yahoo it's one of the most controversial holidays of the year!! but here, peppino whipped you up a little something for the occasion. hopefully nothing bad happens to it first.........

#whatever the hell you celebrate (or dont) today i hope you all have a good day anyways ❤ #my art #pizza tower #pizza tower peppino #pizza tower fake peppino #for me i literally couldnt care less about thanksgiving besides it being a day where you eat a lot and pass out afterwards. #and also a day where my sister gets to come over and nearly set our kitchen on fire again. #it always happens. i will be shocked if it doesnt this year. #i made the world's worst-looking rocky road cookies though so technically i've contributed to the food this year as well 👍

Tim exits the bathroom, still half asleep as he runs a hand through his hair, to find Lucy in the kitchen. The smell of coffee brewing fills the air and she’s standing at the counter by the sink, her back to him as she dices a container of strawberries and adds them to a bowl of blueberries. There’s a bag of granola sitting on the island and bowls and spoons laid out at each place setting, and it’s clear she has plans for breakfast, but as Tim takes in the scene before him, he finds himself suddenly filled with a very different kind of hunger.

She’s wearing his shirt.

It’s a dark blue button down he'd tossed on over a grey t-shirt last night after work, the extra layer a balm against the evening chill. Her apartment was warm, though, so the shirt had ended up draped over the chair in her bedroom. Tamara had texted Lucy yesterday afternoon, letting her know she’d be spending the night at a friend’s house and wouldn’t return until around noon today. Knowing they were alone, they hadn’t bothered with pajamas after last night’s… activities.

Clearly, Lucy hadn’t bothered with pajamas this morning either. The shirt hangs loosely across her shoulders and over her torso, the fabric just barely covering her ass. She’s not wearing pants, legs completely on display, and Tim finds he can’t tear his eyes away from her smooth olive skin. He absolutely loves her thighs, all soft curves and solid strength. He loves the way they tremble against him when he sucks on her clit, and the way they wrap around him as he presses her into the bed, and he especially loves the way they flex and ripple as she rises and falls above him.

His cock twitches, pressing against the fabric of his pajama pants (unlike her, he’s opted to wear pants but forego underwear) as blood begins to flow to the area.

“There’s coffee,” Lucy says without turning around, clearly aware of his presence.

She reaches for a mug and the shirt rides up, revealing most of her ass and a thin strip of black fabric across her hip. She tosses a small smile over her shoulder as she sets the mug on the counter and then returns her focus to the strawberries as though she isn’t driving him absolutely insane with her choice of outfit. Of course, it’s entirely possible she knows exactly what she’s doing to him and is simply playing dumb just to mess with him.

I don’t know if this has been done or not, but one Bowuigi headcanon I’ve thought about and love is the idea of Bowser asking Luigi to teach him some Italian words/phrases because he wants to know Luigi better and just absolutely loves to see Luigi get so excited about teaching him stuff.

Plus, whenever he and Mario have one of their ridiculous, yet really funny, arguments, it’s always fun for Bowser to see the red plumber’s reaction when he learns that Bowser not only actually understood what he said but also made a relevant snarky comeback.

lessons in survival & innocence lost

I can turn it on be a good machine I can hold the weight of worlds if that's what you need I can do it- I'll get through it…

-human, christina perri

I knew GAP was smart. I knew the writers had an expert handle on the story they set out to tell, because they've been telling it exceptionally well.

I did not expect them to give us a scene that was almost brutal in how quietly and accurately it portrayed the lengths people will go to cope- to survive- living under abuse.

I wrote last week:

"when we first meet Sam, she just seems like a cold, aloof, ever-composed high achiever. the more we learn about her past, the clearer it becomes that this was by design, not by choice."

the writers had already given us enough to piece together why Sam is the way she is, but this scene really pulled back the curtain in heart-wrenching, crystal-clear fashion.

teenage Sam skips into the room, carefree & enjoying being with her sisters. she wistfully watches Nueng on the piano, playing with a borderline-terrifying smile on her face.

Nueng catches Sam smiling & asks:

Sam responds simply, innocently: because Nueng is, of course. if her sister is happy, so is she.

a quick note on Nueng's smile: Mind really going in with her facial expressions here felt so intentional. it's obvious to us that she's forcing it, but Sam in her youthful naivete has no idea. she still sees a smile for what it is, for what it should be: joyful, happy, and most importantly- honest.

it was such a smart move on the writer's part, adding to the weight of the moment that comes next.

Mind's expressions here are the definition of "a picture's worth a thousand words."

the smile fades away, replaced by a melancholy, world-weary expression. like she knows what she's about to do, and the effect that it'll have on Sam, but that it's for her own good.

right or wrong, cruel or kind- in her mind, it'll help Sam survive.

Song pipes in first, though: she knows why Nueng is smiling like that, and what it really means.

Nueng explains that it's a ruse: she's actually under a lot of stress, so she's tricking her own body by smiling.

Nueng’s explanation (understandably) isn't enough for Sam. she doesn't have any concept yet of faking emotions, let alone why anyone would do such a thing- so she questions Song about it, too.

Sam’s still processing Song’s response when Nueng walks up, placing a gentle hand on her head. the weariness is back as she tells Sam she can do this, too.

the look of wide-eyed, innocent worry on Sam’s face when she asks “how?” nearly broke my heart in two.

this is all new to Sam, but she trusts her sisters. this must be an important thing that she learn to do, right? and these behaviors have to be learned- either out of necessity or through loving, misguided instruction, like we're witnessing here.

it was like watching a slow-motion car crash: you know the impact is coming and it’s going to be awful, but you can’t look away.

I desperately wanted to shield Sam in this moment- to keep her from learning how to twist and contort herself into something she isn’t to survive the environment she was born into.

Sam parrots back Nueng’s advice at first before confusedly asking, “what if I’m happy? can I smile then?”

Nueng doesn’t hesitate: “if you smile, you lose.” and I’m on my knees, thoroughly gut-punched.

the final nail in the coffin: Nueng telling Sam that she wants her to do that.

Freen then gives us a masterclass in loss of innocence via expression alone. we can see Sam’s light diminishing right in front of our eyes, fading into the schooled, emotionally numb look we know so well for the first time.

it’s equal parts brilliant and unbearably awful.

I can fake a smile I can force a laugh I can dance and play the part if that's what you ask give you all I am…

this scene powerfully illustrated the pain desperate people will force themselves to endure in order to survive, while passing that brokenness down to the next generation. beyond the inexcusable abuse that prompted it, the real tragedy is that it’s being passed down out of love.

there was zero expository dialogue here. witnessing Sam being brought into the warped, broken fold 'for her own good' was plenty.

it was paradise lost; it was the twilight of innocence; it was the continuation of the cycle. and it made Sam’s openly-expressive, incandescently emotional vows in the wedding scene all the more meaningful.

love, in the end, finally broke the wheel.

side note- not to nitpick but I'm gonna: I really wish they went with the actress who played young Sam for this scene rather than Freen. Sam clearly knew how to force an expression much earlier, so having Freen play this scene felt like a continuity error, even though she knocked it out of the park.

the ego trip some fic writers are on makes me want to die like girl some real world perspective would be a game changer here

#i mean it's not just fic writers but it usually is #why are you talking down to strangers on the internet because you write fanfiction that some people like #i just feel like fandom loses its fun instantly when people try and bring the internet celebrity factor into it #like when i was younger those kinds of people put me off posting my own stuff because of how self important and condescending they were #and in hindsight it's like why ???? why were they treated like gods because they *checks notes* wrote a fic with a few thousand hits #it just reminds me of that early 2000s era of fandom where people would build entire websites for themselves #where they'd go on and on about how popular and beloved their fic was #and pretend it was a means to make connections and interact with other people #but it was just an excuse to jack it to the sound of their own voice (i'm talking about the thanfiction guy) #like. what is the fun of fandom if you're not in it to just like. have fun and be a nice person and have actual friendships #“you probably know me from-” YOU ARE A FUCKING TUMBLR USER GIRL SHUT UP #it's not a nice or approachable way of interacting with other fans....we are all the same here and everyone should get to contribute equall

[ganondoodle]

just to reiterate, i know tumblrs guidelines have not changed, however i do keep seeing posts of people celebrating the porn ban being gone but .. thats not what happened, they added some filters and thats pretty much it

for now

the post by staff mentioned that those filters are part of a bigger change, so theres hope, but i wont, and you probably shouldnt either, risk a ban by posting nsfw already

#ganondoodles talks #deleted the previous post about it bc i didnt want to contribute to the confusion #dont celebrate just yet #also yes i would make a sideblog for it in case the ban does get lifted #also you can already find my second twitter if you want #just beware that i have very rarely time to post anything there so its all pretty old nhjdfknhkfdj #if you search for -not immune to big man- it should pop up on twitter #it has a slightly changed version of my profile pic #pls be over 18 tho #like seriously

WIP Wednesday

I have forgotten who tagged me last, but I know i owe at least two people a WIP. Here is one I started a while ago, but then put on the back burner because the mods are so difficult to draw.

Tagging: @eydika @griever-receiver @punkranger​ @kruk-art​ and @pearl-kite​

#FHR #Fallen Hero: Retribution #Chentega #my art #WIP #Consider this my contribution for celebrating the coming release of the next book #I will figure out the mods for these two

List of male internet celebrities I didn't expect to go through a goth cunt era but here we are

1. Daniel Howell

2. Charlie Slimecicle

#If I had a nickel for every male internet celebrity who is essential/has contributed to my lore who had a butch goth girl glowup #I'd have two nickels #Which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice

Threshold is so wild, Chakotay and Tuvok just abandon the lizard babies on the planet, and Janeway doesn’t even have a second thought about making them go back for her mutant children. I feel like every other Starfleet captain would definitely take their lizard babies if they had them-

Kirk would be like: “I will take them and bring them somewhere to be properly cared for.”

Picard would be like: “I will grudgingly bring them with us and awkwardly parent them and someday finally admit I love them.”

Sisko would be like: “I will raise these lizard babies lovingly with my whole heart and teach them to play baseball.”

And then Janeway is just over here like: “Wait, what did you do with my lizard babies? You left them on the planet? Cool! Let’s go find a nebula with coffee in it!”

Which seems a little cavalier, but then again-

Archer would probably be like: “I’ll bring them with us, and then kill them when it becomes necessary to use their spleens to power our warp engines.”

...so, actually, on balance, Janeway probably isn’t doing so bad as a mutant lizard parent after all.

it’a crazy to know that there are so many people dying, facing real life issues and instead of doing something useful to help people in need, there are people on stan twitter fighting each other over celebrities who do not give one single fuck about them

#personal #applies to every single fandom lol my god u all are a cult and suffer from severe brain rot #cannot even imagine going this feral. i remember one time i said i didnt like one kpop group on here and their fan came barking on my post #why are u taking it so personal. why would u not want to put ur energy towards being a useful and contributing member of society instead #celebrities do not need u to defend their honor. people from marginalized communities need u to speak out for them tho! hope this helps

[heart-bones]

absolutely reeling at the tswft saga today like I promise you don't have to defend her this much I understand but we're not gonna agree on it

#the never-exhausting lists of her lyrics being analyzed by ivy league specialists and how she writes for the human experience and #how if u dont like her its just misogyny and ignorance because just saying you dont like her style is saying you dont like any style #since she writes in every genre #and saying u dont like her is a statement #like its not that deep its going to be okay #i had to apologize because at one point i said 'i m eee a n 🤔' #and she got so upset #like girl its okay that its the one thing keeping you alive its okay that it's yours #i just need you to understand that its Not Mine!! #and its OKAY #we are livin on two different planets im not gonna make fun of you for your music taste? its preference! its taste! #i don't like her voice. what I've heard of her music is not anything i want to listen to #and i should be able to let that be my only contribution to the discussion without you trying to tell me I'm Wrong #please #she is a celebrity and i guarantee she does not care about you or how much you defend her

[sisterdivinium]

In the off chance Tumblr dies for real, what if we got ourselves a WN message board like in the olden times?

Or maybe I'd just set up a Dreamwidth account (again) and talk to myself, idk. There's still so much to analyse about WN and there's no fun in doing it without sharing it.

#i've been here since 2011 and i don't intend on moving. all modern social media sucks and i refuse to join bluefuckingsky. yuck #and it's not like i can celebrate the idea of ever being free from tungle because i'd probably just hang out on reddit more lol #not for wn stuff but for interesting conversations. r/fanfiction had a nice nostalgic post with lots of fun comments a few days ago #i'm joking but seriously the message board sounds so good. i wouldn't be caught dead in a wn or other themed discord #but i would nerd out on a forum all day. it's so much better than the usual social media and should never have gone out of fashion #i only WISH the wn sub were as interesting. sure you can say “but sister why don't you contribute good things there yourself?” #and my answer is that i have been drafting an argumentative text in response to something i've seen there about a month ago #but to post here. because this is my spot. because i can take my time #(or else i suppose my answer would have been a little less civil than it is becoming lol) #anyway. not panicking over tumblr but i also wouldn't be surprised whichever the result #kind of thinking about that dw account though. for backup if nothing else since this blog is the only place all of my analysis is lol #livin la vida loca without backup clearly #silly blabbering
