Not really an ask, but a statement. Yout pfp looks cute af

thank youuuuu its my girl huuki :D

ABSOLUTELY!! WE need more Vee angst with happy ending, we need to see her suffer only to be comforted and cared of afterwards!!! I want to see Arthur being a parental figure for the little critters, he's such a guy bro. We will eat absolutely anything you'll write, it's too delicious to even leave a single crumb of it!!

Also a genuine question: will Arthur or Delilah eventually show up in your au not in a flashback? I'm sorry if it's a spoiler, but I'm just too obsessed and exited right now

Awh thank you so much 'non, I have to agree with you on the needing more hurt to comfort fics - they're my favorite flavor of fan fiction. I feel like Arthur would be definitely someone who'd snuggle his kids and give them kisses when they're hurt, I love this idea so much and I'm happy others do too!

Also thank you so much for the compliments, seriously, I'm going wet beast mode while playing with my comfort human rn, I'm so glad people genuinely love my works this much. I'm so happy I can make so many people happy, I love writing and I love sharing it with people even more ♡♡

HOWEVER that last question is actually a major plot point in the official storyline I'm working on - but I'll say here anyways because it'll be a little bit before we get there *sobbing as I stare at the unfinished first part of the fic*

Anyways yeah Delilah does show up in the official timeline story, and I have some side plot stories (the fics I post here) I'm planning with her in it. Arthur unfortunately... Is no longer with us in the current timeline. He passed of old age, peacefully in his sleep. Not mentioned though, but that's his fate. So yes and no I guess. Yes Del is there, no Arthur isn't. So sad the old one had to be the actually nice one...

i've been cursed with 7 years of bad sex (gender dysphoria)

[beemovieerotica]

idk if i told the full story on here but i signed up for a research study where they were testing a new opioid, and it was supposed to be up to 5 injections increasing the dose to see what people could tolerate

i got the first dose and almost immediately fainted. they had to call in a whole medical team and it was a huge fucking deal

i was kicked out of the study and got a phone call later where they were supposed to tell me what the drug was, so i could avoid it in the future. they told me it was saline water. a placebo. i fainted from the placebo effect.

anyway, it's been a few months and i just got an email from the same department asking me to be a research participant in a new study: testing the effects of open-label placebo.

open label placebo is when the subjects and the researchers all know it's a placebo. they're testing the power of my mind. my power to imagine anything.

i like to think that they chose me for this specifically based on their past experience with me. "get the guy who fainted like a little bitch boy from saline water." anyway i just submitted all my info and i'm looking forward to getting started.

I spent a lot of time handcuffed and in a cage in high school, for a charity bit the grocery store I worked at would do

the bit was that I was "put in jail for having too big a heart" and customers could donate to my bail to get me out (and the money would go to a children's hospital or something)

now. I was very clearly a teenaged employee handcuffed inside a large cage. and I would honestly tell people that I had been in there for hours. and people would say, that's terrible! that's awful! and I would show them my wrists red from the tight handcuffs, and say but I'm sooooooo close to making bail.

and then they would dump some cash in the basket, I'd thank them, and they'd walk away.

and every so often, one of the managers would come by and collect some of the cash, so I could keep being soooooo close to making bail.

I was very good with this bit. Parents with small kids would pay $5-10 if I told their children I had been placed in jail for not cleaning my room/doing my homework, etc. For people in their 20s, I'd threaten that I was very bad at playing the harmonica, but I WOULD play it and we'd all suffer unless they paid me. and for the most amount of money, older men in suits would almost always pay $20s if I avoided eye contact and stammered a lot.

eventually, the managers started to feel bad because I was in the cage so fucking long and often, that I'd need someone to brace me when I got out because I'd have no feeling in my legs. wobbling like a newborn giraffe.

but I would also rake in at LEAST $100 an hour in charity.

so they were like, hey champ. can we, uh, give you a pillow to sit on. in the cage. would you like a pillow so you're not just sitting on a cold metal slab. can we give you a pillow.

and I had to explain to them that if they gave me a pillow, people would think I was more comfortable, so they wouldn't feel as bad, so I'd bring in less money.

the compromise was that they'd bring me a nice coffee every couple hours, which I would have to try to block with my body from the customers.

all this money went to charity. that's what the money was for. it's what was on the sign. but how much they were willing to pay was very contingent on how comfortable I looked, never mind the fact that I was still a teenaged employee handcuffed inside a cage.

and out of the dozens of shifts I did this on, not ONCE did ANYONE say, hey kid I'm going to go talk to your manager because what the fuck is going on here. they would just drop money in the basket, and I'd thank them and sip from my secret drink.

I actually had people get MAD at me that I told them I was far away from bail, they donated like $15, and then 20 minutes I got let out because my shift ended.

again. the money was for charity. it was on the sign that was very clearly placed on the upper half of my cage.

so yeah. even when people think they mean well. people can be really, really fucking stupid.

Whenever my aunt springs her insane superstitious/religious cures on me I specifically remember when I was 17 and she got me exorcised. The priest was like "I don't think she's possessed" and she insisted "well there's something wrong with her, she's always [symptoms of depression] so..."

And the guy said some verses and touched my head and stuff then said I should drink only holy water for an entire week. Which wasn't hard to do, but my fav part of this whole experience was me saying I want to eat instant noodles and my aunt going "I'll make them for you. With the holy water he gave us." And then I had holy instant noodles

a quick psa to anyone recently getting into greek mythology and is a victim of tumblr and/or tiktok misconceptions:

-there is no shame in being introduced to mytholgy from something like percy jackson, epic the musical or anything like that, but keep in mind that actual myths are going to be VERY different from modern retellings

-the myth of medusa you probably know (her being a victim of poseidon and being cursed by athena) isn't 100% accurate to GREEK mythology (look up ovid)

-there is no version of persephone's abduction in which persephone willingly stays with hades, that's a tumblr invention (look up homeric hymn to demeter)

-as much as i would like it, no, cerberus' name does not mean "spot" (probably a misunderstanding from this wikipedia article)

-zeus isn't the only god who does terrible things to women, your fav male god probably has done the same

-on that note, your fav greek hero has probably done some heinous shit as well

-gods are more complicated than simply being "god of [insert thing]", many titles overlap between gods and some may even change depending on where they were worshipped

-also, apollo and artemis being the gods of the sun and the moon isn't 100% accurate, their main aspects as deities originally were music and the hunt

-titans and gods aren't two wholly different concepts, titan is just the word used to decribe the generation of gods before the olympians

-hector isn't the villain some people make him out to be

-hephaestus WAS married to aphrodite. they divorced. yes, divorce was a thing in ancient greece. hephaestus' wife is aglaia

-ancient greek society didn't have the same concepts of sexuality that we have now, it's incorrect to describe virgin goddesses like artemis and athena as lesbians, BUT it's also not wholly accurate to describe them as aromantic/asexual, it's more complex than that

-you can never fully understand certain myths if you don't understand the societal context in which they were told

-myths have lots and lots of retellings, there isn't one singular "canon", but we can try to distinguish between older and newer versions and bewteen greek and roman versions

-most of what you know about sparta is probably incorrect

-reading/waching retellings is not a substitute to reading the original myths, read the iliad! read the odyssey! i know they may seem intimidating, but they're much more entertaining than you may think

greek mythology is so complex and interesting, don't go into it with preconcieved notions! try to be open to learn!

When I was in my teens, I used to make an entire magic system with 360+ unique spells, ordered in magic schools and categories, and it boggles my mind that I basically reinvented DnD mechanics, even down to metamagic.

I wanted to make a wiki about it but I don't have time for it.

The point was to try to encompass every "superpower" I could think of into a magic system.

I even got lore related to it all, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna simply reuse it all for OC worldbuilding. Ngl the fun part was naming all the spells, symbols and coming up with the logic of it all.

the craziest beta 'mon is this guy, who would evolve into a random Pokemon upon evolution

like imagine finding this autism creature fighting for its life out in the wild so you catch it out of pity and two months later it evolves into goddamn Rayquaza

First of all, I love your stuff so much and you're honestly so cool! Secondly, I'm so nervous to ask anything, but this has been on my mind all day! How would Shelly and Vee react if they saw someone who looked almost exactly like Delilah(or however you spell her name)? Would one of them try to comfort the other and keep their emotions suppressed?

Thank you so much!! I'm so glad so many people love my content and think I'm neat!!! ♡

Don't be scared of me though, okay? I never bite, I love talking to people! Y'all are so cool and I love it when people ask me questions about these things, I feel so flattered when people are genuinely curious about my work!!

Anywho; the question! :]

Vee - would honestly immediately go into "protect Shelly at all costs" mode and hiss and bite anyone that goes near her if she sees anyone that even reminds her of Delilah wandering around them. Yes, this includes Shanon, there have been times when Shanon would have to quickly grab Vee and run off with her because if nobody moved Vee away, Vee would most likely commit murder. Anger is what Vee uses to mask any fear, because she's learned that being loud and intimidating will make most people leave her alone when she wants to be, though if this fails her she becomes a soggy mess and is found curled up into a tiny ball and unable to move. She's not as brave as she wants people to think she is... She's actually really cowardly when she's not masking it with anger or focusing on something else instead of what's scaring her, especially when it comes to Delilah, she's especially cowardly then.

Shelly - she tends to pretend she doesn't notice, pretend that nothing is wrong and be strong for Vee. She'd just be doing whatever she was doing before noticing them, and if she wasn't doing anything- she'd find something to do that's not suspicious and attempt to drag Vee in as well to keep her busy too. Though if she can't find anything- it's time to run straight to mama and cry. She always knows where Shanon is- she also knows that Shanon isn't scared of kicking people's butt if they threaten her kids in any way, so she just goes right to mom and tells her what's wrong through a fit of tears and squeaky dinosaur sobs. She's much braver when Shanon's not there, but when mom's around, she's sucking up and being a mama's girl and getting that attention she desires (and deserves) lol

The two would be found cuddling and comforting each other at home, usually snug in a pillow fort, sometimes just plopped on their bed though. Shanon makes them hot cocoa and buys them cookies, then spends the rest of the day with them reassuring them that Delilah won't hurt them anymore.

Now if Shanon wasn't there for some reason, Shelly would just silently signal to Vee that she doesn't feel safe and wants to go home, and would lead Vee home without a word. They know their way back to Shanon's house from mostly anywhere in town, so they always make it home safely.

They don't leave the house for a month after every encounter though, not without them clinging to Shanon the entire time, which thankfully isn't much of an issue with the human as she just wants her toons to thrive, and if being held hostage by them means they'll go out, she'll be their hostage willingly lmao

They're both not really brave at all, but considering everything they've been through... It's most likely they are brave, but so mentally worn out they just can't deal with it anymore, especially right after Shanon takes them in. It doesn't help that Shan spoils the hell out of them... No matter how deserving they are of being spoiled rotten lol

so. my wife came downstairs just as i took a bite out of the remaining half red onion on the counter. literally within seconds of just getting away with it. i looked at her, and she looked at me, and we both sat there a moment, all frozen, before she said babs, what the fuck. i tried to say i can explain but it came out as or corn explorn because such was the onion in my mouth that there was no room for words. its honestly a miracle that she understood me at all. at least, i'm assuming that she understood me because she did let me get my bearings for a few moments. a smarter man would've used that time to think up a good lie, but instead i just chewed as fast as i could because i knew i was gonna have to tell a whopper and i really wanted to be able to use big words again.

big words are instrumental to telling a whopper.

anyway, i totally ran out of time. i barely got my first swallow of onion in before she said well?, and i did at least have an empty mouth to match my empty head. but also i had no lies. so i looked her dead in the face, opened my mouth and waited, every bit as curious as her, to hear what excuse my mouth was gonna come up with.

im pregnant, said my mouth.

great job, mouth, said my brain.

mmmmm onion, said my mouth.

better you than me, said my wife.

then she went upstairs. it has been two hours she still refuses to kiss me. im devastated. im shook. im crying a little, i think.

(but that might just be the onion.)
