And since I can't tell whether my brain is rotting or fermenting with Ahsoka, I can't help but think about how she feels strangely at peace after the ending so of course, I have to insert us into the narrative:

Like, you two have been running around the galaxy, following threat after threat, barely even having enough time to spend some quality time together doing nothing. Not worrying, not working, not training. Just meditating or talking, even just hanging out in silence as you soak in each other's presence because both of you know that what's good doesn't last forever.

So you two make the most of it while Ahsoka doesn't neglect Sabine's training and her own, but despite that there's still time left in the day for you two to enjoy a little picnic or lay in the grass while looking at the sky and at the clouds, exchanging your thoughts on what they look like.

You share your thoughts with her as you've always had and she laughs at them, not out of malice but out of sheer happiness and exciment that despite all of her training she can't contain. You, of course, laughed along with her, happy because of her happiness, I mean, when was the last time you saw her laugh this much in such a short time? It almost felt as if everything was better for a second and you two could forget about wathever enemy was waiting around the corner.

You slowly ached your hand toward Ahsoka's, reminiscent of the first time you two held hands, even your nerves were there. This time however, Ahsoka was the one that actually held your hand and you didn't know why exactly, maybe it was the weather or simply your love-drunk mind but the skin of her hands felt softer than normal despite the calluses on it, it's warmth traveled all the way from your hand to your heart, making it beat uncontrollably as you two looked at each other, her eyes held a blue more vibrant than the sky and her smile blinded you just as the sun did, followed by her melodic laughter and a teasing comment. You were too lost in the moment though to answer her, so with a small sight and slight shake of her head Ahsoka moved closer to you in the picnic blanket you had layed over the grass and rested her head against your shoulder, the small patch of skin that she touched was enough to set your nerves ablaze and fill you with what could only be described as pure, unbridled joy.

And since I heard somewhere (no idea whether it's true or not) that togrutas are like cats, I thought to make a NSFW post about Ahsoka x female!reader here, so sorry if it's not good, this is my first time writing lemon

I think that Dr. Christina "I was an excellent soldier" Raynor needs to deal with some personal things before she's anyone's therapist, because she strong-armed more of Bucky's autonomy away from him than Zemo did within the series.

Hello soon-to-be graduating students. Quick PSA in case you have not been informed or maybe need a reminder:

If you use a school-associated Google account (Google Drive, Gmail) to store anything personal (documents, fanfic, etc.), I encourage you to migrate your files to another Google Drive, a hard drive, USB, or some storage device.

Your institution probably has some kind of access and retention policy wherein you will lose access to your school-associated account and therefore your files and email, or your storage will be reduced. Look on your school's website under legal and/or information technology for policies or instructions.

Now, apologies, I'm only familiar with US-based schools, but here are examples of the type of information to look for - these examples are random:

University of Washington - Graduating Students: Preserve your work

UCLA - How am I affected by the Google Workspace Service Adjustment?

University of Michigan - Accounts for People Who Leave U-M

University of Wisconsin - What happens after graduation?

Go through your files and move your stuff before you graduate. Once you're out of the system, it's a toss up as to how long it'll take before access is revoked and drives are purged.

i remember seeing someone call tubbo a fully grown adult at 19 (obvs before he turned 20) and i gotta say. i think maybe some people have a really skewed idea of what constitutes as "fully grown". and also what constitutes as properly mature. thinking that at 18/19 (or hell even at 20/21) people are now fully grown and mature is insane to me like yall thats how you get people thinking their life is over at like 23 and that 30 year olds are senior citizens 😭😭 be fr

starting a former william fan support group bc what the entire fuck was that

I originally planned on doing a quick series with a y/n that would've been Gale Weathers and Dewey's child and had Tara as a love interest sometime in the near future but considering Spyglass/Scream 7 production company both fired Melissa Barrera (Sam Carpenter) for calling for a ceasefire and refused to pay Neve Campbell what she deserved (plus Jenna Ortega dropped out due to schedule conflicts), I won't be doing another series for Scream. I hope nobody's disappointed by this <3

been thinkin about bipolar lately. lots of things, as always, but mostly about how people will far sooner extend grace and understanding and support to depression-spectrum symptoms than mania-spectrum symptoms.

like, with depression, people seem more willing/able to understand that it can cause people to become withdrawn, demotivated, and detached, especially when that is out of character for a person.

but with mania, people seem much less willing/able to understand that it can cause people to become angry, impulsive, and risk-taking, even when that is out of character for a person.

people have always been more forgiving about my depression behaviours than my mania behaviours, even when my mania behaviours were comparatively mild in their effects on the people around me, and the depression behaviours comparatively severe in their effects on the people around me.

it also appears to have little to do with the awareness level of the person experiencing the altered mood state -- i maintain awareness during both depression and mania, and i essentially always have. and when i explain that i know i am depressed but that doesn't make it any easier to manage my symptoms, i am generally met with kindness and understanding. but when i explain that i know i am manic but that doesn't make it any easier to manage my symptoms, i am generally met with vitriol and blame.

anyways. this is getting long. i just find it weird that people generally understand that depression is a thing happening to a person that is separate from who they are, and yet view mania as revealing fundamental truths about who someone is. maybe it comes down to depression being viewed as an illness and mania as a choice or something? im not sure. but i think its a bad and inaccurate belief that can cause a lot of harm, whatever the cause is.

Those posts that are like “Americans don’t know geography and are so stupid and self centered” that are then filled with Americans being like “WELL ACTUALLY ITS BECAUSE THEY DONT TEACH US IN SCHOOL THATS NOT OUR FAULT” make me roll my eyes because like. If you don’t know basic geography because, supposedly, you never ONCE had a class that taught it at all, you should probably get on that. If you can whine on tumblr you can learn where other countries are and a little bit about them

But also as a certified American, I distinctly remember in my freshman year world geography class (a REQUIREMENT class we needed to graduate) there were ppl who dead ass could not even identify the state we actively lived in let alone countries on another continent and also completely avoided actually learning these things so maybe Americans are just fucking stupid and self centered

you can appreciate authors whose work you like even without agreeing with all their politics. you do know that right. you don't need to lie about what their political opinions were to justify liking them it's okay

personal experience time for prosperity, so i've mentioned that one piece is the reason I'm okay with the fact I'm bisexual now, which i thought it was self evident why that was but I'll explain because i feel like it gives perspective on why im so pro-sexualized/the narrative seeing this character as attractive (when appropriate obviously and i think op does a good job of doing that for the most part) for nami/robin (mainly talking about my experience with nami)

so previously ive had issues with never being attracted to female fictional characters, (I've been attracted to real human women very briefly throughout my life. i just dont hang out with a lot of people and the majority of them arent girls) and that was a problem even though i knew I was able to be attracted to girls I didn't feel like i was able to identify with that part of myself, (as a trans man, I've always felt very pushed into wlw spaces which I think isn't good and even though I have alters that identify as women we've never as a whole ever thought we were wlw) the problem was, when youre asked to be attracted to fictional women 99% of that is either objectification or look this character is hot! and then her actual character is nonexistent. which is a problem for me, because in my experience strong attraction comes from both how much i relate to someone and how much I admire them, so if I'm at large completely unable to relate to female characters, it puts me in a really fucking tough spot and i end up never being able to explore attraction like that in a fictional space. you see, you could point out to me that there's wlw characters and experiences that could've helped me? which, I'll point you to the fact I'm a man and secondly, I tried that. but I'm a man and unfortunately while I can appreciate gay girls in fiction i don't connect with them like that.

where this changed for me was a year ago when I watched one piece and then immediately was blasted by girls who were very obviously seen as attractive but were some of the best written female characters i had ever fucking seen since having that crush on that original character,

and there were men in the context of the fiction that were attracted to nami for the exact same reasons I was ??? (sanji/zoro in arlong park) and these men were being defined by having a crush on or being attracted to nami, and she was the one in control (another reason I couldnt connect with m/f couples: i wanted to be held by a girl and taken care of by a girl not the other way around)

and she struggled with mental health like i did so of course i could relate to her! and i was being encouraged by nami herself to see her as attractive so i didn't feel creepy like i did all of the other times (being a man and being attracted to women and inherently feeling creepy was a huge issue for me) and she was seen as a whole person, a whole entire beautiful person. the fact she was so complicated and detailed made her more attractive, and the fact i could connect and relate to her and have loving her mean that I love aspects of myself i couldnt expect?? I just loved her and i was attracted to her and I couldn't control it so it had me let go of my fear without me even realizing it was happening.

i literally havent felt creepy expressing my attraction to women since.

i simply needed to figure out how to be attracted to women- nami- because i was attracted to her so immediately and so intensely that being attracted to her meant i immediately became more articulate about it because i loved her so much it burst out of me.

the fact people saw nami as attractive was both good for me, someone who finds her attractive and struggled with expressing my attraction to women and was only attracted to fictional women who were entire people!, but also allowed me to feel loved myself as a person with mental health issues similar to hers.

basically, TLDR, i think viewing female fictional characters as attractive is fine as long as they're entire people who aren't reduced to their relationship to men, and is really fucking good actually both on the level that people get to see themselves as attractive and that it rightfully sends the message that women are more attractive when they are understood as whole people with lives and flaws (that can exist outside of traditional heterosexuality).

That said we have no morals or standards if we get paid enough for something so if you drop us something like $3 on Ko-fi then we are available to hash out details and we will have a go at just about Literally Anything.

i will shut up abt this i promise but like. the concept of being in a stable safe mutually loving whatever relationship is INSANE . like how can you ever feel bad about yourself or wounded or whatever again. it’s like a superpower or somethi ng. <- doesn’t know what she’s taking abt bc she’s never experienced it or the absence of it after having it merely the negative space of it and is filling in the gaps w logic or something. but it’s INSANE to me. like of course i feel like shit about myself i am catcrumb unloved.jpg!

in the actual cryptid au Peter and Miles sometimes want the other to be closer around during their transformations at the end of the month, but since Peter has the wildly better senses + a strong spider-sense out of the two (Miles is still developing his), it’s up to him to go get Miles and find a nice hiding spot for him that’s close enough for comfort but not too close for Peter to be able to detect him and try hunting him down in that state. It’s usually just by hiding Miles and making sure he’s surrounded on all sides by several things Peter wouldn’t have the patience to remove and would just leave, and to give Miles enough time to escape from a different side if Peter seemingly does have the patience that day.

If a face, as Johann Gottfried Herder says, is nothing more than a Spiegelkammer of the spirit, then we should be a little frightened of Keats's variety of expressions. [...] Keats is unable to contemplate himself. His gift is not knowing how to reconcile himself. The identity of a person who is in the room with him presses in and cancels his own out in a flash. When Keats speaks, he's not sure he's the one talking.
