A business that doesn’t track behavior will be surprised when it collapses. TDZ Pro pays attention.

I still would let you kill me if it got you off daddy. Your cum is so much more important than my air or my life or keeping my tummy flat 💗💗

That’s why she’s my favorite. 

Other girls cunts that want my attention so often focus on what I’m going to do to - and for - them. Training them, edging them, denying them, spending hours and hours and thousands of words to turn them from nervous girls into drippy dummies, begging me to put them into subspace or to break them - but not her.

My favorite just wants me to cum. 

She wants me to make me feel good, regardless of if that means she’s limping the next day - or crawling, or immobile, or bruised, or bred.  She knows what gives her purpose, and wants to exist just for me - and that’s why she’s my favorite, my darling doll.

in OTHER news I just started watching ATLA for the first time ever. I have somehow managed to avoid most spoilers for the better part of (checks google) 20 years. such that I thought a pair of siblings were a couple this whole time. so this is gonna be fun !!

[cobra-creampuff]

thing is with the remaining whumptobers is that i either have to rewatch ofmd s02e01-03 or i have to rewatch [indeterminate amount of] TL, so either way i have to rewatch something and that makes it all seem like more work than any of it actually is which makes me not want to do it. :/

It's raining in LA -- a drizzle, by my East Coast standards. A drizzle when we were promised a deluge, those fucking liars!

I complained to my husband, who told me the worst was yet to come.

"It's a tropical storm the size of Arizona," he reassured me.

Long pause.

"You don't know how big Arizona is, do you?"

"Big?" I guessed.

"Ha! No, it's actually super tiny."

"I don't believe you! Arizona is big!"

"It's smaller than Rhode Island."

"No! Rhode Island is the smallest state!"

"Second smallest."

"Really?"

"After Arizona."

I threw my hands up and left him to cackle to himself.

He just texted me this CLEARLY DOCTORED picture:

Growing up, my brother and I deeply dreaded going shoe shopping. It took hours, especially if it was for winter boots. My dad would examine the stitching, the brand reliability, the temperature recommendations, every piece of information he could get his hands on, and then when he'd finally found the right brand, it was on to making absolutely dead sure they fit properly - he had a particular way of poking the toe of the boot to ensure our foot was where it was supposed to be that always drove me nuts. This was always on a weekend, and it was about the worst punishment we could imagine.

Years later, I found out that he'd spent his entire childhood on the Canadian prairies with cold feet. My grandmother just bought whatever boots looked like the best value, regardless of whether they'd keep anyone warm. They'd kept him from frostbite, probably, but never, ever comfortable.

The reason my grandmother never had a thought about this was because she was buying her kids real boots. There was a sort of magical quality about real, purpose-made boots that meant that of course they'd work, because when she was growing up on the Canadian prairies, they had the kind of no money that meant you just stuffed some newspaper into your shoes and soldiered on.

The last pair of winter boots my dad bought for me was 15 years ago, in preparation for a three-month stint living in northern Quebec in midwinter. They cost $200 then, or something like it. I've worn them every year since, driving out to the remotest locations on the Canadian prairies and never once thinking about my feet.

When I read the Vimes Boots Theory for the first time, it rang a bell that reverberated back three generations.

I should send loa 1962 memes to my cousin but not ones that are obvious loa 1962. see if I can convince them to watch it by saying the memes are from a doomed yaoi

Never get your hopes up for anything. Never get even close to cautious optimism or in the ballpark of considering to get your hopes up for something. It will always, always make things worse when the inevitable rejection or failure comes.

There will always be somebody better. You will never be anyone's first choice. Why do you even keep trying anymore? It's sort of pointless, you know how this goes, silence and then rejection (even if it's done in the best way possible).

Just accept you're going to be stuck where you are forever. Settle. It sucks, but whatever, right?

there should probably at minimum be a moratorium, in the form of at least the sort of mockery earned by Dudes Being Wrong About Female Anatomy, on thin people who have always been thin saying a peep about weight loss, especially ease thereof

Wow, really, Tony Stans like @kahuna-burger love to ignore and twist well known facts in order to try to excuse Tony's homicidal impulses. Why am I not surprised… I'll add my two cents to disprove this preposterous lie.

That he had carried out dozens of missions for Hydra that would have required the ability to plan and adapt over the years.

TOTALLY OUT OF CONTEXT. All the orders HYDRA forced Bucky's body to fulfill under mind control (yes, Bucky's body, because HYDRA literally fried his brain over and over again until there was nothing left of what made him himself) were simple missions, assassinations and only one confirmed extraction mission, tasks that did NOT require complex reasoning, such as infiltration, espionage, ect, as Clint did under Loki's control, serving as an advisor to him to accomplish his plans. And btw that has NEVER been proof to say that Clint was in control of his actions. And literally Tony NEVER held him accountable for that.

It's literally canon that Bucky has irreparable brain damage due to decades of ETC, and that's why the missions he was assigned were relatively simple and did NOT require any kind of deep thinking.

The Winter Soldier couldn't even reason out Pierce's sarcastic question about whether he wanted milk, much less is he going to be able to plan military strategies that require complex reasoning, like Clint did for Loki.

That he apparently had the ability NOT to follow orders if it was important enough to him.

FALSE. That as the Winter Soldier, Bucky did NOT have the remotest control over his actions is an undeniable fact that Tony and literally everyone knew. That has been made clear in a plethora of canon books.

Literally the only time the Winter Soldier didn't follow an order was when thanks to Steve, he retrieved a small fragment of his memories which gave him back his autonomy for the first time in 70 years. For it is only an outside emotional stimulus from his past life that could help him to bring a glimpse of his memories to the surface, that is, a part of himself as a person to the surface and as a consequence he could regain his agency. And literally the only outside stimulus from his past life he had left was Steve, so before him, Bucky had no outside help of any kind that could stimulate the recovery of his memories and thus regain his autonomy, redundancy notwithstanding.

That he used lethal force on law enforcement and random civilians in defense of his own freedom before Zemo showed up.

FALSE. you mean the tactical team who were committing a crime by following the order to shoot on sight, which is literally illegal as it is a direct violation of human rights, and who were also negligent in skipping the rule of using a verbal warning for Bucky to surrender to authority before they used lethal force? It is the tactical team who were negligently using deadly force. Bucky only acted in self-defense with non-lethal force. And it's non-lethal because there was literally not a single casualty of the agents who were sent to mercilessly kill him. Literally the Marvel site confirms that Bucky kept his promise not to kill anyone.

Getting hit by a brick could prove deadly in real life, but this is fiction, and if the plot says that a normal person can survive a nuclear blast, then they does. So NO, Bucky did not use lethal force, otherwise there would have been confirmed casualties and this is literally NOT the case.

That when they met in Siberia he was holding a gun on Tony right up until he decided that a known superhero wasn't gonna like, hold him legally responsible for his actions or anything crazy like that.

FALSE AND LACKING CONTEXT. Bucky raised his gun as well as Steve the shield thinking they were going to face Zemo and the other Winter Soldiers. They stood guard after Tony came in, for as @legalandnotease said, the last Bucky heard from Tony is that he wanted to arrest them and most likely allow T'Challa to kill him. Bucky doesn't know and hasn't worked with Tony enough to know if he's trustworthy or not, so of course he's only going to go by Steve's opinion as to whether Tony is on their side or not.

And by the way, despite having his gun raised, Bucky was NOT pointing it at Tony's head, in fact, he was pointing it a considerable distance above his head. It is enough to draw a straight line from the barrel to know where it is pointing.

Bucky is in effect, a victim of mind control, having his identity, his memory, his agency and his literal ability to control his actions, and always acting against his will. This is literally what we have seen since CA:TWS on. And literally the production confirmed it in several of their canonical books more than once.

This is NOT woobification, it is defending from disgusting victim-blaming a victim who was stripped of his agency for 70 years and who unlike any other victim of mind control, is the only one who has been held accountable for what this situation.

To woobify is to try to excuse the homicidal impulses of someone who knows perfectly well that under mind control, no one is responsible for his actions. Tony committed attempted murder. He literally committed a crime for which he should have faced charges. He acted out of vengeance and malice to want to hurt Steve by hurting Bucky. And no matter from what moral or legal perspective you want to view this low and less than honorable act, there is NO justification for it.

I always see Anti-Team Cap and Pro-Tony discuss how Tony attacking Bucky and Steve was justified and made sense, and yes, I totally agree with them, and regardless of the fact that Tony attacked Steve first because Steve was the one who lied and betrayed him, there is one thing that I haven’t seen be discussed much.

And it’s this scene right here:

Look at Tony’s face. Look at the shock and fear.

Bucky had no way of knowing that Tony could have protected himself, and he aimed right at Tony’s head. Look at the proximity of the weapon to Tony’s face. He could’ve blown his mind clear off if Tony wasn’t fast enough.

Tony had absolutely no way of knowing that Bucky “had changed” when literally just what? Days? Hours? Moments? ago, he could’ve died at Bucky’s hands.

That’s all I have to say.

Is wishing I was born in an earlier time period so that I'd be at the end of my life already by now (or perhaps already dead) a weird new form of suicidal ideation?

"you are bound by unforgiveness. If you were not, you would be interceding for your brother to be set free and come fully to the cross of Jesus"

because I said I wanted nothing to do with that man even remotely on the peripheral of my life and that I could not have her in it with him, especially with her actively hiding, once more, what is done when it comes to him
