#he was sick and needed cuddles

[catscraftsandcommentary]

Had a thought. (I've had a vicious and persistent sore throat/ear infection, so it grew out of that.) Witchers would be GREAT to cuddle when you're sick - they're warm, they don't catch or spread illnesses, they like spending time with friends/friendly humans, they respect boundaries (ie yes to cuddling, no to groping).

Basically, five bucks says any random human at Kaer Morhen could walk into the great hall or onto the training grounds, say "I feel like crap and I want a hug," and IMMEDIATELY have a dozen offers.

Now, if for whatever reason JASKIER got sick or injured and wanted comfort cuddles but Geralt and Eskel were called away for Warlord/Right Hand business, you KNOW that he'd whine at them that "noooo, you can't take my cuddle wolf, not when I'm SICK, at least find me another one while you're gone!"

So they call Aubry. (It's fine. It's far from the first time Aubry's cuddled Jaskier; the man is as good as his little brother.) Sasha and Milena come by with their lovers, and somehow Jaskier ends up wedged between Aubry, Aiden, and Lambert, with Sasha sketching birds for him and Milena reading to them.

The next day it's an entirely different cast of Witchers, with a few humans snuggled in.

Ciri and Zia poke their heads in one day to see Jaskier drooling on Gweld while Serrit sharpens all her many, many knives at the foot of the bed.

"Is he trying to sleep with everyone in the keep?"

Serrit snorts.

Ciri laughs. "No, he just likes cuddling them, I think. He only fucks Da and Uncle Eskel."

#the witcher #accidental warlord au #inexplicifics #witchers as cuddle objects #jaskier cuddles everyone and has no shame #but how scandalous would that rumour be #the warlord's consort has slept with every witcher in kaer morhen #in the warlord's own bed #yeah #he was sick and needed cuddles #everybody loves him to death #they would cheerfully fight for the right to cuddle his scrawny snotty whiny ass

“He looks so small right now, and so tired. I link my hand with his and press it over my heart, my still beating heart, careful not to disturb the chest tube coming out. ‘Baz…’ He lifts his head up and meets my eyes. His eyes are pools of black and grey and pain. I give him a small smile as my heart beats under his palm (how fitting, to have him hold my heart in his hands). ‘D’you feel that? I’m alright. I’m here.’”

Carry on Countdown | Day Eight: Sick

This year I decided I wanted to honor the incredibly talented fic writers of this fandom, so I chose one fic per prompt to do an illustration for. I didn’t double up on authors so that I could do this for as many people as possible. I realized while planning this that there are way too many fics and authors that I love, and even after having picked 30 of what I consider some of my very favorites, I could have easily kept going. Please check the fics out if you haven’t, they all come highly recommended.

Anyway speaking of poly trios. Have any of you considered Lawlusan because MANNNN.

#Shima speaks #Not even going to get into the absolute fucking shitshow (affectionate) that Lawsan is #(Okay maybe a little bit listen Sanji is SO MUCH like Cora I'm sure it would give Law some kind of complex) #(And Law's fanboying over the Sora comics would make Sanji uncomfortable probably. Lol) #Anyway anyway anyway #Luffy having to be the babysitter which is NOT RIGHT bc it's LUFFY. #But Law and Sanji don't take care of themselves sometimes!! And Law is the fucking DOCTOR in the relationship!!! #Sanji making Law eat tho and keeping track of his diet as well as Luffy's #Law keeping an eye on Sanji's body and his mutations... #Law and Luffy finding Sanji UTTERLY CHARMING even tho Sanji's SUCH a fucking loser #Luffy & Sanji @ Law: Man he's so fucking cool. What #Meanwhile Law is ALSO a loser #Law and Sanji about Luffy are like. I'm dating the sun. The sun incarnate. Literal sunshine personified #Law being the one to keep a level head when everything's gone to shit. Bc even Sanji can lose his cool sometimes #Luffy loving his grumpy boyfriends so so so SO much it's unreal #Law and Sanji having a Limit on how much they can be cuddled in one day - #But it's perfect bc they can trade Luffy off with each other bc we all know he's clingy af #Law: Need space. Can you go cuddle Sanji-ya #Luffy: Okay Torao <333333 #Sanji: Law get sick of you? #.Luffy: He needed space!!! Anyway I'm going to cuddle you now #Sanji: C'mere then <3 #I'm ill. Tee hee. #Lawlusan #Lawlu #Sanlu #Lawsan #One Piece

[polysyndetonaddictsupportgroup]

i remember someone asking you for the second years favorite out of itafushikugi but who do you think the trio’s favorite senpais are?

& who do you think the adults (nanami gojo shoko yaga) favorite students are?

I'm assuming we're talking about the sea glass gardens universe for this and not canon.

Megumi: Yuuta. No competition. I'm pretty sure this is straight up canon with his comment that Yuuta was the only one of his senpais that he actually respected. He and Yuuta have a special relationship, even if Megumi isn't aware of his Boyhood.

Barring Yuuta, Maki would be his favorite. They have identical bitch instincts and are always on the same wavelength. They wander the world as these beautiful judgmental assholes and it's their ideal existences. Soul siblings.

I see Maki as sort of slowly growing into her place as Megumi's family. At the start, neither of them were exactly looking to forge blood family ties, what with their history, but I think they both understand what it's like to have the Zenin lurking on your periphery in a way no one else does. They look out for each other.

Nobara: Maki. I also can't debate canon on this one. Nobara simply adores Maki. And has a crush on her the size of Jupiter. She doesn't know Yuuta and has sworn revenge on him for winning the last Goodwill event, so Yuuta's out of the running, and Panda and Inumaki are her constant torments.

Still, were it not for her appreciation for Maki as her senpai (re: rampant Homosexual Desire), I think Panda would be her favorite. They have identical asshole instincts, not that Nobara would ever admit it. Remember them teaming up during the Goodwill event? Nobara secretly has a soft spot for Panda, except for all the moments where she wants to beat him with a hammer.

Yuuji: I think it's actually Inumaki. Maki and him get on great because they both can compete athletically, but Maki's disposition is more suited to Megumi. She's harder for him to connect with for him on a personality level. Inumaki's also very athletically inclined, and I see them becoming jogging buddies now that Yuuta's in Africa.

I see Inumaki looking out for him a little when he first arrived, the way he did for Yuuta. Yuuji's not the sort to be phased by the difficulty communicating, and I think he respects the hell out of Inumaki as a jujutsu sorcerer.

If we count the Kyoto students in this, his favorite is Todo, but that may or may not be Stockholm Syndrome. He. He got swept up in it. It happened so fast. He doesn't know how this happened or if he's allowed to leave. It kind of scares him.

Yuuta is not even in the running for Yuuji's favorite. The thought of Yuuta torments him. He's just all sparkling and perfect in Africa, what with his curse-free existence and unstoppable power and having Megumi as his boy and what not. Just. Fuck off.

Adults

Nanami: He has no favorites. He cannot play favorites. He has raised one of these children, as adopted another, and has played a very large role in teaching a third. It would be wrong to select favorites out of them.

But also it's Yuuji.

It's not that he actually likes Yuuji better than Megumi or Yuuta or any of the others; it's more that Yuuji's his student. Megumi's practically a son to him, but Gojo was the one who took the lead on raising him and training him. And while he will always do his best to support Yuuta, by the time he met Yuuta, Gojo had already become the sort of adult pillar of support in his life.

Yuuji's the one he took the lead on training. He was there when Yuuji first had someone die, first had to kill. And Yuuji reminds him so much of Haibara that it hurts sometimes. He has a soft spot for him.

Gojo: Gojo will play favorites. It's Megumi.

Sue him. His kid is his favorite. That's his little boy. He watched him grow up from the angriest first grader he ever met to the angriest high schooler he ever met. He's always gonna have a bit of a soft spot for his Megs.

If he couldn't pick Megumi, it would be Yuuta.

Again, sue him for playing favorites, but Yuuta's someone he's just endlessly proud of. He watched Yuuta go from being curled up on the floor of an execution chamber to being the most promising sorcerer of the modern age. Yuuta really gives him hope for the future and the next generation. He just adores the kid.

Shoko: If we're talking sea glass gardens, I think Megumi would win by default just because she has less face time with the kids and Megumi is the one she helped raise. She's his wine aunt. She's always gonna wanna pinch his cheeks and harass him about his hair. But if he's out of the running, it's Nobara. She reminds her of her at that age. Mostly in the fact that she's endlessly suffering from her two idiot best friends's mutual homosexuality. Shoko relates to Nobara on a spiritual level.

Yaga: Panda. That's his little boy. I'm pretty sure this is canon too--Maki explicitly states that the principal plays favorites with Panda in JJK0. He raised Panda and thinks of him as his own son. He adores the kid.

If Panda's out of the running, it's Megumi.

This is also because he remembers when Megumi was a little kid. He didn't help raise Megumi the way the rest of them did--he got cut out after the Zenin incident--but he remembers before, when he was trusted with Megumi. A part of him is always going to remember Megumi as the quiet little boy who used to hide under his desk to read.

I also just see him as keeping more distance from the kids. he's not as actively involved in their teaching. it's partially an act of self protection to have distance--a lot of kids don't make it to graduation. So his favorites are going to be the one he spent the most time with--namely panda and Megumi, just by pure default.

#sea glass gardens #megumi sort of swept the competition but in his defense it's hard to beat being their literal child #he's had more /time/ to endear himself to them #he was the village baby okay #megumi's trapped in a nightmare #you know when you're in high school and you don't want anyone to know your dad's the english teacher #yeah so it's that but /the entire faculty/ #all of these people raised him #even with yaga it's a problem #yaga remembers him as the quiet little boy who used to hide under his desk #but /megumi/ remembers hiding under his fucking principal's desk as a little kid and falling asleep cuddling one of his stuffed animals #his fucking principal carried him to a couch and tucked him in for a nap in childhood #he's in agony. he's going to throw himself off the gym building. someone sedate him. he needs to scream into a pillow. #100% of the tokyo jujutsu high faculty has had some kind of hand in raising him. they all have seen him in his pajamas. they have all seen #him when he was sick or upset or when he hit puberty and his voice started cracking #the annoying teacher that drives everyone nuts is the guy that raised him. his legal guardian. the one that makes his life a living hell #whenever anyone flirts with him. /their teacher/ gave him The Talk and there were absolutely terrible jujutsu metaphors involved #gojo devastated that his little boy is grown up: *reading religiously off cue cards* make sure you and/or your partner /cast/ a /veil/ to #help protect from any /curses/ escaping #Megumi in hell: you can just say condoms #Gojo who will cry: i absolutely cannot #he's doing his level best to keep yuuji and nobara in the dark but /all/ of his senpais know that he's gojo satoru's little boy. it's like #having the fucking sword of damocles hanging over him. he knows one day they'll tell the others and he'll be in agony #just put him down like a sick dog at this point he cannot stand this

[loveshotzz]

His voice so so fucking deep in this video I wanna jump off a bridge

UGH it’s too much, it’s all too much. HES TOO MUCH!!!

#he’s just a sick lil guy who needs a good cuddle and smooch #now all I wanna do is sit down and write and I have to go to dumb work #asks

[rubenesque-as-fuck]

This week's date has been postponed 😔 dude says he got strep. Here's hoping it wasn't just an excuse to call it off and ghost.

#dating nonsense #date postponed #he messaged to say he needed to postpone due to strep #but when I messaged back and asked if he wanted to reschedule once he felt better got no response so far #but also if he's actually sick makes sense that phone messages might not be first priority #i dunno I'm just bummed to get a delay #worried that it will be an indefinite delay that leads to never actually meeting #so tired of this shit man #just want someone to cuddle and touch #it's supposed to snow this weekend I deserve to be snowed in with someone to fool around with

How Riven cuddles with the team

Lae'zel: sitting back to back with her head against his shoulder. She's asleep while he's awake, watching the stars. She fell asleep while telling him stories of the tears and her people. She trusts him to watch her back while she's vulnerable

Wyll: leaning back against a boulder that Riven is on top of, head pressed against his inner thigh as Riven helps him care for his horns. He has a lot to learn about infernal self-care, but Riven will teach him. Just like he taught him he's not a monster for how he looks.

Shadowheart: curled up between his knees, head against his stomach as he rests against a wall, arms loosely around her shoulders, playing a bit with her hair that she's finally let down. She's safe here, he doesn't expect her to be anyone but herself.

Gale: A sleepy hug from behind, Riven's arms around Gale's middle, listening to him as he talks about the world while preparing that night's dinner. Riven loves how soft and warm he is, and even though Riven is tired, Gale knows he's listening to him.

Karlach: he may not be taller than her, but he will happily be her big spoon. As soon as her engine is repaired, he starts to touch her all the time. Punches on the arm, squeezes on the shoulder, leaning against her while they take a short rest. But at night he'll hold her tight, bury his face against her shoulder, and wrap his tail around the two of them. They're best friends, and Karlach feels so loved with him around.

Halsin: A full body cuddle with Riven in his lap by the fire, head against his chest, trying not to drift off to sleep because of how warm and comfortable he is as everyone swaps stories. Halsin sings softly to him, or talks about his long life as he presses gentle kisses into his hair. Riven finds his hand every so often and presses his own kisses into the palm. While they may not be forever, they can be together like this for now, and that's enough.

Astarion: Gentle touches as they walk together; a steadying hand on the back, subtle fingers brushing over soft white curls, a warm palm on his belly if he ever bites something strange. But in private it's a completely different story. Astarion clings to Riven as they lay together completely intertwined, and Riven wraps them up in soft blankets, expending as many lay on hands charges as he needs to to satisfy his lover's hunger completely. He wants Astarion to feel what he feels when they're together. He wants him to experience the true quiet that comes from having no hunger or urges in your ear, to be calm, and loved, and truly safe.

#i felt the need to write this out this morning #Riven loves all his friends #and he was touch-starved for so long #so he'll snuggle them each until theyre sick of it lol #bg3 #bg3 durge #riven bg3 #astarion x durge #durgestarion #bg3 soft #bg3 team cuddles #bfd riven

#my ex and i broke up 4 1/2 months ago #we tried to stay friends #he even started working at the same company as ne #just a different store #on the 4th we went no contact #i'm having a hard time dealing with it rn #we still care for each other but he is too unstable at the moment #he has been lying to me a lot #just so he could avoid trouble #he is in a rapid cycle rn and has almost no control over the stuff he is doing #he told me that he is not recognizing himself rn #as angry and hurt as i am/was #i'm very lonely lately #it makes me angry #i've been fine for 4 months now #now i'm becoming lonely #i'm sick and I just miss the cuddles and comfort of another person #i feel so stupid #just needed to get this out

#really struggling today #my vet suspects my cat has FIP and I’m crushed since that’s basically a death sentence and he only just turned 5 :( #I know GS-441524 is somewhat available in Canada now but since it’s not FDA approved it’s like 8k #what’s worse is my family and I have a 2 week vacation scheduled on May 11 #so even though there’s this drug with a 90% success rate it’s just so incredibly expensive I doubt we could afford it #even if we did manage to get our hands on it we wouldn’t be able to administer it to him for those 2 weeks #and even though he’s doing somewhat ok at the moment who knows what his condition will be like during those 2 weeks :( #ultimately we’re trying to decide whether or not to put him down before our trip #like if he does have it and died alone and in pain while we were out of the country I would be crushed #but I’d also be crushed if we put him down when there’s the chance he doesn’t have it since FIP is so hard to diagnose #it’s the not knowing what’s going on that makes it worse #it’s so hard because he’s still so sweet and curious and has really been my rock since we got him I’m just absolutely beside myself #like the whole day yesterday he’s done nothing but cuddle me and my mom like he knows we’re upset but doesn’t know why #I just feel like I’m abandoning and failing him in his time of need #I desperately don’t want to go on this trip so I can spend more time with him and maybe scrounge up enough money to buy the drugs #and give him a fighting chance #but I can’t and I feel sick and trapped about it

I would show up to work with a mask on and wave Koro-Sensei's concern off that it's just a little cold it'll pass I'm fine to work I'll take it easy and he'd dote all over me and take anything I even attempt to work on from me and mach speed finish it so he could ask me if he could get me anything and offer me hot soup and tea and a back massage

But if I stayed home for 2 days or more he'd show up at my door whining and crying about how much he missed me and how worried everyone was (they're not, it's just him) and how I absolutely have to come to school tomorrow no matter what

And then I'd show up in a mask the next day and scenario 1 would play out the exact same way.

#Koro-Sensei #Self Ship #Proselfship #proship selfship #Ideal Polycule AU he'd hang out on the edge of the bed constantly asking if I was better yet #And whining about how he can't kiss and cuddle me when I'm sick #Which isn't true I'm pretty sure he can't catch a cold like physically #Considering his internal body temperature is like 300 degrees F #Lead melts at 300 degrees right? Anyway #I have a cold rn you see and I'm reading Office BL to make myself feel better #And I'm just having Koro thoughts as I always do when I need some comfort with something #(one of the BLs I read ended sadly and I'm still really fucked up about it) #So silly What if I caught a cold during the school year thoughts

[lichbutch]

ough i miss being in high school and unnofficially volunteering at the vet's office. nowadays theres so many requirements to be a volunteer and honestly i just want to go give cats love. nothing made me want to be a good person more than seeing how excited the strays at the vet's were when they saw me coming

#ill never forget the little orange kitten who lost part of his tail #i spent hours just cuddling and holding him #and then after he was adopted out his owners brought him back bc he got sick and needed to be quarantined #and the vet let me go see him for a minute before i left and he was so so happy to see me #or the little black kitten who was terrified of everything and everyone when he was brought in #bby boy raphael... #by the time he was adopted he was jumping into my arms the second the cage door was opened #and would cry when i left #ough i miss those cats so fucking much man

[lis-likes-fics]

i'm sorry I don't know why but seeing you thirst in tags is genuinely so hilarious to me

look 😭 i watched black panther again today and m'baku popped up and, out of nowhere, i just went "ooohhh, he's hot." like, he was attractive before, but now i'm clutching bottles of water for dear life like... i need some fics plEASE 😭

#this man would hug me if i was sad #this man would take care of me if i was sick #and then proceed to get sick after claiming that he couldn't get sick #this man would cuddle me without having to be asked #and do you see how TALL he is??? #he is 6'5 #i am 5'6 MAYBE #he is a whole foot taller than me #i am a HOBBIT compared to him #i would be so mean to him bc of how intimidating his height would be to me 😭 #but it's just because as soon as he stood too close i'd be a mess 😭 #like sir back up pls this is a wendy's #i can't take this #i need him so bad #pls im sobbing this isn't fair #why can't i meet someone who would dwarf me like that #AND be into me #this is too much #like 😭😭😭 #lis answers

"Boys don't sleep with girls" "you don't touch a girl without asking her" how about we stop gendering this shit and assuming children have sexual intentions for basic things like sleeping or giving hugs. Rephrase it as "we ask permission before touching someone" "ask for a hug first" He's 9 years old and likes doing hair and dressing up, he isn't fucking malicious

#im so sick of my family treating the boys like theyre goijg to be predators #like holy fuck theyre children who want affection and to cuddle #its a basic human need to have connection and when you separate them from the girls and make assumptions based on their sex it can fuck w #them #like?? #theres no reason to have a 9 year old believe he will hurt someone when all he wants is a hug #teach him the right words to say instead of discuraging him all together #you dont touch anyone! without asking #not just girls #'when i was younger' you mean 40-50 years ago?? times have changed be more inclusive #he asked if he could brush my hair i said 'thank you for asking and not right now because im cleaning' he said 'ok' and then #touched my hair anyway. i said 'no thank you' and then this whole conversation started ' dont touch girls #' #like chill #for someone who doesnt want to be responsible for her grandkids you sure have a lot to say
