I know this person lol, they always butt in unwarranted on almost every Ghost x Fem OC post and say how it's "better" for Ghost to be naked next to a girl rather than a man and how they wanna see more. Their profile? Pure porn retweets 😂 like, i love Ghost with ladies too but Jesus Christ, let people create what they want and chill smh
here's their profile if anyone's curious; >> https://twitter.com/makarovmw (their replies say everything too)
they deserve to be exposed tbh, imagine being bored and annoyed that the most popular thing abt mw franchise is GhostSoap holy shit
No words for that. Again, it's all that chronically online brain that 'people need to know my opinion and I saw this thing on my feed so I must tell them I personally don't like it'.
It's like that effect that's going around TikTok, the... Not me?? Or something like that. Anyway, it's crazy and it's happening more often.
People don't care for they're opinion, I certainly don't. Hey, if Ghost (a fictional man 😱) gets put in a fictional scenario with anyone, let it. Let people make stuff for him and Johnny, just... Block the tag or something if you're that pissed about it.
But since they haven't done that, they're probably purposely seeking out this shit just so they can get their two cents in that nobody asked for.
It's that whole thing where they feel like everyone wants or needs their opinion on how to make a certain thing better based on their own preferences or wants. And that just not how the world works, and it won't ever.
I see this a lot when looking at anime fans as well. People assume that when you're being gifted or shown something that they eventually have control over it. The "well I'm the consumer of this anime/art so I get to say what you should do with your talent for me, for free, and if you don't I'll cyber bully you or something."
And the new shit coming out as the 'effect' where suddenly if it's in your feed or on your fyp then suddenly it's all about you and if it isn't specifically tailored to that very person's being then they get angry.
Like if TikTok shows someone a video on bean soup and someone goes "well I don't like beans" then it isn't for you.
And people need to learn that.... Aah, I hate people sometimes.
Yeah, again, being online seemingly 24/7 has rotted away some peoples brains.

saw a post about projecting your ethnicity onto a character and started missing vespa ilkay. so so bad
#pov u grow up in a 3rd world country(/planet) where healthcare workers are exported by the thousands like cheap produce to richer countries#it's your ticket out of poverty as long as you can deal with the loneliness the separation from everyone you know the discrimination etc#ive never talked about my hc that vespas mother was one of them sending money every month visiting every couple of years until it just stop#like why return to the swamps when youre doing fine working on a richer planet w much better living conditions#cost of living rises every year. sending home a % of your salary used to be enough to support your husband and daughter and then it isnt#you know how it goes#vespa is also dead set on this path until ranga realizes that hemorrhaging healthcare workers leaves them with little to none of their own#students on scholarships or in community/state universities are bound by return service agreements and are forbidden to leave the country#until theyve rendered a few years of work on ranga to pay back their tuition + as a really shitty solution to the brain drain problem#this is real in my country btw but my professors say a lot of ppl do break their rsa's and fucked off to work in other countries LOL#our state unis can barely afford decent facilities they do nottt have the budget to chase down their own alumni in other countries!#but the mental image is a bit funny#vespa ilkays first crime: tinakasan ang rsa#i do also think it lines up with her having a network of med friends everywhere in the galaxy (heart of it all) you kind of go into pre/med#expecting most of your classmates to leave to work in other countries eventually. mine are aiming for the usa / uae / europe / japan etc#anyway whether vespa breaks her rsa or not she leaves ranga asap decides to switch careers and the rest is history#i also deeply love the fact that she's superstitious i'm very sad it wasn't highlighted more (i've only heard s1-3)#as someone who did grow up in a rural area and went to more albularyos/folk healers than doctors in my childhood. (they never failed me)#lots of folk illnesses (ex. balis; pasma) local medical superstitions (dont eat noodles in hospital; youll have a really toxic shift) etcc#theres also a lot of potential in tying her past as a rangian + med student + assassin to me idk how to word this properly#being raised on cautionary tales of not to touch/disturb anything in the swamps then being given free reign to poke & prod at things in her#lab classes (now with the proper ppe)....she was having so much fun with the curemother prime too lmao#years of walking hanging bridges docks boathouses in ranga etc gave her great balance & stealth#cracking open alien shellfish in the swamps to cutting open bodies for studying then for assassination....#I MISS HER SO MUCH BALIK KN SAKEN 😭😭😭😭😭😭#i get why most people + the canon focuses on her being an assassin bc people find that cooler i guess#but vespa being a swamp girl > 3rd world med student > assassin is so personal To Me. the whole pipeline. eugh.#skl.txt

the way you write is so beautiful... tips for somebody new to writing who wants to write like you?
YOU are so beautiful, thank you so much! im not sure about any tips i have, but ill give it a shot. these are what i personally believe to have been the most important things:
find your wavelength my writing became a lot more stylized and personalized after i found an author that i resonated with, as well as a couple of themes. it just helps to know what you are actually interested in writing in, versus what you think other people would like to read. im personally interested in writing about relationships and dynamics, so my writing will always be more character than action driven. also, it helps, because youre always going to end up writing what you want to write, even in the smallest of ways, so why not embrace it fully? write what you want to read. otherwise, you wont have fun. and writing is SO MUCH FUN. knowing what youre into and what youre trying to channel gives you a really strong basis for all of your writing - not only will it take time for you to find your wavelength, meaning that youll have to expose yourself to many different genres and authors, which is a must, youll always be able to look back at that ONE creative piece and grab some motivation from it.
expose and explore creativity is everywhere - tv shows, movies, books, fanfics, comics, art, architecture, history (!!!), mythology, sports, reality - literally everywhere you can think of. dont wait for inspiration because its everywhere if you look hard enough. familiarize yourself with the seven basic plots, the thirty-six dramatic situations, basic foreshadowing elements, and other essentials. this isnt something to study or memorize, just to KNOW - its good to be aware of the foundations of literature.
embrace the brainrot and maintain a balance become obsessed w your own ocs, your own plots, your own everything. be your own biggest fan. to enter an abusive relationship with your own work is extremely upsetting, because youre doing wrong by the wonderful world youve made, and doing wrong by that part of you that just wants to be creative, too - and if that happens, its probably because you arent writing what you want to write, or controlling what doesnt want to be controlled. let your characters be individuals, let them go where they want to go, just follow and note what theyre doing. sometimes writing is a passive activity rather than active creation, and thats okay! thats when you know youve built a solid world that can run by itself and you just contribute to. that being said, while theres nothing quite like the hours spent ravenously typing, you need to find a balance. you are as important as your work, because without you, the work wouldnt exist. i also reccomend forcing yourself NOT to write on specific days. some ideas need to marinate, and some people need to rest.
i hope this was helpful <;3 if you ever need more help (and this also applies to those reading), feel free to reach out! im open to being a beta reader or just a brainstorming partner. lots of love!

(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ Who's Coming Towards You? (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
TUMBLR FINALLY ADDED READ MORE ON THE APPP anyway sorry for the delay I went to Portugal then got all my wisdom teeth removed AND im sick 😣🦷 Regardlesss im here and i might do a mini tarot game since I reached 400 FOLLOWRRS 😱but yeah we'll seeee, have fun wit this pac thoo 😜
1-If you're currently dating around or on dating sites, a fuckboy is coming towards you. They may not present as one, but they are. At first, you might think that this person knows what direction they're taking their life in or that they're just very driven in general. But this is just a facade that they put in order to lure girls in. They want a situationship and the don't want commitment. Even if you're not dating or looking to date, this is somebody who might try to ask you out, but it's kind of obvious that they only want kewchie. This could happen during your job, it could be a coworker or customer/client. They could try to hit on you and act like they're super deep or they genuinely want to know about you. There will be very wishy washy when it comes to their intentions, they don't like giving the straight answers.
2- Speed drive by Charli XCX. You might be in a Barbie/girlboss energy. What's coming towards you is some sort of opportunity. If you felt had you had a bunch of options you felt neutral about, youll have another one and I see you going straight for that. This one is really going to stand out to you and I see you when this opportunity is finally offered you're not gonna be hesitant any more and you're gonna be able to make up your mind. Specifically if you been waiting to hear back from somebody, you're going to hear back from them very soon, and it's going to help a lot.
3- So like the pile above clarity is coming towards you. This could be about a specific person, but I'm specifically getting a situation. There could have been some sort of drama in your life and you didn't know which side to take. There could have been a lot of stories and rumors involved. This could have been something really serious that affected you or somebody else financially. I'm getting that this has to do with somebody who's close to you or at least has some sort of influence on you directly or indirectly. You may have had to go to court, had to look up laws or contact a lawyer. But I'm seeing some sort of clarity not a final decision but just some sort of clarity. I think you might find the right lawyer for you if that's what you're supposed to specifically looking for. If not, I still feel like this heavily has to do with finances. Even if you are seeking out something romantically, maybe you want a sugar daddy, you're going to find someone who's going to help you in which you exchange some sort of money with them.
4- the number 4 could be important for you maybe you keep seeing it everywhere or you keep choosing pile 4 in pick a cards. Apply it to your situation but im predominantly gettting that someone you wanted or liked is coming toward you. I think you're still attracted to this person. For some, you could have felt dejected by this person even if they didn't outright reject you. You'll be surprised by how thoughtful they come across when they come towards you and I think they've been thinking about you for awhile. This is someone you've had a crush or attraction to for a minute. Your dreams of dating them will be reborn and may actually happen this time.
5 - HEY BIG SPENDEEEERRR the moment you walked in the joint, I could tell you were a man if distinction a real big spender.... Loveeee that scene from that movie (Sweet Charity). Okay so a few scenarios this could be somebody that presents like they have a lot of money or they could present like they're going to give you a lot of money even if they don't seem to have a lot. But I'm getting you're going to find out that they are broke very quickly and the only thing they have is dick to offer which doesn't pay bills. They probably fought for your attention and this may be somebody who glorifies struggle love. I'm getting they could actually be rich, but they're very stingy. And possibly after fighting for your attention they'll probably ghost you or just go to other people who aren't as naive. A lot of you could be sex workers and specifically getting strippers and this is just another man at the club trying to act like hes some sort of crypto mogul. If not, maybe you're on dating apps, and this is something that might happen.
6- Ooop so apparently this is my pile. I NEED A HERO I'M HOLDING ON FOR A HERO 'til the end of the night and he's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be fresh from the fight..... Anyway this is someone who presents as a fuck boy but in reality, they're just a normal person. So I feel like this is a misconception you're going to have about them when they genuinely have good intentions. I think this person will sort come as some sort of hero in your life. This could come in the form of them giving you a financial opportunity. However, I feel like for most of you they're going to help you financially or be a co-worker that's really helpful. They could give you a really good idea for something financially. Even if you're in school, they could present some sort of job opportunity to you. I think they could also be good to you in general. But at the end of the day, you might actually end up sucking their dick fr like literally HAHAHA I don't think it will be a bad thing. Yeah, you might think that they're coming to ruin your life, but they're really not. Aka opposite of pile 5 🤭.

Why does nobody in this universe want to learn Greek like me :( making me sad, and bored, so I've made a list of all THE BENEFITS TO LEARNING GREEK:
1. The writing is really sexy. For example, even saying "you are a fish with a large forehead" looks beautiful
είσαι ένα ψάρι με μεγάλο μέτωπο
(even insulting someone is now gorgeous)
2. You could read Homer's odyssey or iliad with much less confusion since it will make more sense in the original language. Also you seem smarter reading the iliad or odyssey.
3. You seem really cool, this honestly comes with learning any new language, but Greek is connected to English, making it easier to learn, often, despite its complexity.
3. Understanding English itself will be easier since a large amount of the english language stems from Greek, as well as Latin, but Latin writing isn't quite as sexy (my own personal opinion, this is probably just because it is so similar to English, which is boring to me)
4. It is still spoken, as opposed to learning Latin, a dead language, making it easier to learn since you are more likely to have a conversation in it with somebody else.
5. The alphabet is interesting, as all foreign languages are, but the use of certain letters, how there are two different s's, three different i's and two different o's.
6. Interesting etymological origins from words. Some words came from myths, such as the man Narcissus, and particularly my favourite is when something is καλλίπυγος (Callipygious) which originated from an association with Aphrodite calling her Aphrodite Kallipygos, as well as roman reference of callipygian Venus. Callipygian means "one with/of beautiful buttocks," which I find to be quite hilariously accurate in addition to the common reference to Aphrodite in this manner.
7. If none of this enticed anybody and you dont think youll even go to greece so why bother, here are many things in Greece worth seeing:
A) THE MUSEUM IN ATHENS: multiple museums in Athens houses more history than the British Museum (that's saying a lot) with 11,000 artefacts in just the Natural Archaeological Museum in Athens alone (the British Museum has only 2,000 artefacts). Unlike many societies, they docked down much of what they did very early on so we have so much unscripted and crazy history from the Greeks alone in writing, and even moreso in their abundance of beautiful, detailed art. Even if you hate the Greeks (every country has done some bad things) it's still worth checking out the museums there just for historical knowledge and context, it will teach you a lot, i promise you that.
B) THE COASTAL WATERS: just look at the Mediterranean water, does that NOT make you want to jump in??
C) there are cats everywhere, particularly in Crete.
D) there are thousands of sites related to greek myths such as: the cave and temple of the Oracle of Delphi, which actually existed, and are still sometimes praised to Apollo today; Mount Olympus, the largest mountain in greece and worth a climb; the site where the Spartan Society thrived (my favourite society of all time, whom you should seriously check out here if you do not know already, if you do know... you should check it out also bc Weird History in yt really explains it accurately and in such a cool way).
E) greek culture. An ancient custom is to be kind to travellers, which was a belief that the traveller could be a God in disguise, so one always must treat them like a king and invite them into their home. (Again, this was an ancient custom, I'm not sure how prominent it would still be but it is a nice thought and the general public say that Greeks, particularly rural, are the loveliest people you will meet, for they have the strongest connection to this culture.) If you see blue roofs in greece this was a cultural belief as well, thought that rhat particular shade of blue would ward off evil spirits and protect the home from disease and impurity. Greece's long history of celebrated gods which are now well known worldwide through the many tales told about them and worship in their names.
If you still aren't enticed, that's okay, I am not offended, I'm just passionate I hope I didn't hurt anybody's feelings, and pls tell me if i have offended anyone who is greek themselves, because I am not greek, just heavily in love with your culture, so pls do correct me. Have a lovely day everybody :>

omg who do you think is the best pussy eater out of jebeone❔
seriously in my gut its taerae. how could it not be taerae 😭😭😭 i think taerae and hanbin r most likely the type to get so pussy drunk they just start overstimulating you 😭 but when you whine and whimper they probably look up at you and asks you in the sweetest voice ever if you can give them one more 😞😞😞😞😞😞
im actually insane i need them
whoever asked this ilu pussy eater taerae needs to be talked abt way more
i think we need to think abt the 2nd best pussy eater cause noone will EVER dethrone taerae… that man eats pussy up like its a daily meal!!! all that while smiling too like boy shut up ill kiss you!!
but yes definitely taerae gets pussy drunk easily and ends up eating you out for his own pleasure rather than yours. he doesn’t even need to use his fingers cause hes THAT skilled. also hes the kind of guy to keep your thighs forcefully open but will love it if you squeeze his head with them teehee 🙏🙏 will zone out while going at it cause he wants to savour you. taerae def smiles in your pussy😭😭😭 hes so cutie 😭😭 (i wanna poke his dimple)
“stop, tae, it’s too much” you said as you pushed his head away. “Come on baby, i know you can give me one more, you taste so sweet” the words roll out of his mouth and you can’t help but obey. you just lay back while taerae presses kisses everywhere from your thighs to your pussy. he tongue fucks you while his thumb rubs your clit at a rapid pace. his other hand is on your leg trying to hold it down as you’re uncontrollably shaking.
his fav moment is when you squirt in his mouth for sure. will drink it up like its water. taerae is def nasty so hell keep some of your juices in his mouth and push them in yours while kissing you afterwards
… for second place🤔🤔🤔🤔 i agree hanbin!
i feel like his love language is acts of service so if he finds out you enjoy or cum the hardest from being eaten out he’ll definitely do it as often as he can! except he gets more addicted than he expects. you’d find yourself crying from the pleasure he’s giving you, as his tongue keeps lapping at your cunt. if he had a stressful day hes def taking it out on your pussy. if hes very happy he’ll eat you out. to sum it up, whatever problem he has he can count on your cunt as a solution
im sure he would prefer you sitting on his face rather than being in between your legs normally! gives him better access and you can grip at his hair better like that. he loves it when you just grind down on your face 🫠🫠 will knead so hard on your hips while youre at it that youll end up with bruises. “You okay, honey? can you keep going?” hanbin looks up at you while circling your clit. u both know that you cant go on, but you cant refuse him soo.. you’ll probably stop when he gets a tongue or finger cramp or smth

could you the gang on a museum school trip please? <333
BYE cause this was requested so fucking long ago i feel so bad😭😭😭anyways im finally answering this amazing request‼️
gang at a museum🤓☝️
ponyboy:
actually pays attention to the exhibits
like bro is probably out here taking notes or smth😭
POINT IS:
pony’s into it and good for him
gets kinda tired of it halfway thru though
by then he doesn’t get whiny but he’ll def drag his feet everywhere the gang goes
not the best team player ngl
will stay at the same exhibit for hours and just think about life (??)
johnny:
just goes along w what the gang wants
i feel like johnnys canonically opinionless when it comes to these not so serious activities
just vibing ngl
splits off w dally and two and they jus make fun of peoples names and achievements
and you can just hear pony from across the room like
“guys stoooop the cotton gin was a very important invention considering-“
and darry just cuts him off💀
sodapop:
he and steve pair off and just wreak havoc i can’t even 😭😭
they race up and down stairwells, spread false info about people featured in exhibits
you name it
they’re the employees worst nightmare😭
but like after 15 mins they get bored asf and just mope around
darry probably sends them to go sit back in the car since they so clearly don’t wanna be there anymore💀
darry:
tries to keep the group in line but let’s be real:
is that even possible😭
eventually gives up after 5 mins of trying
just puts on his little headphones and informational tape thingy and death glares anyone in the group who he senses has made a disturbance
he was standing at one exhibit when he heard a big clatter behind him
confident it was two bit, soda, or worse-dally- he whipped around his head w a nasty look on his face
only for it to be a 7 year old boy who burst out crying cause damn if someone as strong and intimidating as darry looked at me like that, i’d do the same
bro was so fast to get out of there😭😭😭
dally:
yeah he a menace, are we surprised?
in general doesn’t really get a lot of fun w it though
cause he’s just put out about being there in general so it doesn’t leave his little brain a lot of space to come up w genuine mischief
kinda goes along w whatever two wants to do cause he knows two is always down w wrecking stuff
tries to hang out w soda but his upbeat energy left dally SO emotionally drained just hanging around him😭
two-bit:
GOOFY GOOFY
bruh races steve around the museum and they are SO loud
in general it’ll just be quiet and you’ll hear a loud cackle of laughter and you just KNOW two is within a five mile radius of your location
makes jokes about ANYTHING
”man, who names their kid seymour🙄” dally groans at an inventor exhibit as he struggles to find something to complain about at the normal, basic, museum
“why dal, seymour is my middle name! seymour BUTTS” 😀
and dallas is just like 🧍♀️
steve:
races two to see who gets through the museum faster
trips over a couch which makes the most ungodly clatter noise
everyone and their mother looks up disapprovingly at steve who’s already booking it to the stairwells💀
istg steve is just the type to spawn and despawn SO fast just in general
youll be walking outside the school and he’ll just be like “HEEEEY what’s goin on huh?” with NO warning lmaoooo
TY SO SO MUCH for requesting i’m sorry it took me so fucking long to write this😔anyways my requests are open and i’ll get to them in about a year, trust🙏

HI HI HI long ask incoming :,,DD
so i have a transmasc muslim character from Malaysia, and i was wondering what the biggest no-no’s are when it comes to writing their transition? and, also, what is it like being a queer muslim in general?
being a queer and trans asian i understand enough (personal experience lol) but i was raised (unfortunately) in a predominantly catholic country that has a LOT of misinformation abt muslims. which sucks. i vaguely know that removing one’s hijab is a very delicate, sensitive thing to do. but what happens when the person no longer identifies as a woman, and wishes to present masculinely? or heck, even present a bit femininely, but still choose to identify as a man? how would a trans muslim go about presenting the way they want to, in the theoretical situation that they’re in a safe enough environment to do so?
hii <333 i want to clarify beforehand that this is a VERY sensitive issue, esp among muslims. cause us as muslims have faced enough misrepresentation as is, and some (i promise not me) may consider it insulting and misrepresentative for a queer muslim to exist (as if they dont already). just, be wary when approaching this subject
now, the issue here is that trans muslims are an EXTREME minority, and i mean extreme. not many people transition and still call themselves muslim. they either renounce islam, or hide their identities for the sake of safety. islam resembles christianity in a way—queerness is a big no-no. HOWEVER, in islam its not haram to BE these things, its haram to act like it (specifically, acting like the opposite gender. dressing like them, who you get married to, etc)
you have to be v delicate, since most ppl would not accept a trans muslim character (i say most bc there are ppl who wouldnt mind, but society as a whole generally would in fact mind)
you almost never see women decide to take off their hijab bc they dont identify as a woman. removing the hijab is taboo enough in muslim culture, but doing that due to not identifying as a woman anymore? BIG no-no
if, theoretically, theyre in an environment safe enough to do so, they still may find ppl unfriending them bc of it, or tryna convince them not to do so for their own safety
HOWEVER, i do have genderqueer friends irl who are still muslim, all of them afab. im gonna use two of them as an example (keep in mind we do live in a transphobic/homophobic society)
the first one (genderfluid but goes w any pronouns) was a hijabi before they stopped identifying as a woman, and they still wear a hijab. however, they do wear chest binders and more masculine style of clothing (e.g. no skirts). they still cover their awrah (the part of a muslim that should be covered. for men its from the navel to below the knees, for women its everywhere except the face and hands), but theyve become a lil more careless w the hijab (like wearing it looser)
the second one (he/they) isnt a hijabi, and they still have long hair. however, he also wears a chest binder, but still likes makeup and things like that. ik less abt this one cause we arent as close as me n the first friend, but thats what ik
and i also mentioned the awrah. keep in mind that men have a hijab too, just a different kind. "hijab" just means covering, n both genders have to cover personal parts. so your character may stop wearing a headscarf, but they still have to wear longer shorts n grow out a beard (and yes, growing out your beard is a must for men in islam. according to most scholars anyway, since the prophet pbuh did it)
if your character was previously a hijabi, you might make him more careless w the hijab (showing more n more hair until he eventually renounces it completely) n start wearing more t-shirts w jeans and things like that (search up "grunge hijab" n youll see what i mean)
it IS better to make a trans non-muslim in a muslim society, considering a lotttttt of muslims might find it offensive if theres a trans muslim, but obv i have no say in your character and in the end its entirely your choice <33 just be aware that its kinda like stepping on broken glass here

long vent post abt covid + my sister
i genuinely dont know when the last time my little sister wasnt sick for more than two weeks was. im trying to remember but i cant . its been almost constant since she got covid in dec2021. and she has all these new allergies and symptoms and stuff she had as a baby came back after. and my parents are like antivax antimask "its just a cold" conspiracy theorists and they arent going to protect her they only got her her mandatory vaccines bc our doctor finally made them and theyre convinced shes always sick bc of the vaccines and not bc of covid. and i know theres nothing i can say or do that will get through to them. and i know my sister doesnt understand Why shes sick all the time so of course shes going to believe our parents because shes a kid why wouldnt she believe them. and i know eventually she'll figure out why shes so sick. when long covid gets talked about more when i figure out how to explain it to her etc eventually she'll find out and it's going to like. ruin her view of our parents and the world at large
and i spent my whole childhood since the day she was born making it like my lifes mission to keep her safe but i had no hope of protecting her against this there was no way i could have done much but my parents could have and should have and now they blame it all on the vaccines its because the doctor gave her vaccines no it isnt!!! no it is not!!! and every time i see her or facetime her or she sends me an audio message i hear the crackle in her throat and i dont know if it will ever go away
and if youre not looking for it youll miss it but if you go in public and sit and listen .youll hear the coughing and sniffling and the crackle in people's throats. i keep my windows open bc my dorm gets too hot and all day i hear people walking by and coughing. my only other covid cautious friend has noticed it. none of my non cc friends have. but i swear to god it's there sit in a library for a few hours and listen it's there it gets worse every year. and nobody even notices and people look at you weird when you mention that everyone's been getting sicker recently
but they are they fucking are ive read the studies ive looked at the data. everyone's sick all the time and they dont even notice it they go "it's the freshman flu" "it's allergies" you arent even a freshman you dont even have allergies. "man ive just been so short of breath recently" then i'm the crazy one if i say the obvious reason for that. i feel fucking crazy i know im not im looking at the studies im looking at the data im learning the science but nobody will listen
i share covid data and protection and everything on instagram all the time im always talking about it because im always thinking about it because i hear it everywhere and nobody listens nobody is masking and i dont understand why i dont understand how - i heard someone cough out my window just now - i don't understand how social pressure can win over the objective truth when the objective truth is killing and disabling people. how do people not care??? i need people to care one-way masking is better than nothing but so much could have been prevented if people would just put on the fucking mask
what am i even supposed to do when everyone's just accepted being sick forever when people dont 'even notice how fucked up their bodies are becoming when people seem to think it could never happen to them and they don't seem to care that they can and will pass it to other people even if they never are symptomatic . how are we supposed to live like this??? are we going to reach a breaking point or are people just going to fucking die forever??? what will it take for people to start masking again??? to start caring???
i dont know what infection number my sister is on. three that i know of for sure but i'd be shocked if she hadn't had it at least five times. shes thirteen . i dont know what to do

fic idea that requires quite a bit of explaining
ford perspective weirdmaggedon fic. but wait! theres more-
in this version of the apocalypse, ford was turned to gold but never turned back. bill attempts to fix the bubble problem on his own and proceeds to receive the fuck around and find out treatment
despite bill being gone, it's a slow decay. lots of anomalies that came through the rift went back in after he died. the rift itself eventually reclosed. theres still ash everywhere and everything is still destroyed and youll still come across eyebats or giant heads asking to eat you, but it's not nearly as common as it was before. it's been long enough that things have calmed down just a bit
though it is a slow decay of nightmare realm weirdness, it still does go away bit by bit. it takes a while, but the petrified towsfolk eventually get unpetrified enough to be able to get up and move around. a lot of them were broken and im sure you can imagine the result of that is not a happy one
ford takes much much longer to get to that unfrozen enough state. bill put extra care in turning ford to gold, and things caused directly by bill have noticeably been taking longer to go away. ford falls unconscious challenging bill and wakes up buried in ash and with everything around him reduced to rubble
so of course he goes to find stan and the niblings

A good soldier
Chapter 6
Chapter 1 and Chapter 5
🐟 Synopsis: You find out why you've been kidnapped by Lyle
🐟 characters: Quaritch Recom, Waynfleet Recom
🐟 Themes: same as the last chapter. A bit of cursing, roughing around but nothing serious.
🐠Note: Last chapter with only Lyle I promise. Love y'all 💙
Tagging: @babyduk213 💙
He leads you along a small pathway clearly being trampled along before. To the left of you is the churned ground with sometimes little peace of cloth or spears peaking out of it. To your right is the bark of the gigantic tree Lyle is leading you. More powerful then anything you have seen on earth, but like the plants around you he didnt emmit any of the glowing and alive energy you were so use to seeing on Pandora.
Finally, after what feels like an eternity to you and your feet Lyle stops and tells you to wait. As he says that you watch him disappear between a small rift in the big treebark before you. Watching him both worried and intrigued you wonder what exactly his reason in bringing you hear might have been. Surely it wasnt just friendliness and a good heart since these words could describe anyone BUT the team working in Project Phoenix. You get a slight feeling that it might have something to do with more then just him however you dont trust much in Lyles abilities to think beyond his orders
But you dont get much time to ponder that thought further since you see Lyle appearing much higher up then he was before between two branches above you.
“All clear, you can follow me now. Shouldn't be hard for you, little human.” he shouts at you in a militaristic manner gesturing between the branches to show you the way.
You sigh as you squeeze yourself through the same pieces of bark that he disappeared into.
“I swear if this isnt at least blowing my mind your gonna have more then just the Navi as your enemy.”
But there's no need for him to answer as he just smiles at you when you finish your torturous climbing experience and balance on the branch beside him. Its almost like one of those old comics you knew from Earth as you literally have to stop your jaw from falling straight through the floor.
In a big opening between the upper branches of the tree, that looks just like a lightning bolt tore it open, you can see weakly glowing strings of pulsating silver energy.
Of course you knew right away what that was, still you couldn't stop yourself from being mesmerized by their beauty. Like the beating veins of a heart, you could see small silver slithers of light passing through them.
“This is incredible Lyle. How did you even find that? It's impossible..” you mutter as you shake your head in disbelief. “They are the living and breathing connecting to Eywa this is the nervous system of the jungle. Straight to the tree of souls and everywhere else. It takes incredible accuracy to lay that open, or just sheer luck.”
“Oh well, to me it looked just like those fiber optic cables we had for wifi back home. But whatever you say doc. Now that I've shown you that surely you must be incredibly thankful to me aren't you?” Lyle scoffs, not even remotely considering any scientific importance that nearly takes your breath away.
“Yeah of course Lyle” you nod completely fascinated by your discovery, inching as close to it as you can.
“Now if that isnt something I like to hear. Then ive already got something in mind that youll love to hear,” he says grinning even more menacingly just behind your back.
“Sure whatever.” you mange to answer him just before your hand finally gets close enough to the threats to touch them.
As soon as you do it seems like your mind is pulled out of your body. A whole helicopter seems to be pulling you toward the tree but your body is frozen in place. Just as the world turns black before your eyes, the last thing you hear is Lyles not so smug voice calling your name.

I just read your Omeagorverse post and I hope you know I am turning it over in my brain and I am obsessed with the aegon -aerion- Helena stuff going on as well as all the blood magica
I would like to very politely ask for lesbian Maris infor
under da cut ^_^ dont click if u have respect for me cos youll lose it when u see my devianart ocs
ok so maris is ceryse' niece, grew up in the hightower. her mother's a peake cos lol lmao and i wanted the peakes in the targ bloodline 😈 there's a historical character called patrice hightower who was maybe a witch and maybe poisoned the high septon. and as a kid maris was great aunt patrice's shadow who followed her everywhere asking about glass candles and such. after viserys, maegor reached an agreement with the faith that targs can have one westerosi bride, one valyrian bride (for him it's ceryse and viserys). so jae was betrothed to both maris hightower and aerea (daughter of rhaena) on the wedding day maris is 13, jae is 14 and aerea is 16. bit before the wedding though, viserra and aerea do One Last Gal Pal Hang and fly on balerion to valyria and aerea comes back all fucked up so jae and maris marry alone
maris does nawt like aerea because aerea is totally detached from court etc and maris is still in writhing tentacle mass of feudalism. combo of jealousy and a little crush on the cool older butch. she also thinks the polygamy thing is offensive and that she is being slighted (she is) so when aerea dies she's like. well im 13 so im just not gonna unpack that whatsoever and be glad im gonna be sole queen.
i gave her seven girlfriends based on the seven gods cos thats fun to me. first gf is her childhood girlfriend, her cousin patricia (The Father gf). brought to court as her lady-in-waiting but she got bored of patricia trying to scheme and dominate her so she arranged a marriage to a lannister cousin. patricia ends up adopting viserra's lannister kids after viserra gets kicked out of casterly rock. she ends up being the Dad Who Stepped Up to them :)
The Mother gf is desmera webber a distant cousin on the peake side of the family married to a mullendore knight. desmera is a social climber who maris thinks is funny she thinks the attempts at sabotage and subterfuge are cute entertainment. desmera's husband dies and and maris realises desmera killed him so she could find a better richer husband and when desmera tries to seduce jae she's like ight ok thats enough Its Not Funneh Enymore (british accent). then its a fun cat and mouse game where maris marries her off a couple times and each time desmera kills him cos she wants to marry a better guy. maris ends up killing her and framing it as a suicide cos desmera tries blackmailing her with the lesbian thing +targ secrets.
Warrior gf is a lady knight :) she's bethany brune The She-Bear from crackclaw point :) kind of like jonquil darke/alysanne. dies protecting maris rip
Smith gf is a lowborn blacksmith wife :) after aerion murdered the high septon maris went kinda cuckoo and ran off to harrenhal cos she hated jae so much. then viserra is just too crazy for her so maris says fuck it and dresses like a peasant and lives in lord harroway's town for a while where she meets sexy big milf butch tansy and lives her marie antoinette peasant milkmaid fantasy for a while before she gets bored and misses her kids and fancy clothes so she and tansy break up mutually nicely :) only normal relationship she ever has. ends up raising harroway's town to the status of a city :)
Maiden gf is elinor cafferen her lady in waiting when she's in her 40s. elinor has a crush on maris and maris thinks its cute. elinor also has a crush on helaena which makes maris jealous (insane woman)
Craziest one is. Crone gf. her name is rhea upcliffe nee lynderly the witch of snake isle. she becomes the mistress of whispers after maegor kills tyanna and stays in power for decades. she's like 80 by the end of her life but looks 40 and she wears a green ribbon around her neck at all times 😈 maris and rhea have an on/off relationship since maris was like 17. anyway rhea starts convincing maris that elinor is a spy for aerion whos there to seduce helaena and helped kidnap her to essos etcetc and maris goes a little nutso (her daughter DID get kidnapped by her exile son sooo) and confronts elinor but elinor is like wahhhh what tf is going on😭 rhea hates me bcos i found out she's a necromancer and probably undead😭 and maris begs forgiveness and then rhea shoots a crossbow into elinor's skull lol. so maris kills rhea :3 whether elinor was a spy or if rhea was undead is unclear. maybe it didnt even happen and maris was just going crazy lol who knows...
the stranger is jaehaerys 😈 maris and jaehaerys have a tense relationship very bad from the outset. jaehaerys loved aerea and after aerea died he became the Stoic Man that maegor kept trying to beat him into. he's obsessed with recreating valyria in westeros because he wants a real home. aerea's name is forbidden or itll cause a screaming fight. jae wanted to name his heir aerion after her but maris was like LMAO over my fuckin dead body. but he was like well fucking one of them will be. so the younger twin he named aerion and maris never forgave him for the slight. she thinks he's a weird creep about viserys(his mother-father) and after viserys dies and jae starts collecting boy youths that look like him she fully loses any respect for him she thinks he's the most disgusting man ever. doesnt like the way he treats viserys(their son). viserys ends up favouring a young hightower cousin of maris which is the last straw and she snaps and does a murder-suicide RIP babygirl
this is incoherent as is my usual :3 tried to keep it in a coherent timeline but im bad at that. MWAH ily<3

(there is soemthign wrong with me istg)
all night you had been teasing matty, flirting with other guys, cheering them on in a game of pool at the local bar, an award show after party. You knew what you were doing, what you were getting into, matty’s eyes never left you, staring at you like he was about to eat you alive. The moment your front door closed you were pushed against it, rough hands pulling at your clothes, lips attached to your neck, leaving bright red marks all over, you were his, and he was going to make sure everyone could see it.
Hoisting you onto his shoulder, slapping your ass as he carried you to your shared bedroom, putting you down, not giving you any time, he attacks your lips with his own, sloppy and rushed, biting my lower lip and pulling a bit.
Making quick work of removing your clothes, he pushes you back onto the bed,
“Lay in the middle, don't move”
“Yes sir.”
“Good girl”, low, gravelly, you're in for a rough time.
Soft, velvety ropes bind your hands together, connecting you to the headboard, try as you might you can't pull free. Similarly your legs are secured, spread and bare, each ankle tied to the bedposts. You feel so exposed, vulnerable under matty’s gaze, his eyes hungry,
“I'm going to break you”, its gruff, voice laden with want, tent visible in his black skinny jeans,
“I- matty–”
“No, you've just been begging for a punishment all night haven't you?” fingers, brushing lightly along the curve of your breast, running up and down maddeningly.
“Haven't you?” warning, he wants an answer,
“Yes, i have”
“Oh, so now you want to behave? Bit late for that now”
You shiver, he's barely even touched you and your soaked, the mere prospect of this, of being his to use how he pleases.
His fingers ghost over your body, traversing the expanse of skin just above your hip, across your stomach, it tickles, and you struggle to escape the sensation,
“Be a good girl, stop moving”
You do as you're told, enduring the feeling of his hands all over you, everywhere but where you need. Trailing along the curve of your breasts, circling your nipples, its torturous, everytime you try to move, try to find connection with his fingers, he pulls his hand away and starts over.
By the time he finally touches you, your already a mess, sweaty and struggling, craving more, hes calculated in his moves, fingers brushing your nipples lightly, quickly, back and forth over and over again, soft mewls, pathetic whimpers, words fail you. Pinching roughly at the sensitive buds, you shreik, back arching best you could, matty pulls harshly. It continues like this for what feels like forever, and by this point your close to cumming already, over sentive, your abused chest heaves as he finally stops, walking away to light a cigarette, taking a drag and letting the ash fall on you, its warm, not enough to hurt, but its not comfortable either,
“So pretty, so perfect” adoration in his eyes, he loves seeing you like this, a thin sheen of sweat covering you, and he hadnt even touched your pussy yet, you were so reactive to him, you always had been. Trousers uncomfortable and tight, matty slips them off, sitting on the bed cigarette in one hand, the other reaching out to you, swiping through your folds, collecting your wetness, pulling away and wrapping the hand around his dick, jacking himself off, right in frotn of you, head thrown back, using your wetness as lube, going until he came, smoke flowing from his mouth as he breathes raggedly,
“Matty pleas,e fuck, please i am begging you”
“Oh? Your begging are you?” having only just reache dhis own release he is breathless but still commanding.
“Yes im begging, please”
“Awww baby, youll thank me for this”
His fingers reach down, running up and down your slit, circling your clit, pinching the bundle of nerves cruelly, using his nails, it hurts in the most delightful way, soft moans falling from your lips, repeating this moton over and over, until you feel a not begin to form in your stomach, lightheadedesness coming over you. Just as your about to unravel, to reach your release he stops, and you cry out, depserate,
“Fuck, no no no, matty please”
“Bad girls dont get to cum baby”
“Mattyyy”
“Say my name like that again” his eyes are dark, clouded with lust,
“Mattyyyy” a low whine,
His mouth finds purchase on your abused nipple, his other hand toying witht he other, bringing you once against to the edge, tongue flicking over it swuickly, sucking and biting, its too much, he switches, his fingers pinching and twisting while he continues with hsi tongue on the other, its all too much and you approach the egede again, before he detaches with a satisfying pop, removing all stimulation.
6 times, 6 times you had been brought to the edge donly to be left there, unable to finish, bindings preventing you from doing it yourself, yours a babbling mess, drooling all over yourself, mattys fingers in your mouth, you suck and lick them obediently, before he removes them plunging them into your cunt without warning,
“Such a good whore”, you cant say anything, do anything, letting him finger fuck you roughly, inhoerent mumbles, feeling his fingers hook inside you, hitting just the right spot, he knows what hes doing, its cruel in the most delicious way, his hair is unruly, hes just as messy, just from watching you. As you approach the edge, he removes his fingers, and a sob rips from you, tears rolling down your cheeks, it hurts, it hurts so good and you cna do nothing but take it.
Matty leans down, hair tickign your cheek as he kisses you, kissing your cheeks where tears had rolled down,
“Your so fucking pretty whe you cry for me”
Another sob, god you love him
“Traffic light baby?” hes concerned for you, he has just put you through a particularly rough time for the last 2 hours, so he needed to be sure you were ok, he had been checking like this several times already and every time,
“Green” between gasps ans sobs,
“Good girl, your doing so well”
“Pleas,e matty, i cant take much more”
He looks down sympatheitcally, but theres something else there,
“Dont worry you wont have to, ill be back in a little while ok?”
“W-what?”
“I'm going to go and watch some tv, be a good girl and wait for me… oh, before i forget”
Matty disappears to the other end of the room, opening a draw and pulling something out alongside some latex tape, whatever it is, he tapes it to your thigh, pressed against your leg, not quite hitting your cunt, you realise too late what it is.
“To remidn you whos in charge”
Pulling out his phone matty opens up a familiar app, the devid buzzes to life, under his full control, its not close enough to let you cum, but its enough to be maddening, to keep you on the edge,
“I want to hear you from the living room baby, if you need anything just call”
And with that he leaves, turning the light off, the only sound is the buzzing and your squeaks and moans.

hiiiiii. hope you're doing well. I dont mean to be rude or nosy but I saw the 'dead best friend' tag and i don't know what I'm looking for here really but I hope I'm not crossing a line here. a year ago one of my friends passed and I have never really been able to get over it. He was barely 20. the thing is he wasn't really a best friend or even that close of a friend but if I'm being honest here I always hoped somehow someday we'd get there.
i dont know why or how but somehow it keeps coming back to me. there are days I become entirely unable to function at the mere thought of it. not a week passes by without it. everything keeps rushing to me and its so exhausting and overwhelming to keep on fighting it. this this grief and the unanswered questions of what could have been - I don't like having to drag them around all over me everyday. it has been a year, everyone has moved on. i know its high time I should be able to as well. but I just cant. i don't know what to do or even how to cope with this. it is so inherently embarrassing to constantly wallow about this one guy that I thought might be my potential best friend. there were so many promises he left behind. what do I do with them? where do I keep them? i understand if you don't want to comment on this.
hello nonnieee
no worries you are not being rude or nosy and not crossing any lines. i am sorry for your loss. i also lost my best friend when I was 20 to a really freak accident—was texting her an hour before it happened—and quite hard.
grief is such a strange funny little thing.
i think theres some…notion people have that like in order to grieve big, you need to be deeply embedded in the life of the person who passed (close friend/family/etc). in reality thats not true and people impact our lives in different ways. i knew my grandfather for most of my life until he passed (i was 14?) and cant remember ever grieving or blinking, but ive had babies ive held only a handful of times before they died and i still think about them, personal connection be damned.
i wish i had better news for you. because regardless of what anyone says you dont “move on” from grief. you move forward and you carry it with you everywhere you go. Some days itll be as light as lint in your pocket, you wont even notice its there. Some days itll be a bag of bricks that youre dragging behind you and everyone notices. and you just kind of…learn how to carry it. and eventually it gets easier—never really okay, but easier.
my recommendation for you and for anyone grieving is to find space and time to sit with it. Be present with it. Ask yourself those lingering questions and mourn the fact youll never get answers. you can mourn for a relationship youll never have and a future that was lost. Thats half of the grief in addition to just missing the person. There is no need to push it aside. Lean into it. Write down those questions. Weep. Healing comes later.
wherever you are now is okay. give yourself permission.

anon to avoid harassment: i had a parrot that was neglected when i was younger, primarily because i got the bird as a gift when i was a young teen, and teenagers are not qualified to look after an animal that essentially has the same attention needs as a human toddler.
i think the reason parrots are often a neglected animal is similar: a lot of these birds have attention requirements that are downplayed or not mentioned at all by breeders or stores, and these needs are kind of unrealistic for anyone with a full time job or school to meet while living alone.
over a decade later, i have kind of adopted the opinion that in about 90% of cases, owning a parrot is not good for the animal. obviously exceptions exist, but it reminds me a lot of how recently the reptile hobby has normalized captive lifespans of 10 years in animals that easily live 20-50 in well-qualified zoos and sanctuaries.
i am glad your birds are cared for, i just wish this wasnt a minority case.
Oh yeah for sure. I posted that as a light hearted nudge at just how fucking loud they could be (which is one of the many reasons they are horrible pets) and how its ironic that they are one of the most commonly neglected and abused pets (no statistic but based on my experience) DESPITE also being one of the hardest to actually ignore unless MAYBE we are talking about budgies MAYBE.
Parrots are often neglected cause they are wild animals that are completely normalized to be living in homes. They are absolutely not pets and should never be adopted as though they are pets.
All animals and all pets have a difficulty and a lot of needs that are often neglected and under-estimated and under-spoken which is just a chronic condition of humans with pets - but most don't understand that parrots - even the smallest ones - live 15~ years and the bigger ones can live as long as a human. On top of that, they have extremely (with variation between species, but generally) high social needs as they are all prey-animals and flock-animals as well as high enrichment needs as they are all foragers and in the wild find their foods, homes, and care for themselves by tearing apart wood, plants, fruits and vegetables, so they will destroy your everything.
Then on top of that, parrots are extremely pretty and are extremely smart and extremely cute so they are a really cool and awesome thing to have in your house on a surface level, but they will shit on everything you own, they can't be kept in a cage (contrary to almost every depiction) and they will throw bird seed and feathers everywhere constantly + allergies from dander, so they are horrible decorative (BAD EVEN IN CONCEPT) pets despite that they are usually sought after for being aesthetic
But theyre so smart and wouldnt it be cool to have a pet that can talk to you yet actually most of them are extremely behavioral, a LARGE majority never learn to speak and often in my experience its usually only a result of adapting to having to use humans for enrichment (both entertainment and social needs) which in my opinion would better be done with a bird which would then deter the motivation to teach them to speak (not a bad thing if they do, nor is it a red flag since they do bond and substitute with humans well and filling the need with another parrot is not always viable). If they aren't tame when you get them they can literally bite off your finger depending on the species and send you to the hospital in need of stitches if they go for your face. If they don't want to go to the cage and you don't want to youll be chasing that bitch around for at least half an hour (if you are lucky) and you better hope they dont get hurt while you do that. I could go on about behavioral issues and how god damn horrible and grating pets they can be if they are untame and how much patience and understanding of parrot needs, body language, and behavior is
Then there are all the injuries and illnesses they can get along with all the household items that are toxic and poisonous (note, remember, these birds can not be kept in a cage and they have two wings that can take them to places you couldn't think of). The general vet bills, the on the spot crisises that can happen such as broken blood feathers that if you aren't prepared to handle can get injured and result in a dead bird pretty fast.
Like its all cute and fun and games seeing a cockatoo screaming and throwing a tantrum online, but when its your daily for 70+ years and that's just how it communicates, its a whole different story. Which speaking of which, if you are getting a big parrot at an age where you can probably provide it's needs and afford it, you probably are going to die before the bird IF you care for it right so good luck planning for it to have a good home AFTER you die.
I could literally write a doctoral thesis on why parrots are horrible pets and why I would very much directly like to murder breeders who do it for hobby and why trying to find Popsicle a friend was PISSING me off because I REFUSE to buy from a breeder and lovebirds are so frequently targets of breeders as they are prolific and have a quick turn about.
(Also I've read up on them before I took popsicle in and honestly, out of all the 'small birds' lovebirds are by far the hardest to both tame and care for which makes this even more depressing)
We were raised with birds since we were a kid (finches and parakeets) and a lot of unfortunate situations that I won't go into because there is trauma there - but we ended up with 0 birds at a point of time and one of the few genuinely good things my oldest sister did for me was get me a cockatiel and while we were like 10 at the time, she made us write a 4 page research paper on them before she'd support me in making our parents let me have one. She basically raised me more than I raised her if you ask me and from there we ended up rescuing a few more since my mom was wanting birds again (all of which are still with us, save for one born-disabled male that lived 14 years happily despite being disabled, he died peacefully by euthanasia) and all
But like... my birds aren't pets and they are never treated like them, largely because my brain doesn't comprehend birds as anything other than 'kin' in a way beyond the usual "my pets are my family". It's hard to explain because its not a verbal feeling / experience, but my brain can not look at a bird and not feel "same species" as I've tried to logic it into trying to see a bird as a bird. It doesn't work. *shrugs*
But I'm far aware of the plight of them, as with the lovebird saga, Popsicle came from a neglectful home. Pocky came from a neglectful home. Avery came from a home that probably wouldn't have been neglectful but a dangerous, underprepared and unsuitable home (shes special needs, so much so that my mom who rescued her gave up on her after two years and thus I took her rehabilitation personally). Lucy is the result of my mom's (problematic) belief that all of the birds should get the opportunity to breed once and so he's a baby I've raised from a chick and is the son of my "mom" (first cockatiel and emotional support animal). In my mom's flock though, we have a "bird we are fostering for a college student who will surely come pick her up after 12 years", a bird that the owners thought they could raise on a boat (cant), a bird that was extremely clingy and the owner couldn't handle, and a bird that was bonded to the disabled one (I bought that one from a breeder - derogatory - solely because he was being kept UNDER the table in a dark corner so people wouldn't look at him and it broke my heart cause he looked half dead)
Largely if you have a parrot and are struggling to manage it entirely with a fulltime job, a good way to add "buffer" is to give them at least one bird of their own species to have in a big cage with plenty of enrichment.
Over here I have a fiance and am neighbors with my mom who has her "retirement flock" (they're all old birds save for one XD) and so it helps a lot there, but our birds get let out in the morning while I get ready for work, then get let out the moment I'm home and I regularly spend at least an hour or two with all four of them. Plus I pretty frequently take them along with me to shower, on walks in a carrying back pack, and honestly even let them sometimes visit the "retirement flock" just to make sure they are getting a lot of different experiences cause they deserve it.
Lucy is partially leash trained (partially in the sense that he was good for short walks to the mailbox and back but we haven't done it in a while due to new area and having lost the leash) but we had him doing that before too since he's physically and mentally able to.
I forgot where I was going with this XD But yeah you are 100% right in that.
