"Why do people even write dark fics why cant you write something happy instead"
Why did Shakespeare write tragedies? Why did the ancient Greeks? Why did the Mesopotamians? Why couldn't Gilgamash and Enkidu just have a happy ending instead? Orpheus and Eurydice? Romeo and Juliet?
Tragic and "dark" writing has been a part of human history since the literal VERY BEGINNING. Tragedies give us the space to explore and experience the full range of negative human emotion- anger, hurt, fear, betrayal, grief- in a safe and controlled way. YOU are in control when you are reading it. You can stop reading at any time when the emotions get to be too much, and you can look up and know that you are still safe. YOU are responsible for the media you consume. You are NOT allowed to tell people what they can and cannot enjoy.
Burrowing: regular cuddles. Could be any position. Used as an act of bonding.
Nesting: person A (dominant) wraps their body around person B (non-dominant), restricting movement. Could be laying down or standing up. Usually used as defense or as an act of bonding.
Clinging: when person A follows person B around. Could be with nesting, but is usually just hand-holding or watching from some distance. Usually used as defense. Person B usually enjoys this, and pulling them apart may result in aggression.
Other: what person A is to person B. This may be romantic, sexual, familial, platonic, protective, or otherwise. The process of becoming one's other is referred to as othering.
Personing: the process of undoing an othering. You could think of it as "breaking up."
Imprinting: when person A grows to be affectionate to person B. This process could be automatic or slow.
Quick imprinting (or auto-impriting): when person A meets person B and is enthralled. They immediately take it upon themself to be this person's other. Othering is often sudden and immediately noticeable. Personing is easy.
Slow imprinting (or nonauto-imprinting): when person A may not like person B at first, but after some exposure, come to like them. Othering is often a slow and subtle process. Personing is difficult.
Bonding: when person A and B become closer through acts; hanging out, burrowing, intimacy, or otherwise. Used for emotional connection (love), but there have been reports of physical or psychic connections being formed.
(One more silly werewolf doodle before I go to bed)
Poor Dust didn't stand a chance, how long do you think it took Horror to learn his strength and stop destroying everything in the vampire house? lol
(Also in case you're going to bed around now too goodniiiight!!)
(Unless you see this in the morning in which case good moooorning!!)
WAAAAAA cutiesss, Horror just fucking clocked him holy shit T T, this is so cool thank u sm!!
I think.. College au Horror is very controlled. He knows his strength, maybe there was a small adjusting period when he started living with vamps instead of a pack of wolves similar in strength.
He's very teasing though, so probably lots of 'oh no gravity is increasing on me' bullshit lol.
I cooked the bags from (reasonably) scratch, starting with frying my own aburaage from raw tofu.
Now, passing the mike to our local expert.
As you can see, he's not impressed.
The coclusions:
I messed up aburaage. I cut the tofu slices way too thick and also fried them for too long (they turned out darker than should be). This resulted in the whole thing being a bit hard to chew.
The taste is still good though.
I wish I could say that I'm just going to make it with store-bought inari bags from now on (the whole thing took way more time and effort to cook than I had expected, but this could be skill issue), but I really want to learn how to do it right because it's one of my favorite sushi types ❤️
Madara is not getting any more of this because he doesn't appreciate it enough
haha don’t think about that au where stan & ford as kids get sent forward in time and end up with young adult versions of themselves, stan with ford and ford with stan. don’t think about adult ford focusing on finding a way to send stan back, kid stan finding it so cool how smart he is. stan eventually realizing that ford isn’t just trying to help, he’s trying to get rid of him—he’s just a reminder of the brother ford doesn’t want to think about anymore. adult stan meeting kid ford, having a version of his brother who still loves him and admires him. taking him to gravity falls because he figures ford could figure out what to do, he can’t just keep this kid forever after all—he has a home to go back to. ford’s found a way to send them back, and right before the younger twins leave, stan stops this kid version of his brother to hug him goodbye. holds on tight and tells him he’ll miss him. maybe ford will respond that he’s sure he misses stan too in the future, but stan knows better. he says “yeah you’re probably right, kid” anyway. the kids leave, and ford leaves stan alone in that room, kneeling on the floor where he said goodbye to the brother that still saw him as his hero.
no offence but the reason tumblr is “dying” is, well, yes, of course the cursed like/reblog ratio and the change in user behaviour (because of people being used to how instagram and tiktok work) BUT also the lack of weekly shows. i say it with my whole chest, they don't produce captivating and engaging stupid weekly tv shows anymore because streaming killed that so you have spikes of activity here when Something happens in general fandom or up to three days after a new season of whatever drops and then it's a wasteland. this is obviously an old woman yelling at a cloud missing supernatural and the vampire diaries and pretty little liars and all these other shows type of post but honestly give me back weekly tv shows where i have something to watch for 40 minutes almost every day of the week after work so then i can read and reblog it on tumblr give it back for the sake of my sanity
Does anybody else track their life though a series of obsessions? Like “ah yes, i remember that happening, i was obsessing over Star Gate Atlantis at the time,” or, “this was during my Supernatural era.” I can map out my whole life in this way.
