Kiss Prompts: An accidental brush of lips followed by a pause and going back for another, on purpose.
The fire crackled, sending sparks upward into the night sky, and Vassanna slipped her hands around Theron’s.
“I think you’re selling yourself short,” she said softly. “Just because you don’t use magic to heal people the traditional way”—she shook his hands in emphasis—“doesn’t mean that you don’t help them, or heal them, or make them better.”
He turned to face the fire with a derisive snort, pulling his hands back to his lap, where they lay in tight fists. “I’m the only one in generations who has to resort to making healing potions and tonics. Generations,” he snarled.
“Well, your hands made those magical tonics,” Sanna retorted. “And I’m fairly well-healed, yes?” She gestured to her side, where they both knew only a whisper of a scar lay in the place of a mortal wound. “So I would say you still have a healer’s hands.”
Theron glared at her and she raised an eyebrow in return, daring him to contradict her.
“That’s not what I meant and you know it.”
He had such a low opinion of his own talents simply because they weren’t the same as most of his family line. When would he understand that he was still as special as the rest of them?
Still, it meant that he was far too easy to bait on this subject. Instead of arguing further, Vassanna simply let a smug grin find its way to her features and let her gaze drift to the fire, its light dancing before them. Deep down, Theron knew she was right. He had to know, didn’t he? A frown replaced the smirk from a moment ago.
“I’d be dead if not for you and your magic, Theron,” she whispered, “different as it may be from the rest of your family’s.”
She turned to him, needing to offer reassurance, only to find his face a hair’s breadth away. His lips brushed against hers, light as a tender spring breeze. Their eyes met and time stood still.
A moment, a year, a decade passed. Shifting ever so slightly, she leaned in closer, and he followed. Their lips touched once more, softly, gently. His hands slipped hesitantly around her waist and she wrapped her arms around his neck, her fingers finding their way into his hair.
Oh, gods, she’d imagined this before—kissing him—but it was so much better than she’d dreamed. Theron pulled her closer, kissed her harder, and Sanna decided she’d be content to stay like this forever.

Me, after forgetting to cut the top off an onion before dicing it: “Aw dammit”
The Gordon Ramsey that lives in my head: “Don’t worry there, this mistake isn’t going to ruin anything. No need to be too hard on yourself”
Me: “Wow, that’s…not what I was expecting”
Gordon: “Of course, you ought to know by now that I don’t shout at cooks just to do so. I do it because the people in hit television show Kitchen Nightmares are putting their services out into the public and claim to be good enough to have the title of head chef. You’re just some guy in your twenties making beef stroganoff for yourself and your roommate. I’m kind of a dick, yeah, but I’m not gonna scream at you for a minor mistake like this”
Me: “Oh….well…thanks”
Gordon: “You’re welcome…cunt…”

VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.
Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)

The older I get the more I admire people who are earnestly, genuinely into whatever their thing is. I know it sounds like an annoying cliche but unless you're being cruel or hurtful there is really no need to be normal about things. The dude with the bad fake accent at the renaissance faire is having the time of his life. The people having photoshoots with their fashion dolls are loving it. The old lady with a yard unreasonably full of tacky ass lawn ornaments is having a blast, HOA be damned.
Don't waste your time being too cool to have fun, y'know?

yknow AI art has ruined an entire genre of painting to me, i saw one of those smooth anime-realism pieces and immidiately thought ''ugh, AI art'' until i noticed it was posted by an established deviantart user 6 years ago. like ive never been a huge fan of that genre but it looks like a pretty difficult style to master and i feel bad for the artists who specialized in anime-realism only to have their entire market jacked by people typing keywords into midjourney.

“long hair on guys doesn’t make them less masculine. think keanu reeves, jason momoa, danny trejo, or the guy at your local dive bar who rides a motorcycle”
*the crowd nods*
“so long hair doesn’t necessarily determine masculinity”
*the crowd, more hesitant, still nodding*
“butches can have long hair—“
*GUNSHOT*
