andrew’s definitely gotten in trouble with his pr manager for tweeting things along the lines of:

“no mania inducing medication will compare to the euphoria i will feel the day donald trump drops dead”

#pr manager is like: andrew… this is the last time i’m gonna tell you #andrew: whats the point of democracy if i can’t exercise freedom of speech #pr manager: andrew it’s no longer about your image #at this point we are concerned the fbi is going to show up #andrew: neil has connections. i’m fine #they thought marketing andrew on social media would be good #they were sooooo wrong #because now andrew has a place to share every insane thing he’s ever thought #for instance—a tweet that just says ‘an alien googling: human clothes’ #he’s on there advocating for lgbtq+ youth you KNOW HE IS #he’s cursing and mildly threatening members of congress for imposing these disgusting bills #one day he tweeted ‘does mitch mcconnell know he’s dead yet’ #when mitch mcconnell stepped down from senate andrew tweeted ‘hopefully next he steps down from life’ #unsurprisingly: this endears him to some people and makes others fucking hate him #and he’s such a shit. he does not care either way #he’s kind of just like: pr manager. you gave me a twitter and told me to tweet. i’m just doing what you asked me #they’ve threatened to change his password so many times #they actually did once but andrew reported the account so many times for defamation and fraud that it got suspended #and he made a new account out of pure spite #his pr manager is like: andrew nobody is going to want to sign you because of your public image #and andrew is like: ?? ok. they can lose every game then #(he knows he’s the best goalie) #ok i think that’s enough for now. however i will probably be back #andrew minyard #aftg #tfc #trk #tkm #the foxhole court #all for the game

SUNA + THE FIRST TIME HE SAYS I LOVE YOU

send in a character + trope for a blurb

...

you should've been asleep. you're always asleep before him, so why would this time be any different?

suna knows the drill like the back of his hand by now. you fight off your inevitable slumber as hard as you can, trying to stay awake for no good reason until you eventually ignore his annoyances and succumb to sleep.

tonight shouldn’t have been any different.

"hey," a finger prods against your cheek, testing the waters.

when a groan bubbles from your throat but your eyes remain closed, suna knows you’re at the ‘barely hanging on to consciousness’ stage of your sleep schedule. he uses a hand to gently squeeze your cheeks together.

“stop.”

it comes out slightly muffled by your squished lips. he huffs a laugh through his nose, “what?"

you groan into the pillow, escaping his loose grasp.

"go to sleep," he whispers, and though you can’t see him, you can practically hear the menacing grin on his face through his tease.

if your eyes were open, you’d roll them. "i’m trying to."

and it’s routine, comforting to the two of you. suna waits there in the dark, like he always does, until your breathing evens out and replicates the deep inhales of when he knows you’re out for good.

he brings his finger back up to your face, but this time, instead of poking your cheek with the incentive of aggravating you, he runs it softly across your cheekbone and then down your jawline with purpose. he’s sure to notice how your eyelids don’t flicker at the sudden touch, how your breathing never hitches with his lingering fingers.

you’re asleep by his side. and just like that, vulnerability oozes from suna’s core.

so he mans up in the most pathetic way possible and presses a kiss to your head. between the space of skin and lips comes a muffled whisper that he’s been dying to say for ages now, but hasn’t quite found the courage to say clearly. 

"i love you."

it’s quiet for a moment, not a sound filling the room beside the air conditioner rattling in the window. and while suna plans to continue caressing your face, he freezes when he feels the smile growing beneath his fingertips. 

you open a single eye groggily, voice raspy when you perk up with a teasing, "what'd you say?"

"nothing," he responds quickly, trying his best to defuse the situation while simultaneously not making a big deal out of it. "you're hallucinating, go back to sleep."

"i was sleeping,” you continue to press, “but i heard something weird."

suna grimaces at your choice of vocabulary before grounding himself in your light tone. you’re not angry or upset, at least not enough for him to hear it in your voice. so he slowly eases himself back onto his pillow. 

"if you heard something, which you definitely didn't," he enunciates, "i don't think it was something weird."

"well if wasn't weird, then what was it?"

through the darkness of the bedroom, he can just barely make out your hopeful eyes, and he can imagine the giddy smile on your pretty face, so he exhales and swallows his pride.

"true," he admits, before hissing out in defeat, "and fucking embarrassing."

your laughter warms the bed and suna feels like he’s floating.

"true and embarrassing," you repeat through sleepy giggles, "just how i like 'em,"

his face is flushed as it hides in his pillow. "are you done making fun of me yet?"

he hears you shuffle in closer before he feels your breath on his arm.

"i will be if you say it again now that i'm awake," you barter.

"technically you were awake the first time i said it."

"rintaro," you whine, and when he doesn't give in so easily, you elaborate. "now that you know that i'm awake."

a bit more confident in his conviction, he brings his hand up once more to find your cheek. 

"i said i love you," he whispers, "like an idiot."

your laughter returns, and when you wrap your arms around his torso and press your nose in the crook of his neck, he can practically feel it warming his bones.

you place a kiss to his neck with a sigh of victory, "that's what i thought.”

a few minutes eventually pass in his hold, and suna would say you have to be asleep now, but he’s learned his lesson the hard way and isn’t one to make the same mistake twice.

and he’s glad because right before he drifts off himself, he feels your head rise from his chest and a gentle kiss placed on his chapped lips.

"i love you, too,” you press into his mouth like a secret, “idiot."

#using this little request game as a writing exercise #not everything needs to be edited and perfect! i can also do short and sweet! #she tries to tell herself #this is still a bit too long for my goal blurb length #but fuck it we ball #cass u really did me in with this one i hate him #suna x you #suna x reader #suna blurb #suna fluff #suna rintaro x you #suna rintaro x reader #suna haikyuu #hq suna rintaro

a great advice for when you are afraid that your oc is too similar to a canonical character is to Take your oc and dump them directly into the place of the canon character to see how They'd react to the situations. they react too similarly for your tastes? edit them up.

example: it was worrying me quite a lot that Zephyr might be too similar to Moon. both an old female ("female"... it's supersized microwaves how female could it be /j) Gen 1 iterator that is the senior of her group that collapses and her absence seems to somehow both affect a lot and not at all the rest of the group, both are relatively kind as evidenced by their interactions with slugcats. alright, that's really similar- don't feckin like that! but big part of that is the inevitable fate of all iterators (all will one day collapse). you could call it a trope, cliché. tropes and clichés are tools for the story to take a root somewhere and then the characters themselves help develop it in an unique way

"okay, so i'm going to throw Zephyr into Moon's situation and compare how both of them (would in Zeph's case) deal with it to see if their personalities are too much the same." i say to myself result:

Key Element Discovered: Moon Does Not Possess The Will To Utilize La Chancla Within Five Seconds Of Being Confronted With A Bitchy Child. Let Us Build Off From That

#Spot says stuff #rw #oc tag #Abet 'fuck them kids' Zephyr #JLSKDJGLKS róba z Moravy... #zephyr has the fuckin vibes of 'whos that-? who are you! whats that. put that down!!!!! whats that over there-? Dont Do That.' #zephs on TOP of shit wanna know what collapsed her? fuckin Herself. she just said 'aight we goin down today boys cheers' and she WENT 🛬 #see and there u go. developed woman in under five tags n one exercise

[autistic-katara]

when ur family’s discussing politics and u have to resist the urge to say that we should riot

#bcz i mean why SHOULDNT we riot against the english exercising their rights to fuck us over and then not letting us leave #bcz fuck those guys #and we’re all in agreement that those fuckers down south should not be doing that #buuuut i can’t just say that we should riot bcz idk if they’d go that far 💔 #ryan shut the fuck up

more of nandor the big orange cat

#wwdits #what we do in the shadows #nandor #nandor the relentless #b/c fuck if i didn't spend a nightmare of a time looking for lion pics that resemble kayvan novak y'all are going to look at them damn it #there's this acting exercise where you play your character but as an animal that you think they embody #and im pretty sure kayvan does this with nandor sometimes #also found out there is a difference between an african lion and an asiatic (persian) lion #so i tried for all these being persian lions b/c obvious reasons

gifmakers the minute an episode of the sign wraps up

Honestly I love goldens they are like the white bread of dog breeds. Basic bitch (complimentary)

NO NO, SAY IT, UR NOT WRONG!!! there's a reason why they're literally the Basic Upperclass White People Dog. the Two Kids And An InGround Pool Dog. They're the AP flour of dog. They become the shape of whatever mold you put them in.

#And usually that mold is simply “the family's best buddy” #they're SOOO basic I think that's what I like. they're so quintessential Dog. #they really are just whatever you need them to be bc they're so people-pleasing by DEFAULT #like yes I trained hugo and he gets exercise and play and I run his tricks with him to make sure he doesn't forget them #but Hugo is a lazy little couch boy. a hanging out while I work at my desk dog. a going on lots of road trips dog. #but goldens can be super athletic too... hiking partners or agility competitors #and we already know they can do Jobs. everyone always asks if Hugo's a service dog bc they just associate the breed with being a working do #sergle answers #GOD I wish I was middle-upper-class with an in-ground pool... hugo would LOVE a pool.............

tease tidbit tuesday ⛈

hi pals, i've got a bad case of acid reflux but i'm getting a haircut today AND applying for a new job, too, so wish me luck

decided to title the fic dealing with eddie's trauma from the lightning strike like a cat in the rain and i think it'll be finished tomorrow, fingers crossed

Drawing his brows together, Buck says, “Well, yeah. I’m not invincible, Eddie.” He shrugs. “You told me that.”  “Expendable,” Eddie corrects, sharper than he’s been since the first few shifts they shared. The asperity in his gaze is just as cunning, just as unsettling. “I said you weren’t expendable.”

#before i apply for the job i have to get a haircut. get my kid a haircut. get rid of this acid reflux. take 2 more tests to certify myself. #make an airbnb account. watch 4/5 episodes of lethal weapon. put the rest of my clothes away. set up some exercises. EAT? #anyway we love shoveling everything into 2 days off of work teehee #but this fic? god this fic isn't something i usually create but it's okay! i like it! i hope you guys do too! #tag games

it's interesting to see people getting into tlt because i do think you're either gonna get through gtn and go on to htn or you're not. and then once you get to htn you're either going to stop reading out of confusion or you're gonna trust that you eventually won't be confused.

but also it's funny to see people be like "tlt doesn't take itself seriously," after only having read gtn.

like, no. that's just gideon's narrative voice. gideon doesn't take things seriously and it's a coping mechanism for her. however, that only really becomes apparent after reading htn and ntn because the narration and tone of the story changes so much between each book.

muir, for better or worse, is just really committed to writing from the pov we're currently in.

#that's why gtn is the way that it is tbh #you're reading from the pov of a sheltered girl who's main pastime was essentially reading playboy and exercising lmao #and i think it's only really effective because we do change pov throughout the series #i honestly don't think i'd like tlt if it was only written from gideon's pov #for me gideon's pov is only interesting in retrospect once i understood more about the world and about her character #what got me through gtn was everything going on around gideon rather than gideon herself #the locked tomb

this was supposed to be a PRACTICE comic to test different layout and paneling composition but it turned out to be a bit heavier lol, I did get a lot of do's and donts about paneling tho. the story itself is about immortality and death and long life.

#cw gore #cw blood #cw organs #i did a long self-analysis after so this was a good exercise #gonna be useful also for college since we are going to do a lot of composition stuff #this is kinda my brainworms on kakuzus attachment to money since money doesnt decay or leave you behind #kakuhida #my art #cw death #theres also like musings that kakuzu is not a fan of hidan dying over and over again

The most terrifying question a person with tummy troubles can get: what food can you eat?

All thoughts immediately leave my head. What? No food. Don’t do that. Me, my food? You’ve probably never heard of it. You don’t want me to answer that. I’m moving to Antarctica.

#short answer: no garlic onion gluten or high fructose corn syrup #long answer: you don’t want the long answer. i don’t even want it. you’d have to become an amateur dietician to even get the gist of it #you’d need to pay for an app. and memorize a bunch of stuff and amounts #you’d have to read every label on everything. ​you’d have to learn that the FDA and the USDA have different rules for listing ingredients #do you want to know what a galacto-oligosaccharide is? do you really? #there aren’t even good infographics about it they’re all terrible #please just tell me where you want to get dinner so i can check the menu #please just ask me ‘hey what chips do you want’ or ‘where can i find a spice mix that works for you?’ #those have simple answers #‘what food can you have’ does not have a simple answer #i love that we’re humans and we show love through food but consider: #loving me through food is an exercise that requires in depth research and dedication or i will be up all night vomitting and shitting myself #sepulchritudinous #fodmap stuff

I do wanna say re: Silver Backstory and my rec list and my tendency to poke and prod and explore where he may have come from--

That's not me saying that the way his character is presented in the canon *needs* that, at ALL.

First off, the speech on the cliffs, the Solomon Little stories, the complete inability to share?

It's perfect for the character, as well as an absolutely jaw-dropping ballsy as hell decision to make a prequel/adaptation about the most famous pirate figure in Western media and simply... refuse to define him in those terms the way we've seen the other main characters. It's such a ballsy and brilliant move that sometimes I stare at the wall thinking about what they have done and just, god I hope one day I can write something that great. I could go on about that but it's not my main point.

Second off, many ppl have said that the point is that the story of Black Sails itself *becomes* his origin, and in many ways that is absolutely true and I agree.

However, I also wanna point out that the acting and the writing reflect all the information we would ever need to know about John Silver even if he cannot bear to speak it in specifics.

in 4.9, Silver says:

“I have no story to tell. It all might seem as though I’m trying to conceal something from you, but… truth is, there is no story to tell. ... Not unremarkable, just…without relevance. A long time ago, I absolved myself from the obligation of finding any. No need to account for all my life’s events in the context of a story that somehow…defines me. Events, some of which, no one could divine any meaning from…other than that the world is a place of unending horrors. I’ve come to peace with the knowledge…that there is no storyteller imposing any coherence, nor sense, nor grace upon those events. Therefore, there’s no duty on my part to search for it. You know of me all I can bear to be known. All that is relevant to be known."

"Other Than That The World Is A Place Of Unending Horrors."

Now, coming at this as someone with my own fucked up trauma, that one sentence coupled with the performance from Luke really tells us everything we need to know.

So yeah, in a way it both does and doesn't matter that we don't get his history wrapped up in a pretty package, both bc it's NEVER THAT SIMPLE, and bc his REACTIONS to events/ppl are... so VERY clearly the reactions of someone who has been deeply traumatized. We don't NEED to know for the story and character to work EXACTLY as intended.

We can see him, we the audience. If you pay attention, he is not some mystery at all. We may not know exactly what happened to him, but also, we do... don't we?

#i rambled a bit here but like... #it's perfect it doesn't NEED an explanation it's all already on page #what we choose to extrapolate can be a fascinating exercise and I personally love doing so #but he is the quintessential survivor he eschews being known or human attachments bc THAT'S HOW YOU GET HURT AND DIE #he has never been treated well he has never had anything #he's only had the scrape for survival #he either lost ppl very early or he's literally never had anyone but regardless #SOMETHING happened to give him some textbook PTSD #and he's literally 40 trauma responses in a trenchcoat #he doesn't act rationally #yeah I rambled more #I just have a lot of feelings about John Silver #put that on my grave lol #john silver #black sails #black sails meta #thoughts

Well, vet couldn’t feel anything concerning, but he is very tight muscle wise on the leg of concern. He has two more weeks mandated rest from high octane activities, some anti inflammatory meds, and a schedule of daily stretching and massage. We think he may have just pulled something.

#dogblr #alaskan malamute #dog #canine #sigurd #dog photography #a bit relieved but if it’s not resolved with these methods vet said xray is next #he’s not in any visible pain when touched #but he IS being a pain in the ass from lack of mileage #I love him tho he was very good #we usually do stretches and leg rotation exercises with the dogs after runs #but he is to get them daily rn

[gideonisms]

latest unhinged work event is that my boss has started gathering us all around at 5:30 in the AM to do group exercises...tbh I really enjoy exercising on my own time, have never had trouble staying active, and have no negative associations with group exercise IT'S THE PRINCIPLE OF MY BOSS TELLING ME TO DO JUMPING JACKS

#imagine if i did have any past bad experiences surrounding exercising with others! #imagine being reminded of like a horrible gym teacher from 6th grade every 5:30 AM #this seems like a violation of if not the letter of some type of workplace regulation then at least the spirit of it?? #yesterday because a client visited she said we couldn't have coffee. it was 6 AM you know when the client arrived?? 11 ♥️ #i am going to be so honest. she is lucky the uncaffeinated version of me decided against violence #anyways i asked to switch to the evening shift so at least if this is the type of thing we do here i'll be awake to deal with it jfjvjbjbbn
