#having dropped it doesn’t help

[kingkatsuki]

More fic ideas that I have absolutely no intention of writing.

Knight Bakugou who’s positioned to guard you. The King wants the best to protect his Princess, and Bakugou is the best. Besides, it’s not like the man had a choice, he doesn’t want to lose his job— or his life.

You hate to admit that Bakugou is good at his job, much better than the men that had tried to guard you before. Making it difficult for you to sneak out into the gardens in the evening to watch the stars, or to sneak into town for the weekend festivities.

You should hate him for ruining the routine you’d managed to work yourself into over the years, for stealing away the freedom that you’d rewarded yourself when no one else would offer you the same luxury. But somehow you can’t force yourself to dislike him, there’s something behind his cold and brash personality that has you inquisitive to find out more. Enjoying trying your best to rile him up or push his buttons— spilling your evening tea over his pristine boots, or dropping your towel in front of him when you prepare for your evening bath.

Knight Bakugou knows exactly what you’re trying to do, and he’s determined he won’t fall for your tricks— which is why he’s just as surprised as you are when he finds himself outside with you past curfew in the castle grounds watching the stars. But instead of staring up at the gorgeous night sky, he finds himself turning his head to the side to see how the moonlight glows against your skin. It’s just another thing that has now woven its way into your daily routine together, and as he walks you back to your quarters each night you like to fool yourself that it’s because he wants to, not because his life depends on it.

It isn’t long before the King begins to bring in suitors from neighbouring towns to vie for your hand in marriage. None of which are out of love, but a necessity to strengthen alliances between armies. Which is why it doesn’t matter if you even like any of them, because the choice won’t be yours. The men are scheduled to fight for your hand, and as you sit and wait for them to joust you notice Bakugou clad in full metal armour across the field.

The King positioned him as his strongest guard— because he is.

A man worthy enough to beat his strongest soldier is a man worthy enough to take his daughters hand in marriage. And yet as you watch every man come head to head with Bakugou he beats every single one.

And you think Bakugou has just beat these men because he wants to show how strong and powerful he is, but secretly it’s because he’s so in love with you.

You can’t tell whether your father is proud or annoyed at the fact, especially when Bakugou knocks the son, young Midoriya, off his horse. The man that you believed the King wanted to you marry, the most suitable alliance available.

It’s a few weeks later when Bakugou is sent away on a mission by the King. The head of an army sent out to pillage a neighbouring village who threaten to compromise the power of you’ve forged.

The morning he’s scheduled to leave is the first time he lets you kiss him, he lets you get that close. As though he’s wondering whether he’ll even return home himself. Standing in his quarters in the lower part of the castle, clad in your pyjamas and your feet freezing against the cold stone as he cradles you in his arms. Pouring every ounce of emotion into the kiss as he finally allows himself to have you, even if just for a few selfish moments. Bakugou reckons it’s worth the risk of dying, to feel your lips on his again. A fellow guard, Kirishima catches you both as he takes Bakugou away from you— watching them ride off on horseback as you still feel the warmth of him surrounding you.

You stay awake each night wondering whether he’s even still alive too— whether you’ll ever see him again. The new guards are just as useless as before and you find yourself longing for his safe return.

It’s two months before your father has another man lined up as a potential suitor. Wondering who might fight for your honour now that Bakugou is gone, but you’re shocked when the King says there’s no need for such friviolity. That the wedding is scheduled, and it’s the right reason to strengthen the Kingdom. It’s not for love, it could never be when your heart belongs to Bakugou.

And even if you told your father about your feelings for his guard, it would be issuing Bakugou his own death sentence if he even managed to make it home at all.

But fate really can be a cruel, fickle thing— and as fate would have it Bakugou returns home the day you’re standing at the altar wearing a pretty wedding dress like you’d dreamed about, while you’re waiting to be betrothed to another man.

#but can you imagine the LONGING #like I’d love this from Bakugous POV??? #like imagine his thoughts when you drop your towel?!?! I’ll scream #and he wants to fight his feelings so bad #but when it comes to jousting he can’t help but jab the fuckers extra hard. knocking them off their horses and the wind out of them #and he starts thinking about how it would feel waking up beside you or plunging his cock into you #finds himself watching you in the wee hours when you’re fast asleep because it’s the only time he can look at you without you noticing #and it kills him to have to push you away when you try to kiss him and the hurt that flashes in your eyes #but he doesn’t want to die AND he doesn’t want to get you in trouble #because a life with you even if he can’t have you is better than not having you at all??? #knight bakugou #soft bakugou

red bull: daniel’s bad habits from mclaren are fixed, he did well in the sim, and his tire test was so good that we immediately knew he was ready to be in a car.

alpha tauri & yuki: daniel’s feedback on the car has been instrumental, and he performed so well in difficult race conditions even though he didn’t have any upgrades and had some bad luck.

rando twitter user who doesn’t have the data, didn’t know liam lawson’s name three weeks ago, and constantly insults the way red bull quickly drops drivers who don’t perform: they’re only letting him drive for pr even though he’s a washed up failure.

#like is red bull too harsh on their drivers or are they hiring a pr merchant who can’t perform. pick a side. #it’s just hilarious that every single person who actually knows the sport & daniel’s data/contributions #won’t shut up about how helpful he’s been and how well he’s done and how mclaren doesn’t reflect his performance #but these random people on twitter think they know better #and their excuse is ‘well liam scored points’ as if he isn’t driving a different car entirely lmfao #like liam has done well! i like liam a lot! #but he’s benefited from a better car/things happening around him in the race/not being head to head against yuki #he’s done a great job but there’s literally been ZERO real head to head comparison between the 3 drivers #but alpha tauri/red bull rate daniel and they have his data and know what hes done for the car & setup #i don’t ever deny that daniel’s popularity certainly doesn’t hurt #but they dropped nyck like he was nothing #red bull axes anyone who can’t perform #if daniel couldn’t do it then he wouldn’t have a seat. not that hard to understand. #people on the internet make me feral. i cannot use the internet. i need to stick to my curated feeds bc everyone is so STUPID.

beauty and beast au but Claire’s the one cursed because she’s the only one I can see literally pissing a sorceress off enough to get cursed. (If we’re going off the original movie Jim would probably offer them a hot meal and a room for the night, knowing him he’d make everything super accommodating)

#are we seeing the vision or have I lost my mind #Jim would literally drop everything to help this literal hag who waltzed through the door #Claire would..not be doing that #bonus points if the witch is Morgana then they’re throwing hands #I could see her trying to offer a deal like say she’s after Claire’s magic and sevitude or something and when she refuses boom Morgana #curses her and everyone else that’s in the ballroom at the time #And because it’s Morgana she’d probably make the curse super difficult to break #so like by the time she’s 18 if she doesn’t agree to serve Morgana when the last petal on the rose falls she dies with the rose #so Claire’s kinda given up on hope cuz she’d rather die than give Morgana her magic #Barbara’s a traveling doctor so her and Strickler set off to another town for a trip and get caught in the snow storm #and they get locked up for entering the castle and trespassing #Jim goes after them because they don’t come back the day after #instead of Claire keeping them there though I think she’d just give all three the chance to leave with some pressing from her friends #Jim ends up rethinking his decision due to the fact that Toby even as a cursed object can’t for the life of him keep a secret #when he hears the castle is under a curse he’s immediately interested in helping #even if Claire really just wants this nosy human boy and his parents to be on their way #oh shit I think I just wrote another au #trollhunters #tales of arcadia #jim lake jr #claire nuñez #toa #jlaire #this was just chillin in my drafts for awhile

Spoilers for Alan Wake/Control games and DLCs: one of the things I really like in Alan Wake 2 is the confirmation that, no, Alan can’t create something out of nothing. There were implications in-story that supported that, but it was good to have that be a big part in the sequel. The AWE control dlc easily made it seem like Alan himself had a role in the events of the game and the formation of the FBC, and, personally, seeing it through that lens cheapened a lot of the game and Jesse’s story. Instead, having his writing influence the Hiss and try to manipulate (even out of desperation) Jesse/the FBC to end Hartman and get help, fit right into plot and conflicts of Alan Wake 2, with Alan being sympathetic, but also an asshole for trying to change and control people’s lives in his writing.

#since the awe dlc dropped I was slightly worried that it was going the meta route of Alan writing everything in control #but since Alan wake 2 I’ve been. thank god that wasn’t the case 😭 #this way makes everything more complicated and mysterious. which I appreciate. makes everything creepier #will say. it’s still wild how much Alan can influence the narrative. #light spoilers for the final draft but—> makes me think of the writers room video where he doesn’t know what he’ll be at the spirals end #like I don’t think he’ll be Evil or anything. but it’s unnerving #might delete #Alan Wake 2 my beloved #so many times in that game it could’ve gone a direction that would’ve lessened or soured the story but somehow it didn’t lmao #more game spoilers but for ex: Alice coming back at the end instead of leaving it with her demise in the documentary #when I first saw that it was devastating. but also wasn’t sure what to feel if that’s how she’s gone from the story #having her actually manipulate her photos. become art to make Alan think she died. go to the dark place and help him and saga #that last video left me Speechless it was so good. #esp after how much I disliked Control (spoilers here) for quickly ending with Dylan in a coma and not much else. #could not be happier with how the AW2 ending played out and the clear love for all its characters #REALLY hope that Control 2 ends in a good or interesting place. give dylan some focus! #not tagging this bc I’m just yelling my thoughts. but knowing tumblr it will somehow be seen on every tag 😵‍💫

are my extreme mood swings due to my pmdd, audhd, cptsd, or is it bipolar: i will never know and all i do is confuse my therapists

#literally the amt of therapists ive had to drop bc they are clearly just NOT trained enough or at all to deal w whatever it is im going thru #also they love to pretend capitalism is not a problem and that i can just fix everything thru ~positive mindsets~ #it’s so frustrating i feel as if i will nvr get better #no medication ive ever tried has helped that much either and i have been on god. at least 10 diff ssris/snris/benzos #all that ever helped was gabapentin but my dr refuses to prescribe it to me bc she doesn’t like the dependency aspect #bitch i am about to kill myself i’m gonna be harmed either way 👍

Am I being ghosted or is my anxiety extra high today?

#I’ve been talking to this guy nonstop this week #and it’s now been 29 hours since I heard from him #am I crazy for being worried #like is the past affecting me #or should I be worried #it doesn’t help that he got me deep into little space #and then vanished #I feel like I have sub drop

For the nonexistent record most conservative “debate” show hosts would not last even a full round in an actual debate comption

#fucking out here breaking decorum with every breath #the biggest thing I noticed was people interrupting and speaking over their opponent which I’m pretty sure would get them disqualified #it also doesn’t help they don’t have good sources most the time if any #they also drop points a lot which is basically an admission that the other party is right so that’s cool #I haven’t been in debate in years so I’m a bit rusty but it’s actually disgusting how much decorum is just ignored #like this it’s ridiculous

ppl will go “i’d notice if society was going to sacrifice a marginalised group of people and if they said that it’s ok that a bunch of people would die then i would stand against it” and then they’ll hear people saying “well only disabled and vulnerable people will die of covid” and go “yes this is normal and ok and fine”

#first of all it’s not only disabled people who are dying and also covid can disable you real quick and make you part of that group that #people are fine with dying #but also do y’all hear yourself bed sometimes. the amount of people who claim to be allies but with throw others aside as soon as it #interferes with their comfort #also there have been so many studies and reports and articles on how covid disproportionally affects poc. not to mention inequalities in #healthcare that come into play too when you’re dealing with a pandemic #but as soon as y’all have to stop going to parties or restaurants or isolating for two weeks when exposed or confirmed positive or even if #you suspect you have it. or any of the millions of other things that at this point are important facets of community care and protecting #yourself and others from a disease that has been proven and continues to be proven to do a lot of damage to the body #y’all just balk. you don’t drop your claims but that doesn’t mean you’ve dropped your allyship #I’d love to go back to normal. i’d love to go out without a mask and eat in restaurants and do all the things i did before covid #but i won’t. because i know that isn’t safe for me or my friends/family/community and also quite literally isn’t possible now because we’re #still in a pandemic. if you claim to be an ally to disabled people then prove it and mask #I can’t speak as fully on allyship to other communities who are disproportionately impacted but not masking harms everyone and if anyone #does want to speak on allyship to their communit(y/ies) feel free to go ahead #covid tw #fired up about this because i’m doing radioactive iodine treatment in a few weeks and my mother is taking no precautions. not only am i at #risk if i catch covid but if she gets sick i either have to postpone my treatment to care for her (which risks giving my cancer more time to #metastasise if there are cells left) or i have to figure out another plan for treatment since my current plan hinges on her help since i #have to isolate #im just tired and frustrated. a pandemic doesn’t stop just because you get bored #vent tw #this is not as eloquent as i wish it was and the lack of punctuation and tone can make parts confusing but i think y’all get my point

[steampunk-raven]

ughhhh I can’t fucking draw cuz of my fucking flare-up

#remember when my joint pain wasn’t in my arms. wasn’t that nice. wasn’t that lovely. now I can’t consistently use my hands #either because it hurts too much or my fingers are super weak and drop stuff constantly #this is not ideal for stuff like drawing. or like. using a cane. which is also important because my WORST joint pain is in my legs #I have a wrist strap but it still doesn’t help much #disability

[villainaficionado]

Grad school is having to beg your professors for an extension because you’ve been struggling to keep up the entire semester and keep getting sick over and over.

#idk why they even still have late policies after covid #it’s one thing having to turn in assignments late due to being constantly sick and it’s another to cheat and use AI #i really feel professors should be differentiating between those two things #im afraid i’m going to flunk this semester because of how bad my grades are currently #and it’s like i started the semester out in the hospital and i’m still miserable for half a month every month even with the meds #so that’s half my life spent in misery #not to mention i keep getting sick on top of that #im starting to think grad school is not going to work out and i’ll have to drop out #it doesn’t help that the one professor hasn’t graded anything so it’s impossible to know how im doing in his class

🐺 The Thatcher Family - original work

[template by the lovely @unholymilf]

#oc insp: jayde thatcher #oc insp: skye thatcher #oc insp: andrea thatcher #oc insp: tristan thatcher #as soon as I saw this template I wanted to make something for them #my fav aesthetic is yeehaw werewolves and that’s what they had going on before everything went bad…. #Andrea loved her horses and Tristan loved his moo cows and Skye loved her chickens 😔 #Jayde was just happy to help out with barn chores #and every full moon they would shift and run together #Tristan and Andrea made the girls’ first shifts extra special too #if things hadn’t gone to shit they probably would have had more kids too #but Tristan be dead as hell…….. #and Jayde witnessed it at 16 and blames herself #and werewolves mate for life so Andrea won’t and doesn’t want to find love again #I’d say Skye was lucky cause she got dropped off at a family friend pack #but their alpha is a peace of work and she viewed Skye as a prize because it was assumed she was the last of her line #and that alpha is VERY old fashioned and is obsessed with purebred bloodlines and pack hierarchies #a very archaic way of thinking with a lot of modern wolves #but they also have long lifespans so there’s some werewolf Boomers out there #ok I need to stop rambling but I have put SO much thought into how werewolf societal structures work in my original work lmao

Girl the hell you mean your life doesn’t always have heads up, all I asked is that you give me more than 24 hours before asking (making) me do hard labor or asking me to (making me) drop everything I’m doing and go with you to another city for my whole day. You are NOT a busy person

#your life doesn’t have heads ups #LIES #you sit around most of the day everyday #and the people you drop everything to help are using you #the couple of old ladies have each other and more than enough money to get a caretaker #and make you treat me bad because they treat you bad and you refuse to be aware of it #and IDK who Francesca is or how you met her but you are not a taxi #and yeah I care because you need to focus on caring for yourself and making yourself happy now because you are old and not as sharp now #but also because you would never drop everything to help me or accommodate me that way #haven’t ever that I can recall #and these are strangers that you support better than me and worry yourself about

[cryptidafter]

told my mom I couldn’t afford to replace the fridge and she’d have to put it on her credit card and that was the most nerve wracking part of my morning

time to lie on the couch for the rest of the day lol

#cryptid’s thoughts #partially joking but my anxiety has been so high since yesterday #telling my mom no even though it’s reasonable is still a challenge for me #that guilt is deep-rooted 😮‍💨 #like I bought her a brand new washer and dryer when I moved in because hers had been broken for at least two months #cleaned up the rooms we’re using and repainted (didn’t ask her to help) #pay rent every month! #and yet my mom still doesn’t have money or pay the bills on time #and whenever anything goes wrong she expects me or my sister (who doesn’t live here anymore!) to pay for it #like I’m thankful for my job but I’m not rich lol - I can’t just drop thousands of dollars at a moment’s notice #and my mom likes to make us feel terrible and guilt us and it’s not easy but I’ve been working on standing firm #our relationship has been so strained since I moved in #same thing happened with my sister #like we love her but my mom is unwell and she’s done us a lot of harm 😞 #dealing with trauma is hard lol

I’m a certified Frozen enjoyer but I am underwhelmed at best and honestly pretty concerned at the concept of another frozen movie. I would, however, sell my soul to get a Nimona sequel. Hope this helps <3

#idk what with I just. hope it helps. #I know disney movies have been becoming less actual art and more mass produced product for a while now #but I think it’s really hitting a point where even the movies they’re really supposed to try with #just don’t have any heart anymore. and again it’s not like it’s some sudden change it’s been dropping a lot for a while #but even my low standards aren’t being met by most of them and the stuff that makes me wanna vomit has been vastly outnumbering the rest #and now them announcing sequels just makes me. worried and kinda sad. like they know they won’t pay people enough #to craft anything worthwhile. so they’re lazily falling back on IP that absolutely doesn’t need more content squeezed out of it. #anyway none of this matters it’s just a symptom of the state of media atm

i’ve reached terminal level brainrot w/ leverage and that is the “insert remortal tony into a plot even if it makes no sense”

#first i was like. ok let him get shot by a mark that would be fun #(he’s not in on it he’s just Here and intervenes re: bullet) #but then i remembered hardison’s fancy EMP gun #and now i’m thinking that they should be stalling him for some reason #mark is a rival company. tony’s on his way there. they need the mark to think tony’s backed out of smth #i don’t know or care why #but like. he gets in his car and hardison pulls the trigger like no car no go #and tony almost IMMIEDIETLY keels over #everyone in the van at the scene starts freaking out (i think it’s parker eliot hardison. for reasons) #and nate just asks. hey hardison. what would happen if you pointed that thing at someone with a pacemaker #AND WELL YEAH ABOUT THAT #hardison is very upset. he didn’t mean to do this! it was an accident! he doesn’t want to be a murderer #they all try to help but by the time they even get across the parking garage it’s too late #anyways eliot takes him into the van bc they need to figure out what to DO about this #while nate and sophie continue with the con #they can’t just drop it. too suspicious. no one wants hardison to go down for murder but!!! tony is dead! hardison did do it! it’s a mess!! #if they’re lucky it might get chalked up to natural causes if someone finds his body #pacemaker failure. if he’s already had a bad heart (and he’s have to to keel over that quick from an EMP) #it’s not impossible. #anyways they’re all yelling about this meanwhile tony is just being Very Very still on the floor of the van #like ‘’pls just dump me in the river so i can Leave.’’ #he can tell how freaked hardison is abt it and feels a bit bad for him gkskdksksk #like yeah he knows he killed him but it was an accident!!! and honestly what he’s hearing abt their con #well. he’s not opposed. he knows enough about whatever mark this is #he just wants to be dumped somewhere so he can go home #make some sort of appearance so he gets on the news so no one thinks he’s dead #but then they start talking about assumptions abt the mark and the job and. fuck. #he can’t help himself but he sits up like ‘’you’re wrong that won’t work’’ #and everyone in the van screams
