#this is why i LOVE my best friend

[dollopheadsandclotpoles]

Due to that post I made re: why it's hard for aros/aces to imagine a future for themselves because society tells you a romantic partner will always take priority, a lot of people (aros/aces and allos alike) are sharing stories about how they have been discarded by their close friends and it's breaking my heart. But allos and aspecs coming in and sharing how they have the same amount of love for their partners and their best friends/siblings is healing it.

Still, there are people in the tags saying that aros/aces can "never offer their partners the kind of intimacy they need" and so they shouldn't be "surprised" when they feel closer to partners than their friends. You guys are missing the point.

The point is that we should NOT be ranking our relationships. People aren't there to be ranked on a scale of "This person is my number one and this person comes after that." The point is that you need multiple people in your life. One person cannot - and should not - be responsible for giving you everything you need. Different people will give you different things that you need in life and you should value all of them.

The idea that a romantic partner will give you every single thing you need in life is a toxic idea in itself and puts undue pressure on said partner and the relationship as a whole. A best friend won't give you everything either. You NEED multiple people in your life and they will all give you a part of what you need, but there is no one perfect person out there who perfectly gives you exactly what you want. We need multiple people and they should all be valued by you. Love is not limited.

#aro stuff #ace stuff #aroace tag #aro #ace #aromanticism #asexuality #aromantic #asexual #aroace #This idea that a romantic partner comes before everything and everyone else is a very Western idea too #I'm grateful that I live in a culture where family and community are important parts of life. #I'm lucky that my best friend considers me as important as her husband #i'm lucky that I'm close to my family and have unconditional love from them #why do I have to rank the relationships in my life #a mother with two kids can love and prioritise them equally #as my own mother does #why is it impossible for some of you to imagine doing that with other relationships in your life? #(i wrote this when I was sleepy and wrote unrequited love instead of unconditional love i'm so dumb lol #i do return my family's love)

I’ve been thinking about Steve and Eddie’s canon interactions, so let’s forget Steddie for a second.

I’ve been wondering, why would Steve tell Eddie not to be a hero? of course, he worries about Dustin. But Dustin has done this before, I think Steve trusts him to not do anything that would get him killed.

Steve worries about Eddie.

And he never says "Eddie is not so bad" or stuff like that, but he worries the second he meets him. He's the one concerned about Eddie wandering around while being a fugitive. When Eddie opens his heart to him about changing his mind about him, Steve doesn't show any interest but he's concerned when Eddie refers to himself as a coward.

Steve listens carefully but so silently I don’t think anybody notices. And he does this with everyone, he listens and he pretends not to care but I might argue that he’s the most attentive one of the group. He listens to Dustin when he tells him about his love life, to the kids when they have the plan to go to the tunnels in season 2, to Robin in any possible occasion and to Eddie when he confesses to feeling like a coward.

It’s been what? Two days? since Eddie got involved with the upside down and Steve as been attentive enough to have a part of him know that Eddie could do something stupid about being a coward.

They’re not close enough for Steve to be certain or to say more, but he worried nonetheless.

#I’m back again at my Steve is the best agenda #hit the follow button for more reasons why you should love Steve Harrington #that’s literally what’s on my mind 24/7 #so I might as well share it with the group #Steve is that friend who would LISTEN #and I love him for that #steddie #steve harrington #eddie munson #steve and eddie #stranger things

when i read criticism of the show I'm always a little befuddled bc while i think they have some valid points. have u ever met a 12 year old before

#conversely; have u ever been a 12 year old girl who thinks shes better than everyone but also doesnt know why no one seems to love her #anyway #the nuance is hard to pin but its between i dont give a fuck about anything and also FUCK everything except my mom my best friend #and that weird girl who pushed me into a lake #pjo #percy jackson #annabeth chase #pjo tv show #disney pjo #percy jackson and the olympians

a detective who has a partner🔍 and a partner💕 who are friends so the three of them end up doing a lof things together and the detective refers to them as "my partners" and doesn't realise this makes everyone think they're polyamorous (they do end up polyamorous by the end of the story)

#once people start making remarks and they do realise they're apprehensive to the idea at first #(the detective that is. the partners just find it funny i think) #in a shocked and confused way #like “why would you think that! a is my best friend and b is... also my best friend. but one of them is my colleague and the other my spous #“i do not have an unprofessional relationship with my colleague! ...well i do #but a completely platonic one!“ #(they do get up to a lot of hijinks together and it wouldn't be true to call them completely professional) #the detective doesn't stop calling them 'my partners' they just have a monologue about the nature of their relationship locked and loaded #it's a friends to lovers very slow burn to get to the throuple part but we do get there eventually #character concept #yes i initially imagined the detective as a man because i love men and most famous detectives unfortunately are men #however this would work very well in any gender scenario. all three of them are non-binary in different ways. all of them are women. #i think the main detective would be really fun if she was a Philomena Cunk type of character. very smart but So dumb and self-assured #really the main thing the detective needs to be is autistic

You know, I feel like other trans people might get this, but it's honestly kind of refreshing when a cis person has, like, undeniable tboy/tgirl/whatever swag. It's like when you come across somebody who speaks the same language as you and you only find out when they start speaking it, too.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #all this to say that we are existing on a rock hurling through space #and this universe is going to collide into another and does it all truly matter in the end? #a lot of this is based on ideas we have about what constitutes certain people and i think it can be a fun observation #so long as you do not inherently ascribe certain traits as being indicative of who somebody Is #it can be amusing when you're SO confident that somebody is a certain way until you realize how Wrong you were #the amusement for me only comes because it's like... 'you tried your best to box somebody and you FAILED lmao' #and in a weird way it's kind of comforting because it reminds me that we all come into this world with bias that Will be challenged... #...so the best thing you can do is recognize those biases and then try to overcome them through great effort... #...so yes maybe i did think that cis dude had tboy swag but. that's not inherently his problem you know? #it probably just means he's confident in his manhood in a way that reminds me of the trans men* i know and love #i noticed that in him and it reminded me of my friends who are trans so i think 'oh! maybe that's why he's giving off those vibes!' #so while i won't treat him any differently before or after finding out i was wrong i'm still going to appreciate the fact that... #...he and i are literally just Vibing on the same planet and we both don't have time for petty arguing about manhood #i'll acknowledge what inspired those thoughts in me but that is Not his problem and that's good and beautiful actually #i don't always mind the tboy/tgirl swag meme just so long as you don't treat it like an Inherent Trans Experience Only Trans People Have #just recognize where those ideas are inspired from and it's fine <3 #sometimes you will be Wrong and that's actually fucking neutral <<3 #anyway rant over i just think this is /generally/ harmless and fun #like astrology. sometimes you just look up your star sign without ascribing your Entire Life to it <3 #i think what i lot of people mean by saying a cis person has tboy/tgirl swag is just that... #...that cis person has an understanding of themself that comes from deep introspection that isn't necessarily expected of cis folk... #...but it is often something trans people do as part of our exploration of gender... #how is this the FIRST POST to reach tag limit... ask me for more thoughts if you want lol!

Just Admit It- Part 1

I've been playing around with possible friendship dynamics of the Beast Council for fun!! I love imagining what kind of childhood they could have in the Forgotten Land all together.

What if Carol and Sillydillo are the fun-loving extroverts? Leon is the introverted one who's been smitten by Carol for a really really long time but he's too shy about it? And Gori is the friend who is an excellent observer and will bluntly tell you what he thinks (and maybe has a tendency to get grumpy when things aren't easily going his way).

Somewhat of a prequel to this other doodle comic about Leon and Carol- everyone here is still a kid ^_^

Part 2

#I know beast pack headcanons are so wildly up to interpretation! there's a few canon personality traits and lots of space to fill in betwee #I also just love stories about a group of lifelong friends all doing their best! #so why not play around with them and see what kind of stories about love and friendship they might experience? heehee. #and not all of them are about just Leon and Carol I have other plans!! this is just one of the first ones I have :P #these are quick and very self indulgent but I hope they can still be enjoyable hehe #friend squads for the win!! #also I feel like I draw the beast council a little differently every time I try lol. I'm getting used to them okay they are all so so shape #you should see the first drawings I ever tried to do of them. they are a little rough xD #I'm starting to understand why there's not a TON of content for them. Pretty much everyone except Carol are BUILT DIFFERENT #LEONGAR. WHY is your body and head proportioned like that?! you made me make up my own rules for drawing you!! #sillydillo and your funny little snout! I learned so much studying you! and I have so much work to do with all of you adjakflja #but I guess that's the definition of developing personal art styles huh? #so I guess these funny little stories have the added benefit of getting me more comfortable with the beasts! #ANYWAY that concludes this round of Jojo's director's commentary. like and subscribe #beast pack #clawroline #leongar #sillydillo #gorimondo #beast council #Kirby and the forgotten land #Kirby series #art #caroleon #???? #sHOOT I still don't know the ship name I can't commit to one someone please tell me what it is I don't want to make one up ahh #ask me to tag it and I will happily do so sdjakfljdsla

[straydogsbungou]

This is not a request, just wanted your opinion on this! What do you think how would Chuuya react to female y/n wear a lingerie for the first time? I think he would tease the hell out of her and even go feral lmao-

Thank you for answering! Have a lovely day!

A/N: I'm so sorry love but I'm going to turn this into a whole post because YOU GOT MY BRAIN SPINNING. Thank you so much for this question! I also wrote something for Dazai and Kunikida &lt;3

Warning: a bit suggestive.

Chuuya:

One thing everybody should know about Chuuya is that he has drunk his respecting women's juices.

Chuuya's going to make you feel wanted and desired. You can see it when his blue eyes glide over your body and how his pupils dilate in the act of doing so. 

THE COMPLIMENTS. Listen, this man is going to let you know that he thinks you're the sexiest and most beautiful creature on this planet.

And yes, the teasing! It's the type of teasing that gets you both riled up. Please, he'd wear that typical smug grin of his that makes him look so hot.

Chuuya's going to have trouble keeping his hands to himself. He would first caress you softly to give you the space to reject his touch. But when you don't, his hands get more possessive.

Can we also talk about how his first reaction would be to be a bit flustered? His cheeks would be a shade of pink throughout the entire act. It's a mix of "Wow you're so fucking hot" and "Wow you're so hot." I hope the difference between those two is clear lol.

TL; DL he's going to be worshipping you.

Dazai:

Oh, you know Dazai is immediately in control.

It's one of the few times you catch him off guard, even if it's only for a second. But Dazai puts himself together fast, and that's when the fun begins-

He's going to be so teasing, saying everything he can to make you flustered. It is the kind of teasing which shows that even though Dazai is in control, you have him wrapped around your fingers. 

Dazai is more patient when it comes to touching you. He's almost like a predator playing with his prey: approaching you so teasingly slow, letting only an inch of space between you when he stands before you, and when his fingers finally touch your bare skin, he caresses you with touches that feel as light as a feather.

What makes it worse is his sly smile that he wears on his face, one that makes him look so unbearable but also so hot.

His eyes are darker than usual, too. It's the promise of a sleepless night. And an unwalkable morning. 

Kunikida:

HE'S GOING TO BE FLUSTERED.

Also immediately turned on, but Kunikida doesn't want to show it. It's a mix of wanting to respect you and thinking he's better than that.

But his cheeks turn bright red, and Kunikida struggles to talk in sentences that grammatically make sense.

He's trying his best to look at anything but your lingerie. Kunikida first looks you directly in the eyes but finds himself even more flustered as he can't look at you and not think about what you're wearing and how you turn him on.

Kunikida's body would become stiff, absolutely trying his hardest to make you not uncomfortable and to stop him from doing anything impulsive.

It's only when you approach him and touch him that he gives in. Suddenly Kunikida's body relaxes, and his explore your body, having a concentrated look on his face with dilated pupils.

Let's say Kunikida is a very passionate man to keep this as non-nsfw as possible...

#chuuya x reader #dazai x reader #kunikida x reader #bsd x reader #chuuya nakahara #bsd x you #dazai osamu #kunikida doppo #bsd headcanons #bsd x y/n #One of my best friends (and hugest Dazai lover) came up with the unwalkable morning part lol and it's one of the many reasons why I love he #*r thank you tags for limiting how many letters I can use in one

Not even days after Byler get together Lucas and Dustin are so exasperated with their lovesick best friends that Dustin tries to look on the bright side like “dude, no, maybe this is good! Now we can steal from Mike, and Will can cover for us, and we don’t have to worry about Will anymore because he has a bodyguard for life!” until Lucas blankly says, “that’s no different from how things were before,” and Dustin’s face falls and he’s like, “shit, you’re right,” and then they’re exasperated again

On the topic of Regulus' patronus, since I won't let this die until I see it in a fic even if I have to write it myself.

Regulus: Why can't I get this bloody charm to work

Remus: Happy thoughts, Reg. Happy thoughts.

Regulus: What part of my upbringing gave you the illusion I have those?

Remus: Happy. Thoughts

Peter: Think like that fairy! Tonker Bells!

Remus: Tinker Bell. Purebloods.

Regulus: Could you two stop arguing over muggle cartoons so I can focus!

Regulus: Expecto Patronum!

Sirius: Bloody hell Reggie, is that a lion?

Regulus: Oh.

James: Oh.

Remus: He's beautiful Reg, what are you going to name him?

Regulus: Helios

Sirius: You're going to name your patronus after the sun?

Regulus: It keeps to the family theme doesn't it?

Sirius: Mother would have a fit. Looks like both her sons are more Gryffindor than Black. This is bloody brilliant! Told you Reggie, you should've been sorted into Gryffindor!

James: I think his patronus is perfect for him.

Regulus: I think so too.

#just imagine its an AU where Regulus ran away with Sirius to the Potters #Regulus likes to hang out with the Maraduers in the Gryffindor Common Room #James was trying not to cry after he saw the patronus #James did in fact cry after he heard the name #James remembered all the times Regulus called him 'my sun' and 'sunshin' and he KNEW #they havent said I love you yet but this was somehow even more profound #Remus is just eaying his chocolate amused by Regulus and James being idiots in love #remus knew they were in love and thats why he convinced Regulus to practice the Patronus in the common room #Sirius isnt actually unaware of the secret romance between his best friend and brother but he has a bet going with Peter #they want to see who will confess to him firsr #itll be James #while drunk #jegulus #marauders headcanon #incorrect marauders quotes #dead gay wizards #regulus deserved better #regulus x james #regulus arcturus black #james deserved better #james fleamont potter #james x regulus #starchaser
