Steve really looked at these severely traumatized kids regularly giving him shit, threatening to prosecute him, dragging him into danger left and right and said:

'Yeah! Yeah, give me six of my own. I want to do this for the rest of my life.'

And I think that's beautiful.

#steve harrington #the party #erica sinclair #Steve said he always wanted a large family #but before meeting dustin #that was probably kore of an abstract thought #because he'd never really spent much time with people younger than him #because that could have hurt his cool guy image #and then he meets these little shits #who are antagonistic #and traumatized #and don't listen to him for shit #it would have been so easy to turn that into a reality check for him #but instead it became confirmation that this really is what he wants #its how I know he's gonna be a good dad one day #the foundation is already there

Halsin and Wyll deserve their babies ever after ending.

#BG3 Musing #Halsin #Wyll Ravengard #wyllsin #(i'm sorry for clogging the tag forgive me) #someday i'll figure out a different tag #listen i promise i'll stop eventually i'm just really hung up on the moon rn #wyll: i've always thought about having a child of my own #halsin: *nine wagonfuls of orphans in tow* alright bet #(laezel does too thank you secret epilogue ilu) #what if they had a little half elf they adopted together and think about #how she would light up and reach for wyll every time he came home #how halsin would lean against the door frame and watch them together and just be...so so full of love he doesn't know what to do #how he still thinks time to time that wyll will regret coming with him and tossing aside his options when he's still so young #but then he sees the two of them and hopes in his heart of hearts that he genuinely wants to be there #and will stay for at least a little while longer #though he'd never ask him to - never expect him to

heads up: reader struggling w friendships (feeling uninvolved + unheard)

felix hears the way you sigh as you come back into the room, and doesn't move quite yet. he knows you well enough. he listens as your footsteps draw nearer, and you pass in front of him as quickly as you can before throwing yourself onto the opposite end of the couch. it's enough to make him raise a brow--usually you'll sit next to him because you like being close to him--but he can't take his eyes off the tv screen quite yet.

"everything okay?" he says as he pulls one side of his headset back, and then he already hears changbin and jisung responding. "not--not you guys. hold on, i'll still be here--" he mutes his mic, and looks over to you. "babe?"

you curl in on yourself, frowning. "not really."

"you wanna talk about it?"

"you're busy--"

he shoves his headset down so it hangs around his neck. "i can multitask. once we're done with this, i'll stop, alright?"

you pout and he sees it from the corner of his eye. "i don't want to bother you."

"you aren't," he promises. "i'm listening."

"it's just... more of the same-old." you shift so you're a little closer to him. "feeling like some of my friends are closer with each other so i'm just kind of playing fifth wheel, platonically. other friends not listening to me when i speak meanwhile i feel like i file every little fact away..."

he's heard it before. he looks up, and he sees how upset you are, and he debates for a moment. he's going to play again with changbin and jisung this weekend... surely they can carry on without him? he pulls up his headset, unmutes, and says he's gotta go. all it takes is him mentioning your name for them to stop teasing him: felix wouldn't be ditching them if it weren't somewhat serious. he logs back out, and turns over, moving in to wrap his arms around you.

"hey." he smiles. "i love you. you wanna go out?" he says. "we can get dinner. talk more. maybe walk by the river?"

he knows you well: getting out helps. and walking by the river always helps you open up more. you peck his lips as you get up to find your shoes.

at least felix has your back when you need it the most.

"It’s interesting that Juan’s attempt at relieving pain is through closeness and hugging and love. When he forgives Cesare at the end saying how they’re brothers and wants to be together, I think that’s genuine. That’s the first time you realize what he’s always wanted." (x)

#“I glimpse us cesare. two brothers in harmony. walking together.” #francois saying cesare refused to listen to juan because he *knows* he can change his mind about killing him still living in my mind #something about cesare humilating juan and making fun of him and even set him up to die at forli by not warning him about ludovico's army #and yet juan still loves him anyway because his jealousy of cesare is unserious unlike cesare's jealousy of juan which is a deadly hatred #ngl juan is so funny because he'd rather die than being sappy. he's too narcissistic and prideful to reach out for cesare or his family #but he only reached out to him in his final moment when he was vulnerable and going through it. it was too late rip #confessing to cesare that he's a fuck-up and he's always been in pain etc i missed you we should love each other wah wah type of speech #juan borgia #cesare borgia #the borgias #juan and cesare #david oakes #francois arnaud #theborgiasedit #periodedits #perioddramaedit #tvedit #cinemapix #tvarchive #by jen

God Uther and Arthur's trash talking this episode is murdering me hdfjkgh Arthur is like "Yeah, I won't need luck to beat you in a tournament" and Uther just turns around like "At least i'm not some bitchass trust fund kid who hasn't done a day's work in his life LOL" like SIR THAT IS YOUR SON STOP

#why he's so mean to him always #i mean he's RIGHT #but STILL RUDE #also at least he's responsible for the death of millions like there's that #bbc merlin #prev scene with the tourney thugs bullying merlin I wanted arthur to come in there and stop them #but i also know if merlin was there listening to the father-son trash talk he wouldn't defend arthur he'd just be giggling

KYLAR USED TO PLAY THE VIOLIN ‼️‼️‼️ i wanna encourage him to pick up his old hobby :3 i want him to play me a song :D

the way i sobbed with joy when i saw madison's post. so smart of them to ask vrel that ofmfmfmfkl

like. i bet he was really good when he was younger too!! his parents probably bought him a tonne of music lessons when he was younger, so he'd have the foundations to be a really good player... but he most likely lost interest in the violin entirely after his parent's transformation.

i think if you were to subtly bring up that you LOVE a man that can play music he's picking back up soooo quick. would play any song you'd like but you have to promise to kiss the tips of his fingers better bc they have blisters now :(

i also think it'd be healthy for kylar!! (YAY) and it'd give him something to do rather than stalk you!! now he plays an instrument!! albeit for you but it's really nice to listen to soooo... you choose to ignore that he picked up his old hobby just to impress you <3

#hatkuuasks #it probably sounds rusty the first time he picks it up but after he's writing you his own pieces and playing them for you!!! #always wants a kiss after he plays for you!! #if you started singing along as he plays i think he'd stop midway through just to listen to you sing //// #kuuskylarposting

Some disjointed thoughts about namesakes and daughters and learning to live the life you have instead of the one you thought you would. 

Now with a part 2.

#word of honor #wen kexing #zhou zishu #zhang chengling #gu xiang #shan he ling #WoH #SHL #my arts #rhymeswithwoh #I'm back baby #with some feelings #i drew the second set of images like MONTHS ago #and only just got back to the rest today #soz about zcl looking different in each pic #i sorta based his look around liu haikuan #bc i think he'd make a great older zcl #listen i just wanted to draw zzs holding a baby #and then this happened #anyway needless to say fullsize is always better #woh/tyk

[levmada]

ik it's hard to imagine levi being any more powerful than he is now, but imagine if isayama went through with the new hairstyle he proposed, w/ levi keeping his undercut but growing his hair out long enough to put in a ponytail.

IMAGINE HIM WITH A HAIRTIE BETWEEN HIS TEETH AS HE TIES UP HIS HAIR GOODBYE

#i would bat at it like a cat and he'd get mad at me #pfttt and levi always has spare hair ties so sasha and hange always know to go to him #tho it means getting chewed out for being irresponsible #'im not made of these fucking things you know' #PFGGIGVEO #look. listen. #braiding it #levi ackerman #levi.thoughts #levi hc

[chaomother]

Omgomg Shadow and his scared darling on a trip/mission together and darling is always walking behind him with a stiff body language and he's just deep in thoughts

"Such a weird behavior..... so weak this one, so... fragile. I haven't even yelled at her, let alone attack them or spar with her. Pity, and here I thought I had a challenger....

..I want this one. This one is mine. I'm the only one she's afraid of for no reason and no one else, I make sure of that. This one is my property now. This is my little lady right here. I'll make sure you never have to feel actual fear ever again"

[use of 'good girl']

the sensation of a shaky hand grabbing his shoulder knocks shadow out of his ruminations, and he cranes his neck to discern you behind him. "what is it, [name]?" he asks, watching with his predacious gaze as your ears twitch.

"um, i just wanted to thank you for coming with me...!" you tentatively express the words that've been lodged in your throat since the beginning of this lengthy trip.

although, in the first place, he had the option not to. you still don't understand why he chose to join you; but even if you were still apprehensive towards shadow, you were still appreciative to have him by your side. his inordinate strength and intelligence would indisputably help you.

a soft 'tch' sound escapes from his clicking lips. "i don't need your thanks," shadow retorts, "i do need you not to weigh me down. so stick close, stop walking behind me."

"oh!" you audibly squeak, feeling increasingly more aware of your own sense of sense. you shuffle your feet a little faster, setting beside him⁠—but still a beat behind his pace.

fuck, how weak you are... he loves it, he loves it, he loves it.

stopping dead in his tracks, shadow glowers at you in congruence with holding his hand out. he's wordless, the ravening appetite smoldering in his gut pervading into his chest with its unfamiliar heat.

you gulp, slowly extending your hand and sliding your palm into his own. this was weird, you thought...

"good girl," he drawls, intertwining your fingers together; sealing your fate with him forever.

#shadow the hedgehog x reader #blurbs #i will forever have it in my head that shadow is OBSESSED with holding his partner's hand #be he held hands a lot with maria #esp when protecting her or helping her when she got sick #basically he'll always be OK with manhandling you. thanks for listening to my ted talk #i imagine he'd even prefer it bc he can 'control'/guide you better if you just go slack for him LMAO #i am so weak for shadow with a timid partner so so weak

I feel like Alastor actually has more modern knowledge than he lets on. Maybe not of a visual medium, but whatever is on the radio. Does he know what tiktok dance is trending? No, but he does know the top 40 hits of any year since he's been dead(of course he prefers the genres from his time.) I could see him using this knowledge to throw people off their game. Like, of course he knows what kpop is and who Verosika is. However, could he point her out in a line-up, no. I also like the idea of some random pop song he doesn't even like getting stuck in his head and him accidentally playing it out loud. Also playing like kpop or Marina style songs on purpose to throw off his enemies and like the b99 meme when they ask him why he's doing this he just turns his head 360 to look at them and says "No one will ever believe you." I could also see him playing song that are culturally/time period relevant to the different hotel residents as a uniquely him way of comforting them, once he's slowly grown to have an inkling of care for them. I wonder what his modern guilty pleasure songs/genres would be.

#hazbin hotel #alastor #hazbin alastor #fanon #hazbin theory #i guess he'd know some outdated memes too #radio hosts are always a bit behind on those #at least the ones here in the midwest #hed know news too #and sports #i listen to radio at work #and it got me thinking this

suggestion do you have... any wants? like obviously you do but like? suggestion my guy my ourple boy. both the easiest and hardest to write. you need a skill to say something to move conversation along but it doesn't fit any skill in particular? about 80% of the time you can have suggestion say it and it will make sense. but like actually characterizing him... how do i define you dude... what makes your character tick... urgh. i dont get you yet. im trying to understand but you are difficult.

#chemi chats #there are some skills that i just dont understand yet and that just means i have to work on their character study chapter #im reading his bio and i think suggestion is a good manipulator and it's instinctive and he tries not to feel bad about it? #he's clever!! charming!! friends with savvy and drama. planting seeds in the mind and coaxing them to grow towards him like he's the sun. #a crude oil reservoir lying beneath a carefully laid flower bed. taps into the roots. the plants don't know any better than to drink. #he's great at sensing what makes people tick and uses that to his advantage. he needs goals to look forward to so he knows how to best #pull the strings to get them there. otherwise he's a bit aimless. he likes being useful. and since influencing others is helpful #he just keeps doing it? because it's what he's good at. and he tries to convince himself its fun and cool and just cuz hes charming and #it's his role as a skill and manipulation isnt thaaaat bad because it's helpful to them after all... but he does feel bad sometimes. #oh im listening to his voice lines and i just got to ''brother you should have put me in front of a firing squad'' and im sad about him now #but what do you want for short term little guy?? probably for people to like him. he likes chatting with people. i bet he'd like genuine #conversations with no strings attached but there's always some part of him filing information and tidbits away that he can't turn off #subconsciously figuring out things he can hold over them or how he can nudge them into thinking someth-/wait.../ no. no he's just talking. #he's /supposed/ to just be talking stop analyzing them stop falling back into that just have a normal conversation!! but he can't help it.. #hm. this is all really helpful for his chapter. he and empathy are very alike but also different. very interesting... #task: swept up #okay good talk everyone i think i understand him a little better now lmao?? still gotta figure him out some more hes not fully there but ye #also i think he goes by whatever pronoun you think he'd use. just ''oh what do /you/ think i am hm?? what /would/ i use; do you think?? :)' #funny fella. i love you.

sci let's say you could right, like it had to happen, if you could date either Peter, Wade or Nate, but the other two get heartbroken and are miserable. Who would you chose? you get to date and marry one of them, but it means the other two have to live in misery.

i'd marry nate (wade and peter can live in misery together)

#sci speaks #sorry. i know wade and peter would make me miserable. i'd rather they be miserable together. #i know i always used to say i've got a crush on wade and i do. but i do not want to marry him. he'd be a nightmare. #and he'd probably get me killed somehow. #i think nate and i would be a good match. i'd just lounge about on his island and wait for him to come home. and spend all his money. yeah. #i'll listen to him talk about politics and stuff and just be like mhm. yeah. uh-huh. yep. in slutty slutty underwear. #yeah. yeah. #sorry to wade but i'm not as needy as him. i'm secure. #i can be left on my own without feeling murderous intent. #nate doesn't need to watch me. or keep me on a leash. i'm good he can keep me.

#your pretty face and electric soul #yeah listening to lana and thinking about him. won't apologize for it anymore #james spader #alan shore #boston legal #* #my mom likes the episodes where they go on trips I do too #and I like this one when alan is serious when he's really focused and bothered by injustice and invested in the case #[PSH in Patch Adams voice] this is serious! business! #it's nice to picture him thinking about real things. they show it on the show sometimes but not too much. not as much as the practice even #in this ep when he talks about his friend who survived katrina or another fave scene when he talks to his jewish friend abt ישראל #you can tell how bothered he is. about things that are wrong. about the horrible things that happen #he thinks and feels so deeply. he's so sensitive to the world and I think disturbed he can't do more. it eats at him he gets stressed #and this can be a silly show and a means for escape sometimes but idk. also nice to know he gets exasperated too #that he'd be someone safe to talk to when you get scared or angry or upset with the world #denny doesn't always listen to his serious thoughts... #I wanna sit with him on that balcony and let him talk. rub his back until his headache is gone. tell him to get enough sleep

the absolute heartbreaking irony between Maverick and Goose, Maverick the dangerous bad boy who everyone knows will never settle down and Goose who has a wife and a kid who he loves with his whole heart... Goose and Carole being the perfect couple and parents.

and it’s Maverick who ends up raising their kid. 

But it’s not “ends up” in a bad way, Mav doesn’t raise Goose and Carole’s kid out of guilt. He truly loves that boy and knew from the first time he held Bradley in the hospital after he’d been born that he would do anything for that kid. Carole knew that too when she knew she was going to die, she knew nobody but Mav could care for her baby after she’s gone. 

So it’s Maverick, the one who everyone thought would die and burn early, who raises the son of his two best friends. 

#top gun maverick #pete maverick mitchell #IM STILL ON MAVDAD BULLSHIT #IM ALWAYS ON MAVDAD BULLSHIT #but also Mav and Goose relatonship #listen im currently writing a whole fic about it #also the whole Mav doing anything for Bradley? YEAH OFC THAT INCLUDES TAKING A MISSILE FOR HIM #he'd die for him and he almost did but Bradley Bradshaw did the uno reverse card #'OH YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD JUST DIE SAVING MY LIFE? SILLY OLD MAN YOU FORGOT ITS YOU WHO RAISED ME! I'M AS STUBBORN AS YOU!' #Mav: -pikachu meme- #Ghost Goose: -clapping- THATS MY BOY

Ok so I was wondering like

Top 0.005% of listeners. That's Pretty Damn Small. But I was wondering Just how small...

357.1k monthly listeners

0.005% of 357.1k is... just under 18...

Guys. I'm within the top 20 listeners for IAMX. Period. 🫣

#speculation nation #16K MINUTES OF MY 59K TOTAL MINUTES FOR THE YEAR... #A LITERAL 27% OF ***ALL*** MUSIC I LISTENED TO THIS YEAR........ #cant help gettin emo i guess #like i knew he'd be indisputably my top artist but. holy fuck. #THIS ALSO ISNT INCLUDING THE SNEAKER PIMPS ALBUM... which ive listened to obsessively too #as an extension of the obsession with his music. bc he sings in it. #SOMETIMES AN ARTIST HITS U LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN and ur left like. yeah. yeah . #helps that hes got so many albums so i spent Months slowly making my way through them all. #but then i just kept listening to him bc his music just... scratches an itch in my brain idk. #in part it's the grief. Metanoia was a crutch of an album after my uncle died. #and also with my cat... it was just. nonstop IAMX. for Months. #ive been branching out more again recently bc i do like some variety in the music i listen to #but if i want music but dont know what to play it just always ends up going back to IAMX #because it's dependable. it's enjoyable. it's Comfortable. #his music feels like a reset button for me. like returning to a dark room to sleep at night. #it's not dark for the sake of darkness. but for the comfort of it. existing honestly. existing without fear of judgement. #and bringing the analogy together i really have listened to his music to help me sleep a few times #not often just bc i usually dont listen to music as i sleep. im a light sleeper so i need white noise. #but there were a few times i found myself without a working fan. so i turned to his music to act as white noise instead. #not actual white noise of course. but the function of it. the Comfort. the familiarity. #pick one of his lowkey albums and just let it keep going. and it works. it does. #so like. it makes sense. it does. i understand entirely why i rank so high in his monthly listeners. #it's just a bit mind boggling to actually see the tangible numerical value hfkshdjd bc. man. man...
