I'm about to become the moreos guy but for Reeses big cup

The best part of Will saying he wants forever with Mike so blatantly is that he isn't the one who brought it up, Mike was. In an act of projection he asks "What did you think? That we'd actually get to be together forever? When we're both boys?" and will says yes. He says yes, and Mike immediately regrets it.

Memes for when you are reading Harrow the Ninth for the first time and have no idea what is going on:

i love being part of a fandom with so many smart people who can predict plot twists and make connections in the text, BUT

i need a little representation for those of us who had a blank screen with a loading bar running in our brains for the entirety of Harrow the Ninth!!!

snippet sunday 🎄

another lil snip from deck the halls, not your family (which i have been affectionately calling eddie vs margaret buckley in my head, lmao)

Eddie rolls over and kisses Buck’s mouth. “Wanna fool around?” he asks, nosing along Buck’s whiskered cheek and chuckling when he’s tickled.    Buck sighs, feigning a put-upon attitude, and wraps his arms around Eddie. “What a romantic,” he muses, pulling Eddie half on top of his chest. “You know just how to make your man swoon.”  “Shut up,” Eddie says, flicking Buck’s cheek, but he shoves his hand down Buck’s pants, anyway, and grips his soft cock. It’s warm in his hand, velvet-like and damp at the tip; Buck hisses and fists Eddie’s t-shirt, bringing him in for a mean, dirty kiss.  Eddie groans, drops his mouth open for Buck to lick inside as he fondles Buck’s dick, stripping the length and pinching at the sticky head, and he’s lifting up to spread himself across Buck’s big body, attempting to shove down both his and Buck’s pants and underwear with one hand because the other’s in Buck’s hair, when three sharp knocks break through the fuzzy air.  “Dad? Buck?”  Eddie rips away from Buck, moving off and over and away. “No goddamn way this is happening again,” he curses beneath his breath, elbowing Buck in the kidney when he starts to laugh, and then, louder, “Yeah, baby?”  Christopher stays quiet for a moment before tentatively asking, “Are you guys still awake?”  “Yeah,” Buck answers, leaning up and adjusting his pants. He reaches over and flicks on his bedside lamp, illuminating the room in soft white light. “Come in.”

hi, new follower here for the exquisite ME fanart, have you played supergiant games' hades? pretty sure that's something i'd love to see in your style

Thank you for the kindness! Regarding Hades, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that it's not my type of game, gameplay-wise. I usually don't enjoy combat for its own sake. The good news is that I did some research, because in this instance I'm perfectly fine with watching someone else suffer with combat. So, at the very least, I did some scribbles for you based on my findings :)

cw: mention of previous abuse, dad Dabi, mom reader, mention of childbirth, angst

new dad touya that doesn’t know how to deal with his son. he’s growing too fast and his smiles are so big, but he’s still not sure how to just be with him.

touya isn’t abusive in the slightest, not like his shit for brains dad. he can acknowledge, after you’ve drilled it into his head on cold nights where you had to hold his quivering cheeks in your hand, that he’s better. that he’s trying. that he’s a great dad.

he doesn’t really believe it. it’s hard to believe that he’s a great dad when his son, still covered in that fresh newborn smell, stares up at him with matching azure blue eyes, the little shit, and he finds it hard to smile back. it’d be easier to smile back if he could guarantee a life with no trauma, with the perfect pair of parents, that he’d love him as much as his tiny little face deserved.

touya can still hear the labor and delivery nurse tell him that he must’ve gotten on your nerves for the baby to look so much like him, and that they’ve never seen a baby that fresh out the womb smile so big at their dad. he hands the little bundle back to you, and glares at the nurse who hands him a tissue. he takes it anyway.

touya loves his son. so goddamn much that it hurts, but, he doesn’t know how to be a dad. and he knows that you don’t know how to be a mom either, that it’s a learning process for the both of you. but he’s so scared—he’s terrified that he’ll fuck up this innocent brat with his ruin. with his scars and history and the want to better but never knowing how to just be.

so he leaves. it’s the day after your sons first birthday that you celebrated together in your home.

you thought everything was okay, that he was starting to get the hang of being a dad. he did everything right, why couldn’t he stay? he sat on the floor with your son and changed his diaper and made him giggle those addicting baby giggles? he carried your son everywhere whenever he cried after being sat down without a single complaint? he helped him open his birthday presents? he didn’t smash the cake in his face, only swiped a little icing on his sons nose to hear that addicting baby giggle? he held your son like he could never let him go?

how could he just go like this? you thought he was finally learning and accepting how to be a dad? what happened?

eddie 100% buys those like logs of raw cookie dough and then walks around the house eating it like a burrito

Y’all say Mike has a crush on Eddie but I fully believe he has a crush on Steve and dresses like Eddie because he’s cool and absolutely nothing like Steve. He acts like he hates him to try to get over it (it absolutely doesn’t work a single bit).

🌹🌹 politely asking for a glimpse of the 5+1 sleepy pavlovian fic pls

He made quick work of tying his trainers, and if while he was bent over he pressed his eyes into his knees, blotting tears against the fabric, well it was probably fucking obvious that that's what he was doing but no one was going to say shit, were they? Was fucking damage control now. They'd already seen him bawl like a fucking baby, the least Jamie could do was make sure they didn't have to keep seeing it.

I am haaating these kinds of takes regarding Poor Things so much. I mean I can at least appreciate that they're more thoughtful than the stupid 'the sex scenes are evil and gross' or 'it's a dumb art movie' ones but they're still so short sighted.

I mean how can you watch a movie about a woman who was born into exploitative and confining circumstances and yet insists upon her own agency at every turn and who chooses to experience the world on her own terms and becomes empowered through learning and growth and thinks 'oh yeah the whole point of the movie is men are bad'. That's just making the movie all about the men and how they view and treat her and throws how she reacts to them and her own journey out the window. It's a point, it's not the point.

I mean her learning philosophy and getting the chance to open her mind to different worldviews and her seeing the poor people and realizing there are people who live much different lives from her that she'd been blind to are also, ya know, big points in the movie and those aren't about the patriarchy. I mean ffs how do you miss how she constantly and forcefully shuts down people's attempts to wrangle or control her!! How the movie ends with her choosing the life that she wants! Boiling down the movie to only how a couple of the male characters act is just so. fucking dumb.

im CRAAAAZZZYYYY im FUCKING INSANE!!!!!! i’m a cycle path….. HHHHHHHFDRRRRRRRHHHHHGHHHH

OMG IM A LIMITED LIFE BDUBS DEFENDER FOREVER HE DIDNT DO ANYTHING WRONG WHY WERE TIES SO MEAN. :((((

HE JUST WANTS TO HANGOUT WITH HIS DAD AND HIS DADS FRIENDS ARE MEANNNN

THEN HIS DAD KILLS HIM

HES MAKING ME SO SADDD

THIS IS SO TRAGIC I CANTTT

Past two weeks I've been making big squishy blankets instead of plushies and honestly I understand the ancient human past time of making a blankie and zoning out
