#The opposite of not safe for work
Explore tagged Tumblr posts

I think what would be especially funny, would be a future Edwin who is upset he cannot be hornier about his crush on Charles. When Charles reaches for something on a high shelf there is no enticing sliver of skin to look at because Charles tucks his shirts in. There are no abs to ogle. He can't even indulge in a little bit of Victorian ankle gazing because Charles' socks are too long. Our boy is suffering.
#dead boy detectives#dbda#charles rowland#edwin payne#payneland#The opposite of not safe for work#Sure Edwin could get creative with his imagination but also he would very much enjoy having less left to the imagination#Friends suggested that maybe Edwin would try to reveal his own enticing glimpses of skin to get Charles' attention#Downside is this just looks like his relaxing at home outfit#So Charles is just like “Oh yay must be time for board games or movie night!”

Steve Harrington and Eddie Munson are on opposite ends of the social spectrum and are openly hostile towards one another. Except in (auto) shop class.
#can we do anything with that?#I don’t know anything about cars but I do think that#Steve would know a lot about cars but not have a lot of experience working on cars#because he devours anything he can get his hands on but his dad won’t let him do more than change a tire on the BMW#whereas Eddie is the opposite. he’s got a ton of experience under the hood but not necessarily the knowledge#because his focus was always to get his van running. not necessarily safely#eddie munson#steve harrington#add auto in because I remembered wood shop lol

feeling of being watched
#eye strain#cw eye strain#tw eye strain#ralsei#deltarune#i'm in a new era of my art style where i just outline everything in white pencil and think it looks cool#every time i add them i do a victory nod twice at my computer like an old man who just hit par in golf#anyway bright colors hi - i noticed that i tend to default to neutral colors and stay as far away from hues as possible#when i first started digital art i saw someone say to NEVER use the upper right of the HSV picker and i guess i took that to heart#in retrospect that was bad advice; dull colors are safe... but they're still dull and it's good to practice using bright colors too#so here's a hard pivot in the complete opposite direction of my normal work haha#it was fun! but i did have to use a few correction tools to un-muddy my colors so i think i'm gonna do this one more time#you might think the caption is cool and ominous but really i stole it from temmie village#rich history of tem provides plenty of quotable sentences#also! i think i want to reblog my work onto my alt a day after it's posted#i haven't decided for sure but am thinking about it... if you think that'd cause too much clutter though lmk!

Fastest way to give someone space to move past/grow past/develop an opinion that needs one or more of those things is to let them hold it in your presence in personal/emotional safety even if, especially if, you disagree. Like. I understand personal ethical problems with doing so and why people feel they have to refuse, in good conscience, to do so. I really do get it. But there is no faster path forward to changing the human heart than this one. This I believe.
#this is not wisdom preached by today’s culture#but consider this. the opposite does not work#anyway I have learned this in teaching because students are in flux#and I know adults are not as much in flux#but there could be more growth in all areas on all subjects if people felt safer#or to put it this way. people WILL not grow until the conditions are safe to do so#and yeah yeah it’s a fine line. there’s still personal responsibility to think deeply despite conditions#but like. we have to start by being kinder to each other#actually that IS true. actually that has not ever been NOT true#actually charity is the foundation of all things

Me: This fic needs plot.
My brain: Okay, I understand. The fic needs more wallowing.
Me: No. We need to cut back on the wallowing to get to the plot so this doesn't like three more weeks to write.
My brain. Got it, got it. The fic needs Wilson to have free time so he just walks around and contemplates. Nice long chunk of Wilson's depression and trauma.
Me: No. Not at all. It needs less time reflecting on the past.
My brain: Understood. I have the solution. The fic needs...flashbacks.
Me: Okay fuck it. Fine.
#house md#hatecrimes md#fanfiction#fanfic writing#james wilson#seriously how am I not at the SII part yet#SII is always a tool to START the real plot#After her there must be relationship problems and therapy and even more important angst wallowing and then the climax and resolution#And yet. The fic is already over 5000 words#I not only missed my self-imposed deadline I'm going to miss it by a lot#But I am working on it every day so eventually you can expect a shiny new Research fic casting light in Wilson's trauma#The premise is “what if Wilson's 'eating neediness' and compulsive Fix It attempts are an ingrained habit imposed on him from a young age”#Because just because House says Wilson loves it doesn't mean he actually does#He and House are actually really bad at analyzing each other#I don't think Wilson is so attached to House because he needs to care for House (House doesn't even let him care for him that often)#I think it's kind of the opposite. House lets Wilson shrug off his need to be a caring angel and let out his inner bastard#The attachment is based on NOT fixing House or being expected to make him all better#The attachment is Wilson feeling safe enough to act on the impulse to saw House's cane in half without hating himself or being punished#Like they can fight and be juvenile and insult each other and then still love each other#Neither will leave the other upon figuring out who the other Really Is TM

did my first ever used car browsing online and there's a car that's like really good on basically every aspect but the color is fucking NASTY. but ive been evolving a bit around it. and so now im like thinking "okay the bit's funny now but would it be funny in like seven years" kinda stuff
#like imagining my friends laughing (with me) at my car shouldn't factor into the buying process but it's sinking in anyway#we live in an area with really high auto crime rates right#so it being ugly and super visible would actually help with total theft at least. not sure about breaking my windows though#like i would be less likely to get hit at night bc of visibility but it's so nasty and indiscreet#what if i go on a date and they see the nightmare car and are like yk what nevermind#i'm gonna have to make eye contact with my coworkers after parking that there every day#and im gonna try to use it for as long as possible bc that's the goal anyway and also bc i know that shit is NOT reselling for ANYTHING#but its stats are so good i'd feel bad calling it a beater car...#anyway the most interesting choices are that and a really cute car with similarly good stats but#it's low vis and more expensive (but it's newer and diesel etc so like.. idk?)#it's a beetle... i'd love to cause violence via punchbug!!! also a conversation piece and not one that i have to like#put an eyes.train warning for!! yk!!! black beetle was made for me but at what cost#there's also other cars that are normal but those two are so memorable and almost feel like opposites#even though their stats actually overlap a good amount (like their mpg is the same i think)#if i have this car for the next 8+ years (the goal. the dream) then i better like it right#i want it to be durable and safe and cute and cost efficient#technically they're both all those things except the ugly car is ugly. but it IS funny in a way the beetle isnt!!#which is kind of like being cute#im so relieved to have a couple of car guys in my family bc idk shit about cars tbh#and i really thought i wouldn't care about what my car looked like but unfortunately i kind of do is what im realizing#and also i thought i didn't really have a dream car but i kind of do.. and it's a black beetle...#they're so cute to me... and it's small so parallel parking will be easier... and it's not like i'd drive many people around....#but its storage is bad and it's a convertible and idc about that but im probably paying more bc of it since other ppl care#ugh idk...#anyway#i mean. it would be nice to like my car... esp if i plan on using it for so long.... and a car that i won't get sick of....#but the beetle might not work well for transporting junk if i get into sculpture like i keep threatening to#and i feel like it might do badly in a wreck bc it's so tiny#ah idk...#update gonna have to say no to the beetle apparently that year's extra unreliable and they're already not the best cars

I’ll never understand how a man I’ve begged to leave can pretend like I’m holding him hostage. I do, regrettably, need his support, and yet I’ve actively begged him to go over and over and over again, because I’d rather be homeless then live with this threat hanging over my head, and still, he doesn’t leave, and he pretends like he’s some god-tier husband and father, and I’m the nagging, helpless bitch of a wife who won’t put out, doesn’t appreciate his efforts, never lets him have a moment of peace, and is actively keeping him here against his will, killing him with some misery I’ve forced upon him, as if he’d allow me that kind of power.
#Dude went from offering me a burger on the way home#to texting me to leave him the fuck alone because I won’t fuck him and he has a shitty fucking life because of me#in the span of an hour where we did not speak in between like#he asked if I wanted a burger and I said drive safe and then suddenly I’m running his life I cannot make this shit up#I’m like boy you can leave ?! No one is keeping you here ?! Quite the opposite.#you skip work to go to parties you drink from morning to night you spend more than you make you go out every night you ignore your kid to#sit on your phone#you won’t even hold your baby for 5 minutes so I can pee like#and you’re mean as fuck to me every day#you get all the free time in the world you do what you want when you want and the only responsibility you have is financial and you can’tt#even keep up with that#I’m miserable and lonely and so fucking sad as angrier than I’ve ever been and I’m trying to keep it together#For my kids#but somehow I have the time and energy to ruin your life like grow up#my fault for enduring it and enabling it I know I’m not pretending to be blameless here but Jesus Christ#you’re not a prisoner and you can go be happy and no one will stop you so please#Let me be miserable in peace#I’ve given up my freedom and my control and myhobbies and my free time and my personal space and my potential for friends#I have nothing else to give you#Just go

Baron's Haven pt.1
Mina Novak's Room





Felicia Aguilar's Room




#couple of environment shots while I look for Demetria's VA claim#Let's see how the Haven is when the ladies are out for the night#wanted a contrast between both rooms; Mina's is warm‚ homey‚ and has clear separation from her sleeping area & desk#she's filled her room with plants from the greenhouse and is using them to build terrariums#she has ignored college work on her desk#her bed is messy but clearly lived in and enjoyed‚ with random shit packed away underneath(probably as an old DS stored in there).#Her walls are painted and decorated with photos‚ but it looks like she's updating it regularly‚ so everything is held up by tape.#you can tell the room had a lot of effort put in to create an environment that felt safe for Mina#And on the opposite side of the coin‚ you have Felicia's room. Dark and moody with an unfinished industrial edge.#There's no separation from the busyness of the room; everything has to be near her head‚ nothing out of sight‚ It's safer that way.#Her bed looks hardly lived in‚ saved for a stray blanket; like the bed she acquired for herself isn't really for her subconsciously.#And can't bear the thought of ruining it with her body‚ thus sleeps around the decorative pillows#there's a lack of personal novelties besides various CDs n' records that pair with the sound system in the room#vices from life that she can no longer indulge litter the walls‚ cigarettes pile up on the nightstand;#And there's artbooks that younger her could've only dreamed of owning#on the right nightstand‚ there's two terrariums from Mina. The only other life in the room besides the fishtank;#i'm rambling#vtm ocs#I honestly find the idea of Mina finding the loft Felicia bought without much thought scary as a kid‚ and Felicia doing everything possible#to circumvent that feeling‚ quite funny#Felicia: I've lived in various slum houses and pack dens for ages‚ I can deal with industrial grit#Mina: I'm scared#*Felicia immediately finds herself in a Home Depot looking at paint swatches for an 8-year-old*#It's also funnier when you realize Mina's aesthetics go against Felicia's and makes the Toreador's Bane act up.#I'm rambling even more now

My exit on the way to work today...
#mytext#i saw an article about the fire and it mentioned my freeway exit by name and i was like. uh. is it safe to go to work#our admin sent out an email at 130am like 'we are aware of the fire. the campus is not in imminent danger'#me: 🤔 are you? are you really aware? are you aware it is visible from the parking lot#the wind was in the opposite direction but the evacuation zone stopped literally right before our campus#and apparently we're all going in to work today at full operational capacity#wtf. very bold of them to do that when the wind could shift at any moment

I've been ruminating on a Disc Horse since some time last night, and I am rewarding myself with a piece of carrot cake for keeping out of it and just reading some books.
But...just checking in...do we all know what oppositional reading is? Where a consumer of a piece of art can come to a different conclusion about the meaning of that art than what the author intended? A different interpretation than what is commonly accepted as "right"? And that doesn't make the oppositional reader wrong, and in fact is totally fine and normal?
We all know this, yes?
It is very important to me that we know this.
#BIG GIANT SCREAMING CAVEAT that oppositional reading is for RECEPTION OF ART#NOT FOR FACTS#wincest was not intended by the creators of spn but is an oppositional reading of the text#climate denial is not an oppositional reading#reading Jane Eyre as a horror tragedy is (kind of?) an oppositional reading#saying Jews and/or queer people were perfectly safe in 1930s Europe is not a defensible argument#and is NOT an oppositional reading#no one asked you ms p#save me stuart hall#I'm going to lose my fucking mind#no but seriously thiis is really important to me that we can understand this concept#because I feel like I'm winding up to kick a hornets' nest with the paper I'm working on right now and it doesn't need to be like that#I shouldn't be hoping only aarp members come to my panel if my paper is accepted because I don't want the qa to be a dogpile

I think later in life mike gets a lot of pity cast onto him from others when he says he doesn't work and is a home maker.
well. some people aren't nice cuz people tend to hate others who don't work, but I think others tend to pity him because he's a man and should be out working and it's just so sad that he stays at home all day cooking and cleaning. and for quite a few years mike was depressed over the life he lead, but eventually started viewing it in a different way and makes peace with it. he likes that he can have his friends come home to a clean home and dinner on the table. he really ends up in the life he said he'd never have when he was younger, and he's okay with it.
although he probably does get lonely throughout the day. with peter and davy working at the school and micky back as a mechanic, he has whole days by himself and it's not the way it used to be and it makes him sad sometimes, but he tries to keep his head up and know that it's for the better of all of them and it's much more steady income now that they're getting older
#the monkees#m&m headcanon#as we go along#80s home maker mike...fhink about it#thw guys didnt impose that role onto him by any means btw. its just what comes to him naturally#theyre aware that he can't always get things done as his health often isn't great and his arthritis puts him in a world of pain somedays#but he grew up always doing heavy chores cuz both of his parents worked and its good for him to have something to keep him active#although others try to frame his life as depressing and dead end. comparing him to a sad house wife but its really tye opposite#hes much happier in his later years and his glad for a stable peaceful and most importantly Safe home life

living with a roommate really is just realizing we were raised in very different ways that fucked us up equally but in opposite ways huh
#sighs. we are working through it but we react to things and each other in COMPLETELY opposite ways because of how we were raised#and how we came to see our own value and how to keep ourselves safe#we are also learning our adhd presents in slightly different and often opposing ways#and the autism that i have and she doesnt is. autisming 👍#everything got worked out though and we have some good communication strategies in place for the future#but . this shit is not fun.

#they threw ONE (1) party while we lived there and i couldn't go bc i had to work lmao#safe to say it was the opposite of a party mansion#idk why i was thinking about this lol the timing was just so perfect#we had JUST moved to the city and went out drinking ONE TIME#i also had just started working at a grocery store which was super fun#no quarantine for me!!!#gabby.txt
