#waking up to this ask made my day

[juuuulez]

imagine dating mikey while carmy's at noma and he's always going on about how talented he is

the scene where he shows tina the photo :( he's so soft, i can't-

jon bernthal, you are a national treasure <3

OMG😍😍 staup he’s so cute and he would just gloat so much at every opportunity. like, if you didn’t know him beforehand, mikey would be dropping the fact that his brother is a chef on the first date. he thinks it’s vital information.

carmy will send through some image of a fancy plate with leaves and colours and all that jazz. if you’re somewhere else, mikey is forwarding you the picture, and if you’re there he’s leaning over to show you.

“is that supposed to be edible?” you’ll quip with a grin, poking mild fun at how neither of you would be able to identify a single ingredient on that plate. looks like maybe some strange gels and.. leaves?

“fuck, if i know.” mikey laughs, taking the phone back to squint at the image. “y’wanna say somethin’?”

“yeah, yeah. send him that emoji with, like, the stars on the eyes.”

there’s a beat of silence, presumably while he’s searching for the emoji in question. you should’ve expected this much, for he promptly relents, waving the phone in frustration.

“pick something normal to say!” he huffs, jaw clenched in attempts not to smile when your face outright splits into a grin. now you’re snickering at him, leaning over to swipe the phone.

you sit there, bringing up the little search bar to find the emoji within a few seconds. “you didn’t even look properly.” you chastise him. “so old.”

“hey! i’m not fuckin’ old, richie’s old. dude has a kid, that makes someone old.” mikey contests when the phone is handed back, looking to the string of emoji’s you’d sent to carmy with your name tagged at the end.

“whatever, just message your brother.” you urge him, already making your way back into the kitchen. the main perk of hanging out at the beef, besides your boyfriend, was all the free coffee you could steal.

that silence lasts about a minute longer, where you’re jabbing at buttons on the old, shitty espresso machine. it whirs with a sound alike to malfunctioning, but you’ve been told it’s fine, it’ll work.

“hey, come back,” mikey suddenly calls out. “how’d ya get that search thing up?”

Little baby man, what am I going to do with you?

[scn-thedog]

I was about to say could estrogen save him, then I realized he strikes me more as the kind of character the fandom would clock as transmasc, so I said could testosterone save him, then I realized he's already probably on t, so I instead am going to ask if saving him is possible

he doesn't need t or e he needs a miracle

Sat down to eat my lunch during A Difficult Day, saw your tags and omg. 🥺

:3c When I tell you I'm fighting for my life against the tumblr tag system because I have so many thoughts about your fics and I can only leave 30 tags CNZPFNZPX. Let me yap tumblr >:(

Hope your day gets better bud <3 I'm gonna fistfight the entire british educational system to give you a break, watch me.

Have a little angry looking Nik, he also will fistfight someone for you.

Friendly reminder the Dragon Age Devs AMA is happening later today for all you Americans out there! Consider me very impressed that a majority of the questions with the greatest upvotes are quite critical of the game!

I linked it below!

Hey there, are you ok?

hey! thank you for checking up on me, this was really sweet!

i SWEAR i did not die. i just got a bit busy doing SladeRobin Week (which i will finish so help me god-) as well as things in my real life. i'm still trying to find the balance of like. fandom creation and working. i am very lucky to have the living situation that i do rn, but it is the sort of schedule where i do have to be ready to watch a baby at really any given point so. it's a tricky balance right now, but i'm going to be active here again! maybe not as many asks answered a day as before, but i want to try to answer like, a few a day and whatnot.

i also think i got briefly overwhelmed, in that i got more asks faster than i answered them. which is the opposite of a problem and something i'm very lucky for! but it did make it difficult for me to keep up and know what to answer next. (this is *not* a discouragement to sending asks! i love them all and pls send as many as you want! i just am a little slow sometimes so i appreciate the patience! <3)

so! i'm back and i'm good, ty for asking! we are back to the regularly scheduled programming <3

Everyone go read Together Against The World!!! A beautiful Stan twins-centric series that I've been in love with these past few days!

[shirogane-oushirou]

no promises anymoooooreeeee i'll appear online when i appear online 😭 every time i say "ooh i think life is almost done being overwhelming!" it. becomes even more overwhelming in the dumbest ways. all i can manage rn when i'm not stressing myself into a shut-down state is staring at the wall while listening to youtube essays + mindlessly crocheting.

i might queue up ppls art and fics w/o commentary in the tags... i want other ppl to see what all of my cool friends have made, but i genuinely can't think right now with this monstrous brain fog. i'm really sorry, just. yeah. maybe i'll think of some way to make it up later!!! once the dust has settled!!!! but until then i wuv u and miss u. smiles.

[venting in tags including familial manipulation and ableism. i. didn't mean to write all of that, thiss was originally going to be a main blog post but. aaaaaAAAAAA!!!!!

also no need for replies or anything, i'd turn them off for just the one post if i could kjsndkn, i just needed to get things out and go eep jsjndsfdn ok bye bye bye bye!!!!]

what are bradley’s earliest memories of ice and mav? the bits of his perspective on them that you’ve written are so fascinating

fairly unsurprising answer but: ice: when he came to see Carole to apologize for killing goose in ch 2 of wwgattai (sets the tone of their relationship)

mav: something very benign like mav doing magic tricks for him as a little little kid. you know how your earliest memories are always a little fuzzy and always afternoon sunshine? imagine a desaturated maverick sitting crosslegged in the grass in pale afternoon southern california sunshine showing Bradley how he can detach his thumb from his hand and then put it back again. no blood, no bone, no pain, and he’s got this daredevil grin like he’s enjoying separating his thumb from his hand. can’t see his eyes behind his aviators. the best magicians are the ones who can make even their pain disappear. or, playing “got your nose,” holding Bradley’s nose up so he can see it right in front of his very eyes, NO PAIN!, and then making it disappear. “where’d your nose go, Gosling? oh, my gosh, I lost your nose!! how’re you gonna smell? i bet you’re gonna smell bad. get it? get it? —here it is, i found it, don’t worry, it’s all good!” and putting his nose back so everything’s ok. that’s Bradley’s earliest memory of mav.

What bothers me about that anon telling me "I desperately need you..." is that it came off as trying to belittle my intelligence. Like, if you don't agree with me, just say that!

Often times, even if they don't mean to, people will sound so condescending and it can affect the person receiving it.

Someone forgets a detail in a story, "you know that this actually happen, right"?

Why do you sound like it's illegal to forget something? Especially, if the story has so many other things going on with it? Not everyone has good memory or trying to remember everything!

Might as well be one of those "name all the characters of this anime" guys from the store whenever they see someone will an anime bag or jacket on.

Don't agree with a popular take or headcanon, don't share the same view as everyone else because you're not trying to fit into this cramped up space of folks who try to follow what everyone else does and you're brave enough to be based.

They act like it's sooooo wrong. Like, you must agree with everyone else! You must feel whatever everyone else feels because you have to!

They want to scream "it's just my opinion" but the moment you have an opinion that doesn't align with theirs, it's wrong. No, they can have an opinion and be right about it, even though I thought opinions were emotional based and don't need to be right, facts are though. They can have an opinion, but you can't because you don't know what you're talking about!

I swear some of you just make being in a fandom unenjoyable.

HELLO you have very thoughtful and good meta that tickles my brain but I can't get over the timing—I went to grab your meta tag link to send to my therapist and saw the latest about Blitzø's approach to therapy. mine just attended a convention and asked Brandon to sign her print with 'something Blitzø would have said to his therapist who thinks he's gross'. Brandon gleefully rolled up his metaphorical sleeves and wrote, "I made Via's dad a bottom." how does it feel being so fucking correct?

Okay first of all I'm super flattered, so THANK YOU.

Second, I love this story, and I'm jealous that your therapist is a fan of this show. When I'm talking to my therapist, I don't even know how to breach the topic of the amount of space these silly horny demons take up in my brain.

Third, I know Blitz needs to actually take therapy seriously and work through his shit, but the thought of him sitting there with a wide stupid grin after his therapist finally breaks and says "you are so gross!" will never not be funny to me.
