#mutual respect

[pratchettquotes]

"I never shook hands with no king before," said Detritus. "No dwarf, either, come to that."

"You shook hands with me once," said Cheery.

"Watchmen don't count," said Detritus firmly. "Watchmen is watchmen."

Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant

The ironic part is that Percy chose Annabeth because he thought there was no way in hell they would ever be friends, so she could never betray him. Which fine, sound logic.

EXCEPT, given everything we know NOW about their dynamics, by this logic, Clarisse would have been a fine option too.

Percy and Annabeth don’t get along at first, but they end up way more than friends… Clarisse and Percy do eventually go on a quest together… and they still don’t like each other.

Hello! I’m a teenage girl who was recently diagnosed with BPD and it’s nice to see people on here that struggle with the same kinda thing. Loving your blog! ♥️

awwww fuck yeah. you are gonna be on the other side of this weird little brain blast of bpd one day and ohhhhhha shit are you gonna have the most beautiful full life kid. There is so much wild and otherworldly weirdness that exists outside the realms of your own brain prison… I am moved by even the thought that … you’ll get to see all that cool shit one day despite maybe even BECAUSE of your diagnosis. I hope you turn all the negative into art and magic and mayhem toward injustice toward the disadvantaged. I hope you recognize that you’re not evil or inherently bad or beyond monstrous at all… just hurting. I hope you are healing. You deserve love and kindness and gentleness and peace and freedom and peace. We all do.

keep up the good fight, it’s worth every agonizing and confusing second ⚡️

p.s. maybe don’t go more than like 2 weeks without a therapy session if you can avoid it 😅

Bumblebee (Transformers) Extra

Ever since Bumblebee made that confession, you can’t seem to truly think straight. The following week was probably the first time you didn’t completely detest Monday mornings. The first period rolled around, yet you could think of very little but seeing him at lunch. Grabbing a few books from your locker, you shove them in your bag. Your eyes survey the hallways, tapping your feet anxiously as you try to catch sight of Bee.

“Damn it, I must look so desperate.”

You scold yourself mentally, groaning as you make a sharp turn in the other direction.

“(Y/N)!”

You run into a sturdy chest, and you jest back. Said person grabs your shoulders lightly to prevent a fall.

“Woah I’m sorry!”

You’re steady, and you look up. Bee is smiling so brightly that you’ve almost forgotten what you’d been doing.

“I was waiting for you.” You admit. There’s no use pretending. His eyebrows lift in surprise, and he releases his hold slowly.

“You were..” He sounds hopeful, and a bit in awe.

“Yeah.” You’re wearing a little smile.

“Do you want to have lunch together?” He nods eagerly.

“Sure! Sam is almost out of class, do you want to head over there?”

“I do.”

Bee is grinning, his eyes brighter even without that magical glow. He leads the way proudly, and you follow behind, very satisfied with the pleasant feeling in your chest. From the back, you admire his frame.

“I guess this is what it feels like..”

You’ve never been someone to have crushes. Or maybe just not someone who ever acted on them. With Bee, everything just feels easier.

~~

Sam and Mikaela have found a nice spot on the bleachers.

They talk among each other, and you offer little inputs in between. Bee is speaking energetically. Every now and then you both would steal a look at each other. More than anything, you want to address that moment back at your house. But you’re not really sure how to casually bring it up. Bumblebee is sitting right next to you, but you zone out for a second, eyes trained on the field. The memories of your meeting seem to be rushing through your mind. You smile to yourself. You only tune back in when you feel eyes on you.

“Umm, sorry did you guys say something?”

Bumblebee swallows, and you’re not prepared when his palm slides past your cheek as he leans in. Your eyes are a bit wide, and his are closed as he kisses you. Right there, in front of Sam and Mikeala. Your eyelids lower, and you lean in. Even though your cheeks are on fire. This is your first kiss. With an audience to booth.

Bee pulls back so slow. Like he doesn’t want to part. You let out a soft breath, eyes flickering open.

“I’m sorry…”

His gaze looks a bit hazed, and you see the familiar blue light reflected in those hues.

“I wanted it to be in a much more romantic setting, but then I saw you space out and I couldn’t help myself. “ He licks his lips, and your heart jumps.

Why was that so sexy?

“WHAT THE HELL!”

Sam’s yell breaks the entire moment.

“When did this happen!!” He demands. You just roll your eyes. Mikeala is wearing a smile.

“You’re really dense when it comes to stuff like this.”

He turns to her.

“You knew, and you didn’t tell me!”

“I’ve known from the second I first heard him gushing about her.” Bee is the one who blushes this time. He rubs his neck bashfully. Mikeala isn’t blind, she can read the mood.

“Come on Sam, let’s go make out in the gym.” She grabs his hand. You would think he’d be excited, but he’s reluctant to leave.

“No kissing, you hear me!” Mikeala practically yanks him away.

“NO KISSING!!”

His shouts as they get further away. When they are out of sight, you look at each other, then burst out in laughter. This entire morning was just so funny. From your nervous shuffling at the lockers to your little gazes earlier. Your laughter dies down, and Bee brushes his hand against your cheek. He looks a bit amazed.

“I never thought I’d be this close to you..” He confesses.

The warmth his hand gives off makes your cheek become a shade of red once again. He smiles, thumb running over your skin. It dawns on you that Bee has been nursing this crush for some time. In all those weeks of you chasing him for a story, he’d somehow develop feelings. Which is quite the shock. Because most people just saw you as persistent. Maybe a bit annoying. But Bee, he looks almost enchanted. You’re the one who leans in this time, and he hums happily, slipping his hand into your hair.

So much for no kissing.

"I thought that sort of thing was, you know," the king grinned sickly, "folklore?"

"Of course it's folklore, you stupid man!"

"I do happen to be king, you know," said Verence reproachfully.

"You stupid king, your majesty."

"Thank you."

Byakuya Kuchiki (Bleach) - Extra 3

“Taicho, would you like to go on a date?”

Byakuya snaps the cup in his hand to pieces, and Renji freaks.

“T-Taicho!!”

Byakuya just clears his throat.

“I would enjoy accompanying you on a date.” He says coolly.

Both you and Renji sweatdrop.

“Are you really gonna act like you didn’t just snap that cup into dust!!”

He really was a different breed.

You scratch your head.

“A-Alright. When you’re done with your paperwork I would like it if you could join me on a walk.”

This worked perfectly. His desk was packed with papers, he probably wouldn’t be done for a while. That way you could start mentally preparing yourself for it.

When you look back his desk is completely cleaned, almost sparkling.

“Shall we get going?”

“HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!!”

You laugh a bit forcefully.

“S-Sure.”

Byakuya stood, moving to the door as he opened it for you. Stepping out, Renji just stands there a bit stunned.

“Love really does change a person.” He murmurs.

~~~

It’s already a bit late, and you’re thankful. Most of the reapers were either asleep or at bars getting wasted. So no prying eyes.

“I was the one who suggested it, but I have no idea what to do on a date!”

You were hoping to get some ideas from your friends before you actually jumped the horse. But Byakuya appeared much more eager than you expected.

“You seem uneasy.”

You flinch.

“Is it really that obvious?” He’s still walking in pace with you.

“I’ve said this before, but there’s no need to force yourself.”

You swallow.

“I-I’m not forcing myself.” You fidget with your fingers.

“This is a first for me, so I don’t exactly know what a date truly entails. It’s not really my area of expertise. Rangiku-san is usually the one I go to with these kinds of questions."

Byakuya sends you a look.

“I’m relieved she did not implore Matsumoto’s assistance.”

“I am fine with anything you wish to do. As long as we’re together it does not matter to me.” Your cheeks are red again.

Since the beginning it feels like he’s been doing all the chasing, and charming and being downright sweet. You can’t say that you ever anticipated your very own captain would be so earnest in regards to relationships. His cold exterior gave the impression that he was that way in every aspect.

“Then h-how about holding hands.” You extend your hand, and Byakuya stops, staring at it.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

He takes your hand gently, and you can feel your cheeks burning. You grip it softly.

“Is this alright?”

You nod, not looking at him fully as you begin walking again. Byakuya follows silently.

“Is this enough?”

“Am I enough.”

Those are the words you want to ask.

“What do you mean?” He inquires.

You bit your lip.

He’s already been married once, so surely something as minor as holding hands feels a bit lame. It’s not like you’re both just getting to know each other either. You’ve known him for hundreds of years. You’ve served under him for so long. Yet working with someone, and being with someone wasn’t the same at all.

“I’m willing to go whatever pace that you are comfor-”

“Stop doing that!” You snap. You release his hand, glaring at him.

“I may not know much about relationships, but I know they aren’t supposed to be one sided. You can’t compromise everything for me. It’s okay to tell me what you want. I won’t know unless you say something. We're meant to lean on each other, isn’t that how it works!!”

He can see that you’re agitated.

“It was not my intention to upset you. I assumed you would prefer to go at a slower pace. “

You grunt in annoyance.

“You’re doing it again!! Just tell me what you-”

“I want to hold you.” You stop your rant momentarily.

“I want to kiss you until you can think of nothing but my lips against your own.” You press a hand to your chest in surprise. Face flaming up.

“I want to be the only man that you think about. I want to hold your hand whenever we are together."

With each declaration, he’s moving closer.

“I want you to crave my touch so much that you lose all sense of rationality.” Your eyes shook.

You were the one who insisted he be more honest, but if he says anymore you’re positive your heart will jump right out of your chest.

“I’d like to be the one you run to when you need comfort, when you’re elated, when you need a friend.” His voice feels like a whisper, and his hand brushes your hair behind your ear.

“You’ve been with me for many years, and for all this time I’ve kept my most inner desires controlled. I never saw myself wanting love again after I’d lost it. But that was before I met you. Surely if I’d brought all these thoughts to you at once, you would run. You have no idea how much control I’ve exercised to keep from acting on all that I feel for you.”

His palm caresses your cheek so tenderly that you think you’ll turn into a puddle right at his feet.

“Don’t mistake my compromise for a lack of want, there is so much that I want.”

Boy did you misunderstand this entire situation.
