#just casually like they're having a conversation

[thebirthofvenusfly]

hi i was raised in a home daycare for over 20 years and studied child development and psychology in school for 3 and would like to gush about why i love how bonnie was written and how they're one of the few kids in games i've played that Actually Feel Like a Kid:

firstly: bonnie's diction

bonnie cursing like a sailor is honestly pretty accurate for a kid aged like 9-14 and i distinctly remember having a huge cursing phase of my own at that age too so LMAO

they ask a lot of questions adjacent to a kids' understanding/confusion of things, social norms, situations, feelings, etc. (the conversation about the actors kissing in that play they saw and how they MUST have had an invisible paper between their lips because nobody would REALLY kiss on stage in front of everybody!)

they can be incredibly blunt but often not with the intention to hurt feelings rather than genuinely acquire information (sometimes with some sass b/c of previous conditioning.) ex. "Our teacher always tells us we have to speak up more... You're an adult so why don't you speak up more?" (Precedent/Conditioning; "Adult in position of power and authority has ingrained it is important to use my voice." -> "Why don't you, an adult who should know better, use yours more then?")

they have a tendency to confidently and casually use words and phrases they don't fully understand or know ("Air-no-no-nomic" -> this especially being something picked up by a fellow kid and just trusted that) (struggling to say, "pomegranate" (very cute watching odile help them with it :,) ) (struggling to say onigiri -> purposely messing this up to get a playful reaction out of dile, a party member they're especially close to, was also very sweet)

it's hard to discuss feelings. they're more likely to use a vessel as a means of connecting to someone else before being able to assign words to everything (offering a peach to siffrin in the classroom because they recognize he's upset without fully understanding why, then waiting for him to address the situation)

secondly: how bonnie handles feelings towards the others and about their Scenario

tendency to hold onto hard, serious, difficult-to-breach subjects and then explode and scream when addressed (ex. Rotten Adults quest)

slightly more partial to physical touch than verbal affirmation (hugs, hugs, hugs! including the little half-hugs they do where they just run into siffrin's side...)

jabbing siffrin in the stomach as a show of example for touching them LMAO???

recounting stories and information that interests them without regard for how socially appropriate it is or why others may react poorly (ex. talking to the party about how nille ran away with them and why she did)

unspoken guilt and trauma causing disconnection from people they love (siffrin's eye situation)

just a few examples and thoughts i liked

#im not an education major but i would be if i didnt love art #all of my psychology and child development studies are purely elective/voluntary #kids are too wonderful man #too funny #too adorable #isat spoilers #in stars and time spoilers #isat #in stars and time #bonnie #bonnie isat #isat bonnie

All your posts are making me like 🫠 I think I reblogged all three keke

I need to shout about this... In the Miracle tiktok where Taehyun is dancing while SoobKai film with ILLIT... I don't know if he's eating or chewing gum but it looks like he's chewing gum and why is it so attractive to me. Now I've combined this with basketball Taehyun, thinking how hot it would be to watch him doing a solo practice, shooting and doing dribbling drills while casually making conversation with you, chewing gum the whole time. Am I crazy? Maybe, because before now, I'd probably say gum is gross.

WAIT but now I'm imagining this scenario is the first time you hang out after he sees you fraternising with the enemy (Yeonjun) and he's trying to act like it doesn't bother him that you gave him your number, only that you were clapping for the wrong team OKAY stop me and my imagination 😅 I love Taehyun

and I love you, so glad to see you're still around 💕

CEE I love you too! and I'm happy to see you around also <3 you have no idea how much I've been giggling to myself from your tags hehe :> thank you for the rbs and reading your reactions were fun too 🤭 and you saying that I make sport-centric fics fun for you to read is truly a huge compliment to me omg, I always get nervous because I'm not 100% sure about what I'm writing most of the time, so thank you ilysm 🫶🏼

ALSO reading this made my jaw drop because you're literally onto something with that omg. I noticed that too during soogyu's tiktok with ILLIT— it's the way taehyun does it so nonchalantly with the subtle chewing and it is kinda hot. I used to find people who do that quite obnoxious lmao, but like I can't stand if they're really smacking their gum, ygm? ANYWAY—

jealous bsf!taehyun x gn!reader, dialogue heavy

okay so, the first time you and taehyun hang out after the game is a couple of days later. he'd agreed to hang out with you at the park since you both had checked the weather in advance; it was sunnier than usual. you both decided to meet each other at your regular spot and you're not surprised to find taehyun already there, sitting on the grass and on his phone. usually he'd notice you when you walk up behind him, but it was almost like he'd purposely ignored you and waiting until you had to announce that you were there.

"tyun?" you sit beside him slowly leaning in to give him a usual hug when you greet each other but he gave you a lazy side hug. damn. "been waiting long?"

"no."

that's all you get? he pockets his phone, palms against the grass as he leans back chewing his gum nonchalantly and looking at the busy field in front of you. there seems to be a group of high schoolers training for soccer.

"um, are we good?" you ask quietly, heart pounding in your chest and a little afraid for the first time in forever.

he hums, eyes focused on the ball being passed from player to player.

"yeah, why wouldn't we?" his voice monotone but knowing taehyun, that was normal. "how's yeonjun. are you guys like text buddies now or something?"

now that wasn't what you were expecting. well shit. taehyun's mad and you don't know if that's all he has to say about it.

"no, tyun. he didn't even call me so I don't even have his number. I'm assuming he's busy is all. I wasn't really expecting much." you nudge his shoulder playfully, craning your neck in attempt to be in his visual field, but to no avail, his vision doesn't budge. you sit back in your original position, also watching the ball from afar. "does it bother you?"

you best friend scoffs, apparently he finds something humorous that you possibly missed.

"it doesn't. why'd you even talk to that guy anyway, you know he just does that to boost his ego because he lost the game." taehyun finally turns his head to look at you and you look at him within a fraction of a second, eyes holding eye contact for the first time that day.

"I'm sure he had good intentions-"

"good intentions." taehyun scoffs again, almost chuckles after he repeats it again. "that guy never has good intentions, ___. and I thought you were there to support me, then I catch you clapping for his three pointer."

your stomach churns a little from the guilt. you didn't know he saw that. and what do you even say? you thought it was impressive? you had a feeling yeonjun shot that shot for you?

"don't even try and think of some lame ass excuse because you know damn well I can tell when you're not telling me the truth." his voice assertive but his gaze on you softens, wanting you to be comfortable with him like you usually are.

you let out a deep sigh.

"he looked at me before that moment and I assumed he did that to impress me..." your voice trails off, trying to look at taehyun through your peripheral, not wanting to look at him directly. "I don't know tyun, he seemed pretty genuine and he's kinda cute too."

after explaining as honestly as you could, the air was filled with a short silence between the both of you and distant shouting and birds flying by.

"I can be kinda cute too." taehyun grumbles under his breath and you swear it wasn't some sort of auditory hallucination. that is what you heard, right?

"hm?" you turn to him, tilting your head to the side waiting for him to hopefully repeat himself.

"why'd you want him when I've been here all this time." his rhetorical reply left you blinking a couple of times, processing what exactly he's inferring. "in short, you have me. and I have you."

your chest starts heaving slowly. taehyun, your best friend, really said that. his fingers gently caresses yours, also supporting your weight on the grass while you both lean back.

the train of thought in your discombobulated mind is disrupted by him calling your name, now in a softer tone.

"so, what do you say? I'm willing to risk this friendship and try something more with you, ___. if you let me."

his says his confession, almost as if he's been yearning for you to be his for a while, but is it wrong that you still can't stop thinking about yeonjun?

"taehyun," you sit upright, holding his hand in yours. "I'm going to be honest with you, but promise me don't get mad."

the hope in taehyuns eyes disappears, feeling his heart sink to his stomach ready for your rejection. he nods.

"I love you, and always have, but that's because you're my best friend. and at the moment, yeonjun left quite the impression on me so he's still on my mind, but there's nothing much that helps him in his favour."

"so what you're saying is?" your fingers interlock with his, your thumb rubbing the back of his.

"is that I'm willing to try this with you, because, unlike you," you tease, "I like to give people chances."

you prod at his side as he exhales and rolls his eyes playfully.

"I couldn't risk you being whisked away before I even made a move on you." taehyun defends himself the best he could.

"no but really, from time to time I have felt like I've loved you more than a friend. so that's why I want to try, but can we take it slow?"

"yeah, of course. I'll just have to push yeonjun out your thoughts first." his comment makes you laugh.

taehyun's singular dimpled smile returns and it's contagious, he has you smiling back at him too. you didn't realise when you two ended up sitting closer to each other to close the gap, but you took the opportunity to lean your head on his shoulder.

"and you are kinda cute."

Steve grit his teeth as Tony carefully, casually prodded his thigh with the toe of his left foot again. They were fighting, and he couldn't tell if this was an olive branch or a deliberate attempt to make him lose his cool.

They didn't fight often. They argued a lot, of course. He and Tony both had very strong personalities, and they also had very strong opinions. More difficult still, Steve was from a different time, and while he'd made great strides in acclimating himself to the time (and while Tony had been very patient as he learned) some things he said and believed still had them butting heads sometimes.

Tony prodded his thigh again, and Steve sucked in a deep breath and closed his eyes, exhaling slowly. He would not give Tony the satisfaction of reacting.

"I'm not going to stop poking you until you give me some attention," Tony finally declared, prodding him again.

"We are fighting and I'm still mad at you," Steve answered curtly, looking back down at his book. He figured that was attention enough, with the mood he was in and their fight still hovering at the edges of their conversations.

The ball of Tony's foot stayed pressed to his thigh a moment longer before he slowly drew it back. "Oh. Sorry."

Steve slanted his gaze over at that, brows furrowing together at the tone of Tony's voice. It was the one he used when he knew he'd misstepped but didn't understand why. He looked genuinely upset before his emotional shutters came back down as he returned his gaze to his tablet. He pulled his feet in closer, tucking himself tighter into the corner of the couch.

Steve watched him, considering, then carefully asked, "We... are still fighting, aren't we?"

"Of course. Obviously," Tony scoffed, prodding at his screen a little harder than he usually might.

Steve waited a beat, but Tony didn't plow on like he usually did when he was angry. He'd had no problem shouting for hours yesterday, but Steve had no doubt he'd come up with new things to shout if he was still very upset. He cast around his mind for what Tony's sudden change in heart and remembered, frowning, that Colonel Rhodes had huffed out a frustrated, 'well, his parents never apologized to each other, at least not in front of him, so he thinks fights just stop eventually and you carry on as usual.'

Tony must have just been... ready for things to carry on as usual. Steve set his book in his lap and sighed again, tipping his head against the back of the couch. He'd been the second one to sit down on the couch. Tony must have thought that was an olive branch. And maybe it had been, he realized, turning to look at Tony again. Maybe, unconsciously, he'd been ready to end the fight, too. But not like Tony wanted, where they simply stopped talking about it and returned to life as normal.

"I'm sorry," Steve said, because he was. His ma always said it took two people to fight, after all.

Tony prodded at his tablet a couple more times, then turned his head a little, peering at him out of the corner of his eye. "...For what?" he finally asked, skeptical.

"For fighting," Steve answered simply. He'd learned early on that if he said too much, Tony would have more to read into.

Tony turned his head away, then looked back at him, eyes narrowed. "...I'm... sorry... too," he finally said, slowly, like he was waiting for Steve to spring some sort of trap after each word.

It hurt a little, Steve could admit to himself. But luckily, he'd learned that it wasn't his own shortcomings as a boyfriend that caused Tony to be suspicious of something he thought was a good thing; the lists of people who had hurt Tony in the past were all available online, after all. Not necessarily under that label, but Steve was pretty good at reading between the lines.

And it was a step in the right direction, Steve figured. Acknowledging their wrongs to each other was certainly better than just letting them go unsaid. They could have a discussion about it later, when the hurt wasn't so fresh and they had time to decompress.

Until then, Steve reached out to grab Tony's ankle and drag his leg back out, and Tony squawked as he was pulled across the cushions. "C'mere."

"Brute!" Tony howled, trying to claw his way back across the couch, but Steve's grip on his leg was immovable. "Stop fucking dragging me everywhere you want me, you neanderthal, I--"

"You what?" Steve asked, flipping him easily, and immediately dug his thumbs into Tony's arch, exactly where he knew Tony got sorest. Tony let out a moan, and Steve knew he had won, at least for the moment.

Y'know the together!RLS au? The one where they stay "together"? Yes, so, a hc about it!

Sanji's birthday, maybe 14 yo especifially, and both Law and Robin aren't really far from Baratie and both just think "fuck it. we haven't see our baby brother in four years!" and call one month before his birthday to say they will go see him. Sanji is over the moon, of course, and the next day when ASL and Garp come to Baratie, he tells his boyfriends the news.

So, his day comes and both his siblings are there early, so they can help and have time for just the three of them. Some hours later, when the hour of the party comes, Garp and his grandsons arrive. ASL are very very happy to see Sanji and celebrate for the first time with him as boyfriends.

And they also meet their boyfriend older siblings and also watch their dynamic and... it's different from them own, RLS are more the quiet & subite affection type. Watch the casual way Robin and Law use their devil fruits (Robin even more) is kinda freaking out everyone except Sanji.

In the end of the day, Law gives Sanji a gift who is a new version of the blonde's old camera, bc the other wasn't working more (but Law managed to save the photos) with Sanji's favorite photos from all the ones they've take. Now, he has the photos on his wall and desk, just like new ones with his boyfriends.

That's so cute!! Oh lordy, okay.

So in preparation for Sanji's birthday Robin finds out Crocodile is headed to the East Blue for business around that time and she asks to tag along saying she has business at Baratie on Sanji's birthday and Crocodile shrugs and agrees. Law has to get a few things specifically in the East Blue before heading back to the North Blue and decides the crew is going to meet Sanji and celebrate his birthday. Bepo, Shachi, and Penguin are losing it as the others in the crew are confused about who Sanji is outside of the photo Law has hanging. So they are both headed to Baratie, having called beforehand to inform him of their being there. Sanji is absolutely ecstatic about them coming.

They arrive a day early for introductions to be made properly and to start setting up for the closure-even if Sanji insisted that they didn't need to be Zeff kicked him swiftly and told him to shut up and enjoy the family reunion properly. Patty and Carne and the other staff are concerned about Nico Robin being there because of the rumors but Law calls them all dumb assholes which Zeff laughs at. Law isn't wrong and Zeff says so. Sanji and Robin meet the rest of the Heart crew that came after the storm, excited to see them either way. So they close down and clean and Law of course runs scans over his siblings because they're his siblings and he needs to make sure they're okay.

The next morning as they're setting the last few things for the party up they find Sanji smoking outside and Law is shaking the now fourteen year old and demanding why he's ruining his lungs and tastebuds as Robin giggles. Sanji is grumbling something or other about them meeting his boyfriends and understanding. Law immediately sicks Bepo upon him. Sanji just burrows into the bear. Then Garp arrives with ASL and the loud screaming immediately interrupts the calm as Sanji apologizes for them. All of them touchy and grabby with the blond as they scream happy birthday and Sanji. Law sighs and Zeff did say Sanji warned them, Law disagrees and says they weren't properly warned.

Of course ASL are all over Sanji but when he does get them to calm down, as much as he can anyway, Robin and Law make polite conversation with them and help with the party. Garp is keeping an eye on the wanted siblings, losing a lot of trust in Sanji for hiding them. But Garp is also watching Law shambles dirty dishes away as Robin refills drinks and plates and fixes Sanji's hair and clothes with the extra hands she sprouts all over. Law also will just walk over and fix the way he looks and complains he's still too thin and chastise him for smoking.

The Baratie staff and Zeff find their powers weird and kind of gross. ASL are watching with interest because it's way more subtle, the way they show their affection to Sanji. It's just not as overt, subtle in the way they pull him aside to fix him. The little brushes as they pass by, and the looks thrown to him. When it's time for presents it's mostly cookbooks and clothes. Law gives him a box and apologizes for the first one breaking and Sanji is looking at him confused until he opens the box and freezes. Ace moves into ask what's wrong as tears start falling but Sanji is wrapped around Law as Robin sprouts hands to catch the box. Law is just holding him as Robin looks in the box and smiles as she picks through the photos and calls him a masochist with a smile. Zeff asks what the hell is going on as Sanji wipes his face and calls Law an asshole with a big smile as Robin displays the camera and explains they got one for Sanji a few weeks after meeting the little skeleton boy.

Do they take a lot of photos that day? Yes. Does Sanji hang up photos all over his room? Yes. Are they also all over the tree house and bandit house? Yes. Law gave him the best present that day. And it gets a lot of use.

Columbo + his basset hound named "Dog"

He doesn't look like a police dog. Well, he isn't. He's a policeman's dog. Believe me, there's a big difference.

I have a hc that post beating the crap out of his CO but prior to being demoted back to corporal, wash spent like a week as an ODST drill sergeant as a 'punishment' until the higher ups finished their investigation, and that's the only real experience training others he has going into chorus.

so basically, wash tortured tucker and the combined armies of chorus with the brutal training used to root out the people who couldn't make the cut as an ODST, which only makes the scene where the kids jump grif even funnier than it already is.

#he was waaaaay nicer to the chorus kids than he was to people who were actually trying to be ODSTs btw #he was still putting them through the absolute ringer though lol #rvb #red vs blue #agent washington #i like to think kimball and doyle casually bring up the intensity of the training in conversation at some point #and sarge overhears and just goes 'hehe I remember when i went through ODST training. this has nothing on those three hellish weeks' #and he has to explain what an ODST is #and they're like 😬 but the kids like wash and they trust him to do a good job based on the words of the bgc #but at the same time they're like 'oh this may have been a bit of a mistake' #but then they realize their only other option is carolina and they're like 'you know what nvm'

[swinging-stars-from-satellites]

actually I think the thing about being a youth leader is that 25% of it is teaching about God, 25% is playing fun games, and more than that though 50% of it is making a safe space for kids to be. not to try and make them believe, not so they'll be open or anything. just. a 100% no stakes, safe place for them to just BE. whatever else comes after that. and I don't just mean physically safe, two-adults-in-the-room-at-all-times, et cetera. I mean emotionally safe. I mean not hitting them over the head with scripture, not trying to help them feel better or any particular way. just... a no-judgment, emotionally safe place to exist as kids.

#I'm convinced that my time on Tumblr helps me with this tbh. idk how to explain it but it does #I had one kid this weekend really overtired and stressed out just uncontrollably crying and like. the goal there #is not to make them feel better or stop crying. the goal is to be a safe person for them to feel those things with #does that make sense??? #another one doesn't believe in God at all but told me about some really heavy stuff and like. the goal isn't to start #talking their ear off about Jesus it's just to be a safe place for them to come to. this kid didn't want prayer during ministry time #but I did casually tell them at the end of our conversation that I would be praying for them anyway. you have to keep it chill #and not put pressure on them yknow??? they're kids #idk. #adventures in youth group #anyway pray for a few kids in particular I won't share any more detail than I did here but some stuff got shaken loose for sure #Lu rambles

Jekyll and Hyde/The Vampyre crossover where allegedly it's about Hyde and Ruthven teaming up to do Some Mischief(TM), but in practice it mostly ends up being Jekyll and Ruthven loudly complaining about how no one can correctly pronounce their Scottish last names.

Tossing 🙉 back at u :3 (also 🤝)

How do they react to silence?

I think, from what I've seen of spaceships on good old doccy who, they are never quiet. Not just TARDISes (though Even would love that they are so. well. expressive.) space travel is just noisy in an ambient hum sort of way. A noisy ship is a good ship, a functional ship. A silent ship is bad. The only silent part of space travel is space.

And that's why Even would get so anxious if things were fully quiet around them. With their feet firmly on the ground, they'd get nervous if they couldn't hear anything. It's like a background check constantly running: Can I Hear Things Working: IF yes -> everything is fine. IF no -> we are all about to die.

How do they react to being touched by another person?

very dependent on the person! touch-starved even real and true, but touch-anxious(?) even! also very real! you must approach them like they are a spooked horse and you are the last horsegirl on the ranch who needs them to win the big horse race. treats are very helpful in this regard.

In all seriousness, it's all about trust. Once that's established, Even is. I hesitate to say cuddly. It's more like, they do not understand personal space, do not want to understand personal space, and will insinuate themself into whatever position puts them in the most contact with the person they want to touch. (And very appreciative of things that act as an extension of touch when it can't be supplied, such as getting to wear the Doctor's coat.) They warm up to Jack extremely quick because he's just Like That about casual physical touch, and they enjoy it very much. Once they've befriended Donna, they want to be holding her hand or leaning against her whenever she's nearby. Their first time round with the Doctor, they are constantly reaching for him or returning his touch, easily and happily.

And the second time round, they. aren't. They're skittish about letting him touch them, and they only allow it if they can initiate it and end it on their terms. Even then, it's never going to be an easy thing again, but it isn't unwanted. It will never be unwanted.

And then the Master is. at a certain point, and a lot of boundaries drawn, crossed, redrawn, crossed again, and then forgotten altogether on both sides, and way too much time spent in each other's pockets, it ends up that Even doesn't really register the Master touching them as another person touching them. or. maybe it'd be more accurate to say that the Master touching them doesn't feel to them like the Master touching someone else. That it's more akin to someone touching an object they own to make sure it's still there, or even scratching their own arm to make sure they can feel it. And in turn, Even has even fewer boundaries with them then they managed to develop for other people.

#they are deeply weird about each they really are #even will stick their hands under the master's clothes to put them against her skin. and the master will just let that happen at this point #and likewise even will just. let them put them in threatening positions. a hand on their throat or holding their arm in a position where #it would be easy to break it. and even will just stand there as she does. weirdly calm about it. #asakdljaljd sorry wait thought about the doctor and missy having an almost civil conversation that's interrupted by even sticking #their hand up missy's skirt to find her thigh. like. extremely casually. and when they're satisfied they get bored and move away again #the doctor is going 0-0 while missy doesn't react because this is just one of their weird little rituals. #missy will drag even over by the arm if he feels like it and start petting them like his own personal stim toy. and even will use missy to #seek out skin-to-skin contact if they think they need it because missy is there and available. #anyway. i should really be more focused here. #but im not so im going to keep rambling. this extends to the watch too. Tentoo's watch that Even keeps that the Doctor trusted them with. #that they will not let. anyone else. touch. or *see* most of the time. but the master is the main exception to that. #because she will just reach out and hold it and Even will let her. #deeply deeply weird about each other and the doctor's relationships to each other. #dw oc #ask

no one:

me: maybe if I came out as genderqueer/something under the trans umbrella to my family they would stop bringing up how they thought adding the option of "diverse" (non-binary) to applications and forms to be inclusive went "too far" and maybe my step sister's annoying ass military fiancé would shut his fucking face in general and stop making transphobic comments and I could finally experience peace and tranquillity during family dinners

me: no that's ridiculous

also me: ......unless? 🤔

#i am FED UP #i understand ro a certain degree that my parents struggle with the concept of anything more than binary genders because they're OLD OK #and german doesn't really have pronouns like they/them so we need to invent new words and it's more difficult to incorporate #into casual vocabulary and conversation for people who aren't used to the concept of neo pronouns #but my sister's fiancé told a funny haha story the other week about how he deliberately made a comment to a trans soldier #about what it says on her birth certificate???? dude i almost left the room in the middle of dinner #thinking about taking one for the team and outing myself as cisn't just so everyone will shut the fuck up lmao #would it be a lie??? idk the truth of the matter is that i don't give a shit. gender is fake and that is my truth 🙏 #rayrambles

[sunshine-luca]

yo your dick is soooo pretty. put it in me.

“Fuck, I thought were going to sleep all day,” Luca complained, crawling into the bed to flop down beside Izzy. “I was going crazy on my own.”

Izzy rolled over, already hitching her dress up. It wasn’t lost on Luca that her panties were long gone and her fingers were already glistening with arousal. His mouth salivated as she spread her thighs for him and he caught a whiff of her unique scent. “Is Ryan busy too?”

“Yeah,” Luca answered, only half paying attention to his answer. He was unflicking the buttons on his pants, ready to get them off. Shit, he should have done it before he got on the bed. It wasn't like he didn't know exactly why she summoned him. “Some meeting with Rourke and Kate that they wouldn’t let him put off any longer. Where’s Nic?”

“I’m not sure,” she sighed, tackling his pants herself when he took too long getting them off. The second her warm, slim palms found his dick, he was hard as a rock. “But he said he’d gone most of the day.” She pouted, obviously disappointed and Luca grinned.

“Oh, so that’s why you called me, huh?”

“Well, yeah. Plus,” she grabbed his cheeks in one manicured hand and squeezed his face playfully. He wrinkled his nose in protest but didn’t pull away. “I missed your stupid, cutie face." She searched his eyes. "Ryan’s been keeping you busy.”

“Not that busy,” he grunted when she finally released him. "I've always got time for you."

"Time is okay, but I really need your pretty dick right now."

He smirked, glancing down between them. His dick was pretty and it was hard and she was so wet and ready, her pussy lips puffy and swollen and just ready to be touched.

He gathered some spit in his mouth and dropped it right above her shaved mound. He loved the way she squirmed as he thumbed it into her folds. He didn’t need to bother, she was already fucking dripping but old habits died hard. “Are you even gonna be able to feel me?” he teased, pushing two fingers in to the knuckles without any resistance. Warm, wet heat. Fuck, she was so soft inside and he felt her clench. “You’re like an oil slick down here.”

She laughed then half grunted, half gasped as he drew his fingers out and dragged them a little further south. Her pussy was pretty, so slick and a warm, soft ride and Luca didn’t mind feeling her flutter around him. But it wasn't any secret there were other places he liked more.

He scooped up some of her slick and rubbed it down lower, watching her face carefully as he nudged one of his black painted fingertips into her tight ring. He braced himself, half expecting her to bitch at him he was in the wrong place but her eyes open half opened, gazing back at him wth a heavy-lidded look. Her breasts heaved with her increasingly short breaths and she held herself still, adjusting to the fingertip he held inside her.

He kissed her belly and put on his best puppy dog look. “Can I fuck your ass, Iz?”

#khakdhasdhka look i love how they're just so casual about this #feeling each other up while they're having a conversation #just using each other to get off #luca likes that they can be selfish with each other too laskjdla

@shamisense OH +++++1 HARD SAME

personally I don't mind daily or near-daily contact (since once I settle on a partner my intention long-term is to live with them and have to see them every day anyway), but even with someone I'm dating full-on text conversations every day or a constant asynchronous stream of texts with an expectation for quick reply would get exhausting for me very quickly and was one of the many reasons some of my previous relationships have been absolute nightmares for me

thankfully I think I finally may have met someone who is more my speed but I FEEL you that it's like #therearedozensofus and it's def not always easy to find

fwiw now that it's something I'm hyperaware of I've found that most dates are actually super receptive to talk about this if you just ask directly, like "how often would you prefer to text/call/meet up, and what does that look like for you in the early stages vs. a committed relationship?" it's been kind of very easy to weed out people who were obviously looking for much more frequent communication than I was tbh within like 1-2 dates

#shamisense #Reply #was literally just thinking about this actually bc coincidentally i also just had a tough conversation about this with my person #bc they mentioned kind of offland early on in the talking phase that they were Not a Good Texter™ #and even though i am like that too i had such a hard time believing them bc I've been brain poisoned by all my past relationships #so i was like No. surely if they're not initiating texts there is something wrong and they don't actually like me that much. #and also *i* must Perform Normal Texting Rituals to show that i like them back too and am putting in an effort even tho i don't want to #but after having like an actual earnest discussion with them it turns out that no they really ARE just like that and WERE serious about me #and i was making assumptions about them that were super unfair AND tiring myself out for no reason and god they were so much more #generous about it to me than i honestly deserved #so now actually texting them is much less stressful and more fun bc the pressure is off and I can just enjoy the conversation without #worrying so much about the pace! #and we also compromised by agreeing to meet in person more frequently/hang out more casually since we're getting to be a bit more serious #but yeah communication preferences are. such a huge part of compatibility that I can't IMAGINE #putting myself through another relationship where we didn't align on this

#me and my brother last night was like talking about going out to eat for lunch today #kind of casually talking about it i guess and i was like u should wake up earlier ish bc i want to eat a little earlier #bc he usually gets up at like 12:30 #but then today he just said he gave up lmao and we're not going #which shouldn't be a big deal and it's not but i'm just ugh like #i've already been thinking about so much how i want to hang out iwth him a lot more than he ever does with me #at least that's what it seems like #and i feel like i was actually like looking forward to this or something but he was just like nah whatever and doesn't rly care #he was like 'u listened to the midnight cravings of an insane man and u shouldn't have' lmfao #and like i feel like i shouldn't care but i'm like almost kind of almost almost crying bc of it lmao #anyway i haven't eaten anything bc i thought we were gonna eat somewhere and i don't feel like eating anything at this point bc #i usually eat so much earlier than this but like i should eat something lmao #and every time we hang out too i feel like i want it to last longer and i Like it more than he does idk ugh it honestly feels that way with #other friends a lot of the time they're like fine leaving at the end but i'm like desperatley wanting to hang out for longer kinda #but i have found a friend who i think shares that sentiment a little at least judging by our conversations until 5am last yr XD #and she actually reaches out to me unlike anyone else :''') idk like am i just clingy/having high standards or something honestly gjndfjhbj #or like i just like being around others a lot more than i think :[ #my brother's starting at my college too and i feel like that could be a reason for us to spend more time together or something but #at least it seems like he wouldn't want to lmao anyway #ugh the fact that i'm like i wanna hang out with him when he's younger lol but he's always off at the gym or with his other friends #other friends what other friends lmfao #anyway i need to stop i've been thinking about this shit all summer and it's probably not good for meee lol #jeanne talks

You know last week before my night class started I was chatting with this girl who sat across from me and mentioned how I was tired and could really use a cup of coffee and she goes "oh, so I guess coffee is your spirit animal?"

And I was like... no... no not really...

#she recited a few other internet one-liners to graze over it but it was weird #text post #tales from diana #not that these are at all comparable bc they're very different in nature but #kaily and i were having a conversation yesterday abt how it feels all the sudden as a white person when another white friend suddenly drops #like the ironic n-word in front of you out of nowhere. probably just to be funny most of the time. #im always like. HUH???? DO YOU EXPECT ME TO LAUGH RIGHT NOW???? #i call it out as gross but it's always unexpected and disappointing. #like not only would you use that word so brazenly. but you expect me to giggle nd laugh along and validate it? NOT the case whatsoever dude #the spirit animal thing is a different form of casual racism bc a lot of ppl don't truly know wtf a spirit animal is #they just think the words sound funny together. it's a form of hyperbole to say x is your spirit animal #especially if it's not an animal??? #remember when directioners would always joke niall was their spirit animal... *shivers* #to get back to the n word thing briefly bc i had one more thing to say #one of my friends i made recently had to drop a lot of toxic cishet white guy friends #she's a black queer latina immigrant who kinda had a tendency to want to befriend ppl she was afraid could hurt her #i didn't see this happen in front of me. but apparently they'd drop casual n words EVEN W THE HARD R in front of her and like #look to her for approval?!?!?!?!? #and she told me 'i feel bad bc they probably don't know better' (& she was naturally also very afraid of seeming 'angry' @ them) #& i was like. oh no girl. like. there's a lot of shit white guys don't know & won't teach themselves #like a lot a lot. that's not one of them though. #even if you're a white kid who grew up in a 97% white suburb (like me) you heard growing up not to use that word bc it's offensive #men who are like 30 years old and working in a multicultural educational system heavily frequented by immigrants... they SHOULD know better #that they somehow don't is embarrassing AT BEST but i know those guys & they're actually racist #that was a few months ago though since she dropped them (it was their own fault... i didn't tell her what to do but they caused this drama) #(no need to explain but someone was a COMPLETE jerk and ran away w no apologies... fuck that guy) #ive really enjoyed getting to know her and the other night she sent me a message abt how she really feels loved and accepted #by me :) and kaily and a few other ppl ive introduced her to. she's had a terrible history w friendships & relationships in this country #that made me feel very warm bc i really do love her she's a fun person to be around and talk to. we have a lot of common interests #yeah. rant turns to wholesome story in the tags to start your morning.

Pier: huh, you know, you never swear at me or insult me like you do your other friends, how come?

Effie: ? D'ye wan' me tae?

Pier: well, I don't know, it's just a bit odd that you don't talk to me that way

Effie: wh- whit'd ye wan' me tae say?

Effie: "Yer so nice fer some'dy who's a cunt" ??

Pier:

Pier: well, am I a cunt?

Effie:

Pier: see, I know you have it in you to say those types of things to me, I just find it weird that you don't when you so readily do so to others

Pier: if you're holding yourself back you don't need to is what I'm saying

Effie: naw, see a jus'.. Doesnae feel right

Effie: a dunno, a respec' ye tae much fer tha', a think

Pier: (respects me....) :)

Effie: a will say though, tha' yer a fuckin weirdo fer askin'.. why am no mean tae ye??

#gamer txt. #al ocs #kinda nonsense dialogue but i did want to write out a convo between them #pier will never get over that effie actually holds genuine trust and respect for pier. it never gets old #i think piers just not very used to having friends and is somewhat confused why you would treat one friend differently from another #(despite pier doing that. like often) #and effie is just confused why you would ask someone why they're nice to you #effies alternative answer would be something along the lines of cerys and skye being british so she's obligated to shit talk them #effie of course also being british but thats besides the point #also i dont know what tone the text comes across as but its supposed to be pretty casual like this isnt a serious conversation #pier was just a little curious
