#and more temperate

[littlenimart]

early days in the Garden… i love thinking about Aziraphale at peak cute and naïve cherub :^]

#good omens #crowley #aziraphale #the Job story in 2x02 was feeding me.. Michael Sheen is so good at making him feel young and even more self-righteous and invincible #before he has reason to doubt literally anything and be tempered by that.. he’s so cocky and smug in a lovable way #this was meant to be a quick sketch and then OOPS Too Much Rendering. but I’m free now. letting it go.

there are many retellings & adaptional choices i really don't like when it comes to writing new stories about old myths, and that i feel are boring or ignoring interesting points & implications or unfamiliar with the topic or ancient cultural context in a way that rubs me the wrong way. BUT the way some people on here talk about myth retellings as if retelling them is in and of itself a bad thing, or that retellings are somehow 'staining' the 'meaning' of the 'original myth', and Particularly posts that just seem to be hating on the people writing these books not for any real constructive point but just because they think Change Is Bad is going to make me feel bonkers insane fr. come on guys

#something more to say abt how you can't have a prescriptive approach to myth tempered by an understanding of cultural context but i'll add #it bc i need to chew over the wording for a sec #thoughts #anyways not phrasing it like this in the original post bc it's too blunt but i feel like people saw real complaints about e.g. mm & decided #'oh this is a thing it's cool to hate now!' without understanding any of the reasoning behind it. gah

cw: babies!!!! you’re also referred to as “ma” once

okay but like,,,,,first time dad Bakugou giving his baby their first bath after coming home!!! you’re fluttering around the kitchen, trying to make sure you have your daughters towel ready, her baby safe soap, a tiny washcloth, that her teeny tiny pajamas are in the dryer.

it’s only when you take a second to ask Bakugou something do you finally just—pause. your gaze instantly softens, a lovesick smile inching on your face as you watch your big buff pro hero husband hunch over the kitchen sink.

your daughter is resting in the baby bath seat, lilac colored and reclined back. she squirms when Bakugou lets the warm water run over her naked, fat little belly. her face scrunches at the new sensation, fists balling up against her chest. he coos at her, gentle,

“I know, ya little princess. Feels weird on ya, doesn’t it?” he asks her, voice so small under the running water. he cups his hand, holds a handful of water, tilts her fat cheek up to let it slide in her neck rolls that always smell like milk. she whines at that, sniffles and hiccups before she cries. you go to take a step forward, to console her, but Bakugou is so patient.

“It’s alright,” he kisses her tears away. “Daddy’s just tryna help you.” he runs the water all over her body, and paired with his softly spoken words, does she finally quiet after a few seconds. her little body trembles with the aftermath, pouty lips puffy and he can’t help but smooth his hand over the softness of her face.

“Yer a crybaby, just like your ma.” he whispers to her, grinning when that breaks you out of your stupor to smack him on the shoulder. you both laugh at that, and you finally feel the peace that is your little family. you lean against Bakugou’s shoulder, pressing a kiss to his jaw before looking at your daughter again.

“You’re gonna be a great dad,” you mumble into his skin. he doesn’t say anything, but you can feel his shuddering breath, and the calmness that blankets the rest of your house.

#ugly crying on the r floor #I thought about this earlier and forgot and then remembered again #and I was soooo happy bc I love this thought #first time baby baths were a nightmare with my niece LOL #she was colicky and hated everything so what was supposed to be a cute n sweet moment #was just her screaming to the tops of her lungs lol #but I believe bkg has a very well tempered first child which makes him want more #then the second one is HIM all over again and he’s like. thanks I’m good no more for me pls AKSJDKD #okay bye I’m gonna catch up on the dash 🏃🏽‍♂️ #—new treat in the streets! 🍫 #bakugou treats! 🍬 #dad bkg

You mentioned emotional stability, which I get, but it made me think of the meme about ‘how do you not cry when people yell at you’ and I’m wondering both: whether there’s as much yelling in law as in tv, and whether you’ve ever cried while doing law

Nowhere near as much yelling as TV!

The only people I've ever had yell at me are non-attorneys who are representing themselves and who do not understand how this whole system works, and generally speaking...they're not in a position where their yelling is hurtful? Every time it's happened it's been more like a person throwing a tantrum, and I just...can't take that seriously. No one I actually work with (or opposing counsel) has ever managed to yell at me. I have cut off a couple people who were working themselves in that direction and redirected things back to being civil.

Frankly: I will not put up with that shit.

The list of people who are allowed to yell at you in a professional setting is very, very short, and the circumstances where that is appropriate are few and far between. It does happen in some workplaces but that's a question of office culture and individual shitty temper. My boss would never yell at me--it's unprofessional--and if he did he'd have my resignation on his desk by the end of the day. Opposing counsel is not entitled to yell at me; I am their professional peer and I don't have to put up with it outside the courtroom, and if it's inside a courtroom, the judge is likely to shut that down.

We're lawyers. In this profession, it's widely seen that losing your temper is a sign that you have lost your professional regulation and it discredits your argument. That's true in and out of the courtroom.

I have come near tears in court, but mostly because if I hit a certain point of rage I will tear up. Twice, I've had a judge hand down a ruling so wildly unjust and unexpected that it threw me off balance and into immediate fury, but I've always been able to keep it together and carry on without actually crying.

Mostly the practice of law is just not that personal. Even if someone is yelling, it's not at me as an individual. I don't make the laws, I don't decide the facts, I just take these things and lay them out. If someone's mad, it's not usually a personal attack. And you learn to deal with and understand that kind of anger--often frustration--as you go.

#my lawyer parents are both of the mindset that when you lose your temper you lose the argument #which resulted in a childhood where we didn't get yelled at we got lectured #i can recall very very few occasions where either of them raised their voice at us #and like yes anger does not negate a valid argument #it is appropriate in some circumstances #but most of the time it does not make a person more credible.

cant keep their quadrants straight

#the solkat was in fact not out of my system #really funny kismesis dynamic because its not actual real hate rather than a synced temper tantrum between the two #their pitch flirting was pretty weak anyway #i hate myself more than you hate yourself NUH UH and im better at you in smash bros #then karkat meekly asks if theyre still friends and sollux tells him to shut up and boots up a show on discord to watch together #pitch hatred based on the other guy knowing too much about you and caring really hard about your wellbeing and its embarassing #love. its love #homestuck #egg art #solkat #sollux captor #karkat vantas

OPLA Sanji and Zoro fighting for Luffy’s affections is very good to me, because for Sanji its just a fun and flirty little game, he likes Luffy and Zoro is handsome if uncouth, so how things turn out doesn’t really matter, they’re all just getting to know each other and getting along. But for Zoro the stakes could not be higher. If Sanji keeps insinuating that he cant take care of Luffy alone he’ll bite off his dick swear to god

#its such a fun reversal of their animanga counterparts because Sanji tends to be more dramatic and sensitive #while Zoro is relaxed and only gets riled up with the sillier things #It makes me want to see Taz’s Sanji be more neurotic I wanna see his pride and temper in action outside of his interactions with Zeff #I know he has it in him!! #my post #opla #zosanlu #one piece #zolu #sanlu #zosan

Silly little comic, close-ups of panels below the cut

#fun little speculative evolution/biology stuff #I imagine half-foots being highly social and more active at dusk and night compared to other humans #many half-foot communities live low to the ground in tropical-temperate forested areas #some communities closer to dwarven towns choosing to burrow instead of remaining only above ground #burrowing half-foots tending to have shorter heights and tails compared to their above ground counterparts #they’d also more align to dwarven beauty standards compared to elven and tallmen (to an even higher degree) #chilchuck #marcille donato #chilchuck tims #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #fanart #myart #comic #I don’t think chilchuck would be strictly a burrowing half-foot but he’d have a lot of the traits of them that helps him explore dungeons

When i was 13-14 i spent a whole year watching all 12 seasons of Bones over and over again (i think i managed four rewatches in total) spent my whole winter and summer holidays in bed watching this show day and night not talking to anyone thinking noone gets me the way bones gets me shes everything i want to be, i should probably become an anthropologist and NO ONE thought hey maybe we should take this kid to a doctor and get her diagnosed :/

A big part of turning 21 and going through that whole thing really was realizing that the idealistic friendship dynamics I’ve always daydreamed over in my head don’t exist & that in reality most friendships you’ll cultivate in your life will be a series of compromises. And maybe like 1 to 3 ride or die friends at BEST that shit is so rare and it gets rarer the older I am

#And I’ve always been a friendship girl like I’m a hopeless romantic but I’m just as much if not more of a hopeless platonic #I’ve really had to temper my expectations lately and honestly I’ve also been sequestering myself more as a result of it #Idk if I’m adjusting to this revelation well tbh I feel like I’m disillusioned w most of my friends lately #And it causes me to burn out and be a shitty friend to them in turn too #It’s just a never ending cycle of me not admitting to myself that maybe that glove doesn’t fit #And I’m quite literally forcing it onto my hand and it’s cutting off my circulation #But I’m too sentimental of my glove to just stop wearing it . Idk if this makes any sense but it does in my head
