Never underestimate the healing power of a good meal!
(For @nibbelraz!)
#Poorly drawn svsss#svsss#mobei jun#shang qinghua#Noodle soup really is the most healing meal when you are sick.#SQH probably lived off instant ramen and misses it dearly. Hamster man needs his salt lick.#A pack of instant ramen would kill someone from the era SVSSS bases its world off of. He'd still do it.#MBJ's cooking is probably not very seasoned either. I imagine he's not the type to use more ingredients than necessary.#Love is a powerful seasoning though. A meal with people you care about tastes so much better than a meal alone.#Moshang lovers; this one is for you. I hope you are well fed this week on both substance and love.#Next time I draw them I will remember to shrink down SQH back to his handheld size.#Let's go with 'MBJ used..demon magic to be smaller.' That's fitting for the setting right? Demon magic can fill any (plot) hole.#Thank you again for being lovely to work with and for your participation in the raffle!

Danyal- or well, Daniel now he supposes, seeing as none of these “kind” strangers can pronounce his name right. Has found himself a golden opportunity to hopefully get back to where he actually belongs.
His current predicament was anything but what he could have ever imagined happening to him. He remembers an attack, an assassination attempt on him and his twin. He remembers taking a hit meant for Dami, he remembers the electricity coursing through his body from the weapon the assassin used and so graciously left in his abdomen, meant to make his body seize which would make attempts to keep him from dying just a little bit harder, and his death just that little bit more painful.
After that he vaguely remembers falling, and then burning green.
Next thing he knows he’s in a foreign place with foreign people trying to “help”.
Wherever he is he’s certainly not anywhere near Nanda Parbat.
But he’ll get back, and the easiest way to do so is to secure transportation and funding.
Which shouldn’t be hard as soon as he’s “convinced” this random rich guy to adopt him.
—✧・゚: *✧・゚:*---*:・゚✧*:・゚✧—
Oliver is starting to regret the brilliant PR idea of sponsoring and supporting the new improved Star City foster care system.
In and of itself that’s of course a very good thing, and absolutely something he cares about and is happy to spend his money on, but these things should just be a given, just a thing that’s done because it’s the right thing to do.
Can’t just do that of course… we have to make a huge spectacle about it, showcase some poor but very adorable kids in need of a loving family. make a big party about it.
Oliver is vaguely reminded of pet adoption days that some animal shelters do. Also a good thing he’s in full support of, but that’s animals, and these are actual children.
The thought is making it rather hard to keep a pleasant smile on his face. Thankfully he’s very effectively being distracted by the little guy who somehow managed to attach himself to his leg and refuses to let go.
Oliver looks down.
The boy with the biggest most blue eyes looks up.
There are cameras and reporters and Oliver can feel the bad decision creeping up and the voice in the back of his head screaming, “don’t do it. DON’T DO IT”
Oliver lifts the boy up, “hey there little man, what is your name?”
He gets a big smile in return and the bad decision suddenly doesn’t seem so bad anymore, weird.
—✧・゚: *✧・゚:*---*:・゚✧*:・゚✧—
Roy had been talking, or well, it was more like venting to Dinah about something Oliver had done, or said, maybe both, probably both… When they heard the front door open and was quickly followed by a “Dinah I have a surprise but first you have to promise you won’t get mad”
Which… bad sign, very bad sign, terrible sign.
“Oliver what have you done”
The man walks into the room and proudly shows off his latest impulsive decision, “Congratulations, it’s a boy!”
…That’s a whole ass kid.
“Oliver Jonas Queen! you did not!”
But he did and that choice changes everything.
#Danny actually already is a halfa cause of the electricity that killed him and the pit healed him and then spat him out near Star City#So no Fentons here But Danny gets a red head older sibling anyway#Roy thought he'd be more upset with a sudden new ''sibling'' but he's actually kind of okay with it#probably cause Danny is very young#Dinah doesn't know what to do with this idiot of a man#Things are going to get really complicated later down the line#cause you know... Batman#dpxdc#dcxdp#danny phantom#danny fenton#dp x dc#dc x dp#dp x dc crossover#green arrow#oliver queen#dcxdp fic idea

hey. hey... chat,
i think we need to discuss an incredibly plausible probability right now:
we've figured out how the life system works. if a red or yellow kills a player of a higher colour than them, then they get their life.
pearl “has died at least 1 time per session so far” pearlescentmoon is on her yellow life. she has two lives left.
scott "always sacrificing himself for his allies" smajor is on six.
the likelihood of scott killing himself for pearl again is statistically high.
and i think it will be a beautiful parallel. because this time she really will forgive him after all.
#wild life spoilers#wild life smp#life series spoilers#life series#trafficblr#traffic smp#wlsmp#wild life smp spoilers#traffic life#traffic series#life smp#wild life pearl#wild life scott#pearlescentmoon#scott smajor#//#do you guys REALLY think that scott#“only ever died to his allies' hands in secret life"#“constantly giving other people his time in limited life”#“'you deserve this more' in double life”#dangthatsalongmiddlename smajor1995#WON'T give pearl a life the SECOND she needs one?#ESPECIALLY after last life? where when he needed it she gave him two?#ESPECIALLY when he has a HISTORY of killing himself to help his allies live?#pearl's going to watch scott kill himself for her again.#but it’s going to be different this time.#this time it won’t hurt. it will heal.#this time she will thank instead of forgive. because she’s already forgiven.

healing sex with woozi? when he's been feeling down and you just had a bad day too, both of you finding comfort and pleasure in each other's arms? 🥺 pretty please, and thank you!!
healing sex with woozi
WARNINGS: workaholicsm, burnouts, penetrative sex, smut, fingering, clit stimulation, dirty talk, sensitiviness.
the sound of the shower filled th bathroom, water cascading down your back, warm and comforting like a hug. your forehead rested against the cool tiles, and your eyes were shut, the world beyond the steam and the spray fading into white noise. the soap had been rinsed off long ago, but you didn’t care. this was the only peace you’d had all day, and you weren’t ready to leave it behind.
until you heard his voice behind you, soft laced with that quiet kind of love only woozi carried.
“dry yourself and come to bed,” he said gently, his words cutting through the fog.
you turned your head, not startled in the slightest. there he was, already pulling his shirt over his head, his hair falling into his eyes, damp from the humidity of the bathroom.
“you’ll catch a cold if you stay in there too long,” he added, his tone light, but the corners of his mouth hinted at exhaustion.
“just a minute,” you mumbled, stealing a quick kiss as you passed by him. his lips lingered against yours for half a second longer, like he was holding onto the brief connection for dear life. you grabbed your towel and started drying off, catching glimpses of him through the mirror as he stepped under the spray of the shower. the way his shoulders slumped, the way his movements were sluggish—it was all too familiar. it mirrored your own.
he was tired. not just tired—drained.
you’d noticed it the past few nights, the way his side of the bed was cold long after you’d fallen asleep. the faint glow of his computer screen leaking under the door when you got up to use the bathroom.
you wrapped the towel around yourself half-heartedly and stumbled to the bed, not even bothering with proper clothes. you were spent, and all you wanted was the solace of soft sheets and woozi’s arms around you. when he joined you a few minutes later, his hair was damp and messy, a towel draped over his shoulders. he sat on the edge of the bed, his back to you, his voice quiet.
“how was your day?”
you buried your face in the pillow, groaning softly. “can we… not talk about it?”
he turned his head slightly, and you could see the understanding in his profile, the way his lips pressed into a thin line as he nodded.
“yeah,” he murmured. “same. today wasn’t one of my best either. didn’t work here—had to go into the office.”
you reached out, your hand finding his wrist, pulling him down beside you.
he laid down willingly, his body curling around yours as you turned to face him. the silence stretched between you, but it wasn’t uncomfortable.
“come here,” you whispered, wrapping your arms around him, your fingers brushing through his damp hair.
“you’re still wet,” you teased lightly, earning a soft huff of laughter from him.
“you’re not even dressed,” he shot back, his voice warmer now, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
you both chuckled, the sound melting into the stillness of the room. you rolled your eyes, dragging the blanket up a little higher over your shoulders. “and? you act like that’s new.”
he snorted, shaking his head as his hand started tracing lazy circles on your hip. “you’re such a brat sometimes, you know that?”
“mm, yeah, but you love me for it,” you quipped back, smirking.
he leaned down, his nose brushing against yours as his lips ghosted over your mouth. “you’re lucky i do.”
the kiss was slow, like the both of you were too drained to pour more into it. but then you sighed softly into his mouth, and it was like something broke loose in him. his hand tightened on your waist, pulling you flush against him as the kiss deepened, his tongue tracing the seam of your lips.
“jihoon…” you mumbled against him, your voice muffled, but he didn’t stop. his lips moved down your jaw, brushing over your neck, planting kisses that sent little shocks through your tired body.
“shh,” he murmured, his voice low, and it felt like honey dripping over your skin. “let me take care of you.”
“you’re the one who’s exhausted,” you whispered, but it came out weak, breathy, and not at all convincing as his teeth grazed that one spot on your neck. your hips shifted instinctively, pressing against him.
“i know,” he said, chuckling softly. “guess we’ll just take care of each other.”
before you could say anything else, his hand slid down, pushing the blanket aside. his fingers skimmed over your thigh, warm and teasing, before they dipped between your legs.
you gasped softly, your body arching as his thumb rubbed over your clit. “jihoon—”
he kissed you again, cutting you off. “don’t think too hard,” he murmured against your lips. “just feel.”
his fingers slid inside you, and you almost jolted at how good it felt after all that time without sex. he curled them just right, his thumb never leaving that spot, and it was enough to make your head spin.
your hands clutched at his shoulders, your moans swallowed up by his mouth as he kept kissing you. your hips started moving on their own, riding his fingers as he worked you open, his pace unrelenting despite how tired he had to be.
“so fucking good for me,” he whispered, his voice rough in a way that made your stomach tighten.
“hoo—hoon,” you stuttered, barely able to get his name out as he hit that spot inside you, over and over.
“yeah?” he teased, his lips brushing over your jaw as his fingers sped up just slightly. “tell me.”
“feel so good,” you managed to whimper, your thighs trembling as you clung to him. “so, so good—”
he smirked, his lips quirking up as he pressed a kiss to your temple. “knew you’d say that.”
you barely heard him, too lost in the feeling, but then he was pulling his hand away, and you almost whined at the loss.
“hey—”
“relax,” he said, chuckling softly. “you’re gonna get all of me, baby. just… hold on.”
you watched, breathless, as he stripped off the rest of his clothes. when he finally pressed himself against you, the weight of him settling over you, you couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
“you good?” he asked softly, his hand cupping your cheek as he looked down at you.
you nodded, wrapping your legs around his waist, pulling him closer.
he pushed inside you slowly, inch by inch, his forehead dropping to yours as he let out a shaky breath.
“fuck,” he muttered, his voice strained. “you feel—god, im so sensitive baby.”
your nails dragged softly along his shoulders, down his back, and he shuddered at the contact, his breath catching against your cheek. his hips stuttered, a barely-there falter in his rhythm, and you knew—you both knew—how sensitive you were. it had been weeks since you had each other like this, and the pent-up tension was spilling over in every breathless gasp, every desperate thrust.
“fuck, jihoon,” you moaned, your voice breathy, a little cracked, like you were trying to hold it together and failing. “i missed this so much. missed you so much.”
he groaned low in his throat, his forehead pressing harder against yours as his hips moved faster, grinding deeper into you. “missed you too,” he murmured. “fuck—you feel so good. better than i even remembered.”
you gasped at his words, a shudder running down your backbone as his hand slid between your bodies, his fingers finding your clit, you could barely stop the way your hips bucked against him.
“you can’t say shit like that,” you whined, your voice catching as he hit that one spot inside you that had your eyes rolling back. “not when i’m already this close—”
“yeah?” he cut you off, his lips quirking up in a tired but wicked smirk. his fingers sped up, matching the rhythm of his thrusts as his lips brushed against your ear. “gonna cum for me already, baby? can’t even hold it in, huh?”
you whimpered, your thighs trembling as your hands clutched at his back. “don’t act like you’re not close too,” you shot back, but your voice was a mess, broken and breathless, and you both knew he had the upper hand.
“maybe i am,” he admitted. “but i’ll hold out if you do.”
“asshole..” you gasped, but the word dissolved into a moan as he snapped his hips harder, deeper, his fingers dragging just right against your clit.
he chuckled, the sound rasping out against your skin as his mouth found your neck, sucking at the sensitive spot just below your ear. “that’s not what you were calling me earlier,” he teased, his voice husky, dark, and so fucking sexy you couldn’t help the way your walls clenched around him.
“god, jihoon,” you cried, your hands flying to his hair, tugging lightly, and the groan he let out vibrated against your skin. “you’re so good—fuck, so fucking good.”
“yeah?” he breathed, his voice a little more ragged now. his thrusts were getting sloppy, his rhythm faltering as he chased his own release. “you’re perfect, baby. so tight—fuck, squeezing me so good.”
his words, the rasp in his voice, the way his breath hitched—it all sent you spiraling, the tension in your body snapping as your orgasm crashed over you.
you cried out his name, your whole body trembling as waves of pleasure coursed through you, and he groaned loudly, burying himself as deep as he could, his hand tightening on your hip.
“fuck—baby, i’m—” his words broke off into a moan as he followed you over the edge, his hips jerking against yours as he spilled inside you.
you both stayed there for a moment, catching your breath, your bodies still pressed together, trembling from the aftershocks.
“holy shit,” you muttered, your voice hoarse as you let out a weak laugh.
jihoon chuckled softly about how you said it, his head dropping to rest against your chest as he pressed a lazy kiss to your skin.

Curly getting prosthetics, Anya getting an abortion, Swansea killing Jimmy, Daisuke never getting onto the Tulpar, et cetera
But what if the real fix-it could have been better workplace ethics, so that none of this shit would have happen?

if what nesta said to feyre during the time in the cabin constitutes verbal abuse then the events of acosf mean that all of the inner circle are verbal abusers as well. everyone is so fucking awful to her for the duration of the entire book. Like 100x worse than she ever was to Feyre. nesta can’t call her little sister stinky but if rhysand straight up told her to kill herself in the next installment everyone would cheer i’m afraid.

The people demand more Minlach. ( please more we are desperate and your art of them is so good 🥺🥺🥺)
🫡
my beautiful yuri... sooo critical to me that minthara 1. fell first 2. fell harder. something abt the idea of this self-avowed villain being utterly and inexplicably smitten with the sweetest nicest golden retriever girl in the world
#minthara is BEGGING to be fixed. i'm SO MAD that you can't fix her in the game#i do not understand people who are like ''she's irredeemable'' OKAY LET'S BE CLEAR i don't want her to be an unproblematic queen or whateve#she should be a murderer and stuff your honour she did in fact do all that. not discounting that in the slightest#BUT ALSO she did fall for karlach because karlach represents like. hope and happiness and peace and kindness and mercy#it's healing. for minthara. she's not like that cuz she's inherently evil she's fucking traumattiiizzeeeeeddddd#tbh when i first started shipping them i chased my tail a little on why karlach would even like her back but like#come on. karlach would kill for anything if it held her right#literally her greatest fear is being annoying and unlovable#she's a bit of a groveler. and minthara is the opposite of that so she can teach her to stop being a groveler and they meet in the middle#and it's perfect and they lived happily ever after#anyway#the meme on the right is old as fuck and i just never posted it. it's from months ago#which is a little unfortunate because i do think i might like it more than the drawing on the left#which is fresh from the factory (my hand)#but it's fine. it's fine#i also kinda wanna draw them with that 'short girl holding tall guy by the tie' meme? you know the one. that's them#ALSO VERY 'she ask for no pickles' as well#leave it to me to FOR ONCE get into a big fandom and then i pick a NICHE ASS TINY SHIP to get obsessed with#BUT THE BIGGEST SHIPS IN THIS FANDOM ARE FUCKING AWFUL#i fucking despise ********** and ********* IYKYK I WON'T BE A HATER IN THE TAGS BUT FUCKING IYKYYYYK#dm me if you want to hear me go on a tangent about the most popular f/f ship in this fandom and why i hate it with a deep passion#SO BAD#A NY WAY.#bg3#karlach#karlach cliffgate#minthara#minthara baenre#mintharlach#minlach

i hate svsss fics that downplay sqqs (yuan) trauma incredibly.
and not in the sqq pov where hes just an unreliable narrator, no, I mean when the author very clearly did not understand how dramatic what happened to him was. i dont see them very often but every time i do i just sigh and leave it lol.
i doubt this is done on purpose but for those who actually enjoy that uh view of things (?) thats fine, totally cool. kudos to you and everything- but at least put a warning in the tags. im begging.
ive gotten really into some of these fics without realizing and its just so disappointing but i cant just leave it unfinished, yknow? the shen yuan in me wont allow it
like bro literally got half his limbs ripped off by a person with the face he loved and has died for MULTIPLE TIMES. and then was raped..? by that same person??? (not that im blaming binghe, they were both victims) but like. CMON??? oh and dont even get me started on the whole "binghes going to want revenge after i unwillingly had to push him into literal hell, i must prepare" and the entire holy mausoleum arc.. aint no way hes totally chill after that man. for years he was just waiting for death while also mourning white lotus bingbing..
give me more fics of sqq having breakdowns, ptsd, trauma!! he deserves to cry!!! sqq is just as traumatized as binghe!! let the man sob!! preferably in binghes arms!!!
#also this isnt me saying binghes trauma isnt important#it is#he was betrayed by the one person he loved because of his genes and then accidentally killed him#dude is also not okay#he deserves to sob and pout all he wants#i feel like ppl are going to take this the wrong way sigh#i just want them both sad and miserable#need to see them heal together#also all of cang qiong??#throw them in too for all i care#let them have a cuddle pile#rambles#just yappin#svsss#shen qingqiu#shen yuan#luo binghe#bingqiu#yappity yap yap#sorry this just irks me so#i would write my own fics like this but its not as fun#and im not that great of a writer sigh#mxtx#mxtx svsss#the scum villain's self saving system#scum villain

Are the people who keep complaining that jason got away with what he did completely unscathed actually okay? Like, did we read the same comics? There's extremely little I can think of that didn't happen to Jason as "punishment"
like why are the people who want him to be punished forever not happy he is already getting punished forever what else do you want
#actually I think I have an idea what they want#they want a catharsis for their hatred of the character that doesn't trigger empathy for him#hence the exaggeration of the power imbalance between him and tim and mia#because bruce torturing jason doesn't feel right.#helpless little damsel mia getting her revenge for his evil general evilness is far more comfortable#“mia should get to kill jason as a treat” why would you speak about these characters if you do not respect either of them#be serious#vent post#jason todd#red hood#i don't know how to tag this to avoid getting hit with a wave of abuse justification and bad seeing red takes ngl#actually let's be safe#anti batman#anti bruce wayne#anti cassandra cain#anti mia dearden#this is not about any of these people but i do not know how else to “tag properly”#anti duke thomas#maybe?#for that panel about duke saying jason got away unscathed or stg people have been talking about#anyway this take is hilarious to me as someone with an AU where jason gets away without real punishment#not because I think what he did (in the au) is good but because I believe in harm-reduction and healing rather than punishment#like some people are reading comics straight up from another dimension at this point#vent#glitter rants

Bruce tried to avenge Jason, not Dick
This is just a rant about a lil thing that keeps coming up in fics I read. Often, Dick is "forgiven" by Jason because he "avenged Jason" by killing the Joker and Bruce "ruined it". Or Dick is written to have tried to kill the Joker after Jason's death but not Bruce, and Bruce may have tried to stop him.
First of, Dick did not try to avenge Jason. Y'all really want him to be okay with killing and ready to kill to avenge his loved ones, but Dick is better than Bruce, and that also means he is less likely to cross the line. No, Dick did not want to kill Zucco (Apart from the Titans show, but this show's characterization is awful), and no, he did not want the Joker dead. When Dick killed the Joker, it was in a moment of rage because Tim was in danger. He did not plan it and he immediately regret it. Bruce, with the help of HELENA who is fine killing people, brought the Joker back to life for Dick, because it would have broken him. And Dick still hates himself afterward, for killing the Joker even tho he is alive. And, again, he did not do it for Jason.
And, sure, you can have your hc, but the moment they are in conflict with who the character is (Dick is disgusted by the idea of being a murderer, killing someone or letting someone be killed, even the murderer of his brother), then we are going to have a problem.
Now, about Bruce. Upon discovering Jason's body, Bruce was settled on avenging him. It's why he took away every evidence, so he would not have anyone interfere between him and the Joker. He spent the days following Jason's death, and then Jason's funerals, looking for the Joker to kill him. He refused to call Dick because he did not want him to interfere, he was only thinking about his revenge and did not think the emotional importance of telling Dick about Jason.
The man is not thinking straight. And when he thinks he found where the Joker may be, Superman shows up, telling him that a Gotham's criminal is now under diplomatic immunity and the US gov doesn't want Batman being a bitch about it. And Bruce punches Clark in the face. That's how fucking unstable he is at this point, punching Clark without kryptonite because he is standing between him and killing the Joker.
Clark learns the Joker killed Jason, and he tries to make Bruce accepts to only kill the Joker, the only justice Bruce is accepting at this point, once he isn't a diplomat. YES, SUPERMAN DID NOT STOP BRUCE. Batman nearly succeeds in killing the Joker, but the helicopter they are in is going down, so Superman saves him. Bruce, the fucking madman he is, obsessed over bringing justice to his boy, doesn't care about his safety, he wants the Joker's body! And when it isn't found, he isn't satisfied but accepts to go home.
The Joker will come back at least a year later, and with some ptsd from his last encounter with the Bat and escaping death. Bruce, doing better mentally now that he has a new child to take care of (which he sends with his whole class to Japan to protect), is afraid he will kill the Joker. He keeps bringing up to Alfred how much he wants to kill him for TAKING JASON FROM HIM. But Alfred reminds Bruce again and again that he is a good man and he will resist. He does. This was not the last time Bruce faced the Joker after Jason's death and thought about killing him for Jason.
And, let me be clear, I do not expect Jason to know Bruce did that. The only people who know he did that are Clark, Alfred and Bruce himself (who will probably never tell Jason himself what he did). And maybe Dick, if you want to think (like me) that Bruce sat down with him (way later, after Tim is in the picture so Bruce is better mentally) and explained his mental state when Jason died, and how he didn't tell him not because he was trying to push Dick away, but because he was obsessed with killing the Joker he wasn't thinking rationally about his decisions; not to excuse his actions but to explain how it happened.
Dick is better than Bruce, which is why he grieved Jason surrounded by his friends, people that would support him and listen to him. He did not went on a vengeance mission because he had a support system. Was he mad? Yes, but he tried to open about it to others (the Titans, Koriand'r who was his gf,...) Bruce, on the other hand, is one unhealthy mf that immediately isolated himself once Jason died. He stayed in the cave and dedicated himself only to work, taking all his emotions out on beating people up because he was sharing it. And when people tried to talk to him, he would explode the moment they say anything that he could interpret badly (Clark telling him the Joker has immunity, Dick blaming Bruce for Jason's death...) This is why Bruce tried to avenge Jason and then went out every night being extremely violent and suicidal, and not Dick.
Dick did not avenge Jason and he did not try to, but that doesn't make him a bad brother. He cared deeply about Jason's death, but he is not Bruce, he is better, and that means he is also better at handling grief and not become a self-destructive bomb like Bruce was.
Avenging our loved ones is, in Batman & co's comics, demonstrated to not be the healthy way to deal with grief. Revenge isn't the healthy way to deal with lost, it will only lead to more destruction and pain. It will not bring the dead back, it will only add more bodies in the ground, and it will not heal the wounds.
#jason todd#dick grayson#bruce wayne#batfam#batman#red hood#nightwing#the joker#dc comics#my ramblings#one of the tragedy of Under The Red Hood is that Jason thinks Bruce doesn't love him when he does#That Jason doesn't know how much his father was wrecked by his death#That Bruce finally accepting life over death was the best solution for him to heal from losing his son#Anytime I see people say Dick is fine with killing or would kill for his loved ones I roll my eyes he would not#Dick is better than Bruce how can you not understand what that means?!#Seeing fics where Dick is wrecked by Jason's death but Bruce isn't makes me insane like no Dick was wrecked Bruce was unstable#that man punched Superman in the face for just bringing him info he didn't like he is not acting fine he is agressive af#I would not want to interract with Bruce during that time between Jason's death and Tim showing up#I just need people to understand how unwell Bruce was like this is beyond how people normally react to the death of a loved one#ngl the narrative is right about revenge and you would agree if you knew about vendetta in Corse where families are killing each other#like you kill someone they kill someone as revenge you kill someone in as revenge they kill someone it never ends#and being forcus on revenge and punishment is literally why the justice system in the US is so bad
