please please please please reblog if you’re a writer and have at some point felt like your writing is getting worse. I need to know if I’m the only one who’s struggling with these thoughts

[jeritoodles]

definitely kiss about it !! maybe even more than that but kiss about it most definitely!!!!

barbara going from hissing "what's left of you when the bell rings is just a lingering aroma of shalimar" at ava in s1 to stunned silence when ava makes her confront her own biases in that mom with the bitch tattoo to admitting ava has made some points in fundraiser to saying "ava you are right" in this episode. ava going from thinking barb is too high and mighty in s1 to being able to see through her walls and understand her in that episode with the mom with the bitch tattoo to being her equal in fundraiser to getting to hear barbara talk about experiences that are vulnerable and then finding ways to give her joy (and taking joy in her joy) in this episode. and i think. i think they should. i think they should kiss about it.

[jeritoodles]

i can't explain to you how much this means to me.

[jeritoodles]

the evolution of ava making points and catching barbara off guard

[jeritoodles]

I think fandom fundamentally lost something when fan content stopped being treated like a free creation from another fan and more like a YouTube video dropped from your favorite influencer.

it’s become content and consumers, not a community of people and it’s fundamentally breaking the ecosystem.

For the fic writers questions: 💘 🎉 💞 and 🪄 !!

💘 Of House and Home (avabarb kidfic) I had so many ideas that didn’t make it in that would fit so well.

🎉 I only know if I get a notif. I try not to look because then I get worried people hate it if there’s not any kudos or comments. It’s also really nice to open my dashboard on ao3 and see someone has taken the time to leave a comment or I open my email and there’s a kudos notif. :) makes my day.

💞 the bookends. the beginning and the end. I stress so hard about the way I start and end fics because I always like to tie them together if I can. If I can’t then I at least try and make the ending feel solid and like a good punctuation to the story.

🪄 I post it. I read it once from the site so I can see what y’all see. I send the the link to my friends and here and then I leave it alone. I normally will go about my day if I post early. If I’m posting at night then I read others’ fics and then go to sleep :)

thanks for asking 🫶🏾

send ! i’m never on here anymore

Ava x Barbara

Thank you so much I love your content ❤️❤️

Barbara Howard’s love language is physical touch. She is a touchy feeley person if she loves you and she will touch you if she thinks the situation calls for it. What she will not allow is for you to touch her - that is unless she trusts you enough to show her love and she knows you won’t hurt her. Barbara has been touched by many people in her life who had done her so very wrong so now no one touches without being allowed.

That being said, during the day she’s quite a bit touch-starved. There are only two people she trusts at Abbott to touch her and with the cameras around, they don’t very often. By the end of the day Barbara craves attention and love in the form of hugs, back rubs, massages etc. Ava of course knows all of these things and tries to sneak a touch for Barbara at least once a day while they’re at work. Ava will go to Barbara’s room during a free period, sit on her desk, and watch her work. While they sit Ava will run her hand down Barbara’s arm or gently stroke the back of Barbara’s neck until it’s time for her to go. Her small time with Ava at work keeps her satisfied for a while but never enough.

When they get home is their favorite time of the day. Ava usually gets home first, driving like someone should really take away her license, and Barbara gets in soon after. Then the fun begins, because Ava makes sure the both of them are comfortable before engulfing Barbara in her arms. Ava hugs so tightly Barbara thinks she may bust, but she never asks her to let go. Ava holds her so close that Barbara wishes they would just fuse together into one. Barbara loves the way Ava holds her because it’s always face to face so she can admire the peaceful look that takes over Barbara’s features. They kiss for hours on end when Ava holds her, and when they’re not kissing, their foreheads are pressed, their noses are pressed together and every part of them is touching. Ava kisses not just Barbara’s lips, but all over her; anywhere she can reach at the moment. Ava’s favorite spot to kiss is right under Barbara’s left ear. It makes Barbara giggle. From there, Ava will kiss down her neck, onto her shoulder across her back to the other shoulder and back up until she reaches right under Barbara’s right ear. Barbara loves to be kissed on her neck and most of the time Ava barely makes it to the other ear before being dragged up the stairs. Ava rubs, something that at first made Barbara a little uneasy, but with time, she got along with the rubbing. Most times the rubbing is reserved for when Ava is feeling hot-n-ready. She’ll rub Barbara’s tummy, hips, and her behind, signaling that she wanted to touch and rub on other places. Barbara has come to like when Ava rubs, and when Ava hits her with a neck-kiss and rub combo? Barbara is goo.

Ava gives and Barbara soaks every bit of it up. Catering to Barbara’s touching needs is one of Ava’s many forms of saying ‘I love you’.
