#sorry this is so long!

[haonote]

imagine going on a picnic date with minghao. you spent all morning making little sandwiches and picking out cupcakes from your local bakery. he would meet you at the entrance of the forest, holding your hand so you wouldn't fall over the vines that scattered the grassy floor as he would lead you to the spot he picked out for the two of you.

once you reached your destination you would be taken aback- you felt like you were in a fairy tale as you sat down on the green grass and marvelled at the area minghao had chose. the sunlight from the break in the trees lit up the pond in the middle of it all, looking like something from a movie. you couldn't help but get up and hug your boyfriend, smiling from ear to ear at just how gorgeous the scene was.

the two of you stayed till long past sunset, your picnic basket empty except for the painting minghao drew of you. in a years time you would still have that painting up on your wall, a symbol of that unforgettable day.

I love the art of your new OC! Can you tell us more about him? What's his name? (Take this as an invitation to ramble about his background and who he is as much as you want, I'm interested to know more <3)

Awwww! How sweet of you to ask! And to give me permission to ramble about him! There's not that much to him, yet, but I can share a short thing I've written for them some time ago.

This is about this piece, in case someone comes across this solitarily.

Simon's eyes were empty, the smile tugging at his lips almost perfect.

"Is that so?"

He asked, looking at the man at his opposite in a way that almost scared Nikolai. There was something behind all the anger, waiting to break through, to tear the other appart and Niko could swear that Ruben did see it as well.

"Maybe we should just..."

But he got interrupted by a sharp hiss from his right.

"Nobody asked for you to calm the waves, Nikolai!"

He turned his head and now that he was directly looking at him, Nikolai could feel his heart skip a beat. Only a fraction in time and space and he could feel the strong urge to jump up from where he was seated and run for the door as fast as he could. His body was glued to the chair, however, like the prey facing it's predator. He was loosing himself into these grey eyes, behind which the never ending cataclystic rage and hate was burning down every last bit that might have been human. No affection, not a glimps of anything but anger, as if he did not even recognize who he was talking to.

"Simon, I..."

"Silence!"

And Niko fell silent.

He did not say a word for as long as it took Simon to eradicate Ruben rethorically, finally collapsing with a sneeze harsh enough to shake the glasses on the table in front of them.

"Gesundheit."

It was the way Ruben adressed Simon, fully unimpressed of the scene he had caused, that did draw Nikolai's attention. He thought Simon would have Ruben's head for this, but the man only sighed, took a deep breath and sneezed a second time before he seemed to be able to control himself again.

"Bless you. Maybe with a cold like this, it would have been wise to stay in bed."

Simon lifted his head to stare at Ruben. He opened his mouth and closed it again, uneffectively stifling a cough in the process. A fraction in time - a glitch in the matrix. His face crumpled and instantly returned to normal, his posture perfect as always.

Niko's jaw dropped almost all the way to the floor. It seemed he did not know the person next to him nearly as well as he'd thought. Simon's facade was perfect enough to make him believe he was as well as he could be. Now that Ruben had outed him, however, he seemed so obviously sick. Simon's lips were parted ever so slightly, his nose unmistakeably pink-ish and his eyes were circled by dark shadows that he'd thought to be the result of another night spent in front of his desk. There was a barely noticable layer of sweat that covered his forehead, speaking of the very bad shape his friend's health actually seemed to be in.

"Simon, did you...?"

Simon's gaze turned to Nikolai and still, there was a lot of barely contained anger, yet the way he frowned he looked much more exhausted and as if he desperately tried to fight off another sneeze.

"Goodness, Simon, we could have postponed!" Nikolai sighed.

Simon's frown deepend and suddenly Ruben grinned, placing a hand on Niko's forearm.

"Don't worry dear, you're not the only one he's very succesfully hiding these things from."

He leaned forward and lifted a hand to reach over the table.

"The way his nose wrinkles up here..." and with this, he very softly placed a finger right inbetween Simon's eyes.

Hastily - almost panically - Simon lifted his hand yet again, his body shaken by the third sneeze he'd so hard tried to fight off.

"Ruben!"

Ruben smiled and leaned back again.

"You're an open book, Simon! Whether you like it or not."

"Bless you..." Nikolai mumbled, his eyes fixated on the point where Ruben's finger had been only seconds ago.

Again, he started to question himself why Ruben knew so much about Simon, while to him the man seemed to be almost a stranger sometimes.

It was with great harshness, that Simon got up, making Nikolai almost jump with the sudden movement.

"I'm in no need for your so called 'expertise' anyways!"

"Well, if you say so..." Ruben was composure himself. Still sitting, he gazed up at Simon, who definitely looked intimidating the way he stared down on him, but he did knew as much as Nikolai and Ruben did, that he had no choice whatsoever to rely on Ruben's 'expertise' with his bank being Ruben's major client. It was a classic stalemate situation and Simon being unwilling to accknowledge it, however, did not change that fact.

"Well then..." Now Ruben got up as well. "Let's continue this talk once you got over your cold."

He smiled almost bitterly which seemed to spark Simon's rage even further. He turned around and abruptly left the cafe, leaving Ruben and Nikolai behind.

Ruben sat back down with a sigh and a frown, his eyes glistening with a curious wetness that made Nikolai feel sorry for the man. He leaned in a little closer, placing a hand on small shoulders and Ruben turned his head, his face almost distorted with a sad smile.

"Are you going to tell me now, what it is, the two of you have going on?" He asked and whiped a sole tear from Ruben's cheek.

"He's someone I used to know..." Ruben replied mystically. "In a time where things were different... before I transitioned."

There was not much need for further information and Nikolai could see how much it pained Ruben to even think of it. They were sharing a burden with this man both seemed to be magically attracted to, like rubble in his debris field.

Nikolai smiled and leaned his cheek against Ruben's in a way that he could even feel him shivering ever so slightly.

"Don't worry, love. You will be okay now. I promise."

---------- // ------------

Maybe I should add some words of explanation still.

Actually, Ruben first made his appearance in that christmas-thing I never finished... and my mind created him, because I so much suck for unrequited love. They both studied together and Simon being Simon did simply leave him behind as he decided to abond study. So, from Ruben's perspective everything was somewhat okay-ish (as good as it gets... i mean we're talking about Simon still) and from one day to the other he was just gone for good. They did not meet again, until fate made it so, that the firm Ruben works at as an accountant, asigned him to the department of the bank Simon works in, forcing them to be stuck with one another.

Also, Ruben is transgender and the moment he came out to everyone, Simon started acting weird. It would be logical to think that Simon's decision with abandoning study wasn't motivated mostly by the issues with Ruben's gender, but it was convenient to solve two issues at once by just abandon him as well as the study which was boring him to death at the time.

Finally, since Nikolai is polyamorous and Simon pretending to be okay with it, I like to think that Ruben and Nikolai have an on-off relationship, that mostly is Niko turning to Ruben in an attempt for a more warm and compassionate kind of love, thinking how Simon does not stop talking about how he's only waiting for the right woman to pass his way so he can have a family and children and abandon Nikolai for good. And the way things are with Simon and Ruben, Ruben does not know about them being together, as both, Nikolai and Simon agreed on keeping to themselfs for the time being.

Thank you for the cance! Sorry it's so long! 😭

hi! what do you think of the one piece live action series? is it true to the spirit of the manga/anime or is it awkwardly adapted like the cowboy bebop live action?

Gasp an ask about something I like this is amazing.

Ok in all honesty I haven’t watched OPLA yet; I’ve been keeping tabs on attitudes on it and stuff and here’s the thing. I love character and world building. I love the story being told. And from what I can tell there were changes made to the characters and crucially to the story’s that build those characters that I honestly don’t like the sound of.

For instance, and tbh this is the biggest issue for me, the changes to Nami’s backstory, how nobody knew she was trying to by the village back. Not even Nojiko. Like, ok, you don’t want to have everyone trying to keep Nami’s hopes alive by pretending they don’t know and letting her do what she feels she has to do, quietly and unknowingly supporting her from the sidelines. Whatever. But to not even let her own freaking sister know?? In the anime/manga, Nami actually TELLS Nojiko everything; literally the only reason everyone knows is Genzo was behind a tree when she told her. To take that away from Nami, to make Nojiko legitimately hate her? I’m sorry, but I can’t deal with that.

Again. If this isn’t what happens sorry: I haven’t watched the show. Maybe that’s isn’t a change and I’ve just heard and read something wrong, in which case I’m sorry.

Long story short I think the show looks good, the sets look great, but to me it’s about the characters and how their stories shape them moving forward as well as building them up to where they are in current time. And from what I’ve heard the show doesn’t really deliver on that. So I’ve been hesitant.

#sorry this is so long! #I am so happy you asked for my thoughts though #thank you so much! #I’m sorry if this doesn’t make much sense #also I haven’t seen cowboy bebop in any form so I can’t answer to that comparison; sorry! #another thing I don’t like that they’ve done is include Garp. #there was no reason for that. #especially the big role he apparently ends up playing

hello sorry if this question is annoying but I rlly wanna get into star trek but have NO IDEA where to start what should I watch fjdjjrnr

Not annoying at all!! I'll take any opportunity to talk about star trek and I'm glad to help

If you want to start at the very beginning there's of course the Original Series from 1966. This isn't where I started but I like it a lot, although you kind of have to have a love for silly plotlines and really bad effects. It sets up a lot but it's not necessary to watch to understand most later shows.

If TOS is too silly for you I'd recommend starting with the Next Generation! This is what I originally watched, and I think it's a great place to get into the franchise. Like TOS it's very monster-of-the-week, and has it's fair share of silly episodes, but they've figured out what they're doing with scifi a little bit better. In the same era as TNG is Voyager, and Deep Space Nine. These three shows all came out at around the same time and were running together for a few years. I like them all and any of these three is a pretty good place to start honestly, but DS9 has a little bit more of an overarching plotline in the later seasons, which you might not want to get into right away (although, it is a lot of people's favorite series), and Voyager has the characters set very far away from Earth/where most of the known Trek civilizations are, so it's a little more character-based and you learn less about the Federation.

I wouldn't recommend starting with any of the more recent shows, since most of them rely on a previous knowledge of Star Trek. Picard is basically a sequel to Next Generation (though. imo not a very good one), and Strange New Worlds, while the best of the new shows, is set as a prequel to the Original Series. Don't start with Discovery. Not everyone hates it, but it's a very different kind of vibe compared to older Treks. Also don't start with Enterprise. (As for the animated series'- Prodigy and Lower Decks are both widely liked but Prodigy is geared more towards kids, and Lower Decks kind of requires a previous love of Star Trek.

tldr start with the Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, or the Original Series! Whatever you decide to do, welcome, and I hope you enjoy it! Star Trek is my favorite series ever so I hope this helped a bit.

(also, if you watch TOS, watch the movies set after it! There's 6 of them but the first 4 are the best. if you watch TNG there's 4 movies after that as well but First Contact is my favorite of those.)

(There's also the Alternate Original Series movies, from 2009-2016 starring Chris Pine, but these *mostly* don't connect to the main timeline. They're fun to watch anyway.)

#sorry this is so long! #but welcome to star trek! its great here #ask #simplyskipper #star trek

The Fairyfloss BPR Rotational Gameplay Rainbowcy

So here is what the current future of the Fairyfloss rainbowcy will look like:

I’m skipping ahead to when Mars gets back from the military. Poppy has gotten into a car accident, and Amber has stepped in as her aid at home. 

A lot of the story stuff that was supposed to occur in the military arc has either been skipped over or cut for this save. Maybe someday I’ll properly end the gen... but for now just know

Mars and Amber had a little somethin’ somethin’ going on. 

If you guessed who was draining the berry colors you were right. It was Veil and she is Ceres’ birth mom

Ceres was supposed to have a younger sister but I think I’m going to drop that plot line. I can share some pics though if you’d like to see.

It will now be rotational! I have my MCCC settings set up for a rotational gameplay I was already doing, and I was like, hey, why not do that with the fairyfloss save!

For the last bit of gen 4 I’m going to play 8 families for one week each in rotation as follows:

Main Fairyfloss Family: Venus, Colby, Mars, Poppy, Amber, and Estelle

The Newt Family: Pascal and Ceres

The Frost Family: Ash, Heather Jr., Maramalde, Amethyst, Cloud, and Trey

The Dream Family: Nightshade, Solstice, and Jubilee

The Wine-Fizz Family: Luna, Diamond, and Chardonnay

The Aspen Family: Taurus, Viridian, Virgo, and Parakeet

The Summer/Puff Family: Marigold, Honey Bella, Zircon, Crescent, Necco, and Dahlia

The Gen 4 Friends: Deimos, Phobos, and Destiny

The main fam will always be in rotation but some of the other families may get replaced as the generations go on. For example, I’m planning on following most of the spares for just an extra generation. So families like the Summer/Puff fam probably won’t be in the gen 5 rotation. 

The queue will be running a bit slow until I can play more and get a lot of screenshots.

What is the reason why do you wake up-get up and life ? What makes your life, worth living it? Do you like it? What would you change for yourself to be happy predominantly ? please no sarcastic answer I mean the question seriously :/ i wish you a good day with the sun or a good night with the moon !

I think it’s important to remember that no matter what yesterday looked like, you can always start again. What makes life worth living is the fact that we’re even alive at all. Life isn’t linear. It goes in all sorts of ways and sometimes things may not pan out as we plan them, but yet we practice resilience anyway because throughout the good and not so good situations we may have encountered in our pasts, deep down we still felt that something about life was meaningful and beautiful enough to continue on. I don’t think there’s one solid reason why I choose to wake up and get the most out of my life. There are many little things (old and new experiences, feelings, and enjoyments that make up the whole) that affects us all differently as human beings. I feel it’s our perception on these things that matters. I wouldn’t want to change any specific thing for myself at the moment because life, for me at this point is about constant change. I think moving as smoothly as we can with that change and not being so focused on a single outcome that will pass just as fast as it came to us can help us appreciate the bigger changes in our lives more when we notice them.

#thank you for the well wishes! <3 #sorry this is so long! #ask

Closed starter for @whxlmedwing

Harvey had never seen his mother so happy, so excited, before. She didn’t think it would actually happen, but her bid was accepted, and the sale went through. She gave their landlord a 30-day notice, and that was that. They were moving to the suburbs. The last few days were a flurry of packing. On moving day, Harvey and Lissie got into Dolores’ car, and they began the hour-long journey to Gotham Estates.

“You guys excited?” Dolores asked, not taking her eyes off the road. “It’s a much safer neighborhood, we won’t have to worry about crime. Gotham Estates is one of those neighborhoods where everyone knows each other, it’s very close-knit. There’s a lot of kids your age. You’ll have a backyard, and I don’t have to worry about you getting shot every time you leave the house…”

Lissie crossed her arms and glared at her mother. “Mom, I already have friends! I don’t need to make new ones!” She protested. She was still angry about being uprooted from her two best friends, and starting seventh grade without them.

She hadn’t taken the news well. She’d locked herself in her room, flung herself on her bed, and cried for what seemed like hours. Lissie was a bit…dramatic at her age.

Harvey didn’t say anything, just stared out the window watching the cold, gray,  Gotham landscape pass by. Despite the school’s prestigious reputation, he was fine with leaving Gotham Academy and going back to public school. He never fit in there anyway. He wasn’t excited about the move, but he wasn’t upset like Lissie, either. Maybe this would be a chance to start over. A chance to make new friends. He allowed himself to be cautiously optimistic.

The next day was a Saturday. Now that all the unpacking was done and they’d settled into the new house, a whole day loomed in front of Harvey and Lissie. It was summer, so they had two whole unsupervised months to look forward to. Harvey and Lissie were free range kids. Dolores never coddled them, and trusted them to be responsible. So she gave them just one rule: be home by 7:30.

Dolores emerged from her new home office- which was still a mess- to find Harvey and Lissie standing in the hallway.

“Go on, shoo,” she said playfully, motioning them to leave. “It’s a beautiful day. You two should go outside, get some fresh air. Do whatever the hell you kids do for fun!”

Harvey didn’t need to be told twice. He ran ahead of his sister and left the house. Outside, it was a bright, muggy, day, and he didn’t see anyone else on the street.

My father was martyred by Israel on 10 October 2023 after sacrificing his care in hospital so the injured children could take priority. Today would have been his 60th birthday. He was always selfless, kind, and giving for others. My father gave up everything for me to be able to have a better life, because that is what he always dreamed for me and my sister. The world suffered a great loss when he died, and my heart is always with him and every Palestinian who has lost someone.

In his honour and memory, I would love for anyone who is able to do so to consider donating to The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.

The PCRF is an amazing organisation that does so much for those in Gaza right now, including helping provide food, water and medicine. You can donate any amount you are able to- there is no minimum! My father would have given his very last cent if he saw the way Palestine was continuing to suffer after over 100 days with this limited aid, so I know celebrating him by helping others is the least he would have wanted.

I saw @parrot-parent do a very successful donation match and I thought it was such a good idea so I will also match all donations up to $500! If you feel comfortable sending me proof of the amount of your donation, I will match it as a donation at the end of February. (My messages are set to mutuals only, but if you donate and we aren’t mutuals if you send an ask with the proof I will make sure to answer it privately.)

#can you tell my baby pictures with him are my favourite 🙂 #sorry this is so long and emotional I just knew I wanted to do something in celebration of his birthday #and he really was the most selfless person so helping others through his memory is a perfect way to do so #if no one sends me their proof of donations I will just donate $500 at the end of the month 👍 #🦢

Rowling isn't denying holocaust. She just pointed out that burning of transgender health books is a lie as that form of cosmetic surgery didn't exist. But of course you knew that already, didn't you?

I was thinking I'd probably see one of you! You're wrong :) Let's review the history a bit, shall we?

In this case, what we're talking about is the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, or in English, The Institute of Sexology. This Institute was founded and headed by a gay Jewish sexologist named Magnus Hirschfeld. It was founded in July of 1919 as the first sexology research clinic in the world, and was run as a private, non-profit clinic. Hirschfeld and the researchers who worked there would give out consultations, medical advice, and even treatments for free to their poorer clientele, as well as give thousands of lectures and build a unique library full of books on gender, sexuality, and eroticism. Of course, being a gay man, Hirschfeld focused a lot on the gay community and proving that homosexuality was natural and could not be "cured".

Hirschfeld was unique in his time because he believed that nobody's gender was either one or the other. Rather, he contended that everyone is a mixture of both male and female, with every individual having their own unique mix of traits.

This leads into the Institute's work with transgender patients. Hirschfeld was actually the one to coin the term "transsexual" in 1923, though this word didn't become popular phrasing until 30 years later when Harry Benjamin began expanding his research (I'll just be shortening it to trans for this brief overview.) For the Institute, their revolutionary work with gay men eventually began to attract other members of the LGBTA+, including of course trans people.

Contrary to what Anon says, sex reassignment surgery was first tested in 1912. It'd already being used on humans throughout Europe during the 1920's by the time a doctor at the Institute named Ludwig Levy-Lenz began performing it on patients in 1931. Hirschfeld was at first opposed, but he came around quickly because it lowered the rate of suicide among their trans patients. Not only was reassignment performed at the Institute, but both facial feminization and facial masculization surgery were also done.

The Institute employed some of these patients, gave them therapy to help with other issues, even gave some of the mentioned surgeries for free to this who could not afford it! They spoke out on their behalf to the public, even getting Berlin police to help them create "transvestite passes" to allow people to dress however they wanted without the threat of being arrested. They worked together to fight the law, including trying to strike down Paragraph 175, which made it illegal to be homosexual. The picture below is from their holiday party, Magnus Hirschfeld being the gentleman on the right with the fabulous mustache. Many of the other people in this photo are transgender.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of a group of people. Some are smiling at the camera, others have serious expressions. Either way, they all seem to be happy. On the right side, an older gentleman in glasses- Magnus Hirschfeld- is sitting. He has short hair and a bushy mustache. He is resting one hand on the shoulder of the person in front of him. His other hand is being held by a person to his left. Another person to his right is holding his shoulder.]

There was always push back against the Institute, especially from conservatives who saw all of this as a bad thing. But conservatism can't stop progress without destroying it. They weren't willing to go that far for a good while. It all ended in March of 1933, when a new Chancellor was elected. The Nazis did not like homosexuals for several reasons. Chief among them, we break the boundaries of "normal" society. Shortly after the election, on May 6th, the book burnings began. The Jewish, gay, and obviously liberal Magnus Hirschfeld and his library of boundary-breaking literature was one of the very first targets. Thankfully, Hirschfeld was spared by virtue of being in Paris at the time (he would die in 1935, before the Nazis were able to invade France). His library wasn't so lucky.

This famous picture of the book burnings was taken after the Institute of Sexology had been raided. That's their books. Literature on so much about sexuality, eroticism, and gender, yes including their new work on trans people. This is the trans community's Alexandria. We're incredibly lucky that enough of it survived for Harry Benjamin and everyone who came after him was able to build on the Institute's work.

[Image ID: A black and white photo of the May Nazi book burning of the Institute of Sexology's library. A soldier, back facing the camera, is throwing a stack of books into the fire. In the background of the right side, a crowd is watching.]

As the Holocaust went on, the homosexuals of Germany became a targeted group. This did include transgender people, no matter what you say. To deny this reality is Holocaust denial. JK Rowling and everyone else who tries to pretend like this isn't reality is participating in that evil. You're agreeing with the Nazis.

But of course, you knew that already, didn't you?

For me reading these deep dives on OTW issues u guys apparently it's been said multiple times that one of their objective statements is to have paid staff for ao3 and there's a surplus of donations they haven't used up or the other community solutions that needs to address. For those more financially literate feel free to analyze, snipe me or add to the discussion etc. linked here by deepa. They’re cool and these yearly analysis they did aint no joke.

But Seriously what can we do for these volunteers? The probable burn out from this entire fiasco would be no joke. @ao3org

#can we give them hot cocoa or smth #sorry if the org is so pressed rn #but gotta psa some of these issues while the iron is hot #and post is gaining traction #DDoS is over for AO3 but now it’s targeting other NGOs related to OTW org it’s despicable #EDIT 2: AO3 is Back :3 #EDIT: WE ARE PAST 24 HRS BUCKLE UP FOR A LONG RIDE #no devil works harder than ao3 volunteers #archive of our own #ao3 #ao3 update #btw yall know I’m not forcing anyone to donate right? #i mostly made this to the regular karens who bash the archive anytime they ask for donation #ddos attack #hackers #fanfic #fanfiction #fandom #spn #supernatural #tags to better circulate this news #destiel #lol #hobie brown #spider punk #spiderverse #no hate

Thalia doesn’t keep many things in the hundreds of years she’s been alive. 

But long ago, there were people, their names all but distant memories, who mattered in her 1st lifetime. It’s their things that stay hidden in her bag, reminding her of her mortal life. 

A blue hoodie, worn almost threadbare. The scent of its original owner, long since leached from the fabric. But if she closes her eyes, she can almost see the blue eyes of her first and only love. 

A pair of glasses. Frames cracked and crooked. A reminder of a brother she never got to truly know. 

A baseball cap. It’s magic long faded, branded with a forgotten logo. Memories of a blonde girl laughing hidden deep within. 

A letter. Ink fading, paper yellow. The last words of a dying friend. Words that wish her well, words that wished her well in a world they had fought side by side to save. 

Thalia doesn’t keep a lot of things, but even after all this time, Luke, Jason, Annabeth, and Percy will stay with her forever. The memories of her first family to remind her why life is so beautiful.

#I know i forgot grover but i cant think of anything for him #percy jackon and the olympians #percabeth #percy jackson #percy and annabeth #annabeth chase #thaluke #thalia grace #pjo thalia #jason grace #hunters of artemis #thalia grace is my current roman empire #someday she'll live so long that she'll forget their names and their voices and that makes me physically sick #thaluke were doomed by the narritive #this is sad sorry
