Sanji: My handsome Marimo.

Zoro: You think I'm handsome?

Sanji: Of course I do.

Zoro: Handsome people have both their eyes.

Sanji: Are you self conscious about your eye?

Zoro: No...I don't know. Like it doesn't matter to me that its scarred but, I don't see it as a handsome feature.

Sanji: Well, maybe not handsome in the traditional sense but I think you're a handsome guy.

Zoro: *smiles* Then I don't care if other people think I'm handsome or not. You're the only one that matters to me.

Sanji: *smiles*

the smut-writing struggle is 20% repeated pronouns, 30% choreography, and 50% needing more words to describe a human body but then you try to look up synonyms and this happens:

“she let her kisses grow openmouthed across the gloopy planes of her abdomen”

“the quagginess of her breasts”

"her neck was terribly boggy"

(supple. supple get in the car we are LEAVING)

#the first line is all that came up at first and DEAR GOD #i do prefer onelook but sometimes it's even worse about stuff like this #3 antiquated spellings of the word and then a bunch of scientific terms #onelook really needs to come with a disclaimer that's like 'only use if you're a native speaker' #tbf onelook is really designed for finding synonyms of phrases/looking up words you forgot #fic tag

Rhaenys's unadorned, loose or otherwise atypical hairstyles.

#eve best #rhaenys targaryen #house of the dragon #there's an odd throughline as to when she has her hair like this #it's usually intensely vulnerable moments #moments concerning the PERSONAL rather than the POLITICAL #where she has to prioritise or wants to prioritise the personal over the political #if we go with the idea that her typical hairstyle and the gold accessories occur when she's feeling most “herself” #which is synonymous when she's feeling at her most defensive and at her strongest #these all happen when she's stripped in some way and when she can't quite right herself #she doesn't look “normal” because she's not feeling “normal” #especially the updos #but it's interesting to note that even if you want to go with “oh her hair is loose because she's sleeping or resting” #check out episode 09 - because she sleeps with her braids in #she needs her defenses up #she's not being vulnerable in the Red Keep #she also cannot be simply a mother or a wife or a woman - not to mention an OLD woman (even though mid-50s isn't old) #but that's how the world perceives her so her hair is part of the intimidation #Rhaenys cares a lot about her appearance #anyway i'll stop ranting in the tags

They are so silly I adore them

Have some goofy Chara and Frisk sketches I colored! These are the Chara and Frisk from my dreamtale based au, but ut canon Frisk and Chara, if they can interact, also 100% have these interactions that make you say, "Aww! Look at these silly billies! These goofy goobers have so much wacky whimsy!" They really do mean so much to me

#I looked up synonyms of silly billy and the kind of words that came up were ''idiot. stupid. moron.'' and I just stared at the page like D: #Like what happened to the love? Where is the charm? Where's the endearment? Where is the playful connotation?! #Anyways. them #I like to think that Chara and Frisk can interact with each other without the player being able to see it. #The possibilities for interactions between them if that was true is expanded by like 10x #Actually I might just have to go on about this in a separate text post bc the more I think about it the more insane I can feel myself going #chara #frisk #undertale #sketches #my art #dreamtale au #coloring practice #the muppet hack strikes again lol #mine

the appearance of the brothers’ pact marks are rather simple. all of them are just the symbol of their respective sin, not even any text or circles around them. it’s surprising, as even the pact marks of lower demons have more flair.

but that’s the thing - there’s no need for it.

the level of intricacy of a demon’s pact mark is almost always a direct indication of their power level. it’s similar to a brightly colored wild animal - if you see someone bearing an elaborate pact mark, be wary of them. but this “rule” is applied to only a majority of demons.

not the brothers, however.

they are fallen angels, the literal avatars of the seven deadly sins. why waste time on detailed insignia when billions already know and fear them? for you to have their marks is a clear indication of your power, something others should be terrified of the moment they lay their eyes on the symbol of the sins.

warning signs should be direct, after all.

#the brothers aren't like other girls #had to look up 'x' synonym a few times for this one #i love pact mark hcs smmm #i really feel like the brothers' marks should stand out #but as much as i wanna make them big and intricate #all my ideas make them sound gaudy #so i went with the opposite #wait did i just apply minimalism to fucking obey me pact marks- #WHATEVERRRR #obey me #om #obey me hcs #obey me headcanons #obey me pact marks #original #hcs

Oscar is over here sighing like he didn't just hurk down half a pork chop and then lick the plate.

#oscar #i asked a search engine if i was spelling hurk correctly #and it was like 'you just made up a new word' #so i looked at synonyms of eat #and none of them resemble hurk enough for me to misremember them #so i guess i just made up a new synynom for eat

“Neurospicy” lends itself to those who are able to be viewed as “quirky” by society. By using it as a replacement for “neurodivergent,” you are alienating a large population of the people who fall under that category.

#we have a HUGE problem currently by making ‘neurodivergent’ synonymous with just ADHD or possibly sometimes also a low-supportive needs— #—autistic person #we LARGELY IGNORE those who cannot speak up for themselves—or even those who do. #how many people will have no recognition of this new movement because their problems don’t look like ours? #how many people will have to remind you all that dyslexia and dyspraxia are neurodivergencies? #‘neurospicy’ does NOT help those with higher support needs #and what about children? as in young kids? what of them being called ‘neurospicy?’ #they are already not taken seriously and belittled by adults who seemingly ‘know better’ #and we want to trade off a helpful label for something tiktok has us say to get around censors? #sorry but you cannot call my little brother ‘neurospicy’ #and you cannot call ME ‘neurospicy’ #I do not struggle every day for my issues to be cutesyfied #this is incredibly belittling. use it for yourself. do not use it for anyone else. do not call us a ‘neurospicy community’. #unless you intent to only include people with ADHD. #or low support needs. #like you usually do. #actually autistic #actually audhd

ok see when i say luz and hunter are siblings i don't just mean like they hang out and make fun of each other sometimes. i also dont just mean they have parent-child connections with the same adults making them "found family siblings technically" or however people describe it. they can do that sometimes but what i mean is that they are blood brothers (east asian concept)

#toh #the owl house #luz noceda #hunter toh #hunter noceda #look up the definition of the mongolian anda #or the chinese 结义兄弟 #i love that kind of relationship its like platonic marriage but MORE #not that historically a lot of blood brothers werent gay as hell ofc #but yeah i dont really see a lot of mention of this kind of relationship in western media? #beyond just mega ultra best friends #which makes sense bc its more of an asian concept i guess #and when asian media popular in the west does do blood brothers ppl just misunderstand it and accuse it of being incest or whatever #boo :( #anyway my point is i love the concept of blood brothers i want to shove more characters into that box #and in the case of luz and hunter at least my view of their blood brother-ness is still platonic bc i dont ship that <3 wise #but yeah platonic romantic blood brothers ppl going through a failing brotherhood where theyre not the same person you swore the oath with #its a whole new dimension of spice #i guess a lot of it is synonymous with just. being friends but yeah #shut up pandora

the way Miguel conceptualises the alternate self and Gabriella is sooooooooo ahdhdjfj god he’s so mentally ill and emotionally isolated. like, he views himself and the other Miguel as functionally synonymous (“I found a universe where I was happy”) and thus sees Gabriella as essentially as much his own daughter as she was to the man she actually knew.

#miguel o'hara #miguel and spiderverse’s silence on our Miguel’s family life just leads me to think they’re either dead or the relationships he had w them #are so broken as to be unsalvageable #but man. MAN. he wanted that life so badly he considers himself to be synonymous with alt Miguel. And his attachment to Gabriella IS one #defined by him going that’s my daughter 🥺❤️ oh her dad is dead? I’m also her dad! and that life looks so happy and SHE is what makes it so #why can’t we both have that. #god. he needs therapy he needs ALL of the therapy and also like. a hug. dude. you’re so damn depressed my guy 😔 #im thinking spiderverse the narrative doesnt dig into the whole. you didnt RAISE this girl miguel thing ik you love her but you're not her #father thing because theres already sm going on in the narrative and its more streamlined to keep his conflict solely on the canon conflict #but in world id wager the reason other characters dont dig into that with him is because like. how do you even approach a conversation like #that. for all the messy and fucked up moral complications theres no doubt that miguel SINCERELY loved gabriella. and considering timeline #wise this all went down a few months ago and everyone has been busy mopping up anomalies. ofc no one wants to have this conversation if it #doesnt look like it needs to be had <- miguel just slowly losing his emotional gourd in the corner over just. ALL of this lmao #tunes talks spiderverse

I'm in a silly goofy mood, so let's talk about female boobs in the ren faire. A completely different post by @ionlydrinkhotwater prompted me to go back and re-read those chapters, specifically with a focus on how breasts are talked about it. And it's funny because this is one of the main things used to read Simon as potentially attracted/sexually interested in women, but for me, this is in my top 2 reasons why I argue the complete opposite (i read him as aspec)

Unless I'm forgetting something about Penny, out of the main four, Baz is the only one who explicitly labels his sexuality. He knows enough about himself to label himself as gay. Using the character who is 100% sure breasts are not his "cup of tea" to introduce us to the "abundance of cleavage" tells us pretty clearly that this is really impossible not to notice. As in, even someone who isn't into it at all, and who isn't out there wanting to look at boobies can't possibly ignore them.

Baz here is very aware of boobs and potential interest in Simon, for the same reason Simon is very aware of Lamb as a "handsome vampire with an interest in Baz". It's good ol' jealousy. (Both experience jealousy that comes from much insecurity in this book, Baz is much more chill and low-key about it though lol).

But hear this: Simon doesn't fucking react. (As someone who falls somewhere in the ace spectrum, but can potentially be attracted to anyone regardless of gender–and has thought a lot about the difference between aesthetic attraction vs sexual attraction/interest– boobs are pretty damn high in the list of things confirming I can be very into women, if I was in that position, I would definitely struggle with not looking)

This is kinda like how Baz has zero fucks to give about whether or not Lamb is attractive, it wasn't relevant enough to even care (in awtwb Simon notes, surprised, that Baz “didn't notice” how "fit" Lamb is) (Both of them are hyper-aware of other people being potentially interested in the other, but neither truly registers other people showing interest in them. It tracks with them being truly uninterested in other people, romantically and sexually). These books do not spend much time with descriptions, but when they're there, it's pretty purposeful. Given the reason Baz is noticing boobs in this scene, he would absolutely note if Simon reacted, even if it's to look down/directly towards the breasts, or to turn back to keep looking at the woman while she goes away. All we focus on it's only on what the woman is doing though, meaning that Simon was most likely just standing there, not doing shit. He immediately answers Penny on a completely different subject, not distracted at all. In fact, the only thing that gets his attention here is food. He's pretty enthusiastic about it, truly.

It's also worth noting that, while we have reasons to believe Simon is very good-looking, it's much more likely that Simon picked the nearly-topless woman's attention because of his wings. This is almost immediately afterward:

Simon is stealing looks because his wings are out! Surely y'all wouldn't think I'm crazy for making the following connection: wings out=tits out. What do they have in common? well, freedom, for one. Just like how Simon can't usually walk around with his wings on display (like he's doing here, while everyone just thinks it's cool as hell), a woman can't usually just walk around nearly topless (there are much more situations where dudes can go around shirtless)

My man here nearly comes into contact with boobs and he doesn't even notice. He doesn't register it! All he's focusing on is the food, and what he can have to drink. While looking "a little green" is probably about the lack of papers (or maybe being denied access to alcohol, which Simon wants at the moment?) it's quite a choice to have that being voiced immediately after boobs almost come into contact. Also interesting that what immediately follows is a comparison to Ebb, a woman Simon loved like a close friend, like family. Baz notices the boobs (because they're practically in Simon's face) but Simon doesn't. He shows no interest at all. This is what he thinks about this moment:

He's 100% focusing on the food. All he has to say about this woman, all he notices about her is that she gave him free chocolate sauce, and how friendly that was of her. This is the highlight for him, he didn't pay attention to anything else. Food is used to express connection and love in the series, and this is about Simon feeling welcomed. Everyone is so nice.

This is about freedom and acceptance.

And when are in Simon's POV, this is what we get about boobs.

First of all, "I'm not mad about it" just means "I'm ok with this, I don't have a problem with seeing this". Which isn't really enthusiastic, it doesn't even read as particularly interested (you don't have to be horny or feel sexual interest to be cool with people showing skin). If a character who's explicitly sexually interested in women said this, I'd think they're trying to downplay it. Most importantly: this can't be separated from how, while he thinks this, he's also thinking "was I ever into women? am I only sexually attracted to Baz?".

I've said this many times, and I'll say it again: as a boobie-liker, if someone is looking at breasts, and he's only doing it because he's absolutely surrounded by it and it's impossible not to, and literally never outside of that, and this prompts "it's possible that I was never attracted to women" I'm inclined to think that mayhaps boobs aren't his cups of tea either. Simon has boobs practically on his face at least twice, this would be the moment to bring that up. And he doesn't. He doesn't bring up breasts that were close to coming into contact with him when he mentions them, his breast comment is as in passing as the women he's observing with the vampires (that's what prompts the thought, women he's looking from afar, and not the ones that were very close to him). It's a general observation.

It's also interesting that Simon, who's a generally a more observant character than Baz, is much less "detailed" when mentioning breasts. You actually get a far better idea of how out and truly everywhere the boobs are from Baz's POV (it's in line with Baz to be much more detailed in noticing clothing though, Simon only says corset and calls it a day) "Cleavage" and "busty" are also what I use when I want to be vaguer/less "explicit" about breasts for whatever reason. Simon's observation is a brief sidenote, especially compared to Baz's thoughts, and it's secondary to what the questions he's making about himself reveal. ("Am I still attracted to women?.... was I ever, really?" is in line with doubting/starting to question the heteronormative thinking that trapped Simon during his school years, the kind that assumes straight as the default)

Finding a way to make female boobs about Baz is truly on brand for Simon (he only has eyes for him, I tell you, very in passing comments about other ppl's appearances included, in the way Baz only has eyes for him). His Baz-only-sexual comment, to me, it's part of the reason I read him as aspec, perhaps even demi. Also relevant is that, besides the way heteronormativity can fuck this up, is common for acespec people to spend a lot of time wondering "is this sexual attraction?", struggling to come up with answers, while just knowing you're attracted instinctively is pretty common for allosexuals. (aesthetic attraction vs sexual attraction is also relevant here).

Also relevant is that Simon does show clear signs of attraction in the ren faire. Before entering:

Baz can tell Simon is looking at him with interest. He's looking at him, literally tongue out (similarly, Baz licks his bottom lip while looking at a shirtless Simon in awtwb. Quite suggestive I'd say). We know Simon has a thing for Baz's hair, and he can't help but stare at him when Baz lets it down and free. Baz would've noticed in jealousy if Simon couldn't help but stare at boobs, he was paying attention to that and was ready to intervene (shooing away the nearly topless woman).

Simon also has a thing for Baz's eyes:

Simon is so attracted to Baz that it makes him silly. My man was really out there thinking Baz is... what, striking a pose to prepare for death??? and his main focus is "his eyes are very attractive". Obviously, his thoughts aren't very clear at the moment. His attraction derails them lol

We do get an important bit that says something about the way Simon experiences attraction, and it has nothing to do with boobies

Simon, whose love language includes murder, gets so horny at Baz throwing a couple of flames to do a little murder (without even using a wand!) that he jumps him while in the middle of an escape. He can't control himself. He thinks Baz is hot when he fights. And he's telling us that he used to pick fights with Baz for horny reasons!

Also relevant, on the subject of attraction, it's this part from when Simon is thinking about (failed attempts) at having sex with Baz. (This is where the e-book was when I opened it again before going to the ren faire chapters, and I can't resist adding it lol)

Sexual attraction and romantic love. Hand in hand.

least favorite online trend is "post or article masquerading as a helpful or informative resource on a certain topic, but is chalked full of so many complicated words and subject specific phrases that anyone with an average vocabulary and/or someone who is not already well versed on the topic wouldn't be able to understand it, rendering the entire thing obsolete"

Man tumblr is great solely for the reason that I can post whatever extremely specific and off-brand piece of art I want to my main blog and as long as I tag it right, the people who want to see it and will appreciate it the most WILL find it

Like I always felt weird about posting about fandoms that weren’t directly related to video games and anime for instance because most of my followers quite understandably don’t care about bands from the 70s. But on here?????? I can post a goofy cover of an electric light orchestra song I made in a week and the person with a blog thats 50% pictures of young Jeff Lynne will go nuts in the tags

#and lord i haven’t forgotten the shipping LMAOO #most ship art I saw on Twitter was stuff where the ship was almost synonymous with the fandom itself #like narumitsu for instance #but on here it’s just so much easier to look up specific ships from large ensemble casts where not everyone latches onto the same pairings! #cubey’s words

In city after city, the mass-market, working-class housing of its time has acquired a distinctly bourgeois reputation today. In all cases, the reason lies in economics, not design. What's abundant becomes culturally coded as middlebrow; what's scarce becomes culturally coded as elite.

There is abundant evidence that nearly the entirety of the U.S. and Canada are dramatically undersupplied, not just in quaint historic places, but in walkable urban places, period. It's our “shortage of cities“ that makes urbanism a hot commodity. Even if car-free design to the extent of Milwaukee Avenue isn't a majority preference—and it likely isn't—if a product serving a niche preference is rare enough, its price is liable to be bid up by those who hold that preference.

The answer to this isn't to lower our standards for design or to be dismissive of the things that are really lovable about these places. The answer is simply to allow a lot more Milwaukee Avenues to exist. And the same goes for the likes of all of today's beloved, "charming" historic districts.

#personal #this can also be generalized to accessible housing #it's cheap to build and expensive to renovate #scarcity of accessibility is imposed by artificial scarcity rather than difficulty #and walkable cities can look like whatever accessibility dream we want because it IS cheaper #it's just that both are synonymous with rich people so they just build less and less of it to 'protect investments' #and watch the number go up #disability #classism
