#unless you’re honest

[lume-nosity]

dad i like someone what do i do IM GOING INSANE OVER THIS GUYWHAG

you confess.

i’m kidding, but you have to be honest with him eventually. if you see him continue to do the little things that make you quite literally collapse on the floor more often than usual or you see signs of him showing some sort of interest, i don’t think it’ll do you justice to just sit there and be like: “head empty just him in particular” forever,,

if you like someone, even if you don’t think you do, it can develop from ‘nah i don’t like them’ to ‘OH MY GOD I LIKE THEM’ realllll fast. (trust me on this one because the realization would hit you like a train)

judging from your ask it seems that you’re head over heels for him,,, because of that it’s either go big or go home. nothing would happen if you don’t do anything /nm

Idk man…I’ve literally never heard of men shaving bc their leg hair is ‘itchy’ or the hairy feeling is ‘uncomfortable’. Somehow I doubt that it’s a feeling only affects females.

All this discourse about what Gerry should look like is honestly just pissing me off a little. Everyone is screaming at each other ‘he’s goth, he’s still goth!’ And ‘he’s NOT goth, he’s a metalhead!’

Bruh what’s the fucking issue?? He wears black and had a leather trench coat, he dies his hair black, we saw him rep a metal band tee once, he could literally be goth and also listen to metal why is anyone arguing about this????

I’m sorry but what’s the point of being alternative if you’re forcing people into a little box that doesn’t ever overlap with anything ever

Valentine's Day Starter for @theirmadness (Wanda)

The trickster thought it was a joke when he was told of the cultural significance of what the 14th of February held to Midgardians. Not the part where there was a day to revel and celebrate the one you love, but humans seemed to take things to an extreme level.

He knew he had known naught much of who the lovely woman, red hair whipping around, caught in the wind, as she spoke to what Loki assumed were the remaining Hero of Earth- no, not anything of her actually, but what he did know was that his ignorance was not acceptable.

Throughout the past few weeks, the God found himself cloaking his presence with his air, his magic, just to try to see what captivated him so much about her, Wanda. Wanda Maximoff, it was, actually.

But each tidbit of information he would ingest about her only spurred his intrigue on even more to the point where Loki found himself in the parking lot of a Walmart- Why would one need a mart that only contains walls? -on the eve of the romance holiday and... well, this was not what he was expecting at all.

This was utter chaos. Humans hoarding too much chocolate or some crying over something else while holding just as much wine?

No.

No, thank you.

With that, Loki simply drew his cloak over his form and traveled back to the midguardian housing he had come to use regularly when checking in on this universe, and with a frown on his lips, he dropped to the emerald green chaise in the room and thought.

Well. He never did anything the proper way, anyway, did he? That thinking is what led him into simply only being a suspicious man, dressed impeccably well if you ask him, crouching on the floor of the Compound that Wanda, the one with mystical abilities that drew him in more and more, lived in a while casually strolling through what blagger-dash was on the entertainment box as he grew less and less patient yet more and more nervous for reasons he knew not of.

Where was she?

He had to meet her after the way she became the only thing to go through his mind daily for a while.

And no, not once did the Prince think that his plan was not exactly the best and would've been advised against following through should he have told anyone what he was doing but-

Oh! The main room's door sounded as if it were being unlocked and opened.

However... when one bothers to think about any of this for a moment longer than need be, they would have to be confused as to why Loki, much less anyone, thought it would be a good idea to break into a secure facility all under the guise of intrigue.

Yet, he was not a complete baffoon. In his hand were a small bouquet of wild flowers he had picked from Asguard prior to his departure. He did listen to his mother sometimes, believe it or not.

Now... he just had to wait for something to happen.

ive never had media i can be not normal about offline but yesterday my former roommate came to hang out with me and watch one piece together and OHHHHHHH my god. we started talking about zoro’s earrings and how we would lowkey want triples just to match his and ive never felt so insane and when i talk about his Gender she UNDERSTANDS. luffy started singing his moron song and we started WHEEZING and died TOGETHER

[genderqueer-karma]

guys can i talk about that fucking guy. clap if you think i should talk about that fucking guy.

(accidental ramble in the tags. oops. don’t read if you don’t want to read a crisis.)

I think it’s funny because the same people who say this will turn around and go “I love this song about murdering my neighbours so my dead girlfriend can come back to life!” and “I love listening to this album where a man makes a deal with the devil to kill a thousand evil men to bring back his girlfriend!” and “I listen to (genre known for being shocking and talking about dark topics)!” and “I listen to a song that literally talks about committing suicide!” and the favourite “My favourite artist is a raging bigot and I still listen to them Idc if they’re problematic <33” but when Eazy E sings about killing people,hiding bodies and when any rapper talks about the benign fucking, now all of a sudden “Rap is all about sex,money and drugs” “Rap is so bad”.

I relate to so much of this post as a black person on the internet😭

a lot of people are dismissing the "violent" rap music rushing and scrambling to say well not ALL rap is violent here's some rappers who don't rap about violence but like. idk. I think the "violent" rap is important to listen to as well. do you know why gangs exist? do you know why Compton is the way that it is? can you listen to the experiences of black men when you can't personally relate on any level? or will you dismiss an entire genre of music because certain sub genres make you feel a bit uncomfortable as a non-black person?

How do grandmothers find esoteric medicine. My grandma rocked up with benylin that contains diphenhydramine and it’s even within the expiry date. Where did she find this

Some of you need to understand that no one has ever changed their beliefs because some rando in a video is telling them to in a very condescending way

[halfricanloveyou]

EXACTLY. the whole thought behind the “therapy speak” thing is that it was taught that “i feel that” statements come off as less accusatory than “you are” statements, and that it gives the other person you’re speaking to an opportunity to explain their intentions. it’s meant for people who aren’t trying to sound accusatory or like they’re trying to blame anybody when bringing up a concern or issue. it’s also supposed to help the other person you’re talking to to be less defensive.

the problem is that if you are being accusatory and blaming someone, how you start your sentence doesn’t matter. and to be honest, “i feel” statements have never really been all that effective. as someone who has always had communication difficulties i’ve been told this lots of times. it’s much much much more effective to just say “hey, i don’t wanna come off as sounding upset or like i’m blaming you, but it seems like…” that way if they DO feel your tone is accusatory they know you are not intentionally trying to make it sound that way.

the key is that you have to actually not want to upset or offend the other person and think something through before you talk to them, and then you have to genuinely want to care or listen to what they say in response. if you’re “feelings” won’t change than saying how you feel is just prioritizing yourself in any situation. and most people can tell when you aren’t going to listen to them.

my take on the whole “is therapy speak making us selfish” thing is no, it’s not. it’s just giving people who were already selfish some extremely annoying new vocabulary

super shy.

synopsis … squid game women with a timid s/o ꨄ︎.

pairings … se-mi, sae-byeok, no-eul, jun-hee, ji-yeong, hyun-ju x fem!reader (separately)

warnings … fem reader, non game au, and a few are maybe ooc?

lovely notes … two posts in two days, we rejoice again!

꩜ [ 855 words ]

se-mi / player 380 is the polar opposite of you. while you’re timid, she’s a very assertive woman who isn’t apprehensive about expressing herself.

if needed, she’d speak up or defend you from someone without a second thought. she often finds herself doing simple things like ordering your food for you or speaking for you in awkward social settings.

she finds your timidness cute at times, like when you shy away from her compliments.

“hey, you look pretty with your hair down.” “oh, thank you se-mi. it looks, like, average.” “be honest, you look stunning with it down. you should wear it like that more, pretty.”

the way she was able to fluster you every time will never get old to her. she loved to say flirty things for the hell of it, and to of course catch you off guard.

she has a habit of including you in whatever conversation she’s having, whether she realizes she’s doing it or not. it’s more of a subconscious doing of hers. though, she knows when and when to not drag you into discussions of hers.

she hates to see someone targeting you, especially if they know your shy personality. she steps in without a second thought to handle the situation for you.

sae-byeok / player 067 is alike to you in many ways. she never makes an effort to put herself out there unless completely necessary.

in social situations, she doesn’t mind stepping in and doing most of the communication for you.

she’s the first to defend you if someone tests you, because how dare someone come to you when they’re aware of your timidness? especially in her presence?

“hey, i got you. lemme know if they say something to you again.” “it’s fine. i can handle my own, sae-byeok.” “mhm. you better tell me.”

she coaxes you to keep to yourself rather than speak out. weirdly enough, she likes being the only person you trust enough to be vocal around. she likes the dependency.

no-eul / guard 011 doesn’t exactly lack courage or confidence, she just isn’t an outspoken woman. she keeps to herself most of the time, similar to you.

similar to se-mi, she likes to fluster you at every waking moment. she enjoys seeing the bashful look on your face whenever she constantly compliments you.

while she encourages you to speak up for yourself more often than not, she doesn’t mind stepping in for you.

“hey, defend yourself next time.” “i was planning to. you just.. beat me to it.” “whatever you say.”

she knows how you struggle to express yourself, but she teases you nonetheless. it’s all in good faith, though. she knows when you’ve reached your limits.

jun-hee / player 222 is similar to you in numerous ways. while she isn’t exactly timid, she doesn’t find herself speaking out in a lot of situations.

if it comes down to it, she’ll speak for you without a doubt. but if she knows you can handle your own, she’d leave you to it.

she frequently teases you for how bashful you are, as if she isn’t so similar to you.

“you’re so shy, so quiet.” “jun-hee, please shut up.” “oh, so she does speak?”

the two of you can often sit in silence for hours on end, basking in the presence of one another. you don’t speak many words because the solace between you two is more than enough.

she’s the perfect person to be around if you find serenity in quiet rather than deafening settings.

ji-yeong / player 240 is a bright difference from you. she’s very bubbly, outspoken, and animated.

you two look like an unlikely couple, like opposites that people wouldn’t expect to be together. but ji-yeong is adamant about the idea that opposites attract.

if needed, she can always speak up for you. as odd as it sounds, she enjoys speaking up for you when you’re in a non-verbal state.

“hey, want me to speak for you?” “ji-yeong, as much as i love you, i need to speak up for myself.” “okay.. but please take me up on my offer in the future.”

she feels a sort of protectiveness around you. given you’re her partner, but especially with your shy nature. it’s like a need to shield you from anything and anyone.

hyun-ju / player 120 is quite the contrast, as she was never really nervous or bashful. she asserts herself in most circumstances, unlike yourself.

she stands up for you without hesitation, mainly because she knows firsthand what it’s like to be belittled by others.

she’s been in so many situations in which others have degraded her so she knows how to deal with it easily.

“come to me if they say something else to you, yeah?” “of course. thank you so much, hyun-ju. i don’t know what i’d do without you.” “don’t mention it.”

even though it’s hard to believe, you’re able to fluster her rather than the other way around. any lovey-dovey thing you say has her gone.

she enjoys sitting in silence with you, just like jun-hee. comfortable tranquility with someone she cherishes cannot be beaten.
