in the amelia pond au, amelia’s aunt does still send her to therapy between doctor adventures, but since amelia is now secure in the fact that he’s Definitely Real since both rory and mels have also met him and because she lost a tooth last week from tripping on the stairs of the tardis, she doesn’t bite any therapists this time around. and besides, her therapist is a very funny lady. she reminds amelia of her doctor, with how her voice will flip and jump in volume and accent and tone on a whim, with how she’ll talk to amelia like they’re conspiring together. she keeps the pictures amelia draws of the doctor and their adventures for her, even hangs one or two on the walls. she listens very intently to every detail, which no adults in amelia’s life do save the doctor himself and river song, whenever she’s around. and best of all, whenever she tells amelia’s aunt that amelia is doing just fine, don’t you worry, she’ll grow out of this, she winks at amelia so that amelia will know her therapist is only playing along to wave away her aunt’s suspicion.

it is a little odd, though, that she insists on only being called Missy. but amelia is quite used to odd by now.

Me, walking out of the cinema after watching Frozen Empire: Well that was terrible and forgettable and disappointing and I didn't like it at all.

Me, over a month later: I have LITERALLY not thought of anything but Phoebe and Melody and the other silly little characters in this film for like five weeks straight it's becoming a slight problem- What? Oh yeah, I didn't like the film at all. anyway here's my Checkmatch playlist and all the fanfic I've read-

Saw your Medusa Tintin, how about Merman Tintin, I know you already drew some a while back, but I always welcome more MerTintin, especially in may (cause mermay)

AAAA I didn't manage to post it in May but I suppose a merman is always welcome and I guess it's fitting for pride month so here it is, hope you like it <3

I always come back to the sky and the sea opposition and symbolism, don't I...

Lovely Ari,

What do you think of this dynamic?

Prissy, prickly, grumpy Reader x Suguru? Bonus points if Reader is a little nerd who speaks like a Thesaurus and quotes Sartre without realising it.

AMAZING PERFECT INCREDIBLE LITERALLY UNBEATABLE TBH???????????? anon i am so so SO weak for this dynamic…… when it comes to sugu i think my favorite readers for him are either silly or grumpy :33 i just think it’d be so cute!! and reader being a little nerd is also so sweet…..

i genuinely think suguru would find it so endearing. it’d definitely be a slowburn but i think that’s how he prefers it anyway!! and he’s nothing if not a man who enjoys a good challenge 😤 so at first i think he’d just be really sweet and patient with a grumpy little reader, hoping they’ll eventually warm up to him… the process is enjoyable for him.

buuuuut once he falls for them….. and once they’re in a relationship……. he somehow gets even sweeter. he’d be so perfect for this kind of reader bc again!! he’s just so so patient :((( even if you get all hissy and prickly he just gives you a sweet smile and maybe some space. or a kiss to throw you off <33 i picture all grumpy readers as easily flustered tbh so he would just thrive off of teasing you…. thinks it’s so cute when you get all embarrassed. T_T he’s perfect!! sugu would make a grumpy reader feel so safe and comfortable… to the point where they aren’t nearly as hissy around him as they are with others. and that would just be.. suguru’s favorite thing ever??? the idea of being your safe space. the only person who can calm you down. i think he wants to be that so badly!! it makes him feel so cherished :33

.. also tbh . i think…. cult leader!geto would eat this up……….. like any kind of sugu would love it but i picture him specifically as unbelievably smitten and endlessly patient and maybe a bit of a masochist so it’s just really funny to me. imagine reader being all >:c bc he had to cancel their date to do Cult Things and he’s behind them like ^_^ …. apologizing and stuff but he just thinks you’re so cute. the Cutest. worships the ground you walk on. doesn’t mind if you curse him out bc he knows you’ll soften up eventually and that melts his heart down to the marrow. he loves it when you’re grumpy and a little mean and he loves it even more when you suddenly get shy and crave his attention. (he makes me feel ill actually)

Something that I love about getting the Grillby'z lore is that yeah they're side characters and pretty easy to breeze by to focus on the ensemble cast, but it's so clear that Toby Fox loves them?? He filled this little universe twice over with an amazing group of characters and eight years later is still thinking about them as much as we are

(quick clarification: this post is specifically about neurodivergent transmeds refusing to use people's neos out of an apparent disrespect and using their neurodivergence as an excuse to legitimately be mean. feel free to add more stuff onto this in the replies!)

hey guys don't mean to be queer on main but i think people using their neurodivergency as an excuse to misgender people isn't ok actually.

i've seen stories of quite a few people who use the fact that they have ADHD (or some other condition that may cause memory issues) and can't remember things well as an excuse to "forget" someone's neopronouns, even after being asked by that person multiple times to refer to them with those pronouns. this isn't ok on so many levels.

first of all, i think it's incredibly guilt-trippy to make someone feel bad about accidentally being ableist by expressing themselves, when in reality, they haven't done anything wrong at all. using funky and obscure pronouns is not ableist in any way just because some people might have issues remembering them, and i think the take that neopronouns are ableist, especially for that reason, is an incredibly ridiculous and purely situational excuse to be mean.

that's like if someone told you their name, and then you got mad at them for using that name because you struggle to remember it and you demanded them to use a name that's easier and more convenient for you to use, rather than the name that the other person feels comfortable with. that's not an accommodation, that's just being an asshole.

second of all, some neurodivergent people (such as autistic people for example) struggle with change and complex concepts like language and pronouns. it's hard to get used to using neopronouns or someone changing their pronouns sometimes, especially when it happens for the first time because you're so used to it. however. finding change hard is NOT an excuse to misgender someone for your own comfort. someone's deeply personal identity should not be the cost of your own convenience, and refusing to acknowledge and respect that identity by not doing the bare minimum that is using their pronouns is incredibly close-minded and harmful.

third of all, the way someone chooses to express themselves is literally none of your business. someone uses pronouns that are confusing and seem grammatically incorrect to you? none of your business. someone's using "stereotypical" pronouns that "make the queer/autistic community look silly"? not your problem. we're all a little silly.

if you're neurodivergent and you find neopronouns, or any pronouns, difficult to remember or understand, here are some tips you can try instead of being mean:

make a fun little chart of people's names, their pronouns and how to pronounce them (ex. Name | Pronouns | Pronounce)! colour code them, use stickers and drawings, anything that will help you remember which pronouns someone uses. stuff like whiteboards and docs can work well for people who frequently change their pronouns or have a lot of them. making the chart fun, personalised and memorable can help a lot with memory issues for a lot of people.

try practising saying or typing their pronouns, whether that's in the mirror or in group chats. there's some really good pronoun dressing room websites that help illustrate how to use more obscure pronouns in conversation.

feel free to ask people! if you can, ask them what their pronouns are and how to pronounce them. i'm sure they will not be mad and will gladly help you learn :) (though please remember to not out someone and their pronouns if they are in an unsafe place. make sure they feel comfortable first before asking/telling someone about their pronouns because some spaces can be really bigoted and unsafe unfortunately.)

make a character that has neopronouns! making an OC that you get attached to can help you familiarise yourself with the concept and referring to that character frequently with their pronouns!

hopefully this is helpful. if you end up seeing anyone in the neurodivergent community use their neurodivergence and an excuse to misgender someone, please block them and don't start an argument. bigotry will not be tolerated in this community or on my blog.

disclaimer: this post is NOT saying that having memory issues/issues with change makes you a bad person, nor does it make you intentionally ignorant and rude. this post is specifically about people who willfully refuse to respect and use someone's correct pronouns on the basis that they're neurodivergent and find them confusing, and choose to intentionally misgender people for their own comfort/convenience.

edit: also!! i should add that this post isn't saying that nd people who legitimately find neopronouns as a concept difficult to grasp (such as people with learning disabilities) are bad people either! that was something i didn't think of when writing this because this post is more about neurodivergent transmeds/transphobes i've seen in the queer and nd communities specifically, but yeah!! i think accommodations absolutely should be made if a neurodivergent person finds themselves having communication difficulties related to neopronouns because some disabled people actually cannot use them. for extra clarification i have added a disclaimer at the beginning of this post. (thanks to @zolf for pointing this out in the notes)

Little Jolliful thing I want to share:

Fawful is naturally drawn to and feels safest around people larger than himself, hence why he hired Midbus during Bowser's Inside Story who acted as a bodyguard against Fawful's tiny frame. Fawful is very aware his weakness lies in his size and lack of physical strength (partly why he seeks out magical power - it would make him invincible to a degree that he doesn't currently possess.)

With Jolligig, Fawful is emotionally vulnerable for the first time in his life and the two of them being exactly the same size is a visual, physical symbol of that vulnerability. Jolli isn't 'safe' in the same way, he's Fawful's equal in every way. But when it turns out later that Jolli becomes a source of magic in Fawful's life due to the genuine love and care he invests into their relationship, it turns out to be the safest option he could've chosen to begin with.

"it’s so entertaining to watch all the antags be super bitchy and backstabby to each other" Dissidia games make me wish we had a proper Dissidia RPG that's not a mobile game. I played it a bit and liked the interactions, but mobile games always die and you can't replay, :C

omgg ikr

i'd love to see a dissidia game in the future that's actually treated more like a mainline title in terms of gameplay and story structure and whatnot like that would be so awesome

hello, i think this is my first time requesting on your page but before that i wanna say i love your writing, your it is really really pretty <33 and as a request from those prompts may i request jun w 30 "i can hear your heartbeat- why is it going so fast all of a sudden?"?

a kiss on the forehead (s. jun)

prompt 30 — 'i can hear your heartbeat—why is it going fast all of a sudden?' ft. jun sazanami

a kiss on the forehead, lifts sleepiness— i kiss your forehead.

hushed whispering of students and teachers alike scattered to your left and right; clicking of keyboards and pens, sounds of turning paper— in between the homely walls of the library, there was jun waiting for you.

hastily, you collect yourself; eyes darting in all directions to find jun dozing off on a table.

how embarrassing, you thought, did it really take you too long for him to fall asleep waiting for you?

oh— but the closer you get, the more your breath holds itself; you knew nothing with any certainty, but the sight of jun made you dream. the pristine serenity of the mundaneness of this afternoon pulled your heart like a puppet on strings.

inching closer, until the distance between your skin was but a breadth of a hair away; he was beautiful even when he sleeps.

a kiss on the forehead, lifts sleepiness— i kiss your forehead.

your heart leaps to your throat— you swallow, unable to speak anything past a whisper when jun moves just after you press your lips against his forehead.

'ah.. i fell asleep, i'm sorry. have you been here long? ...huh? i can hear your heartbeat... why is it going so fast all of a sudden?'

because of you, but the sun shining in his eyes will have to tell him that for you.

sega is no capcom but it's shocking to me that after nearly 20 years of their business model being a guilt-ridden "throw our product to the wolves and avert our gaze while it gets torn apart and we start work on the next one hoping the wolves will leave it alone this time" process, sonic frontiers has not only been a monumental success but has adopted the post-launch free update model to allow sonic team and morio kishimoto to continue working on and improving the game long past the point where sega would have ever considered it financially advisable or worth risking its reputation on and that's genuinely fucked up to me

[agere-ena]

oh wow it feels so much better now that I've tidied up hehe

I also cleared my askbox of everything except like, 4 HC dumps that I still wanna post... a fresh start!!

No longer overwhelmed. I am baby. I want power.
