I don't know if someone else has thought of this before but it just came to me and it's really fucking me up.

The idea of someone being turned into some sort of monster/creature that has a reputation for being uncontrollably violent and being scared they're going to hurt someone they care about, but their lover is absolutely certain that they won't.

And the person just asks, in the most desperately strained voice, "How do you know?"

Their lover, instead of answering, reaches down, grabs their hand, and sets it against their exposed throat, telling them that if they're truly so convinced that they're going to hurt them, then do it.

And the character pulling away, so horrified by even the thought of causing them harm, and the lover just smiling, because their point has been proven.

Just the vulnerability... the trust in this person who could so easily do them harm and willingly placing their life in their hands with faith that they will be kind.

Bonus points if the lover is a character whose had issues trusting people in the past.

You have no idea. [My mother]... She's never around. And when she is, all she does is gripe about me. She has never once said "I love you" to me.

nobody is allowed to get upset when i have milo call sweetheart “sweetness” because something about it is very adorable to me

#'sweetness' as an affectionate nicname is actually something that can be so personal- #think about it for a second and tell me it doesn't make you go a little bit mental #it's about the TENDERNESS #the COMFORTABLE AFFECTION #redacted asmr #edit: nickname not nicname #forgive my spelling

i am once again thinking about the toothbrush scene

#star trek discovery #discovery s2 #hugh culber #paul stamets #it's about the tenderness #the easiness of a routine you can tell they're used to #it's looking at someone with such love when they're doing something as simple as brushing their teeth #it's the fact that. out of all the things they could be doing in this stolen little slice of time. they get ready foe bed together #paul bitches about his day and they get into pajamas and brush their teeth and. FUVK #it's been like three months and im still not normal about this

[ouranduck]

Idk, man. Something about a group of people who are shamed and ridiculed because they are different but choose to save the world for all the good things it's worth (such as their bond) that just makes me very sentimental.

#literally my favorite thing #i hope to write a book like this someday #writing #dailyouranduck #stranger things #i cant stop thinking about it #it's about the tenderness

the thing is that they're so fascinated by sex, they love sex, they can't imagine a world without sex - they need sex to sell things, they need sex to be part of their personality, they need sex to prove their power - but they hate sex. they are disgusted by it.

sex is the only thing that holds their attention, and it is also the thing that can never be discussed directly.

you can't tell a child the normal names for parts of their body, that's sexual in nature, because the body isn't a body, it's a vessel of sex. it doesn't matter that it's been proven in studies (over and over) that kids need to know the names of their genitals; that they internalize sexual shame at a very young age and know it's 'dirty' to have a body; that it overwhelmingly protects children for them to have the correct words to communicate with. what matters is that they're sexual organs. what matters is that it freaks them out to think about kids having body parts - which only exist in the context of sex.

it's gross to talk about a period or how to check for cancer in a testicle or breast. that is nasty, illicit. there will be no pain meds for harsh medical procedures, just because they feature a cervix.

but they will put out an ad of you scantily-clad. you will sell their cars for them, because you have abs, a body. you will drip sex. you will ooze it, like a goo. like you were put on this planet to secrete wealth into their open palms.

they will hit you with that same palm. it will be disgusting that you like leather or leashes, but they will put their movie characters in leather and latex. it will be wrong of you to want sexual freedom, but they will mark their success in the number of people they bed.

they will crow that it's inappropriate for children so there will be no lessons on how to properly apply a condom, even to teens. it's teaching them the wrong things. no lessons on the diversity of sexual organ growth, none on how to obtain consent properly, none on how to recognize when you feel unsafe in your body. if you are a teenager, you have probably already been sexualized at some point in your life. you will have seen someone also-your-age who is splashed across a tv screen or a magazine or married to someone three times your age. you will watch people pull their hair into pigtails so they look like you. so that they can be sexy because of youth. one of the most common pornography searches involves newly-18 young women. girls. the words "barely legal," a hiss of glass sand over your skin.

barely legal. there are bills in place that will not allow people to feel safe in their own bodies. there are people working so hard to punish any person for having sex in a way that isn't god-fearing and submissive. heteronormative. the sex has to be at their feet, on your knees, your eyes wet. when was the first time you saw another person crying in pornography and thought - okay but for real. she looks super unhappy. later, when you are unhappy, you will close your eyes and ignore the feeling and act the role you have been taught to keep playing. they will punish the sex workers, remove the places they can practice their trade safely. they will then make casual jokes about how they sexually harass their nanny.

and they love sex but they hate that you're having sex. you need to have their ornamental, perfunctory, dispassionate sex. so you can't kiss your girlfriend in the bible belt because it is gross to have sex with someone of the same gender. so you can't get your tubes tied in new england because you might change your mind. so you can't admit you were sexually assaulted because real men don't get hurt, you should be grateful. you cannot handle your own body, you cannot handle the risks involved, let other people decide that for you. you aren't ready yet.

but they need you to have sex because you need to have kids. at 15, you are old enough to parent. you are not old enough to hear the word fuck too many times on television.

they are horrified by sex and they never stop talking about it, thinking about it, making everything unnecessarily preverted. the saying - a thief thinks everyone steals. they stand up at their podiums and they look out at the crowd and they sign a bill into place that makes sexwork even more unsafe and they stand up and smile and sign a bill that makes gender-affirming care illegal and they get up and they shrug their shoulders and write don't say gay and they get up, and they make the world about sex, but this horrible, plastic vision of it that they have. this wretched, emotionless thing that holds so much weight it's staggering. they put their whole spine behind it and they push and they say it's normal!

this horrible world they live in. disgusted and also obsessed.

#this shifts gender so much bc it actually affects everyone #yes it's a gendered phenomenon. i have written a LOT about how different genders experience it. that's for a different post. #writeblr #ps my comments about seeing someone cry -- this is not to shame any person #and on this blog we support workers. #at the same time it's a really hard experience to see someone that looks like you. clearly in agony. and have them forced to keep going. #when you're young it doesn't necessarily look like acting. it looks scary. and that's what this is about - the fact that teens #have likely already been exposed to that definition of things. because the internet exists #and without the context of healthy education. THAT is the image burned into their minds about what it looks like. #it's also just one of those personal nuanced biases - #at 19 i thought it was normal to be in pain. to cry. to not-like-it. that it should be perfunctory. #it was what i had seen. #and it didn't help that my religious upbringing was like . 'yeah that's what you get for premarital. but also for the reference #we do think you should never actually enjoy it lol' #so like the point im making is that ppl get exposed to that stuff without the context of something more tender #and assume .... 'oh. so it's fine i am not enjoying myself'. and i know they do because I DID. #he was my first boyfriend. how was i supposed to know any different #i didn't even have the mental wherewithal to realize im a lesbian . like THAT used to suffering.

Getting railed to the point I go nonverbal, the only noise I'm making are little whimpered uh uh uh's. They notice and in between rough thrusts gently ask me if I'm doing okay, so I reach my hand up to tap their arm twice. They smile at me in recognition and praise me before pulling my hips into their lap and going even harder.

I can't stop thinking about Mercury and Medusa

Like I know it's a little early to say but I think this may be my new obsession

#mercury and medusa #nico di angelo #it's about the tenderness #it's about the love #it's about the determination to keep this small vulnerable thing alive and happy no matter how hard or dangerous it is #it's about being unrelentingly kind towards something you've been taught to fear

tododeku is about "do you see me?" "clearer than anybody" tddk is about self-recognition through the other. tddk is like a clear blue sky on a summer's day. tddk is quiet conversations under the covers. tddk is "i'll say your name but what i really mean is my love, my beloved, my home." tddk is like whispered promises. tddk is "IT'S YOUR POWER ISN'T IT?" when he really means "i see you. you are not your father. this power you have been gifted is yours." tddk is the happiness of making a new friend. tddk is challenging the other to be better. tddk is dumping your family's sordid history 10 minutes before a match. tddk is the joy of learning new things about the people you love. tddk is about the tenderness. tddk is about bad days and the quiet comfort of having someone just exist near you. tddk is about repairing family relationships. tddk is about linked pinkies. tddk is about doing that thing where you talk into a fan and your voice comes out robotic and you keep giving your friend more and more ridiculous things to say. tddk is about shoulders brushing as they walk back home. tddk is both of them asking "do you see me?" and the other going "i see you. i see you. i see you." but mostly tddk is about love

#it's about the tenderness #it's about seeing yourself in someone else #it's about being in love #CAN WE TALK ABOUT LOVE? I WANNA TALK ABOUT LOVE! #dare i say it? #katniss and peeta coded #anyway #tddk #bnha #anime.rambles #tododeku

One time I walked into a bar and the bartender looked at me and said “Hey! I am ready for more train facts!”

I had never seen this person in my life, but apparently another woman, who also happened to be a transwoman, and who looked a lot like me sat at the bar and told her a bunch of facts about trains.

I really want to meet the train fact lady

#for the record #I do know train facts #and I had to stop and think about if I had info dumped about trains to a bartender #and I’m pretty sure it wasn’t me #especially since the bar tender was also pretty sure that it wasn’t me after she talked to me for like 2 seconds #but man I absolutely would have done that #it was weird
