#I’ve never ‘come out’

[ficklecat]

What do we think kiddos should I wear this on my jacket and finally evoke The Pronoun Conversations with all the people I haven’t told yet (including my parents/siblings/in laws?) 😬

#is this even a big deal #but uh #fun fact about me #I’ve never ‘come out’ #like not officially #so half the people I know probably aren’t even aware I’m bisexual #and now I’ve GASP changed my pronouns #so #idk how to do this #ax says stuff #axel irl #they/them

It really is so true that you never know what someone’s going through behind closed doors. I’ve made being gentle and kind my default bc I’ve had super put together friends disclose the most harrowing time of their lives to me and it’s like oh?? You were going through that???? I would’ve never guessed

#It’s easy to reduce people to side characters or caricatures but you never know. You truly never know what someone’s going through or what #Could push them over the edge. Cruelty will never be worth potentially causing someone permanent damage #I’ve realized this after having a conversation w a friend of mine who sailed straight to med school #Tons of leadership roles #Thriving social life #Yet she just told me her hair was falling out from anxiety. Never in a million years would I have guessed that she was struggling #But she was and lots of people play things close to their chest like that #I really wanna be kind each time I can and to also come from a place of compassion #Bc ik I’ve been misunderstood by people before who reduced me to a caricature or just didn’t know what was happening in my life #I want to actively work on extending the benefit of the doubt to the same people I would want to extend the benefit of the doubt to me

Sokka and Azula would not date each other. They would be those two kids who take summer engineering camps and they have to win every competition or they might literally die. When school starts they meet up again in a speech debate club and become partners because they’re the only people they know there. They bond over Zuko being a dumbass. When Sokka does weed on the weekends and decides aliens do actually exist, Azula drops everything to walk in the woods with him and look for evidence. They are best friends.

#can you tell I have an incredibly niche modern au #also I’ve never been in a speech and debate club so don’t come for my throat about the inaccuracy #Sokka once got high and called Azula to come out to her #forgetting that she was the complete opposite world at the time visiting family #and that it was 3 am where she was #my brotp honestly #sokka #azula #atla #avatar the last airbender

Obi-Wan: Cody. Oh sweet sweet, good man Cody. I just don’t think we could be together.

Cody: Oh. Um. Is it because I’m a clone?

Obi-Wan: *trying not to admit that he would literally go insane and either try and steal the whole army, or kill the chancellor if he admitted to his feelings* Well. It’s… a conflict of interests.

Cody: *well versed in Kenobi speak, which is why he knows that doesn’t add up* What?

Anakin: *taking out his headphones ten feet away* He said you guys have conflicting mental illnesses.

Cody: That’s not-

Obi-Wan: No no, that fits the situation pretty well, actually.

#star wars #obi wan kenobi #incorrect star wars quotes #anakin skywalker #clone wars #incorrect clone wars quotes #commander cody #codywan #five minutes later they’re found making out in a closet lol #Obi’s sorry to say he’s just gonna have to steal an army and kill the chancellor #the phrase ‘conflicting mental illnesses’ came to me after I read an ao3 tag that revulsed me so much #it was ‘time travel but not fix it… time travel make it worse actually’ #and I have never read something that disgusted me more #how dare you offend me the only person with correct opinions #but my first thought was ‘oh we seem to be showing signs of conflicting mental illnesses’ #and to this day (like maybe three hours later if that) it’s the best phrase I’ve ever come up with

bug trolls… i am interested in kankri vantas. if that isn’t too much trouble. your buggy guys are so silly and interesting and i am a fan

here is kankri and his baby brother…. they don’t get along!! i wish they did though id love to see these two go on an adventure together where they look out each other. since kankri is a beforus troll and a vegan, his shell is pretty thin because he’s not getting enough iron. on the other hand, karkat’s shell is heavier then it should be due to stress. thanks for the RQ!! im soooo glad ppl like my sillies :D

#kankris picking up karkat because karkat said fuck you im going to come over there and cram my scythe down your ignorance shaft #kankri said no you arnt. you’re not going to do that. im not letting you do that. #karkat vantas #kankri vantas #homestuck #trolls #buggy trolls #want to see these 2 depending on each other to survive in alternia. i think it would be very hard for them to do #but i think they could grow and develop in interesting ways if they got to be brothers who fight #enrichment in the isopod tank #redbloods #these two are natural drama that’s engaging story!! ive never really read a fic i liked that rlly got into their companionship as brothers #like there’s quite a few abt dirk and dave as brothers #most fics that have both of them focus more on their bonds with the sufferer #if anyone has a recommendation I’d love to hear it #give them crabdad no sufferer make them struggle in this cruel world. highly protective kankri grumpy wrathful karkat #they can’t stand each other but also rely on each other. redblood moment #given that isopods are comparatively social and good natured to many of the other troll buggy species I’ve picked out #that’s what I’m SAYIN #^silly #ok bye

honestly it’s such a generic trope but i do genuinely love the concept of rose and kanaya flirting a lot with each other prior to dating, but never picking up on each others advances. both as an expansion of their pre-meteor/act 5 dynamic (lots of banter, slight mental warfare, two girls trying to see how long it takes the other to pick up what they’re putting down, flighty broads and their snarky horseshit, yadda yadda) and in the context of their miscommunication on their first date.

rose leaning on kanaya’s shoulder as she reads over a book about quadrants, and rose tells her that’s sooo interesting, she wonders if humans can engage in this stuff, and kanaya shuts her down with a vague Im Sure You Will Find Out Someday. kanaya making rose dozens of outfits, all lovingly designed, adjusting rose’s outfit when she puts it on and telling her that she wishes she could dress her like this all of the time, she’s never had a model quite like her, and rose is just like Well of course, if you ever have anything you’d like me to wear you’re welcome to invite me over. both of them die over these encounters later

something about rose and kanaya being confident enough to flirt w each other but too stupid to fully pick up on the Implications. always trying to tip the scale in their favor to force the others hand, never quite having the strength to outright admit that they like each other (until rose is shitfaced and stumbling). i think it’s a fun means to escalate their early banter as they become more acclimated to each other and develop Feelings.

#talk tag #homestuck #rosemary #rose lalonde #kanaya maryam #sorry i’ve been in such a mood #i need more girlfails rosemary that also acknowledges their strengths #notably both their abilities to Commit To The Bit #smth good about them stumbling their way through vague and elaborate flirtations #thinking oh i think she likes me. surely this will woo her #but also never Quite having it in them to say it outright #second guessing themselves a little #turning having a crush into a bit of a game to a win. both coming out losers. but also winners (they still get a gf in the end) #my brain is a jumbled mess as i fight off The Dry Air Made My Throat Sore And My Sinuses Full disease #but rosemary gets me through it

[gayleafpool]

i think a big thing people get wrong w leafpool’s character is thinking her passivity comes from like fear or insecurity or being shy or something when really it comes from like. defeat. she’s been burned so many times so now she just accepts it there’s no point in fighting back

#learned helplessness #in tnp she’s very much like a rulebreaker and kind of a little shit lol #she likes going out on her own and making friends with cats from other clans and getting involved in things cuz she’s bored #she’s rebellious and craves having deep connections with others which is why being a medicine cat starts to weight on her and makes her #impulsively decide to run away with crow #esp because she’s also watching her best friend sorreltail grow up and move on. and she’s watching her sister grow up and move on #AND SHE FEELS STUCK SHES LIKE OH. BUT THIS IS IT FOR ME ISNT IT? #so she just reacts she needs to get away!! and then everything comes crashing down and she spends the rest of her life getting punished for #that choice #which slowly crushes her fire and teaches her that her desire for something ‘more’ was never going to work out #and she’s too tired to keep fighting so she accepts that #but she’s miserable about it and this misery makes her even more exhausted #so then she just kinda ends up numb #there’s no point! #SHES SO INTERESTING TO ME AAAAAUUUUGHHHHHHH it’s been so long since i’ve rambled about leafpool….. my girl……

Second take on that ‘y/n is also %70 feral’ au (first take here) and has no choice in the matter when their body goes into ‘fight or flight’ mode and only ever picks ‘fight.’ Certain mischievous animatronics were warned but lessons still had to be learned.

The only one with the determination to fuck with a stressed y/n is Moon, because he fears nothing and thinks its funny(up until y/n gets seriously hurt by reactively punching solid steel)

#dca fandom #dca fnaf #sun fnaf #moon fnaf #monty fnaf #fnaf fanart #sundrop #moondrop #luka draws #am i projecting my inner instinctual impulsivity onto y/n? yes yes i am. #bc i gotta vent it out somehow lol #luka’s aus #fnaf #also dont come at me if monty looks weird i’ve literally never drawn him before #i have a dozen sun and moon pieces but none for any of the others lol #y/n in that last panel b like ‘i’m sorry i hit u but i also warned u not to spook me for this exact reason’ #hense while theyre otherwise not panicked jhgjhgjhg #it still set off sun and moons giggly bitch disease from the sheer suddenness of it all

it’s kinda funny to me how that dumb scene in kiwami 1 of majima getting shot and left for dead in the harbor was basically just added as a half-assed way to explain majima not being around for a bit of the plot, but they accidentally(?) just made it seem like start of a chain reaction where majima ended up feeling slighted and heartbroken after being abandoned like that and then lashed out about it via smashing a big truck into the building kiryu was in. and yeah that isn’t inherently a romantic thing as-is but then they go and add the part where majima grabs a hostess and performatively hits on her as in-kiryu’s-face as possible, she says she’s already in love with someone, and majima lets her go immediately, no questions asked, making a big fucking point of it just to say see THAT kiryu? I appreciate when people are HONEST about their FEELINGS. people who won’t just BACKSTAB someone who CARES about them to save themselves. is that so crazy kiryu?? huh??? anyway make it up to me get down here and fight me right fucking now

#I think on another level he was sorta saying like ‘hey kiryu. you’re making it extremely clear that you don’t trust me and my intentions #and I’ve been trying to show you- over and over again- that I’d do just about anything for you and your safety #but I can’t just let my mask fall off in front of everyone- I need to keep up the unpredictable morally grey wildcard act for both my sake #AND yours. because disguising my helping you as crazy random violent outbursts and weird stalker behavior #is the only way I CAN help you. do you think it would go over well with shimano or literally anyone else if I was outright helping you out #of the kindness of my heart and fondness for you? stop being so fucking dense and look past the crazy wacky nonsense for a second and #maybe you’ll realize that all I do at the end of the day- really- is help you and put my own life and reputation on the line for you. #I am an honest guy when it comes to my real values and when I told you I wouldn’t let anyone kill you unelss it was myself- I meant it. #I’ve taken a knife and a bullet for you now. can you REALLY not see through the act yet? am I REALLY that unpredictable when you think about #it?’ #that was a longer explanation than i intended but. it was difficult to put into words #I basically feel like it could be read as him implying kiryu shouldn’t backstab the people who put themselves on the line to help him #and/or pointing out that he’s never actually done kiryu dirty and has stuck to his word protecting him in the ways he can #trying to say yeah all this is a crazy act and all but when it comes down to it you Can trust me #it really makes sense when you think about it that he’d have to help kiryu/show affection towards kiryu in unpredictable convoluted ways #at that point in time because. I mean. there’s a reason he was the only person who showed up to welcome kiryu when he got out of prison #and that’s because A) he sticks to his word and his loyalty to people he cares about and B) no one else had the balls or the batshit insane #mask to wear to ward off anyone asking real questions like majima did. because ANYONE associating themselves with the supposed #patriarch-killer was a HUGE NO-NO at the time. someone important showing up for kiryu and welcoming him back outright could’ve caused #all-out warfare probably. except majima. because majima was dedicated and smart enough to use his widely-feared wildcard persona #(that everyone tended to view as incapable of having any Real agenda to worry about) to his And kiryu’s advantage #does that make sense??? I feel like it makes a lot of sense if you get it to click in your head #kazumaji #majima #kiryu #yakuza #kiwami 1 #yk1 #rambling

Ten years later, and I’m still upset that they killed Neal in ouat

#like…. even without the swanfire of it all #terrible decision!!! #I’ve said it all before. but like. #rumple needed Neal there for his own story line #Neal connected the charmings and the golds in the story #and even if they want to go cs (a bad decision) #Neal didnt need to die for it! #they really kind of rub it in the audience’s face and show that he’s dead and not coming back #with naming the baby Neal. the grave visit. #AND RUMPLE DECIDING THAT IT MAKES SENSE TO LET NEAL ‘DIE A HERO’ #SO HE JUST ERASES HIS MEMORY OF IT #rumple would never #and it was such a pointless death too!! Neal dying didn’t really help the heroes out much in the end #mine #ouat #nealfire #tag meta #yes. I am rewatching ouat. tysm for asking

All I can think of when I see all these photos of DT on the red carpet is like…what are the new new doctor who lighting and makeup people doing to that man

#it appears DT rolls out of bed looking 10 years younger than he is and then the dw people come in and they are like we have to make you look #like you have pronounce eyebags right now. #and as I’ve said before I genuinely love eyebags I’m not complaining I’ve just never seen a show do this before
