Height gap romance except the shorter one is frequently depicted in situations where they are contextually taller. The taller one sitting while the shorter one looms over them. Both of them lying in bed with the taller one’s head pressed to the shorter one’s chest. The shorter one straddling the taller one’s lap and leaning down for a kiss. The taller one on their knees as the shorter one tilts their head up. Please, it makes me go feral

Just checking.... We all pronounce Miette like My-TAY in our heads, right?

#WHAT #Mee-et pls and thank you for all you anglophones #In one syllable #Like myet #It means crumb #Oh my world is shattered by the knowledge a large part of this website pronounces this iconic meme so wrong #It's not the same meme like that. The vibes are off.

I cant believe this tweet is how I find out

#I will keep repeating this forever : #The main reason for this is that the UNCRC prohibits the death penalty under 18 #And the USA refuses to deprive itself on the opportunity to execute 16yo's #So like yes it has consequences in every domain of children's lives and rights #But primarily it is bc the USA proudly and openly wants to hold on to the state sanctioned murder of kids and lbr mainly black boys

are certain lubes better suited for vaginal or anal sex? or are they all the same?

hi anon,

water-based, oil-based, and silicone-based lube are all suitable for either vaginal or anal sex. many people prefer silicone-based lubricants for anal sex because it's so long-lasting and durable, which is helpful when you're working with an orifice that won't naturally lubricate itself. oil-based lubricants are also a no-go with latex condoms, which is relevant for both vaginal and anal sex. beyond that it's all a matter of personal preference!

#This goes as long as you're having anal sex with someone with a penis #Don't use silicone based lube with silicone toys #(and you should be using silicone toys. That or quality glass or metal. Not jelly or tpr or stuff they're bacteria nests) #Bc silicone dissolves silicone so you'll fuck up your toys #There are hybrid lubes with just a small fraction of silicone in it - those work bc too diluted to do damage #And there are especially formulated water bases lubes too #With a thicker and longer lasting texture #Sliquid Sassy is rly good for that (also do recommend if you have a vagina and deal with vaginal dryness for whatever reason) #There used to be a UK lube brand called YES that had the YES but lube which was p similar and even more Natural TM #But they discontinued it. And also import taxes to the EU suck and big EU stores don't stock them

Baby smurf is OBSESSED with Lilou it is the most adorable thing

He'll usually want to nurse about half an hour before Lilou gets up on workdays, so by the time she does he's still awake, laid down on the bed between my legs to get some wiggles out

And then as she's getting ready he just keeps staring at her, completely captivated, following her with his eyes as she moves around, making cooing noises, and visibly lighting up every time his giant love bug eyes inevitably summon her back to the bed for a kiss or a quick babble conversation

She's predictably left late every single day in the month since her leave ended but idc it's worth it for the melting

#We rly won the baby lottery #Idk what we did to deserve that #Nothing. We just lucked out. But my god did we luck out. #(this is obviously a perfectly objectively truthful fact and not me being head over heels in love) #It's been a godawful month for other reasons which I do not wish to share until we've gotten some more clarity (normally within the week) #But. Him. God. Him. I'm sad and scared a lot but it's so easy to be happy when he's happy.

narratively I am a fan of romances that don’t ever actually become romances

I don’t mean in an aromantic life partner way, I mean romantic tension that is never resolved or acted upon for whatever reason but by the end it’s clear that both characters experienced the love of their lives without ever acknowledging it as such. but they know. they know.

a lot of queer people i know in real life are either into or open to talking about astrology but online i think ive noticed a lot more people who dislike astrology and im super curious to see if that holds up.

please reblog for sample size and elaborate in the tags if you want!

i'll go first my parents almost named me felicity. which would've been so cool but i definitely would've been like 5x crazier if i was named that

#There was no alternative to Sarah for girl names #They both wanted to name their daughter that from the start #I know what the alternative was if I'd been a boy though #And I liked it enough that it's now the name of our son #So :p

reblog or reply with your love song. you know, the one that you think is what love sounds like

#The one that hits the hardest on each listen because it embodies the core of #Love as a choice and as an action and love with teeth defiant in the face of terror and an inevitable tragic end and as endlessly worth it #Is hozier's Francesca #Atm #I Carrion and Work Song obv hit rly hard too #I also rly feel some of tswift's love songs sorry #Cornelia Street New Years Day and Sweet Nothing also rly hit me where I live #And I've always had a giant soft spot for Can't Help Falling In Love. Used to mostly love covers but the OG is so good #It's about 'take my hand take my whole life too' like that is what love is #Also. Obviously always and forever. Young and Beautiful by Lana #Was our wedding song for a reason #The verses are more youthful but we met rly young and the lyrics fit in a way and then the whole song bridges from youthful to. Well. #No longer young and beautiful. To sticking together past the end of everything #It's the same theme of trusting and choosing to love in the face of shit that sucks severely

#It's cool but bc I Rly streamlined the system #I have a list with all the possible meals we eat #I know the ingredients for most recipes by heart and have the recipes printed or bookmarked as back up #I order everything online via collect and go which means making the grocery list and shopping is basically the same thing #And then we go pick it up by car #And our car is great it's a kangoo one of those family vans and thus fits six grocery boxes in the trunk #Which is usually the room 10-14 days of groceries take #So it's rly convenient to transport them #And then Lilou brings all the boxes up bc my knee #And I put everything away bc I babe a System in the fridge and pantry #And then I hang the list of meals on the fridge on which I have indicated which meals I've bought stuff for for this period #And when we've eaten the meal we cross it off #Next step is that the store's new app allows making recipes with ingredients where you can just click on that recipe #And it'll add all the ingredients to your cart #But I haven't yet taken the time to do that #I do have separate lists in the app for breakfast foods and for snacks bc those are not on the meal list #But so those are convenient to add too #And then neighbourhood store grocery runs are for things we've forgotten or run out off unexpectedly or for special little treats #So those are rather fun tbh
