I think I saw something earlier or last night that said that men who refuse to grow up will find women who suit their lifestyles and the mental age in which they would like to be instead of growing up, learning to be a man, learning to fulfill his role he’d rather not do the inner work and stick to a constant who will allow him to be immature and will enable him. There are so many situations (especially those I’ve seen first hand) where a man will act out, will mistreat a woman in his life, and often times his dream girl as well, and fumble that girl/woman and not be able to find what it is that he desires on a deeper level any longer or for a really long time. I’ve also seen in other instances men acting out and the women in their lives being hurt by them and mistreated by them and not being able to put their foot down and not settle for his behavior and that further agitates the situation and creates so many delays. I talked about something like this a really long time ago “men will be with/choose who they feel suits their lifestyle best” this doesn’t even always have to do with the physical manifestation of one’s lifestyle either (quality of life, hobbies, passions, or career choices and aspirations) this can greatly have to do with emotional shortcomings, bad behaviors, bad habits, unhealed aspects of one’s mind and inner self, etc.

He wants to lie, be deceptive, mistreat women in his life you may see him cling to someone whom he perceives to be or IS emotionally immature, someone who cannot hold him accountable without holding herself accountable for her lack of healing, shortcomings, habits/behaviors. Someone who struggles with a lack of self worth, self respect, perhaps someone who has people pleasing habits, who may not be capable of putting herself first or leaving in an effective way.

After all, we all embody the energy that we most often attract and as people we mirror each other and are attracted to one another through energetic frequencies. This is why we find we often come across people, friends, romantic relationships, sexual relationships or connections with others that cause deep and profound inner purging or emotional distress. Many of us have unhealed aspects and there are plenty of others whose issues cast light on our own. Those who choose to learn to be better and live a life that requires expansion and growth will learn and those who do not will remain in a space of stagnancy or create delays for oneself.

We were just eating food at his friend's house

It was just pizza and a movie, I sat in the recliner, he sat on the couch next to me

It's just that once he was done eating his food, he quickly set his food down and came over to sit in the recliner with me so we could cuddle for the rest of the movie

I never wanted the moment to end, him holding me

His hand on my leg, comforting me and making sure I don't go anywhere

So we basically ended up doing the same thing last weekend, but with more people at his friend's house

We all went out to get food in the pouring down rain, I was shivering because my clothes were wet

He held me so close to him and never let me go while we waited in line

He stayed standing behind me with his arms around me like he was silently both protecting me and warming me up in the panda express lobby

I'd long forgotten about the food, even though I didn't feel well, he was all that mattered to me at that time

We all ate while we watched a movie, or talked, or whatever.

Except this time, he was already sitting in the recliner when I sat down, ready to share it with me

So we ate sitting in the same chair and I felt like I truly had a partner

Because when he finished his food he came and sat down in the chair with me again and pulled my leg into his lap like a man on a mission

Like I belonged there, belonged with him

He held my leg in place and made sure I wasn't going anywhere

Where would I possibly go, unless only to get closer to him?

Every so often he'd lean over to whisper something in my ear or give me a random forehead kiss to make sure I was okay, to make sure I knew he saw me

He is not afraid of showing me love in front of other people

He doesn't care who sees him or judges him for it, he wants to keep his hands on me as much as he can and I don't think I've ever loved another's touch this much

He is the king of gentle squeezes while we're holding hands, even if he's completely talking to someone else

He wants me to know that he's there and he's got me and he's thinking about me

I think his friends are jealous and I can't say I even blame them

He's been whispering in my ear more lately and I felt myself come unglued

part of my nimona viewing experience. idk why but i got super emotional in the first five minutes.

ID by @peachygos

[ID: A comic juxtaposing screenshots from Nimona 2023 and drawings of a person watching the movie. The first screenshot is Ambrosius's introduction; he grins at the camera as the news anchors introduce him, his name in big print on the screen. The person watching thinks with a bored expression, "Ah. Ok. This guy is gonna be the jackass. Typical golden-boy stuck-up prince that thinks he's better than the underdog. I see where this is going.

The next screenshot is of Ambrosius and Ballister on the platform above the arena, Ambrosius doing his news anchor bit and saying, "Aaand will Ballister be broody on the biggest day of his life?" Ballister laughs at his antics. The person watching now has a small smile, as they think, "Huh! Aw, they're actually nice to each other and are friends! I wasn't expecting that, that's nice-"

The third and final screenshot is a shot from behind of Ballister leaning his head on Ambrosius's shoulder. The caption reads "the knighting ceremony is just moments away." The person watching now has a touched, soft expression, like they're holding back tears. They think "OH." as a partially transparent doodle behind them bends over crying and blubbering, with another doodle showing their heart shot through with an arrow. /end ID]

#nimona #nimona movie #my art #i dont know WHY the relationship between these two made me so happy. genuinely. but i was tearing up when they held hands #idk man. just- the feeling of 'ah. friendship between these two men like always. i see-' and then #'OH. oh god theyre in love. that so sweet. i wasnt expecting that what the fuck.'#im not an outwardly emotional person

i vote that next year instead of reading Dracula we do a Jeeves & Wooster Book Club. those two never got the rabid tumblr shipping fandom they deserved (disqualified for the sheer technicality of being published a century too soon). we must correct this injustice

#jeeves and wooster #i want to watch tumblr go rabid i want to watch ao3 overflow with jeeves/wooster fanfiction #yes obviously the fandom EXISTS but it's a cozy little neighborhood #a handful of talented artists and writers doing their best to keep their charming little village going #but i'm tired of cozy i want this fandom TRENDING #I WANT TO SEE THIS ON MY DASHBOARD PEOPLE #i swear to you if they made a shiny new tv series tumblr would absolutely obsess over these characters. good omens levels of obsession #it's just such a great dynamic! the good-natured overly-trusting bumbling idiot in constant need of rescuing!#the stoic all-knowing genius who quietly masterminds mayhem in order to protect this one moron he's devoted himself to for some reason #jeeves as a morosexual is just such a beautiful interpretation of the original text #wooster as a happy-go-lucky himbo who stumbles his way into a relationship with a protective caring and supremely competent mastermind #the angst and social complexities of a same-sex cross-class relationship in turn-of-the century london!#oh AND half the stories are about jeeves helping wooster get out of engagements/desperately avoid marriage #two men who live together constantly scheming to maintain their bachelorhood. this is quite literally the main plot point #the gay subtext is there! the gay subtext is there and very ripe for picking!!!#this thing is LOCKED AND LOADED we can pounce literally any time

Severely unpopular opinion but the use of purity culture in order to protect your children is not helpful and is incredibly dangerous and harmful. Not educating your children about sex, not allowing them to date when they come of age or start building their experience within their love lives is an issue. Dating and intimacy has always been somewhat difficult to navigate but it is especially difficult today. Your children should be dating when they are of age so you can coach them and help keep them safe and teach them the value of self love, of boundaries, what it means to be respected and valued, etc. people are robbing their children of valuable life experiences under the cover of keeping them safe or continuing to be in control of their children. This is especially popular in ethnic households and especially popular in ethnic households and communities who have daughters. There is no better way to teach your child the right values, to teach your child what it means to respect themselves and others, to teach your child how to create a safe space for themselves and others than to allow them to experience themselves and others. When you willingly make your child ignorant, when you willingly cover your child’s eyes and ears, when you willingly choose not to teach them certain lessons for your convenience, you send your child out into the world unprepared. Your job as a parent and as a caregiver is to raise them up to be prepared, and to keep them safe.

Good men deserve better from us.

I listen to him talk. I stare at him and silently ask myself why some girl hasn’t settled him down and made him a father yet. I listen to him talk, and I just wonder how it’s possible that nobody else has seen what I see in him. He thanks me for listening to him talk like he’s never had anyone care what he has to say before.

And I’m not exaggerating, he’s a genuine 12/10. He’s a wonderful person, and I feel lucky to be in his life. He’s brilliant, funny, cute, a natural leader, responsible, creative, incredibly nurturing, and generally one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. The way that he’s allowed me to comfortably fall for him has been effortless and I’d do it repeatedly.

He says he’s sorry constantly. I’ve never been so sad to relate to something in my entire life. I’ve never been so upset to understand where something came from. I can’t help but wonder who taught him that. Who made him feel like he needed to be sorry all the time.

And I get so angry when I hear how women have treated him as though he is nothing. As though he isn’t the beautiful and wonderful human that he is.

I just met him within the last year. He checks all of my boxes. Every single one of them. And yet, he tells me his ex made him feel undesirable because she treated sex with him as a chore. And it breaks my heart.

He told me we should take a trip together and offered to take me to Greece. He was concerned because none of his exes ever showed any interest in going with him. I don’t understand why not. He told me his ex said to him that she would’ve rather gone to the county fair than go to Greece with him. When he realized I actually wanted to go with him, he told me how excited he was and how much fun it was going to be and I just loved hearing how happy he was that I was going with him. He was so surprised that I would want to spend time with him or do something like that and I just don’t understand. We need to do better.

He told me she depended on him financially so much so that he felt he was responsible for paying for everything, and that carried over when I met him.

He was very alarmed when I informed him that I appreciate it a lot, but he doesn’t have to pay for everything all the time. In fact, he told me he wasn’t sure if he was comfortable with that at first.

And it just makes me so sad. Please stop treating good men so recklessly. Men need care, love, safety too. Men need a safe place to be themselves.

He never deserved to be treated that way. And I want to do everything in my power to love him better. I never want him to feel like that again if I can help it. Because he’s given me better than I’ve ever had without even being asked. He just did it. He’s been there for me more than people I’ve known half of my life, and it speaks volumes.

And I’ll say it again: good men deserve better.

“That’s my girl.” A figure of speech, a gesture of support.

“Thanks, dad~” A slip of the tongue, an innocent mistake.

Embarrassed by your faux pas, we laugh it off. It’s a running joke, now. It runs away with us. “Go get 'em, kiddo.” “I will, dad!” Neither of us are kidding. It feels too natural. I use my wisdom to help and care for you. You use your energy to inspire and charge me. It feels icky. Icky doesn’t feel bad.

You’re too nervous to take the next step. I take the lead: “Let dad take care of that.” “Here’s a cute gift for you.” “You can sit on my lap, it’s fine.” Your role is enthusiastic follower: “Thanks, dad!” “Dad, can we…?” “Daddy, I want…”

“Bedtime, kiddo. You had a big day.” You oblige. I follow you to your bedroom. You sit on your bed. I take the lead again.

A deep kiss, and a firm hand on your thigh. I can feel you push away from me. Such a big age gap, what will people think? I can feel you grind your pussy into my hand. We need this.

I grope your young body, so soft and pliant. Girls my age aren’t like that. I lick your sweet, bare pussy. Boys your age don’t do that.

A finger in your princess parts, then two. More kissing, with the tongue that calls me dad. We drop the act of being friends making a silly joke. We’re honest for once.

“…Daddy’s little girl...”

“…I wanna be a good kid…”

My thick cock pushes into your needy pussy. I can control myself, for now. You’re soaking wet, but still need to be stretched out. I’m experienced, I know when to be gentle. I know when to be rough, too. I slowly fuck you while I wait for my cue.

“I can take it, daddy~”

Now. I drive my cock deep inside of you and growl as I enjoy my little girl. Your inexperienced body doesn’t know restraint. Rubbing your clit as I fuck you into the mattress, your young pussy gets even tighter when you cum.

“Icky little girl, cumming on her dad’s cock.”

All you can do is beg and nod. I feel your nails bite my back and your breath touch my ear. We’ve waited to long for this, we enjoy every moment. Fucking my beautiful little girl, I cum deep in you.

Your head against my chest; listening to my beating heart. What will people say when they see us together? Who cares. I run my fingers through your hair, your hand rubs my cheek.

“That’s my girl.”

Types of relationships that look like love but are not:

Infatuation: This is an intense emotional or sexual attraction to someone that can give the illusion of love. However, infatuation is often based on idealized perceptions rather than a deep emotional connection.

Codependency: Codependent relationships involve one person excessively relying on another for emotional or physical needs. This dependency can mimic love, but it is rooted in the need for validation, control, or a sense of purpose.

Unrequited love: This refers to a situation where one person has romantic feelings for another, but those feelings are not reciprocated. It may involve one-sided affection, longing, or an obsession with someone who does not feel the same way.

Limerence: Limerence is an intense and obsessive form of attraction characterized by intrusive thoughts, longing for reciprocation, and an idealized image of the other person. It can feel like love, but it often lacks a genuine emotional connection.

Conditional love: In relationships based on conditional love, affection and care are only given when certain conditions or expectations are met. This type of relationship lacks unconditional acceptance and can be manipulative or controlling.

Trauma bond: A trauma bond forms when two individuals share intense emotional experiences, often negative or abusive. Despite the harmful dynamics, there may be a strong attachment due to the shared trauma, leading to a mistaken perception of love.

Transactional relationships: These relationships are based on mutual benefit or convenience rather than genuine emotional connection. Partners may stay together for financial security, social status, or other practical reasons, rather than genuine love and affection.

Manipulative relationships: Manipulative relationships involve one person exerting control and power over the other through emotional manipulation, coercion, or gaslighting. The manipulator may feign love and affection to gain control or exploit their partner's vulnerabilities.

Fantasy relationships: In fantasy relationships, one or both partners create an idealized version of the other person, often based on unrealistic expectations or fantasies. The relationship may lack a true emotional connection, as it is based on the person's fantasy rather than the reality of who their partner is.

One-sided relationships: These relationships are characterized by an imbalance of effort, care, or emotional investment. One person may consistently give more while the other takes without reciprocation. It can create an illusion of love, but it lacks equality and mutual respect.

Love addiction: Love addiction refers to a compulsive or obsessive pattern of seeking out relationships and being dependent on the euphoric feeling of being in love. It can lead to a cycle of unhealthy relationships, as the person seeks constant validation and excitement without addressing underlying emotional issues.

Actually I think we should talk about how incredibly fucked up it is for sapphic women to say shit like "I'm no better than a straight man 😔" when attracted to a woman in a way that isn't 100% pure and wholesome, or act like men's attraction to women is inherently dirty, predatory, or objectifying.

#like i mostly get impacted from this as a straight trans man #and the way people- even my friends- have acted like my attraction to women is now morally worse since i came out as trans #but this also affects like. bi/mspec men? it's shitty to shame them for their attraction to women!#and even cishet men. acting like objectification or predatory behavior is just inherent to male attraction to women #let's shitty men off the hook because 'they can't help it' or whatever #or victim blames anyone abused by a cishet man because 'what did you expect from being in a relationship with him'#yeah so like. sapphics stop saying this challenge #transhet #anti-transmasculinity #again i'm tagging because that's my personal experience with that sentiment but it has a ton of other issues too #antimasculism
