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

False Identity

Danny knew that if he wanted to escape Amity and all the chaos that was his life he needed to get a fake identity, move and go as far away as possible. He could probably ask Tucker or Technus, but he felt it was something he had to do on his own.

He made arrangements, destroyed the portal, said goodbye and ended up moving to Gotham. However his hacking job wasn't so good and he was discovered in an instant by the bats.

They decided to investigate him instead of confronting him directly, following Jim's advice that not everyone was running because of something malicious, Danny didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

He seemed to be adjusting to Gotham which was weird on it's own but the strangest thing he did was get a job in Penguin's Iceberg Lounge but that was more because of his job search than anything else.

His past records also showed nothing more than a child with poor grades and troubling injuries, probably caused by neglectful parents.

Damian began to fear the worst and hid the adoption papers.

#dpxdc #Danny moves to Gotham #According to Danny he did an excellent job #and no one noticed #Barbara detected it in two seconds #but he hadn't done anything wrong yet #Bruce felt suspicious about it #he stalked Danny but only ended up with a sad story about neglectful parents #Damian fears the worst #Tim helped him hide the adoption papers #dp x dc #dc x dp #Danny has no idea about any of this #he's just happy working with his newly acquired Uncle Penguin #his uncle probably isn't on the better side of the law but he cares #and that's what matters

I really like the way Ramona was portrayed, I loved seeing Knives getting so much justice and gaining a healthier relationship with the older characters in comparison to the comics, I love the exes interactions with Ramona.

But even more importantly...

Him.

As always, all my praises go to the gay man ever. Slay you magnificent king.

I saw others sharing their Grian drawings, so I'd like to show mine! He's pretty chill and has a high kill count.

Love your doodles, they're so amazing and adorable <33

What a lovely Grian! I'm sure that high kill count is nothing to worry about :)

AU where Phoenix is a drama teacher and Edgeworth is an English teacher and they’re both really weird about Shakespeare

Or

drama teacher!Phoenix and dance teacher! Edgeworth have to work together for a high school play without trying to kill each other (it gets real fuckin close)

#I’ve seen Phoenix as an art teacher which is great but that guy would make an excellent drama teacher #he’s so silly #the essence of narumitsu is giving these guys essentially the same job but keeping them as petty haters #also I feel like only the gayest people are drama and English teachers #anyway every AU where phoenix is doing theater stuff is my favorite #I think that he and Trucy would bond over being performers and I kinda want to have fun with it rather than be sad with it #I think they should join a community theater program and not tell anyone during the 7yg #it would be funny #narumitsu #wrightworth #phoenix wright #miles edgeworth #ace attorney #edit: I haven’t been in any sort of theatre program in like a decade and I miss it

The renfaires in Gotham must be on the next fucking level

At least three villains have been mistaken for regular attendees and left in a huff because no one feared them and at least least five people commented on the lack of accuracy. Some redhead was complaining about an obscure food that apparently “didn’t taste the same” and a seven year old (“I’m thirteen”) shouldn’t be able to handle a sword that well. At least a third of Red Hood’s crew is there. This one lady had the best costume out of anyone but then started floating leading to theories that she’s actually a ghost from five or six hundred years ago. Nobody wants to be rude and ask. That guy might actually be Red Hood. At least four people escaped Arkham to be here but they’re not causing a fuss so no one’s telling just yet.

#the red head is Wally and he isn’t allowed to go back to the fifteenth century for more of that one really good food #but no one here makes it the same #dick is dressed up like a bard and doing an excellent job all around #ren faire #gotham #red hood #damian wayne #wally west #jason todd

Sorry i just had a Hob thought

So like we all know the shit this man went through, right? He lost everyone and everything he cared about, was drowned, starved for like 80 years straight, along with other stuff that wasn’t mentioned in the plot.

And he is still going strong and I’m so proud of my boy but imagine. He is a teacher, i think that much we can agree on. I believe he either works with high schoolers or university students but that part isnt that important. My point is every day he sees the modern generation simply living- and by ‘simply living’ i mean being chaotic little shits who love tiktok dances and memes and that troll the shit out of him.

Can you imagine how happy he is seeing children, not necessarily happy every day but so lively? Every time they make a joke he doesn’t understand, he can’t even be mad because, hell, we was born in a time where a child living past their preteen years was a blessing.

I think we can often forget that Hob loves people. He loves living. He is so full of wonder and joy, even when he’s having the worst years of his super long life. I know there’s been some Hob controversies recently (which i can’t really comment on because, well, i don’t know much of the context or anything, just the jist of the thing) but, we can’t forget how amazing his character is. Like i love this guy so much.

Idk if this was at all coherent but i wanted to gush him. I just love characters who represent change and, above all, just a sheer love for life. I think we all need a little bit of that in our daily lives.

#SEND POST #I LOVE #I LOVE THIS MAN #AIGH #pls dont yell at me istg i just love this man #he is so #hehrhehrhgrrheh #he loves life so much #and he changes so much #and i love him and am his biggest cheerleader #props to ferdinand kinglsey for doing an above excellent job on this character #ferdinand kingsley #what a guy what a man #my fav actor ever #the sandman #hob gadling #sandman #dreamling #can i tag this as dreamling? #anyways im gonna #love em

one of my absolute favorite wincest fic dynamics is when sam has been thinking about doing the nastiest, most wretched things to dean since like forever and has desired him carnally since he knew what that meant, and dean is just like "wow, never noticed how hot my brother is. shame i can't do anything about it bc we're brothers." meanwhile Sam is like locked in the bathroom licking the floor of the shower bc dean just got out. love it when sam is a freak ab his brother in a way that fucking blindsides dean <333

#dean would be thinkin some shit like “i wanna kiss sam but its WRONG so i have to push it down and hide it away” #and sam is actively smelling his dirty underwear and jacking off furiously before dean gets back with breakfast #sam would beg dean to eat him alive but dean is too afraid to even look for too long #ppl who write their dynamic like this - great job team keep up the excellent work 👏

SandRay in Only Friends Episode 12

(Still not sure why Ray thinks SandBoeing kiss automatically means he is second fiddle when Sand kisses Ray so passionately while he barely peck on Boeing’s lips? - I might need to rewatch this scene again, you know for science…)

[dribs-and-drabbles]

I can't help thinking about how the casting of Be My Favourite, which at first (and second after the recast) felt so odd, could actually be very cleverly intentional.

When the first trailer was presented at GMMTV Live 2022 we all collectively lost our shit at the casting of Krist and Mike. Not only for the backlash Krist (potentially wrongly) received after SOTUS but also for pairing him with Mike. Two actors who had been in bl pairs before but not for a while and who weren't predicted to do any again soon.

But then Mike got replaced (for whatever reason), and by yet another person who no one saw coming, Gawin. Again, an actor not shy of a few bl pairings but who hadn't lead a show yet and who seemed pretty reserved and not the obvious choice to do another bl.

And looking at Krist/Kawi and Gawin/Pisaeng sat together at the end of ep 7, it hit me that they don't seem like an obvious paring.

And they're really not. They've not even worked together on a series before (as far as I could see on mdl) let alone built up a friendship/relationship on the 'promotional circuit' compared to other newer pairings (I'm thinking Ohm/Nanon before Bad Buddy, or Perth/Chimon going into Never Let Me Go and now Dangerous Romance, who it's easy to picture together from the get go.) And also compare this to Krist and Aye, who have worked together in three other series prior to filming Be My Favourite - and recently too.

So it feels like the show wants us to see the Kawi/Pearmai pairing as the obvious one - just as Kawi does.

It wants us to see the Kawi/Pisaeng pairing as a little odd, or unimaginable - just as Kawi did (and is kidding himself that he still does).

And I love that because, as it's taking time for Kawi (and Pisaeng) to get used to the idea of them as a couple, we also get to do the same thing at the same time.

Their pairing is growing for us as it's growing for them.

And in some ways it's making me feel closer to their journey.

(shout out to @grapejuicegay for our dm discussions about the show)

#be my favorite #be my favourite #I know it's dunkjoong day but I've been sitting on this thought for a while #and I needed to get it out before a new week starts #anyway... #I think the 'odd' casting was a genius choice #because even if it wasn't intentional #I do love that I'm warming up to it at the same time that kawi is #I really do think this show is excellent #and it's rewiring my brain on krist #because I think he's doing a fantastic job as kawi #every ep he knocks it out of the park #(yes he over does it a little sometimes but who's perfect?)

Hello!! I came across a couple of your animals with pride flags series (idk what you're actually calling it lol) and I wanted to request an intersex blue-ringed octopus (I'm not intersex myself tho lol, just thought it might look neat)

Oooh, this was a fun one! Thank you for the request! 🐙

#ask #art request #art #my art #intersex #blue-ringed octopus #octopus #queer art #animal art #digital art #lgbtqia+ #lgbtq+ #critter series #someone requesting an animal that matches the colour/look of the pride flag with it? *wipes tear* brilliant. you understood the assignment #like i love doing people's favourite animals with their flag but there's just something so fun about animals that match the colour scheme #or at the very least are very close to matching it. it makes the designs so appealing because it looks more natural #and it's always nice doing flags i haven't done before #the blue-ringed octopus was an excellent choice for the intersex flag. for obvious reasons. i also think it looks very neat :) #(the back legs are doing a very very good job of being hidden behind the head and have nothing to do with me forgetting about them) #i saw one when i was a kid. i was in a rock pool and as I got out it swam across. it was a very 'woah. i could have died just now' moment #but then again close encounters with deadly animals are basically a rite of passage for kids in australia #id in alt
