Soooo @sneezyanimeboyfriends commissioned this comic of their OC! I’m loving his design and had a tonne of fun drawing him, thanks for commissioning me!

My roommate just used the phrase "a sneeze of pepper" to quantify how much I should be using to season veggies.

I hate being so into nose picking but having no clue how to describe what's sexy about it in writing. How do I write a fic about that?? Everything I think of sounds cringe and terrible, I just don't have the words for what I like about it. I don't have the words for how it looks to me.

I saw this and had to make the edit

"Sorry, I– hhh– know how you are a-ahhhhbout it, so I'm trying not to– hhhh!!!– not to– to sn– hhhhhheeeeze– so I d-don't distraahhhhhct you..."

"Oh thahhnk god, it was getting really hard to- hhhaaahhh'tSCHIEW! hh'TSCHIUU! Snf, to hold it back. Sorry..."

"...Bless you."

"Ah... sorry, I really did do the opposite of what I meant, didn't I? You're– hhhhiiiihh'tCHSCHIIEW!– blushing."

how fucking odd and weird is it that instead of wanting sex my body will hear a sneeze and all of a sudden it’s like okay we’re ready to go. we’re ready to procreate right this very instant god bless you god bless you god bless you

Okay so anyone in my age group is gonna remember these books (I hope. Or it’s a Canadian thing)

I’m having a memory of a defining snz moment from one of these books. Not this one, this is just the only one I had in the bookstore for reference.

But someone else has to remember??? I have no specifics, I just remember being a child and being way too interested in one of these books. Someone search through their memories for the book that had that scene pleaseeeee

A cute Snz Process Commission I did for my friend. Her name is Mahogany, and I adore her with all my heart. She was my first OC I've ever designed, so very special !

I also like turning my process images into GIFs !

obs of the day

today this guy in my class was super sniffly (he probably had like a cold thing going on?) and at first he blew his nose into a fast food napkin - you know the ones that are really scratchy and non-absorbent - and when he tried to reuse it later it literally had a hole in it and was absolutely soaked, but obvs he still really needed to blow his nose. so.

instead of asking someone else for a tissue like any normal person would, he rustled around in his bag and came up with …

wait for it-

a packet of wet wipes.

he deadass blew his nose into an antibacterial wipe. i thought the chemicals might make him sneeze but alas they didn’t

Inducing 🫣

[gemandthesnots]

cw: talking, whimpering, and everything after 2:15 is just very thick miserable sniffling. also i didn’t mean for this to be asmr because i personally don’t like the spine tingles but that’s kinda how it turned out so be warned of that too ^^

Someone in the throes of an allergic reaction, taking or being handed a cold, wet washcloth. They press it to their nose, desperate to soothe the smoldering tickle, but it’s still so itchy they can’t help but scrub at it. The coolness helps, but the scrubbing does not, and soon they’re muffling sneeze after squelchy sneeze into the damp cloth.

Perhaps a little bit inspired by my travels lately, I've been thinking about a flight attendant with a horrible, itchy, messy cold.

Personally I'm thinking about this in the so-called "golden age of flight" (late 1950s-1970s) because of the high standard of makeup and dress that flight attendants were subject to at that time, but many airlines still currently use that model so this also works perfectly well in the modern day!

Anyway, a flight attendant waking up the morning of a big flight (at least 6 hours long) with a completely blocked up nose and a sandpaper throat. They groan internally- whatever plague the man in first class on their last flight had has clearly infected them. Still, they get up and start to get ready- they won't get paid if they aren't on the flight, after all.

The pressure in their head shifts while they're in the shower, and a tickle grows in their nose. They sneeze frequently, and by the time they get out of the shower their nose is a dusty pink color. They're annoyed by this, but put makeup over it (trying to ignore how the brush irritates their nose and induces several more powerful sneezes). By the time they're dressed and ready to leave the house, they've managed to convince themselves that they'll be able to get through this flight just fine.

A few hours later, as the flight takes off and the change in pressure begins to give them a sinus headache and clogs their ears (symptoms they usually never have to deal with due to all their experience on airplanes), they begin to realize that this isn't going to be as easy as they thought. Still, they have a job to do, and they're going to do it to the best of their ability.

Flash forward to halfway through the flight, and they're not sure how much longer they can keep going. They've touched up their makeup multiple times, yet they can feel their nose becoming visibly chapped as it continues to run incessantly. Their sinus headache has reached almost unbearable levels, due in large part to the sheer number of sneezes they've been stifling and holding back. Finally, one of their coworkers tells them to go take a break, an order which they gratefully accept. They spend the next 10 minutes locked in one of the bathrooms, sneezing themselves silly (and pretending no one can hear them, even though they absolutely can). They then resolve to reapply their makeup, fix their hair and uniform (which are now decidedly askew) and muscle through the remainder of this flight.

Spoiler alert: that doesn't end well for them.

I love when people tell you how messy their sneezes are in little, innocently descriptive ways.

"Ugh, I just sneezed all over my hands-"

"Fuck, I got snot on my book-"

Like..... bitch I'm about to nut!!!
