In a long relationship, you learn exactly what to do to get each other off. It becomes mechanical. But you also learn exactly what to do to enrage each other. It becomes mechanical. The pleasures of a long relationship are the things that you never quite learn about the other—the ways in which you remain strangers.

Instead of pathologizing every human quirk, we should say, 'By the grace of this behavior, this individual has found it possible to continue.

"The trouble with comparing yourself to others is that there are too many others. Using all others as your control group, all your worst fears and all your fondest hopes are at once true. You are good; you are bad; you are abnormal; you are just like everyone else."

"Wait, you've, ah, been with Izzy?" Stede repeats. Ed stops, cocks his head.

"Yeah?" he says. "I thought you knew this. We talked about it."

"No!" Stede insists. "We talked about how he has feelings for you."

"I don't," Izzy interrupts, and regrets it immediately when Stede and Ed both snap their heads around to look at him. He'd had a perfect opportunity there to disappear. "Have feelings..." Both Captains give him the most pityingly doubtful look he's ever seen, and then turn back to each other without otherwise acknowledging what he's said.

"I knew about his feelings for you," Stede reiterates, growing visibly frustrated when Ed rolls his eyes. "I didn't know you'd been with him. Do you have feelings for him too?"

Ed shrugs. "I dunno."

"You don't know," Stede repeats, and at his tone Izzy does start edging toward the door. "We'll I suppose then you'll just have to figure it out! I'll make tea. Izzy, sit down."

Izzy sits. Izzy stands. "I want no part in this," he says. "And mediating your fucking domestic disputes is bloody well not in my job description."

"Sit," Ed and Stede demand in perfect, eerie, unison. They have the same depth of command in their voices, and - disquietingly so - the same steel in their eyes.

Izzy sits.

The Dark Urge-typical r@pe/noncon mention (not positive) but one thing about me is I can't do an afab durge playthrough because it makes all the weird bhaalspawn breeding cattle shit from the cut epilogues/canon refuse-bhaal epilogue simply too fucked up for me. It's one thing to be like. Puppeted into fucking a gnoll or a relative it's another to also be forced to carry and birth its mutant/inc3st child.

#all my durges are amab. and also tops #and even if it wasnt fuck gross having ur prized breeder also be the carrier is inefficient. so bhaal probably wouldn't do it #+ if durge is theoretically 100% bhaal genes then they wouldn't have the available DNA for afab anatomy #but its also fantasy magic so that argument is less compelling than just efficiency #not to say that afab durges are bad bc ik for most people its a complete origin like tav and thus to some degree self-insert #but i cant do it so i made up justifications #amabs can create like 300 spawn in a year and afabs can create 1 (or like. twins) and maybe also die during it #so to me its just unlikely they'd be afab if durge is meant to be the perfectly-designed complete bhaalspawn #since I think sceleritas mentions that creating the next gen is also part of their duties or whatever #bg3 #the dark urge #durge #SA tw

300 Follower Special: Whump Collaborative Storytelling

NOTE: Make sure you read the RULES here before you participate if you haven't already! If you have any questions, DM me, send an ask, etc!

Without further ado... let's start!

TWS: slight cursing.

Whumpee sighed as they walked down the street. They had no idea how long they were out here, since they had that fight with Caretaker. But they wanted to get away from that place to cool off. To stop thinking about it before they returned home.

They shook their head, trying to get rid of the burning words Caretaker had said to them.

"You're so ungrateful!"

"You're such an asshole!"

"You always take and no give!"

Shut up, shut up, shut up! They pounded their head gently to get rid of those words. Caretaker was wrong in this. They had no reason to yell at Whumpee. One minute, they were fine with them. The next, they were yelling at them. What in the world had happened?

No, that's enough.

Whumpee was so focused, they didn't hear something--or was it someone?--behind them...

very funny and totally not infuriating at all when there is a man tagged on my post about misogyny in fandom. this is not about him.

#twist rambles #at least first really annoying tag in like nearly 300 notes. but good god. can u not be like ermmm well the transmisogynistic joke nature o #his character makes him count. i hope you die. #im not getting into a petty argument w op but know i am frustrated abt it. like are you fucking serious that u are completely unable to #recognize the transmisogyny in this fucking character. oh my godddd

[upperranktwo]

I think people should send me silly little asks/talk to me/tell me about their day whilst I do studying!

#sky rambles ♡ #taken me a week to write my argument for this discussion we're doing. suppose to have a minimum of 300 words and i'vs done 900 😭

Why do you give pariahcontinuum a platform despite the numerous reports of sexual harassment by him in multiple fandoms

Well for starters, because this is the first time I've heard anything about that. Do you have, like, a source or something?

#ask #(I also think it's kinda silly to call my Tumblr blog with 300-odd followers a platform but let's ignore that philosophical argument) #(also I'm not sure when the last time I reblogged anything by pariahcontinuum was? we're not even mutuals or anything)

first, gonna start using #school tag to talk about my classes since the semester is kicking up a bit, so feel free to block that. SECOND I deplore word counts. How do you expect me to accurately sum up the relationships between economy and environment in 300 words. That's not a thing you can do. I cannot accurately explore the economic versus environmental pros and cons of fair trade textile practices in bangladesh in 300 words.

#school tag #I don't need help though. i'm doing okay i just tend to go way over word count #but MAYBE IF THE WORD COUNT WAS MORE THAN LIKE EIGHT WORDS THEN IT WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE #like genuinely how do I have intelligent discussion of topics in so little space. #how am I expected to explore how each action can cause rippling effects that can then in turn affect the pros and cons on a long term level #in literally not even a single page #it also says to find 2 sources!!! which like. I can do that! #but each source has things I want to talk about and has topics that contribute to my argument #and i cannot condense two sources worth of information into 300 words #whatever. i'm changing tactics entirely for this and seeing if taking another approach to asnwering will be more concise.

My professor neglected to put an upper word count limit for the two essays I had due tonight, and I am a master procrastinator with a bad habit of over-writing and no time to edit properly.

Please enjoy my “300+ words” homework assignment that clocked in at 702 words, and my “600+ words” mini research paper which reached 860 words. Yes the word count on both was higher than the larger minimum. Yes I started actually physically writing words at around 8:30pm and submitted the second paper at 11:53pm. Yes both papers would have been better if I hadn’t done this. No I will not learn from my mistakes.

#Ma’am you know that I had to get an extension on my final last semester because I was 1000 words OVER the maximum #If you really wanted me to write ~300 instead of 300+ the buttons were right there. I just used them. you also have access to them #would my HW assignment have been 150 words over if I had literally fully cut the entire second argument I added? #Yes but it would have then only contained the Eurocentric argument and not the Sinitic counterargument and that would have been worse

i was gonna go into something, but then i realized that the relevancy of that idea is a few months old by the time this clip goes up. probably the most major flaw of my queue based system of doing things.

just to give a little August 15th morning update regarding how that can get, i have already got enough clips queued that the queue is backed up until October right now, and i haven’t even queued every clip i’ve taken. i’m actually sort of too exhausted to do that right now. but, well, you know, backed up until October, got some time to rest a bit.

#video #splat series #splatoon 2 #6/7/22 #to say the original point i was going off of there anyways #it's that this is a squiffer clip! on full charge it does 300 damage to match the splat charger despite doing less in turf. #but this is fine by me as the only charger that should not pop Steelheads in 1 shot is the Bamboozler. #squiffer 140 to SC 160 to goo & E-liter 180 #the e-liter's full charge shot is 600 but damage scaling in this mode... eh. it's fine and fun. #there's good argument that it should be 500 but at that point 100 more damage doesn't actually do much so. why not. #stop scrappers in one shot who cares. #literally the only other noticeable difference that makes is Maws going down in three shots to two... but for how much charging is needed #again it's fine who cares. #as for that second point lets look at the root of that #out of the 139 total weapon kits in splatoon 2 i have 14 left to play! i've been cramming a little this month. #i think i can be done by this time next week but i don't know if that's wise. i'll see i suppose. #either way i'll be able to have a little break before splatoon 3 and there's a lot of a buffer so its' plot doesn't come out too soon here? #that's an at least statement. #i don't know if i'll download that demo thing? if it's not that huge i'll go for it but if it's like 8GB needed i'll probably pass. #free space on my Switch is at a premium these days.

so. um. 👉👈

hi guysies.

Ig I should just say like. Hi

I haven't been posting here as much cause. Idk. Might be depression? I keep thinking its cause I've been so busy, which also wouldn't be not untrue, but these past, like, 3 weeks I think so far? I've had some free time but I haven't cause. I dunno, then again, I haven't been doing too much in general? I gues, besides very mandatory things, hell I've even been lacking in my regular skyrim hours of playing.

That, and as said, I get super melancholic when I remember just how sad and bittersweet it is that t0h is. Actually legit over. The show and experience, that is.

Oh all that and also becuz my headphones broke! Fuck! That's like number 2 in my bare necessities for when I post, do almost anything really! It's seriously been painful this past month going without headphones holy shit. Dude I've been scratching at the bit for some relief for headphones, I NEED music legitimately. Even right now, as I'm typing this on my phone, my music is on low levels.

But yerp. Its been. Rough. Really rough. I really do appreciate yall, everyone of yall. Have a sweet week everyone, ✌️!

#the butts chronicles #ogh but yea. been rough. #as said I have no idea if we'll keep this house cause man shits been fucked #uhhhh. lets see. recently my sister got into a fairly nasty argument with her husband since they were both drunk and hes a bit of a. hm #quick to being mad guy? I spose? but yea they made up and he actually apologized to me and my family for that so. its okay? #OH YEA FUCK LOL a few weeks ago fuckin tecksas got hit nasty with a hurricane and GUYS. I FREAKED OUT SO BAD LOL #cuz there was hail with the rain but since. I dont think we even ever experienced hail here I was scared that my ceiling roof broke again #and that it was the rain leaking to my room ceiling and was about to burst my ceiling so I legit started hyperventilating and panicking #with like. short and heavy breathing and almost crying badly until I went to look outside and saw hail and only slightly calmed down #oh but yea it was nasty lol. then the next day almost the entire block lost power and apparently sparks were happening cause fallen trees #uhhh. lets see. hmmm. OH OH RIGHT DAMN I FORGOT WE GOT A PUPPY LOL #we've gotten a lil pup all the way back from dec? iirc and she is now older and a shit lol shes in her teething phase and whatnot #still p cute tho and very puppyish. oh yea also during dec our power went out and ogh man dec was so freezing literally. #almost as bad as the one from. uhhh I cant remember the exact year but I remember it being within these past 4 years at least cause I read #a t0h fic during it lol. oh yea speaking of. we also changed our light company and damn. its been not bad so far! we had to pay up to 300 #in our old company and now we dont even get to 200 so far! hope Im not jinxing it! hmm oh did I already say before that I had to get a new #phone? cause I did and I did not enjoy it lol. had it for a while and now and its arguably worse cause no damn headphone plug-in #I think I did mention this but in case. I did finish counseling. well more accurately they required payments again since things and whatnot. #I think? I mentioned the stuff I got for my bday and chmisas. I got mostly neat stuff. I guess. one of them has still yet to arrive lol #uhhhh. hrm. I did get Mr. Martinet's autograph as a present! hrmmm #my other sister got another surgery a while back and its been relatively the same since. hmm. my only other living grandparent passed away #me and my ex got into a. not great argument cause mistakes and whatnot. raccoons in the attic thats hopefully taken care of for now #aaaaand the plushes I ordered a damn near year ago have been technically canceled cause of unfortunate circumstances for the creator #who just kinda. posts things now lol ig. #but yea. lots. holy shit guys. lots has happened. fuck man. I think Ive been way more tired than I thought. #not to mention the past weeks of just. reflecting. man #uhhh #long post #LOL i gues #but yerp.
