#neither of them are married right

Short freenoodles focused comic inspired in part by takakmimi's freenoodles post on twt!!

#I don't think he believes him #Actually married freenoodles is great BUT #The friends > queerplatonic > actually acting like a romantic couple pipeline is so funny #a. They're already both so comfy with each other that neither of them notice or b. They're both heavy in denial and won't bring it up #Sandy has been trying to wingman them together for years and has probably mostly given up by now #Mei never stops discretely taking pictures so she has IMMENSE blackmail and bragging rights the day they actually do get married #Red son is just confused and thinks they're both dumb #Mk probably genuinely hasn't figured it out yet 💀 #Do you see my vision they're great #lmk freenoodles #freenoodleshipping #lmk pigsy #lmk tang #lmk mk #lmk red son #lego monkie kid #monkie kid #Red son is so fun to draw actually I should draw him more often #Still have no idea how to draw MK's hair 💀 #Zaacoy art💫

Two people on a small bipartisan science station gently fall in love.

#S'veyk #Ehergha #S'veyk is half Vulcan half Klingon & Ehergha is full Klingon #beas ocs #both S'veyk and Ehergha bond over loving their home planets but wanting them to change their views on certain things #S'veyk wishes Vulcan were more accepting of others and Ehergha wishes there was more emphasis placed on honor in #things outside of war - though (and this is important) they both feel very proud of where they come from #Like a month after the above convo they're getting married btw #neither Vulcans nor Klingons seem to have a dating period as the cultural norm it's mostly just rituals and marriage <3 #skipping right to good stuff /j #Cute fact!: Ehergha and S'veyk attempt to nuzzle their heads together but his ridges are uncomfortable on her skin #(hers are more like raised bumps while his feel more like bone) #so they have to do it sooo carefully and gently but S'veyk insists on doing it!! #She also throws a vase at him after the above comic in an attempt to return his affections (she read about it) #and he's like 'you don't have to force it' (sorry) 'just - if it feels right you can throw something then.' #bea art tag #star trek oc #they are NOT in Starfleet

trying to plot out a xichen/huaisang emma au solely for the purposes of slotting jin guangyao and nie mingjue into the already married siblings role. in theory this leaves us with no one to play emma's dad but no they're both emma's dad for maximum impact. and obviously jin guangyao is also the nanny. and it ends with huaisang vowing to be worse, actually.

#they still get married tho no one is escaping the toxicity #i think everyone lives? maybe? #an improvement on my original jin guangyao is harriet idea #wwx is now harriet and nhs is insanely smug about wangxian #thus his vow to be worse actually #i think jc and wq are frank and jane #sorry to jc! and also frank actually they're a terrible mashup except i cannot resist them having a secret engagement on account of wq's #controversial connexions and related poverty #however since this is jc he obviously does not succeed in his plan to flirt with nhs for cover #making nhs obviously even more smug. and again #worse #originally i was also going to have jgy kill nmj after huaisang hooks them up but it's just too sad even if it's the right choice i shan't #it IS the right choice though like it should be a murder mystery-emma mashup from xichen's pov #where he's soooo concerned about huaisang and jgy after mingjue dies #and huaisang is like. using his matchmaking as deep cover to send jgy to the gallows #but that version of the story is so miserable #and i think unfair to both mingjue and jgs neither of whom are likely to get to that place in their relationship under the conditions #of this au. they're busy being married and fighting about whether mingjue should be more politically active or w/e #jgY now that was unfair to jgy #emma but no one learns anything. emma but one of the brontes was there giving notes #not anne sorry anne i love u anne

how weird is it that over half my friend group have either proposed marrying me or being a living partner with me? genq I feel like its strange but honestly it could just be the fact that the entire friend group is queer and queer friend groups are just Like That.

#I have like seven open offers right now <-tbf some of them are v old #I don't know how to tell them that getting married even without any expectations for romance is still wayyy too allo for me #as is being a living partner #I just want to live with my siblings but neither of them want to live with me 💔 so I shall make do with a roommate who is a stranger

[lumiereandcogsworth]

throughout the movie, lumiere, maestro cadenza, and mr. potts ALL call their wives “darling” at some point. like!!! no wonder adam calls belle that so much!!!! that’s what all the good men in his life call their beloveds!!!!!!!!!

#this is just like one of those moments i have where my headcanons reflect soundly in canon #also yes i Am assuming lumiere and plumette are married. that’s neither confirmed nor denied #i honestly think they eloped so young. like he’s been head over heels for her since they met when they were teenagers #and the moment plumette was 18 lumiere was like marry me marry me marry me marry me #he probably asked before she was 18 but she was like can you WAIT. A MOMENT. #i think i hc lumiere is like 2 years older or something. which means he was 20 #Which Means adam was 9. WHICH MEANS they probably got married like Right before queen renée died :( #she was always rooting for them though. she would find secret places for them to be alone together lol #she was already sick when they eloped but they do go tell her and she’s So Happy for them… augh 🥹 #anyway ajdksj didn’t mean to tangent there but!! woo !! #lyd watches batb2017 #batb 2017 #adelle #plumiere #potts thoughts #(sorry i don’t have a cadenza x garderobe tag but. *blows a kiss to them*)

billions could only have a gay man, who was married, and died by the end of that season; only deal with taylor's upending of presumed cishettery by having everyone who's not terrible be automatically down without putting some crisis about it on them, as the better approach to trying to have people talk about it (true, certainly in this case); extent of its room for rian's latent nonbinariness being "never wearing skirts/dresses, always wearing makeup though"....all that is to say, even with neither of them allowed to be "truly" cishet, b/c that's the rewarded realm for superior people, billions could never do winstuk. but they could be kissing right now

#winston & tuk: cannot be cishet in a way that matters (billions means this as an insult. i mean it as a testimonial) #sure convincing that winston's own ideals are like ''wow im the straightest in the world'' after One alleged official dating experience #and Two crushes on nonbinary people. and being the One person who's a) supported tuk b) without telling him to Stop Being A Loser #the one way other characters can Elevate(tm) tuk more than winston: not Really support him; just tell him to Become worthier #while winston: does not do this #anyway nobody at all gets to be ''truly'' ''ideally'' cishet; just like other inventions re the Correctest body/mind's look & behavior #tbt yrs & yrs ago some random lady talking abt ''queering'' her marriage by having a cellphone or smthing like ma'am i agree nowadays fr #winston Cannot have a ''correct'' sexuality even if he's supposedly ''at least'' cishet with it #neither can tuk; next most loserest dumped no gf nerd! neither Unglasses'd; neither Thin; winston's autistic; tuk isn't white.... #show goes ''well just look at & listen to him XD'' towards winston on occasion; usually doesn't ''overtly'' do this; doesn't re: tuk.... #meanwhile the idea that well Non Hot(tm) people who have no place in ideals & fantasy of Correctness & what's most desired? #they can get with Each Other :) that doesn't threaten things haha don't know how wrong they are. or have accepted All They Deserve (less) #billions is so proximately capable of letting these two be Involved in this way lmao. but it also Isn't #can barely handle taylor & just avoids addressing as much outright as often; again: one gay man; neatly married; neatly deceased.... #iconic total hc's: supplementary dynamics the ladies who are also friends they hooked up w/in 6x11 having a fourway abt it #no anxious negotiating of what must be done & must not be done to keep it all cishet ''enough'' lol. congrats to them all #winston billions #winstuk #was already thinking winston could be dating someone we don't know abt till billions tried to reassure us oh he hasn't Of Course lol right #same is true for tuk ofc but he gets the same treatment (ft. ben's utter mysteriousness re: Any mention of past dating history....) #riawin could've been great & was completely welcome; issue became how the abusiveness there would just also manifest re: sex / romance #totally won't find resonance / overlap b/w ableism & homophobia in how winston's sexuality is seen as mere sex drive that's also gross btw #tuk's really also framed the same way like Of Course You'd Be Rejected; and Any desires would become repulsively Too Much #b/c the superior parties have to want it for it to be correct! & they'd never want You! you're just completely wrong & outside of it all #winston talking at all? Too Much. he must be talked To; & that is so usually begrudging & nonideal #other ppl being horney like well of course. pretty epic really #like w/e winston's sucking & fucking & [Saluting] if he isn't dating at all. like good for him. he can make out w/tuk one way or another #''winston can go fuck himself'' (like one bg dialogue person straightup says) Okay. He Is. party for one? this too can be Sex

I saw the "#is there yaoi in the arakawa family" tag basically right as it popped up in the notes and was also left completely dead on the pavement, but honestly? As someone who is wholly and irrevocably AraSawa-pilled (whether said pill is red or blue in color is up to interpretation...), it's objectively SO much funnier if they're just Like That. I love your comics on the topic!

There's also some element of this post I saw earlier I think, divorced from the sexual context since it's not really relevant to what I want to talk about (you'll just have to bear with me there I guess lol, can't help what the post says). It's also still pretty melodramatic applied to them (even for me) when it chiefly is just. Hilarious. But what I'm trying to say is that, taking a more serious approach, "unresolved potential" is such a compelling and central recurring beat here, so what's one more instance?

I guess that post kind of presupposes that there is or could be yaoi, but I think it's kind of like. The concept of "yuri of absence." But with dads. Like that's along the lines of the emotion things like the pair of armchairs on the second floor of Jo's office evokes in me. Honestly I think this particular ask is probably one of the least intelligible I've sent and I'll probably regret it. But. It's. They're married. But they're not. But They're Married. BUT THEY'RE NOT. But th

after meeting with The Arakawa Family Council the verdict i bring to everyone today on Is There Yaoi In The Arakawa Family is:

Well,

#fave #snap chats #OK BUT NO I FEEL LIKE I AGREE TOTALLY #like it really is... indescribable.... like what's going on here... because it's definitely something..... but not THAT but???? #yeah they're married but i don't think they know that. #like its different from the married/divorced energy between kashiwagi and kazama yk what i mean #it's like. when hummingbirds co-evolve with flowers right. #like they just ACCIDENTALLY co-exist perfectly with each other after being around each other so long #like it infinitely is better if its just limbo situation where its like. What Do We Even Label This As. Should We. Do We. #cause again it's infinitely funnier if this all happens and they arent the slightest bit aware #desperately need a montage of arakawa and jo just being in really domestic situations together #but like. with the most This Isn't Anything Serious energy right #like ichi running into the office and jo and arakawa are just having a cute lil candlelit dinner #and ichi just Oh Is This Like... A Thing... but neither of them blink arakawa just wanna know what ichi wants like :)? #thank you for enjoying my comics on the idea though it's really fun walking the line between Being Serious and just Being Silly #i need to make more... but im so busy.... ill just rotate them in my head for now #ill just rb my old faves on the idea lmao #like its funny to toe being For Real bout it if not so i can make more silly slice of life manga parodies #i think itd just be funny if jo experiences human emotion for the first time and its in the most awkward situation imaginable #yk. the drama of it all its so goofy #ohhh but i dont wanna write my silly essay about them.. not now anyway... i do enjoy them immensely tho. #in case that wasn't evident. i'll ramble about them in another post of mine im sure :) #but yes thank you for your input i was hoping you'd come around LMAO i needed that peer review #and im glad- as per usual- we came to the same conclusion. We Don't Know. #edit: in review as it turns out its not old man yaoi its old man yuri. thats my final answer im locking it in

i really need to rewatch uwe before the upcoming season finale and properly gather my thoughts on it but i really really like the show! its goofy and cartoony style paired with a serious story about these warriors' souls stuck in an eternal war with the evil, the slight psychological horror of being used as hosts for said souls and almost completely discarded and disregarded (though it doesn't say too much about this, this is more my overthinking), the steampunk elements, the character designs, the voice acting... all of it. despite that i still have some irks with it, like the pacing. this show would've definitely benefited from having more episodes. for such a story heavy show 10 episodes doesn't feel enough. it worked with primal, genndy tartakovsky's previous show, because there was little to no dialogue there. it did an excellent job at making the viewer understand what was happening with mere facial expressions. but uwe characters have a lot to say, a lot to work out between each other. and it's clear tartakovsky wants to tell more. they need more episodes to do that. i hope the show gets renewed for a second season. i need everything that i'm extremely confused about to be addressed and cleared up

#the whole emmalinda thing! she's both of them and neither of them! which woman is taking the centre stage? #it's confusing. everyone calls her melinda. but she's not really herself #everytime she looks at her reflection emma's there instead. so emma is still in the ''backseat'' #this emmalinda has both of the women's memories #she's an enigma to me #dimitri while heavily influencing edred's behavior is just. not there. chilling the background. rolling with whatever (free him 💔) #alfie and seng? i have no fucking idea half the time. they're like emmalinda to me #this whole thing is so confusing.... we need to see the other hosts shining through more. not just emma. just a bit. please. for my sanity #i don't care for the romance. at least now that they are they way they are. emmalinda isn't just one person #so her being pinned with either edred or winston doesn't feel right to me. ''is she into edred? is she into winston?'' #yes and no! no and yes! she's two people!!!!! it's complicated!!!!!!!! forget the romance #it's fair to question their relationships status though considering everything (edred and melinda were lovers for eternity; #emma and winston were about to get married) #but man. whatever #WHY IS THE ELF KINGDOM JUST A FEW KILOMETERS AWAY FROM THE MAIN CITY. why are the elves that edred knew still alive #do they just live that long what the fuck #aelwulf is just going to be stuck pretending to be his brother for the rest of his life huh. that's fucked up. are they not gonna notice #this is a rambling mess isn't it. it's rare for me to go off like this in public i think. i usually keep that all in my head

i couldnt sleep last night because i was passionately ranting to myself about how the changes in the themes, messages, and general structure of the Disney Princess movies reflect the changes in generational perspectives and the socioeconomic factors of our society 🤦‍♀️

#its not JUST about feminism okay #its about how the makers and marketers and audience of the classic and renaissance movies were willing to believe that things would be okay #so all you had to do was wait and try to do good where you are #so we got stories where the protagonists didnt necessarily set out to save themselves or others #but modern makers and marketers and audiences cant believe that things are going to be okay if we dont do anything about it #so we get stories about Being Right and The Real Solution Was You #and neither story is bad!!! #we need both kinds of stories!!! #just like we need princesses who got married and princesses who didnt and princesses who saved themselves and princesses who didnt #i just. ksjdfnhjkahfiauwesjcnfwe. #maybe this is a ''ive connected the dots''you didnt connect shit''ive connected them'' moment but. it makes sense to me. #disney

Skyrim has really dynamic and fun combat gameplay but everyone is so mean there. Also they clearly designed the Civil War questline with the intention of players being able to reasonably choose either faction but instead of giving both factions valid points they just made them both suck, and it's emotionally exhausting after a while

#fuck #so it doesnt go in the tag since its kinda negative #skyrim #its like that one quest in riverwood with the love triangle #both faendal and sven are more than willing to lie to camilla. so obviously neither of them is a good choice for her right? #except you cant even screw them both and marry her yourself because faendal will COME TO YOUR HOUSE to HIT ON YOUR WIFE #its all very tiring #i think its why i fell so hard for lotro right off the bat #skyrim was the only video game id really played at the time and lotro offered me the unique ability to Act Morally #i notice this in a lot of sandboxy games tho #everyones just #super douchey

Drinking my cherry tea, eating my medenjaci, i have done one and a half word. But i won't be the first to fail this assignment at least

#we already got one who's flunking the year (?) bc of it so. it took off a bit of stress i'll be real #bc hey . if i flunk i'll not be neither first nor the only one #i'm still gonna do my best bc as i said he's like. kinda lenient in that he gives a second chance but like. i'm not as stressed #(<- lying) #i mean realistically so what if i flunk right? we literally have repeating students in our group too #people repeat years and courses multiple times it's normal #i think my real goal is to get married actually #which is difficult considering i've never even had a proper crush but #well last time i said ''i can just be in a relationship even if i don't love-love someone if they're a good person'' #i was told that that's cruel if said person actually likes me but. i don't think so? #like i'd like them back obvi they may not be romantic feelings but i can still feel attached to someone #not to mention that i'm the way i am and i don't have to love-love someone to kiss or . 👀 #i just need trust to be present #? why did i start talking ab this. anyway i need to get married pronto

It always surprised Wilhelm to hear that little reminder, that affirmation, that he did not deserve to be shunned or treated as harshly as he was: Although he was a proud man-proud of his heritage, proud of his family, proud of where he came from-and was never afraid to say so, a man could only take so much abuse before he started to believe it himself. He tried not to let it get under his skin, of course, reminding himself that they were just narrow-minded people who didn’t know him the way people like his wife and son did, but still...

...it still managed to burrow under his skin like a damned tick. It burrowed, it planted itself in him, slowly poisoned him-it made him stop, second-guess himself, even when he knew he shouldn’t. It was frustrating, exhausting, and demoralizing, but still, he hung in there. Call it stubbornness (the hallmark of a good Pace), call it optimism, a sort of Pollyanna-ish outlook on things, but he reminded himself that the harsh words, the rude stares, the little whispers...they meant nothing. He let them roll off his back, and instead chose to believe in the little reminders: From June, from Randall...

…and now, from Emily.

“Thank you, lass,” he smiled softly at that: Neither do you, he wanted to say, but for now, he settled on gratitude for the kind words of this sweet siren, sitting in his bathtub.

as i look at job listings here in korea, i cant help but still dream of that private lesson life. like, every job here will still expect you to teach 6 classes a day 5 days a week, for like a maximum wage of 2.4 million won per month. i could make twice that teaching that many classes in a private lesson setting, and i could easily make the SAME wage and just work less (ideal scenario)

#last night jiwon asked me like a million (imo unfair) questions about america and its society and why it succeeded #(unfair bc i just genuinely cant give definitive answers aside from 'it succeeded economically thanks to slavery') #and i was like 'you ask me sometimes why i dont want to move back to america and there are so many reasons and its hard to put into words' #'but one of them is that the work culture is so gross to be in and people still feel trapped in their jobs and there's no freedom to it' #and he was like 'korea is the same way it's just that i'm a specialist and you are foreigner who speaks english as a mother tongue' #'so i am inherently privileged out of genuine poverty by way of my degree and you are as well by way of being the class of foreign worker #you are. so korea has the same kind of trap for ''lower class'' people when it comes to work its just that you arent seeing it due to #your own status and my status as the main korean national whose life you are privvy to' #and i was like yes. i am aware of this. i am perfectly aware of how much poverty there is in korea and that not everyone lives as we do. #and i'm also perfectly aware of the fact that i would lose visa status and be sent back to my home country before i had any chance to #experience korean poverty. it sometimes feels like when he asks me why i dont want to go back to america he forces me to state One (1) #reason why and then takes that one reason and is like 'korea is like that too' which for starters I Know. because he refuses to acknowledge #this but korea is heavily controlled and influenced by the usa im not gonna get into that right now but I Know the similarities in many way #s between the usa and korea. secondly there are Many reasons why i wont be going back to the usa not the least of which is that #jiwon and i intend to get married and he doesnt intend to leave korea so its all a moot point anyway and idk why he keeps bringing it up #he wants to stay in korea and i wouldnt choose to move back to america so idk why he keeps like forcing me to explain myself on reason at a #time and like turn it around is trying to make me want to leave like. let it rest king i am so tired of talking about american politics #at 12 am especially bc sometimes he wants to have an argument abt it and im like Neither Of Us Is Educated Enough To Have This Conversation #i have my own lived experiences and a small amount of specific research. he has whatever they teach in school here abt america + some #internet readings. neither of us is qualified to sit and talk about this #it just feels like sometimes i'll be like 'america is a suffocating capitalist hellscape where kids get shot at school' and he's like #'well korea is also bad' and im like yeah no shit everywhere is bad everywhere is a capitalist hellscape the us has its hands in korea's #government and economy. but at least here i have a job with a decent salary and You so. #anyway. long rambling tags over. <3 #t

sometimes... both people in the relationship... just suck

#my sister continues to be the one to keep escalating things 🙃 #but he doesnt know how to shut it down so he keeps rushin rising to the bait #which puts her on the defensive even though she started it and shes still not recovered from her previous shitty relationships #so she always lashes out physically first because she feels like he's going to hit her if she doesn't #so like fuck him for continuing to push the argument and make her feel backed into a corner #but also fuck her for starting the shit and knowingly pushing trigger buttons to get him that way in the first place #and always being the one to push things from just emotional/verbal into physical #meanwhile the kid upstairs cant fucking sleep because their fighting carries through the house #and they KNOW this but neither one things thats important enough for either of them to just shut up and back down for a bit #because 'oh she's used it by now' like thats worse you see that its worse right? #and now 🙃 theyre getting 🙃 married 🙃 #'mutually abusive relationships arent a thing' OH YES THE FUCK THEY ARE AND THEY SUCK SO HARD FOR EVERYONE IN THE SPLASH ZONE

We've been so many people together, I don't know which version to display at The Event.

#wedding planning #its been twelve years #it's just a party #but a very expensive party #and weve never really been the party type for long #we'll stop by to dance if there's good music #but were over here like two hummingbirds picking out a feeder: any will work #we wont sit at it long anyway #but there are real flowers we'd rather spend that money on tasting #but the truth of it is that we moved away from our families for good reasons as soon as we graduated college a decade ago and #i think all six of our parents want the validation of our wedding so they can happily continue to repress all the rightful reasons we left #why would we give them that when all we wanted for ourselves was peace and freedom that others dont have to ask for or run away to find #neither of us know who we're validating anymore so we're probably going to plan an elopement instead #we promised them a wedding but we didnt promise theyd be there and one of them refused to come anyway #i liked making them come to me for once after ten Christmases of flying back home #but now im just... I've been cut loose like a fraying thread and I've never been happier or more content. #there is no conclusion yet #there's just the feeling of apathy and rage #its brave of us to want to get married after them in the first place #this all started because picking out aesthetics was hard lol #i guess its time for another talk about how we want to be married but its annoyingly hard for two neurodivergent brains #we love to dance but not in the middle #we can do paperwork but the rounds of chores required makes us both pause #okay #im done now #this was cathartic
