#bedtime reminder

[kingkatsuki]

Sanemi hates drinking, and yet he finds himself seated in the local rowdy Izakaya facing you as you throw back another glass of sake.

He thinks Uzui is getting you drunk on purpose, leaning over to fill your empty cup as you give him the cutest smile. A smile that Sanemi wishes he could steal from him as he hunches over his still full cup, scrunching his nose in irritation.

“I don’t know why you joined to be miserable.”

The words ring out, but he’s not miserable— not even close. Not when he’s watching you giggle beside a just as drunk Mitsuri as she takes your hand in her own; eyes flitting across the table with no subtlety whatsoever as she gives Obanai a fleeting look. Sanemi almost rolls his eyes as he looks at the man who also hasn’t touched his drink, the poor lovesick fool tagging along because he knew Mitsuri would be here.

But isn’t that why Sanemi is here too? Because he knew you would be here.

And he grumbles and complains when he watches you stand to leave, cursing beneath his breath when he notices just how drunk you are. Immediately raising to his feet to stop you falling face first into the table as he clings to your upper arms, hoping you can’t see how pink his cheeks are beneath the flickering candlelight.

He’s still complaining when he bends his knees just enough to help you cling onto his shoulders, lifting you up with ease. The years of training to become a Hashira now useful as he holds you as though you weigh nothing— calloused palms holding onto the bottom of your bare thighs as Sanemi tries to ignore the way your uniform skirt has practically bunched around your waist. You wrap your arms around his broad shoulders as you press your cheek to his, your glossy lips grazing his ear every time you turn to speak to him. Churning out the most nonsense, Sanemi reckons, although he by no means wants you to stop. He’d listen to you talk about anything.

The streets are quiet as he gives you a piggy bag ride through them, walking towards your home as he has to curse beneath his breath when he almost drops you when you see a cat— tightening his grip on your thighs as you forget to hold onto him and reach out for it. Bending his waist to keep you flush against him as you scramble to cling onto his haori, squealing as though you’re about to fall.

But Sanemi would never let you fall, he’d always be there to catch you.

#you’d just bring him out of his comfort zone #and teach him how to smile again #because I don’t think he ever really forgot how to love? #so you’d just remind him how to love wholly #and like any excuse to spend more time with you?🥺 #just silly little bedtime thoughts #I hope I dream about this tbh #sanejo #soft Sanemi

i tried to read up on the idea behind sigil stuff but i'm not quite able to wrap my head around the use of magic squares- would you be willing to explain what the logic behind them is with regards to mapping a name onto a square and choosing which square to use in the first place?

Generally, in western magical thought, the magic squares 3 though 9 correspond to the 7 classical planets, and are associated with their various magical powers. They're generally used as lamen. Like, want help in childbirth? Make yourself a necklace with the square of Venus. That's the idea.

There's also a method of deriving sigils from them. Let's say I wanted to create a symbol out of the word GUNK.

I would find the square I deemed appropriate. Maybe I want something fighty, so we go with mars. I break down the word GUNK into numerical values. G = 1, U = 21, etc. And then draw a shape using those numbers on the square as vertices.

cat owner question. if you have a cat and you do not maintain anything approaching a "normal schedule" can cats roll with that?

#all i ever see are conversations about how they will remind you whenits bedtime and suchlike #red rambles #if most days i wake up at 11 and i go to bed at 11 and then every like three or four days #i wake up at 5:22 am and go to bed at 8am the next day and then two days later i wake up at 9:30 at night and go to bed at midnight #like can they live with that

#yes I can absolutely elaborate on this and will tomorrow if someone reminds me #no I am not going to do it tonight it is my bedtime honk shoo #disco elysium #harrier du bois #harry du bois

[samscompliment]

the thing is i think it’s so utterly stupid bonkers to get mad about things various supernatural characters have done bc well. characters! and a lot of the time yeah they do have reasons and they do the best they can with what they’ve got. like i’m not mad dean kicked cas out of the bunker i get that. but at the same time it is ALSO utterly stupid bonkers to act like the three of them don’t all have viable reasons to want each other dead and like they’re not all correct for thinking that

#it’s like hmm i don’t care what dean did but i DO care that it gave cas problems and made him upset :( if that makes sense. this is also #about a sam post the other day that im not even going to directly address bc it made me so angry that i literally had to remind myself it #was about tv. but like. yeah sam did whatever but like you can’t hold that against him. same as dean. same as cas i guess although cas #genuinely doesn’t really make bad calls. like he does but he doesn’t. s6 he’s literally in the right it’s just framed stupid. im getting off #topic. i don’t care about what they have done bc it’s literally supernatural. and even if u r the deangirliest of deangirls i think u should #be able to say ‘dean is my specialist boy and was right to lock jack in that box BUT i guess cas would probably be mad anyway :/‘ #does this make sense it’s literally bedtime

fanfic appreciation post!!

(recs and appreciation under the cut!)

Hi! I've been wanting to make a fanfic appreciation post for a while and herreeee it finally issss!!

Just wanted to let you writers know that you guys inspire me a lot and have gotten me through the toughest times. When I feel like I'm not enough at school or at home, I have a character that relates to me and I feel less alone. Or when I'm just feeling down, there are those oddly specifically humored fics that make me feel a million times better. There are also ones with the 10000/10 vibes omgggg. I literally have so many Pinterest boards set up so I could make fanart for them. And I love this about fandoms, people's art inspires others to make art and we support each other.

So as more appreciation, I wanted to share a few of my favorites! Just as a warning, these are mostly bad guys-centric! Also most of these are SFW! Ill put this emoji 🔞 if it isn't! (also these aren't in any order! I love them all) Also feel free to share your faves!! :))

Take it or Leave it by Smileyjack (The Bad Guys) Snake can't sleep bc he's cold so he cuddles with Wolf to warm up while he's sleeping. Snake, the denier he is, can't get over how in love he is with Wolf, and when Wolf asks him about it. Snake is such as dork about not wanting to admit he wants love and attention and this fic DOES IT JUSTICEEEE (epic echoey voice) also I love Snake and Wolf's mannerisms and dialogue in here. Mwah so good such a good fic to go to bed to👩‍🍳🫶

lighthouse by jjsworld2021 (The Bad Guys) Snake angst where he is molting and gets sad and remembers his past through a notebook and Wolf is soooososo sweet comforting him. It's got angst with a whole lot of heart, Wolf being such a sweetheart (also snake being a loving softie), fluffyvenom kisses and cuddles, and snake lore.

Sick day by daniel_lee and TotallyNotALemon (The Bad Guys) Wolf is sick and Snake takes care of him and it's sooooo sweeeeettt. Wolf is also a brat and it's hilarious. Wolf's smug ass is something I'll never get tired of.

Chocolate haze by @shelli-gator (The Bad Guys) Mostly where Snake tends to a cut on Wolf's face. It kinda has some lore about how Wolf got the scar on his eyebrow and how the bad guys made it a thing to not make their criminal acts personal. This fic kinda took it that the bad guys were more of a gang, but it doesn't bother me too much bc it was mostly fluffyvenom-centric. But MMMMMMM I love the way the author wrote this. They described things in a style I've never read before?? it lowkey reminds me of the way the author of Peacekeeper writes. Their tone was so beautiful, serious, but also hoootttt. Also they described the surroundings and how Wolf/Snake looked at each other (physical appearance) and I could just imagine how this could look in my head

Divorce Drive by daniel_lee and TotallyNotALemon (🔞 for explicit sexual content) (The Bad Guys) Ugh these two are a writing power couple I swear. This one's where Wolf and Snake have recently divorced (not from each other but Wolf from Diane and Snake from a snake lady) and Wolf meets Snake in a bar and asks to hook up. It had everything I needed and more. Wolfs rizz the beginning and throughout was soooo hot my hot compress could not. I soo want to do fan art for Wolf being at the bar, GOD. Also, I thought this would be straight up pwnp but I WAS VERY INCORRECT. It had lots of feelings. Anyways I loved this one a lot!! It was especially comforting during crappy period feeling time :(

Go Bad or Go Home by @bloomtoy (The Bad Guys) A series where about how Wolf and Snake met. It follows their early heists and I love their conversations. This is the one where they met bc they were trying to steal the same diamond and teamed up to escape.

The Enigma Project by SpookOrSpectre (zootopia) (beware this is unfinished but there's more chapters on fanfic.net) UUGGHHHH this has literally been my personality for a while. Also got me thru a lot of school depresso hours. This takes place after the movie where Nick and Judy art buddy cops. They are assigned a case by Bogo that turns out to be a supernatural thing. There's this org called A3I with deals with those sorts of cases and Nick and Judy end up joining them in their cases. It's a very detective mystery but also suuuUUPPER SPPPOOOOKY. I had to stop reading this at night at some point bc I got too scared. I love the way they wrote Nick and Judy in the first few chapters. They got such good chemistry and it sounded SOOOO like the original movie and it even added more. IT WAS GIVINGGGG.

Daddy Long Legs by MidnightStrix (Helluva Boss) (🔞 for explicit sexual content) Where Stolas and Blitzo are doing their monthly hookup but Blitzo gets caught up thinking about never being able to be loved. I looove the writing in this one! It was so sarcastic and I loved reading about Blitzo's internal monologue. Just a warning, it is pretty explicit (i just started getting into the Helluva fanfics, if yall have any recs please send them :'))

#fanfiction #appreciation post #ao3 fanfic #archive of our own #love you fanfics writers mwah #also just a friendly reminder to download your fav fics like no tomorrow broskis #a few of my comforting bedtime story ones got deleted and i could never be comforted the same way again :(

We had to put a horse in the paddock that I can see from the balcony because he's super fucked up on Benadryl, except that's right next to a paddock another, rather rowdy horse is in, so I was supposed to supervise them for a while before I went to bed to make sure they don't fight through the fence. I sat out on the balcony and read a couple blogs and watched them for an hour and they were fine... and now that I'm finally inside getting ready for bed I keep hearing sounds suspiciously like horses banging on the fence between them. >:O If they make me have to change back out of my pajamas and go out there....

#when i was a teenager i wanted to be a barn manager #i realized years ago that i did not want to live that kind of constantly on-call life #and this is just a very good reminder of why #i would like to SLEEP tonight horses. it's already two hours past my bedtime #(also rip the actual barn manager. who is supposed to be on a beach vacation) #(i've had to call her like four times over the past two days)

[redbullgivesyouwingedkuriboh]

aaaaaaaand cue the 11 pm rambling.

the thing that fucks me up about seto kaiba is how he just. takes what he thinks he deserves. and how he looks down on those who don’t.

like here’s the similarities between me and kaiba:

- very protective of anyone that we view as needing it

- adopted

- make the best out of our situations

the difference on that last one is how we do it. i do it through ruthless optimism and pushing myself to be better every day. kaiba does it by climbing over people that he perceives to be in his way and using them as metaphorical rungs in the ladder of life.

also: r.e. joey: the reason kaiba hates joey so much is what I said above— joey doesn’t take selfish opportunities and basically does everything he does for the comfort and satisfaction of other people. kaiba was willing to gain what was probably pennies to him in duelist kingdom just to prove his title and the whole reason joey was fighting was for his sister. of course kaiba hates joey— he doesn’t understand why joey is still so low in society with the amount of dueling talent joey has.

kaiba looks at joey and sees what he could have been had he not gotten gozaburu to adopt him and then taken over kaiba corp. i’m not saying he’s right for how he treats joey, but I think it’s a little justified in a fucked up way. like, had kaiba not seized every opportunity, he would still have been in the orphanage when the show started. (idk how orphanages work in japan bear with me) he thinks that joey is too selfless and it’s hurting him. in some ways, that makes joey and kaiba perfect foils: joey, too selfless, and kaiba, too selfish.

so I don’t blame kaiba for not liking joey. I think his treatment of him is unfair and I think it’s kaiba taking his anger and trauma out on the closest available emotional punching bag, but I understand it. (i used to do that a lot to my adoptive parents because i think I saw them as the cause of my situation, even though they never did anything to intentionally hurt me.)

he needs SO MUCH therapy, though. #getkaibatherapy2023 (i do, too, but I acknowledge that and I’m working on my issues.)

I also think Kaiba had to grow up way too fast, which is actually pretty common in adopted kids. we either 1. strike out against our adoptive parents because we’re angry at losing our family or 2. conform so neatly to our new family that we fail to realize that we are separate entities from our parents. obviously those are the two extremes. kaiba is one of those cases that sits at both ends. he systematically destroys his adoptive father while also becoming so much like him that even kaiba doesn’t notice what he’s become.

…

…

I know we make fun of kaiba every time he smiles “oh no, kittens are dying” but there’s nuance to that.

…

…

does kaiba treat smiles as a reward?

I know I used to.

…

…

and if kaiba is anything like me

(which he is)

(I see a lot of myself in him, which scares the hell out of me while simultaneously comforting me because maybe I have a chance, right?)

then the love of his little brother is a privilege that he will never take for granted. in fact, he’s so scared of losing it that mokuba is his one weakness. if someone threatens my family, I come out swinging.

…

anyway, thanks kazuki takahashi for giving this little adoptee someone other than Annie to look up to.

goodnight.
