#things to avoid on a date

it's funny whenever i post dinluke i always get comments along the lines of "why do people ship these two they only met once" and its like bestie. babygirl. ok first off it's about the Themes™/dynamics/potential, not how many times they've met in "canon" and 2. when i was a teenager the biggest ship in my favourite fandom was two guys who'd never even interacted and you think its weird people ship two guys that acually met?? in real life canon?? they literally made eye contact, that's like the fanon-shipping equivalent of third base

Prompt:

It’s not that Jason forgot, per se.

But between smuggling a toddler out of the League of Assassins, trekking halfway across the world, and finding a suitable hiding place that’s also child friendly… well, it kind of slipped his mind that he’s supposed to be… dead.

Something that comes back to bite him in the ass when he takes Dami out for some ice cream and just so happens to run into non other than Brucie-fucking-Wayne

recurring minor characters not being in s2 of the show does mean that TLO is absolutely doomed now if they ever do get to it, because the weight and impact of characters like Silena and Beckendorf are entirely based on how long they've been around in the books and their longstanding connection to events in the story and particularly Percy (not to mention Beckendorf's importance in SoM specifically but i digress)

HOWEVER. on the bright side: this means they are spared from being in the show for now. so.

learning abt friendship decay and "not reaching out to your friends for months at a time unprompted is not neurotypical behaviour" has me feeling a certain way

My birthday is tomorrow and new Adore would be a great present. :D

Happy birthday, anon! I don't know exactly what time you sent this, but it's probably your birthday now. 🥳

I can't give you your present yet, but you can maybe possibly be on the lookout near the end of the month, like say, in two weeks' time, maybe on a Monday or Tuesday. I'm just saying, that would be a good time to think about a certain boy and his daddy, and wonder what they might be up to.

I see your gay uncles of the straw hats Jimbrook and raise you old, gay, heartbroken, pirate captians who find a loving, romantic relationship in each other as they watch over a group of chaotic youngsters.

Because Brook and Yorki had a heartbreaking goodbye, and Brook spent 50 years mourning, but now he has a second chance. He wasn't expecting anything, but then, lo and behold! A handsome, kind, capable fish man enters stage right, and Brook is smitten. Here is someone who understands the grief of losing a captian and partner, then having to take their place to hold the crew together, but ultimately watching thier crew fall apart or suffer due to factors outside their control.

For Jimbei the last few years have been a whirlwind of chaos. He was looking forward to a new adventure full of chaos of his own making and choices. Now, enter stage left, this fantastic, enigmatic, adorable skeleton (and he's a musician!), who is a wonderful presence on a ship full of younger pirates. Jimbei never really moved on from the loss of the Sun Pirates, and hasn't had time to mourn all the friends he's lost in the past few years. But now he finds companionship and comfort in Brook. Someone who doesn't expect him to move on, let's him reminisce, but keeps him from getting stuck in his mourning. He's never thought of romance seriously before, but now he finds himself wanting.

The two meet in the middle, center stage on a ship of dreams as they forge a new one together. They still keep and work towards their individual dreams but find pieces of each other in them. Brook looks forward to the day he can introduce Laboon to Jimbei, and Jimbei has promised to translate the whale's words for Brook. Jimbei will see freedom for his people and finds motivation in every new song Brook writes and story he tells. Together, they find peace, calm, and rest. They find excitement, companionship, and a harbour in the other after years of storms.

What I’ve been saying lately 🤭.

[lavenderfeminist]

When you say you don’t want to be someone’s “experiment” what do you mean? Even if you dated a woman who came to the conclusion that dating women wasn’t for her how would that make you an experiment? That women would be bisexual still. Bi women who don’t want to date women are still bisexual and so are bi women who are more romantically and sexually attracted to men. Do you think straight women “experiment” with dating lesbians? I thought someone like you would disagree with that. Bi women like this aren’t less bi than your bi gf who has only dated women. Neither of you are holier than thou.

Nobody’s calling into question anybody’s bisexuality, you fool. I simply don’t feel like being the way someone finds out they don’t want to date women. Because ‘experimenting’ very much includes being bi, dating the same sex, and deciding you’re not into it? And not wanting to experience that kind of rejection is a perfectly valid and human desire? What a genuinely insane thing to say to me. The fact that you took that as me calling into question someone’s sexuality and not expressing that I’m literally just not interested in wasting emotional and physical energy on somebody who’s not serious about me is fucking INSANE, by the way.

Uh oh. I dreamed about RadioApple/AppleRadio (Alastor x Lucifer Morningstar and vice versa) from Hazbin Hotel. I’ve been infected. 😅

rehashing an old post but i think a lot about how in trying to absolve hunt instead of seriously addressing the power imbalance/impropriety of the relationship between him and the mc, pixelberry chose to make it so it’s the mc “pursuing” hunt and being really forceful about it. in this case, it’d be okay because it’s not him being weird and, well, the mc really, really wants this! this was not an well thought out decision because 1. it doesn’t remove the need to address a professor dating his student, and whatever that means for both parts + the story they’re in, and 2. in the process they make mc a person with no respect for boundaries who quite literally stalks this man and assaults him under false pretences. not to mention how the writing in these quests is confusing and contradictory (the mc is written in two different ways at different times, whatever the plot is in need). just… really bad on all fronts

hiii I need your advice if you're willing to give it!

i am in high school (senior) and I have a crush on this really cute boy. he's super awkward and shy and we've only talked maybe three times? I don't know how to strike up a conversation with him! what do I do?? </3

Please approach! The answer to that is so easy. Always always alwaysss approach if you want to. Either he’s totally into you and it’s the start of something, or he’s like sorry I’m not interested and then it’s a little awkward, but either way it’s a valuable learning experience bc then you learn that rejection is not the end of the world. I’m still 10000% sensitive when it comes to rejection, but I’ve definitely put myself in enough situations to where it’s so much less of a blow now

Tbh the truly hard part is what to do after the fact. Like sometimes people do like you, but it’s only to a certain point so then they’re only half in and it’s confusing and the mixed signals drive you crazy . And sometimes circumstance truly prevent someone from going all the way w you (and that’s the more rare scenario lmao) but either way pleaseee don’t obsess. Just take any confusing signals as a hard no. I wish I had an older sister to tell me this. Confusion = no. Do not put yourself in a perpetual situationship .

It doesn’t matter if it has nothing to do w you and everything to do w personal stuff he has going on at home. And btw this goes for every person ever, not just guys. And my slightly harsh take is if someone truly valued you, they’d respect you enough not to be confusing about where they’re coming from. I’ve always gone wrong in being like “he does like me but xyz” and it’s like even if that’s true and he’s head over heels, if he still can’t commit to you then he still can’t. So don’t obsess and just pivot your attention elsewhere . I am so serious. No situationships!!

Challenge for Mod Authors: Level Impossible

When writing down directions for how to fix issues in your mod, hand those instructions to 1 friend that doesn't have any experience in programming. If they say your instructions don't help solve their issue. Rewrite the instructions until it does.

Feel free to ignore this but as someone who also goes to art school, I find it really interesting how other art schools also have a “don’t date your peers” sort of faux pa. Like so many people I know (including me) refuse to date anyone else who goes to my college 😭

I wonder why that is tbh, small school thing maybe?

being so serious i didn't have anything against dating other art school peers when i first came here and i think most freshmen dont but once you have one or two art school relationships under your belt you realize why all the upperclassmen avoid dating each other like the plague
