#this is such a tough situation

[cowboysprayer]

how do i signal to ppl at my church that im veiling in a 'i'm having fun wearing lace on my head' way and not a tradfem 'women must cover their hair' way

anon this is like The Dilemma for most christians trying to veil for their own reasons and not "woman submit to husband" reasons i fear😭

unfortunately, tradfems really have reclaimed veiling in church as a type of signaling so this is pretty hard.

a way that i think you could try is trying to make your veil look less traditional. so if you're using a traditional mantilla for example, maybe secure it using some cute colorful hair pins. just little signs to show that you're not trying to play into the whole "im a traditional woman ❤️" thing. this could also involve wearing patterned scarves or bandanas, that aren't as traditional.

same thing with clothing, like i love wearing maxi skirts, but i find that the maxi skirt lace veil combo can be a Bit Much. if you're wearing pants of any kind with your veil you're less likely to give off tradwife

i will say wearing your veil occasionally outside of church can also help show you do it for yourself/non tradfem reasons

lastly, you can always veil traditionally and let your actions speak for themselves. be welcoming and non judgmental. people might come up to you thinking that you're a tradfem and you can simply explain to them that you veil for god, or bc it makes you feel good! or even say it's personal.

i know that being visibly religious can be difficult, bc we get associated with people who cause a lot of harm to others (sometimes to communities that we are a part of), but it's important that we stay strong and show that there are christians who are religious and queer and feminist and we don't feel like comprising on any part of our lives

i hope this helped and i hope that whatever you do it makes your heart happy <33

Hualian every 200 or so pages: "You are everything to me. I choose you in this life, the next one, in death and beyond. But we are, however, knee deep in blood and entrails and my sleep paralysis demon is hunting me so we have to keep things pushing."

Headcanoning the Stolls as sons of chthonic Hermes and Katie as a daughter of Demeter Erinys (Demeter when she was grieving Persephone and killing everything) is fun because

A. using the epithets gives ways to explore powers for non-big three kids (THEY ARE CHILDREN OF GODS WHY THE FUCK CAN THE HERMES KIDS ONLY OPEN LOCKS AND RUN 'FAST')

B. Demeter got another one of her daughters falling for a Chthonic dude and she does not like it.

Monster (or not?)

It was a normal day for the Justice League, nothing special had happened, but Batman seemed to have a bad feeling. So when the alarm went off, he was prepared for almost anything.

Unfortunately, not much can prepare you for a 10-foot ice-covered, invincible Eldritch in the middle of Gotham. As much as the League tried, they didn't seem to do any damage to it (Jason was the first to notice that the creature wasn't attacking, just defending itself; he frowned at the observation).

From there, many strange things began to happen. First: A group of people dressed in white (which, frankly, they had never seen before in their lives) fanned out around the League, giving them weapons capable of harming the "creature" and pointing out to them that it was a "ghost", giving information about it.

Second, a pair of colorful scientists stood at the center of all the agents in white, though they seemed to be arguing with each other. One looked murderous, while the other looked... tired, almost guilty.

Third and last, a group of students kept trying to get closer. Jason thought they were suicidal until he heard the girl in purple tell them to leave "Danny" alone. She seemed to be silenced quickly, but the detail stuck in his head.

With a bad feeling, Jason turned to the college kids. A red-haired girl stood in the center of them, holding a chunk of ice? and watching the creature at the center of it all. While the League dealt with the agents in white, Jason decided to listen to them.

"He's my brother," the redhead said as soon as she saw him, "he's not a monster, they broke his core, please, you need to understand"

Jason looked at the creature again, although its body was mostly black, he could see ice covering a crystal in the center, it looked broken, he suspected that was his "core". At the same moment, Bruce finished talking to the men in white and accepted the weapons.

Danny was frightened and panicked. His form changed when his core broke in the middle of a fight, the GIW had shot him, and he didn't know how to retreat to his original form. His words came out only in Ghost speak, and the heroes around him looked ready to kill him, which didn't help his ice control.

So are we gonna talk about how it has been established that a combination of remorse and forgiveness can save someone from hell?

And, banking off of that, if Charles' dad passes away he could potentially have the power to decide wether he gets sent to hell or not.

Prior to being there himself I think he would never have forgiven him. However, after going through hell and seeing what it does to people I'd imagine someone as empathetic as him would feel like nobody deserves an eternity of that. It would be a very interesting idea to explore, the state of his trauma after 30+ years with the guilt he might feel (entirely unjustified as it may be) over having the option to save anyone from Hell and choosing not to. Especially if in this scenario his father is incredibly remorseful and begs for forgiveness.

It would be really interesting to get a parallel to the scene with Edwin and Simon, however it may play out.

Ashton really is providing great contrast to this conversation. Like, yes we need to discuss if perhaps Liliana could be swayed, that's important. But it's equally important to remember that Imogen does not know her, and that familial connection they share could nonetheless effect and manipulate Imogen in dangerous ways. They're providing that good, stark contrast to round out the conversation, and it's something that needs to be heard

still having Mental Problems, still terrified down to my bones of working on my WIPs that involve multiple scenes and plot progression, so i'm returning to my roots with a story that's more or less one long filthy extremely emotional sex scene. for comfort. like such:

Vanessa kisses Logan first, and it’s a pretty fantastic ego boost the way he just goes for it, so needy and so instantly open to anything she wants to give him. For about ten seconds, anyway, which is when he goes rigid and jerks away and looks over to her other side, at Wade. And his eyes are so fucking miserable and ashamed, if Wade doesn’t clear this shit up in the next five seconds Vanessa is going to push their faces together like Ken dolls and make kissing noises until they both get a clue.

Logan’s already apologizing when Wade grabs his hand--the way Logan automatically holds on so tight makes her heart go all weird for a second--and says, “Hey, no, it’s okay. You’re good. We--" He looks at Vanessa. She raises her eyebrows and offers no help. “We saw you from across the bar and we really like your vibe?” Wade tries.

Logan stares at him blankly, the furrow in his brow getting even deeper.

"Okay," Wade says, “I guess you’re not really up on the last ten years of memes, huh. So. Uh.” He bites his lip. Vanessa elbows him not quite hard enough to crack a rib. “Ow fuck--we want you,” he says finally, his face more open and soft than she’s ever seen it with someone else in the room besides her. Except recently, when Logan’s not looking and Wade thinks Vanessa isn’t.

Simply imagining an intimate scenario where they maintain sensual, knowing eye contact throughout their fit, no matter how intense it gets – only ever parting when they involuntarily close their eyes to sneeze – makes me unreasonably warm and giddy inside 🥰

If [Ja’Marr’s] coming to the sideline to tell me something, I’m gonna listen to that guy and I’m gonna throw him the ball.

Thinking lately about Izuku(a civilian now) getting caught up in some Villain shenanigans(think like a random hostage situation or heist/robbery)(he is literally at the wrong place at the wrong time) and the possibilities of what could happen.

The possibilities of the civilians recognizing him and hoping for him to save them? Him doing his best to keep them all together and calm?

The possibilities of whether or not the villains recognize him or slowly start to figure it out? Do they know he's actually Quirkless now and try to take advantage of that? Or do they think he still has powers and immediately try to restrain and overpower him?

How Izuku either fights back or tries to thwart the villains? How he stays quiet at first, but is observing and analyzing the crap out of them and their Quirks?(while it's technically illegal for him to act as a hero, he also wouldn't stand down if the villains were threatening to harm any of the hostages)

If he has an actual altercation with them? And what if he gets injured? (I imagine he can hold his own reasonably well in a hand to hand fight! He still trains and is in shape, maybe even spars with Kacchan, and he has that extremely high pain tolerance! But he still gets clocked especially if he's trying to prevent them from doing harm)

And what happens when GEMG DynaMight gets to the scene. And does Katsuki know before hand that Izuku is involved of find out afterward when Izuku is released with the hostages? Or when he busts in to stop them and sees Izuku himself??

Or do the villains know enough about Izuku and Katsuki to make Izuku their primary hostage and hold Izuku hostage for some sort of ransom or deal with DynaMight?

And do they know enough to know that that's pretty much a death wish for them?

How about Izuku being just cool as a cucumber even though they're threatening DynaMight bc he knows enough about these suckers now to know that they are no match for Dynamight....much less when he is ANGRY.

Or how bout Izuku actually trying to talk them out of their dumb idea (full on teacher voice activated) because he knows they're petty criminals who are acting this way for a reason, but they shouldn't add kidnapping to their rapsheet.

DynaMight busting in and busting them, of course, and putting the fear of god into the villains whenever he is aware of Izuku being involved. He takes it personally, maybe hitting the guy holding down izuku a little harder than the others before arresting them.

What about when Katsuki gets Izuku out of there, he fusses endlessly over Izukus injuries and bloody face, and refuses to let Izuku go home by himself(he needs to be monitored for a concussion, that's all!)

I MEAN WHY HAVE WE NOT THOUGHT MORE ABOUT THIS ASPECT THERES SO MUCH POTENTIAL HERE.

If this is a fic already I really want to read it... Daniart already made an art to this theme and I saw it today, meanwhile I have definitely been pondering it for a day or two *bkdk brainmeld*

to me. alpha is the same as dew. alpha is dew if he never had the support of his pack.

alpha NEEDED love and compassion. but it's hard to give love and compassion to someone who lashes out at the slightest provocation.

omega tried. he DID love alpha. for a long time. but the obsession and the violence and the blaming omega for alpha's outbursts was too much.

it's hard when every negative feeling burns up inside you and comes out of your mouth as anger. and you feel out of control, because once you start you can't stop, and that terrifies you, and that just adds fuel to the fire and you just get meaner. and all you want is for him to take you into his arms and tell you it's okay, but you won't let him, and he's raising defenses against you, and he's retreating and you're digging your claws in and you're scared and desperate and you can't stand the idea of being alone

and then he leaves you. and then you're alone. you have your old pack. the first ghouls you played with, years ago, but they're not exactly the emotional type. they're cold and sharp and they keep to themselves and you tell yourself that's fine with you. you tell yourself you're fine with only ever sharing the warmth of another ghoul when you're a means to an end.

and you get meaner. and colder. and all the hurt inside you turns to steel in your gut. and you can't stand to think about the possibility that maybe, just maybe. if you'd had the love, it wouldn't be this way.
