#what am i saying i don't sleep

[adreamofsilk]

which of your ocs would you ship with robb stark?

Similar thing of, all of them. Under the cut again with their reason, again current era and Westeros only

Addie Upcliff: Addie is the third born daughter which means marriage offers are gonna be a thing. She's a Vale family which means Robbs aunt could offer up as a suggestion to her sister during moments where she feels like talking to her sister. The Upcliffs don't hold a lot of political sway but they do have a terrifying reputation

Alysanne Blackwood: We know the Blackwoods sided with Robb during the war. Alysanne was there with her brother and while yes Cat does the thing of agreeing to a marriage to the Freys Tytos could offer up his sister instead. She would be his hunting Queen

Amyra: I do have Amyra live in Kings Landing however when the King travels North to collect Ned what's to say she doesn't join the party? A whore is a whore, but she is also savvy in the why of people so it is benefical to at least be friends with her.

Dayanna Umber: The Umbers are scary loyal to Robb and the fact that no one tried to marry anyone to anyone before everything went down is stupid. Bring on the arrangements! Robb is a kind man and her family likes his as well

Heighdan Drumm: Yeeahhh kidnapping the heir/king of the north is a stupid move.....which she would pull. Other notes he does need ties to the Iron Born and a marriage is smarter then sending back a hostage.

Herra: ....The Starks have Free Folk blood which makes them fair game. She is also interested in the fact he is so obviously a warg and for a direwolf which means bringing that blood to her clan and strengthening it. Opposite way, bringing a Free Folk into their home would help smooth things with hem.

Jasline Beesbury: Marriage offers! The Reach is fertile grounds and while she's not Margery it's still a marriage to their family and could bring supplies in.

Kaela Slate: Marriage offer is gonna be my biggest justification here. Kaela also looks so Northern with her appearance and it would be a fascinating match when they march South and she's at this side.

Lyla: Lyla would probably be more a friend with benefits. While she isn't against marriage being with him means giving up her ability to be a midwife and that's all she was ever raised to do.

Lilliyan Rivers/Blackriver: They're cousins! And we know the Starks likey the cousin marriage(look up Ned's parents). Normal verse they could meet while he's at Riverrun and while marrying a smallfolk would be bold it would endear him to them. Legit verse Hoster is throwing pasta to the wall to get her married.

Meyla: These two would never meet unless we do a verse were Robb is captured and brought to King's Landing. And then he's a tortured soul for her to fall for

Sanira Farman: Marriage offer. She has no brothers and her uncle as Lord has no children meaning Robb could install one of his brothers as heir to the family and take over a Westerling family

Sharley: Sharley is a little to old for him(she's the same age as his moms uncle). This would very much be a friendship with an older women ship just because I'm not writing the p*do stuff

Una Borell: It would be so interesting to have a fish and a wolf marry again,lol. She's a cutthroat women and he doesn't really need that since he's doing a great job on his own but lets face it....battlefield romance is hot

[frosted-woods]

autumn time to be gay and totally fine and not miserable at all

[mrs-gauche]

I beat Veilguard.

It's 4am. I'm a mess. I'm in tears.

[inkskinned]

maybe i'm a bitch but if i hear you go out of your way to judge someone's weight, i immediately lose trust in you & will probably forever find you a little unbearable . yes also the little floating bar over my head will start reading [hostile]. this is natural and u caused it.

[arthur-lesters-right-arm]

Fun idea that adds nothing to the plot: When Arthur still had his hair all shaggy and long pre-season 4 he and John spent a solid 45 minutes trying to work together to put his hair in a high ponytail. It got uh. Verbally aggressive

Cry time ಥ_ಥ

Henry and Alex slept together after the lake scene, both conscious of the fact that an unspoken "I love you" was in the air.

The difference is that Henry left the bed in the middle of the night looking at Alex for the last time, meanwhile Alex fell asleep looking at Henry and woke up alone.

who else lost their entire mind at the crazy look in jack's eyes when they held a gun at tattoo's mother and joke shielded her with his whole body because I sure did

Apollo has seizures every time a prophecy is spoken so it is painful

and when the Oracles are established, they do not go away, just become less painful

I think my favorite Kathryn Hahn acting moment in Agatha All Along is the scene that takes place directly after her trial (at the end of ep 5). Her way of portraying Agatha in that very tensed atmosphere is enthralling.

I am exhausted, good heavens.

[pastelaspirations]

Heeey... Hi... How's it been going, hahah... Me? Oh, yeah, I've been fine, just uh. Functionally dead and uh. Not having a g r e a t time-

Why?? Well. Let's make this as short as possible.

My October was completely full of school assignments and I was drowning

During fall break, my mom's cousin came over to our house and knocked a 48 inch hole in my bedroom wall in search of a water leak that didn't exist. It's a long story-

I discovered a professor that my brother was close to passed away. It hit me kinda hard and I haven't been feeling great

My car started having lots of issues. Shuddering, check engine light turning on, the whole works. Got it repaired, cost $1000

I'm stressed about the holiday season coming up 'cus I haven't shopped for anyone at all and I have to entertain family members that I might rather n o t (This is all without mentioning finals coming up)

So. U h. Yeah. Haven't been having the best time. B u t. It's fine, it's great. I'm actually getting therapy soon. :D And not occupational therapy, or physical therapy, since I GOT TO DO THOSE TOO-

N a h. It's the "getting a phone call at 9 in the freaking morning to confirm an appointment for behavioral health." W h o o p e e.

A h e m. Sorry. Anyway. I'm good. I'm fine. Have a picture of the Beast that I should have freaking done for chapter 38, but was too lazy and didn't get around to it. So, how have you guys been doing. Participated in Inktobertale and having a good time, I hope-

[buttercupshands]

wait a minute

stop.

stop it.

Both my parents actually suffer from HORRID emotional dysregulation and are prone to snapping and going into rages. My sister is the same way tbh. I am now realizing this is why they are constantly baffled by the question of whether or not I am mad at them.

I don't have external meltdowns.

I could. I don't let it happen.

I keep my rage on the inside and stay pretty quiet about it. It's just as strong as theirs [physically shaking nose bleed from high blood pressure kind of bad], but like as a kid I saw how terrifying it was to be around [dad breaking dishes, mom putting our lawn chairs into walls] and I just internalized that I wasn't going to wear that anger on the outside.

So my mother genuinely cannot tell if I am just being quiet or if I am silently hearing the dial-up noises of pure rage. This has lead her to both making strong and confident statements like "You are a pacifist who would never hurt a fly U.U" but also acting like I am secretly dangerous maybe... It's because she has never seen me snap.

She knows what her temper is like [throwing chairs through walls], she knows what my father's temper is like [pick up child and toss out door], and she can tell I am being tested, but she doesn't know what happens when I snap or where that breaking point is.

Her -perhaps unhinged- solution to this, my whole life, has been to do things that should obviously enrage me or shut me down completely, like ignoring important boundaries, repeatedly, punishing me for expressing emotions or needs at all, etc... And then to constantly ask me if I am angry with her when I get too quiet [right after near directly telling me to shut up].

It has occurred to me now, they have never once seen me lose my temper, so they literally just can't tell if I am angry at them. My sister is easy, my mother fights and screams with my sister constantly, my mother understands this. My mother doesn't have any grasp of feelings or boundaries that are not screamed at her [apparently, and I fear my sister is the same way]. Her and my sister are close despite constant fucking fighting because they understand each other.

They are trying to get me to engage the same way and it is not working. I realize now that this has been hard for them.

I was so successfully taught to suppress my emotions, by being punished for any outburst, that rage quiet looks the same as any other kind of quiet from the outside. To them anyway.

I did tell her. For the record. I used my words. I did tell her very calmly that my response to rage, in order to avoid doing the things that terrified me as a child, was to simply leave [the autistic urge to GTFO]. When a situation or person causes too much of the dial-up rage noise, I simply extract myself from that situation, up to and including never speaking to a person again. I explained this calmly. I explained it calmly 100 times and I explained that I explain myself calmly as my rage response 1-5 [also pretty much every other negative emotion tbh], and I told her that what came next was me simply opting out and fucking off. I told her this. I couldn't understand why she never took me seriously, or why she never fucking understood.

I couldn't understand what made her like this.

But it's the same problem I have with everyone else multiplied by a factor of 10.

If I am explaining myself calmly, they can't understand that it's actually serious or that I am actually upset. ESPECIALLY because they read me as "female" and women "aren't that rational" so if I am not screaming and crying about something, which I never do, people assume I can't be upset and it isn't serious.

And then after having my boundaries ignored too many times despite having calmly explained how and why it's a problem [shaking inside or not]... I leave. I leave and everyone gets upset like this is unexpected behaviour, even though I told them 50 times that is how I would respond if they kept doing *the thing.*

And for neurotypical people especially, they are expecting there to be a disconnect between what someone says they need or feel and what their actually boundaries and feelings are, and they expect the latter to be demonstrated with emotions. Telling them bluntly you do not function that way somehow never helps?

My mother isn't just looking for normal yelling or a few tears to know I am serious, whether or not I do those either [I don't], she's looking for an explosion to know there's a problem at all.

Fucked if I know how she proceeds through life this way in general or if this is just her expectation of her own kids???

And I couldn't get why my mother couldn't read my emotions and didn't seem to think I have any. It's because she's testing for the rage limit to see where my 'actual' limit is instead of taking my word for it. Never the fuck mind that she could simply *not* test at my boundaries instead of letting me have them. Separate issue.

I couldn't figure out what made her *like this*

She's expecting me to throw a giant meltdown violent tantrum at people when I have 'actually' had enough. Maybe she got away with those being like 5'4" in another time, but I am the size of the average man, I do not get to have giant screaming rages, whether or not people perceive me consciously as a woman, and least of all because a lot of people -at least unconsciously- read me as 'masculine' or at least always "they guy" of the situation compared to all other women and some men [bigger stronger and more rational, more able to just absorb the damage and let it go so the less rational screaming/crying one doesn't have to be dealt with]. Even if it was in me to be willing to terrify people [usually never], there are such limited instances where it wouldn't just blow back on me. Potentially very dangerously.

I am going to be the quiet calm one. You are going to have to let me use my words, bitch.

So she kept ignoring my boundaries until I had to cut her out of my life, and she probably doesn't understand and probably thinks it feels sudden -after 36 long years of bullshit- abrupt and unfair.

But I told her hundreds of times.

I probably should have just screamed at her.

[transmechanicus]

I get a little indignant when i look up the lyrics for a song that has very straightforward and understandable meaning to anyone who has experienced a modicum of emotional pain in their life and there are websites like "Song Lyrics Explained" like ohhh some people have never had their heart broken I see.
