The girlies who say they had a relationship with a tamlin and their new relationship is with a rhysand, I hate to break it to you, but you have not broken the cycle of abuse; you just switched to an abuser with different tactics.

I just saw your Graves with a tall reader, which I loved, so funny at times. So you know I gotta do it, can I request Graves with a short reader? Gotta boost that man's ego 💜

Glad to hear the Graves simps are enjoying my writing and want him to be doing well mentally! And I agree, sometimes you just need to make Graves happy since he, too, will notice your efforts and try to make you happy as well, even if he does it the Graves way!

Graves with a Shorter!Reader

Graves will have hit the jackpot with someone shorter than him in all honesty. As mentioned already, it’s in his blood to be bigger and stronger and scarier than his partner, which means he gets to protect them at all times. I can see him actually going for shorter people as well. While, if asked about it, he would always tell you that it’s because you have an easier time seeing just how reliable he is, in reality he just wants to feed his ego. He used to be taller than everyone else until he stopped growing, he really just wants to feel good about himself in all honesty. Every time he looks at you, he becomes aware of the height difference and sometimes the sly bastard even starts smiling about it. The bigger the height difference the better.

If he can literally tower over you, maybe trap you between him and the wall while he looks down at you, then all is good in his life. The shorter you are the better the angle at which you view him. He can toss his hair back and it will look as though he was in some series or movie with an attractive lead, in his eyes. Besides, he also gets to tilt your face so you’ll look at him when he’s talking. In all honesty, he genuinely believes he can fluster you more easily when he’s the taller one, and he genuinely just wants you to be speechless at least once in a while. Will sweet talk you while putting his fingers under your chin.

He’s also more prone to letting you be the big spoon, or lets you hold him more often in general. You being his backpack is funny to him, as mentioned before, so he will take his sweet time enjoying the feel of you being tiny. Again, if it was up to him, you’d be roughly 1,50, or something around that. That way there would, at the very least, still be 15cm between the two of you. Graves is a very touchy person in general, so don’t be surprised if he walks up to you and puts his head on top of yours, maybe even trying to put some weight of his on you as well so you can feel just how powerful he is. You’re more than welcome to try and shake him off, though. He will feign hurt, but it amuses him anyway.

Remember how I said Graves would be even more butthurt if you crack a few too many jokes about his height when you’re taller? He’d have his fun with someone who is sensitive about their height. You will constantly hear him refer to you as his little something, whether that be little sweetie, little honeypie or even his little pile of sugar. As long as he gets to emphasize you being the shorter one he’ll be happy. If you’re dysphoric about your height, then he’ll stop, but if you’re only mad because of a relatively harmless reason, you’ll never hear the end of it. Might even crack a joke such as pointing at a skittle on the ground and saying it’s almost as small as you are. The bigger your reaction, the better. Force him to sleep on the couch and he might stop for a day or two, but you can never get him to permanently stop.

Loves picking you up and throwing you over his shoulder. You can struggle all you want, this man can carry his own Shadows over his shoulder while they’re struggling, so you don’t really stand a chance against him. He gets all the more smug if you do struggle since he knows you won’t be able to escape him. It’s things like that where he wants to show you that he can easily overpower you, but he can easily protect you as well. Just be his lovely little partner, don’t grow too much and you have a loyal guy at your service until the end of eternity. Also, he will hold you over his head and comment on your cuteness. Graves doesn’t get cuteness aggression, but he could pretend he does and squish your cheeks whenever he feels like it.

Will pick you up and sit you down on his lap as well. Yes, he will wrap his arms around you as well and render any attempt at escaping futile. Besides, getting to hold you does reassure him quite a lot. His world is in his arms, safe and sound, and he gets to pretend he’s still a cool man. He genuinely believes you think him to be a badass, even with all the teasing and whatnot. Graves has a somewhat high opinion of himself on a good day, but you can still reassure him that he is pretty epic. You can comment on how strong he is and he’ll likely flex for you, offering you to touch his bicep. But at the end of the day, barely any of this matters, what’s important is that you wanna stay with him and feel like there’s a future ahead for you. Give him a kiss and tell him you admire him and he’ll be over the moon, regardless of whether you’re shorter or taller than him.

Gordon would kill for the girls actually in my mind. He used to be upset that his old friends moved to other places on the island, but while it still hurts sometimes, he's grown to love Nia and Rebecca dearly. Do NOT fucking insult them in his presence those are HIS girls and he WILL do everything in his power to protect them. He's like the scary worker who would choke a man to death to protect his fellow coworkers. He's everyone's dad.

a wip from my maeglin of sirion au, where he survives and is a lord of sirion. this is him when sirion is sacked, at least his mental process. who can be calm when a ten foot red headed elf comes in swinging his sword

but dont get me wrong maeglin puts up a fight, he is a skilled warrior!

yeah he doesn't make it this time but he's not upset about that.

Daniel is getting on my nerves. I liked how he brought out a goofy side in Max but that's about it. So I get you. And Charles, meh, to me it is obvious that he would rather be married to Pierre, that is the obvious ship. Aside from Pierre and Yuki. Although I'm a mawis shipper, so I absolutely shouldn't talk about the delusion of ships, but Mawis is for the drama. I just don't see enough fun in Lestappen. There is neither spice nor Charles looking all that besotted. They're friends, sure, but eh. If you ask me, Charles seems much more keen to fuck Lewis than Max, anyway. It's the worship and Lewis being weirdly endeared by him.

There, I said what I said and will now go into hiding. 🤐

everybody look away now

i've come to realise i don't like the person daniel, but the idea of daniel. this character that everybody loves and when his fun sides are highlighted. when i see a photo of him smiling, i smile too. but the moment it's a video and he makes a bad joke i just... maybe i outgrew him. i think i did, you know. he was a bit different in the start, being The Funny Unserious One but now i realise he's just.. well a bit shallow. he's not always open about his opinion or what's going on with him, really. sure, the mclaren break did get him to speak up about how he's doing but i never really think we get anywhere close to who he is, you know. i think -- and all of this is from the farthest distance imaginable and just through pixels -- that i know max and lando (and sometimes lewis, but he's also quite PR-ified, but with him it doesn't bother me as much) way better than i know daniel. he does bring a little bit of a goofy side from max, and naturally max knows daniel way better than i can ever imagine doing, but i don't really like daniel as a person anymore. it started, for me i think, with daniel's quote (paraphrased since i don't fully remember and am lazy to look it up) about how he doesn't follow the news because it's too negative. bro what the fuck is that sort of shallow bullshit. and then the misoginistic podcasts he went on, laughing about women-can't-drive jokes, come oooon. but really: grow uppp. i think i outgrew him because over the years i've seen him, i've matured. and i don't think daniel has all too much. and that's why he's started to get on my nerves a bit as well.

piarles is probably the gayest ship we have on the entire paddock rn. i could only WISH for the canon content for any ship the way they keep providing.

as for lestappen: first of all i like to have it be clear that there's no such thing as shipwars and that not one ship is 'better' than the other. all of this is my personal preference and being a fan of a ship i'm not a fan of doesn't mean i don't like you or whatever. we all have our preferences and our differences! i mean no harm or offense with this ok ok ok!

that being said: lestappen is mawis lite. it's the lite version of 4433 in all their ways. the thing that makes lestappen interesting, from what i've gathered, is that they're 'enemies' to lovers. but what i see these days is that lestappen are just two co workers. they chat, occasionally, sure. but there's no real threat, there's no spice, and as you said: there's no drama. 4433 does have all that, and to me so much more as well. it never started out as enemies to lovers. it started out as a rookie who everyone hyped up soo much. a rookie that really created a stir in the f1 world. and then the growing legend, an unbeatable team and one very strong unbeatable driver. lewis had his focus on nico those years, on the whole brocedes drama (mandatory ex-lovers in any mawis ship fr fr), on growing as a successful racing driver, at being the best, at changing the world he was in to make it more accepting. on figuring out who he is as a person (we've been through quite some lewis-phases). and all that time, max was climbing up the ranks bit by bit. he was a threat to come, like the news predicting a storm and you're just waiting till the wind starts blowing and the rain starts falling. lewis felt the breeze from moment one, but wasn't threatened. lewis felt the first drops of rain, but wasn't threatened. and then all of a sudden, max was there. and they fought and they clashed and they were nice to each other until they weren't, and lewis had so much at stake and lost it. and now he's fighting again and again, never satisfied, having fallen back from his high pedestal to (hopefully) P2 in the standings. but he wants to be there, he wants to fight max again. i don't think lewis will be happy unless he's beaten max one last time to get his eighth. and then he'll retire. but it's that necessity he's fighting for. and max, just like lewis, feels the breeze and the rain, and waits.

all the while charles hopes to get on the podium a few times in a season. and then he's next to max and they're chatting and that's ok. but if lewis is there too, max spends his entire cooldown room sesh next to lewis and chatting with lewis.

so, yeah. same, anon.

upd8.... spoilers

i will say im liking how the new crew is treating this plotpoint. also i. love women. thought i should mention that

the freaking. the lipstick color.

going from roses color to kanayas aarghh [holding head] <- victors reaction to the most basic and straightforward symbolism

but also gosh. jade bringing up how gods are treated... you see people cracking jokes about it but, obvious horrible behavior aside. shes right! none of them are really capable of making a real connection! theyre caged, trapped even, within this circle of people theyve known since they were 13. and thats kinda messed up!! a little bit!!! it sucks!!!!

btw say what you will but i missed ruby. her whimsy...

the artists have been absolutly kicking it out of the park btw! like aghhh! must stress again that i love women

dear body: when I complained about being So Very Tired for no reason, what I meant was that I wanted to wake feeling rested after a long night’s sleep, not that I wanted you to wake me up at 2:30 am and keep me awake.

geara I have feelings for you. most of them are incomprehensible though

M. It was impossible to make their name look good 😔

Notes:

- Main outfit based off the orginal skin for them (minus capelet). I might do a better design at a later point but I am out of outfit brain power atm

- They like nicer clothes (like sweaters and button ups) but are often annoyed by the lack of mobility

- Mask only comes off when alone or with people they trust. Their headscarf, on the other hand, is used to protect their hair, so they might take it off in public, but usually only briefly, to adjust it.

- The Moofia was important to them. Even after its effective dissolution, cows were very dear to them. Also cow axe :]

- Prone to annoyance and nervousness in equal measure. An asshole on bad days and tricky bastard on good ones.

Thats mostly it. I am going to be thinking about them for weeks to come <3

Diamond (the fox!) belongs to @twodragonsinatrenchcoat

haruka..................

i hate it here nyx i hate it here so much im actually really mad about it punches floor. violently.

do NOT read hurt no comfort fics at three am!!!! nothing supernatural will happen but you will be VERY sad and not be able to sleep

More than anything I want to go back in time and change how certain things went.

.

First reprimand for shitty customer service <3. Well first one that wasnt just just my boss laughing and saying a local famous person accused me of stealing their wallet [left it on a shelf].

being an asshole for no reason (even "sarcastically") is the most insufferable personality trait change my mind

regarding: ryan george, creator of "pitch meetings", a comedy skit series on screenrant about movies and tv. he plays two characters, a screenwriter and a producer, and the screenwriter pitches the movie to the producer. lately, he's been doing reviews of his oldest pitch meetings, which are several years old at least, up to 10 if i remember right. and in the comments of these reviews, so many people mentioned that he's gained weight that be brought it up in a video. he looked so sad and uncomfortable. it broke my heart.

first of all, there was NO reason to bring that up except to make him feel bad, and being cruel for no reason is the worst trait in a person. this actually goes double for being cruel for no reason but disguising it as "sarcasm" because then they're also making the person feel dumb for being hurt by it.

the only time you should say anything about a youtuber's weight/body is when you have something nice to say, AND they've explicitly invited comments or asked for feedback, AND your comment is on topic.

e.g: "looking huge, man!" on a bodybuilder's competition video. this person's content is about their body, they've invited comments about it, and you're being kind!

also, do you think he doesn't know that he's put on weight? he was 25 in the first video, fresh out of college and single. now he's 32, married, and about to be a dad. do you think he didn't agonize over the differences before posting the video? do you think he wasn't dreading the flood of comments just like yours? do you think he didn't stare at the finished product, where almost every screenshot is a before-and-after, and seriously consider not posting it? i just don't get the motivation behind being mean for no reason. you could literally just not say anything at all if you can't think of something nice. there's just no reason for it
