#sits on him until he calms down

[prettyboysdontlookatexplosions]

For a horrible long moment she teetered on the edge, fighting gravity. I leaped up, racing to grab her, pull her back, somehow, save her.

But the tiger wrapped a massive arm around me and held me down.

She fell. Disappeared from sight.

<No! No! No!> I cried.

<Hang on, Marco>, Jake said. <Hang on, man. Hang on, man.>

He held me that way, pinned down. The strength of his tiger morph made my own strength insignificant.

<Hang on, Marco. Hang on, man.>

Dimly, as though I was watching it on an out-of-focus TV, I was aware that battle raged on the opposite peak.

[...]

In the sky a battle raged between the Empire ship and the Blade ship with its fighters. Not my problem anymore.

Nothing was my problem. All I had to do was listen to the voice in my head saying, <Hold on, Marco. Hold on, man. Hold on.>

like if k. a. applegate didn't want me to be a crazy person about this maybe she should have written a different fucking book!!!!

#marco's like 'it was the worst moment of my life but luckily my best friend was there to wrestle me to the ground until i dissociated #HELLO?????????? #when people talk about 'how was animorphs for kids' they always talk about like the violence and moral dilemmas and shit #but for me it's these character things where i'm like... who let you do this.... why..... (thank you... but also oh my god....) #animorphs #'the strength of his tiger morph made my own strength insignificant' makes me insane sorry #literally like taking away someone's agency as a show of love because your love language as a duo is winning the war #this is also a reverse of the scene in book one where marco tells jake tom is a controller and jake tries to hit him and marco just like #sits on him until he calms down #which itself is like not physically but metaphorically echoed by the plot of book 31.... agh

Can't believe Satoru had asked Suguru "should we kill these guys" and at the time Suguru was his moral compass.

Then when he loses that moral compass, Satoru was about to Hollow Purple a whole street of people just to attack Suguru.

#like my guy calm down #in front of kfc? you're doing this here? #suguru really had him screaming shouting clenching his fist until it bleed and maybe he had been holding Suguru's button #acting like a fool in public #not wearing his glasses #had him sitting all depressed #like okay wow #it was indeed tragic #just kiya's thoughts #jjk #jujutsu kaisen #gojo satoru #satoru gojo #geto suguru #suguru geto #satosugu #stsg #sugusato #goge #gego

They finally did it… they sent him to horny jail

#this part is actually cute.. awful secondhand embarrassment but he and his friend are so cutely awkwardly sitting there while That happens #james spader #alan shore #boston legal #* #thinking about being held in contempt with him. sitting in a jail cell for a few hours until the judge he mocked calms down #on the bench side-by-side or feet-to-feet staring at each other. ignoring the awkwardness of the senator and his wife #cringing into the wall as they fight. exchanging glances squeezing hands. whispering little distractions #so nice to just exist alongside him. so fun to have a friend like him. little shenanigans. he can always fix things always make it okay

the fact that Dean is so gentle sometimes and so terrifyingly violent others is what is so compelling about him to me.

#(thinks about dean hugging Charlie in nearly every episode she’s in. and also about him breaking her arm and nearly killing her.) #dean winchester #spn #it really is like. he doesn’t have a dividing line between the two you know? #that what decides how he responds is not ‘is this going to hurt someone’ but ‘how in control of this situation do I feel’ #and if the answer is that he doesn’t then he gets violent until he does. and then he gets calm and gentle again. #and just!!! would have been fucking fascinating for the mark of Cain to focus on that!!!! that part of him!!!! #sure his random murders (what little there are) are neat and all but where is the Dean Winchester who will tell his brother to sit down and #eat the dinner dean cooked for him or else he’ll smash his head in. he made Sam’s favorite <3 either eat it or he’s getting a hammer. #mark of Cain dean should have had his control issues on steroids honestly

macaque is the kind of person who acts all dramatic when he realizes he has feelings for someone. like i know he made it a whole big deal when he realized he still had feelings for wukong and i can imagine him pacing around his dojo like "fuck ! damnit ! i cant believe this !" and the shadows are just watching him like "...🤨"

#🏮 #shadowpeach #macaque groans and grunts about it only to findhimself smiling over the thought of wukong the moment hes calm enough #he finally sits down after his outburst and is all giggly thinking about wukongs stupid face #the initial disgust blows over and hes in bedkicking his feet and wagging his tail #uses annoying wukong has an excuse to see him more and wukong is incredibly confused why the fighting and arguing is turning #into petty little squabbles and teasing #macaques not subtle at ALL but wukong is oblivious even after everything so #dude never finds out about macs feelings until either mac stumbles and says it out loud by accident or mk points it out #lego monkie kid #lmk macaque #lmk wukong

Tannis can you send your weird thing out of the room?

What? D0G? No he's perfectly fine. He's in a powered down state right now anyway. In no way is he going to hinder or stop our conversation. Besides, he's holding half of my equipment right now since the Vault Hunter has decided to take up residency in the medical bay

Not fixing this sketch up you're gonna look at it as is

#mart #Hes just A Real Human Being. Hes been experimented on by Tannis and the gang has a hunch he was an ex Hyperion project but Dog doesn't Talk #about his past prior to what he refers to as 'Tannis turning me back on. Whole reboot.' #His ''mask'' has what looks like hinges and you'd think it opens up. No one has tried. Gloved (?) hands. Can hack into stuff very easily. Vo #ice gets distorted every so often. Glitchy. Under the bandana is a turtleneck. No. Dont ask how that works. #Anywhere Tannis pops off to he follows. She found it annoying at first but he also just stands there and lets her talk so like its fine #She's tried taking blood samples and Dog bleeds but the blood brings up Nothing. It's forced system reboots or bricks what she uses. #'Interestingly Eridium seems to calm him down. If given slowly. Too much at once and it's like blowing a fuse.' #Fights exclusively with a slag weapon and a corrosive one! #And needless to say? When shes grabbed by the twins well. Sanctuary can hear that scream #(He's genuinely a problem at that point. No controlling no talking to him. Lilith and co. are doing all they can before I think honestly th #ey just either dump him or lock him into a room until they can get better intel on Tannis. Dog of course isn't gonna sit. He's gotta go save #her) #gu4rd-d0g #will I EVER talk more on this? god probably not. twas fun doodling

So I was stuck in traffic today and I decided to give my cuz’n a call ….

#her 2yr old son answered the phone - exasperated #he just kept saying ‘where are you?’ #and my cuz took the phone and said ‘your ears must have been on fire’ #and im just asking is everything ok? whats going on? and thats when she tells me #a story that got me so choked up i had to pull over: #so it turns out she was out grocery shopping with her son and he insisted on carrying her reusable grocery bag #but he is only 2 and the bag is almost bigger than him and its completely full #but he insists - so my cuz sits the bag down and lets him try thinking he will give up when he sees its too heavy #and he was trying and trying but the bag hardly moved and when his mom offered to take some items out he got upset #saying he could do it. so hes on the verge of a meltdown bc the bag isnt really moving that much #and she said he just sat there next to the bag and she is watching his little mind trying to problem solve it #and all of a sudden he goes - ‘uncle odin help me!’ #and my cuzn tells him im not there but he just gets louder and louder calling for me to come and help him 😢 #and out of desperation she gave him her phone to pacify him - and right at that moment was when i happened to call #and as im pulled over on the side of the road and she is telling me all this i can hear him asking where am i and how long until im there #and there i was stuck on the i-4 interchange about an hour away wishing i had a flying car or sum #but i was able to calm him down and told him to let his mom carry it *this* time #and next time i would try to be there to help him #i felt so honored that *eye* was the 1st thought he had for help #i dont see them that often - maybe once every other week or so? #anyway ….. dont let anyone tell u that men dont have biological clocks too #bc its been a long time since i felt such an intense urge to be a baby daddy #gotta hurry up and find mrs right now tho - im 2 yrs away from 40 #if i wait too much longer ​any games of catch gon be played in a nursing home - lol

Mental health and physical benefits aside, the best part of the gym is just that sometimes you gotta go lift heavy things until it aches because it's either that or have a huge ass fight with ur father because he won't stop with his negativity and his GODAWFUL opinions on unions

tagged to run this quiz for my horrible children, so thank you @impossible-rat-babies for this unsurprising result, lmao.

tags for @heycollage, @rumils, and @pearl-kite, if u would like them!

just ilya, since he's the brainworms lately -

[ love as bloodshed, crimson as a knife slipped between your ribs ] when ocean vuong said "to arrive at love, then, is to arrive through obliteration" and when franz kafka said "you are the knife i turn inside myself; that is love" and when ada limon said "how do you love? like a fist. like a knife" and when richard siken said "sorry about the blood in your mouth. i wish it was mine"

#lol lmao even #i DID take this seriously i AM that predictable #what i think love for ilya is actually: someone sits on him until he calms down #when all you think youve known is violence and all you think youre good for is violence and your hands and your heart dont know how to want #anything else #until even gentleness FEELS like violence #yikes bud. #.... for posterity #xiv blogging #ch: ilya

im so proud of sadie for doing well on her first day of school <333 her lil nail polish !!!

she's so brave ;-; mikaela is proud too, just a little sad at the same time... and you can thank olivia for the nail polish – she's the only one with enough free time to painstakingly paint sadie's nails in five different colors AND get her to sit still long enough to let them dry sjdksjd

#my mom actually worked at my school during my first year so i have no idea how i would've reacted to her leaving #but i do know that when my brother started kindergarten he was sooooo distraught #and the teacher actually called MY teacher to ask if she would send me down to the kindergarten classroom #and sit with him until he calmed down ;-; #i did that every year until middle school #stop why am i getting emotional 😭 i love my brother so much #asks #anonymous #nonsims #brandi answers

I’m so tired.

These past few days I’ve been so angry and despondant and depressed. But now I’m just... so desperately sad. It hurts. All I want is to be treated with kindness and tenderness.

Last year my partner and best friend for many years dumped me for someone else, a mutual friend at the time. And I bent over backwards to accomodate both of them and be as kind as I was able to be. I agreed to let her live with us because living with her mum was bad for her mental health. She was volatile and abusive to my ex and constantly self-harming and attempting suicide which was deeply triggering. Still, I did everything I could to help and if I ever felt like I couldn’t be kind to her, I’d leave and come back when I was feeling more generous.

I asked my ex to move out. When they still hadn’t found a place, months later, I asked him to lower his standards and start looking at houseshares because it was so bad for my wellbeing to have them both here.

Eventually her behaviour got so bad I couldn’t do it anymore and I put my foot down and kicked her out. The one boundary I had ever asserted throughout this whole shitshow, and my ex asked me not to. When I refused he said I was being cruel.

He moved out with her to his mum’s. I said they could come back to stay occasionally overnight if they were seeing friends in Cardiff. Soon that became them turning up unannounced, often in the early hours of the morning, every other week, almost always shouting at each other. When I told him it wasn’t acceptable, he didn’t see the issue and objected to her not being allowed in the house.

Neither of them believed me when I said others also didn’t want her there and it wasn’t until others confirmed this that they actually took it seriously. My wellbeing didn’t matter to either of them. My inability to cope with her being in the hosue was irrelevant, because he wanted to be able to come back and bring her with him whenever he wanted.

Recently he took our cat, who I’ve been looking after since the breakup (long before he moved out) for a week. Then he announced he was keeping the cat for another week. He told me he’s keeping the cat and we’re approaching three weeks and there’s no sign he’s ever going to give him back. He’s not replied to my messages (which he almost never does anyway).

I’m just so tired. I was so angry but now I’m just... hurt. I tried. I really tried to be kind and empathetic throughout all this. I really tried to see the Holy in everyone, even those who are hurting me. I really tried to hold space for other people’s pain even though I was suicidal myself. Even though, at every opportunity, it was made clear to me that my wellbeing was never a priority for my ex, I tried to still be polite and compassionate.

Still, he somehow feels jaded and wronged by me. Still, he’s acting as though I’m being unreasonable for wanting to keep the cat I’ve cared for almost single-handedly for over a year.

I just want to be treated with some compassion and tenderness. Is that too much to ask?

#even if he'd left me for someone who was wonderful it would be hurtful enough #but i treated him with so much patience and kindness #i never shouted at him. ever. #every time i was angry #i'd take time to calm down and process until i was ready to calmly and compassionately talk through why i was upset #i had so much patience #even when he'd shout and throw things or slam things when he was stressed #i encouraged him - i BEGGED him to go to therapy #i saved up money for him to go to therapy so the cost wasn't an issue #(he gave it to her) #she yells at him over the tiniest things #she treats him like dirt #she told him it was his fault when she tried to kill herself #she told him to sit on the floor instead of the chair #she expects him to wait on her hand and foot #she demands things of him instead of asking in kindness #he asked me to talk to her when she was being verbally abusive to him because he knew she wouldn't hear it if he voiced any objection #and tha'ts what he left me for? #that's what he wants? #personal #ignore me #text post

None of my silverfin folks are Good, per se- they kill and maim and indulge killing and hurting and a number of them eat that which remains, in the right context. But also they’re friends, u see, and they can be so kind in spite of that. Given the right circumstances.

#lays here and thinks about marrow holding dexter so close and hesitating to let anyone but peipre close #thinks about how peipre does her best to sit and comfort someone that’s too distressed in the area- a casino can be overwhelming after all. #thinks about how phenga holds peipre and yarrow in her arms like she can smooth away the harsh edges of the world. even for just a moment #phenga going to Orion as he gets off work. taking his arm in her own and guiding xem in the late hours of the morning to eat and then to a #room. he doesn’t know her name but that’s the game of it. but somewhere along the line it became more than just a game. she’s so so very in #love with that teal and anybody that sees them at dinner can see it #silverfin putting new rules into place the instant they hear about how marrow almost got killed. it takes a while to work out the kinks in #the new routine but they saw the lines under phenga’s eyes in the nights after and they saw how peipre’s hands shook and they may not be #able to do much but they have to do something to try and keep it from happening again. #yarrow pulling silverfin aside to tell them that she saw their descendant. that she didn’t meet him very well but he exists. that she met #his captain and he’s okay. that silverfin didn’t condemn some poor grub by being in love #peipre leaning to just rest her arm agains marrow’s when he starts getting a bit too tense. a small reminder that she’s here- that if #everything goes wrong he doesn’t have to take it on alone. and sometimes that light contact is enough. #peipre giving dexter a hug and squeezing him tight for a moment. because as much as she tries to prepare there are some things she’s not #sure quite how to say. and maybe if she tries hard enough she can show him anyhow. #yarrow pulling peipre away from work when things start to get to her too much. making her take a moment to just let herself breathe. often #yarrow matches her breathing until she’s calmed down because peipre pats more attention to someone else than herself in times like that #lays facedown on the floor thinking abt these bitches being nice #silverfin casino #peipre #peipre charme #gotta go add that to all her posts sometime #marrow dahlia #khalia yarrow #dibsym argent #silverfin #miss #phenga arionn #Orion pulsar

i've gotta stop doing this to myself

#genuinely i don't know if i'll ever be okay with never having closure. i keep going back again and again after these long stretches of calm #and i feel crazy for doing it. memorialized in a series of photos in a museum. i can't even look at the pictures and letters but i can look #at the carefully placed tables and the blown up woven piece of a polaroid i sent. my hand right there pulling back the curtain looking down #at my old street in brooklyn. my handwriting. the birthday card i sent. attachment love. all of it. and then what? #and then i just sit here and think it was two years ago now. and despite all that's changed i'm still me. still grieving. still angry. stil #sedated and still moving along a day at a time. #whenever my mind wanders back to it all i just feel so fucking angry and sad that he did that to me. and there's a part of me that still #fully hates myself for giving into what he wanted. after months of hounding with emotional abuse and unpredictable moods #and then it didn't even end. it didn't end until i broke up with him. so what was the fucking point. #and i know i need to show myself grace. i know. but still. it all happened and i was at the wheel.
