#100 words exactly :^)

[odetojupiter]

so, we know that abuse and victim responses to abuse are very central to aftg, but what i find interesting is how other characters respond to the victim’s reactions, especially when it comes to mourning their abuser. there’s something about kevin mourning riko, aaron mourning tilda, neil mourning mary, andrew mourning cass, thats so important to me because it really truly highlights how even when people are united through similar traumas, the differences in their situations makes it impossible to fully understand the relationship a person has to their abuser. neil, aaron, and andrew are united through the abuse, neglect, or - what the fuck is the word i’m thinking of? permit? condone? i mean, knowingly allowing it to happen and not intervening - stemming from a maternal figure. but neil can’t understand why andrew would hold on to cass for so long - he refused to let her go until aaron came into the picture. and andrew can’t understand why aaron would mourn for tilda, potentially viewing aaron’s grief as a betrayal of their promise. and they all ridicule kevin for his reactions to riko. of course, neil and andrew are also abused by riko, but they still can’t understand the complicated relationship between kevin and riko because, at the end of the day, they just weren’t there.

i mean this is primarily an observation but i really love how trauma and trauma response is depicted as nuanced, complex and overall just difficult to understand from an outsider perspective in the books. it reads as really real, and though it can be frustrating when a character doesn’t understand a different character’s response, you have to understand that their perception of said character’s response is warped by their own experience of abuse.

andrew bounced from home to home, never had stability, so obviously he held tight on to the first mother-figure that didn’t outright hurt him. his self-worth was probably low enough that he thought living with drake was a fine price to pay to keep cass.

neil only ever had his mother, and he’d willingly accept her harsh hands because he believed she was just keeping him safe from the very real dangers that were closing in on them.

aaron was dealing with an addiction, and so was his mother; he was equally dependent on her to avoid withdrawal as he was scared of her anger.

i don’t really have a point anymore but you get what i’m saying

#or maybe this doesn’t make sense at all #idk i am struggling with words today #but genuinely i love how there’s no perfect ‘therapy friend’ in the series because it’s so unrealistic when someone is dealing with trauma #and somehow someone with a completely different upbringing understands them perfectly and always says exactly what the character needs #to hear #it’s something you see in fiction too much #the way these characters share certain experiences but aren’t 100% united in their responses to trauma #makes them feel so real #even if it means they say the wrong things sometimes #aftg #all for the game #neil josten #andrew minyard #kevin day #aaron minyard #i do indeed ramble on too much ik what ur thinking

[lazylittledragon]

do all of their songs sound the same?? yes. is that exactly why i like them??? YES.

#ramble #this is about neck deep btw #oh the vibe of this song tickles my brain just right? #oH they have 100 other songs that do EXACTLY the same thing for me??? IMPECCABLE #i'm getting a neck deep tattoo soon Hopefully. taking 'inject this song into my body' literally #dragging my boyfriend to see them for my birthday so he can understand why i'm insane #i'm so upset that i didn't know all the words to lowlife when i saw them last so i'm going to be SCREAMING at the next one

november 29, together, 100 words unofficial jegulus microfics with @onehundredflamingos

“Regulus and I…” James says, fumbling over his words. “We’re…”

Together?

Together doesn’t feel like enough to describe them. He’s the first thing James thinks about when he wakes up, the last thing he thinks about before he goes to sleep, and every moment in between. He’s not sure that he believes soulmates are real, like in the books where they only see in black and white until they meet them. But if they did exist? Life with Regulus is technicolour.

He meets Sirius’ eyes then, knowing exactly how to explain what he’s been trying to say, “He’s my Remus.”

Okay. This has been in my drafts for months, and I’m finally sitting down to write it out. It’s so important (to me) that House is the one to call Chase “the prodigal son”, while Thirteen calls herself “the prodigal daughter”.

Chase would never refer to himself as House’s ‘prodigal son’. He was House’s first fellow; the relationship he’s had with House has always leaned more towards mentor/student. He looks up to House as a father figure/god-figure (“and by god, I of course mean you”) and oftentimes is the one ‘doing anything to prove House right’ (as pointed out by Cuddy in 4x01). At times he sees House as infallible. He lets House get under his skin; he gets sucked into House’s “vortex”, as Wilson says, along with Cameron and Foreman. He would never be so presumptuous as to refer to himself as House’s ‘son’. that’d be like calling himself Jesus. But House knows he isn’t a god. And House calling Chase his ‘prodigal son’, to me, is his way of saying, ‘despite all the crap I put you through, I really care about you and I’m glad you’re here. Thanks for deciding to come back.’ He’s acknowledging that no matter what happens between them, Chase will always be someone he respects and sees as one of his ducklings.

On the other hand, Thirteen has spoken to House like much more of an equal from the very beginning. She was never afraid to contradict him or argue with him. When he meddles in her personal life in You Don’t Want To Know (swabbing her water bottle and submitting her DNA for a Huntington’s test) she rightfully yells at him and enforces her boundary. She calls him an idiot over and over again in The Fix (and breaks into his apartment!) despite the fact that he’s her boss again. She even calls him a friend in Charity Case. No matter how much he tries to mess with her, she is the one person who never gets caught in his mess or blindly enables him the same way the others do. House knows that. He knows their relationship is unique. So of course he wouldn’t refer to her the same way he refers to Chase (prodigal son/prodigal daughter). He also wouldn’t go out of his way to refer to her as a ‘daughter’ because he doesn’t want her to think that he looks down on her, or sees her as lesser/on a lower level (“Yes, I think that little of you and that much of me.”) Throughout the series, he repeatedly never puts a label on their relationship. So for Thirteen to refer to HERSELF as ‘the prodigal daughter’, she’s 1) reaffirming to House that she cares about him, the same way she did in Charity Case, and the same way House did for her when he promised to kill her in The Dig; and 2) finally acknowledging that she does see House as a father-figure/mentor, and not only a friend or an equal. Part of the shock in House’s expression after their conversation in Holding On is from her saying “and you don’t even like me that much”; but I think the rest of it is from her referring to herself as House’s prodigal daughter. She’s telling him, ‘I’ve never put up with your crap, and I won’t start now. But I care about you a lot, and you are important to me. You’re my friend, but you’re also like a father/mentor to me. Even though I’ve left to go my own way, for the rest of my life I’ll always be one of your ducklings/fellows, and I’m grateful for that.’

DP x DC Drabble

When I was younger, I used to make paper stars. I would make thousands of them. I can still remember the night my mother snuck into my room and showed me how to make them and the joy I felt when I realized I could finally touch the stars. 

Of course, Grandfather didn’t like them and burned them in front of me whenever he found them. But I didn’t stop. I made more and more. In the time between training, I was supposed to eat and sleep. I made them till my fingers were sore and it hurt to touch. I made them till I could make no more. 

I find it amazing how as a child, I longed to touch what I could not reach. But now, if I wanted to, I could hold all the stars in the universe in my grasp.

i think one of my least favorite troupes in tf2 fanfics has to be scout finds x and y are dating and freaks out/starts being openly homophobic towards them because "canon typical homophobia"

they are mercenaries. fucking contract killers. do you think anyone gives a flying fuck about homosexuality being illegal? you see, they are ok with murder and gruesome violence, HOWEVER they draw the line at two men holding hands because the words on the paper say it's a no no

he would probably tease them because, that's normal that's what friends and annoying coworkers do. and sometimes he might step on a line. but my dear friends. if scout was genuinely homophobic to any of the other mercs, im afraid he wouldn't survive the winter (irse a mimir). he would get snapped by a twig and it doesn't even have to be by the merc he was insulting. anyone in the vicinity would suplex his ass. son, we all suck dick here. get used to it

#also the administrator wouldn't give a flying fuck #she would file it under “potential blackmail if things go south” and leave it as that #because her only investment on the war is draining the Mann brothers of their money and getting to their australium #also this is assuming that homosexuality was illegal in the tf2 universe #which first of all what purpose does it serve to the narrative? that scout says the word faggot? #and secondly do you think that shakesperacles universe needs to 100% accurate to our own? #im not saying you cant do period typical homophobia but it needs to make sense #would a private in the army make remarks towards his veterans in this situation? it's not exactly the same but you get me #this is even without entering into the entire “army gay” debacle #tf2 #i was a little bit mad could you tell

Kinktober 2: Threesome, Zoro x Reader x Law

Contains: threesome, exhibitionism, reader described as having a "cunt", fake reluctant law, fingering, exactly 100 words

“Well? Are you gonna?” Zoro hooks your knees over his thighs, showing off your dripping center as you moan.

Law stands still and silent on the other side of the mats. 

Zoro spreads your lower lips with his fat fingers, your slick glistening in the low emergency lighting of the submarine. You squirm and the tip of Zoro’s finger slips into you revealing a glimpse of the sweet pink inside of your cunt and Law can’t take it anymore. 

“If this has annoying consequences you’re dealing with it.” He grumbles as he kneels and slips two long tattooed fingers inside

drabble.

Outside of Fredbear's Family Diner, there are a set of handprints in the sidewalk. The Afton and Emily children had lined up, biggest to smallest, and pressed their palms into cold, wet concrete. They were excited to leave their mark on this place.

Maybe they'd all come back one day to see how much they had grown; how tiny the handprints in the sidewalk seemed to them now. They couldn't wait to find out who they would become.

Every child who'd left their handprint in the sidewalk was gone, now. None of them had made it to twenty years old.

Word and a pairing:

Alex/Henry, public transit

I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to get to this! Here's a tiny drabble AU for you:

There are plenty of things to dislike about the London public transit system, but Henry’s regular commute does have its benefits. Every day Henry sits on the bus and watches it fill up until the beautiful man gets on. Inevitably, the bus is full and Henry is greeted with the spectacular view of the man’s arse at eye level. A daily treat. It never occurs to Henry to do anything more than enjoy the view. Until one day, the driver brakes particularly forcefully and Henry finds himself with a lapful of the beautiful, curly-haired man. “Well, hello sweetheart,” he drawls.

galladrabbles “blur”

sooo here is another @galladrabbles with the prompt “blur” from @callivich ! ian wakes up from an episode and mickey is there to ease the anxiety a bit

— — — —

ian rolls over, his arm landing on the empty mattress beside him. he rubs his eyes, his mind a complete blur. what time is it? his body aches as he throws crawls out of bed and shuffles downstairs.

“hey sleepyhead,” mickey greets him with a warm grin in attempt to mask his concern.

“hey,” ian looks around, the last few days still foggy, “what-“

“don’t worry about it,” mickey cuts him off, handing him a mug with steam billowing from the top. “let’s get you somethin’ to eat.”

ian complies, sitting on the barstool as mickey shuttles about, filling him in on the mundane details of his life from the past few days.

Drabble #3

nayeon x f!reader

the party pulses around you, but her eyes are the only constellation you see. "wanna go?" nayeon whispers. hand in hand, you navigate the labyrinth of bodies until cool air kisses your skin. silence settles, broken by her soft laughter.

"you know," she says, her gaze unwavering, "i've always wanted to do this. leave everyone behind."

in that hushed night, words aren't needed. fingers entwine, her lips brush yours. when your back hits a wall and her warmth embraces you, the world ceases to exist, and in whispered promises, you find a universe blooming within the depth of her love.

Can I ask for kissing your lover's forehead, then bending down to meet their lips with Bucky and Buck please ? ❤️

Bucky kisses Buck's forehead, then drops his head so he can press a kiss to Buck's lips as well.

"Cheating," Buck murmurs, though his claim doesn't stop him meeting Bucky for the kiss.

Bucky chuckles and drops his head even lower so he can nuzzle Buck's neck, and then drag his mouth from his collar all the way up to his ear. "You like being shorter for once," he whispers into Buck's ear. "I promise I won't tell."

Buck's tight grip on his waist tells him he's entirely correct. Bucky rewards the silent admission with another kiss to the forehead.

“Have you ever thought about where the sky starts?” “What do you mean ‘where the sky starts’?” James pokes his hand up into the air above his and Regulus’ picnic spot. “Is this the sky?” he asks. “No, that’s just air.” “Am I in the sky flying on my broom?” “No, you’re flying towards it.” “So where does it start? How far do I have to fly to reach the sky?” “Are these really the things you want to talk about on our anniversary?” James lowers his hand and looks at Regulus. “With you? I want to talk about everything.”

For @vcmicroficmay, Week 4, Prompt: Spellbound

Daniel and Armand sat on their bed in their darkened bedroom as they watched, or more accurately — Daniel watched Armand, face illuminated, gaze at the array of lava lamps they had purchased the night before. Armand was completely spellbound as he watched the colorful blobs inside the lamps undulate with an unblinking expression. Daniel, arm wrapped around his lover, appreciated the quiet intimacy of the moment. It was a welcome break from the endless parade of activities that consumed their nights together —movies, concerts, classes, new fixations — and left Daniel dead on his feet by the end of the night.
