#love me a control freak

cuddy will be like “i don’t enable house” then continues to employ him at the place where he actively abuses patients and commits malpractice. at least wilson doesn’t have 50k of the hospital budget set aside for when house gets sued

#cuddy my dearest crazy woman. i love how disconnected from reality you are #lisa cuddy #house md #james wilson #always bothered me a little that they never played into cuddy’s specific brand of control freak tbh

Not quite sure how to politely phrase this so I'll just be blunt, sorry, but would you ever open commissions? I'd pay big bux to get my priest mouse drawn by you

I do commissions extremely rarely, I'm afraid. It's not that I don't like drawing for people (or that I have no use for that extra income), I just can't handle the additional pressure and deadlines that well at all at the moment. Sorry!

#full disclosure #I've been struggling with severe depression and anxiety for over a decade now #it seems like I get completely disproportionate performance anxiety every time #it tends to make me lowkey freak out to be frank #I'd love to be able to do commissions at least a little bit more regularly in the future #but think I have to somehow get my mental health situation under control first #if I want to reach the level of professionalism and reliability that is necessary and required for the job #thank you for the interest though! It's good to hear there would be takers if I actually did the thing #answered #cawsket

i think that if anyone was gonna write "angst" abt tim and being bi/coming out it should be about how jack drake died before tim could tell him. that despite the complicated relationship he had with a parent who wouldve, couldve, been horrible about it, tim never got the choice to tell him (or janet. i love you janet i know you wouldve supported your little guy)

like. the evidence that your parent would react horribly but the need for them to accept you and jack drake who's primary way of bonding with his kid was trying to make him a mans man (but not That kind. yk.) and clearly expected tim to be cisheterosexual vs the reality of a bisexual kid who has a lot of stake in identities and disguises. and like. jack had to grapple with the fact that tim was robin (famously.) but like

idk sorry i just think it would eat at tim. like. part of the guilt of losing the parent you have this complicated relationship with would also be tied to the "they never really knew me, they didnt get the chance or give me the space to tell them" and feeling guilty and sad that you Couldnt come out. and Not Knowing howd they wouldve reacted. and how that could tie to real internalized bullshit! because that is also an lgbt experience! especially with parent death!

#forgive me if i am. incorrect btw but from what i have seen of tims stuff in recent years #there is a focus on like...... feeling guilty over jacks murder! bc tim felt powerless to stop it! #and hes a little control freak <- mostly a joke i do love him #so its especially poignant #and theres focus on his bisexuality and exploring what He Wants #but there could be tasty intersections here to explore!!! whole meals!!!! #rook.log

Look at my boy!!! Look at his antenna and his black fingernails and the straps of armor growing over his clothes and skin as he feels so many emotions!!!! His eyes bugging out!!!! The electricity!!! The carapace growing out from under his backpack!!!!

reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher

Ghost is entering the base gym at 3 AM when he hears a solid thump, followed by a grunt and swearing coming from the obstacle course area. 

"Fuck!... Fuck this…!" 

Ghost stops in his tracks, looking over the area, confused. He decides to investigate the sound, thinking either someone's in trouble, or there's someone who isn't supposed to be there. He slowly makes his way to the obstacle training course.

"What in the bloody hell was that?" He whispered to himself under his breath. 

As he approaches closer, he sees that it's Artemis, Task Force 141's medic. 

"Fuck this! How the hell am I gonna keep up with them?!" She grumbles, unaware of Ghost's presence. 

Simon freezes upon realizing who it is, the freezing overcome by surprise when he connects that it's Artemis, and that it's 3 AM. 

'What is she doing here?' He thinks to himself. He slides his mask off, waiting to see if she'll notice him standing there. 

"Arrrggghhh!" She groans as she kicks one of the obstacles. "I'm never gonna fucking get it!!" 

His lips curl into a smile, he's trying not to laugh as he's watching her. 

"Artemis?" Simon asks, trying to get her attention. Has she still not seen him? 

She turns around at the sound of her name. "Simon!... I… I didn't think anyone else would be here at this hour. What are you doing up?" Her eyes are wide, and her face flushes, mildly embarrassed at getting caught. 

He smiles, walking up to her. "I couldn't sleep. What are you doing here, anyway?" He asks as he comes to a stop in front of her. 

He's slightly curious, but he doesn't want to push her because something doesn't add up. Her eyes are wide, like she's been caught, which she has. It's 3 AM for God's sake. But, he can't make assumptions. 

"Umm…" She stutters, embarrassed at the situation. "I've been trying to work more on the obstacle course, because I feel like I can't keep up with the team on the field… I… I just need more training… But… It's embarrassing to do it when others are watching…" 

Simon's eyebrows furrow in thought. "It's barely past 3 AM, shouldn't you be sleeping? It's a good thing you're taking the initiative, but shouldn't a full night's sleep be more important? You need it if you wanna be at 100% for your duties when the time comes." He says, trying not to sound like he's talking down to her, but more like he actually cares about her well-being. He's a little worried if he's being honest. 

"Yes, but… I just… I worry about being the weak link… I know my primary job is being the team's medic, but I don't want people to have to worry about me on the field… y'know?" She tries to explain. 

Simon nods, understanding her reasoning. She doesn't want to be the weak link, and she wants to be prepared. Makes sense. Everyone has to be on the top of their game when the Task Force works together. "I see your point, but I can assure you, love, no one thinks you're the weak link. We're all a team here, we all care about each other. It's okay, we're not going to let anything happen to you, alright? That includes during missions, we'll keep you safe. I'll keep you safe." He says, trying to lift her spirits. 

"Alright," Artemis sniffles. "Sorry for bothering you." 

Simon shakes his head. "You aren't bothering me. I'm glad you care enough and are motivated enough to try. I truly appreciate it." He says, smiling softly. 

"I'd prefer it if you kept to a normal sleep schedule though. I don't want you to burn yourself out." He adds, gently taking her hand and squeezing it. He just doesn't want her to push herself too hard. 

Artemis nods, squeezing his hand back, and taking a step closer to him. 

He wraps his arms around her shoulders. She needed this, and he knew it. 

"How about you stop for tonight… You've done plenty to prove yourself, right? I mean, you've just ran the course a dozen times on your own. You're clearly prepared." He says gently. 

"How...how did you know I've run it a dozen times? How long have you been standing there?" She whispers curiously. 

His brows furrow, thinking. "I uh… I've been watching… I guess." He says, sounding rather guilty. "Only to make sure you were okay. I didn't want to interrupt. I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable.” He says, looking a bit worried.

“No, sweetheart, you never make me uncomfortable.” Artemis says, as she leans her head on Simon’s shoulder.

He chuckled softly, feeling relief at knowing that him observing her didn’t make her uncomfortable.  “Alright, well, let’s go get you some rest, yeah? You need it. That’s a lot of training.” He says, hugging her tighter.

“Okay.” She yawns.

Her yawning signals that she really is tired, and that it’s definitely a good idea for her to go sleep. Simons nods, leading them to her barracks room. 

“Did anyone notice you come out here?” He asks, holding her hand as they walked down the hall. 

“I don’t think so. I’ve…been sneaking to the training room the past couple of nights…and I don’t think anyone has noticed…” She says hesitantly.

Simon turns to her, a look of shock across his face. ‘She’s been doing this for multiple nights?!’ “You’ve been sneaking to the training room? For multiple nights?! Artemis!!” Simon whisper-yells at her, shocked that tonight wasn’t the first time she’d been doing this. 

This was incredibly unsafe to be doing, especially alone. Sleep deprivation combined with intense training could be a recipe for disaster.

“Why didn't you tell me, or anyone else?” Simon asked, notes of concern sounding in his voice.

Artemis’ eyes started to water at Simon’s raised tone. “Because I need to be better…” She says in a small voice.

He sighs, feeling mildly upset. He didn't want her to be upset. He wrapped his arms around her, trying to provide some comfort. “Oh sweetheart, you are good enough…” He says, rubbing gentle circles into her back. “But you’re pushing yourself too hard.” 

He hates seeing her cry, he hates seeing her cry and watching her feel like she isn’t worthy, even though she absolutely is.

“Come on, try to get some sleep. Later we can talk, I’ll make you hot chocolate, the way you like it, and you can tell me more about what’s worrying you. For now, try to get some rest.” He offers softly.

“Ok.” Artemis sniffles. “I’m sorry.”

“You don’t have to apologize, love. I understand.” Simon whispers, as he presses a firm kiss to her head. “You’ll be okay. I promise.”

just read an interview where emerald fennell says saltburn is "gothic" and like..........no, it's not. it simply Is Not That.

you can't have a man fuck a grave and be like "ooh just like wuthering heights! this is gothic" because guillermo del toro and i are both going to fight you

#like......come on. saltburn spoilers ahead. #horror of love doesn't work because the narrative never decides if he did all this for Felix or for Saltburn #if he killed felix With His Hands in the Heat of the Moment maybe you have an argument. but not with poison in a preplanned murder #if the love was for saltburn then we should have gotten another gothic theme - the house as a character #the house as a character doesn't work because it simply isn't #i don't think we ever learned the actual layout of the house and it never was The Other in any scene #the walls aren't even the colors of his eyes!!! #horror of grief doesn't work because he's never out of control #he doesn't kill the others because he's out of his mind with grief. he was Always Gonna Do That. #and also your protagonist isn't an anti-hero because there is literally no point that you're rooting for him #ms fennell please tell me what you think gothic means #anyway what saltburn needed was - more homoeroticism more blood and more of him being a little sex freak #that probably still wouldn't have made it Gothic but it would have been an improved film

childe. alpha beta or omega. what are ur thoughts 🎤

i think childe is an alpha, but he doesn’t present as an alpha. he’s sneaky and smarmy and has to be adaptable due to his role as a harbinger; most people mistake him for a beta. he’s good at keeping his cool and the charismatic façade makes him oh so approachable. he simply has… peculiar tastes. but once you become the object of his attention, you quickly learn why he’s tartaglia.

#this is my personal bias but also i see him as a control freak and that just screams alpha to me. he loves betas methinks. #childe <3 #tw a/b/o #cw a/b/o #༄ kae’s mailbox

finding a character that grates against your nerves and eventually thinking, well, that's not fair, you haven't done anything; why do i dislike you? and then you dwell on this for a while and discover 'oh! you are like me when i was younger' and decide well, i'll simply learn how to love the both of you. power in this.

#N posts stuff #'what are you talking about?' fuck if i know. #but also i'm talking about penny from 'the 7' -- nosy little control freak determined to find Some foothold into Every conversation #it's interesting bc sometimes when i watch i'm like 'this character is played on the Border of metagaming' but the more i think abuot it #the less it Feels like metagaming bc penny Genuinely seems Exactly like the kind of person who just Is That Determined to be #some level of involved in Every situation; 'yeah i know that show you were in' 'Yeah i was listening into this scene from a different hall' #equal parts her being a Rogue character to her core AND her borderline pathological need for control in Every situation #w/ None of the social grace needed to temper this impulse into something more broadly 'palatable' -> very autistic to me in a way #'i don't Get It but if i'm Always Right then that's good bc it's Bad to be Wrong so i just have to Know Everything so that i'm Never Wrong' #or like 'no i don't understand the Rules right but if i can just Be In Charge of the Situation at all times then i'm the one domineering #where this is going and how it unfolds; like if i'm in charge i understand That at least so i will just Always be in charge' #and sometimes this starts fights with your friends and they call you a freak for it and you're like 'hm. i don't know what's going on #but if You said it and You Get People then you must be right so. i will alter this immediately' but penny doesn't have that interaction #because her friends are just like 'yeah i love you And that batshit way of interacting with the world that you embody' and there is a #temptation of sorts to be like 'penny you HAVE to stop that; you NEED to learn that lesson please' but then like. hm. does she? #much to think about. i don't interact w/ people enough anymore for this to impact my interactions with real people lol #but it Is interesting to peel apart a fictional character and find a Younger You in there. i can change how i think about Them at least

Man, MB snapping at ART about doing therapy-speak at it during that "this isn't you, it's your trauma treatment certification talking" exchange sure makes me feel some type of way lol.

Murderbot Diaries is like Star Trek in that 93% of the time it stays on the correct side of the line separating optimistic sci-fi from cloying hopepunk bullshit for me, and I can live with the other 7%.

Idk what round of backlash or backlash-to-the-backlash we're collectively on regarding "characters talking/acting like they're getting an A in therapy" but letting MB express that (imo justified) annoyance built a lot of goodwill for me that carried me through the bits of this book that were too sweet for my palate.

Hearing the exact right, enlightened thing at the exact right time can be super alienating. Like the person saying those words to you is holding you at arm's length the way a professional therapist has to. Dr. Bharadwaj can fill that role for MB and often does. That's not a role for ART, as an intimate friend/partner/admin assistant/whatever, and it rings true for MB to tell it to cut that shit out and just talk normally.

#murderbot #system collapse spoilers #catch me writing fic like Girl(neutral) we have got to get you out of therapy #ART the perfectionist control freak would i think struggle a lot with just talking normally and fall back on scripts #and what it's 'supposed' to do and say according to such and such science-backed protocol #which is a great way to unintentionally ice out your loved ones ask me how i know #anyway book good

If we ever do get to a point where Izzy is fully a part of the Revenge, I want him to be the fussiest, bossiest, most particular little nightmare on earth when it comes to the way they do things. He should have screaming matches with Stede over what color the curtains should be. He should spend hours with Roach going over the right way to arrange pastries on a plate. He should micromanage the hell out of Wee John when Stede and Ed decide he should sew uniforms for the entire crew.

Someone says "I thought you hated all this shit" and he says "I do, it's an affront to everything piracy is about. But if you're going to build an affront to piracy you should at least do it right."

I am a pussy so I wont be showing you who I am but I want you to know that I adore you and your writing. I can see a bit of your personality in every post and I love it. You deserve so much more praise than you get now. I hope you take time to hype yourself up a bit.

I’m—

are you kidding me? are you serious? did you not accidentally send this to me? I’m convinced that this was accidental because this is literally one of the sweetest things that anyone has ever said to me and I genuinely do not know how to respond or what to say or what to do I’m just— 💕💗💘 aaaah !! thank you?? so much. so, so much. I’m sobbing.

#genuinely what #thank you #this is one of those comments that I will never ever forget #I saw this the second I woke up and immediately sent a screenshot to my partner because I was sobbing #and didn’t know what to do with myself #I’ve been literally processing this for a few hours by now and even then this was the only reply I could muster #I wish you all the best you absolute sweetheart #it’s good that you didn’t show who you are because I would’ve fallen straight in love with you hahaha #(please don’t be scared to share who you are I’m not scary and I promise I will try to control the butterflies in my freaking tummy lol) #(I love you) #lo answers #‘hype yourself up’ me: ‘this was ACCIDENTAL I don’t deserve praise like this’ #bestie bestie I promise I’ll try to step up my game haha

I gave him a sprite edit for every basic illness known to man and made this category chart. I may have a problem. This sprite editing is addicting.

The lactose thing is just a headcanon. I've seen a lot of memes and shitposts with it and I was like, yes this is canon to me now
