kids remind me, often, of the things i've taught myself out of.

i have a big dog. he looks like a deer. he is taller than most young children. while we were on a trail the other day, a boy coming our direction saw us and froze. he took a step back and said: "i'm feeling nervous. your - your dog is kind of big."

goblin and i both stopped walking immediately. "he is kind of a big dog," i admitted. "he's called a greyhound. they are gentle but they are pretty tall, which is kind of scary, you're right. their legs are so long because they are made for running fast. i am sorry we scared you. would you like us to stand still while you move past us, or would you feel more safe in your body if we move and you stay still?'

"oh. i didn't know that about - greyhounds. i think i ... i want to stay still," he said. at this point, his adult had caught up to us. "i'm nervous about the dog," he told her, "so i'm - i'm gonna stay still." she didn't argue. she didn't make fun of him. she just smiled at him and at me and held his hand while goblin and i, with as wide of a berth as we could make, crept our way through.

behind us, i heard him exhale a deep breath and kind of laugh - "he was really big, huh? she said it's because greyhounds have to go fast."

"he was big," she said. "i understand why that could have made you a little scared."

"yeah. next time i - next time do you think i could maybe ask to touch him? when - i mean, next time, maybe, if i'm not nervous."

later, going to a work event, in the big city, i stood outside, trembling. my social anxiety as a caught bird in my chest. i took a deep breath and turned to my coworker. she's not even really my friend yet. i told her: "i feel nervous about this. i am not used to meeting new people, ever since covid."

she laughed, but not in a mean way. she said she was nervous too. she reached her hand out and held mine, and we both took another deep breath and walked in like that, interlinked. a few people asked us - together? - and i told the truth: i feel nervous, and she's helping. over and over i watched people relax too, admitting i feel really kind of shy lately actually, thank you for saying that.

the next time i go to an event, and i feel a little scared, i ask right away: wanna hold hands? this feels a little dangerous. i hesitate less. i don't hide it as much. i watch for other people who are also nervous and say - it's kinda hard, huh?

i know, logically, i'm not good at asking for help. but i am also not good at noticing when i need help. i've trained myself out of asking completely, but i've also trained myself to never accept my own fears or excuses. i have trained myself to tamp down every anxiety and just-push-through. i don't know what i'm protecting myself from - just that i never think to admit it to anyone.

but every person on earth occasionally needs comfort. every person on earth occasionally needs connection. many of us were taught independence is the same thing as never needing anything.

each of us should have had an adult who heard - i feel nervous and held our hand and asked us how we could be helped to feel safe. no judgement, and no chiding. many of us did not. many of us were punished for the ways that we seemed "weak".

but here is something: i am an adult now. and i get nervous a lot, actually. and if you are an adult and you are feeling a little nervous - come talk to me. we can hold hands and figure out what will help us feel safe in our bodies. and maybe, next time, if we're brave, we can pet the dog that's passing.

#spilled ink #warm up #so i have worked in childcare as a teacher for like 15 years #hence the language behind ''what helps you be safe in your body?'' #like you can tell by what i say here i have EXPERIENCE with kids. #but tbh the REAL teacher moment is watching a 6/7 year old say #''this makes me nervous #can you please not come closer?'' #as a teacher i was IMMEDIATELY like ... ahh whomever is raising you is doing an EXCELLENT job holy shit #verbalizing your fears? trusting an adult to listen? #ability to recognize a way you might feel safer? #like .... this kid's caregivers.... that one moment... i was like .... who are u i wanna french kiss you big on the mouth

was rewatching fabian’s baron moment on account of it being the most delicious piece of pvp in my recent memory and ally beardsley’s growth as a player just shone through so brightly and with such clarity. after dusting off their shock they immediately asked about the nemesis ward, had enough knowledge about fellow pcs stocked to remember adaine’s ac with such like frustrated confidence and certainty, suggested to siobhan to dimension door out of adaine’s room, like. they came into this making a character with 4 dex. and now the dice deity offered to roll a check to sense if adaine was in danger. making decisions, asking questions, getting invested in the story, trying so hard with the tools they have to save characters from danger; ally beardsley is an incredible d&d player.

#blahblah tried to fly with a ribbon dancer SHUT UP. SHUT UP THEY HAD A VISION. #margaret encino’s call to the guards in battle of the brands is also a good moment #‘bonus action pick up a turtle and kiss it’ is CHARMING and FUNNY and APPRECIATES the art team #i swearrr to god if anyone comments abt them trying to railroad other players' actions. what the fuck do you want from them. #u hate when they play kristen as unserious when she’s literally a teenager with adhd + when theyre literally a comedian on a d&d comedy sho #but if theyre invested in other pc’s welfare youll shut them down too? bffr #ally beardsley you are so special to me #fully aware theyre an adult who likely does not care about people on the internet talking abt how theyre doing their job. as they should #they dont need defending they shouldnt need it people should just be normal abt them and until they are beardsley get behind me #yna.txt #fantasy high junior year spoilers #fhjy spoilers #fantasy high junior year #fhjy #dimension 20 #d20 #ally beardsley

okay REALLY STUPID superhero au concept: scourge of the city, poultry man, hated by everyone for sort of gunking up all their public works projects. darling of the city, cuteguy, beloved by everyone for generally being a very effective superhero at fighting crime. intrepid normal guy, iskall, person who has discovered a bizarre fact about one of his friends, grian: he's somehow both poultry man and cuteguy... at the same time??? frankly iskall doesn't know what to do with this information. why would someone even do that,

#this is so silly but it's in-character for them i think #anyway mumbo resolutely doesn't know either secret identity if you ask him and iskall is going to tear his hair out #scar is too busy signing posters and being entirely ineffective at his actual job #and the REAL threat lurks behind the scenes... #i Will Not Write This for the record but i thought it would be funny #can we somehow bring the salmon ghost into this too

Another man feeling insecure about his wife's success and instead of having an adult conversation if he didn't want to move for her career have an adult conversation instead of destroying a gift from her dead mother.

Someone else gave a point by point of his AHness

She gave more insight into the situation

#Reddit #Aita #NTA #Why go on a romantic trip with someone you have a right to be angry with #Glad redditors are calling out the bs #Take the job and move and leave him behind #It's wasn't just a terrarium it was a gift from her dead mother #Add this to the thread about men destroying their wives/girlfriends things then whining that they were mad

#I did consider using certified Strange Object Eater gale instead of karlach but unfortunately I think he'd engage w the game authentically #whereas karlach. she has the jester's spirit ig. to me #also lae'zel is carrying a set of playing cards too and karlach has a dice set. WHERE is my casino mission with these two. I demand to know #also why is wyll proficient w mason's tools? does it come up later in the game or did they just get a lil silly w it for the character shee #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 fanart #karlach #lae'zel #haven't posted any art in fuckin aeons #this was a rush job on account of I Got Assignments and I am so behind #cannot justify the time spent on it but that's fine. fuck it we ball

#the 'better ways' they mention are basically 'move to the city & learn to code' #tho they dont even have enough guts to say the 'learn to code' part #literally just one paragraph abt moving to the city & 'finding' (?) better jobs #here ill just paste the whole paragraph #'The grim truth is that small farmers will never grow rich selling unprocessed beans. #In most countries where rural folk have dramatically improved their lives - they have done so by moving to cities #and finding better-paid jobs there. #end quote. #thats the only mention of 'better ways' in the article #almost like finding 'better ways' isnt the intention behind the article

I’ve seen this behind the scenes video before, but it was a couple months ago. In rewatching I was struck by a couple things:

1. I believe that in speaking carefully and trying not to give any spoilers, Michael Sheen and David Tennant’s words sound even more suggestive than they ordinarily would.

“*pause* earthly delights”

“Crowley guides him to certain understandings, in different ways”

“ox ribs…which he takes to…*very enthusiastically*”

2. “That was a very funny day- watching Michael spit beef across the set.” Why did David choose to say it this way? 😂😂😂 He could have said “spit beef out” or “into a bucket” or many other things, but *spit beef* *across the set* gives such images 😅😂😳

3. I’m sad they split them up for this part of the interview. They show them being interviewed together in other bts videos this season. They aren’t supposed to be separated! Can you imagine what would have happened if he had said “spit beef across the set” next to Michael‽ 😅😂🙃

Pac: [In a low voice] Who you think is not gonna take the pills? Who is the maniac, who is the crazy one that doesn't want the pills?

Fit: Well, I mean just think statistically Pac, I mean, there's how many members on this Island? Not everyone's going to say yes.

Pac: Everyone's gonna say yes. Otherwise I think– [whispers] I think Cucurucho might do something.

Fit: What do you think Cucurucho would do?

Pac: Uhhhhhmmmm... Probably make everyone take the pill! [Laughs] That's all! Or maybe kill everyone, I dunno! Or maybe kill the Eggs. [Laughs] Who knows! Who knows, who knows... Oh wait, the Eggs are already dead.

Satoru Gojo’s cursed abilities began to manifest at the age of two. By five he could read and write with ease, he could do basic arithmetic, and had better special reasoning than most adults. It was a given that his secondary traits would manifest early, and the clan was happy to welcome a dominant alpha to the family. Except—

He wasn’t.

The revelation that their messiah was an omega, frankly, appalled most of the Gojo Clan, but they wouldn’t deny their interest in a few incredibly powerful offspring.

By the time Satoru had truly and fully manifested at the age of fourteen, they had already thrown a few dozen alpha suitors his way — he had his pick of any of them, he could just drop out and raise children like a good omega. Except— he wouldn’t.

Satoru insisted on school, where it quickly became apparent that he would outclass even the strongest alphas. The clan was once again disgusted with him; the way he behaved, his strength and charisma, it simply wasn’t like an omega. He should be demure, and sweet, and happy to let everyone else order him around. Except he wasn’t.

He showed absolutely no signs of omega tendencies, except for infrequent heats, which were so mild he didn’t even need to take time off school. The clan had hopes that maybe that alpha boy he was always hanging around would get Satoru to settle down and mate, but no luck. When asked about this, Satoru said he found alphas “boring,” and would “rather drink bleach than fuck one.” The clan decided it would be best to wait a few years before broaching the topic of marriage again.

It wasn’t until his final year at Jujutsu High that Satoru showed any sign of libido at all. Lounging on the porch, ignoring his English tutor, staring out as the gardener tended to the koi pond. Then— Satoru bolted upright.

The tutor startled. “What? What is it?”

Satoru pointed. “Who is that?”

It took a second for the old man to spot who he was referring to. Someone else had joined the Gardner at the pond, peering down into the golden arc of fish. “The groundskeeper’s child.” A follow up question formed on his lips, “Why—“

Why are you interested when you’ve never shown an inkling of curiosity about anyone else in your entire life? But it died just as quick.

Satoru was staring at the gardener’s child with a look that could only be described as hungry. The shortened breath, dilated eyes, and flushed cheeks were unmistakable, although the unhinged grin he wore was a bit unusual (and unsettling). Nevermind whatever was going on below the belt.

“I want her,” Satoru said. Unshakable, bottomless lust— now that was just like an omega. Finally, he was experiencing a true heat, triggered by the presence of a potential mate.

Except—

“Gojo… that’s a beta.”
