shut up shut up

please.

You reached your home, running to your bedroom, your safe place.

You opened the television, had your snacks around you and all but for some reason, nothing would work. The thoughts still lingered at the back of your mind, the unspoken memories, the things you’ve tried to hard to forget.

Little did you know, you ended up spiraling. Your eyes on the TV, your mind elsewhere. It all came back too quickly, too much for you, the way you were treated, the rules you were forced to have, the life you so desperately wanted to escape, and it felt like you were back. “…y/n… y/n? Hey hey-“

you got started by the sound, only to realize you had been pulling your hair a lot,

“ah- y-you’re back earl-“

He wrapped his arms around you tightly, Aventurine pulled your hands away from your hair,

“Shh, shh… there there”

he rubbed his hand on your back, you leaned into his touch, before looking down to see blood on your fingernails. “What happened?”

Aventurine pulled away, cupping your cheeks and rubbing your hand, careful not to touch the skin you picked.

You didn’t even notice it, but you were crying. You had tears run down your face as if your eyes were waterfalls.

“I visited my parents today”

“mh…did they do anything?”

“they just…mentioned something and I got triggered and started spiraling I guess…”

as you spoke, aventurine started to wrap some bandages around your fingers.

“What did they say?”

(cutting this part off here so you can like…. Explain to him ykyk. He doesn’t know much of your trauma so u explain that you went through that before)

“Oh sweetheart…”

he wiped your tears and kissed you on the cheek, before hugging you and hurrying your face into the crook of his neck.

“I’m sorry… I didn’t know that’s ever happened, why didn’t you tell me?”

“I didn’t want to remember…”

he frowned and pulled you closer,

“I’m sorry…. If you’re up to going to your parents again, I’ll be here to accompany you. If you don’t, then that’s alright, I understand.”

he kisses the top of your head multiple times, hoping to sooth you with his affection.

He intertwined his hand with yours as he continues to speak reassuring words. “I am always here for you, alright my dearest? If you feel triggered by anything ever again, please don’t hesitate to tell me. I’m never ‘too busy’ for you or any of that. I love you”

you smile as he tells you how he has your back and how he will never leave and swear to always protect you. As you stop crying, he starts to clean up the snacks you left and comes back with more of your favorite foods.

“I got some before I left work”

he chuckles, lying next to you on the bed as you two stayed in the comfort of each others arms.

“I love you, I always will and I will never stop.”

He presses a kiss to your lips, pulling away to see your smile, which makes him smile as well.

A/N: OKAY… so I tried to make it like him as much as I could, I think he’s the type to gen take things seriously in scenarios like this, and the part where he like… pushes(?) your head to his neck for comfort, that means a lot since I hc him to not like being touched there or anyone touching him there either, so yeah. Thanks for requesting and I hope this is ok!! Comments are appreciated (for tips, if I mischaracterized or just to say hi) I hope ure okay dude, if you want more of these feel free to request

Sick in his arms 💞

You're sick and Jason takes care of you

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I feel awful. My head is pounding, my body aches, and despite the layers of blankets I'm wrapped in, I can't stop shivering. The weight of exhaustion is pressing down on me, and it's taking everything in me to curl up and completely disappear into the coach. I glance at the clock, waiting for Jason to come home. I just need him. His voice, his touch, anything to make me feel better. The thought of him being here already makes me feel a little warmer.

Finally, I hear the front door creak open, and I can't help but smile, despite the haze of sickness. But what mattered the most, is that he's here now. "Babe, I'm home!" His voice echoed through the apartment, and I try to sit up to respond, but my limbs feel to heavy. I don't have even the energy to do much more than blink, so I wait for him to find me.

 The moment he steps into the living room and sees me curled up like this, his smile fades, replaced by a wortied frown. He crosses the room quickly and kneels beside me, his hand gently brushing my hair away from my face. I lean into his touch, the coolness of his fingers a relief against my burning skin. "Hey, what's up with you?" He asks softly, his thumb lightly tracing my cheek. "I think I'm sick..." My voice is weak but I manage to offer him a smile. His hand presses against my forehead, and I see his expression change immediately. "You're burning up." Before I can say anything else, he's already up and moving. I watch him disappear into the kitchen, the sound of cupboards opening and closing faint in my ears.

I close my eyes for a moment, too tired to move, but then I hear him returning. He sits beside me again, a cool washcloth in one hand and a glass of water in the other. He presses the cloth gently to my forehead, and I sight in relief, the coolness easing some of the pressure in my head.

"Here love, drink this." He holds the glass to my lips, and I take a few sips. I sink back into the couch, pulling the blanket tighter around me as he sits down next to me. His hand rests on my knee though the blanket, his thumb making slow circles as he watches me with concern. "You should've told me you're weren't feeling well," he says softly, his brow still furrowed. "I would've come home sooner." I try to give him a reassuring smile, even though my body feels like it's on fire. "I didn't want to bother you... It's just a fever." He leans in and presses a soft kiss to my temple, his lips lingering for a moment longer than usual. "You've never a bother to me. You're the more important than everything."

The warmth of his kiss sends a rush of comfort through me, more soothing than any medicine could be. I close my eyes, feeling the tension in my body start to ease, if only a little.He moves quietly, adjusting the pillows behind me to make sure I'm comfortable. Then, without a word, he head back to the kitchen. I can hear him moving around, the faint sound of him humming to himself as he starts cooking. I smile to myself, knowing exactly what he's doing. A little while later, he comes back, balancing a bowl of steaming soup in his hands.

He sits beside me and blows on a spoonful before offering it to me. I open my mouth, and the warm broth slides down my throat, comforting and familiar. "Than you," I whisper, taking another spoonful when he offers it. He feeds me slowly, patiently, and when I've had enough, he sets the bowl aside and pulls me closer into his arms. "Don't stay to close to me, you can get sick" I whisper. "I don't care. I want to stay beside you and confort you." He wraps the blanket tighter around me and tucks me into his chest. I rest my head against him, my body curling into the familiar warmth of his embrace. 

His chin tests on top of my head, and I can feel the steady rise and fall of his chest under my cheek. "I've got you," he whispers, he whispers, his voice soft soothing, like a lullaby. His hand strokes my back slowly, and the steady rhythm of his breathing begins to lull me into a comfortable haze. Even though my body aches and my head is heavy, there's something about being here, in his arms, that makes everything feel okay. The fever, the aches, the chills. They all seem to fade away when he holds me like this.

He presses a gentle kiss to my forehead, his lips warm against my skin. "Get some rest. I'm not going anywhere." I close my eyes, letting his heartbeat and the warmth of his body lull me into sleep. And as I drift off, all I can think is how lucky I am to have him, someone who makes even the worst days feel a little brighter just being here, in his arms.

hihi !! i hope you're having an amazing holidays 🥰 i was so excited when i saw requests were open ! would you be able to write something for cg! jake lockley. i have this idea where he comes home to find you regressed and immediately decides that it would be better if steven or marc took care of you. but then you specifically say that no, you want to be with jake (because he's the biggest and scariest of the three and he scares away all the bad thoughts and things while you're small) i just think he'd be so sweet and try his hardest to make sure you have a happy regression 🤧💗

@girlwhofellfromthemoon I did not forget about this request! If anything it’s been living in my head rent free for a while now! I love some overly protective Cg Jake Lockley! Plus the idea is so cute too!! I love the idea of the three freezing when they see the reader upset and all fighting to take the body at once. Just to preface, everything is Spanish is from google translate and everything in italics is spoken internally in Marc, Steven, or Jake’s head. The gif is Oscar Isaac from another movie but it just screams comfy Jake Lockley to me! Thank you so much for the request!! You’re the best! @girlwhofellfromthemoon 💞💞 I hope you enjoy!!

Protect Me From Myself🥺

Each step up the stairs to Marc’s London flat is agony for him. He could’ve just taken the elevator, made things easier for himself, but his elderly neighbor just so happened walking into it and after the last time she saw him….

The stairs will do nicely.

It wasn’t that it was a hard day, just a day where everything that could go wrong, went wrong. And judging by the texts he received from Y/N earlier that day, he could tell they’re both having the same type of day.

Making it to his floor, Steve took the body, breathing heavily, “Honestly I don’t care if she’s in the elevator, we haven’t worked out in a minute and I feel like my lungs are collapsing.”

Marc takes the body back, not breathing as hard as Steven was, “We share the same body, how is it harder for you?”

“That’s because you’re more athletic than me!”

“BUT WE SHARE-…” Marc takes a breath, “You know, I’m not even going to say it.”

Once at the door to their flat, Marc grabs the keys, “Y/N’s definitely regressed so how are we playing it tonight Steven?”

“I was thinking you could start with the body, I could pop in later make us dinner and watch some telly with them, then you can come in and tuck her in. Sound good?”

“Great, let’s hope they didn’t have too bad of a day. I wouldn’t want to-.” Marc stops, his thoughts cut by the soft sounds of crying.

Marc quickly walk in to find Y/N sitting in the couch, legs to their chest, stuffy squished between them, softly crying.

They lift their head when he enters, Marc freezes. Suddenly it was a fight for the body, Marc and Steven internally debating on who should handle it.

But out from the sniffles and silent tears comes one word. “Jake.”

Marc freeze…again, “What sweetheart?”

“I want Jake.”

That was not only a shock to Marc and Steven, but also to Jake who always was near, just listening idly.

“You want Jake?” Marc asked again, “Are you sure? Because I could take-.”

“NO!” They said sternly, shaking their head as more, “I want Jake, only Jake! He scares everything away…” They insist.

“She wants Jake, we can’t argue with that Marc.” Steven says quietly inside his head.

“But are we sure we trust-.”

“¡Ahora no es el momento! déjame tomar el cuerpo!” Jake started yelling, which translated to ‘Now is not the time! Let me take the body!’

With a sigh and concentration, Marc closed his eyes. When he opened them, Jake has taken over the body.

Immediately Jake was at their side. “Pequeño…”

The relief set into Y/N almost instantly seeing Jake take the body. And with it, the sadness and hardship of the day takes its place. Immediately they fall into tears, stretching their arms to Jake.

Jake scoops them up into his arms, holding the back of their head and supporting them on his hip, “Pequeño, qué sucedió? What happened?”

But Y/N just couldn’t stop crying, and Jake took notice. He starts walking around the room with the Little in his arms, lightly bouncing and whispering words of affection.

“It’s okay, Pequeño.”

“I’ve got you.”

“Let it all out.”

“I’m here, I’ve got you.”

“You’re okay.”

“Papa’s here, Papa’s got you.”

Circle after circle around the apartment he went with Y/N in his arms. He didn’t stop, not even when their tears stopped falling and their cries became sniffles here and there.

He only paused when they lifted their head and rubbed their eyes, looking into his with their red teary ones.

“Had a bad day Papa.”

He hums, not interrupting or talking over, but just listening.

“Everything kept going wrong and it didn’t stop.”

They go on to explain their day and how incredibly horrible it kept getting. “It’s my fault Papa, all of it. I’m…I’m such an idiot…”

“Hey! You are no such thing! Do not talk badly about yourself.” He says a bit stern.

He sits on the couch, them in his lap. He gently guides their chin to look him in the eyes. “You are so brilliantly and wonderful. I wish you could see the you I see.” He sighs. “But let’s break it down, did you do anything wrong purposely?”

“No…” They shake my head, wondering where he was going with this.

“Did you make a mistake on purpose?”

“No…”

“Did you try to make it better even though it wasn’t done on purpose?”

“Yeah.”

“Then why are you upset with yourself?” He looks in their eyes, “You made a mistake and tried to make thing better. That shows what kind of a person you are. You a good person who keeps trying to make things better.”

His words start to sink into the Little, starting to bring a reassuring warmth to them.

He can see how it’s starting to bring them out of their funk. “Trust me Little one, we make plenty of mistake.”

“Like what?” They ask curious.

“Oh you little bromista! Now you’re perking up.” He sits back with me in his arms, rubbing my back gently as he thinks. “Hmmmm….yesterday Marc mistook your shampoo for ours and our hair was so crazy and unkept all day while Steven worked at the gift shop.”

“Jake are you serious?!?!” Marc chides.

They giggle, “Is that why you took a second shower yesterday? Dad said it was because was dirty from work.”

“Marc only lied to save himself from embarrassment. We took a second shower because we were having a crazy hair day.” Jake smiles as they giggle some more, hearing Marc mentally facepalm.

“But the point of the matter is, we all make mistakes, some bigger than others. But if your intentions are good and not with bad intent then it’s just a simple mistake.” He leans forward and kisses my forehead.

“Thank you.” They smile back to him, hugging him tightly.

“You don’t need to thank me. I’m always here for you. You just tell the other two you want Papa to scare away the bad thoughts and I’ll take the body.” He smirks.

“Now,” he pats their back, “Why don’t we head down the street and try out that new ice cream parlor that just opened up?”

First it’s Marc, “Jake…”

Then it’s Steven, “It’s too late for them to be having-.”

“REALLY?! I’ll get my jacket!” They jump from the couch and run to the closet.

Jake sits back on the couch with a smirk, “Good luck being her favorite now.” He says to the other two before standing and grabbing his coat.

Gore Mod Review

Okay I'm not sure where to begin. Most of what I can say is just...wow. I'm going to be completely honest I installed this mod on a complete whim, I wasn't even really looking for a follower mod specifically, it was more of a I've experienced the mods I have repeatedly by this point. I'm not complaining I still love the mods I have and the followers I already have that being: Kaidan, Lucien and Inigo, but I kind of wanted something fresh and I got all that and much more.

Spoilers but extremely vague ones

Okay so when I initially met Gore I went in with the mindset of not comparing him to my other followers I already have grown to know and love because that would not only set high expectations, but its also completely demeaning to the mod creator.

When you first meet him I was just immediately drawn to him because he is just so easily likeable, but I think the moment that truly solidified that I'd never play another playthrough without him was during the climb to High Hrothgar. His presence and reassurance was just everything to me because thinking about it if I was truly the dragonborn I'd be terrified, all that responsibility in such a short amount of time is daunting (especially considering that it was only recently you were about to be executed) and he really reminded me to take a moment to prioritise myself and what I was feeling.

The small things really sold this mod to me as well as the amazing voice acting and story...he just feels so real? Not to mention that I sobbed his entire story because it was like looking into a mirror. I really resonated with him and I could really see him as my best friend.

Okay now for genuine spoilers depending on choices

His optional romance route was just utterly stunning. It flowed so so easily and didn't feel forced or rushed it just felt so natural. It all really hit close to home though his struggles with relationships and the concept that someone would actually like him for him and not be disgusted by his past. As someone who's never been in a relationship let alone been near another person in that sort of fashion it was just so comforting to both be in the same boat. The build up and everything was just so well executed from him trying to push you away by giving you reasons to end things to finally accepting that you do want to be with him even if it's foreign to him.

But whether you choose to romance him or to remain friends my favourite quality of his is that he is uniquely him; by that I mean he genuinely feels like a real person because he's humorous and he has his own thoughts, feelings and opinions and he will make them known and he stays true to himself and his beliefs all whilst growing as a person and learning to be better. Despite everything he's been though he's such a positive figure to have even if he thinks otherwise and its so nice to get to be apart of his journey and watch him learn to be content with himself as well as his past. I cannot sing his praises enough I genuinely have so much love for the character and the creator. He's become my favourite companion in such a short time and I could write for hours and hours about how much I love Gore and how much I appreciate your work but I won't...Just thankyou so much for making me and everyone who plays this mod seen and felt and much love to you! And I urge everyone to get the mod to experience this absolute treasure! 💞

SA victim! Reader × RE8 Chris redfield

Note: Made this honestly for myself, been struggling allot emotionally and mentally and I really just needed to write something to give me comfort. I decided to share this in hopes of giving others struggling with similar situations a comfort as well! :') I do want to apologize if this writing comes off as rude or ignorant in any kind of way, I've mainly used my own experiences to tailor this together but I've tried to use universal language to make it feel more personal to the reader. I hope you guys enjoy 💞

The day you opened up to him about your assault or rape was when you were having a particularly bad day in your head, you were having flashbacks of that very moment that ruined you for the rest of your life. Your depression, anger and confusion hit you like a train. You didn't want to be around anyone, not even the man who was trying so hard that day to get you to open up about what was getting you so down. But for whatever the reason maybe, you just couldn't. He worked during what felt like, every damn day of the week, he had enough on his plate. Plus, fear and apprehension was keeping you radio silent the longest. What if he just rolled his eyes, laughed and didn't believe you? Then what? Your relationship wouldn't be the same or just wouldnt exist anymore at all so you thought anyways. Chris would leave you in a heartbeat, no questions asked.

"Baby no- I'm sorry, I can for a fact guarantee you are talking out your ass right now. It's written all over your face."

You could imagine him, you could imagine him saying those very words and right there and then everything you've built with him over the years would fall apart in mere seconds.

I could imagine that in reality, he'd be always ready to talk no matter what or how he's feeling. Because right now, he could matter less. trying to offer you comfort in the forms of snacks, blankets hugs and kisses.

What alarmed him was when you'd force yourself out of his embrace, when you'd stay away from the comforts that you may have typically enjoyed.

He'd be worried sick alright, calling Claire for advice on how he could better help you and maybe get a idea of what your silent struggles where about lately.

You'd sit with him after a few days, and he'd listen face to face with you ears eyes and thoughts all devoted to you, his angel.

"Oh hun...I'm so so sorry, I should have been less pushy. I'm so sorry."

He'd whisper in a quiet, softer voice. Letting you throw yourself at him for a tight hug, all he could feel was- hurt. He felt hurt seeing you hurt, especially THIS hurt. He may not be able to fully understand your pain, but he empathizes and wants nothing more than to take care of you in any way he could.

You want a bubble bath? Say less, your his number one priority.

Takeout from your favorite place, he's getting something from there too.

Or if you just want to vent about it, if you just need his undying attention then so be it.

He'd listen to you all day, keeping you wrapped in his enormous arms safe against his chest and safe in the four walls of your shared space.

"You are so so strong sweetheart, so brave and stronger than you think. I'd say, your stronger than me and my men, your safe here and I'll make sure it stays like that. If you ever need to talk, you know you'll have me, whatever you need."

He'd reassure you in that warm voice of his, like honey his words fell from his lips if you needed to cry or already crying, He'd keep you held close against him, letting you get everything out.

If you needed sometime in therapy, Chris would search for the best place money could buy. He wanted you to feel well, to feel cared and loved and thought about.

I could imagine him to be a VERY patient man, if you were having a flashback that day or just very upset and angry he'd understand and let you express your needs. Weather through writing them down gesturing, or just out right telling him. He'll let you decide and be right with you to support your health and mind.

If there were certain things that especially reminded you of the time, Chris would ask you to either tell him or write it down so that way he'll know to not bring it up or bring a said object near you just to give an example.

If you liked to draw, paint or bake or just chill and watch movies. He'd definetly do these activities with you whenever he's available, he'd definitely check in with you more than previously either texting calling or just asking in person. He knows this is a very delicate moment and time for you, so he'll keep tabs on you 24/7.

When he's away and on duty for work, I can imagine him going to Leon and asking if he could find for him any Intel on your abuser. And during his time away from home, he'd make it his personal mission to find and take care of the waste of air who hurt his precious sunshine.

Century of Love - Ep 6

Tbh, I think San went from constant arguing and his furrowing brows to "I like Vee" a bit too quickly, but I won't nitpick, because after all I like it when the show doesn't waste time 😉 Besides, I explained it to myself that San already felt an attraction to Vee, who completely dominated his life, thoughts and feelings and the appearance of a handsome, perfect in every inch rival was the trigger that allowed him to realize his feelings and push him into action. So all good!

I like both MLs in love:

Vee, who is very "new generation" (gen z?), meaning he doesn't do much drama - just vibes, (he even avoids it, what a role model), he can define his feelings, name them, he is NOT AFRAID OF THEM, he can show them, he doesn't care about rules and labels, he doesn't give in to "love" pressure, he can say no quite easily, he doesn't exaggerate, he lives very much in the moment

San is very old-fashioned, but in a good way, he poetically confesses his feelings, he talks a lot about taking care of his loved one, that it is a privilege and honor for him, HE TRIES VERY HARD, which is amazing and I really like how he tried to look nice for Vee, that he did the work to please him and woo and seduce him in an adorable old-fashioned way, to show him that he deserves the best. San is attentieve, he is polite, doting and caring and when he gets rid of inhibitions and resistance, he doesn't hide his feelings, he doesn't hold back with tenderness. I also really liked that he was worried that he wasn't good enough for Vee and that his rival was better and - importantly - did something about it, i.e. confided in Juu and listened to her advice. San doesn't waste any time at all, he immediately sleeps with Vee and invites him to his room. It's nice that they were both so low-drama with all this. I also like jealous San, but I just like jealousy shown well 😏

Since I'm a big fan of free choice in love, I like that San chose Vee, who is not Wat in appearance, personality or memory. EVEN if he turns out to be her reincarnation, he is not her and San consciously chose him, a completely different person from the (idealized) Wat.

A new love (and San's feelings for Vee are new, he is not Wat) cannot appear if the old love still exists. So a girl looking like Wat from a plot point of view can definitely mess up San's life for obvious reasons, but she can't do anything because San's heart already belongs to Vee. UNLESS San's love for Vee dies making room for a new love for the new girl, which as we know won't happen 😄

Is Vee the reincarnation of Wat? I still think not, but honestly, unless Vee regains Wat's full personality, consciousness and memories to replace his previous "Vee-self", it really doesn't matter 😚

The first of my Wild Theories turned out to be wrong (that Vee's grandma is the reincarnation of Wat), but what the show did is super cool and I'm glad they didn't create unnecessary drama and the potential San-grandma relationship was shown in such a lovely, heartwarming and positive way.

The love making scene was amazing, beautiful, romantic, sexy and tasteful at the same time. Both Daou and Offroad are gorgeous, comfortable with each other, it was a feast for the eyes and something very beautiful and romantic 💞💯

Also, excuse me. Sir.

Sir.

Please.

Daou as a seductive, smitten, um, grandpa is everything.

👉👈 ...does anyone else kinda wish Tumblr had an option that allowed you to hide the Note count on posts? Like, just a completely optional thing each user can toggle on/off according to their comfort/preference. Kinda like how insta gives you the option to view the number of likes, or just hide the number completely.

Lil' RSD vent/feeling share below. No pressure to read. Just been meaning to put my feelings down somewhere;

It's just.. for me personally, my mean RSD ridden brain overthinks when I see numbers.. constantly putting me in a state of comparing myself.. or question the appeal of my work.. or making me feel like my value as an artist is measured by that count. And maybe it partly ties into my own weird insecure, self worth feelings. But mostly just.. it makes me get caught in my brain about if my art is even likable or decent enough to be appealing? Or annoying for people to look at? Or.. if the kind of stuff I make isn't a lot of people's cup of tea? I draw nothing but fluffy mush. My brain makes me anxious and insecure if that's boring or.. not interesting enough for others to like. I don't really dabble in angst or what my brain has deemed the, "cooler content."

I know rationally I nor anyone can draw to appease everyone. As I would tell anyone else feeling these types of things, someone out there will enjoy what you do. (And I've met some super kind of people who have said immensely sweet and endearing things about my stuff. And I thank you endlessly for it! /gen 💞)

And ultimately you should just draw what makes you happy to make yourself happy. Draw for yourself first and foremost.

..but

I wish my brain wouldn't emotionally rely on engagement from others for motivation to make art. I wish drawing things that make me happy, and the joy of making it in general was enough to motivate me better.

I don't think this is helped by how slowwww my art process is, and how my undiagnosed ADHD really makes it hard for me to will myself to draw as often as I'd like. My muse comes in spurts, one drawing/sketch can take me days to finish. And after all the energy and time it took, I think maybe I emotionally take things harder and am susceptible to getting disheartened/sensitive when my brain locks in on that number count. Making it a little harder to muster up more desire and energy to wanna draw again.

Sometimes thoughts of, 'when there are so many people that make the things you like to make, and it already exists and they're so cool, good and special for it.. why should you bother trying?'

And as a disclaimer, these are just anxiety-ridden thoughts! I don't think I fully 100% actually believe them!

They're just the thoughts my brain likes to bring to the forefront sometimes. When I'm experiencing RSD or feeling insecure/anxious. (I think these feelings can feel bigger maybe due to how my neurodivergency can affect me too.)

And god is it such a double standard. If any fellow person were sharing similar types of thoughts/feelings, I would have 101 ways to rebuttal and assure those mean thoughts of theirs away.

..but it's so hard to apply to same exact advice/care toward yourself. It's harder when it's you on the inside. You brain has made you feel like you're the exception. Like you don't deserve that same assurance for some reason. (Not saying this is true; just.. how my mean brain likes to talk at me fjdk /hj)

Again, I want to emphasize these aren't rational thoughts. They're just the feelings that get welled up inside me when I feel insecure. (It's one of many talking points I'd love the opportunity to bring up when I'm fortunate enough to get myself a therapist lol <3)

--

💕~Thank you dearly to anyone who was curious and felt they were in a place to read all this. They're just feelings that have been burrowed inside me I haven't really put out there yet. I know this community is super sweet and supportive, which is why I love being here. But I couldn't help feel a bit shy about sharing this stuff.

[tendyourmind]

Think about the last time you truly spent time alone. How did that look like ? How did it feel? Were you getting phone notifications? Or was it completely quiet?

Some might say that spending quiet time in solitary is dreadful and anxiety provoking. But others might say otherwise. I like many others love being in a place of solitude. I truly enjoy my time to myself, in stillness with my phone off, and no sounds or people around me. I like to come to a place of solitude to recharge and connect with my inner self. I understand that there are many benefits to gain from solitary as shared by @flowwithstrength

Here are a few benefits one can gain from the power of solitude 🧘🏽‍♀️🧘🏽

1. Self-Reflection and Growth

Solitude allows for deep self-reflection, helping you connect with your true self and understand your thoughts and emotions better.

2. Mental Clarity

Time alone offers the mental space to clear cluttered thoughts, leading to greater focus, decision-making, and problem-solving abilities.

3. Emotional Balance

Being in solitude helps you regulate emotions without external distractions, enabling you to process and heal from difficult experiences.

4. Creativity Boost

When you're alone, your creativity flourishes. Solitude provides the freedom to explore new ideas and perspectives without outside influence.

5. Increased Self-Reliance

Spending time alone fosters independence and builds confidence, encouraging you to trust your own instincts and capabilities.

6. Mindfulness and Presence

Solitude brings you into the present moment, promoting mindfulness and allowing you to appreciate life more fully.

7. Recharging Mental Energy

Alone time is essential for introverts and extroverts alike, offering a chance to recharge and return to social settings with renewed energy.

8. Improved Relationships

By spending time alone, you become more attuned to your needs and emotions, which enhances your ability to connect meaningfully with others.

It is through the stillness and quiet that we can tap into our deeper parts of ourselves and explore our inners desires, aspirations, fears, needs, and dreams.

We invite you to sit through true silence, no phones, no TV, no people, no pets, and no events happening around you. Find a comfortable place where you can place your physical body and take your mental focus away from all distractions, people, pets, and things.

Then truly take in the power of solitude

Remember to Tend Your Mind and flow with energy 💞⚡️

Hello, K! I hope you're doing well!

I know you're on writer's block, but I was re-reading "The Woman In The Window" from A. J. Finn (a really good book) and I thought: what if the reader had agoraphobia in the past and it resurfaces when the bad guys capture them?

This will be a bit long, but please, bear with me. Agoraphobia, for those who don't know, is the fear of open spaces and situations that might cause embarrassment or helplessness, causing the person with this phobia to not leave their safe space. (Be it their home, their bedroom or whatever place they're comfortable being in). People can come in and talk to them in most of the cases, home therapy is very useful in these cases, but they feel like they can't leave, that it's not safe outside.

So, what if the reader of R&R had been through a traumatic event in the past, had agoraphobia for a period of time and managed to treat it, being able to go outside again; but when the boys captured them and locked them on the cell, the phobia kind of resurfaced and made mc reluctant to leave the cell, thinking it was safer in there? How would the boys act with it?

Thank you for reading until here, and I'm sorry it got a bit too long! Hope you get better!

(I shall name myself:)

No one really knows how to deal with this except for Nightmare, who takes it upon himself to gentle you back into where you were before being cooped up. He'd think it was a nice little snack for a while (and possibly more-- phobias are especially strong negative emotions that are a high dose of power in a very short amount of time) but when it started getting in the way of progress, he'd address it. He'd bring you through the halls, potentially in a hooded cape, into your new room with all the curtains drawn. He lets you stay in your new quarters as long as you'd like to get used to them, and over the next couple of weeks, help you get used to the idea of moving throughout the castle.

He'd coopt the boys for this, too, under the understanding that if they make matters worse (Killer) that they'll be the ones doing the very labor-intensive process of hanging drapery along common halls to make the space a little more inclosed and safe-feeling, which is his contingency in the instance of a relapse.

Baggs, once he gets there, is instantly given the duty of therapy, and congrats, if it's bad enough, you've signed yourself up for several sessions of hypnotherapy.

going anon for this just because i’m a little embarrassed about it lol

i’ve been feeling kind of weird lately because one of my favorite writers on here has started writing a lot of nonconsensual smut stuff. i know i’m well within my right to not read those specific pieces, as she does do her due diligence and provides content warnings, but something about it just makes me feel a little weird? and when i say nonconsensual smut, i mean like it’s harry’s character doing something nonconsensual with the reader or mc, but they end up being into it so it’s still framed as being “sexy.” i’m seeing these stories come up on my dash and i get excited to read them but then i read the content warning and just know that it’s gonna upset me, so i don’t. and it’s been starting to make me question my appreciation for this writer a bit. idk, do i sound ridiculous? do i just need to get over myself? as someone who writes a lot of smut and has dipped your toes into some kinkier stuff, haha, i thought you might have a better perspective on it :)

Omg hi my love!! Nothing to be embarrassed about, fanfic can be a huge part of discovering what we like and don't like, and if something makes you feel uncomfortable, you have every right to question it!

I'm so glad to hear there are content warnings, that's so important, especially for more taboo or kinkier topics!! And I'm so glad you know yourself enough to know not to read something that can upset you!!

I don't know which writer this is, but I can almost promise it's not done with any malicious intent! Sometimes we think we need to writer crazier things in our stories and smut in order to keep an audience! We want to write what no one else has so that way more people will read it and share! And maybe that's what they're doing!

Or maybe the idea is more about Harry introducing the mc to something they didn't realize they would like until it was brought up! And it wasn't intended to read as nonconsensual!

Obviously I don't know that for sure, and if at any point the mc has said the words, "No." and Harry still continued, that would definitely be crossing a very specific line! And would honestly make me uncomfortable, too!

I think you have every right to feel weird about it, especially if it's from an author you love to read from and enjoy following! I think you could message them and admit that you aren't super comfortable and see if they're purposefully writing it that way or if they're open to being more mindful going forward!

But if any author or story ever makes you feel uncomfortable, trust yourself and your instinct! There are some very strange things that get written about in this fandom and I'm even guilty of having written a couple myself! Sometimes we say it's because it's just fanfic and it's not real, but it can feel very real to people!

And if it puts a bad feeling in your stomach, follow that and do what you know is best for you! 💞 Maybe you can mute the author (filter their username) or even mute tags or words that they frequently use so you won't have to see it!!

Again, I'm so proud of you for recognizing this and not trying to force yourself to read anything you don't feel good about!! And I hope this helps even somewhat! If you ever want to talk privately, I'm always always here!!! 💞

[lynne-monstr]

hey Lynne, it's the anon who's stopping by. I just saw your post and wanted to reach out. I really relate to what you said, about how when something bad happens, the strangest tiny details stick with you and give you mixed feelings months later. I'm coming up on the one year anniversary since my own personal shitshow (well we're not quite there yet, but I'm currently living through the anniversary of things that eventually led to the shitshow), and I often find myself having similar thoughts to yours. "oh this was the song I had stuck in my head the week before it all went wrong", "oh I said this exact same sentence on a call with my mom the night before", things like that. it's a strange feeling to deal with. to me it almost feels like grief.

anyway, I thought it might comfort you to hear that you're not the only one having this sort of experience. and I'm glad to see you're doing well overall! I'm very happy for you! 💞

on my end everything still kinda sucks, I'm not gonna lie. I feel like I'm caught between a rock and a hard place, where I technically have two options, one is a bit less painful for me but very painful (emotionally) for someone else (and it's still not an option I particularly like, because it means giving up on something I've been chasing), the other doesn't hurt anyone else, and means there's still a chance of getting the thing I wanted, but until that happens it makes me suffer a lot. sometimes I miss the days when life was simple, even though that's just nostalgia. life is never simple.

oh well. we go forward. one thing I really admire in you is your ability to bounce back, I always found it so impressive how resilient you are (I hope that's not too weird of me to say, if it is I apologise!!). I hope to be like that too, one day

I hope you enjoy your wine and your morning on the balcony!! have a lovely day!

hi lovely anon! thanks for the very nice words, it very much does help to know it's not just me! yeah i think there's definitely an element of grief and processing the way the brain snags on stupid tiny details and magnifies them.

one of the things i did shortly after the shitshow thing went down was to find a new hobby to learn, just so I could stop my brain from constantly thinking that the last time i did some specific thing (heard a song while running; read a particular book; opened my wip document) was before. haha if you can't turn your brain off, tricking it works almost as well. it was very helpful in that regard, and bonus that it gave me a new hobby!

i'm sorry to hear things still aren't great for you. those two options both sound pretty unpleasant. i'm rooting for you, whichever way you eventually decide. from the things you've said and your determination to look forward it sounds like you're handling it as best you can. fingers crossed for better days.

the wine was delicious, thanks! i may go back for a happy hour glass later today :)

[wiltkingart]

hey wilt 🌈 been going thru ur account this morning (apologies for possibly spamming ur notifs with likes etc) and I know you get so many of these messages but like. Idk how to communicate to you how incredible your art is. You said somewhere that colour is possibly one of the weakest parts about your art and I was like. Stunned. Bc the way you use colour .... 👀🤯😱🥵🥴🔥🔥🔥 Like. I have somewhat of a background in art history and your work feels like it could really comfortably sit alongside Michaelangelo (also bc he was gay hehe) etc. Like. Idk. Do you realise how incredible your work is???? I'm shaking you. It's literally like. Wow. I mean you must know from the other messages bc the power it has to inspire ppl to read certain media or draw things or even start hrt. Anyway. I'm shocked to my core and forever changed after this morning even tho I've been following you for a long while. I hope this doesn't come across as like patronising (the bit where I ask if you realise how good you are) bc that's not my intention at all I'm just like. In awe and basking in the glow of your brilliance and I have a really complex relationship with making art myself and almost never use colour for many reasons but I feel So inspired to make after looking at your work which is really rare for me. Idk. Your work is joyful, glittering, maddening, hopeful, inspiring, beautiful etc etc etc etc. So much love to you I hope 2023 is being good to you so far 💓💓💓💖💞

not patronizing at all! i actually haven't felt the greatest about my art lately because my health has been hanging onto the edge of a gutter. it can be exhausting to keep fighting back negative thoughts alongside other physical issues. but i know these thoughts aren't true, and i'm hanging in there. through force of will i'm getting through it :') (and starting new meds soon!)

when i say color is my weakest element i mean that it's the part i struggle the most with. i don't have a solid grasp on how it works, so i have to rely on intuition and lately i've been using more references. i feel the most limited by color due to my shaky understanding of it. it takes a lot of time and experimentation with every piece to find something that feels good. but color is a very complex element! and i can only get better thru time and perseverance, and trying to absorb as much information as i can from the refs i use.

i don't think i'll ever have a scientific understanding of color or even enough solid ground to be someone who can make tutorials or explain it to other people. but on the flipside that means i can keep using colors i like even if that means they don't make sense. there's a charm in the unnatural! there's expression in existing outside the rules! as long as i keep taking risks and keep my mind open to learning, and use colors that make me smile, i'll be alright.

thanks for the incredibly kind message, it was very unexpected especially since i haven't posted much art for a long time. i'm hopeful that spring will be a good time for me. well wishes to you and yours, and i hope that creation can become a source of freedom for you rather than complexity. if the rules don't make sense, make your own <3

obrigada, my darling ❤❤❤❤❤

You never fail to make me speechless 😭😭 thank you so much 💚💚

I actually had a little more work to write this chapter because, in addition to all the unforeseen events that happened in my life in the last few months, writing smut is still a challenge for me. I confess that I was a little insecure to post this chapter 🙊

I like to research, watch scenes from movies and series that inspire me to be able to imagine and then write. And I only feel comfortable writing when I'm alone in the room, that's when inspiration flows, and lately I haven't been able to be alone 🥲

Honestly, if it was me in real life I would have jumped the table and kissed Jeno right there 🤣🤣 but it's more fun that way, isn't it? 😏

I have so many expectations for this moment I can't wait, I even created a special playlist for that!

This one, I found it on Pinterest and thought it was so beautiful, I had to put it in the story!

I know I have to honor the name of my blog but I was surprised at myself for dreaming this kind of thing up 🙈

You are so good to me, I don't even know how to thank you 😭🫶🏻

[zhongrin]

I am glad ya are <33 and yes I am!! (Help;; already fainting at the thought of Baizhu and- 🏃💨)

This your man?

This sounds great ngl IFJEISVEIEOSBSB

imagine merman Zhongli whoa-;; ❤️

And oh, I understand now OFBSKKSBSJ we stan hoarder Zhongli <33

I always ask ppl before I send them drabbles cuz I don't wanna make anyone uncomfortable 🥹 and dw, I only send drabbles when I feel like it - won't pressure myself <33

HELP FODHSHSISJSHSJ Baizhu makes me a mess already enough, and my love for Baizhu isn't comparable so Nawh, only Baizhu it is ❤️

Ahh I ✨ see ✨

I would say he kinda is (my bestie even hcs him as a very jealous type omfg), but he doesn't need to worry - he is the only one for me ❤️

Umm I wanna ask what language these pet names are, I doubt they're English, are they? Care to translate? 🤸💞

And cjdjsvwksojaja read this post before I write this ask here! And idjfbsj ITS SO CUTE. HELP. MY ZHONGRIN HEART.

I'm kinda shy when it comes to collabs and matchups and stuff heh;; I only feel kinda comfortable when it's from my mutuals 🏃💨

Omg Rin you're a menace for calling Alhaitham "babe" just to fluster him, and I absolutely love that, 10/10 <33 ❤️

Nodnod yes yes for me Alhaitham seems like the type of guy who doesn't use pet names that much cuz he thinks your name is already so beautiful<3 💞

Mmm I would call Baizhu often "my sunshine" cuz he brightens up my life day by day just by simply existing <3 not too often "Bai" though (cuz I for myself get flustered by it ????? HELP DONT JUDGE ME DKDJBSKSOA) and only if it gets serious or sum then I call him by his name heh (when I am totally lovestruck then I even call him "my everything")

But Baizhus pet names for me um.. I brainrotted with my bestie bout it and she said he would totally call me "my angel" - cuz 1. I often get called that by my friends, 2. she said he would surely see me like a gift from the Gods themselves - like an angel yk? 🏃💨 (Flustering myself rn OFHDJWJWB), sometimes also "my dear", or when it gets serious "Dresvi" or when he is real bold and when he wants to see me becoming a blushing mess for the whole day - then by my real name heh. (Maybe even with a "my" infront of it)

My favorite dates? Honestly every date I get to spend with Baizhu, doesn't really matter where or when <33 but for a proper answer: spending time together on our favorite spot, often watching the sunrise / sunset, stargazing - or a picnic on it.. maybe even taking a stroll around Liyue Harbor or sum heh (I'm a simple person 🤸❤️)

What about you, dear Rin? <333 💞💞

(hELP Rin I also enjoy reading your answers sm, it's so cute how ya are gushing about your hubby's!! Please continue <33 and my asks make you smile?? OMG HELEOSHJSJ I am so so glad aaaaaa 💞💞❤️❤️💞💞🤸)

baizhu and ayato fighting over the adorably blush dresvi.... hehehe both has their own attractiveness and will woo you with different ways methinks. ayato sees baizhu giving you flowers and he goes off to send you ten large bouquets straight to your doorstep. baizhu sees ayato kissing your hand as a goodbye greeting and now he does that AND offers you his arm so he can escort you everywhere <3 oh fair maiden, who will win your heart? ;)

that's my man alright look at him isn't he majestic. he hides in his hidey hole most of the time, it's v cute i swear i'm not insane

look at how derpy he is????

also hsldkfjslkdjf merman zhongli.... ouffffhhasjdklajsd he hoards pretty shells and rocks and gives me gifts. how can i not love him 😭

jealous baizhu makes sense bc i think he would have this innder fear of not being enough for you and he's afraid you'll find someone better ;w; pls reassure him and give him all the pats and kithes and reassurance <3

ah yes some of them are indo and chinese hehe

'xiànɡ ɡonɡ' means 'hubby' / 'husband'. 'yang' is shortened form of 'sayang' which, translated to english it's like 'darling' or 'dear'!

'lǎo pó' means 'wife', and 'tiánxīn' is a chinese pet name, kinda like 'sweetheart'. 'nik' is... how do i describe it uh it comes from 'nonik' which is a cute way to call a female young girl, but it also can be used as a cute nickname for a guy to call a girl (my dad calls my mom that irl hehehe)

ah i see, no that's totally understandable!! do whatever you're comfortable to do! and i'm always happy to gush over our selfships anyway hehehe

yk what, al haitham would probaly tease me back by calling me a petname BUT from a different language. like ancient sumerian or something (that 20 languages fluency is coming in handy). and he would refuse to translate it for me bc he's secretly a menace >:T

...... does that mean when you say goodye to baizhu you'd say "bai bai bai"? ...... g-get it? bc bai sounds like bye and- /is shot

calling them by their full name when it's serious is such a nice trope hahahah (if i call zhongli "rex lapis" he immediately knows it's serious hsldfjklsdj)

"my sunshine" "my angel" "my dresvi" omggggg i also can see him calling you 'my flower' or 'my violetgrass' (ykyk bc it's his ascension mats hehehee)

NO BC SAMEEEEE i feel like with zhongli he would drag me out to nature a lot (i'm an indoor person most of the time but i love tagging along with my friends if they want to go outside and explore nature) so yes!! strolls in liyue plains and by the docks or seashores would be something we do a lot!! that, or us visiting teashops or eating outside while listening to storytellers or operas... otherwise if i really really don't want to go out that day, we'd just cuddle at home and cook together in the kitchen hehe

with al haitham, there's a lot of indoor dates lol if sumeru has a book cafe with a good coffee, we'd both frequent that place every week lol he would be reading and i'd be either reading along with him or occassionally feeding him food while he's reading about complex physics things lol

(DON'T MIND IF I DO OH GOD THESE ANSWERS ARE GETTING LONGER AND LONGER HELP HLADKJFLSD)

[taegularities]

Hello lovely Rid 💕💕💕

First of all...

okaaaaay 👀👀👀 I don't like seeing sad Jungkook (or sad Rid for that matter) but short hair Jungkook makes me crazy, so I'll take it.

Also I wanted to ramble about who I'm a bigger simp for, since you posted that cruel poll making me choose.

So basically, I'm really really obsessed with c&f Jungkook and I can't even pinpoint the exact reason why? I've said this before but I've never been more whipped for a man who I don't fully trust so quickly. There was just something about him that had me from the beginning, even with his very questionable looking intentions. So I'm a big simp for him in a more base level way? Like it's almost involuntary lmaooo.

And then for cmi Jungkook... I mean he has my whole heart. He might be my favourite fictional Jungkook ever actually... Literally all sides of him (that we've seen so far) I'm in love with. Just writing about him right now has me going 🥺🥺🥺. I'm ready to protect him at all costs and he also makes me crazy (in all kinds of ways). maybe i'll save the love letter for him for the cmi anniversary i mean what?

I love both of them a lot though. Thinking about both the c&f epilogue and cmi8 gives me emotional whiplash.

Other than that though, how are you doing, Rid? I saw that you're feeling a little sick and once again I'm ready with all the virtual blankets and tea and hugs since I can't take care of you irl 🥺 I hope you get through it very very soon!!!

I've been feeling very emotional and a little melancholic myself recently. But today I listened to d day and it actually made me feel loads better, Yoongi just always knows how to comfort 🥺 I also got started on a paper that I'm excited to write, for which I received unexpectedly good feedback while I was still at the planning stages! Trying to focus on the good things and set up a good base for when my exam season starts.

I hope you feel better soon Rid, sending you all of my love 💞💞💞

IVI LOL, you really do point out the subtlest things !!! did not think anyone would catch that haircut bit, but look at you :'))

i think you're a simp for c&f jk bc you know a good man when you see one... despite his initially questionable behaviour, he truly is a sweet bean who tends to act monstrous (in bed) at times lmao so i understand the obsession... :')

and i know, cmi jk is just 😭 thank you for loving him so much, tbh he might be my fav jk i've written so far too :(( my lil baby :(( and i can't wait for his return :((((

thank you, ivi !! :') i hate that this happens, idk why i get colds so frequently ?? like i spent most of yesterday and today napping and it sucksss lmao i want to be productive, too :') but i'll take the blankets i love you 🤍🥺 so happy you've been well !! despite the melancholy... i get that feeling. there must be something in the air, bc everyone's been very emotional these days. i'm so glad you have stuff you can look forward to, though, and i hope that mood stays bc you deserve it 💕

(also i've been wanting to say this — i know you said i don't need to be, but im so sorry for being slow with answering at times... you send such thoughtful and incredibly kind thoughts and then i feel bad. but i want to answer just as thoughtfully and the current time has been beating my ass lmao sorry again but i love you rambling and will always get to it bc i love you so fkn much 😭🥺🤍)
