the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
#yeehaw#1k#5k#10k#posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference#edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense#also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags#1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now#he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic#2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign#like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock#3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing#it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is#extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once#it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life#i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about#Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect#if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it#aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

Hyunjin wanted to paint you, but when you walk out in his button up... he gets a bit distracted.
i do in fact believe hyunjin is 100% a ass typa man 👌🏼!
When felix introduced you to him, he was obsessed, all he wanted to was paint you.
Your soft features so sweet and kind and your body— boobs that he could tell just by looking at were soft to the touch, little belly that would poke out so cutely and plush thighs and ass, you were a mix of cute and sexy.
God he was loosing his mind, he needed to paint you...
He needed you...
He begged felix to ask you to be a model for his newest art work, and much to his excitement you said yes.
He couldn't wait.
You walked up to hyunjin's apartment door, nervous to knock on the door.
"Just knock the door." your bestfriends voice spoke through the phone.
"Felix, i'm scared." you weren't scared of hyunjin himself, you were scared of how you acted around him, like a high school girl nervously talking to her crush.
"You know he finds you attractive right? he's been waiting for this day for the past week, just knock on the damn door, before i call him and tell him your standing outside his door like a psycho." and with that he hung up.
"So rude." you sighed, slowly putting your hand up to the door, about to knock, but the door opened.
"oh." you jumped back, startled and he grabbed your arm stopping you from falling. "You okay?" His smile like honey.
"Y-yes."
"Felix told me you were out here, and you were nervous about coming in." you swore felix hated you sometimes.
"I-i'm not nervous." he smiled, moving back so you could come in. "I won't bite, you can come in." You slowly walked into the apartment, taking your shoes off.
"Do you want something to drink, before we get started?" His eyes grazed over your body, as he made his way into room, sitting in the seat across from you.
"No, im fine thank you." He smiled , he could tell you were nervous, you could barely keep eye contact with him.
He thought you were so cute.
"__, why are you so nervous?" He stood up, sitting closer to you. "No." You quickly said, and he smiled again. "Did felix tell you what the project was?" His eyes traveled down your body.
It was a nude painting, yes you were aware what it was. You weren't necessarily insecure about your body, but being nude in front hyunjin made your heart fall to your ass.
"Y-yeah."
"Before we continue, I need you to verbally say you want this, i want this to be a safe space for you." You could tell he was serious. "I-i want this, i swear im fine."
"Good girl." and just like that, he was back to making you feel like a giddy school girl. "You can go get ready in my room while I set up everything."
He was so excited, he was finally getting to paint the girl that captivated his mind for the past few months, he had the entire thing planned out in his head.
"I didn't want to come out fully naked, and i didn't bring a towel, i hope you don't mind that i took a shirt from you."
"That's fin-" he was speechless...
You were wearing his button up from the other night—and you weren't wearing anything underneath it.
His cock began to hardened in his pants, two buttons, buttoned right under your boobs so it covered everything... god he wished it didn't.
He couldn't wait, he needed you now.
"__." His voice deepening, sending shivers down your spine. "You look so fucking good." He eyed your entire body up an down.
The way he was looking at you, like he wanted to pounce on you right then and there.
"H-hyunjin." He couldn't help it, it's like his body was moving on his own, and before you could react, his lips we're on yours.
"Princess what are you doing to me? why am i so addicted to you." He kissed your neck, wrapping his arms around your waist.
"W-what d-do you mean?" He groaned at your cluelessness, it was so cute.
"I can't get you off my mind, your pretty face, how cute you are when you get nervous around me- fuck your beautiful body, and i thought i'd be able to control myself around you like this, but seeing you in my shirt, i can't stand it, i need to fuck you."
you moaned as he grabbed your tit through the shirt, running his finger over your nipple. "Such pretty tits, i knew they'd be soft, i want to fuck these next time." hyunjin knew this wasn't gonna be the last time.
"Hyunjin, p-please do s-something." He backed you up, until you could feel the couch hit the back of your knees.
"Lay down, ass up." He took his clothes off, throwing them somewhere, tugging at his cock at the sight of your body as you got into position.
"such a nice ass." He spread your cheeks, mouth watering at the slick that coated your plush thighs. "Fuck, so wet princess, i got you really worked up huh?"
"Hyunjin!" You let out a pornographic moan as he licked a stripe up your slit. "I knew it." He began to eat you like a starved man.
The lewd noises he was making, turned you both on.
"oh my god!" you squealed as he rubbed your clit as tongue prodding at your hole. "fuck! hyunjin, im gonna cum, please i'm gonna cum." tears wielding in your eyes.
"go ahead, cum on my tongue for me."
His words alone sent you straight over the edge, your thighs shaking as you came.
"Good girl, so sweet." he lifted your half spent body up, kissing you, his plump lips wet from spit and your essence.
You turned back around, and he grabbed your hip, pushing his hardening cock against your ass. "you feel that love? that's how hard you make me." he grabbed his cock, rubbing it against you.
"P-please f-fuck me." you wiggled your hip. "so eager" he positioned his tip at your entrance, groaning as he stretched you out, both of you moaning in pleasure.
"So fucking tight, you're barely letting me in." you whined, fucking yourself down on him. "Your ass if fucking perfect." He slapped your ass, watching it juggle.
"hyunjin, shit!" you screamed as he began to pound in and out of you. "such a cute face, who knew you were such a freak, but you're fucking yourself on me."
"fuck, if you keep clenching around me like this, im gonna cum inside your pussy, do you want me to do that? hmm, fill this pretty pussy up?" You could barely form any words as he fucked into you as rough fast pace.
"H-hyune, i'm-i'm gonna cum." He reach over kissing your neck as his hand reached in between your legs, rubbing your clit.
"Me too- fuck!- cum." You let out a scream as you came, body falling limp on the couch.
"fuck!" He pulled out jerking off releasing on your back. "Shit."
"You okay princess?" you nodded breathless. "I'm fine."
"Don't move let me get something so we can get you cleaned up." He put his clothes back on, letting you rest while he cleaned you up.
While he cleaned you up, he couldn't help but take in your fucked out state, eyes still glossed over, laying on your stomach, ass poking out a little under his shirt...
absolutely beautiful, he had to paint this, this was his new project. "Wait princess don't move."
"Huh?" you questioned. "Why not." You watched him get up. "I want this to be my painting."
"I want to paint you just like this."

The day this man dresses himself in fitting clothes is the day a little part in me dies.
While i absolutely can't get enough of this thick and wonderful chunky man, i want to emphasize that it seems like Richard lost some weight in the last couple of months, at least it seemed like this in the two new videos we got with him (the guitar signing and i think the speaker company one), and I think that's great and good for him ☺️

Hi there! I'm slowly working on a One Piece OC and she has a logia devil fruit that allows her to turn into water/ control water (like Ace's devil fruit). I was wondering if you could do something with Law x femme reader with this type of power? Maybe something to do with him finding out about her devil fruit because she doesn't like people knowing about it.
(My character's story is that she was forced to eat the devil fruit because her parents hated that she loved spending time in the water and swimming with her mermaid friend, so they wanted to take away the one thing she loved. Her parents are aholes if you couldn't tell lol)
AAAH that sounds really cool!! I've got an oc that got forced/coaxed into eating a DF too and ough the angst that comes w that 😔👌🏼 but I hope I can do this justice for you!!
[Heads up!: canon typical violence]

"Come on, just a sip! A tiny one, you won't even notice!"
"For the last time, no." You inch away from where Penguin'd been leaning over you, making grabby hands at the canteen looped over your shoulders. "If you're that thirsty, find somewhere to get your own."
"Rude," he huffs. "Not like Captain'll let us stay long enough to actually relax."
"Should've thought of that when picking a career choice," Law answers. "Not exactly smart to stick around anywhere when your face is on a Wanted poster."
Penguin wilts before he starts his pleading anew by slinging his arm around Law's shoulders. "Come on, Captain. It's been forever since we've been allowed fool around."
"Get off me," Law snaps, "and stop playing around. We're not on a vacation, damn it."
"Just give in," you intone, "you know he'll just get the others to pester until you do."
Penguin grins, and Law scowls. "Don't encourage that behavior," he tells you before he pinches the bridge of his nose. "Fine. But I better not regret this."
"This is your fault, you know." Shoulders slumped, Law watches the scene unfolding just a few feet away with a look somewhere between embarrassment and annoyance.
"Don't be such a grouch. They deserve to remember don't have to be so serious all the time." You take a sip of your drink and peek at Law, who's sitting beside you. "You could learn to do that too."
Law looks away, even as his knee bumps against yours. "I'd rather not."
You shrug. "Suit yourself." Glancing at him, you can tell that he's far from thrilled to be here, from the set of his jaw to the tension in his shoulders, gaze sharp beneath the brim of his hat. "We can leave if you want to."
"I doubt they're ready to," he says, dipping his head at the tableful of crewmates who are engrossed in whatever party trick Clione is trying to attempt.
You slide off your seat. "I can come collect them later, or they'll find their way back on their own."
Law debates for a moment before he follows you, aware of the eyes that follow your departure. Outside, he quickly falls into step beside you. "We're being followed."
"I'm aware," you answer, listening to the additional set of footsteps. Reaching down, you work the the cap of your canteen open as discreetly as you can.
Law listens as the foosteps quicken, hand moving to use room, but you beat him to it. Pivoting on your heel, your hands come up, and all Law sees is the barest hint of blue before the footsteps stop.
Turning, his eyes widen a fraction at the sphere of water encompassing the man's head, bubbles spilling from the corners of his mouth as he struggles, trying to claw at the water.
"I wouldn't if I were you," you say, tone level despite the fact that you're casually drowning someone, a pale blue glimmer to your hands that Law realizes belatedly is also water.
You wait until the man's eyes roll back and his arms drop before you bring your hands down, guiding the stream of water back into your canteen before you approach the collapsed stranger.
"He's still breathing," you report before you rummage around, producing a crumpled wanted poster with Law's face on it. "Bounty hunter, maybe. Not a very good one, though."
There's the melt of your hand into water, quickly turning the paper soggy and illegible before turning towards Law, who's staring at you.
"You never told me you'd eaten a devil fruit."
"It never came up," you say, and when his eyes narrow, you look away. "It's not something I'm comfortable talking about. Figured the less anyone knew, the better off I was."
"That's understandable," Law says, "but I don't appreciate being left in the dark, especially about my own crew." He takes in the slump of your shoulders, expression easing a fraction. "I won't tell anyone, if that's what you're worried about. But from now on, I want you to be honest with me. Got it?"
You nod. "Got it."
"Good." He gives you a small, barely there smile. "Now lets go get our crewmates before they get us into more trouble."

happy wednesday, spike! i wanted to ask about ur thoughts on dean + gender + pregancy, how those things intertwine and interract. does deans "thing" for getting knocked up affect the way he views himself as a man? feel free to answer this in an omegaverse way or in a cis or trans (masc or fem!) way, i would just like to hear your thoughts!
happy w...sunday, anon! i've been wanting to get to this ask all week but i didn't feel like typing out what was sure to be a long answer on mobile lol. and a lot of gender stuff
for WW a couple weeks ago somebody asked me if i thought deanna would have any kinks that dean wouldn't, and here's a pull from my answer:
I think I mostly view Dean/na having the same kinks no matter the gender, but it’s more of a case of whether or not there’s shame involved. Whereas I think Dean might feel ashamed about his panty kink, especially since he tries so hard to adhere to those masculine gender roles, there is nothing holding Deanna back from outwardly sharing her lingerie kink with Sam. Who would extremely be down to indulge her. I think Sam would find his sister just as hot in like, a sports bra and old cotton bikini-style undies as he would in some (stolen) Victoria’s Secret or something (can’t see either of them considering stealing something designer, but Deanna’s tiddies in one of them VS bombshell bras? Ok Sam is a red-blooded bisexual male and he’s WEAK!) 👌🏼👌🏼 Same goes for breeding kink. Cis or trans man Dean? You’re only gonna get “knock me up” out of his mouth if he’s really undone. But Deanna is like hell yea Sam put a fuckin’ baby in me!
like okay, i'm ME, so i'm ALWAYS viewing dean as wanting to get knocked up and being hype about it lol, but if i'm taking canon as canon is presented (i.e., as far as we know dean is a cis man of questionable heterosexuality who is always trying very hard to adhere to a certain kind of masculinity), i do think he would find this facet of himself emasculating and shameful. a panty kink is one thing, but to admit to himself that he not only wants kids but he wants to be the one to birth them is........a lot for him to handle, i think. dean is really gentle and good with kids in canon. and he more or less raised sam. he knows he likes doing that, he's good at it, but i also think he's so tied to this idea of being a hunter that he just...would never let himself have that. he wants that apple pie life so bad; it's why he always rags on sam about it (sam – who stopped having that dream years ago!), but he's so clearly insecure about it. and sure, it's fine to be that typically masculine guy who wants to knock somebody up, but turning that on its head? yeah, as i said above, you're only getting that out of him if he's really undone. or you're sam.
as for TRANS dean, which is generally how i tend to read him, i still think it would be a bit of a taboo thing for him to admit out loud and to himself. like, sorry for tmi but as a transmasc who wants to get pregnant it can feel incredibly isolating. sure there are others out there but by and large it makes a lot of transmascs dysphoric! and i get that! and somebody like dean, who has uhhh let's say a toxic relationship with himself (read: he hates himself), i think as a trans guy, who is maybe already feeling lonely in this way, anything that would make people suspect he's trans is gonna be deeply shameful for him. his thought process would be like: he's a guy, he's not supposed to want to be pregnant. and i think that would hurt. i think he wants a family, kids, and denying himself that would hurt him for a long time.
okay SO, now we've circled back around to deanna. whether she's cis or trans, i think she'd be a lot more okay with this. canon dean is a man who is constantly trying to adhere to these standards of masculinity he's set for himself; ergo, deanna the woman likely be the same with femininity. paired with all of the parentification (and wifeification) or her time with john, i think she's very comfortable with wanting to be pregnant. and as a trans woman, i think she'd find her wanting for motherhood to be validating. however she'd obviously be dealing with the pain of not being able to carry a child, so whether or not she'd be comfortable talking about wanting to be pregnant in general is...less likely than cis deanna.
NOW LET'S BRING IT HOME to omegaverse. similarly to cis deanna – i think omega dean would feel secure in his thing for pregnancy. it's what his gender is supposed to do, right; they're meant to breed and it's something he can do and be good at. and if there's one thing about dean, oh, he wants to be told he's been a good boy. omegaverse – a world in which gender roles are strict and fetishized – is the one scenario where i can actually see him keeping a baby, even as a hunter. this is what he's supposed to do, after all.
anyway thanks for this ask anon, it was great food for thought!
(FYI as a disclaimer i am not saying dean is right in his thinking and the bearing of wanting to get pregnant on the validity of identity lol, i'm saying this is how i think he would think)

what godforsaken corner of twitter did the comparisons between napoleon and adolf fucking hitler, ye’s new boyfriend, come from? because iirc, one of them spread those good vibes 👌🏼👌🏼 towards jews, and the other gassed millions of them and worked millions more to death ???? like what???
uggh gross.
So, I haven't seen what's on twitter lately, mostly because I've really taken a step back from the platform over the last year or so. It's a cesspit and I hate everyone on it (barring my friends who I love).
However, the comparing Napoleon to Hitler is an old nonsense that's been going on for years and it's a real fucking piss off. It absolutely comes from the fact that Napoleon represents strong, centralized state power and is, obviously, associated with years of war in Europe (who started what, where, and when is a discussion for elsewhere). The supposed analogy to Hitler is drawn by those who literally know only the previous two points about Napoleon.
Aside from, like, Napoleon's reputation (dude's fine), the bigger issue, the more important issue, is how it trivializes what Hitler did and all he represents. It's harmful and hurtful to survivors and their decendents, and all Jews everywhere, and it's an absolute fucking pissoff.
The holocaust and Hitler are not things to throw around as edgy internet points - whether in an attempt to slag off Napoleon (please people, the man has enough shit in his legacy, you don't need to bring Hitler into it), or in an attempt to idk, grant Hitler some edge of "legitimacy" or "he's just like others" or something.
I hate this garbage. Fuck all that noise.
gross gross gross

Some stuff on Napoleon and Jews
[Disclaimer: I'm not Jewish, nor is this area of Napoleon's reign a speciality of mine, so I may get things wrong, or not-quite-right. Sincere apologies in advance. Please feel free to add on or correct me if I put my foot in it.]
Napoleon's relationship with the Jewish community in France was complicated, as these things usually are in the late 18th and early 19th century Europe. Especially when undertaken by a child of Revolution and Enlightenment who was still cultrually Catholic (though, his faith and associated beliefs were complex and changed over the course of his life) and grew up within all the anti-semetic baggage that was part and parcel of European life at that time (and still is, in many respects, today).
Note: Historians are all over the place on Napoleon’s views, whether he hated the Jews or not, whether he was purely out for his own gain or not, whether there was any altruism present or not. People are very, very, very heated about the subject - which makes sense. Just like, as a general flag. 
--
Some of the first laws in France that emancipate the Jews came into effect during the French Revolution - so they pre-date Napoleon's assencion to power by a good few years. E.g., the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, 1789, granted freedom of religion and worship, provided that it did not contradict public order.
Napoleon himself kept these laws, building some aspects of them into the Code. In countries he conquered, he emancipated the local Jewish population - all as part of his effort to further spread the French Revolutionary ideals then, later, the French Imperial ideals.
The big thing Napoleon's famous for is revoking the laws that required Jews to reside within ghettos thus enabling them to rent or own property with greater liberty than previously experienced. In 1807, Napoleon passed a law designating Judaism one of the official religions in France alongside Catholicism, Lutheranism, and Calvinist Protestants (i.e., Hugenots). He also opened up previously restricted occupations and broadened the economic opportunities of the Jewish community.
Napoleon had the national Israelite Consistory established which served as a centralized authority for Jewish religious, economic, and community life within France (Napoleon loved centralized authorities). There were regional Consistories as well that answered to the national one. The Consistories were all run by a board composed entirely of Jews, appointed by the local prefect (who would not have been Jewish). So it was a blend of Jewish autonomy and independence yet structured within Napoleon's top-down approach to government (as the prefect would have been one of Napoleon's appointments/his hiring would have been informed by Napoleon's preferences).
An unintended benefit of Napoleon mucking around in Europe was that he broke up many of the existing caste systems simply by steam rolling in and saying "alright, have the Code Napoleon." Through the dissolution of these systems, and the political values/regulations imposed via Napoleon's takeovers, life, broadly speaking, improved for Jews - especially in the Rhineland and other areas of the Germanies and states subsumed into France. As always, though, YMMV and this is brush strokes. 
---
However. It's always more complicated than just "only good(ish) things." 
As noted, Napoleon was a Christian-acculturated man born in 1769 and this reflects in his approach towards Jews and his policies and the motiviations behind said policies. 
Napoleon was keen on creating an integrated, somewhat unified French society and identity, with French language and cultural norms being the dominate traits that people should embody. The concept of national identity was still, broadly, in its infancy in 1800 but he was certainly a proponent of it.** So, while Jews were liberated from the ghettos, Napoleon expected them to assimilate into French society - which he thought meant giving up some of their religious and cultural traditions. 
In addition, Napoleon still restricted where Jews could migrate within the French Empire, which was done in tandem with his attempt to end, or at least greatly restrict, Jewish money lending. Again, all tied to attempts to support assimilation. 
Money lending had, historically, been one of the few trades open to Jews in Europe (e.g., Venice limited Jews to money lending and selling of second hand items. They could practice as doctors only with a special papal dispensation which required sponsorship from a respected patron - usually bishop or cardinal, sometimes a nobleman or patrician) and Napoleon was concerned, in typical anti-semetic style, that Jews were taking advantage of their customers. 
Napoleon was also seeking to try and push Jews into new professions - primarily the trades and agriculture - so there was a focus in his regulations to encourage Jews to pursue farming or artisinal trades, among other things. Again, again, assimilation - but it’s also informed by the fact that France’s economy by 1806/08 was showing signs of slowing down and Napoleon was attempting to stall this. His restrictions on migration, I believe, were revoked in 1811 and the remainder of the restrictions ended when the Infamous Decree of 1808 was not renewed (during the Bourbon restoration). 
Another negative impact was the loss of Jewish naming traditions. In his effort to make the world’s largest bureaucracy, Napoleon began requiring people to have surnames. Not necessarily a common thing at the time, and he had certain rules about the names people could choose. For Jews, they couldn’t pick anything from the Torah, nor could they use town names, and these restirctions - along with the entire requirement itself - led to a loss of Jewish naming practices in these regions, at least outwardly. How communities worked to maintain these traditions within themselves is another story. 
In addition, while the Jews had far greater freedom to worship than previously experienced, some of the aspects of their relgious life remained regulated - though it was via the Consistory system previously mentioned. The actual day-to-day impact of this on religious and cultural life for France’s Jews, I don’t know. I’m sure someone’s done a study on it though. 
(**Napoleon was generally pro-immigration and believed it didn't matter "what side of the Rhine" a person was born on, if they wanted to be French they were French. However, they were expected to assimilate into to French society, to super over simplify his stance. I've a post somewhere in my backlog about Napoleon's immigration stuff. [Insert obligatory disclaimer about applying broad statements and how it's always way more complex and nuanced etc. etc.])
---
On a personal level, who knows what Napoleon actually thought about Jews and what he was hoping to attain as a final outocme of his various legislations. Some of his quotes say he was aiming for full integration to the point where Jews are no longer visibly distinct (clothing, culture, language, food etc.). Some was just more general “I just want everyone to be French(tm) but otherwise, so long as you pay taxes, I don’t care”. 
I suspect it was a mix since, in terms of extant quotes, he swings in his motivations, his views, his expectations. There are quotes where he's quite anti-semetic (see some of his comments in 1806) and ones where he's not as bad.
I don’t think he’s every wholly not anti-semetic - even his better statements are still tinged with it. Which, unfortunately, was par for the course of most people at that time. He wasn’t virulent or violent, the way some were (and are), but the broad anti-semetism of the time was certainly in him.  
That said, Napoleon valued his appearance of being a liberator and understood the importance of having people On Side, which impacted his regulatory and legislative decisions. I also think he did believe in some of the old values of the Revolution. There was an idealist streak in him that came out from time to time and was, to my reading, truly earnest.
It's also important, for the sake of context, to note that in passing a lot of his more liberatory laws, he pissed off powerful groups. As emperor, he was always balancing different political interests of many parties - both internal and external to France - and this does need to be taken into account. Many of his actions, as they pertain to the Jews, would have been seen by much of Europe at the time as quite revolutionary (even if today we look at it and go "some of this was good, some of this was not good"). So there was some sticking-his-neck-out-a-bit. 
Some of the powers-that-be, such as Austria, Russia, England, were opposed to Napoleon's approach to his Jewish subjects, not to mention internal-to-France powers and pressures. It's all a balancing act in a situation that could be a powder-keg.
---
In exile, Napoleon's doctor Barry O'Maera asked about his reasons for "encouraging the Jew so much" (to use O'Maera's words) and Napoleons' response really was a balance of different motives - some good, some YIKES, some anti-semetic, some pragamtic, some a clear carry over of revolutionary ideals etc.:
I wanted to make them leave off usury, and become like other men. There were a great many Jews in the countries I reigned over ; by removing their disabilities [i.e., their legal restrictions], and by putting them upon an equality with Catholics, Protestants, and others, I hoped to make them become good citizens, and conduct themselves like others of the community. I believe I should have succeeded in the end. My reasoning with them was, that, as their rabbis explained to them, that they ought not to practise usury to their own tribes, but were allowed to do so with Christians and others, that, therefore, as I had restored them to all their privileges, and made them equal to my other subjects, they must consider me the head of their nation, like Solomon or Herod, and my subjects as brethren of a tribe similar to theirs. That, consequently, they were not permitted to practise usury with me or them, but to treat us as if we were of the tribe of Judah. By this, I gained many soldiers. Besides, I should have drawn great wealth to France as the Jews are very numerous, and would have flocked to a country where they enjoyed such superior privities. Moreover, I wanted to establish an universal liberty of conscience. My system was to have no predominent religion, but to allow perfect liberty of conscious and of thought. To make all men equal, whether Protestant, Catholics, Mahometans [Muslims], Deists, or others ... [Napoelon then goes on to talk about making government independent of religion and the strong importance of separation of church and state. Napoleon was particularly keen on ridding the Catholic Church of their power within state/civic happenings.] - A Voice from St. Helena, Barry O'Meara, p. 183
[I broke out the paragraphs for easier reading. It's one block in the original.]
As always, with exile memoirs, Napoleon is structuring his legacy and trying to create a specific image of himself. That said, I think this is one of the times where I believe what he said does reflect, more or less, his motives and his thinking back during the height of Empire.
---
Anyway - I hope this helps add some nuance to the Napoleon & Jews thing - though written by a non-expert. And yeah, comparing Napoleon to Hitler is bunk history and people should know that by now.
But I will end by again emphasizing that it is disgusting and disrespectiful, if not outright harmful, to throw Hitler and the Holocaust around as edge internet points. That is the real issue here, not Napoleon's reputation.
The real issue is, always is, the anti-semetism.

Alright, so here's my thoughts on the new Helluva Boss episode! 😈🤠❄️
Everything’s tagged as #hb spoilers for those who haven't seen it yet!
Stolas & Stella confronting each other be like:
Tumblr media
Ice King Andrealphus being the third fucking wheel, questioning why he even showed up, but staying for the literal tea
Stolas & Stella obviously hated each other from the get go, so yeah, he didn't betray no one (except maybe his daughter's trust)
COWBOY DADDY STRIKER STRIKES BACK!!! Still sad that Norman Reedus didn't return to voice him, but I kinda already had a feeling that he wouldn't return cuz 1) We didn't get to hear Striker in the S2 Trailer & I think it was confirmed that most of the cast had finished recording their lines for this season over a year ago and 2) It's understandable bc he's a busy man in the acting industry!
And besides, Ed's an awesome VA (especially with all the characters he's voiced so far in the Hellaverse), so I didn't really mind the recast!
"Um... sexy?" Yep, Stolas & the I.M.P crew know what's up! 😉
Wonder what other kinds of Blessed items/weapons exist! I want more lore content!!!
Not bad for an M&M themed episode!
Mixed thoughts on the Blitzø & Loona B-plot of the episode! The Sloth Ring making these two wait 5 years for a rabies shot appointment & the dumbass staff not getting "Bingo & Tuna's" names right was funny tho!
Also, fuck off Fish Karen! It's Hell, no one gives a shit and yet, you're fine with your illegitimate son insulting Blitzø to his face!
"How does one get their own theme song?" Striker unwillingly getting his own theme song was gold! It gave me "Gaston's Song" vibes and I love it!!! 👏🏼
Moxxie finally fighting his own battles (even if it's for something as simple as a hat), good for him!
So there are tinier Imps in Hell, now? Again, lore content pls!!!!
Striker's little bat-cave: "I'm just impressed you seem to want to suck your own dick so badly", 'nuff said! 🤣
The parallels of Stolas "messing around" with Striker while being held hostage, to the time Blitzø & Moxxie fucked with the government agents in "Truth Seekers" was good too! 👌🏼
Hope we get to see a Striker backstory cuz he reeeeally has some sort of grudge towards the Goetia family or any of the higher ranked demons! Wonder if Paimon had anything to do with that?
"Prepare for trouble & make it double!" Stella & Andrealphus's dynamic was funny, but slightly creepy (mostly on Andre's side towards his sister)
LEAVE MAH CHILD VIA OUTTA THIS!!!! Like she hasn't had enough shit to deal with already!
M&M HUNGRY FOR A LI'L PAYBACK!!!!
They said, no Country music for a battle theme, only Pop music!
The fight scene mixed with Loona fighting back at her shot appointment was funny!
Angel Dust vs. Sir Pentious callback?? Moxxie's definitely been taking notes from the spider boi!
We still haven't seen the last of Cowboy Daddy Striker!
Poor Loony, getting a "cone of shame". At least she got a lollipop for being a "good patient"? 🤷🏻‍♀️
HOW TF DID THE MEDIA FIND OUT ABOUT STOLAS GETTING ATTACKED & NEARLY KILLED???
"...He can get hurt?" Yes, Blitzø! He may be a royal demon w/phenomenal cosmic powers, but he's just as fragile and hurting on the inside, just like me & you bud (and holy weapons don't help with that fact either)!
Had to pause to look at the Stolitz texts: so they have brought up the Ozzie's incident, but apparently haven't ACTUALLY talked about it face-to-face! At least Stolas is trying to work something out & give Blitzø some space!
BLITZØ, YOU BETTER GO VISIT YOUR MAN IN THE HOSPITAL, OR SO HELP ME…!!!!!
One thing that bugged me the most is Loona not getting any lines in this episode, yet Erica still got credited?
The last episode was understandable bc Loona appeared for a few seconds in the beggining & end. But they could've at least given Loona a few lines this time around, especially given the fact that she was freaking out & didn't wanna get the shot!
Overall not exactly the best episode, but it was still alright (I just mostly missed my cowboy daddy, ok?) Hopefully, the next episode does better!!!

"#also everyone: look what [bandmember 1&2] did#Jess: look an otter🥰" hello @mondscheinprinzessin it was a very cute otter and I had to take a picture for my friend! But I can scream about the bands too 😂 I mean you were there but still
They were all so smiley and happy, like everytime you looked at anyone from any band, they were just the 🥺🥰😍 emojis in person, except when Olli did his creepy "place your bets if you'd survive meeting me alone" stare ajsdfkjs
So smiley!! So happy!!
Samy's little "disappearing into the crowd and re-appearing on whatever you can stand on or climb onto" magic trick, and also on the pillar right in front of us that made me worry if he'd fall down on us if he were to fall
the rowing stuff people did in Berlin ft. Joel + Niko hopping into the moshpit because why not I guess
Aleksi going smash smash smash on Tommi's drums during Alive or Only Burning is 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
all the cuddles!! so many stage cuddles!!
Joel's... thing? when Joonas sings? it's like he's trying to reach for something inside Joonas' jacket
Samy apparently saying what's the point of a fishnet shirt, let's just start the show shirtless straight away
and saying how great it is that they get to tour with their friends
they are all too pretty to be true and I don't understand how
we stood about halfway away from the stage in Munich and I STILL couldn't look at Olli for longer than a few seconds because of his STARE. what is the man doing??
Aleksi being his little hypeman self and smiling so beautifully when people react is so nice 🥺
Joel constantly bothering any of his bandmates somehow, love that
Samy saying there's no place for homophobia at their concerts 🥰🥰🥰
also the bi flag in Munich
the Ocean's singer having minor issues with his guitar at both concerts, but enough in Munich that he had to try to entertain the crowd for a minute or two while his bandmates were watching him like "hmmmm yeah he's got this, no need for one of us to take over while he fixes his guitar"
They are just. All SO GOOD to see live! They all have such energy and enthusiasm and you can see every single minute how happy all of them are to be there! 🥺🥰💖
Santeri in his grumpy moomins shirt smiling SO brightly at a crew guy
screaming along to Don't Fix Me has to be a temporary therapy replacement somehow. If you can't go to therapy, screaming along to Don't Fix Me and Opinions is fine (for a while).
the little pause in Autopsy and then the whole crowd screaming "I need to open up" ✨
all three bands watching each other perform from the balcony thing ✨🥰
ehehehe the way they all stand next to each other in GFTG for the Wembley kisses, and at the end for the bow 🥰🥰
I don't know which song they're covering somewhere in the middle but it's fun to listen to. Also Aleksi's electronic (?) interlude slaps 👌🏼👌🏼
Ooooh the BMTH before they started while I stood there in my BMTH shirt 😌 also Backstreet Boys, and the stupid Saints Go Marching In song, and the Linkin Park x Titanic outro. Like. Somehow those song choises are all SUCH BC energy
also singing and making us sing only a few seconds of Linkin Park. Let us sing the whole thing you cowards
I still don't know why Joel ducked when he walked across the pathway.
Also still don't know why they introduce Aleksi as Alex Mattson
love how we almost didn't find the entrance in Munich at first and then almost left the wrong way afterwards too
also interesting song choice that was on in the garden-thingy when we left (Ryan Casatta's "Daughter")
yeah this has been a Berlin x Munich mix-up concert report

FE3H 30, 32, 34, 39 :D
30. Oh man this is a tough one—honestly! I feel Dimitri and Sylvain definitely should have had more support options! I feel compared to the rest of the cast, they don’t feel as close you get me? I also would have liked to see supports between Dedue and Rodrigue, cuz even in hopes they don’t have one and Dedue has said he liked him so why no support? 🤔 I also would have liked to see more cross house supports and supports between the lords ( despite the ONE we get from Hopes, I just would have liked them all to have full blown conversations and all )
32. Oooohh!! For this one it’s definitely Dimitri, Lysithea, Claude, & Cyril ✨ close contenders are Edelgard, Annette & Ferdinand’s ( mostly those long luxurious locks )
34. HM that’s a tough one — I might have to give this one to Bernadetta , it’s mostly just her hair I don’t really like, her outfit is fine tbh!
39. Oh!! In my AM route it’s obviously Dimitri, just slapped that bad boy with a Killer Lance+, Crit Ring, Battalion Vantage and I unleashed him upon my foes , my second best ones to use on my AM route was Byleth ( obviously ) Annette, Felix & Ingrid! In my VW route my best was actually Cyril, boy was lean mean killing machine , especially when I made him a bow wielding Wyvern Lord ✨ next best ones was Claude, Leonie, Lysithea & Ignatz 👌🏼✨

6:48 fucking christ how does she know
6:54 shit. SHIT.
7:01 okay it's time for fucking PAIN bc sure he's happy and carefree and will probably eat and sleep better but this is synthetic bullshit that isnt doing anything good for him in the long run and I'm feeling a lot of things about it
7:07 "My." Shut up you pretentious dickhead
7:15 all that flexing can't possibly be compensating for something, can it? Hmmm?
7:26 kiss ass. A kiss ass with a long standing grudge and too much pride.
7:30 "I'm so proud of you" NO
7:34 "...and almost bizarrely happy" okay so he's aware that it's strange
7:46 stop being manipulative challenge (impossible)
8:03 curtain is the sort of guy who very obviously peaked in high school and talks about how much he loved it way too much
8:34 "it's your associate.. she seems to have your ear, and she doesn't strike me as particularly joyful." ohhhhh, so that's his angle. I'm so glad she got out when she did

13:47 "this is my home. I'm fine." brb sobbing
14:06 NOOOO 😭😭

18:24 the performance of a lifetime 😂😂😂
18:48 good job but please get out of there while you can
19:16 my love I am so glad you went to the authorities but unfortunately they are the authorities, the justice system fails more people than they dont
19:34 "your claim is nonsensical." "You malign a good man." And there it is.
19:55 "someone's finally at the wheel" THE QUOTE FROM THE FIRST SEASON. 'LIKE NO  ONE'S AT THE WHEEL'. SHDJFHDHJD
20:04 "you sound like someone who could, frankly, use some time in dr curtains program" that's fucking terrifying

23:17 "Curtains men could show up any second" damn right they could
23:21 speak of the devil and he shall appear
23:24 oooh and theres a couple of them now!!! Exciting
23:32 *breath* "I'd like a receipt please" why did that make me laugh
23:38 okay but what the fuck is happening
23:41 "hnnnng what's happening?" GSHAHHAHA MY QUESTION EXACTLY DUDE
23:48 *walking in aimless circles giggling* this is me when I'm drunk
23:53 oh my god she did come back I KNEW SHE WOULD BREAK OUT JUST TO BREAK BACK IN
24:01 poor number two 🥺 she looks so freaked out.
Tumblr media
24:01 Someone please give this woman a hug and some anxiety medication
24:11 the pure euphoria in "my brother has pie trucks?? :D"
24:23 "they're ALL cult of Curtain" okay but cult of Curtain is a great way to describe this
24:23 I really hope his cringe isnt for her wording even though I totally know it is WHEN WILL THE OTHER SHOE DROP
24:47 "what's there to smile about" kinda rude but yeah he's literally giggling at her
24:49 HIM TRYING TO BE SERIOUS AND FAILING 💀
24:54 that eye narrow. She knows.
25:01 "and of course our current status" "kidnapped. Status: kidnapped." She is the sole voice of reason
25:05 THAT EYE WIDEN. SHE KNOWS.
25:09 the quiet "oh no" GOOD LORD THE QUIET REALIZATION. There has to be at least one fic that will be written about this scene alone.
25:33 "this incredible newfound joy is not going to influence my ability to do what is right" okay two things:
1. I do not believe you
2. It will stop you if your body shuts the fuck down??? I mean they dont know about that but still
25:39 SHE HAS HER HEAD IN HER HANDS. SHE COULDNT BE MORE STRESSED
26:25 "there's no conventional reason for this, this... vacancy" okay the word vacancy makes it seem one thousand times more sinister holy shit
26:29 oh good lord another one
26:29 also I'm pretty sure this shot is the one from the trailer, we all thought it was that prof from season 1
26:58 "kate, do you have a pen?" "Do I have a pen?" The SASS
27:18 PALINDROME, GERMANY. 10/10.
27:24 her visible disappointment that there is no city specifically named Palindrome has me giggling
27:50 PLAN SHAKE AND BAKE 😂😂
28:00 noooo no no no the adults got there just barely too late. AGAIN.
28:11 at least the kids will actually have tickets this time, it's a lot harder to hide on a train
28:17 watch that be some random passenger with her hair like that
28:24 called it
28:32 okay she looks so precious in that yellow coat. So freaking cute
28:40 NOTHING but air hahahaha
28:43 well shit, the polo team is a problem. It's like I said earlier, it's a lot harder to hide on a train
28:55 oh shit, they arent working with the greys? Or maybe Curtain did plant them and the two parties just dont know each other?
28:58 okay gang maybe stop shoving your faces in the very visible window
29:13 "disgrace to the sport." the pure DISDAIN
29:29 "couple of broken ribs, maybe a dislocated shoulder, but we'd live!" Why do I have the feeling these are injuries someone will attain
29:39 STOP I WAS GOING TO COMMENT ON CONSTANCE AND STICKY'S EXCHANGE BUT I PAUSED ON A GOLDEN SCREENCAP 😂😂😂 HOLD UP
Tumblr media
look at that FACE
Tumblr media
30:01 she looks like such a gremlin holding the whistle like that 😂
30:06 AWWWW Reynie fell asleep on him 🥺
30:14 what's on your mind bb boy, it's not your shift but you're wide awake
30:22 daaamn. that time of night is that time where it could be super late or super early, depending how you look at it
30:30 "you haven't slept. Why not?" A valid ass question
30:50 "you havent prepared yourself" valid! He needed the rest to be alert enough to keep watch
31:19 oh now he's sleepy. I can relate though- I used to work shifts in that late/early time of night while I was in college, and I would never be able to get to sleep before my shifts, but I would be dead tired while I was supposed to be working. It's a vicious cycle
31:31 okay the fact that it faded out and faded back in so many times makes me think either the rest of them were taken, or that their situation is drastically more dangerous somehow
31:59 NO NO NO NO NO
31:59 WHERE IS SHE. WHAT DID THEY DO TO MY BABY GIRL
32:12 DAMNIT. of COURSE they would end it there.
Part of me thinks that Constance will be in the bathroom or something super mundane, and she'll have some snarky remark about how she can handle herself. Every other part of me is thinking the obvious, implied, and very unfortunate circumstance 🥴
What a fantastic episode. I cant wait to think about it for the next 3 days straight.

ivory opinion hour™ (yes I’m coming for Angie’s gig)
I’ll start with the bad so I can end on a high note. and also because there is a lot of bad.
E39 and E40 were an absolute cluster. the writing was sloppy, everything happened and then was resolved so quickly, and it all just felt really unfulfilling.
I absolutely buy that Bruno would let a newcomer get in his head. seeing his girl chosen for two dates would have him on edge already, and then her coming back from her second date with the first guy? he was stressing. so when Dylan tells everybody it was a great date and says you want to recouple with him, Bruno would have spiralled. I fully bought into that part.
HOWEVER, the fight goes from 0 to 100 no matter which options you choose, and all LIs react the same way. it doesn’t matter if you’ve done anything with Dylan or Oliver, if you’ve been with your LI for one recoupling or all of them, if they’re a confrontational person, or if you decide to argue with them in the kitchen. your choices have zero impact. you’re in the doghouse and sleeping on the daybed. and like I’m sorry, but Bruno would never. loyal king Bruno who dotes on MC and treats her like a fucking princess? absolutely not. I buy into the fight, but he would have sent himself to the daybed if he wanted “space”
and the fight is just the tip of the iceberg. after the fight, that’s when the writing gets even sloppier.
Angie is my BFF and her dialogue after the kitchen fight is so un-Angie that it made me cringe. those lines were clearly written for Thabi, and coming from Thabi that scene would have been really sweet. but Angie? Angie would have come over demanding to know what was going on, whose ass she had to beat, and then pulled us aside for an Angie Opinion Hour. there is also a zero percent chance she would have let us sleep on the daybeds alone after that. Thabi, sure - she’s got a new man she wants to spend time with. Angie is single (and in love with us), what else does she have to do? it was all a setup for the Dylan scene, and it just screams lazy lazy lazy.
(I obviously skipped the Dylan scene, but I read the scripts. small dick energy confirmed as canon)
the conversation the next day is… fine, I guess. by the time I got to this scene I was over the volume as a whole and I just wanted my Bruno back, so I chose all of the understanding/forgiving options and would you look at that, when the game lets us TALK we actually WORK THINGS OUT.
I didn’t kiss Hazeem on my main account because I’m down hard for Bruno, but I’ve heard your LI gives you grief for this? now? really? and regardless of who you’re with? I get James being mad if you’d been with him since the beginning, but Bruno? we would have been coupled up for five minutes at that point. Will? would have literally broken up with us earlier that day after high-fiving us for kissing the new guys. Tom? WE DID NOT KNOW THIS MAN EXISTED.
Tumblr media
moving swiftly on, my last complaint is that they made a point of saying we had “mascara clumped in our lashes” but then had us walking around in our crusty evening dress all day? and Angie was in her swimwear in the evening? fb please. I’m not asking for a lot. I’d just like a wash and a fresh bikini and weather appropriate outfits.
NOW for the good
telling Dylan off 🤙🏼
watching Bruno tell Dylan off 👌🏼
watching Youcef tell Dylan off 🤌🏼
Angie’s confession 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I give these episodes a C+

Hello hello!!! Just passing by because i found some of you fics specially "in the moon's light" and i am like aaaaaaaah 💯👌🏼😭💕💖 i just love it the fact that ingo is a nerd and been like "wanna tell her but instead i will just ignore this feeling and locked them down deep down in me so one know about my huge crush (even tho is so obvious for everyone like my boy!! You can hide the obvious 😂)" for real love it so far!! 💖 i like you too think Volo is also a weird creep in some way! Hahaha but ye right now i deefinitly love the fics i have ready so far (that are 2 tho but still) they are pretty well done!💖💕 the feeling you put, the description you make how the relationship works man for real makes me so happy and is so nice to read them! Makes me happy!! Sorry for the big block of text haha jist wanted to spam you a lil bit UnU hope was fine! 💖
Omg hello!! 🥺❤️
First of all, I want to say thank you for your heartfelt message! I saw it yesterday and I havent been able to post at all, but it truly made my day!!
Im also so glad that you enjoyed it! I love writing about men who think they are successfully hiding their crushes but they are actually horrible at it and everyone knows. 😏
God, YES! I loooved Volo when we first met him but after that one ending? Every scene with him felt off, it felt like he knew, knew what we were, knew what we were able to do, knew far too much for my liking.
It honestly felt like a lie, like a theatrical play, where all his kind smiles and jokes were just strategical things he needed to do to get us to that one certain point. 😔
But yes, Im so so glad to hear that your enjoying them! I loved your block text, it made my day! 😌❤️

sushi all day every day !! i will pick sushi over anything always 🤭 nachos are def up there too tho i love a nice loaded nacho. also thank you for your input thats so good to know. i will definitely be trying it out then :))) i love thai food so much as well so that’s good to know too ^_^ thank u love. SAME my heart beats so fast and i get the shakes 😭. it also oddly makes me break out rly bad ?? but it’s like painful acne too ?? idek. asian dolce latte sounds soooo good rn. i bet our starbucks menus are so different (tbh anything but americas seems better for all food chains). the christmas specials are always so good too, i love when they actually come up w new stuff here
SOOOOO SMOOCHABLE even for todays concert he just looked so so good. i was so mesmerized by felix and jeongin from the clips i’ve seen. something about the tight black jeans just does it for me every timeeeee 😩 MINHOS THIGHS don’t get me started again 🤭🤭. they all looked so good and i love the new dark blue outfits, it’s so sexy 😩

sweet love is so cute i’m melting. hello angel baby <3 my day has been super good ^__^ i just watched an anime film called suzume, almost teared up im ngl ☹️ i have a tendeancy to cry during films 😔 it’s the sensitive heart in me 🤝 aaaa i lovelovelove grocery shopping sm <3 the cereal section makes me happy eventhough i don’t typically buy them </3 i hope they have your fav pastry, babe! whats ur fave? i love bagels, or any pastry that has meat in it, really. what do the dogs do there, help 😭 i think malaysian dogs are pretty normal 😟
DORITO SHAPE I CACKLEEEED. U DIDNT JUST CALL THEM DORITO SHAPED 😭 chan’s back mmmm. esp that one performance, i think wolfgang where he took off his shirt ISBDKWJS MAKES ME FERAL ‼️ also maybe its just me but sharp collarbones... delish.
victor is the man them e-boys wish they were but arent. they could never be victor. he is far too beautiful. unreachable visual 💯 talking abt animated characters... how are we feeling about howl pendragon? so sexy 😋 JEONGIN’S HANDS ARE SO BIG LIKEEEE?? /:+"!+ THE SIGHT OF THEM MAKES ME MALFUNCTION?? SIR PUT THAT HAND IN MINE RN ‼️ HIS PHONE BE LOOKING LIKE AN ERASER IN HIS HAND BCS HOW BIG HIS HAND IS. HRJFHEHF R GRTRR
coffee is so good it’s unfair that its bad for us 😭 why r bad things always so good. smh. i think our starbies menus are deffo different, actually, a lot of our fast food menus are different me thinks. esp with the fact that malaysia is a dominantly muslim country, so a lot of chain restaurants have to be halal (muslim friendly) — therefore they don’t serve food that contain pork or alcohol. i think that's the main reason why malaysian menus are super different compared to america’s!! i know there are certain recipes available there which aren’t here </3 also!! ik most americans typically customize their starbucks — compared to that, malaysians usually opt for whatever that’s on the menu. i rarely customize my order tbh ^__^ and whats up with American mcdonalds constantly having a broken ice cream machine? istg i go for a mcdonald's ice cream run every week and its never broken 😭 oh and u mentioning thai food is making me crave for pandan leaves chicken </3
concert vids are always so good. THE HYUNE DANCING VIDS CONTAMINATING MY TIKTOK FYP RN IS CRAZY. CRAZY I TELL U!! someone said that hyunjin flirts through his dancing and oh god. . . it’s so true. now i can’t get the thought outta my head. FELIX BEEN ACTING UP A LIL TOO MUCH LATELY BABE... WHATS UP WITH THE CONSTANT SHIRT LIFTING 🤨 HES IN HIS S WORD ERA ISTG ‼️dark looks fit them sm 😋 they look so 😋 nomnom able 😋 minho’s thighs in them leather jeans doe. . . think abt it...
it’s like 4am rn i shud sleep. have a good day my baby, kisskisskiss <3

Hiiii. So HC for Frank Castle checking on you even in the middle of the biggest gunfight. Just an idea 😍😍😁👌🏼
Tumblr media
ohhhhh my man would be on edge lol
okay so bullets were shot from almost everywhere and you had somehow managed to find a hiding spot
frank was already feeling so many things at once — heartbreak after discovering that Billy had been playing with the enemy among other things — so when he noticed that you weren’t in his shadow anymore, he went mad
first thing he thought was that you had been shot without him being there to protect you
he screamed your name with little hope that he’d get an answer
so when he heard you yell your position, he turned his head so fast he didn’t notice the soldier pointing his firearm right back at him
"son of a bitch," he blurted when he felt a stinging pain in the side of his thigh
he quickly handled the guy and ran — the best he could — to join you behind the huge tree"
"there you are-"
"shit frank, your thigh!" you noticed, reaching to him but he stopped you, grabbing your wrist
"that ain’t my biggest issue right now, sweetheart. you’re okay?" he asked, eyes full of concern as he cupped your cheek; his eyes were scanning your face, searching for the smallest excuse to go back there and end them all
"i’m fine, i’m fine. we have to put an end to this, i’m tired Frank. I just want to get out of here," you rushed and his brows furrowed when he saw that little tear forming on the corner of your eye.
"mh, okay sweetheart. you stay here and we’ll be home in no time, okay?"
"no, no. you bet your ass i’m not letting you finish them all by yourself" you winced as you used his shoulder to help yourself get back on your feet and ofc, a proud grin formed on frank’s lips.
"atta girl," he said as he kissed the top of your forehead before loading his gun one last time.
dinner is served ladies and gents, and i know we love us some frank content
