#WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'RE DATING

[lordstormageddidnt]

BBC Sherlock wouldve been 10 times better if John did one of his "me and Sherlock aren't dating" lines and Sherlock just gave him a weird look like "yes we are???? What are you talking about"

#bbc sherlock #johnlock #WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'RE DATING #i told you about this last week! #jesus christ sherlock you dont just tell people youre dating you have to ask #fine. will you go on a date with me. #HOLD ON WHEN DID YOU TELL ME THIS. WAS THIS WHEN I WAS OUT OF THE ROOM AGAIN #now that you mention it #you were rather quiet #i hate you sometimes sherlock #is that a yes #we've never even done amything REMOTELY romantic #we had a candlelit dinner last week #THAT WASNT A CANDLE YOU LIT THE CURTAINS ON FIRE #We're not dating. i dont even like you #thats false. your pupils dilate when I enter the room #thats because your head is so big that it blocks out the light

It's a little bit further into your relationship with art student!Bakugo and you've been working together now for the good portion of two semesters...

Except for whatever reason, your professor assigns him a different model for the upcoming final, and when you go to look for him after class (since at the announcement, he stormed out of the room in frustration, slamming back his desk and knocking over the overflowing recycling bin by the door), you find him weeping in frustration in the janitor's closet next door adhfnlkjadshfk

#bakugo #for some reason thinking abt him red at the height of his cheeks kinda teary cuz he already planned out his final w/ u as the muse ... #is doing something to me #trying to hide his sniffles and wiping his eyes with the heel of his hands. getting charcoal on his face #i feel like he's one of those artists who cries when something goes wrong.... #like mean angry tears bc he did something wrong and he's so sad but doesn't want to admit it #cuz he's also the type to literally destroy work over one single mistake #AND you have to be the one to comfort him. not n*de tho ofc #WAHHHH #kind of a carmy moment from the bear LOL #brain does not compute.... #and then when he's done freaking out he freaks out AGAIN realizing this means you'll have to be n*ked for someone else #cuz even tho u have... lowkey when u started working with him u stopped working with other artists #asdjlkfaskd AND WHAT IF IT'S KIRI OR DEKU #kiri i can see him getting on board with but deku #he's crying AGAIN LMFAOOO #afjadfj people after class are asking u if he's okay and youre like. we're not even dating but. no. he's not. a/ksjlfkasdjkl #shii posts #gen #art student bakugo

giiiiiirl what the fuck. the way everyone has been talking about tommy you'd think he was closer to 50 than 40. you're telling me the actor who plays him is only thirty-nine???

#I MEAN CALL ME OLD FASHIONED BUT I DO NOT THINK 8 YEARS IS THAT HUGE AN AGE GAP WHEN YOU'RE BOTH IN YOUR THIRTIES??? #CERTAINLY NOT WHEN YOU'VE DATED A WOMAN MORE THAN 15 YEARS OLDER THAN YOU??? #and ok. the actor and character's age need not be the same HOWEVER. #we don't fucking know what timeline 911 operates on and so we're going by my rules #a la all characters are their actors' age except eddie who's youngest #911 abc #tommy kinard #lou ferrigno jr

I feel like Pidge only knows to joke about certain crushes if they follow really obvious signs or like tropes. I absolutely think she'd bully Lance about Allura and then later have no fucking clue about him having feelings for Keith because he's a lot more subtle about it and is like "what?! No I bet Hunk so much money that he was just shipping for the sake of it! No! Lance why would you do this to me?!"

I also think this interpretation of Pidge was initially out to the team as a lesbian and would joke she'd get a girlfriend before Lance did, only to begin discovering that she's maybe more on the aroace side of things and would be a little pissed off that this would mean Lance probably would get a girlfriend before her

#i think lesbian pidge who begins to have an aroace arc is cool i like her #i mean shes trans no matter what in my head just every kind to a lot of people #but i like pidge whos very smug about maybe getting a gf before lance and then having this realisation #when hunk is like 'i mean do you even really wanna date pidge cause it kinda feels like you dont but you want to try it' #and it settles in #we're in this together pidge you and me both #voltron #vld #voltron: legendary defender #vld pidge #pidge voltron #klance #lance vld #lance voltron

the thing about romcoms is just- it's never meant to be 'is it believable?' but instead 'do you believe it?' do you believe these two characters are actually falling in love with each other??? do you believe their chemistry??? do you believe whatever obstacle is thrown in their way is legitimately something that might keep them apart for a time and not something that could be solved with one conversation?? do you believe that they believe they need to fake date for this very specific reason??? do you believe the reason why they're 'enemies' at the start, no matter how silly a misunderstanding it may be??? do you believe the grand romantic gesture fits the characters and is actually how one character would show their love to the other?? like!!!! it's about empathy and authenticity and feeling what the characters feel so strongly that even if it's a trope or a cliché it doesn't matter because you believe it

#this is what separates a good romcom from a bad romcom for me #if the conventions of the genre are used in a way that feels authentic to the characters then it'll never feel cheesy #one of my biggest pet peeves is some of the romcoms of the last decade who have this real 'we're not like other romcoms' energy #where they try to act like they're Different and move away from the usual tropes but it's shit bc that's not the point!!!! #those tropes and conventions are staples of the genre for a reason #it's how you utilise them and incorporate them that matters #like fuck me i hate action movies but i know if i go see one there's a 99% chance there'll be a car chase scene #bc that's usually a staple feature of an action movie and i mean idc but that's fine bc i know it has a function in the story to increase #the tension #and even at that someone who really loves action movies could probably tell me the difference between a good car chase scene & a subpar one #in the same way that just saying something is fake dating doesn't automatically make it good #but if i believe it and i'm in it with the characters? oh boy i'm about to feel so dELIGHTED for the next 90 minutes thank you so much #anyway i'm rewatching the lost city and every second of this movie is so silly in a fun way and fantastical but oH BOY DO I BELIEVE IT #mine

Ok one thing I want to say is as a trans man I’m personally uncomfortable if a lesbian wants to date me. However I don’t mind trans men who do date lesbians because that’s totally cool, I just wish people wouldn’t make a big fuss about it when I say that “I” don’t want to (im super attracted to men being one reason) and my childhood best friend who’s a lesbian is cool with it too

yeah!! it always confuses me when people say lesbians or trans men "can't do xyz," because you know. people CAN do whatever they want regardless of sexuality. and when people ask you if you if you think they can it's like....yes?? because they have free will?? I can't control someone's personal decisions??

#and then take that to mean you think ALL should and are forcing them into it #like. no. im aware most wouldn't. I just don't care about what a small portion is doing because it's none of my business #what their doing has nothing to do with me or anyone else for that matter. go worry about something else #trans men who date lesbians aren't invalidating other trans men who wouldn't because. they're separate people #and what one is doing says nothing about another #I hate this idea that if my experience with a label is different from others under the same label I'm somehow. invalidating them?? #no. im not. because we're two different people. that have nothing to do with each other. how insecure can you get #that you think other people's identities invalidate your own #mind your own business #asks #idk what to tag this as

Oh angsty love island yes pls! My personal imaginings involve bkg doing something dumb (maybe he couldn’t give you some emotional reassurance when you were feeling vulnerable and really needed it idk) and you’re genuinely upset with him. Imagining this bc I like thinking about the friendships that develop on this show!! Mina, jirou, ochako etc are quick to comfort you as genuine friends would. I love thinking that the relationships we develop with the girls are just as solid ❤️

yes !! 🥺 omg the friendships that grow on this show are so cute !! and i like to think — bakugou's biggest "red flag", i think, on a show like this, would be his hesitancy to open up ?? because i think if you genuinely didn't know him (and you wouldn't, right, at this point), it could easily be misconstrued for something scary ! and i would think your gal pals would want to help you keep from getting tunnel vision, would want to be a voice of reason for you 🥺

but the angst !! i will post it in response to this ask he he

i think the tension reaches its peak when kirishima comes in and pulls you for a date.

bakugou's pissed. livid. can't even believe this is happening to him—well, he can, because you're incredible and kind and funny and gorgeous, but everyone has been pretty respectful of his couple thus far, and now some new dickhead is coming in to ruin it.

of course it comes at an odd time in your developing relationship, when bakugou is struggling to open up completely to you, and in turn you're struggling to understand what that means for your potential future. he knows that you're wanting more from him and he's trying, he is, in all the small ways that he can. the tiny ways he hopes you notice.

it's nothing outright or too forward, nothing explicitly defined — and so when you sit down with kirishima for your rooftop date and the first thing out of his mouth is how gorgeous you look — you're not going to pretend it isn't nice.

and he spends the whole dinner like that: complimenting your smile and even your laugh, blushing openly if you look at him too closely, saying he's been watching every episode and that you were his favorite from the start. it's a lot, someone who is so open with their feelings, and he's big and huge and handsome — but at the end of it all, he's not bakugou.

the honesty and openness is attractive, has you aching just a tiny bit from the space bakugou won't close with you, but you tell kirishima that you're happy with him and that it would take a lot, genuinely, in order for you to be swayed completely. but the point of the show is to meet people, get to know them, and while you warn him that you're not interested in leaving your couple — if kirishima calls you to chat, you won't say no.

bakugou's sick at the sight of you smiling, coming back with a big meathead following behind you with an even bigger grin. the only thing that he can find relief in is that you're not holding hands, but he watches you, forlorn, as all the girls squander you away to the couches. as you laugh and smile at their teasing.

"it was great!" kirishima says to the guys, after a round of introductions. "we had a really nice time, she's gorgeous. can't wait to get to know her better. no hard feelings, man." he flashes his shiny teeth at bakugou, unaffected by the icy, lifeless glare he's at the end of.

if he gets into a fist fight, it'll get him kicked off the show; that's what bakugou has to keep in mind as kirishima lists off his ideal partner — which is you, in all but the name. and he's got his arms crossed and his leg won't stop jiggling and his teeth are about to shatter when he feels a hand softly toying with the hair at the nape of his neck.

he sees it's you and wastes no time; bakugou just grabs your hand and steers you away from everyone, back to the lounge chairs so you can talk quietly, and the fear in his eyes is so noticeable that you can't help but to pout at him, give him a kiss to try and make him feel better.

it placates him a little, but he's still all serious, watching you carefully as he murmurs, "so, how'd it go?"

"uh," you nod and look away, like you're thinking even though he knows you've just been recounting it to the girls. "it went good! he's very nice, very friendly, and i'm sure he'll find someone to couple up with in no time!"

and it should make him feel better, it should, but he can feel his hands starting to sweat in yours, his stomach starting to turn. you're all adults, and he shouldn't be bothered by you being honest — that this shitty-haired bastard is some nice guy — but his ugly insecurities want you to be more convincing.

"well," bakugou frowns, shakes his head before glancing back over his shoulder. "he's over there fuckin' sayin' he can't wait to get to know you, and shit." and — you don't really say anything to that, just stare at him, because you don't know what to say, and your silence only coils his nerves further. "y'told him—y'know, about me and you, didn't you?"

"well, yeah," you smile at him, gently, in an attempt to lighten his cloudy mood, but his eyes only darken. "of course i did."

"so why's he over there thinkin' you two are about to couple up or somethin'?"

you frown and glance over at kirishima — who further pisses off bakugou, because he's just watching. "did he say that? because i certainly didn't make it out to seem like i was—"

"i mean, look at 'im," bakugou snorts, openly pointing at him across the yard. "fuckin' cat that got the cream. what's he so smug about?"

and — you've never seen him like this. so angry, jealous to a point that it's a complete turn off. all your worries flare up, and all you can think about is how difficult it can be to talk to him regularly, much less now, when he's mad; is this how fights will go, in the future?

"i don't know, katsuki, i mean," you shrug as he frowns at you, his eyes narrowing. "we're here to meet people, so i told him that i would talk to him if he wanted, but i didn't make it—"

"oh, so that's why," he drops your hands as his eyes turn hard, like you've betrayed him in some way. guilt stings, sharp, as your eyes start to water. you're not blind to the fact that everyone is watching now, as his voice raises and he interrupts you every time you open your mouth. "because you're tellin' him—"

"can you let me speak, please?" your face twists and then bakugou's does, when he sees it, and instead of listening, he only runs a hand through his hair and shoves off the lounge chair.

he knows he's being a total dick, especially as denki and mina and ochako all dart past him on their way to you, but his fear has turned into something hideous he can't control, and if doesn't cool off, he'll say something he'll really come to regret.

kirishima comes to check on you, too, when your makeup starts to run, and it only makes bakugou feel even worse. you take your time getting ready for bed, are in the room with the girls for a long time as you change and brush your teeth. denki tries to talk to him once, but it only results in bakugou storming out of the house, slamming the back door behind him as he sits in front of the pool, alone. like always.

back turned to the remnants of something he's single-handedly ruined. like always.

#after this all the girls are like —...you sure about him tho ?? 👀 #lol bakugou is. not painting himself in a good light #but it's hard you know !! when you think about dating someone you're not expecting them to be open about talking to another person #but !! that's what the show is all about !! #it's hard all around 🥺 #bc you're NOT doing anything wrong !! #but that doesn't mean it doesn't make him nervous 🥺 #and we're not gonna pretend like kirishima isn't SOOOO charming alfjlajfa #✿ willow writes #✿ ask willow #✿ thoughts: bakugou #✿ theme: love island bakugou

OFMD briefly appears in the new "Coming Soon to Max" video that first aired last night before the Succession finale

#what do you mean by coming soon?! #HOW SOON?!?!!!! #but at least they remembered we exist #we're getting a premiere date/teaser on the first day of pride month aren't we? #I don't even care anymore #just give me something #ofmd #our flag meets death #Youtube

I've been Rewatching Sonic X with my Buddy Pal Friend Cohort recently. It has Blatantly Problematic Elements and the first season is Incomprehensible in some parts And a Slog in others. But it's one of my Favorite characterizations of Sonic, and he and Knuckles are my Favorites in the show. Amy in the beach episode Is Absolutely Adorable though so I Had to draw her.

#Amy when her Romantic Thoughts are “what if we ran together on the beach” “what if he looked at me” “what if he held my hand” It's So Silly #They Should Not date nor do I ship them in Any Way Whatsoever however. #Even if I Didn't headcanon Sonic as AroAce he would be a Terrible Partner in this universe. (And alot of the Other Ones too) #Sonic in this Episode seems like he doesn't even Understand that she's Obviously Pining for him. And then the Cruise Episode: #“Amy has these supposed ”romantic“ feelings for me so if I tell her I feel the same I can manipulate her into getting me off this boat!” #“what do you mean she thinks we're going to ”date“ now. I don't even know what that is!” <- the way I read his Stupid Fucking Actions. #I don't know where I was going with this Aside from Shipping Isn't Intended unless it's the One Sided Canonical Kind #sonic fanart #sonic x #amy rose #sonic the hedgehog #the kiwi scribbling zone

.

#instead of “everyone in the peloton can tell that tadejonas are pining for each other” #i propose the concept of: tadejonas who are *already together* like full-on established relationship living together part of the time etc #but somehow. no one else in the peloton has figured it out? #and like they didn't MEAN to hide it from people okay it wasn't on purpose #it just started out that way because when they realized they wanted to try it they ALSO realized that sooo much could go wrong #so they were like “we'll keep it pretty quiet until we're sure that whatever this is between us is real and will work out” #and obviously it does work out but when they try to tell people it somehow never seems to go according to plan #like somehow everyone leaves those conversations having completely missed the part where they say they're dating #and instead landed somewhere in the ballpark of “tadejonas are massively crushing on each other we have to help them” #so everyone is CONVINCED that they're pining away for each other and they keep trying to set them up in increasingly wild schemes #and tadejonas are just like. how do we explain to these people who we know and love that we are already in a committed relationship #random ass riders from like. every team tripping over themselves to help out the cause in the NAME OF LOVE and tadejonas are just like 🧍‍♂️ #and like they feel kind of bad about it but also its kind of a game now to see how obvious they can be before someone catches on #random rider: jonas i promise tadej is totally into you okay he like. wouldn't shut up about you at XYZ race okay he definitely likes you #jonas (adjusting his scarf to hide the hickeys tadej left and jingling the keys of the house he shares with tadej): if you say so #what if i wrote something

[mixelation]

in theory i don't LIKE when ships start sexual and THEN move into emotional/romantic, but also this is the only way I can see Kakashi/Sasori going. T-T neither one would willing move into an actual relationship with the other, but both are perfectly capable of "no, it's JUST SEX, and i would not do anything insane for this weird man i'm fucking. he means nothing to me don't worry about it"

#meanwhile in HD deidara THINKS his relationship with itachi is just vaguely friendly but now they're having sex #but itachi thinks they've been dating for years so. idk how to qualify this one #deidara: WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'RE DATING. WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN #itachi: ?? i literally hold your hand every time we're in public #(deidara thought this was just itachi being a control freak and preventing him from starting fights or w/e itachi thinks he'll do) #(deidara is..... dumb) #(this is only 12% of the the reason itachi does this) #fic: terrible thing

1/ this bout of comms almost done and 2. spawndate in 3 days so I have! been fixin up some stuff for the itch store. that'll go live on the 29th! right now there Is a pack of the lineart stuff I did last year for folks who found that agreeable, still free to grab! for practicing coloring, or if you wanna mess around with colors when ur not feelin like doing lineart, or if you wanna try to figure out colors in a drastically different style than what you usually go for. or if u just wanna look at it that's cool too. small announcement that is all see u in a few

#bakuspeech #update on the situation: is mostly contained. it'll take a fair bit to make up for how much it's kicked us in the nuts #but it's doable. just Very annoying and tedious and sudden and overall it just sucks #esp. like right up close to my birthday lmao. like if it happened earlier this year I'd be like alright. sucks shit but par for the course #this year has already been so fucked up. this might as well happen #but since it's happened in december it really brings on the feeling of like. fr bitch? #right in front of my cake? me the birthday boy? the specialest fucking boy? #but well. theres a Thing around here that's ur birthday usually being the unluckiest day #but also we're the kind of folks who track death dates rather than birthdays. like up until very recently #all four of my grandparents have unspecified birthdays. their birth years aren't even correct. on paper they're like #a few years older than they actually are #and my granddad on my dads side was even from a family of some means so it wasnt even a class thing #man. last year Something was happening around this time too. idr what but it also sucked #mmm. well. what is really just is. and I've already taken a hammer to it anyhows #I'll do the same for the birthday thing. it Will be fucking good. I take a hammer to it #I'm very glad I still get some commissions even tho it was practically right up to noel #you guys are very generous. I don't say it as often as I should I think but I'm very very thankful for the support #glad to hang out around here still. glad to have the folks I have here. thank u for chillin with me #please look forward to the itch store update. got a new thing along with the old things ported over. stay tuned

[transmasc-rose]

Ok I've gotten through s6e1-s6e8.

Are we not going to spend time dealing with the massive traumas Any just went through.

Like. Being killed by the Doctor. The whole "being trapped while pregnant and not even knowing until she's giving birth". Having her baby functionally die in her arms.

No? We're just gonna move on? Ok.

#rose rambles #MAYBE THEY WILL TOUCH ON IT LATER. #but its gotten to episode 8 and no one has even like. Went “hey Doctor why are you dating our daughter” #or “Hey Doctor what do you Mean we're leaving her at he hospital and not helping her” #or “Hey Doctor you know I was a false entity that was actually pregnant and imprisoned in a case #and you were working me hrough my birth WITHOUT TELLING ME ANY OF THIS. UNTIL YOU WOKE ME UP MID BIRTH WITH BARELY AN EXPLANATION.“ #come on. play into the horror of it if you're going to play with the horror of it you know #and don't brush it off. It just feels like they are brushing Amy and Rory off. #Season 6 could be so good if it was good.

has anyone else noticed that almost all, if not all, my meta/"fighting" with other people is just me describing what happens in any given scene

i barely even embellish or speculate. i'll mention recurring themes every once in a while, but for the most part i'm just writing out a play-by-play summary of what the characters actually do, because some people cannot be trusted to use their eyes let alone their brains

#i don't even want to say it's not that deep because it IS deep #but it's like we're all at the beach having a nice swim #and you are scuba-diving to the bottom of the ocean to find fish no human being has seen before #it's like you're trying to Win at watching the drama and outsmart the writers but you're playing a completely different game #betting at poker with fucking monopoly money #posting this and then logging off to keep from yelling at another person lmao #temperature literally rose from someone calling top ''the nastiest'' #AFTER FUCKING BOSTON TRICKED HIM INTO HAVING SEX WITH HIM BY SHOWING HIM A TWO YEAR OLD PHOTO HE TOOK OF HIS FRIENDS KISSING LIKE A CREEP #AND A FAKE SEX TAPE #JUST BECAUSE TOP WANTED TO DATE HIS FRIEND WHO HE LOOKS DOWN ON LIKE WHAT #NAH NAH NAH #THE DELUSION IS FUCKING STAGGERING #SORRY THAT TOP IS... KIND OF MEAN??????????????????????????? #I'M FUCKIGN DOING IT AGAIN OH MY GDO SLKFJWFJ #I FUCKING HATE IT HERE #ofs liveblog

[demonstars]

like whats actually edating

#mind obviously went back to dnf like my mind always finds it here i'm in the dnf blog if i wanted to make another post i'd probably not be #doing it here Um anyway LIKE what is an internet relationship. the existance of a diferent medium means that what we understand by dating #is completely lost theres just not whatever courting or predating medium that kind of exist for people when they date? it obviously cant #develop naturally because the situation isnt natural but nature is dictated by what we're living #and dream more than george is peak new generation of chrnonically online tens #who have a difficult time adapting to social etiquete and well he also is unluckiest man alive but we're not talking about that. When we ar #forced to reinterpret what it means to be dating someone like the weird shift to not-friends we Theorize dnf Maybe coudl've had #makes total sense because its just not a common situation in the slightless. having a mayor key point of your life (figuring out youre #actually queer) be the talk of the month by a thousan people that Know making a joke at your expense will bring them attention is fucking #traumatizing #and that shit is just normalized by the context in which it is enacted????? AND WE JUST LET IT?????????AND NOBODY PAUSES AND THINKS WOW THI #IS KINDA FUCKED UP???????' #Dating is both a normative concept and a experience: we know what dating entailsbut we never actually #know how someoene else experiences it because theyre simply not us and thus we just dont know lol . anyway i lost the thread #dnf weirdest edaters ever i'll defend you forever

Y'all I am observing someone in the Half-Life fandom under a microscope right now for personal enrichment because they have the WILDEST take on Barney x Gordon

#tf? not tf2 #my friend pointed me to them because he thought it was a joke blog then they called him a proshipper?? #cause it really feels like a joke blog but they just keep arguing with people?? #the main thing we can't wrap our minds around is that person saying the two have a 20 year age gap and therefore that's predatory #because Gordon was in suspension for 20 years #a 27 year old man can't date a 40 year old according to that blog #obviously if you find or know the blog I'm talking about leave them alone #we here to observe from a safe and respectful distance #we're still losing our minds like WHAT DO YOU MEAN
