#I am trying to flirt

[shitpostingkats]

Alabasta Ace is so funny.

Like the strawhats keep commenting that Ace is so polite and restrained compared to Luffy but like. This dude drags himself out of the ocean just to thank them for looking after his brother and offer to help wash dishes. Mans asks "Are these guys bothering you?" and proceeds to blow up an entire fleet with his bare hands. He trips over himself to make sure all of Luffy's crew likes him and no, really, you don't mind that he's a weirdo???? That we, I mean he, are feral little insane guys who take up space and emotional labor and are kind hard to handle? Really???? Cool cool cool hey just a reminder I can help out with anything that needs doing. I got lost in the desert but donnut worry in the 0.6 seconds since you last saw me I have somehow acquired water and provisions for several weeks. Don't ask me how!

Peak oldest sibling behavior.

#'Ace is trying to flirt with Sanji' <<< Weak take. Simple. Out of character. #'Ace immediately clocks Sanji as the domestic provider and tries to endear himself to the guy responsible for feeding his little bro. #At All Costs.' <<< Strong take. Breathtaking. Absolutely something he would do. #Ace cleaning his plate ever meal and carefully putting everything away: I am going to get a good job in taking up space :) #Something that is normal to want :) And possible to achieve :) #I'm just saying Alabasta Ace is clearly insane. #And so used to constantly having to provide for Luffy. #Oh? Buddy? Were you raised in an environment where resources were scarce and you felt you had to 'earn' the right to be cared for??? #Are you used to working yourself to the bone to make sure you and your brothers weren't considered 'too annoying' or 'not worth the effort' #Are you scared of requiring care and being a burden on those who love you??? Huh??? Little buddy??????? #one piece #op #portgas d ace #portgas d. ace

+3 friendship with Jin Ling: He actively tries to dissuade you from further embroiling yourself in the homosexual allegations.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #jin ling #jiang cheng #nie huaisang #For real though it's so sweet how desperate he sounds when trying to save mxy's face. #Jin Ling genuinely likes this uncle! He's let him into his heart! #Why his uncle is so desperate to make his reputation worse is beyond him!!! #The same uncle who has time and time again proven to be genuine in his intentions and has been there for JL in so many ways! #JL wants to return the favour! Alas it is like holding a dog back from eating the onion chips on the ground. #I sure hope nothing betrays jin ling's trust in this new bond! #(and yes I am keeping NHS and JC's sleep wear in the next scenes. For the whimsy) #In other news - LWJ finally gets a little hand hold. Most likely it was a highfive that lasted a little too long. #But it counts okay? To him it counts. #Speaking of: I went sooooo long in life not realizing the 'hee hee let's compare hand sizes' was a flirt move. #I thought people were just genuinely curious about fingers and hands. But no. It's not that. It's a hand hold move. #I'm here for the science and research. You are here to flirt. We are not the same.

Accidentally started rereading Northanger Abbey, and was sudden reminded all over again that Jane Austen is, in fact, fucking hilarious.

NA is her parody/satire of Gothic novels at the time, and she starts the book by choosing violence-- she describes the "tragedy" of the main character, Catherine Morland, a girl Determined to be a Heroine even though ALL ODDS are against her: she has a sane father who doesn't lock up his daughters, a healthy mother who didn't die in childbirth, no preternatural talent for music or drawing through which to reveal her Deepest Soul, and-- most shockingly of all-- absolutely zero love interests for whom she can wander the hills mourning their starcrossed fates until she wastes away from the sheer Sentimentality of it all.

But don't worry! She's got this FIGURED OUT. She KNOWS why she has not yet found her TRUE LOVE:

There was not one lord in the neighbourhood; no—not even a baronet. There was not one family among their acquaintance who had reared and supported a boy accidentally found at their door—not one young man whose origin was unknown. Her father had no ward, and the squire of the parish no children.

But when a young lady is to be a heroine, the perverseness of forty surrounding families cannot prevent her. Something must and will happen to throw a hero in her way.

(SPOILER: She is introduced to a mysterious young man who lives in an ABBEY, which everyone knows means he has a DEEPLY MYSTERIOUS SECRET PAST and is maybe a TRAGIC HERO or even a ROMANTIC MONSTER and either way this is IT this is Catherine's TIME TO SHINE she is going to get a good grade in DOOMED LOVE, a thing that is normal to want and--)

(...meanwhile Henry Tilney-- an ordinary guy who never expected "get cast as the Hero in some Grand Gothic Romance" to show up on his bingo card-- starts wondering when exactly he started finding Catherine's attempts to locate bloody daggers in his linen closet charming.)

#Catherine: *literally breaks into a foreboding cabinet in the middle of the night - finds illegible papers no doubt related to murder* #Catherine: *accidentally blows her own candle out while trying to just lower the flame for Effect - proceeds to freak out* #Catherine: *woken up next day by a maid - the cabinet was a linen closet - the papers were inventory of sheets n shit* #Henry Tilney: “Why are you like this? And WHY am I apparently into it?? #Catherine: *too busy trying to stare through the keyhole of the abbey's Forbidden Rooms #totally doesn't hear him* #jane austen #northanger abbey #austen: both a diamond thief AND a talented humorist #give me a time machine and a dinner invite and I would 100% try and flirt with her #GIVE THIS TO ME SCIENCE

#rogue trader #i haven't even flirted with jae but i am trying to romance heinrix #(admittedly w/o using the blatant flirt options yet bc my rt is still a bit put off by his whole torture thing given their torture trauma) #he sounds both so salty abt the rt and bullying abelard abt his whole. well. theodora thing. anyway it's hilarious #abelard werserian #heinrix van calox

[stealingpotatoes]

#'yes she tried to frame me for terrorism yes i still regret not telling her i loved her' and Sabines just standing there like 'this is not what i thought was going to happen when i asked for advice about my situation with Shin'

the ahsoka show would've been so much better if ahsoka'd given up on trying to teach sabine to be a Jedi and instead just taught her what she knows best: how to have a toxic lesbian romance

#double date but its shin and barriss trying to kill sabine and ahsoka while they try to flirt #btw i am a force sensitive sabine denier sorry <3 #thanks for the ask!

@probably-impossible has opened my eyes to the genius of Wanderer x Katheryne and I'm GOING DOWN WITH THIS SHIP

#my art #i am not immune to silly character dynamics #also thank god for the games fashion archive for scara's stupid head frisbee refs #the thoughts could be switched in any which way tbh #i'm of the opinion that if scara decided to try to flirt he'd be absolute shite at it but pretend to be suave and uncaring #he pretends to be hot shit but fails <- his entire character summary #wanderer #scaramouche #genshin impact #katheryne #wanderer x katheryne #scaramouche x katheryne #wanderyne #skatheryne

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

it just struck me how my queerness is essentially just me going "hmmm... nah <3"

#gender? nah <3 #romantic orientation? nah <3 #sexuality? nah <3 #someone hands me a form that asks what i am and i just fill in 'n/a' #i simply couldnt be fucked! with literally any of it! #honestly the somewhat recent aroace realization has been So freeing #i didnt know how much stress the constant performance caused... #and also now that i KNOW it was a performance? oh boy looking back is so fucking funny #absolutely unprompted #damn sorry past me... they really didnt know... #they were out there trying so hard to conform lmfaoooo #pretending to pine while genuinely thinking they were pining.... #trying to want a relationship while being So fucking stressed out and put off by the concept... #i may have been. somewhat of an idiot <3 #nah jk i wasnt! thats just how it is growing up in a romance oriented world #now all i have to worry about it making friends!!! #no more trying to flirt with cute cashiers! no more feeling Unnecessary Pressure! #im free....

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

really wish my one friend would quit flirting with me. and trying to goad me into hanging out more. and assigning us fictional characters that are oh-so-coincidently either couples or with romantic tension. and then interrupting our gameplay to ask me repeatedly if I think they’re “like us” (which they rarely are…). and matching my icon on discord without asking (again, usually by insinuating a couple connection). and giving me random things I do not want and did not ask to receive (and then forcing me to take them???).

#storyrambles #it’s not creepy. just for context. it’s just irritating because I’ve told this person repeatedly that I’m not interested in romance. #this person is also naturally a huge romantic so it is next to impossible to tell whether it’s actual flirtation or just flirting for fun #flirting for fun is cool. I wouldn’t mind that. but if I do it once this person will take that as an invitation to do it an excessive amoun #but yeah after being given 12 roses out of the blue when I said ‘no don’t buy me flowers’. there’s only so many things that can mean #‘it’s nice to see your face you always cover it!’ …I’m masking. because of covid #I’m narrating a game and suddenly ‘I like hearing your voice I should call you every day so I can hear it for 10 minutes’. …no. #‘you have to take the snack I brought you know it’s rude to refuse a gift’ I have never refused a gift. It is rude. But also I didn’t ask. #‘you know this game is one you can play without talking so we can play more often!’ we already play games once a week for usually 3 hours. #‘but it’s not talking so it’s less social energy’ no. that is not how it works. #sorry for the rant im just. tired. #you know those people who are so pleasant to hang out with and then they try way too hard #and that’s actually what makes things awkward? rather than when they’re just being themselves? #yeah. that’s this friend here. #usually I go along with the bit but when I can never tell when the bit is actually a bit #and you insist on me taking on the ‘girl role’ for most of them #I am not going to play along. #UGH don’t get me started on the ‘you’re cute when you’re flustered’ #I wasn’t even flustered. I was trying to do mental math while running on four hours of sleep and he was staring directly at me #it’s uncomfortable. #also. I never want to hear that again. fuck. ‘you’re cute when you’re angry’ ‘you’re cute when you’re upset’ ALL THE FUCKING TIME AS A KID #will I be so cute after I kick you in the nuts? will I? #(for clarity I don’t want to kick him. I want to kick those other people.) #I need a lot of alone time. I really do. I can do 3 hours and then I will be drained for the rest of the day. #‘how did you grow up? did you not talk to your mom for more than 3 hours a day?’ #first of all. that’s different? #secondly we actually regularly do separate things without talking to each other. or go in separate rooms to take some time to ourselves #also I don’t have to be on high alert for if I’m going to be flirted with. so. #ugh. I like him as a friend. I really do. I know this all makes it seem like the opposite. I try so hard to be as nice as possible. #but UGHHHHHH

been working on answering a prompt i received in an ask the other day, and so i'm back thinking about... the Thing... 💖🎀 and thought maybe prompt doodles might help me work through this a little?

so uhhh.... if by any wild chance anyone has any ship suggestions for starstruck...??? feel free to send them through!

#this is *only* for starstruck and is not general requests! i'm just trying to figure out how i feel about this 😳 #obviously no guarantees that i will be confident enough to draw any of these or that i'll enjoy them all but i just... am considering it? #idk idk idk is this stupid.... #hope i won't regret this or won't get genuinely weirdass things. #just to be transparent this is sfw exclusively tho implied flirting is a-okay. please don't be weird....? i'm trusting folks to be nice!! #i would also happily take little prompts if you have thoughts about how it would work or whichever! like if you're a character Understander #if you have an idea how it would Work or what it might Be Like that would also help me to get a concept on how i feel about it!! #also i would.. consider ocs (only from their creator) if you... wanna??? character+artist *must* be an adult. starstruck is in her early 30 #also with ocs preferably from folks who i've at least interacted with before and like.. not just bc u want art ;;; #like... do u geniunely think they could have a cute dynamic? i'm just wondering if she could be Cute w someone. AUUghhGHHHH #again no promises and also for now i need this all done on the assumption it's just for fun!! just funsies. i'm just... thinking i guess! #want to try and figure out what it might be like if she WAS involved in a little ship/romo space...? as a treat? auughghhggghGHGLLG #also fair warning i may just get super embarrassed/nervous about this all and delete!! but i'm.. yknow. trying! #also i figure you can kind of tell my faves and who i hardly know much about. might not have lots of feelings about most side chars! #delete later #probably #wheeeeeEEEEeeahahahah okay;;; just post it. just post it starflung. just do it. hit the button hit the button hit the b

Gentle reminder as the spooky time has arrived: If you go to a haunted house/attraction, remember that you paid to be scared. Do not go to a haunted house, and try to impress your friends by assaulting the actors. I would even go so far as to beg you to please stop trying to show off how not scared you are. Please stop this mind set that "not being scared" makes you a cool person. It doesn't. It makes you look like a jerk. And I get it, sometimes, you are legitimately not frightened. I worked Haunted houses, I've been legitimately not scared or impressed. You know what DOES make you cool? Scream anyways. Screaming at jump scares makes it more fun for you and your friends. It makes it more fun for the actors. It makes for an overall better time. If you go about a haunt, acting a fool that's not impressed, the haunters will not waste their time, and they will find someone else who gives them something to work with.

#I am sick of hearing my haunt friends tell me they got punched or beat up AGAIN #I hate macho chads who think they are all alpha and posture at scare actors #they have a job to do and they dont get paid very well #they just want to have fun #hear a few screams #get a few laughs #if you KNOW you have a tendency to punch or hit when you are frightened DO NOT GO TO A HAUNT ATTRACTION #Common sense common courtesy #And dont even get me started on the ladies who try to flirt with the monsters so that they seem less scared. #just let the monster do his job #why yall gotta make things so difficult for my friends

Texting Todoroki

(Y/n): I just wanted to thank you again for helping me study today. Todoroki: I'm glad you found it beneficial. It's also worth mentioning that you left your hair tie here. (Y/n): Heh, that just means I have a reason to come back ;) Todoroki: You wish to come and get it now? It's a little late don't you think?

(Y/n): Not right now, silly. Todoroki: Sorry, I misunderstood. Todoroki: Would you like me to "accidentally" forget to bring it to school tomorrow? (Y/n): *laughing because bless this guy for trying to flirt* Sure, whatever you want. Todoroki: *feeling rather proud of himself.*

thinking of faerûn's own lae'zel and selûnite adventurer shadowheart remeeting at the reunion and really hitting it off this time

Nothing ever happened during canon- they gained a mutual respect for one another but things happened fast and nothing came of it. They aren't even in each others top 3 "I wonder what came of them", aren't thinking about each other really at all.

But then they arrive and Lae'zel is so socialised and has friends and shes smiling and makes jokes, and Shadowheart is freer and open and laughs and they're both so handsome in their party outfits and-

#shadowzel #listen i have a long commute today and im daydreaming #i am doing a durge run with evil laezel and will try to convince her to stay and not die and thinking about that got me Thinking #anyway lae'zel having been socialised and understanding how to flirt Normal and shes so charming #obsessed with faerûns own lae'zel but only when it saves her from vlaakith #i still dont see her standing up orpheus and freeing her people and all but #anyway half sponsored by sharts selunite look its cute
