#was just talking to elle about this

[suugarbabe]

okay, hear me out, If mattheo actually got in like a relationship-relationship he would be absolutely ADORABLE

this man would write you tiny notes and letters all over

obsessed with this idea lovie, thanks so much

At first it was because he just truly did not know how to properly talk to you. He didn't want to scare you off. He was cruel and mean and dangerous and scary Mattheo Riddle after all.

The first note you received you actually didn't notice it until you were at your house table in the great hall. You had slumped onto the bench, all but slamming your textbook on the table. Your friend had noticed the note, snatching it from the confines of your book and flipping it open like it was theirs to discover.

The smirk on their face had you yanking it from their grasp immediately. "Someone's got an admirer. Did you have a tough charms class today?" they jested, causing your cheeks to burn before even reading the words. You peered down at the messy scrawl on folded parchment, heat only further increasing on your cheeks.

'you look very cute when you're frustrated. if you'd like any extra help, i'd be happy to volunteer...M.R.'

You glanced down the table, only to catch him staring at you already. Quickly, you grabbed a quill from your bag and scribbled your reply before pushing up from the table and walking a few meters down to hand him back the note personally. Theo and Enzo had crowded him immediately, just as eager to see your reply.

That was how Matty asked you to hang out the first few times. Little hidden notes you'd find at the end of the day; in your textbook, in your bag, in your robe pocket (how he managed to get them all there undetected he never did reveal).

Then when you both started to officially date, the notes didn't stop; they just served a different purpose.

Like when he knew you'd had a bad day, you would often find your favorite sweet, and a cute little note on your nightstand reading something like, 'i never thought someone could feel so much like home, you always know how to make my problems disappear. so hopefully these treats help some of yours go away'

Or when he knew you were stressing over an exam coming up, you'd fine one tucked into your study material, allowing you to smile admits all the worry; 'you are the smartest person i know, love (please don't tell theo i said that he'd murder me). you'll crush this exam, i just feel it. then after we'll get celebratory butter beers just you and me :)'

But your favorites were the ones he gave you, just because; 'i don't think i'll ever know how to love someone else the way i love you. you are the last person i ever want to love like this and i promise you that i will hold on to us until my hands are buried by the earth.'

i think we as a fandom need to make more jinbe and luffy fics and content about marineford,, guys jinbe was there. jinbe is the only member of the crew who genuinely saw how awful marineford really was, jinbe was the only one to see luffy wake up afterwards and flip out about ace, JINBE WAS THE ONLY ONE TO SEE LUFFY DOUBT HIMSELF AS PIRATE KING. GUYS.

i find it hard to believe that after two years all the trauma luffy went through just fuckin, went away? didnt oda confirm that luffy has nightmares or somethin? luffy had to have someone, and as much as a great support system they are, the crew wasnt there, they didnt see what luffy did- they didnt see his pain, or the fact jinbe had to literally carry luffy out of the battlefield, jinbe did and was.

im only on fishman island, so i might be missin somethin here but, really do you see my vision?

"And while it was never actually built (scenes were rigged up on location or faked using models), [Production Designer Judy] Becker's design for the Institute makes a convincing argument for the beauty and power of Brutalist architecture. 'One of the things about Brutalism and its importance is the void of historical reference,' she notes. 'It's only forward looking. And I think that's one of the reasons people often hate it—like atonal music, it doesn't have anything they can relate to. And for László, that's the point. He is saying goodbye to history and everything he wants to forget.'"

THERE'S SEASONS OF THE DEEP GREEN?! /delighted

this might be a super basic question so let me know if you'd like something more specific, but could you like, outline the seasons for me? like, 1 or 2 sentences of pitch or summary each, kind of thing? I'd love to have the Shape of the story in my head so that the details can slot into it >:D

THERE ARE THERE ARE this is what happens when you've had this server since december 2021, lore has had time to accrue sdlkjsdg

in surprise to Nobody At All i've got a little playlist for each season, with songs in chronological order hitting the main lore events & emotional beats of the story (& trying to touch on all three characters' povs), so i'll link each of those too

SEASON 1 (playlist)

Season 1 begins with the founding of the Deep Green, when Icarus & Grond explored the cave system near spawn and did their zoning. Season 1's themes involve community, establishing relational ties, politics, & power dynamics, since it's when most members were joining, building friendships, and maybe partaking in a little bit of political treachery & blackmailing. 0:) The closing event of Season 1 was Sisyphus's trial and execution, following their accidental use of the "/clear all entities" command which resulted in the murder of every living thing. Literally nothing has been the same ever since that mistake.

SEASON 2 (playlist)

Season 2 covers Sisyphus's "atonement arc" (aka them gathering resources & animals for each player as an attempt at making amends for the murders) until their departure. Themes for Season 2 include magic (belief vs unbelief), trust vs distrust, and fraying relationships/unraveling ties. This is the season that the cavern began; Sisyphus began secretly growing skulk in a cavern under their house, Icarus began grasping for more stability & control over her friends, Sisyphus & Icarus's friendship started fraying, Kore found a camel, and the skulk situation kept escalating until Kore & Icarus staged an intervention because they were convinced their entire home was in danger. In response, Sisyphus decided to leave the Deep Green for an undetermined amount of time.

SEASON 3 (playlist)

Season 3 takes place during Sisyphus's absence. cc!Crim (the human being) spent these months working on a Secret Build somewhere else on the server, while Kore & Icarus were left alone on the Deep Green. Season 3 covers themes of reaching out to others vs isolation, absence & grief, fear vs paranoia vs support, and action/preparation/defense. Korus (<- Kore+Icarus's duo name) continued letter correspondence with Thalia* in hopes of finding more answers about the skulk/Wardens; they burned down the skulk in the cavern; they strengthened their friendship together once Icarus stopped grieving Sisyphus's departure alone in her house for like 3 months straight (<- the canonical explanation for cc!Elle taking a break from minecraft last spring XD); Icarus's paranoia continued to spiral/grow; and possibly most importantly, Korus made direct contact with the Magic. The Magic as a whole will take too much time to explain in a pitch like this, but Season 3's closing event was the "encounter" with the Magic when it directly responded to Korus's attempt at communication.

*Thalia is Crim's oc from the dream smp that they made, like, five years ago. XD through a series of events we canonized Thalia (& c!Elle & Bluebell, mine & rozu's dsmp ocs) in the Deep Green universe; Thalia & the other l'sonas live far away from the Deep Green post-dsmp-nuke-ending and Thalia writes letters to Sisyphus/the other residents sometimes. It's delightful and silly and I love it very much

SEASON 4 (playlist)

Aand this is where we're at now, babey!! We never know how long a season is going to be until some big event takes place and we all look at each other & look at the themes and go "hey guys. I think a season just ended and another one's begun." XD So I don't know the themes of Season 4 yet, but I might posit "forgiveness & grace" being one of them. The large events so far have been Korus following the Magic's direction beyond the Deep Green's walls in search of the source of the skulk (that's been continuing to spread in the Deep Green). They found Sisyphus, had multiple confrontations, went through Sisyphus's creepy memory-room labyrinth (<- the very epic build cc!Crim had been working on), got Sisyphus's painful backstory, and eventually reached the point where Sisyphus has returned, remorseful, to the Deep Green. Unfortunately during that process Icarus's and Kore's friendship has fallen apart yet again, so we've got the running joke that Icarus is apparently only capable of being friends with one (1) of her friends at any given time. XD So they're all still in the messy middle of things, but Caruphys (<- Icarus+Sisyphus's duo name) at least is slowly on the mend. We'll see where things will go from here. >:'D

ask me anything about the deep green! 💚

[softspiderling]

I think I figured it out

I think people were offended by you saying that Jace likes to eat multiple womens coochies because reader insert fics are all about imaging yourself obviously. And Jace is such a loverboy that it seems weird he would be eating out multiple women before “them” in the story know what I mean? And Aegon and Aemond are visiting brothels and having sex with serving girls while Jace doesn’t even kiss Baela. Show Jace is coded as a “wait till marriage” type. And the 10+ year to betrothal to Baela where they are clearly close and have a special bond, plus Harry and Bethany saying how in love they are. So it feels OOC to people for Jace to just be having oral with multiple random women that he barely knows only to never see them again when he wont even chastely kiss his fiancée of 10+ years. Like Jace having one night stands all over Westeros when he is the biggest virgin on the show and has not had one sexual scene.

Idk if im making sense

oh you’re definitely making sense! and i know that’s what they’re bothered by lmfao and i understand it. however what i don’t understand is, instead of not reading my fics or choose not the read the fics where i depict jace the way i depict him (or any other writer who writes jace the way they write him) you (not you you, the general you) go into people’s inboxes and attack them and send like 20 asks at the same time and interrogate them before moving on to another person and doing the same.

and instead of unfollowing/blocking me, they just keep reading my stuff and sending more asks??? come on😭 there’s so many different fics out there and interepretations of jace where it’s physically impossible to be liked/loved by everyone, but instead of going into their inbox and try to convince them of MY personal opinion i just scroll past it.

[rowenasdarling]

Maybe it’s because I haven’t been as involved with the selfship community for a good while but I don’t think I’ve ever seen toxic non-sharers, I’m surprised by the sudden change in attitude people have towards them. People always talk about how it’s your responsibility to curate your online experience and you can always block and scroll if you dislike something, so why are they getting mad at non-sharers for doing that?

can't say I've ever seen anyone being overly toxic or hateful about doubles honestly... again, NOT saying it doesn't ever happen!!! i'm sure it probably does bc bad people unfortunately exist everywhere, and that IS wrong and my thoughts go out to victims of this sort of behaviour. but it does seem to me that the outrage is grossly disproportionate to the scale of the actual issue... i just don't think we as a community need these PSA posts when it is not, as far as i can tell, as widespread of a problem amongst non-sharers as these types of posts make it out to be. surely it would be more effective to simply call out toxic people as and when they start piping up, rather than consistently throw "reminders" at everyone when 99.9% of us don't need them.

also lets be so fr are the PSA's and anon confessions really helping anyway? someone who thinks harassment is acceptable probably won't respond to "hey non-sharers, harassment is mean and bad!!! ur delusional!!!"... all they seem to be achieving is annoying/upsetting people who aren't doing anything wrong lmfao...

lesbian MC, questioning demisexual MC

[hotchology]

shes so... pretty...

[whitestopper]

Compare that clip to the scene where Nick watches Tara and Darcy kiss at Harry's party in S1. Even though that's a dude looking at his ex-crush and who could feasibly be into either person, it does not feel creepy or like he's leering on them! Partially because they don't mind being seen - part of the motive IS to be seen and recognised! AND they are sober because this is S1 and we can have slurs/attempted assault but no alcohol or curse words!

Meanwhile, Tao and Isaac's clip feels so voyeuristic because Imogen and Sahar are at least tipsy and they don't realise they're being watched! Isaac literally provides commentary on it like it's a sport! And even after Sahar is so clearly uncomfortable that she physically removes herself from the situation, they put that shit in Charlie's film without either of them knowing?

And you know what? Tao and Isaac never have to reconcile with the fact that what they were doing was weird, and that them not having feelings towards either girl doesn't mean it's any less intrusive/creepy!

E&C VS YOUNG BUCKS HAS THE POWER TO CHANGE MY WHOLE LIFE

[youngpeachenthusiast]

confession time: even though i've been very chronically online for several years (though i have been getting out of it in the past two) i still have no idea what "proship" means. every time i see a "proshippers dni" i just think it's about people who ship. like, in general. to be fair i don't really care enough to look it up but like. just wanted to put it out there.
