#this entire thing

[toshidou]

He lets his eyes flutter closed, allows himself to indulge in all of the affection you provide him with, and though there's still that voice in the base of his skull screaming that he doesn't deserve it, he thinks maybe your words can drown it out.

Look at you, turnin' me into a sap. But I don't mind...

One of his large hands comes up to play with the ends of your hair, and he's still fascinated by how strong you are, how valiant you are, despite him giving you every reason to turn your back , your lips are leaving little traces of love on his face and he might be able to stay longer than he ever thought possible. If you'd allow him. If you'd like for him to. And he thinks that, maybe, you just might.

Listen, sweetheart, I don't trust easily. I'm kind of an asshole that way. So if we're gonna do this—be this—I need to be sure that you're in it. That this isn't just some short term thing to get your rocks off to. Because...

His voice waivers slightly, and his eyes pull down to the space between your bodies. Hesitance is a foreign thing to him, nearly as foreign as vulnerability, and he's still not quite sure how to hold it in his mouth. He tries to be delicate about it, but it comes out too rough, too crude. He hopes that you can see through it was well as you see through everything else about him.

Because I don't think I can handle short term. Not with you. Never with you.

-Simon "Ghost" Riley

His words coax a demure grin from my lips, a soft, sweet smile meant only for him. It's hopelessly endearing watching him learn to open up, like Bambi attempting to walk for the first time, helplessly clumsy but determined, with purpose. I take a hold of his hand from where it tangles amongst my hair and pull it down, until his fingers are pressed against the pulse point in my neck, the feeling of my stuttering heartbeat pulsing against his touch.

I can promise you wholeheartedly that the only 'short term' you will ever have to worry about in relation to me is my height. And even then I think that works in your favour a good 99% of the time.

I pause, fingers still pressing his against my neck, feeling strangely exposed and vulnerable at the prospect of him sensing every spike of my heart rate. But it feels like the only way to truly make him understand my sincerity, to make him feel the truth the body cannot disguise.

I'm not going anywhere. Not without you. Not now, or ever. I know there's no way to prove that to you, not yet, but I want to.

It takes a strength within me I wasn't aware I possessed to look him in the eye, knowing I was laid bare before him in a way I wasn't entirely used to.

Will you let me?

genuine question, do you actually dox people who say mean things? i'm so afraid to send asks in fear i say something and you misunderstand it and get offended which = doxxing me. i just wanted to ask because ur one of my fav writers but you scare me soso bad 🥲 /gen

tone indicators are encouraged if you think i’ll take it a certain/different way!! i don’t dox but i’m not letting that shit slide.

this blog is a safe place for everyone and i mean it, including me. i’m not going to take certain things lightly if people are telling me they don’t care about an event regarding my personal life and trying to get me to get over it?? just so i can finish a piece of fanfiction?? i’m gagging.

as long as you aren’t being a cunt, i don’t care what you say to me lol. most things i take as jokes bcs that’s the type of person i am, unless you’re disrespecting me or sending in anything offensive/discriminatory, nothing will happen.

[fangirl-central]

adding to the last point: i’ve never written fanfic, but even READING fanfic about female characters can be a chore because you usually have to use your imagination ​to fill in the lack of complex and realistic characteristization that canon has left underdeveloped and empty. plus there’s a higher chance the author writes them out of character and/or just fills in the gaps in a completely different way than YOU fill in the gaps, i.e. you have vastly different headcanons. bc there’s barely any actual canon about that female character. every single thing in this post hits home.

It just kills me when writers create franchises where like 95% of the speaking roles are male, then get morally offended that all of the popular ships are gay. It’s like, what did they expect?

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

guys i'm truly anxious about the election hysteria detracting from attention that should be going into fundraisers, so ahead of all the ruckus i genuinely think it's important to remember and that fundraisers remain paramount. platforming campaigns periodically is one of very few ways we can help and i'm worried many people will lose sight of that in the midst of the pointless discourse about the election. but it's literally all smoke and mirrors and none of it makes a tangible difference the way fundraising does

There's no such thing as overpreparing for love.

Happy (late) Rarijack Valentine's.

I guess Chilchuck has brought us right back to 'adults who are short are child-coded and if you like them you're a pedophile' discourse huh

Quilt update. This is split somewhere in the blues and I have to sew that together and then I have to add one more yellow row to the top. Then the quilt top is finally, finally done.
