#good talks with buds

[drchucktingle]

Something I’ve been curious about if it wouldn’t break the bit: are you one buckaroo or several sharing a name and persona?

greetings bud thank you for asking FIRST OF ALL want to say to you or anyone reading this post that i am not upset over this question and i am not upset with you. you have kindness in your trot and i know you are just asking to prove love in your own way. buds reading this please do not harass this person in fact maybe give them a follow or a like, they are trying their best.

OKAY NOW THAT IS OUT OF THE WAY i will talk on my feelings of this with simple statement:

this is not a bit.

i understand it can be difficult to accept this for some, especially in world where absurdity and cynical humor is so popular, but i am very sincere. even though i make jokerman jokes sometimes, even in my writing, tinglers are not supposed to be funny as a concept. if you laugh at them that is TOTALLY OKAY i understand this way when confronted with something out of the box but that is not the point of them at all. the point is that LOVE IS REAL for everyone (there are other points but that is a broad one)

now on to why i trot my trot in this way. first off is to protect my privacy this is simple enough. when i talk on son jon or sweet barbara or any other way i am adding a layer of secrets by changing names or relations or towns but that is just a fancy outfit for the real truth. i am NOT creating a character, i am protecting myself.

second and more important is that when i TALK IN MY UNIQUE WAY i am expressing myself without masking, which is something old chuck does every single day out there in the world as someone on the autism spectrum. i am VERY GOOD AT MASKING you would probably not know chuck was autistic when talking to me unless you were a close bud. but unfortunately this masking way creates very real tension in my body. i have trotted with CHRONIC PAIN for most of my life heading to emergency rooms where kind and handsome t-rex doctors could not figure out what the heck was goin on. basically LIVED in the dang emergency room. eventually chuck learned i carried my body TOO TIGHT from masking all the time, but what i realized is that allowing myself a space to type freely without way of punctuation or other restrictions and LETTING MY HEART SING to just be myself without masking made this tension release. pain started going away. GRAND IRONY of course is that when im trotting as chuck i wear a pink mask to take off my OTHER MASK of a neurotypical bud.

that is why i protect my way of speaking freely as well. if someone says 'well you need to talk like this right now' i stand tall and say NO BUD THIS IS MY SPACE AND I WILL EXPRESS MYSELF IN THIS WAY AND YOU AN TROT ON IF YOU WANT. this is firm boundary for me and my health.

anyway buckaroo to sum that up again: yes i am one person and this is not a bit

if you want to know more about my way on the autism spectrum i wrote a tingler about how it feels to have others say you are 'playing a character' and not actually neurodivergent. i think tumblr buds might enjoy so i will add it down here LOVE IS REAL thank you for your question

NOT POUNDED BY THE PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION OF SOMEONE ELSE'S DOUBT IN MY PLACE ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM BECAUSE DENYING SOMEONE'S PERSONAL JOURNEY AND IDENTITY LIKE THAT IS INCREDIBLY RUDE SO NO THANKS

Been staring at images and videos of hyenas for almost 3 hours now for reference and now I'm sorely tempted to write a mini fic where Harley's hyenas get lost in Gotham and the Batfam have to draw straws again to figure out who's going to be leaving patrol to help Damian return them to their rightful owner.

#dreamer talks #harley quinn #batfam #batfamily #damian wayne #idk i just think it'd be cute if #bud and lou start sneaking away #because they know that the new robin #will give them good pets and treats

#wander over yonder #woy #sylvia zbornak #woy sylvia #commander peepers #woy peepers #funnily enough wander would be equally offended #''syl- that was kinda mean'' #''sorry bud didn't mean to-'' #''I mean I LIKE the guy well enough but ehhhhhhhhh'' #''...wait- it's MUTUAL????'' #(she'd say she was talking about Peepers good traits without saying that Peepers has Wander's negative traits but magnified) #(also to clarify: Wander loves Peepers but he's.... well... Peepers) #(btw one of these days I should write an analysis on Wander and Peepers' parallels)

More of the “Cloud playing hide in seek with Turks rather than have a conversation” Soulmate au.

The other Troopers have no idea why Turks are poking around all of Cloud’s postings but none of them are going to sell out the weird little guy who is somehow both everyone’s little brother and the craziest bastard any of them know. And really it’s not like they’re lying when they say Cloud was on patrol with them. The fact that he was patrolling in the air ducts was not the question they were asked and Reno should have been more clear if he wanted the full answer. This isn’t even the most concerning thing Cloud has done this week.

Zack on the other hand manages to get a glimpse of Cloud’s soul mark and makes it his mission to hook his two buddies up mostly because he is pretty sure Cloud hasn’t slept in the last three days.

#the elf talks #ff7 #Zack pulling cloud from a vent: This is for your own good #cloud: no he can’t know I’m a failure #Zack: bud :( #hide and seek au

Honestly imo poor Metatron did not go through the trouble of choosing a low ranking, “traitorous,” angel with little to no reputation and driving such a neat wedge with his friend, leaving the only Angel he’s friendly with on earth, and by the very promotion alienating him from all his colleagues with like 1 cup of coffee and 10m for everyone to think Aziraphale is gonna get real, unfettered access and control and not be absolutely fighting for his queer little life

#cmo's log #good omens spoilers #he’s gonna try and make small talk and for like at least a year everyone is gonna basically run away #the archangels aren’t gonna bother to stop hating him well at least the Archangels #he’s gonna open like one file that’s not strictly necessary and metatron is gonna be like hey. what’s going on bud #imo #could be wrong but uhhh I wouldn’t go through the work of isolating someone to let them flourish #even if he’s overconfident in thinking other angels wouldn’t be tempted

[moonsidesong]

a brief aside for the few new followers i just got that are also dr fans lol

#bri talks #this is all a long way to say i like the series but im also pretty harsh on it #one of my buds is going through the series right now #so i'm probably gonna have a lot to say when he gets to v3 #... and it's probably not gonna be very nice #i do think chapter 1 is good though. i love kaede

Tonight the child was fully nude minus a fireman’s hat, very slowly and deliberately stomping around, straight faced, and making various dinosaur noises

…I just don’t get why the hat was needed

#‘I’m spinosaurours!’ #sure thing bud. what’s with the hat? #‘…’ #‘ROOOOOAAAAAR!’ #oh #‘…grrrrr’ #cool. good talk #can we get dressed now? #para’s doodles #para and babe

I think The Riddler is a bad choice for a starting Batman villain if you want to show off Bruce being A Detective because The Riddler’s whole thing is literally leaving clues specifically for people to find and solve.

Like, idk, to me, it’s not super indicative of how great a detective someone is if they’re finding the clues left by Mr. Leaves-Clues-A-Lot.

#this post brought to you by how much I hate The Riddler in The Batman hahaaa. #ALSO he should have changed his last name to Nygma to distance himself from his past. #ALSO unrelated but I think Hush would be a good Batman Live Action villain because regular people don’t know shit about the comics. #they don’t know the context of Hush where a mysterious villain pops up and we are meeting Bruce’s Best Friend Nobody Ever Talked About… #…for the first time. #i would probs do Hush and Two-Face in the same story. #do a fakeout so that it seems like the film is combining Hush and Two-Face! oh wait no they’re different people! #idk maybe Bruce+Tommy+Harvey were buds as kids. #i like when Bruce was friends with his villains…it really starts to seem like he has a curse on him… #where everyone around him turns evil.

We still don't have a name but he's pretty settled in now, enough to play with my wool when I'm trying to crochet (it's okay he's helping) (he's not but he's cute so I'll let it slide)

#Bittybones #He likes the wool which is good because we can bounce crafting puns back and forth #Coming up with names is hard how do pregnant people do this #For now I've just been saying 'bud' when we talk cause that's what I call everybody #But we'll think of something better #And if he ever gets out of my craft supplies I will try to make him a lil blanket or something for winter

not a question again but the latest greygold adventure goin into illithi-dude's underground house was so freakin funnyyyyy! love me some greygold lore ❤️❤️ rip to that mouse tho

Greygold made sure that mouse's family was heavily compensated with a mountain of cheese for their loss. I'm glad you're enjoying the sillies and what tidbits I'm able to put together that would be considered official Greygold lore though, aye! That child's history is a goshdarn schroedinger's cat I tells ya. Thankfully, unlike everyone else's backstory, Greyg's past ain't too important to bring up in this adventure, ahahaha~

#I just had to laugh when the Emperor was getting a lil self conscious about us seeing their food storage set-up. #Like. My squid bud. #no worries. all this ranger talks about is predators and prey #hunter to hunter we good bruh

I'm playing bg3 again and trying out the honor mode (which as it turns out, might be a bad idea if you never beat the game in general, much less beat it in tactician mode) and I have been confronted with the fact that I absolutely have dnd race favoritism and it absolutely is contributing to my need for many many bg3 saves because I constantly think "hmmm I want to try playing as a deep gnome to see if I get special dialog with Barcus Wroot, the Iron hands, and the underdark" before picking Drow for the 4th time.

#simon says #to be fair!!! #for my honor mode run I picked half-elf drow heritage because I liked the male face shapes more #and also because picking a Lolth Sworn drow for the 4th time would be a sign of a problem #if you want to know what option number 2 is for character creation is when I think 'i should pick something other than drow' it's halfling #i love halfling characters I love halflings I love the adorably sweet dialog options you get and I love how the game is in a new camera #like it's so fun talking to small characters and having them just look at you normally but having every large character look down at you #it makes every threat 100 times more threatening #someome threatens you and you're a big ol dark urge dragonborn? yeah okay bud. I got acid breath we'll see who wins here #someone threatens you and you're a fucking tiny little wild mage halfling who just spent the last hour telling Lae'zel to be cordial? #yeah I believe that threat. they could absolutely just pick me up and run off with me right now and the most I could do is accidentally fog #if you wanna know default number 3 if I dont wanna be a drow and halfling is just no cutting it? #dragonborn #in actual dnd I have never played them because there's so many other races I default to (like tiefling which is 4 in this list) #but in bg3 they're just SO fun to make and look so cool #it goes in order of special favorite little cultists > special favorite little combat avoiders > the most fun thing to make and play #and finally tiefling. i don't have much of an explanation besides the fact that tieflings are fun and I love their plot relevance in bg3 #but yeah dragonborn is absolutely the most fun to create in character creation and very fun to play #but I gotta choose my special little guys with nothing in common #do I pick a dark elf choosing to leave the cult of lolth to be good? a dark elf who is still Lolth's special little baby girl? #a dark elf with nothing to do with the underdark since their parent left who has lived a surface life and doesn't like cultist association #or do I pick a halfling who's here to be as cordial as possible and find the funniest ways to avoid combat #I was considering having a halfling for my honor mode because I thought romancing Halsin would be fun #but I decided a drow because avoiding the goblin combats without using the tadpole is a HUGE plus #and also because I had used the best halfling hairstyle on my other halfling and I didn't want to just make the same guy twice #anyways I still need to do like every other race and class soon so I can get the fun dialog #but here's the tough truth that funnie pony artist number 32 really loves Drow and Halflings so so so much

hi i made a tierlist of which one piece characters i think would go noodling for catfish

#one piece #op #opla #tierlist #note that this is based purely in which characters i know like. exist. there's way too many of these bastards. also it's based in vibes ONL #IMPORTANT NOTES: yamato's in the high noodling enthusiast tier because in my heart he talks like matty matheson #in my mind's eye i can hear him saying 'yeah we're just a couple of big dogs hangin out in the pond' while neck deep in a catfish burrow #idk if luffy would actually be a good fit for noodling considering he'd just. stretch #same w buggy if his arm disconnected he is NOT getting that thing back. #like he could THEORETICALLY be in the noodling god tier but he's also a wet noodle himself so idk if buggy would survive. sorry bud #also i was hesitant on where to rank sanji since he obvs values his hands and stuff #but then i saw that one cover of him popping out of the water w an eel in his hands and realized he'd do literally anything for fresh food #though risking life and limb for catfish would only be in dire situations for him i think #additionally i forgot helmeppo existed at all but yeah that thing would absolutely kill him #anyways i already posted this thing on twt but just so we're all clear. i made this for jack. hi jack :3

What does Ashreera and Shadowheart like about each other respectively? Fluff qn :)

Heya anon! I really enjoyed writing the answer to this one 💜

Because I'm me, this got kinda long-winded. All of this is stuff that's in the fics. The fluffy fics show the domestic side of things, but It Is the Wound She Gave Me and Like I Am Safe Again are the linchpins to their relationship. The Gauntlet/Nightsong fic that I'm chipping away at will be equally as important!

But I like typing about my babies soooooooo!

Shadowheart finds Asheera's bad jokes and obvious flirting endearing. Asheera's also pretty forward without disrespecting her boundaries, and Shadowheart loves that. In-game Asheera challenges her without trodding on firm "no" areas, and that's a huge show of respect. Shadowheart's low level of self-esteem gets big validation from someone like Asheera.

Even when Asheera is being a Paladin-ass Paladin™ she is always leaving room in their relationship for Shadowheart to have agency over what to share, who to be, and things like the events in the Gauntlet/Shadowfell. That's not something you get as a Sharran, and from someone that's dedicated to redeeming monsters and creating change in the world... I mean, the themes are right there!

Asheera finds Shadowheart's love of animals very telling of the kind of person she is. Asheera thinks someone who is as willing to say, "I'd rather not talk about this" as Shadowheart has a firm command of what she wants. Even if she needs nudges to know it's OK to express her desires and needs as well as what she doesn't want. The slim difference is actually huge.

Even when Shadowheart is potentially on the road to becoming a Dark Justiciar, and therefore someone that Asheera must kill, she is taking these things for herself that she deserves. Asheera might hate the choice that Shadowheart could make, but it's Shadowheart's choice. Shadowheart spares Aylin for whatever her reasons are (crisis of faith + wanting to know the memories and past that Aylin can give her) but Asheera sees it as someone that's finally embracing the fact that she is a person and she deserves to choose. When Shadowheart turns to Asheera and asks, "what should I do?" Asheera says nothing. She just nods. Shadowheart chooses for herself from that point onward.

As for in a love sense and not just a general "companionship" sense?

Shadowheart loves that Asheera isn't complicated in her love. There's nothing for her to hide with Asheera. She's tired of darkness. Asheera embraces her faults and all the things she's done as a Sharran without any hate in her heart. Though Asheera is a paladin of Redemption, she also doesn't treat Shadowheart as a project to fix. Shadowheart is just Shadowheart, and that makes it easy for her to love Asheera. She likes that no matter how she's feeling, no matter the kind of day she's had, Asheera is there for her. In anger, in joy, and in darkness.

Asheera loves Shadowheart's strength and perseverance, and the fact that she can pick herself up after something that would destroy most people. That she's extremely capable, but also that she's strong enough to share her moments of vulnerability or uncertainty. That she cares so much more than she lets on. That Shadowheart knows she can trust Asheera with anything, and that after a certain point she does.

Love is something that changes shape, especially in long-term romantic relationships. Sometimes the changes are good, though.

#hey you can ask me things! #oc: asheera #asheera's takes on the other companions in the tags! #Asheera enjoys Karlach's ability to live in the moment and they are the best buds #Astarion is a strange little man that Asheera desperately wants to make a “good” person (good luck) #Gale is that delightful friend who has really specific interests that she loves being around because hearing his excitement makes her happy #Lae'zel is that person she respects but there's an edge to it that never quite pushes over into hating each other #Wyll is a friend that tries to be all buddy buddy because they're both Baldurian but Wyll is a noble-ass noble and Asheera is NOT #Halsin and Asheera get along swimmingly but it's nothing special #Jaheira finds Asheera to be little more than a child in a lot of ways and thinks that she has a lot to learn (in a motherly sorta way) #Minsc doesn't get why Asheera thinks so much of what he says is funny but he respects paladins (the way he talks about Keldorn in BG2!!!!) #y'all should go see the banter Minsc has with Aerie in BG2 about wanting her to be his new witch... #it makes his almost rage moment after talking about Shadowheart post-House of Grief even more heartwarming #I know Minsc is ha-ha funny man but he has so much heart and he is absurdly endearing

Nothing in my life has ever tasted as good as how I imagine cartoon meat that looks like this tastes

#talking tag #orv groundrat meat and yanaspleta stem #literally the only type of meat they eat in one piece #it's funny how in orv when kdj makes bbq skewers they all look like this but when yjh makes skeweres they look like normal ass skewers with #vegetables and everything #it's yjh the only person who has any culinary sense? the real answer is no. kdj is actually capable in the kitchen. the funnier answer is #that yjh was so fed up with being the only person in the universe to have taste buds and maybe a normal sized mouth that he spent an entire #regression turn learning how to perfect his cooking [this part at least is canon] just so he could convince at least one of his companions #to raise their standards and stop eating barely-chopped‚ unseasoned‚ straight off the bone monster meat #i think yjh would refuse to eat an apple unless it was peeled and sliced into cubes with little toothpicks #he wouldnt touch a sandwich until you passed it through a panini press #maybe it has something to do with diligence and intentionally putting effort into something often overlooked #its a lot of effort to cook delicious meals when the world is quite literally falling apart and reshaping itself but in a situation where #he doesnt even have control over his own death‚ he can only treat what he does have control over with the utmost diligence #cooking and eating good‚ healthy‚ SAFE food is something that is entirely his‚ i think #he doesnt need it to survive like fighting. its not a relic of his past that has lost its application like gaming. its a routine‚ a ritual #repeated daily #something that you do every day and by continuing to do it you create things that are more and more enjoyable. something that makes people #smile and feel satiated. something that gets everyone to sit close and share the joy of a single moment. a single meal #is it possible to get tired of that after repeating it so many times? every day? every day every month every year every turn #why doesnt he eat food made by other people? #because its not delicious #and the dumplings? #those were made by someone he loved. someone he loved put their time into mizing the filling and shaping the dough #someone he loves wants him to be safe and fed. and offered him dumplings that they made #was it delicious?
