how i’ll survive 14th february this year

#sigh sigh sigh #i wish i wouldn't care #but i do #): #i'm obsessed with the idea that all my friends would have a better someone to spend the evening with #than me #how do you cope with that #that you're not enough #i'm so sick of that feeling

[canisalbus]

sorry im emotonal and going off of the other asks sent about machete and just i need to stress how beautiful it is to me that machete sees himself so undeserving of love and affection and feeling as if vasco's too good for him but despite all that he is so incredibly devoted to vasco and loving towards him (in his own way) but is so incredibly clear to anyone with eyes that just how in love he is with vasco. like it's not done out of a "oh god please never realize that you're too good for me here here let me overdo it with the affection" its done with the "i love you, and will always love you, no matter what happens to us or separates us, and i will give it to you as long as i am able, and if you ever leave, i won't be okay, but will still love you, and want you happy". like he doesn't use his own feelings of being undeserving taint his love or the way he loves for vasco, and it's so, so beautiful

#;M; #oauhh #that's so sweet I'm in shambles and so glad to hear all of that #sometimes I worry about whether I'm communicating their chemistry correctly #it would be so easy for this sort of relationship to gain suffocating and possessive and overall just abusive tones #and even though you could argue it would be a source for juicy drama I just don't want that #Machete could selfishly exploit Vasco's care and altruism without giving anything in return #or worse let his paranoia and jealousy get the better of him and end up destroying them both because if he can't have Vasco no one can #and Vasco could leverage his influence over Machete to manipulate and use him because out of them two he's the more mentally stable one #and it would be easy to take advantage of Machete's vulnerability obedience and his trust that Vasco would never harm him #but I don't know maybe it's a bit tropey and idealistic but I really just want these dogs to be genuinely good for each other #they have so many things working against them already I don't wish to see them backstab each other as well #they have a bit of a 'us against the world' thing going on which I really like #they're not perfect there's issues they're trying to work on but the will to get through it together is there #and I want to make it seem like they wouldn't hesitate to prioritize the other one's happiness and wellbeing at their own expense #if it came to that #anwered #anonymous

mirrors - me and my body over the years.

a short comic i've had bouncing around in my head for a few months.

when i was a kid, every morning felt like flipping a coin on whether i'd feel like shit that day. something was wrong with my body. i didn't know what it was. i was a tomboy and my family wanted me to be ladylike, so i thought i just wasn't femme or white enough.

then i got groomed out of high school, by a worthless excuse for a man who told me he understood me and liked me as i was. i wanted to reconnect with my femininity and asked for help, but he took a mile. he tried to feminize me and neg me into his perfect fantasy bangmaid. every day it was being compared to women who weren't me and being made out to be the bad guy if i didn't cave to one of his demands.

when i got away from him, i could finally examine who i was as a person without anyone else's influence. no family, no high school classmates, no abusive boyfriend. and finally figuring out the answer to that question (what's wrong with me?) didn't make things any easier. turns out i'm not a girl. now i have to live with that knowledge.

i turned 22 this year. i started HRT. i finally have a voice that i like. i have hair on my arms. i have hair on my chin and a little dirt stache. on my birthday, for the first time since i can remember, i saw myself in the mirror and thought "hey, looking good." i think i'm going to be alright.

ik that you just did something about what dates Valeria and Laswell who take you on butttt can you still do how’d they like to celebrate valentine’s day! Hope you have an awesome valentines 🩷

Hey! Sorry for not posting on Valentine's Day or yesterday, I was extremely busy with work and had some very long days ^^; But I'll post twice to make up for it today! Sorry this was a bit late as well ^^;

Valentine’s Day with Valeria and Laswell

Valeria: We’re just going to assume that she has time to spend with you this Valentine’s day and took a day off or something. Valeria doesn’t think too much about it, it’s just another day where people are taking the money straight from your wallet, either because there’s someone you love or because you’re single and need to eat your frustrations away. She doesn’t care at all about that day, and whether she does something for it or not entirely depends on whether or not you complain about wanting to go on a date with her that day. If you don’t then there will be no date. Because it’s only a cash grab sort of day, Valeria wouldn’t particularly buy you chocolates either. She really doesn’t like Valentine’s day. Complain enough and she’ll get you some chocolate straight from the chocoria, no matter how expensive. A few flowers maybe as well, but that would be it out of her own initiative. She’d much prefer to stay at home and watch some movie with you. One that isn’t about romance, just a normal action movie or comedy or something. Complain enough and she’ll sigh, grabbing her coat and ushering you outside. It’s not often that she does something like this, but you’ll be walking around Las Almas together, chatting a bit, getting some of the yummy street food out there. You’ll do something akin to sightseeing where she shows you all the places there are in the city and around it, except they’re all the places she found when she was still young and reckless. From the berry bush in the park no one knows about, to the abandoned mill by the countryside she used to hide from her parents in. Valeria is normally a classy woman who could buy the world if she wanted to, but her real signs of love would be when she isn’t spending money on you for once. It shows that you’re more to her than just another cost, another person who’s just out for her money. Or, at the very least, she trusts you to not be. While there still won’t be too much sentiment from her side, you’ll also go stargazing together if the sky is clear. She can’t tell you too much about the constellations, but you’ll just stand there and look at the stars. Valeria hasn’t had the time to do that in forever, so she’ll likely take a while.

Laswell: Again, we’re going to assume that she has the time to spend with you and isn’t out and about abroad, risking her life. Laswell has a much greater tolerance of Valentine’s day than Valeria does. She used to love that day much more when she was a teenager and was with her first girlfriend, but stopped caring as much about it as the years went by. While she doesn’t like how romance is being forced down everyone’s throat that day, she’ll tolerate it since she can’t change it anyway. However, Laswell is much more likely to do something with and for you on that day, she doesn’t complain either. Starts the day off with a kiss to your temple in order to wake you up, makes you breakfast, heart shaped pancakes with vanilla ice cream, before she gives you the chocolates and flowers she got for you. The flowers are fairly fancy, roses, dahlias, lisianthus. Anything that looks nice and could show you just how much she loves you is a-okay. After breakfast you’ll lounge around your home for a bit, doing chores together and stuff, until it’s time to leave that is. You’ll be going to a fancy restaurant together, eating at an all you can eat buffet until your hearts and stomachs are content. Of course, all of it goes on Laswell’s bill. Afterwards it’ll be something relaxing for the time being, digesting the food as you take a stroll through the park, for example. Whatever suggestions you may have, you may voice them now before the two of you will go to a jewelry store where you can pick out something gorgeous that fits you, your outfit, your eyes and whatever else there may be. After your stroll is over, you’ll likely go home together, cuddle on the couch and watch TV. It’s not the most exciting day there is, but Laswell is just glad she has a sweetheart she can spend the day with. You’ll end up watching some awful rom-coms together, complain about them and how bad they are, only to be watching the next one right afterwards. You will be eating popcorn together, salted, with caramel and maybe steal a few kisses from each other here and there while there’s nothing interesting going on at the moment. Again, it’s not much but Laswell is usually out and about just about anytime and wants to relax for a bit for once. Even better if she gets to do it with you.

Yesterday I had a workshop at work as well... #again I'm really sorry for posting this a bit later but I hope it's not too bad #in all honesty I don't care for Valentine's Day I agree with Valeria on that one ^^; #I'm kind of glad I'm single right now because that way I don't have to go out of my way to do something special for anyone #I once gave two friends of mine some chocolate on that day though. they were very surprised but also very happy #it was very sweet to see their happy surprised faces #but I think that's the most exciting thing that's ever happened on V-Day for me #I've only received something once from my co worker and never before #I don't mind that but I wish they wouldn't shove romance down everyone's throat that day. it's really annoying #like what if I don't want a partner? are you going to make me feel bad because I don't? it's happened to me before #I'm glad it's over. I'm really not one for all those fancy days. I prefer regular days where there's nothing going on at all

i think under the right circumstances I wouldn't mind ppl writing fanfics of the family since a few ppl have asked about it but...

I really wish I could comfortably say "just have fun !" About the prospect of ppl writing eevee family fics but honestly I'm worried that if ppl get characterization for the family wrong that I'd be too nitpicky in my head and I would feel bad if I didn't like it or something and at that point I just feel like it's safer to say "don't"😔

#I wouldn't mind ppl writing efverse legends related fics sm Idt but. #the family is just.... different. And it's hard to imagine anyone caring THAT much #to still want to bother writing them anymore if #I made goddamn rules for writing fics of them like... I wish I could get my head out of my ass abt this im sorryyyy

there are some people who just shouldn't be allowed to speak. like you had your chance to say things that are acceptable and failed so now you don't get to talk at all

For people who aren't aware: Most of those gorgeous wrestling photos from Japanese wrestling promotions that you see reposted on tumblr and elsewhere were taken by fans. They look like professional photos, because the fan photographers are just that skilled. But they are fan photos, taken by wrestling fans just like you.

Most of those fan photographers don't want people taking their photos and reposting them elsewhere without permission.

Fan photographers will generally clarify this in their profiles. They often even go out of their way to write this information in English too. But even if they don't, you can run their profiles through machine translate and check, and if you're still not sure, you should ask the photographer for permission directly before reposting their work.

I've seen fan photographers lock their accounts, stop posting new photos online entirely, and delete their photo archives due to rampant reposting. If you enjoy the work of wrestling fan photographers, you should respect their wishes regarding that work.

#I know many people just aren't aware that these are fan photos because the photography is such high quality #If you didn't know this before - now you do! #I know some people already know this and just don't care but I'm not really talking to them and they wouldn't listen to me anyway #I block accounts if I notice them posting a whole lot of reposted stuff like this against the photographer's clearly stated wishes #especially if that work is stolen from people who I know :| #This is not a post about crediting sources #You should of course always credit the photographer #but if a photographer writes 'do not repost my photos' that doesn't mean 'repost my photos with credit' #it means don't repost their photos

Michael wordlessly gives T’Pring her jacket as they walk through a dense fog which sticks to their skin like frost. T’Pring asks if she’s cold once, planning on arguing the jacket back onto the other girl’s shoulders when she denies it but Michael merely says “It’s logical for you to have it, given the differences in our physiology,” her tone neutral though her voice trembles.  T’Pring never offers it back to her again and Michael doesn’t ask for its return.

#T'Pring #Michael Burnham #T'Pring/Michael #their families are vacationing together somewhere or something - idk #Michael: -does something she'll forget about in like a week- #T'Pring: -remembers it forever- #T'Pring is gently running her hand along the fabric of Michael's coat remembering this #meanwhile Michael only recalls it to think 'I can't believe she never gave my coat back' #I just think it'd be lowkey hilarious if Spock was angsting about how T'Pring could ever love his human side while she's fully crushing #on his 100% human step sister #bea art tag #star trek art #star trek lesbians #star trek #also wouldn't it be deliciously angsty if Michael were 'more Vulcan' (in Sarek's view) than Spock? #and T'Pring's affections for Michael were taken as further confirmation of that?? #Michael adhering the most strictly to her father's wishes and what he thinks it means to be a Good/Ideal Vulcan while being the only fully #human child is just...-eats the idea- delicious #Michael not really caring much about Vulcan society (That's Spock's deal) but more about what Sarek specifically thinks of her #Michael Burnham art #T'Pring art

[katboykirby]

Do you think the characters would bully any demons they see smoking in the area when the MC is around?

Hm, I think that it would depend on the situation, and also on who was with MC at the time.

I like to think that demons are big on things like personal freedom and bodily autonomy, which is part of why smoking isn't seen as a problem or a big deal in the Devildom. It's your body and your choice, why should anyone care what you want to do with it? This is Hell, after all.

So unless some random demon is walking right up to MC and purposefully blowing smoke directly in their face? I can't see too many of the brothers making a big deal of anyone else smoking, or having particularly dramatic reactions, yk?

If a lower demon is smoking inside RAD (something that no one would have cared about before meeting MC) then most, if not all, of the brothers would probably just tell them to put it out or take it outside if MC was close by. Usually just speaking up is enough to get other demons to do what they want - since most lesser demons respect the Lords of the Devildom enough to listen - but if anyone gave them back some shitty attitude? Then yeah, the brothers would definitely stand up for MC and put those lower demons in their place.

Lucifer doesn't even have to deal with this sort of thing, since nobody is dumb enough to try sassing back the Avatar of Pride. Mammon and Levi would both start yelling and insulting the hypothetical lesser demon until the smoker gave up and left. Satan would make terrifying, blood-curdling, nightmare-inducing threats with a cold smile on his face, which is more than enough to scare any lower demons straight. Asmo would scoff and make a catty remark as he lead you away, only for that lesser demon's social life to be dragged through the mud on Devilgram later that evening. Beel would have to stop Belphie from doing something his twin would later regret, and the sight of the Avatar of Gluttony holding his brother back is enough to scare anyone off from messing around near you again.

But for the most part, I just don't think it would be an issue? I can only really picture the brothers stepping in if somebody was actually giving MC a problem. But if they're just out in the Devildom taking MC shopping or running errands or going to The Fall or anything like that? Well, you're in public and this is a free space, those demons can smoke if they want to. But they'll walk you further away or take you somewhere else, if they felt like the secondhand smoke was going to be a hazard. You come first!

#sorry if this is different than what you were imagining #but I like that the demons in OM care about personal freedom and autonomy and things like that #“It's not my business” until it is! #they probably wouldn't care unless someone was causing actual problems for you #but as soon as you were put at risk? THAT'S when the claws come out! #anyway #obey me #obey me nightbringer #omswd #obey me mc #x reader #reader insert #btw I really wish that there was an option for yellow text on mobile! #we can use any colour text except yellow? why?? #I'm so sick of writing Mammon with orange or white text all the time! #let me write in yellow!

[shhhh-baby-is-studying]

I get so annoyed when people tell me I'm gonna do great on a test I barely studied for. I know ur trying to comfort me, but honestly it just adds pressure. I thrive on academic validation. A C is an F in my head. So when someone I care about tells me that I'm gonna do great on a test that ik without a doubt I'm not going to do well on, it's gonna hurt me twice as hard when I bomb it. Because you had high hopes for me and I threw them on the floor.

Sorry for this really negative post, but I had to vent somewhere. I figured those following my studyblr or in the community would understand how I feel or smth. The person who said it didn't understand why I kept denying I was gonna great on the test even after I explained what I said up above. My friends also don't understand this mentality and kinda acted like I was being ridiculous and like I should've just said thank you and moved on. My rant is over now. Thank you, and I'm sorry to those who read it.

Hii!! :3

First of all, LOVE YOUR BLOG!!Your writing is so good!! May I request Rodolfo Parra x reader who is touchy? Like, they won’t if he doesn’t like it, but it’s a safety thing, like him being taller than me (even not by much) makes me secure, feeling his arm muscles to know he can protect me, holding his hand until he pulls away.

thank you!! :3

I don't think you understand the extent to which my Rodolfo is touch starved, he really wants a hug, and the ones that Alejandro give him don't really cut it, at all! Mans wants to be hugged and cuddled, so this is sort of just ideal to him!

Rodolfo with a Touchy!Reader

In all honesty, he’s hit the jackpot with you if you’re a touchy person. While he may not initiate too much physical touch himself in fear of coming off as clingy and annoying, he’s actually so touch starved, it’s unreal. If there weren’t some mental barriers there, then he’d absolutely love to touch and cuddle you whenever he could. Would love to kiss you, would love to hold you. He’s one of the biggest cuddlebugs on the planet in theory, but in practice he’s holding himself back due to the aforementioned reasons. However, he has no qualms whatsoever if you’re the one touching him, in fact, he’ll revel in it for as long as he can, or until you pull away. He gets a bit sad when you do, but he knows you’ve got better things to do as well from time to time.

Please do hold onto his arm when you’re walking somewhere, it makes him feel like the stronger guy out of the two of you. He just wants to make sure you feel safe and sound with him, and if he can accomplish just that? Heaven on earth, literally. Hold his hand, he’ll squeeze it every once in a while to make sure you know he’s still with you. You can even give him a hug in public where everyone can see you, he’ll shield you with his entire body and make sure to catch every single bullet that could come flying at you. While he’s not too big of a fan of kissing in public, thinking such a thing should be reserved for when the two of you are alone, he loves feeling your lips on him just about anywhere. Wanna kiss his cheek? His forehead? His lips? He’ll give you twice as many kisses back.

From time to time he might get a bit overwhelmed with all the affection, that’s when you might want to tone it down a bit. When he’s just downright pissed at someone or something, he’s less prone to being cuddly, but he’ll calm down eventually. Distract him, help him, give him some loving words, and he’ll be back to his usual self. Once he’s calmed down he might be a bit tired from all those emotions, so he might want some cuddles. Likely won’t ask for them, but he knows you’re always eager to cuddle him anyway.

While he does love holding something, or someone, when relaxing, nothing, to him, feels better than being held. That’s his guilty pleasure, being the little spoon, but you won’t catch him dead admitting that. In fact, he won’t even hint at wanting to be such, but he would absolutely never turn you down when you offer. Feeling your warmth against his back is nice, doesn’t matter if you can wrap yourself around him entirely or if you’re a backpack, he just wants to feel protected for once too. However, if something ever were to happen, then he’s the first to jump into action and beat the living daylights out of anyone who dares to intrude on such a sacred moment.

Hell, you can even put your head in his lap. He’ll lovingly stroke your back or your head, looking completely lovestruck at you. It’s a major sign of trust for him, especially when you’re slowly dozing off. Won’t move an inch if you do and will just continue to pat your hair, staring at you instead of the tv monitor. If you want, you can also adjust him so his head is in your lap instead, he would never say no to that either. In fact, if he’s comfortable enough, he might nuzzle into your hand, realize what he’s doing and get a bit embarrassed. He usually feels the need to be the big, strong man in your relationship, that he really shouldn’t be showing so much weakness, but how could he resist your tender, gentle touch when it’s right there? Showing you a glimpse of how touch starved he is is just about one of the most mortifying things out there, but he can’t help it. It simply feels so good.

He absolutely adores the fact he can make you feel safe. Again, he won’t really initiate much physical contact himself, but he will stand fairly close to you so you may, if you feel like it, just grab his hand and swing it around a bit as you’re walking around. You can lean into him, there’s a chance he might wrap an arm around you to make sure you won’t fall over. He loves that he can be your support system in a way that makes him happy as well. You get to touch him, he gets to be touched, it’s the most perfect symbiotic relationship out there.

At the end of the day, you both get to feel safe and sound with one another, because of your presence and because of your love. You protect each other and make sure the other is thriving, what thing in this world could possibly be more pure than that?

#cod #cod x reader #rodolfo parra #rodolfo parra x reader #I think I need Rodolfo to be real right about now #He has the cutest name I've ever heard and I want to give him a hug despite not being a touchy person myself #I would make him a marble cake and give it to him while it's still warm mans has been through way more than he should #Alejandro already appreciates this man to hell and back but more love definitely wouldn't hurt #I just really love the idea of Alejandro and Rodolfo being very very close #supporting each other as well as they could #and Alejandro would be so happy to see Rodolfo have an s/o who takes good care of him and makes sure he's thriving #he'd strive to be among their best friends instantly because he cares this deeply about Rodolfo #they both just want to see him smile and it's one of the purest things since Rodolfo is usually so stressed out. he deserves a break #los vaqueros are good I think I can appreciate the more ever since I started writing. I did not care this deeply for them while watching mw #wish they were real so I could befriend them hm #oh well thank you for the request! I'm always down for cute and fluffy stuff like that so this is a real treat!

[why-is-it-always-autumn]

I am once again reminding everyone that

"I think that character will regret that decision; I can see the bad consequences coming, and if they were a real person I would yell at them." (you were engaged enough with the characters that they feel like real people capable of making their own choices)

"I would have liked the story better if the character had made a different decision" (a matter of personal preference with no bearing on the quality of the writing itself, or even whether you agree with the decision that was made in-universe)

and "Given what we've seen from this character previously, the writer having them make that decision broke my immersion" (an actual critique)

are all different statements and do not mean the same thing, even if they can all be phrased as "I don't like that the character made that decision"

#scenario: two characters have a misunderstanding and break up #statement 1: 'no you idiot he loves you! go back to him!' #statement 2: 'contrived misunderstandings annoy me. i wish the author hadn't included this subplot.' #statement 3: 'wait why does he even care about that? hes never cared about this kind of thing before why is he mad now?' #heck you can think that a character making the Mature and Logical Choice is out of character #(the 'he would not fucking say that' effect) #'given precedent he wouldn't say 'i understand where youre coming from' he would throw a chair and start screaming' #or that its not out of character but is kind of boring #and you personally would prefer seeing the fallout of the character making the 'wrong' choice and having to fix things after #disagreeing with the characters means the story is engaging #disagreeing with the writing can mean something isnt clicking and couldve been set up better (or that you missed something) #disagreeing with the author means that you and the author are different people with different opinions and priorities #theyre not the same thing
