#So let's see if I can cook something

[dirtytransmasc]

the Sully kids' reaction to Jake saying Spider "knew everything" breaks my heart.

they knew him better than anyone else, better than their parents. they knew his love for Eywa, for Pandora, for The People, for the clan, for their family. they knew he would never tell the RDA anything... not willingly at least.

they knew they were leaving because Spider would be tortured for information, he'd be forced to reveal their home, their plans, their numbers, their weaknesses. their brother would be tortured and they were being forced to leave him behind.

they knew they were being forced to find a new home, without their brother, because their dad knew he would be tortured.

#I like to think. for the sake of my sanity. Jake knew Spider would be loyal to them. that he would only blab once broken by torture. #anything else would kill me. the level of anger would be lethal. #but regardless. I think the kids would also need to believe the same thing. they *need* to think their dad has faith in their brother. #but back to the reactions themselves. the heartbreak and confusion on Kiri and Tuk's face. the way Lo'ak looks dissociated. #we can barely even see his face. but even Neteyam looks surprised and painted. even if its kept under a calm guise #(I will never let anyone convince me 'tey didn't love Spi. James. give us more about them please. more than these little crumbs) #they were just little kids and he was their big brother #he was Lo'ak and Kiri's best friend #Tuk was his baby #I feel it in my bones that Spi and 'tey were brothers with a complicated history. I know 'tey was scared to lose him. #I don't have proof but I know James is cooking up something with them #they would never believe Spider would just give them up. but that opens up their minds to so many things to think about #they had to be so scared for him and angry he was being left behind #(especially since in the comics Kiri. Lo'ak. and Tuk risk their lives to save him when he was kidnapped by Nash) #avatar 2 #avatar the way of water #spider socorro #miles spider socorro #miles socorro #kiri sully #lo'ak sully #tuk sully #tuktirey sully #neteyam sully #lo'ak #kiri #tuk #tuk tuk #tuktirey #neteyam

OK WHATF ATHAT'S SO CUTE I HAD TO MAKE IT i know realistically there's little to no chance that rei DOESN'T know how to work heels 🤣 BUT IMAGINE.....ING.... YAKUMO GENTLY GUIDING REI IN HEELS, WEEKS BEFORE THE BIG GALA AND HAVING NONE OF HIS NORMAL FEAR OF PHYSICAL TOUCH BC HIS [TEACHER MODE] IS OVERRIDING HIS INSECURITY

#rei looking directly at the camera like why are you subjecting me to this. i do not need any of this. i know how to do it #rei wearing stilettos the size of your head so he becomes ur very tall bird goth gf #you know how yakumo gets when he instructs someone on how to cook something #he becomes confident and just tells ppl how to do stuff without his usual amount of stutter and secondguessing #i'm gonna pretend that after his stiletto training in misty vale he gains a TINY MOLECULE of confidence due to experience #like [i can help you if you've never done it before?] #honestly i can't imagine this scenario happening because i am so SURE that rei can walk in heels HAHAHA even tho nothing has proven that #SOMETHING COME PROVE ME WRONG SO MY DELUSIONS CAN SLIDE CLOSER TO POSSIBILITY #anyway even if rei didn't know how to wear heels #would he ever mention it? would yakumo ever learn of it? #rei would probably be all . i don't need to wear heels. they can't even see them under the dress. i'll wear my practical shoes #but if he can't get away with that and will be forced to wear heels at the party... #maybe he'll go [meh. i'll figure it out] and just not wear them until the day of the dance #at which point his feet will hurt after 20 minutes and for the whole night he takes any chance to sit down #rei can be frequently spotted on SOME surface SOMEWHERE in the palace. sitting all splayed out and uncaring of propriety #because he is in PAIN and these shoes are STUPID and why do people wear them for ANYTHING . Royals are so IMPRACTICAL #yakumo keeps trying to avoid heels for the dance because he doesn't want to be any taller than he already is #i bet there's a full convo about it between him and eiden #eiden trying to reassure him that if he wants to wear heels then he shouldn't let others' perception stop him from doing so #but if he genuinely doesn't want to wear them then that's ok too #eiden craning his neck up at yakumo in heels like you're my pretty princess 1-2 heads taller than me your height doesn't matter 🥰 #i'm now torn. yakumo and rei both wearing heels now? in order to stay at similar heights? #or. rei starting out with heels. getting tired of them. going barefoot for the rest of the night lol #yakumo and rei still dancing in their ballgowns together but a much shorter rei leads a yakumo in heels #yes. yes this is the vision #yakumo #rei #yakurei #replies

Hi! Im more-mouse-bites on ao3 and I came and followed for the mgv content.

I’m writing an ABO house fic of my own atm! I was going to follow the long-beloved trope of “house hides his second gender and everyone thinks he’s an alpha, but then something happens and he’s exposed” but I realized that I could have a lot more fun with having House as a known omega from the start. I have omegas as slightly more uncommon and definitely frowned upon in high-intensity careers like medicine, because of their perceived frailty. I’m such a slut for the socio-economic implications of an ABO universe, lol.

Which segues into my question— in your AU, what’s the general consensus societally on omegas? Does House have to routinely fight against ignorance and dismissal? And if so, how would Wilson react? Or even just to general patients being terrible to House. Would he step in, or would House stop him because that would undermine his credibility?

Really love your AU! Can’t wait to see more ❤️

(hiii thank you for the kind words on here and ao3 kisskiss) house hiding his status as an omega and going through life as a false alpha is great i won't lie, but the idea of house being ASSUMED to be an alpha simply because of how he carries himself and taking great joy in surprising people by being like (loud incorrect buzzer).... the mischief. it's so yummy

that's rly neat!! i definitely believe that omegas being in places of power/authority are uncommon due to how they are perceived as the lesser secondary sex. an omega NURSE or orderly would be easier accepted than an omega DOCTOR, for instance. and then some patients being like "i don't wanna get treated by no 'meg, i want a different doctor seeing to me" of course.

given to the types of people who end up seeing house for their mystery illness of the week, there are definitely more than a couple of hardheads who try to challenge house's authority either as a patient in the hospital bed, or as family/loved ones of the ill who can't believe a mere omega can cure the patient. house would antagonize them back, of course, but not give up the case either if it's good enough a puzzle.

wilson's reaction to seeing house get discriminated would depend on what the aggressor says/does and wilson's own cycle as well. (this is operating on the default that they're unbonded as well) because as much as i LIVE for protective wilson, he also knows how to throw house's shit right back at him. and house is a jerk, no matter the au, so from the outside looking in he wouldn't bat an eye. if he's brought on as a consult to the case, he'd be a little more involved; professional, but he would defend house's integrity and skill.

closer to rut, though, he would be a bit more..... tense. he catches an alpha kick house's cane out from under him in a fit of aggression and before you know it, he's pinned them to the nearest flat surface and is growling in their face. HUGE no-no as a doctor but also one he can get away with at trial, yknow, "crime of passion" type thing.

as a distinguished (.... sort of. it's greg house) specialist and literal grown man, it gets on house's nerves, yes. and as someone at odds with his secondary sex, he also hates that he even brings out that part of wilson's alpha biology, too. but -- and he wouldn't admit this under threat of death -- it also makes him preen a little inside that wilson's hindbrain (his subconscious, the pure primal instinct with No Thought behind it) deems him as something worth fighting over, protecting, defending when house himself does not.

#asks #lucradiss #your handle makes me chuckle btw it's like ludacris but not! funny! love that #house md #hilson #yeah i'm tagging this i feel like i wrote a thesis paper while my food was cooking #house seeing himself a bad omega years before the infarction too #because he doesn't like to submit and he's not the ideal omega male physically #getting into something serious with stacy (alpha) was the first time he let himself be bonded to someone else #which meant in turn that her later betrayal of his wishes hurt even more..... man #for me a pair can become unbonded over time if they don't reaffirm regularly or can be induced medically #which is painful/unpleasant and probably only relegated to emergency situations #and house probably opted out of it medically so he was naturally being unbonded while also recovering from the surgery. man #no wonder him and wilson would get mistaken for bondmates. house probably imprinted on him without either realizing

[boxwinebaddie]

once again, this has nothing to do with anything but i had this massive brainworm abt jer starring in a crimson dawn music video where he can reprise his role as Gone But Not ForThotten Shameless Slut Era Jersey and gets to be a super hot, scary, sexc vampire king that seduces nice boys and turns them into his little vampire thralls ;)

in my head the aesthetic is very punk-rock bram stoker dracula x howl's moving castle, with strong romantic goth esqe energy, lots of catholic religious imagery sex-cept its being totally sacralized by cd.

but anyways, back to vampire king jersey, like...excuse me, jers in the dramatic high waisted riding pants and the frilly, lacey, billowy shirt with the big puff sleeves, open just enough to invite temptation but not enough to let it in...completely dripped out in the big, fancy costume jewelry and little raven rings except they're all gold & dainty, with his long, beautiful, luxuriously bouncy ginger hair falling over his shoulders like fire and lightly billowing in the breeze w/ his tunic???

not to mention the scarlet streams of fake blood dripping from his freckled lips as he smirks at you and licks them!!! HELLLOO!!!!!!!

anyways, i could talk about this for hours, but i just want y'all to know that jersey kyle played that role far too convincingly, made extremely intense, heart-racing, sexually charged eye contact with stan like the entire time and i have this very vivid image in my head of them finally getting to Kiss during this one part of the song bc it was scripted...

and its just them like aggressively making out against a huge coffin or an victorian banquet table with an antique candelabra on it and the director keeps yelling "CUT! CUT! CUT!" but they can't hear anything over the sounds they're making in each other's mouths, breathless gasps, soft shudders, desperate hands everywhere, shirts hung off collarbones, makeup smeared, expensive props fallin all over the floor

anyways, they only needed about 35 seconds of film and at the end, they ended up with 8:23 minutes of footage they didn't need...Slay.

-uncle nina, whose brain is just a super gross girl terrarium for down horrendous nasty boy brain worms

p.s. i think the song tagline goes something like

'they say you are what you eat...'

'and i eat boys' ;)

#nsfwish sorry #i'm sorry about this idk why this was living in my brain #BUT LIKE SEXC EMO MUSIC VIDEO HOWLS MOVING CASTLE BRAM STOKER DRACULA X NANA THE ANIME X HEX GIRLS X ROM GOTH VIBES #im obsessed like i just know that kyle looked good #omg i guess stan was the virigin sacrifice in the music video which is sooo funny like makes sense bestie #i feel him and kyle were serving like opposite vibes and kyles was very like white gold and stans was very like red black #anyways hot boys doing hot boy things i suppose #they are dating btw i could not imagine if they were people would die and by people i mean stan and kyle #who legit made out for 15 minutes that was unserious #when are they dropping the directors cut im tryna see somethin...absolute filth if im honest #i just know so much prop stuff got broken like throwing stan into something omg kyles white shirt had fake blood all over it #ravenstans eye makeup was like halfway down his face which was totally flushed w/ fingers hooked in kyles hair...anyways...can u see it #i think the song is a play off being a maneater or something #re: rm!kyles diet of green salad red wine cherry candy #and boys boys boys ;) #IM COOKIN!!!

I FUCKING DID SOMETHING FOR ONCE LET'S GO!!!

ok so i was listening to this song like a week ago and i saw this animation clear as day in my mind and i knew i had to try and storyboard it out while i was thinking of it. i wanna do the full song at some point because it is So Very Them-coded but i do not have the time rn and will not for a while (i barely had the time to make this) so for now i just made sure i got the really complicated part out of the way. figured i'd post it because. why not lol

anyway. this is for my Darkest Desire AU story!! it's called Glitching Fates!! i am so normal about it and i have been for years now. it is. so far removed from the source material but i do not care it is very special to me :]

as a sort of summary for what's going on here, the night guard and Will used to be really good friends but they both ended up getting busy with their own lives so they couldn't interact as much, and then the whole Glitchtrap possession thing happens which reunites them but also drives a wedge between them since Will is blindly following Glitchtrap while the night guard is trying to find a way to stop Glitchtrap.

i am so not fucking normal about these characters you all have no idea. oh my god. they have permanent residence in my mind rn. i need people to ask me about them or else I Will Become Violent (/j)

hope y'all liked this, or at least i hope y'all found my passive-agressive notes to myself funny lol. under the cut i typed up all the handwritten ones in case y'all want to read them but can't make out my handwriting

a fuckin uh.. pillar or somethin idk

ooh cool scene transition

how do i convey that he's walking onto a train

dismissive wave

hair is longer to indicate passage of time

pretend this shot doesn't look like total dogshit ok?

hey how did my anatomy manage to get That Much Fucking Worse this far in

there is Something wrong here. i just cannot tell What

that is. so much better what the fuck

ok that's all thank you for looking at my post :]

i started reading the yuri manga “she loves to cook and she loves to eat” which is about a woman who ends up dating another woman bc she’ll always eat the extra portions she cooks, and i like how this early page deals with, like, the gender politics + lesbian discomfort of being with a woman vs being with a man. the way she feels about cooking for her (future) girlfriend is entirely different than the way she feels about the idea of cooking for a man, not just because she’s completely uninterested in this man, but because what society says being with that man means is completely different, too. translation:

male coworker: but being able to talk (about cooking) like that is really cool!

nomoto: ?!

male coworker: like, a woman who’s good on the job and good at home

nomoto: (what- what’s happening) no, it’s just…a hobby of mine…

male coworker: man, you’re gonna be a great mom. i wish i had a girlfriend to cook for me!

nomoto (internal): ah. like that, something i do for myself because i enjoy it was claimed as something for a man’s sake.

#something i feel like a lot of lesbian media misses is like. the absolute gut reaction that it absolutely could not be a man #just absolutely knowing who you are and who you love and the way the world doesn’t let you take a break from asserting that you know that #and sometimes it is more simple and it’s just knowing you love women. but being queer at all is always gonna require you to keep pushing #against expectations #and lesbianism comes with a looooot of pushing against gender roles too #she loves to cook and that’s for her and if she loves cooking for her gf too then that’s for her too. but a man seeing that she can #cook well and immediately making it about ‘you’re gonna be a great mom someday’ takes that all away #it has to be the gf. it absolutely has to be #personal #this has been maya thinks abt manga on the bus again #i’m just starting this one but the chapters are really short so it’s fun and lighthearted!

People are SO fucking weird about vegans. Like yeah i get it theres the ones who care more about animals than humans, the ones who are literally eco fascist, the raw vegans, the militant vegans, the ones who say theres no excuse to eat meat- i get it dude but thats not what makes up veganism as an ideology. The very basis of veganism as an ideology (not as a diet) is animal welfare. People can take something simple like that and pull it in a million different directions for better or for worse, same with the idea of reincarnation, or the idea that "people need to be treated fairly", because it brings up a lot of questions like "do people who treat people unfairly deserve to be treated unfairly?" Or "if reincarnation is real then does that take away the seriousness of death?" Or "if animals are mistreated, shouldnt we do everything in our capacity to protect them (even if it hurts others?)" But obviously all of those things can go in an opposite direction thats purely positive, "everyone deserves to be treated fairly regardless", "believing in reincarnation is fine as long as you dont think its fine to kill someone to 'liberate' them or something", "animals should be protected insofar as it doesnt greatly impact certain humans who may need to rely on them", etc. Like. Why do we have to pretend everything is black and white to keep pushing away and ignoring vegans?

#veganism is NOT tethered to militant vegans or whatever. militant vegans are vegan but they dont make up the entirety of veganism. #veganism has a very basic ideology that people can build off of in a million different ways just like any other similar basic idea #thinking vertain vegans are cringe is not a good enough excuse to ignore all vegans. #yall arent even on the same level of vegan as im on rn like dusjdksnjwb im on an entirely different wavelength dawg #i understand how you see vegans but i think people can be vegan even if they eat meat sometimes so #like i have an entirely different understanding of it as an ideology. its about doing what you can without letting yourself suffer #if you have to eat meat for some reason so be it. that doesnt make you any less vegan so long as you try to avoid harming animals #thats the VERY BASIS of my understanding of vegan ideology. or at least. the healthiest version of it imo. #sometimes i hafta eat meat because im poor. i hate it for a myriad of reasons (how i feel abt eating an animal. how my digestive system #also feels about eating an animal. etc lol) but i dont think that takes away my veganism bc otherwise veganism would be incredibly #restricted to a very specific type of person who has a shit ton of money time and energy to buy vegan shit and cook it and everything #its not impossible to eat vegan without a lot of money also but thats besides my point. it would generally fall under something only #more privileged people can do and i think thats a dumb version or understanding of veganism. and to reduce it to that #whether ur the vegan reducing it to that or someone on the outside observing vegans #is also dumb. #theyre doing it for elitist reasons and you're doing it to validate or push your political ideals of vegans. #bc its easier to dismiss all vegans as just privileged out of touch skinny white women than it is to listen to ALL vegan perspectives.
