South Downs cottage fluff based on the Dolly Parton song “Berrypie” 🩷

#trade offer: sugar for sugar #I imagine ​Crowley is more comfortable showing affection through actions rather than words #but he loves that Aziraphale shows it through touch and praise #good omens #crowley #aziraphale #ineffable spouses #my fanart #aziracrow #ineffable husbands #good omens comic #south downs cottage #ineffable lovers #I talked to my friend about how I think how Crowley has a praise kink and she responded: doesn’t everyone? #and I went 🤔

Uploading all my Tomgreg art at once from the past few week before season 4 hits, who knows in what kind of mental state i'm gonna be once it does :')

#tomgreg #succession #dont even talk to me i started watching this show when i had nothing to do at work and now i watch it with averiel my good friend averiel #and we are going to watch s4 together and i feel physically ill from bein so excited #so ya thats what ive been up to... anyway. i love these idiots they desever nothing but the worst (affectionate) #im also a tomshiv lover btw. im the one who yells 'THIS IS HOW TOMSHIV CAN STILL WIN' while they are actively losing on screen #thats the kind of person i am #dont look at me (lying on the floor) #okay i was not going to say stuff in the tags and let the art speak for itself but i NEED to point out details in the wine Painting.. #i put a lot of work into that one. thinly veiled metaphors and symbolism yknow.. #greg is gripping the stem of the wine glass with his full fist. tom and greg are dressed in the same outfit (sock garters included) #greg look appalled but he is not doing anything about the spill. tom is fondly pouring greg more and more wine. he is doing him a favor #i colored the red wine the same way i would color blood :) oh and tom is not really touching greg #only holding the chair in place. greg is making himself look smaller than he is like usual #oh and @ the person who said that it's the inverse of the tom and nate scene i love the way you think. i did not think of that before #but god. yeah. i actually thought about the scene change from when roman uhh.. christens his office in s1. the one with the coffee machine #i always go insane at that cut. this is not exactly the same since it's more.. about emotions but yknow.. it can be.. the same...

[introspectivememories]

nah because crofty is genuinely insane because why would you say that about your coworker???? and to his face??? "this man knows lewis hamilton. friends, teammates, childhood buddies, rivals, everything but a lover." hello???? why are you saying that to nico rosberg's face???? why are you, as the lead f1 commentator, writing fanfiction about your coworker???? about him and his ex???? and also, what an insane thing to say about someone else's relationship!!! "everything but a lover"... just show them having gay sex onscreen, it would be less intimate than whatever the hell you just said.

#it's been almost 3 years since that happened and yet i still rotate that moment in my head like a rotisserie chicken #'everything but a lover'.... what a terribly intimate thing to say about another person #like isn't that more romantic than actually being someone's partner??? they are everything to you but a romantic interest #wow... they are your friend your brother the little butterflies in your stomach... everything and anything but a lover #because like you can live without a lover but can you live without the tender smile your friend gives you when something good happens? #can you live without the hugs and the shared podiums and the shared dreams and greece? #also imagine lewis coming home and eciding to watch a recap of the race and then crofty just says this... like what the fuck do you even sa #i just /know/ that the industry is scheming to bring them back together again bc what else could this have been? #david croft #lewis hamilton #nico rosberg #brocedes #f1

[chiosblog]

Nico sorry to tell ya but you're the definition of resentful gay boyfriend

I can recognize one when i see it

#i had to sit through you getting all worked up about your ex best friend for an hour #i know what you are #he is still very much pissed even after 8 years lol #if rivalry last more than 8 years you are not enemies you are lovers #lmao #brocedes #sorry for the bad quality photo l forgot to take a better one lol #lewis hamilton #nico rosberg #these probably closeted bisexual people🙄 #he is actually quite 💦 looking you know #f1 #formula 1

It's so hard to "just be friends" with someone you fell in love with.

I started writing an enemies to lovers Steddie fic that starts off as Tommy/Steve/Carol with this prompt except Im tired and I lost the plot lmao so instead let me float the images of:

Modern college town AU featuring frat president Steve, who's been convinced no one will ever really love him by his parents, his past relationships, and Tommy & Carol. The latter not only "date" him but regularly use him and his money by utilizing his self worth issues against him.

Hes barely scrapping by in class, kind of wants to pick up a side job to get out from under his parents financial thumb, and enjoys talking shit with his sort of new friend Robin at a retro vinyl store, but with Tommy and Carol reporting back to his parents/the frat he's not able to take up Robin's offer to work there with her.

The frat keeps him busy the rest of the time--he's a legacy, and several members are deeply entrenched into a competition against the other fraternities that frequently cause problems on campus due to their pranks, parties and general bullshit. Steve has to run shoulders with the college Dean and such a LOT to peace keep.

Eddie works at the major game shop across the road from the vinyl place, which helps pay for the automotive program he's in part time at the college. He runs all the D&D campaigns, including several for adults and kids. A lot of the events he tries to get going on campus get shut down as the school and police target him and the "scary kids" in a show of misdirected anger at the frats they can't touch without risk of losing out on their parents money.

Eddies particularly pissed at Steve after an infamous incident involving Eddie spearheading a pokemon go event that came into contact with some kind of frat beer run, which led to Eddie being wrongfully arrested.

Their enemies piece began with Eddie storming into Steve's frat, demanding he do something as he's one of the more influential presidents and Steve, goaded on by Tommy and Carol, refusing.

This is further cemented when Eddie finds out one of his favorite high school players, Dustin, is close with Steve and defends him constantly, refusing to elaborate much when pressed other than to tell Eddie that Steve used to watch Dustin a lot as a babysitting gig and he's a "really good guy under all the frat shit Eddie, seriously."

(Dustin does not elaborate that his mother was on the PTA with Steve's mother and that she clocked his parents abuse, and used the babysitting angle to get Steve out of that house as a kid, and Steve sees Ma Henderson more as a proper parental figure than his own parents.)

Throw in some light sub/dom dynamics, Eddie breaking into Steve's room as revenge only to overhear Tommy and Carol being downright vicious to him, and a "who did this to you" crying in the rain scene before the prompt line finally kicks in.

I wanted Tommy and Carol to be fucking gagging crying throwing up furious when Steve finally blows it all up, and for the fallout to be so insane for Steve that he ends up either starting his own frat with Eddie or throwing away his title entirely and having several of the not shit frat boys follow him out.

#fics ill never write cause i have too many wips #frat steve #enemies to lovers #steddie #prank wars #modern au #i honesty like writing tommy and Carol as more grey friends #than villians #but sometimes the plot calls for it lol

I struggle to see the appeal of Katniss and Gale as a couple and it's not just because I ship Everlark deep to my core. I am capable of loving a ship and seeing why someone ships one of those characters with someone else, even if I hate that other ship.

It's because, frankly, Katniss and Gale are boring together. There doesn't seem to be any of the classic romance tropes going on between them. And this, probably more than anything else, is why Everthorne shippers are so few and far between these days because people will ship just about anything as long as it's not boring. Toxic, illegal, annoying, problematic--this will not sway shippers. But boredom will.

Katniss and Gale fight with each other but it's not even "sexy" fighting/bickering. It's boring fighting where you just feel mad at Gale after, but not that great push-and-pull those good antagonistic romantic couples have. It's just push-push-push-push.

They're supposed to be friends, but I can only think of one instance where they share a joke with each other. Their friendship is dull and based solely on "we both need food for our families." That's built a lot of knowledge about one another, but reading the series it's hard to find even genuine moments of friendship between them. Not where one is looking out for or helping the other (I'll never deny they do that), but where it's like, yeah, I can see that they like hanging out with each other because they like the other's company. At least from Katniss's perspective, Gale's company is familiar and known, which is its appeal. But if they were meeting for the first time at 16 and 18 without all the history between them, I cannot for the life of me see them wanting to hang out.

They have no physical chemistry. Katniss's descriptions of her physical contact with Gale are flat at best and uncomfortable at worst. So it's not even like, wow, but their make-out scenes are so hot!

They have no cute or romantic or sexy exchanges with each other. Maybe the one they have after his whipping could be construed as romantic? But Katniss drops that so fast and over three books they have one line each that's just sorta cute. I have seen rarepairs built on more.

Idk, ship and let ship, I just find this one so entirely lacking anything to make it shippable.

#anti everthorne #anti-everthorne #gale slander #anti gale hawthorne #anti-gale hawthorne #i have many thoughts on “platonic everthorne” as well #more than i shared here #i also don't get that from the books at all #i love a friends to lovers story but they never actually seemed like good friends or lovers

If you hugged me it would simultaneously solve all my problems and create a million more.

But that’s a risk I want to take with you. Do you want it too?

#can we find out #I need a hug #touch starved #physical touch #hug #poetry #poem #love #love poem #love poetry #is this love #friends to lovers #friends to lovers trope #can we be more than friends #are we more than friends #falling for my best friend #fuck i’m falling for him #i think i’m falling in love #falling for a friend #falling for him #falling in love #pretty boy #love language

This has been said before but obsessed with how Nico was the one to leave, but he can’t keep Lewis’ name out of his mouth. Lewis was the one to stay, but he keeps Nico’s name locked behind his teeth

#f1 #brocedes #Lewis Hamilton #nico rosberg #I think sometimes the friendships we had in our formative years shape us more than the hand or the words of a lover #sometimes the loss of that friendship hurts deeper than to the bone #it’s like your soul was knit to another soul and now suddenly it’s not there anymore #it’s so parasocial but I feel for them #because a lot of us have been there #there is that friend who we knew and loved and who knew us #but who we don’t speak to anymore

The level of my absolute rage right now at the quotes on this tweet of new pictures of Michael as Prince Andrew calling him "ugly" and "stupid" and a bunch of other names, all because they disagreed with one thing he said/did. The fact that these are set photos and Michael is literally in costume seems lost on all of these pusillanimous amoebae, none of whom should be allowed to operate heavy machinery unsupervised. And he is playing the nonciest nonce ever to nonce, so if he looks old and creepy and unfuckable, that means he is doing exceedingly well at his job, because while it is one thing to thirst over Michael when he's playing a serial killer, thirsting over him as Prince Andrew would be SO much worse.

Also, what really incenses me is that these people were clearly only fans of the version of Michael in their heads, rather than who he actually is, and now the rose-colored glasses are off, so they are pissed. Meanwhile these same people would flip a goddamn shit if someone insulted David's looks or Georgia/Anna's, but because Michael isn't considered "conventionally attractive," it's somehow completely fine and falls right in line with the fat-shaming comments he's gotten recently. This fandom is making me want to drink all the drinks right now...

#michael sheen #welsh seduction machine #i haven't been this worked up/ragey about a fandom thing in a long time #why do people do this #i can't even with this nonsense #i swear to God people have no sense of nuance anymore #but this tells you the maturity level of who we're dealing with #please do tell me how David is sure to thank you for attacking his best friend/more than part time lover #any minute now #i've had it officially.gif #fandom woes #discourse

Been brainrotting over mob Sunny lately, so I had to make them a design

tw blood below the cut

Being left emotionless and willingness, Sunny is a simply loyal and reliable person to work with. His main job is to assist Poppy in taking medical care of family members/in cleanup of crime scenes, but would do pretty much any other work he's assigned to do by others.

Despite his cold demeanor, Sunny is very caring about the "family",,, but only as far as they have injuries, get sick etc. He doesn't feel the need to engage in any social interactions with others, doing it only if they're told to.

Aside from being a nurse, Mx. Aster is a designer who tailors the majority of "family's" outfits.

They mostly stay at the mob headquarters, since she's not the most useful in slose combat or anything of that sort (not physically well), can be required for stealthy and quiet job I suppose??

In a fight he prefers to attack from longer distance, using his shears or daggers to throw at the opponent. But anything could happen-

They may be tweaking a lil,,, but not to worry, not like anyone would witness it or remember

template by @/clownsuu

Idk if there's any use in making this relationship thing since they can't really have their own opinion on things

meh

#heehoo I love throwing my kids into the mob au #lowkey like this design more than original but still not sure about itttt #because I feel like he has too much color #mob Sunny fact they may come off as a bit sassy due to their bluntly honest and monotone speech #from stitching clothes to stitching puppets there's only one step (and one eye lol) #I feel like she'd help anyone in the mob no matter how much of an ass they are (Poppy's emotional support goatling) #welcome home #welcome home oc #welcome home puppet show #welcome home mob au #original character #sunny silly wh #mob sunny #wh oc #lil dude definitely spends all his free time (if xe gets any) in his room slash workshop designing and sewing stuff #but not only clothes lmao they're still a plushie lover like her original version #would prefer company of her plushie toy friends over anyone tbh #tw blood

John Price is such an ex-husband. Like ya’ll got married young (highschool sweet hearts probably) and split up but not before having a baby and even though the papers were filed years ago and you’ve both had relationships since then he will always love you and feel a little jump in his chest when he sees you and tells you that you look lovely, as always. He’ll make a comment about the creaking front door when he comes by and insists he fixes it for you as you tell him how his son is doing in school (he’s struggling in math. but he insists its because his teacher sucks and its not his fault) It’s been years since you’ve been husband and wife but he still keeps his wedding ring in his nightstand and a picture of you on his office desk. 

#tj talks #captain john price x reader #captain john price x fem reader #lovers to exes to friends to lovers again #type of man who does that lil rumbly sound of dissaproval when you tell him about the guy youre seeing #not because he doesnt want anybodyelse to have you but because 'you deserve better love' #'john. cmon don't make that face' 'what face' 'you know the one. He's a nice guy' 'you deserve more than a nice guy #john price x fem reader

I cannot express the anger I experience being unable to do anything about anything while Christians salivate over the idea of the Israel-Hamas conflict being a sign of the Rapture

#anyways Free Palestine #Hamas attacked innocent people #The Israeli government is terrorizing innocent civilians that just want the right to live #Jewish people deserve to have land where they are safe to go to if there is another rise in antisemitic attacks in their current home #Palestinians deserve to have their homeland respected and safe for them to live on #All of these statements can be true at the same time #and I say all of this from the safe comfort of the US #I am not the one that you should listen to about the situation. #I am not the one who you should trust to give correct information about what is going on because I get the same information you do #We should be listening to Palestinians and the Israeli civilians affected #And unfortunately the news in the US is based on Christians who want nothing more than to escalate this #They do not want to recognize Palestinians unless it brings about a world war that triggers the Rapture #And I am enraged by it #I know people currently living in Israel #I know students from Palestine #And I am infuriated by christians treating them like pawns in their little Jesus War #These are people. These are fucking people #They are friends and family and lovers and so much more #I genuinely cannot express just how frustrated I am by my inability to do anything as I sit in safety #If you get nothing else from this post please listen to Palestinians and the war crimes they've experienced for decades now #If you get nothing else please listen to Israeli civilians begging for their government to stop escalating this conflict #Please listen to Jewish people and Muslims when they say shit like this increases violence against them around the world #Anyways I'm at the doctor and someone had CNN on and I'm tired #antisemitism tw #islamophobia tw #israel-hamas war tw #rapture tw
