Never have I been more grateful that time travel exists in the X-Men universe.

#marvel #x-men 97 #spoilers #...don't read my tags XD #most of the spoilers will be down here #i liked the x-men cartoon since i was a kid in the 90s #but i can't lie i mostly watched it for specific characters #if an episode didn't have any of those characters involved the chances of me enjoying it went down significantly #wasn't universal but a pretty darn good bet you know?#they gave me morph back for which i am grateful #and rogue has been my Best Girl TM for decades #but i swear i would be developing a sudden loss of interest after the latest episode if not for the whole #'this sort of thing almost never sticks in comics' and we literally saw cable right before crap hit the fan #now maybe it won't be time travel #maybe there's some other comic book story that could be used here that i'm unfamiliar with #(i know very little in regards to x-men comics - my heart resides with the batfam)#but either way being Old and Jaded is seriously working in my favor right now so i'll take it XD #(the end totally got me though like uuuuuuuuuuugh noooooooooo whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy *cries*)

a thing that irks me about wgxn as lsz's Best Parents Ever and lsz himself calling them his fathers iiiis that aren't... parents and basically ancestors... kinda important in chinese culture? yknow, like *gestures at some of the characters' complicated relationships w/ their parents, their legacy and last wishes*? lsz discovers he's a wen and doesn't immediately go "ah well, doesn't matter, they were Problematic and i feel more like a lan anyway", but rather goes to the nighless city with wn to bury the ashes of their family and build a cenotaph for wq. that means he still wants to honor his ancestry, especially since he's the last surviving member of his clan. would lsz just... conveniently forget about all that -- about his parents, whoever they were, who died in the war -- for lwj? hm

#there was a post or perhaps a thread or maybe even more than one #about how the juniors would SURELY mistakenly refer to their sect leaders as mom/dad and i was like. g #i think kids call teachers 'mom' because they're still young and don't have much contact with adults that aren't parents/their family #members. so when you want to call an adult and your brain malfunctions you either go mom or dad (so: the usual)#but if you're a disciple of a sect you have a Bunch of older people around you each of which has their own name -- sect siblings #teachers etc not to mention other sects' members -- so i feel like it would be much more difficult to make that mistake #especially since i'm not quite sure disciples at that age would see the sect leader a lot unless he's personally teaching them #but ig that doesn't happen very often if he's busy with other things. there are other disciples and elders who can pass their knowledge dow #idk it just seems kinda... western? american? i can't say. to assume an adult who's important has to be a parent/parental figure which is #ALMOST the same as parent really! and can be referred to as 'dad'/'mom'#like. no! not really! a 'teacher' is not just your ms smith who taught you english and always praised your handwriting!#it can very much be the person who pushed you to become the person you are right now because they saw your potential #and without them you wouldn't be where you are. this kinda person you send gifts and cards every year for decades after graduation #because you're this thankful for everything they've done for you.#shrimp thoughts #this is not to say that he doesn't feel grateful for everything lwj's done for him -- he saved his life -- but that still doesn't have to #equate to Being his father. wzl didn't call wrh his father either and look how dedicated he was

I love the fact that I can work as hard as I can manage with a broken tooth and a dying tooth (one on each side, I've been chewing on the cavity for a year) and I still cannot save even $10 towards getting dental treatment (2 impacted wisdom teeth, + tooth broken off under the gum, + bad cavity) because I barely make enough to cover my food and board and the insane energy bill

#I'm just ranting don't mind me it's fine I am continuing to exist as usual I may delete this later bc it's a bit of a bummer to read #I prefer to keep my blogging to fun or otherwise nonserious content because it's supposed to be for decompression no real world drama here #I got into a 3 hour body language study and earned $50 so I spent that as fun money on a couple games during the Steam sale just to #take a break from the constant cycle of getting paid and then immediately saying goodbye to all but about 15 cents #(well it was 1 game Slime Rancher 2 and then 2 expansion packs one for Planet Zoo and another for Cities Skylines long play hours mileage)#I've tried to budget to buy small things like a fan or a toothbrush maybe (mine is 8yrs old and doesn't charge sometimes) but NOPE #let alone stashing away over $2000 for the amount of treatment I need given tooth extractions are $200-$500 each #I use about $50 of groceries a week ($30 USD) sometimes up to $80 if I need to buy some extra toiletries or bonuses like ham/falafel/bread #our last quarterly power bill was $1900 FOR NO REASON even for a winter one #olessan oration #the work I have is HIT/mturk type work which pays amazingly well and I am so grateful because I can't work in a traditional environment due #my inability to sleep/wake on anyone else's schedule and need for engaging work but it also means each worker is basically a contract worke #picking their own hours which is VERY HARD to stick to for me since I may also have ADHD-i but that diagnosis also costs like $2000 in Aus #so I'm doing my best fucking lmao #I have a set minimum hours I want to keep up to and move to full time but I am so exhausted by the constant background noise of #the tooth problems that I burn out very quickly #like the tooth ache isn't that bad #the tooth is actively dying but the pain isn't unbearable it just shits me off at all times #it's bearable most of the time and doesn't affect my sleep unless the temp is cold or something #it's been bad this week tho so I've gone through almost all my ibuprofen managing it #the tooth that broke off broke off earlier in the year and the gum has mostly healed over and the dead root is concealed inside my gums now #that stopped being painful in mid 2021 but when it died it was pretty bad it did stop me sleeping for a couple weeks #Christmas 2021 involved me contemplating ripping the tooth out myself lmao #the nerve eventually died seemingly without an abscess #unless I DID have an abscess but that seems extremely unlikely because abscesses are SEVERE AND HORRIBLE AND LIFE THREATENING #sometimes I can feel the tooth ligament wiggling on its own or I like flex it by accident it's so weird bc the tooth is gone so #the ligament is still holding onto the root but with way less weight #anyway I am eating my mac n cheese n veg with the side that has the missing tooth because the cavity tooth has a big bruise along the gumli #gumline which may be from overzealous brushing (I fill the tooth will temporarily filling putty and it needs to be cleaned well when the #putty falls out)

mentally ill people who for whatever reason end up wearing the same exact clothing so many days in a row that it begins to disintegrate and will still not stop wearing it until it’s literally just scraps of fabric VS. those weird shitty rich people who ‘’can’t be seen in the same outfit twice’’ human dichotomy

#poast brought to you by my pants that are missing an entire leg and completely open in the back and the front almost #to the point they could not really be considered pants anymore (I wear lots of layers so i have shorts under them but lol)#I tore them again sitting down and it made me introspect about when it's time to throw clothes out and how everyone has different standards #and etc. Like how some people will get stains on clothing and just throw it away #.where others will keep wearing stained stuff if they have an attachment to it. etc. etc.#or like One hole in jeans is okay but 20 holes is Crossing A Line - unless they were made that way as a fashion trend #which then made me think about those people who like.. change clothes multiple times a day and never want to rewear stuff #and just have a constant stream of fast fashion etc. Anyway. not a real dichotomy. just being silly. i like to think about humans behaviors #brggghghb.. still not being very productive as I just keep having flare up after flare up of various chronic issues I have so I'm feeling #sick like every few days but always for different reasons. As if something has increased the general inflammation in my entire body #and its just bopping around making different things worse here and there. but I'm not sure of any underlying cause.#theorectially could always be stress since I am often stressed but I don't feel stressed more than usual. I have no infection markers #on blood tests and my covid tests so far have been negative. I guess my body just felt like 'hey happy new year. would you like.. uhm...#some... Problems.. as a treat? OuO''#I mean I'm lucky at this point that I don't have a condition that makes me completely bedridden or something and am grateful for that but #having so many smaller issues in the background overlapping all the time can be ehxausting and make it feel like a larger issue #because you just never get a break. once one problem clears up it's another. etc. modifying diet. supplements. doctors. new issue. new modif #ications. new doctors. new this #new that. etc. For my body to reach some sort of non-inflammed stable state I feel like I'm going to have to just be suspended in a gladd #*glass antigravity chamber for 3 years eating nothing but basic gruel and iv liquids. something so bland and so untriggering of anything #that literally nothing can be inflammed or etc. lol.. Though I'd probably still somehow have joint pain even with nogravity.#ANYWAY... I did finally edit a new sims video. for the few of you that follow my sims youtube. I have costumes totally ready to post I just #literally havent had the energy to queue up the photos. STILL WORKING ON EVIL WORLDBULDING SLIDESHOW task of epic proportions #. other videos. other stuff. I've had to spend some time on social stuff since I really ned to get started finding friends in the potential #places I'd like to move so I know people when I get there. as it takes me like years to trust someone. but hjgh... I am so like. inherently #unrelatable to the average person. at least the avg people on friend making sites and stuff. I even made a perosnal compatibility quiz #but again.. thats something most people don't do lol... ''buhh just text snapchat me & get to know me through conversation why should i take #a 15 minute quiz up front?'' shut up. i woudl LOVE to take a custom compatibility quiz before talking to someone. its efficent. you will nev #er get it. that is a positive to me. if only anyone else did that. if only. (I'm being jokingly rude. its perfectly reaosnable for people to #have different standards and communication styles. etc. etc. lol) ANYWAY.. tldr me sleepy and feel bad no productive wehh

The way I've actually lost -12kg & -10cm from my waist already, and I know I really should stick to my diet because I've already eaten enough calories today. But I'm really craving some coffee so much right now 😫

#personal #diet #tw diet #i was getting a little bit frustrated a while ago #because i ate more and then instantly gained some back #but then today i took the measuring tape again after i hadn't touched it for a month #and i was so pleased to see the results. like how much fat i'd lost from other places too #i mean my back fat is almost gone and i'm grateful for that because i fucking hated it #´my tummy looks a little bit smaller (that's where most of the fat gathers on my body anyway lol. and my boobs)#my arms look smaller and my shoulders look a little more toned too which is awesome #the only thing i'm sad about is that i lost my ass ;((( i have no ass anymore nooo #but otherwise i'm super happy because while these have been a frustrating few months #i've also gained results from it and i'm again one step closer to where i want to be #i just need to stay patient and take it easy (easier said than done)

I had a good day :)

#brunch with my oldest friends. shift that flew by at work. snack platter at work. long walk at dusk.#i feel light. i feel fulfilled #my coworker called me a workaholic today. he asked if i ever take a day off. i usually only have 1. this week i had 2.5 which was nice #i feel like so much of my life has changed this year. much of it not by choice #but I've grown so much because of it.#so much of it has been painful. all of it has been scary. but I'm unequivocally better off now than i was this time last year.#The only thing i had last year that i don't now is you. and i still desperately wish you were here.#but every day I'm moving forward. and i couldn't say that before. every day feels like I'm building towards something.#I used to feel like i was just treading water. waiting for my life to start. it's unfortunate that my changes couldn't happen gradually.#but i am grateful for where i am. I'm grateful to past me for hanging on. i felt at times like i couldnt possibly get thru everything.#but I'm almost past the worst of it. my life has light. i have support in ways i was always afraid to ask for.#I'm afraid to say it. like saying it might jinx it. but I'm happy.#me #personal

i like the way i look probably a somewhat unhealthy amount like i’m kind of obsessed w myself but it’s probably still better than the alternative i suppose! i love being brunette i love having dark brown eyes and thick lashes they’re so striking ...

#i'm literally so pretty and hot though #and probably delusional but the number of kids that had crushes on me when i was like 17 went to my head and never left #it's funny bc my type is just people that look like me #and multiple people have commented how me and my boy look similar #which we don't really - we just both have the same colouring #but its like the best colouring so ? lucky us #alia #(tw body image kinda in next few tags if u dont wanna see - not that i expect anyone to read this !)#also i feel like im almost the only girl im friends w that isnt insecure about her body #and i wasnt as teen either like. im hot deal w it #and yeah thats probably largely bc i do fit convential standards etc #but so do sooo many girls who are still super insecure #i think my mum was just really great at not handing down any of that bs #which i am eternally grateful for

my honest and true review of three hopes

i’ve fallen madly in love with lorenz all over again

#Lorenz #the fact that that was even possible! is a feat! in and of itself!#but this game treated him S P L E N D I D L Y #I almost feel bad that all my biggest faves got top tier treatment in this game with how bad some others got handled #also? ben diskin fucking KILLED IT #im so SO grateful this game stopped treating him like a punching bag meme #bc he was basically that for half of Houses and people hated him bc of preconceptions the game threw at you #when he wasn't even THAT bad in the academy phase but was just handled as an annoying meme #even when he was righteous and good #this game made him absolutely amazing and I'm so happy for my fellow Lorenz lovers #like god i could straight up rant for ages on how awesome he is in Hopes and how much respect he got from the writing #he also feels like he got a lot more actual agency here? maybe the team realized he was a good character #and not worth just being reduced to a side piece meme. like. he's always been so much more than that #and to see what his character could be truly capable of is so nice #AND THE PARALOGUE HE'S IN ugh i love him so much #lorenz absolutely got fucking top tier writing in this game #which like they did rly have a lot of questionable issues with some characters #but lorenz really SLAYED any competition and i am so happyyyy #DCE Comments

today for the first time in 28yrs I realised that caffeine is basically what gets our society going

#I don't drink coffee and I just realized that's because mornings don't exist for me #I had a redbull this morning (which google says is equal to an expresso) and I finished all my work for the day despite being sick #it's almost 4pm and while I want to lay down I'm not sleepy at all #I call this wizardry #also i wanted to add that i'm really grateful for every single plot i have going on and the ppl that took the time to talk to me ooc

I feel like the show expects me to be upset just because spike is suffering.

#op #btvs #buffyverse #after the s2 finale i thought jesus how can it get worse than that #and then it never did. i'm almost halfway into s7 and the s2 finale still seems to be the emotional climax of the show.#which i am mostly grateful for i suppose. i did expect something campy and fun going in.#i doubt i would have finished the show if it kept making me feel that way #but at this point i'm getting bored #honestly i'm not sure what it is #maybe a side effect of binging so fast #but i think probably it's also the writing #i don't know. i can't articulate it. it just feels. one-note maybe. or like. shallow. like the suffering just has no impact.#no shade to the actors. i don't think it's them.#idk. with spike specifically it's like ok yeah he's suffering and? he does that. maybe let him be happy for one second #and then when you take that away it will be upsetting.#but idk maybe i'm not being fair. i am binging very fast.#it's inevitable that some emotional beats won't land because they don't have time to sink in.

We need more stupid fun horror movies like cocaine bear

#I finally got the chance to watch it 😭#sooo many people told me No when I asked to watch it with them #my brother gave a reluctant yes today and I'm glad I watched it with him #we've hung out so much in the last year cause of tcg that it repaired our relationship in almost entirety which I'm grateful for #which means I'm happy to say he's one of my best friends #but also sad for him cause he watched cocaine bear with me and he was flabbergasted while I had a great time

My mother's lowkey forcing me to come back to FFXIV all because I briefly mentioned that I MIGHT want to sometime in the FUTURE

#she always did this every motherfucking time she was the one to pay for the sub too #normally I just grit my teeth and force myself to be grateful because she spends her money but not when I'm at a point of not caring #she has that paranoid frugal mindset she lays on thick of ''we have to do this NOW or else I may not have the money for it EVER''#that's her go-to reasoning EVERY time even when I try to tell her ''hey I wanna take longer off to take a break''#which was literally almost every single time she paid for the thing #it was when I wasn't ready and it just made me burnt out all over again #I just give up and accept it at this point after the first attempt to dissuade her because she ends up getting frustrated if not #like I get you wanna do stuff for me but don't FORCE ME if I end up missing the budget window I can WAIT

Btw, I know I do nothing but whine, moan and complain about my latin class but I've noticed that when we do drill exercises the prof started making sure I don't have to do the hardest sentences and I'm legit very grateful for it tbh

#like she'll change the order so i don't have to do the super difficult ones #probably at least a little bit because i almost cried the other day and she was like 'oh no i'm not dealing with that'#which i fully understand as someone who is not great at dealing with people's emotions #regardless of her reasons i'm very grateful and it actually helps me because i'm less terrified so i can focus better #i'm still struggling a whole lot in latin tbh but i feel like i'm starting to at least remember bits and pieces #could it also be because i'm not smoking atm? not gonna say anything definitive but eh...it's a theory for sure

it was quiet today and whenever it's quiet everyone starts talking about sex, and one of the questions my coworker asked the room was "what's the sexiest thing someone could say to you/has said to you during sex recently" and the whole room was in agreement that slut, whore, bitch was the sexiest and what was said to them most recently/the most

#mine was ''cmon make me proud''#i'm simple i guess #also i like to be egged on when i'm riding 😂#and when i admitted it they didn't agree it was hot until it was ''cmon make me proud slut''#which wasn't what was originally said to me #i've been thinking about that all day #like i get it. i do. i get it because i understand that my own subordination has been sexualized and sold back to me #hearing a room of women Say They Like It without also making the jump from point a to point b is sad #like. the statement went from a loving kind sexy thing said to me to something degrading in 2 seconds with 1 word #and i almost wish the convo didn't happen at all but i'm grateful that i realized how sweet and sexy it was to begin with without the slur #it's also a little corny which makes it even more appealing to me

- gojo satoru x reader

when gojo is found out by his own son during your nighttime activities

genre: 18+ suggestive content—minors do not interact! crack, fluff, dad!gojo

note: based on a fun suggestion by anon! and it’s been sooo long in my drafts🤧 anyways gojo in phantom parade game is so otome-coded, look at his innocent face!—that's how he's going to be while explaining this to his son

a part of gojo's love entries

series masterlist | oneshot masterlist

"Nghh—Satoru... ah!" you mewled, breathless, right after the third time he made you cum on his fingers alone.

Gods, even with one kid already running around, Satoru never stopped acting like he desired you like when you were still newlyweds. The glint in his eyes never dulled—always smirking at you as if you were the prey, as he licked his fingers with a wicked smile.

"Ah, sweets, are you ready to take me in now?" he cooed in your ear. Really, he was at his limit, seeing how he brought pleasure to you as you writhed under him made him this close to becoming undone too.

With your nod of approval, he wasted no time. He gripped your hips, and swiftly slid his thick cock between your folds. As he sank into you—making himself fit, you accidentally let out a loud moan.

“So pretty,” Satoru groaned through clenched teeth, marveling at your scrunched face, feeling how your legs wrapped around his waist in compliance. “Still so tight for me...”

And the way you squeezed your eyes shut right before he started to pound into you made him finally lose it, as he hotly grunted in that raw, almost feral voice—

“All mine.”

With each thrust, you quite literally squealed. Seems like you were sensitive at this time of the month, because your senses were heightened and you couldn't help the nasty moans leaving your lips. The sensation of him repeatedly slamming his hips against you turned you into a crying mess, and had you totally forgetting that your toddler was sleeping just next door.

And when his climax exploded within you with one last powerful thrust, his hot cum spurting hard, stuffing you to the brim and painting your womb white— you clawed at him, tugged him closer to your breasts as a mix of scream and moan of his name escaped your lips, trembling at the depth to which he was burying himself inside you.

You were panting, totally spent, sensing the familiar way of his cum trickling down your thighs. And at that moment, you could have sworn you heard the patter of footsteps nearby. Before you could fully register it, Satoru hastily pulled the blanket to cover you both.

Suddenly, your bedroom's door swung open, revealing your precious boy standing there, visibly sleepy but worried. "Mama?"

You muttered your son's name weakly, disoriented, and it only served to worry him further. His little eyes widened, and he took a step—

"No, no, kiddo!" Satoru urged in a panic. "Stay there! Don't move!"

His son eyed him suspiciously. "What are you doing? Why are you crushing mama?"

"I—" Satoru collected himself, and put on the most innocent smile. "I'm... helping mama to sleep, you see."

You went pale, now that you realized the situation you were in. Your son had just seen you and your husband in the middle of the act. You were silently grateful for Satoru's quick thinking for covering both of you to spare your son from the indecency.

"Helping?" your son gaped in disbelief. "But she was just crying!"

"Yeah, she cried because she couldn't sleep," Satoru blurted, still smiling benevolently like he hadn't nothing wrong. You felt the urge to facepalm at his terrible excuse and the irony of the situation—how close he was to collapsing beside you, and that he hadn't even pulled out of you yet.

Your intelligent boy wasn't easily convinced, that was what you would expect of him.

"How's you hovering over her will help her sleep?"

“With this position, she'll sleep more comfortably, you know,” he asserted confidently, prompting a subtle twitch in your eye. He turned to you, a stupid grin on his face. “And who knows, it might also help to make your sibling. Isn’t it true, dear?”

Satoru nudged your side, willing you to agree with him. You were in utter shock and shot him a dark glare, before looking at your distraught son in a flurry. “Y-yeah… I’m fine, baby. Go back to your room now.”

“You're not hurting, Mama?” the little boy asked you worriedly. Thank heavens he was more focused on you rather than Satoru's little comment.

“No. Your papa is just… trying to help. I’m okay, yeah?”

“If you say so…” your son pouted reluctantly. He shifted his gaze on his father and 'hmph'-ed in accusation. “You’re weird.”

"Hey!" Satoru exclaimed, comically offended. "What are you doing here, anyway? Can't you sleep?"

“I heard noises... and now I want to go to the bathroom…”

Your husband grunted. "Fine, I'll come with you. Just wait a moment and close the door, please?"

Your son threw one last concerned glance at you before shutting the door. Both of you let out collective sighs of relief.

“I swear, he’s such a brat. He used to be so lovable too,” Satoru grumbled under his breath, finally slipping out of you and rolled to your side. He playfully tapped your lower belly and winked. “I hope it’s a daughter next. She will surely be daddy's girl.”

Your body was still shivering as a result of your high earlier, and yet you still managed to side-eye him, hissing, “I'm going to kill you, Gojo Satoru.”

“Wha—”

“Sleep more comfortably? A sibling?”

“Well, can’t we just say that we’re going to give him—”

“Satoru, don’t you put more weird ideas in our son’s head.”

“But—!”

“The moment you do, and if I catch you, I swear to God, I'm banishing you from our bed.”

Epilogue

“Uncle Nanami… does sleeping in certain position will give me a sibling?”

Nanami almost choked on his own words. “What?”

On this rather fine day, he had agreed to help you keep an eye on your child, as both you and Satoru went on separate missions.

He might not be able to stand his senior, but Nanami couldn’t deny that he had a soft spot for the toddler even if he was a carbon copy of his father, as the boy was sweet and overall more like you in nature.

Your son blinked at him curiously. “Papa said not to tell this to mama, but when I asked, he was actually trying to give me a brother or sister to play with when he squished mama on the bed the other day.”

Nanami felt a vein about to burst at the very implication. In hindsight, he shouldn’t be surprised at Gojo Satoru’s unrefined parenting skills but then again, anything that annoying clown did always managed to surprise him one way or another. He let out a long sigh.

“Kid, forget what your father said.”

“Huh? Is that not true then?”

“Report this to your mother, yeah? Ask her too, she will have better answers for you.”
