Fallout Headcanon #2.

Butch and Charon are like brothers. After Butch made it into the Capital Wasteland, there were many things, and creatures, he had to get used to. Many of which tried to kill and or maim him. It took him a while to get into the groove of things, and although he still wasn’t quite used to it all (and probably wouldn’t ever be), he at least had the LW, and their other companions. Meeting Charon was weird for him. Charon is quiet, reserved, and doesn't seem to have a mind of his own. Plus he was a ghoul, a highly irradiated human that looked kinda like zombies. He didn’t quite like the look of them, but if the LW trusted them, he’d find a way to do the same. Plus they were people too, at least the sane ones were, and so was Charon.

It took him a while but Butch eventually wanted to get to know Charon. If he was going to be traveling with them, then he at least wanted to know the basics. And quite possibly break him out of his shell. All he knew so far was that Charon was bound by a contract, and he was raised to always honor that contract. Butch didn’t like that, it sounded like abuse. Something his mother had put him through for so many years. He couldn’t let someone near him live with that even if it was none of his business. But Charon didn’t have the mentality to stop him either. It took years for Butch to get him to fully open up, but once he did, by then Butch had grown attached to the tall ghoul. In fact, he had started to see him as a little brother (even though Charon was probably MUCH older than him) and even helped him find his personality.

Charon now had people he could depend on and not be bound to anymore (without his consent anyways), and he was extremely grateful to everyone he’d met. To this day they still travel together, all of them, as a family.

Sorry it’s gonna be so long…😔

I’m a 20-year-old female. I really don’t know but I might like my best female friend in a special way, not just like others.

I have 3 best female friends including her (let’s call her A here), and I cherish all of them and it’s been so fun hanging out with them and I’m so happy to keep a very close connection with them. We 4 are like a bff group, and we’ve known one another for almost 15 years! And we all consider one another and also everyone in the group as best friend and I think that’s wonderful.

A and I were especially close and we used to live very close too, and we were the first to make friends with when we went to school for like almost the very first time, and since then we have been best friends. For the other two girls (Let’s call them B and C then) , I became friends with them after I got close to A, but it’s like just 3 months difference. But it was a year or two later that all A, B and C got close to one another, too.

And there was some silence time because we all went to different schools except for the elementary school. But, despite that, I and A have been seeing each other once a week for all those years because we went to the same language school.

And after we respectively enters universities, after all those years, our group began contacting one another again. Now we all hang out very often, so the squad is completely back.

And yes, all those 3 are so fun to hook up with and I’m sure they feel the same about me and also one another. We are also so chill about only 2 off the group hanging out or whatever.(for example, only A and B go to the movie and that’s like no problem it doesn’t mean the other 2 are left out!) our friendship is so cool.

But I realized that I feel kinda different about A, it’s not the same feeling I have towards B and C. Yes, B and C are my precious friends and I love them, but when I talk with A, I get so relaxed but nervous at the same time, but I also have lots of fun (well it’s the same with B and C too, though, but I feel the most fun with her tbh) , and i find myself wishing if only this time lasted forever. And I also feel a boy sad or jelly when A is completely taken by B because…I love B but B is a bit selfish and pushy sometimes and she often “takes” me too, but I don’t know I just don’t find it amazing to see A having fun with someone less nice than me?? (Omg I feel so bad saying this) I really don’t know. I mean I understand this cuz B is such a funny person and I adore that and A is extremely nice and kind. So. I get this. And also, I realize that I’m always taking actions for the sake of A because I want her to be happy. Sometimes when we have to book a restaurant, hotel, airplane and etc, I do everything because I know if I don’t do do A will try to do all of them (she’s so considerate and sensible.) And I don’t want to burden her like that.

All those things come to my mind, and I started to doubt if I like her romantically. But I think I’m heterosexual. I don’t have a bf but I like boy bands and I used to have a crush on a boy irl so I believe so. If I’m asked whether I want to kiss A or do some sexual activities with A, the answer is, no I don’t specifically WANT to, but I CAN definitely do those without ANY disgust or hate. And if I’m asked whether I want to date A, the answer is, I don’t know, but I definitely can without any hesitation.

I know she’s not interested in me like that. She’s single, but I really know that she’s not interested in girls in such a way.

I really don’t know what kind of feelings I have towards her. I have never felt like that towards anyone else, not any woman, not any man. Do I like her as more than a friend? Or is she just so wonderful that I misunderstand even my own self? I just have no idea what it is.

Sorry for a long ask!

Hey there,

First of all, it sounds as though you have a really good friendship group and despite being separated at times with going to different schools, to be brought back together is amazing!

It can be so hard when we have a special connection with another good friend and more so than with the others in the friendship group. It sounds as though your friendship with A is not a romantic one (from your side of things) but instead you are just better friends with her as opposed to friend B and C. And this is OK. This is just in my opinion though so please correct me if I am wrong!

I know that you mentioned that you feel a bit nervous but also relaxed when spending time with A but is it possible that this is just because you value your time with her and don’t want to do anything to upset her? I know you may not feel this consciously but subconsciously you may be and especially when you feel closer to her as compared to with B and C. I know that I have felt that way in the past with good friends, relaxed with a touch of nervousness because I didn’t want to do anything wrong or act in a manner (if that makes sense) that she would not approve of like saying the wrong thing or something like that.

It sounds like such a confusing place to be in, in regards to not wanting to do anything sexual with A but then if given the opportunity (say if A wanted it too) then you wouldn’t say no to it. I think it’s OK to have these feelings at times and it may be just the fact you feel closer to A as I mentioned above and don’t want to lose her as a friend and so wanting to do what ever to keep her happy and content to not lose her which can also be seen by you mentioning when you book things so that she doesn’t have to.

Still though, such a confusing place to be in but I wouldn’t be too worried about the situation at hand, just enjoy the time you have together with your group of friends.

I really hope that this has helped a bit and please do let us know if we can help to support you in any other way!

I’m thinking of you and hope that you are going well!

Take care,

Lauren

I’m afraid when I’m not near you,

When I don’t have your warm embrace,

When I can’t lock my arms around you and whisper my deepest fears and hopes

I kind of forget how to love myself

Thank you for helping me remember myself.

Lan Wangji Goes To Lotus Pier AU: Part 4.5: Morning Period.

(Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #wei wuxian #jiang cheng #mdzs au #Yunmeng Jiang training arc AU #This is 4.5 because it was originally all supposed to be part of the same comic #This part wasn't as punchy and I was close to scrapping it but I figured I'd at least give it a chance. #Despite the fact I already had it in pencils...cleaning it up took a very long time. Still hate it. Sunken cost fallacy enacted: It lives. #Okay quick commentary (I'm very late to post today) #While this is supposed to be a 'snapshot' of routine - Wei Wuxian slept in. Normally he is up earlier. #Meaning he delayed the dueling part of the day. Hence LWJ's hand gesture. #I also imagine that LWJ and JC have a bit more of a friendship in this AU since they spend a few hours in the morning sans WWX #I always enjoyed how JC and LWJ on paper seem like they would get along but Do Not in canon. Let me have a world where they do.

do you think people would see how katara and aang interacted in book 1 and be like "wow you guys are so devoted to each other!!! how long have you both been friends?" and theyd both be like "just now going on 2 weeks :)" and the people would be like "what"

#they both are so cringefail and weird #like two gummy bears that held hands so hard their hands melted together #their dynamic goes from absurdly close friendship > ?????????? > the most annoying pda couple ever #yet somehow maintain this deranged devoted dynamic throughout that whole pipeline #i swear they remind me of zolu in that way #DEVOTION................... #kataang #katara #aang #atla #avatar the last airbender #alicias art

will and hannibal both being so chronically alone and friendless their whole lives that it results in them thinking their friendship is totally normal and not homoerotic or deeply romantic at all will never not be funny to me

#the unforeseen consequences of having no friends </3 #like how were either of them supposed to know like imagine getting really close to someone and sharing a daughter like man #and then he smells you and corners you against a ladder #and you drive two hours to tell him about the girl you kissed and you realise you accidentally interrupted his dinner date #which makes you unreasonably upset but it’s alright it’s cool dude no worries and then he frames you for murder like #friendship really is something guys #hannibal #nbc hannibal #will graham #hannigram #ghost speaks

Mental health benefits for men of having close friendships

Mental health benefits for men of having close friendships

Comedian and Author Max Dickins was about to propose to his girlfriend when he realised he didn’t have any best man options. Spending all his time between work, partner and family had destroyed his circle of friends. So Max looked into the situation and found a lot of people in the same boat. His new book Billy No Mates is an honest, funny look at the dire state of male friendships. Do men…

just once i want a tv show that gets fans super invested in a potential character ship, only for it to be casually revealed in the series finale that they've been married for a decade

#ideally it would be a superhero team story #where the fandom ships two characters because of their strong teamwork and close friendship and the way they watch each other's backs #and then it's revealed yeah duh of course they're a good team they're life partners

Robin chose Steve. Robin made the conscious and deliberate decision that she could and would trust Steve. She already liked him! She had fun working and bantering with him! They were already on their way to being weird little bffs and the torture just expedited the process. Steve chose Robin just the same! He thinks she's fun and cool and likes her so much! He chose to be honest and open with her too, putting himself out there.

Even though their interests on the surface level don't match why wouldn't they share them? Steve clearly caves when Robin wants to watch a movie he doesn't think he'll like, Robin can watch a March madness game or five.

Stop trying to take away their bond oh my god people can be close to more than one person!!! Their best friend doesn't have to be dismissive or mean or whatever in order for a romance to be special to them!

#if i have to see another fic or whatever that makes it seem like robin doesnt give a shit about what steve likes and talkes about im going #to scream and maybe even rampage #its nice to sit down and have someone who knows explain who the players are and what the stakes for this particular game!! #just because yall seem to not think anyone can be nutral towards sports doesnt mean people aren't #literally why is it so hard to believe robin would like to hear steve talk as much as steve likes to hear her talk #i am so close to telling some steddie shippers to not look at steve or robin or their friendship because some of yall do Not get it. #its like you can see them go 'have to make sure eddie is the most perfect specialest boy for steve...well that means robin doesn't Get Him ' #or 'robin ignores him/dismisses his interests/isnt told everything happening in his life' like okay dont ever touch them again thanks #robin is steves specialest sunshine cupcake goober girl. steve is robins bestest happy times sweet funnyman. dont u dare take that away. #omce again tsgs longer than the post but ah well. #stobin #platonic stobin #robin buckley #steve harrington #stranger things #finda's rambles #steve and robin #this is a scheduled post just to jazz things up i guess #but seriously some of yall need to STOP MESSIGN WITH STOBIN

I am once again reiterating that Leo could and should be a figure skater because what are ice skates if not twin blades? What is dual blade swordsmanship if not a dance-like performance? Using the skates as blades themselves could let Leo make portals be his ice rink no? I rest my case. ⛸️

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rottmnt headcanons #rise leo #would also like to add that he loves glam rock and unicorns! and what’s something glam rock unicorns and figure skating share #that’s right ✨glitter baby✨ #(his glam rock look unironically fits right in with figure skater attire ngl) #I also mentioned his incredible ability to hold a pose before which helps him here #plus his fighting style in general can easilyyy incorporate figure skating elements #I am this 👌 close to animating a quick gif to show what I mean by those ice skate portals #and I do specify figure skating over hockey because 1) hockey is CASEY’S thing 😤 and 2) hockey just. doesn’t fit Leo? not enough ✨pizzazz✨ #episode where the A-plot is Casey Sr showing her love for hockey and ending up playing a life or death game against yokai #she brings Raph in for help (since I like Casey & Raph friendship) and he gets the rest of the fam to help fill out the team #Casey Jr is especially excited but he’s never actually played hockey before #Leo tries to join and immediately accidentally makes a portal with his skates when he tries twirling to show off #the gang wins the match and the ep ends with Leo finally making it back completely beat up from accidental portals #the gang: wow we won! haha let’s go get hot chocolate it’s cold in here #leo: *desperately twirling over an active volcano* THIS IS THE OPPOSITE PLACE TO BE RIGHT NOW #actually to extrapolate on this more I really adore the idea of the boys’ abilities needing to be retrained as they grow #because their powers have the opportunity to grow #Mikey just randomly floating off and needing to be tethered down until he gets the hang of it lol #and stuff like that

#trigun stampede #trigun #vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #i think they both spent majority of their lives in solitude and ofc vash went town to town and made friendships promises and etc along the w #way + he had his home and whatnot in the long years he's been alive but he still just seemed so lonely. #in prior versions of trimax he had friends at home at least and maybe he mightv made some but luida and brad are basically just his #guardians in this adaption. like brad used to be a homie.... vash watched that little dude grow up.... and jessica too.... but he doesn't #have that in this adaption. nor a town like july where he had grown close to the townspeople and shaped that tragedy to be closer to his #heart. and wolfwood spent years fighting under the eom and doing shit under their jurisdiction when we saw him so adamantly try to reject #and fight back against that fate. i dont think he had a second at all to get familiar with townspeople or even care to #so its just these two lonely ass souls and vash immediately seeing the good in ww and points it out #ww who is under orders again to be involved in vash's business but he's also SO touchy about it bc vash is so careless and lack that self #regard and also just is not seeing the world that ww is seeing. but then vash helps him and saves him by sharing a piece of what /he/ sees #and it fucking. rescrambled ww's brain for a sec. HE GAVE HIM HOPE!!! he gave him hope!!!! and in turn ww gave vash hope too and its #all done in like 3-4 eps. there's so much fervent attachment in what they managed to give each other in such a short time #but theyre limited to the contract to the inevitable confrontation with knives - so while theyd want to give into that chance to love this #person who managed to give them smth special they just can't at all #ruporas art

Fellas, is it gay to keep your homoerotic reading material right next to the things that remind you of another man?
