how can one man be so babygirl

you know when you see pics of older people from when they were in their early adult-hood years and and turns out they were BANGIN’ hot. like they-definitely-had-a-line-of-lovers type of sexy. Pierro.

YOURE SO SO REAL FOR THIS LIKE GENUINELY. Like. Pierro is that brand of old man crunchy where like.. he aged like a fine wine most certainly, but its so easy to tell that he looked like a greek god in his youth - chiseled jawline, striking eyes, that easy confidence that comes from a life of having pretty privilege thrust upon you from pretty much the moment you came out--

Like.. i feel like he wouldve looked like the grunge aesthetic young adult they slap on the front of album covers where he looks sunken and tired but in a totally dashing way, with wind-tousled hair (honestly i never even thought of his original hair colour until now. i just imagine it white/grey because thats SO him. i could see it being brown, maybe blond?) and eye bags that look like they were dabbed on delicately with eyeshadow and a brush.

but even with all of that i do also just see him looking like he was just straight up carved from marble with his broad shoulders and the confident way he stands. Like he was drop dead gorgeous, the folks of khaenri'ah swooned over him, most everyone assumed he would go on to become a knight simply because of the whole 'dashing knight in armour' stereotype.

He's the sort of guy you see playing someones grandpa in a film and you're like "wait hes so hot though. now i wanna see what he looked like when he was younger" and then you get mad because HOW CAN PEOPLE BE SO GORGEOUS THEIR ENTIRE LIVES HUH. HOW IS THAT FAIR.

I feel like his looks are not really something he openly acknowledges or even really realises - I guess this ties in to my oddly specific Pierro headcanons ((gives that old man a million mental illnesses and refuses to elaborate)) but i imagine he gets really really caught up in the minor details and just sort of passively sees himself as very just .. 'whatever', despite just how many people have always told him how handsome and beautiful he is.

Like, of course he'll thank them for the compliment but in his head he has like 90 rebuttals and genuinely convinces himself that theyre just saying it to be nice/polite/to get in his good graces/whatever. man has imposter syndrome out the wazoo .

I think he definitely aged very finely and gracefully, all things considered, but his obsessive fear of aging physically makes him feel like he hasnt. but to me . old man pierro is the most gorgeous . perfect.

so it was my mother’s birthday a couple of days ago, and as a present my grandma gave her (and the whole family to boot) tickets to a mini london tour with a guide, specifically focused on islington, in russian obviously since she doesn’t speak much english. led by this eccentric gentleman in a bowler hat who’s from moscow but has lived here for 19 years and has been leading guided tours for ten.

the tour was fun and informative. lots of tall tales mixed in with historical facts and local art history too. but the guide himself... man. imagine a cross between eddie redmayne and peter capaldi. 40ish. salt and pepper hair. hooked nose roman profile. educated. witty. storyteller. dresses like some kind of urban wizard or as-yet-unseen incarnation of the doctor. mischievous glint in his eye. learns the name of everybody in the group immediately and chats to you like a casual friend as you walk from destination to destination. i sound like a fucking creep now, don’t i, but what is tumblr if not a public personal diary? don’t think i’ve ever caught a crush this quickly before. started entertaining silly little clara fantasy delusions for a second.

then at one point while recounting an anecdote he mentioned his wife and kids, naturally that brought me back down to reality. here, have a regents canal photo instead

OH!! i almost forgot that i wanted to post the drawings i made for the video separately... ENJOY !

(NOT ATSV) my ideal miguel and miles friendship (bordering on enemies) dynamic is where Miles is sort of a Mean Girls figure where he’ll say the worst things to Miguel, who actually has no problems dishing that shit right back out, is usually too fed up or somewhere else mentally to reply. They fight a lot, more physically than verbally, usually in a slapstick comedy type of way. Miles is banned from Nueva York once a month and got a restraining order against Miguel in his own dimension. His parents fucking hate him and Miguel hates them right back. Rio has tried and failed to poison him via food and Jeff is considering hiring a hitman. Gabriel is beloved by them. Miles takes Miguel’s money at least twice a week to go spend it just because he can. Miguel has tried (and succeeded once) to get Miles sick with a future illness because he figured out the lesbian bar Miguel liked to perform at in drag. Miles has cried at least once in every room of Miguel’s apartment and Miguel has been confused on what to do each time besides an awkward hug and pat on the back. People are rightfully worried for Miles’s safety at least 80% of the time but when they aren’t they’re shaking their heads at the two’s antics. They need to be separated until they have a healthy “this is a grown ass man / this is stupid little girl i don’t like at work” relationship and it’ll take an act of god for either of them to realize their current one isn’t healthy at all and has extremely negative impacts on their mental state.

It’s all whiney subs this whiney subs that. NO. I want to fuck a grumpy and broody, angsty love interest in a romance novel, dark and stormy country boy, tortured old ass man type dude. I want him to grunt and groan and shit. Like yeah, whiney subs are great, love whiney subs, but also love to see those fuckers who complain about their knees in a dad tone while sucking the strap.

Paris x Reader (Platonic)

In Which Paris Appreciates Tea

You were visiting Lily again, but this time Yumi answered the door.

You knew the basics about Yumi's situation. She was a psychic, her nightmares were prophecies, and she had a doll named Paris that was sentient. She lived with her two adoptive mothers, and Lily babysat for them while they worked.

"Hi, Yumi. How are you today?"

She let you in, "I'm alright. I didn't dream last night, so Paris is here."

"That's nice. Are you enjoying your time together?" You set your stuff down next to the door.

Yumi smiled, "Yep! Earlier, I was teaching him how to knit. He still drops stitches here and there, but he's getting the hang of it."

"That sounds so fun! And how's Lily?"

Yumi grinned mischievously, "Lily is making Paris try on comfortable clothes."

You paused, "And what does that entail?"

Lily popped into the room, "Sourcing clothes from some old dolls of mine and -" She ducked as a pillow flew over her head and into the wall beside her, "hiding his suit when he isn't looking."

"I would quite like to have my suit back before it gets wrinkled," Paris entered the room after Lily and turned to you, "Hello, so lovely to see you today."

Paris was wearing a black cable knit sweater and some gray sweatpants. His red socks were the only thing that wasn't pilfered, it seemed, as he was wearing them.

"Well, that outfit certainly looks more comfortable that your suit. Does it feel more comfortable?"

Paris crossed his arms, "It's. Complicated. I don't mind the feel the cloth, and it is much a much looser fit than my suit."

"So it's comfy?" Lily grinned.

"Lily, if I say this outfit is comfortable, will you give me my suit back?"

You interrupted them, "Look, Paris, I'm genuinely asking, are you more comfortable in that outfit? You don't have to be more comfortable in it. It's alright if you'd prefer your suit."

He paused, "I. Um. I prefer my suit, I think."

"Alright, Lily, could you please give him his suit back." You felt like you were scolding a child.

Lily crossed her arms, "I dunno. I think I may have forgotten where it is."

"If I need to help Paris find it, then I won't be able to give you or Yumi any of the sweets I brought until its found."

"Ok, I'll go get it!" And Lily scrambled off.

Paris walked after her silently.

You went through your bag to uphold your end of the bargain, pulling out Circus Animals, cookies, and some flan pudding.

You also pulled out a box of hot hands. When you saw them, you thought of Paris. He seemed to get cold rather easily.

Once every one was comfortable in the living room, you made the sweets available. Lily immediately grabbed one of the puddings while Yumi opened one of the bags of circus animals.

You turned to look at Paris, who was just watching the girls enjoy their sweets, "Paris, do you feel cold often?"

"Hmm? Oh, its complicated. To put it simply, I am effected by the temperature, but I am a toy," He smiled to himself, "It doesn't effect me like it does you humans."

"I've seen you wear scarves before, though. Does the cold make you uncomfortable?"

"Yes, but it won't kill me," Paris narrowed his eyes at you, "Why are you asking me about this anyway?"

You put the box of hot hands on the table, "Do you know what these are?"

He sighed, "No, what are they?"

"These are Hot Hands. They're air activated heat pads."

Paris looked confused.

"Hold on, I'll get one out for you to figure out," You opened the box and took out a packet. Then you opened one of the compartments of the packet and tossed the Hot Hand in Paris's direction, "They can get pretty warm."

Paris looked up, eyes wide.

"Not warm enough to melt anything. It just might get uncomfortable."

"Oh, okay. So, there's no bad chemicals in these? They're safe?"

You. You almost forgot. He was around 80, wasn't he.

"It's safe. You won't kill anyone by having it out. Just don't open that little bag, and it is safe."

Lily snickered at Paris, and he glared back at her.

Yumi watched as they started to bicker before turning to you, "Can I have a hot hands?"

"Of course, here," You opened the other compartment, and gave her the little heat pad.

She smiled, "Thank you!"

While Paris and Lily continued to bicker about the safety of modern things, you started to consider making a cup of tea for everyone. Paris wouldn't be able to drink it, but you felt he might appreciate the heat and maybe the aroma. Was he able to smell? Oh well, you can ask him later.

You got up and went to the kitchen to make tea. Lily had gotten Paris started on how dangerous things from his time were, so you reckoned they wouldn't notice you making tea.

Yumi liked her green tea mildly sweet, and Lily always wanted more honey in her black tea. Paris never asked for tea, but maybe he'd enjoy some lavender tea? It is supposed to be relaxing. And doesn't it have a stronger aroma?

Lavender tea it is then.

After you made everyone else's tea, you made your own and returned to the living room with the mugs of tea.

Lily and Paris were still going on about how the times have changed while you put the tea down in front of their respective people.

Yumi looked up, "Thank you." She looked back over to Paris and interrupted his spiel about killer chemistry sets (that Ivan didn't even make) by giving him the mug you put in front of him, "Your tea is ready."

Paris did a double take, "I don't- I can't drink tea, why did someone make me tea?"

"I made it for you," You shrugged, " I don't know how much you'll enjoy it, but I thought you might like a cup of tea."

He frowned, "But I'm just a toy. I can't enjoy tea; I can't drink it," Paris looked down at his mug, "You just wasted a tea bag on me."

You chuckled, "Well, I think you feeling included is worth more than a tea bag. Don't worry about drinking it, me or Lily can drink it later."

His mouth clicked shut and he remained silent as he cradled the warm mug in his hands.

Lily shook her head and turned to you, "I was learning about so many things. Apparently old refrigerators could blow up."

"Oh good heavens. I'm so glad I wasn't alive for that."

She nodded, "Ditto. Anyways, where did you get these puddings, they're really good!"

"You know that green and white pharmacy on the corner? They have all sorts of stuff."

The conversation continued while Paris looked into his mug of tea. His mug of tea. That you made. For him. Even though you knew he couldn't drink it. You said he was worth it. But was he? Paris couldn't taste the tea. It smelled wonderful though. And it was quite warm.

This was nice. You were nice. Maybe. Maybe he would make himself tea in the future.

His reflection in the goldish brown liquid smiled back at him.

[lollitree]

Your tags under the pokemon poll are SO TRUEE and it hurts how many people dont understand that

I grew up in the change from pixel art to 3D and have nostalgia for bw, xy AND sm. So i think because of that, I can see the good and bad in all the games but don't feel like any of them 'peaked''. They're all different games, so they are really hard to compare.

On a related note tho, its so sad to see so many fans praise one of my childhood games and not the others. And like, I get it because gen 5 is more similar to what they grew up with.....but every time I say I love xy, sm and even swsh i get told they are terrible and usually imply that I shouldnt like them :/

That only happens online, though......irl all the fans ive met, no matter their ages, just say something like 'i didnt like it, but i'm glad you did!'. Growing up in irl fan spaces and having to move online during corona was AN EXPERIENCE omg

Yeah! It's super interesting how much we are affected by nostaglia.

There's usually a pattern you can notice with this stuff too. There are two lines that go up as time goes on. The one everyone talks about as being great and the newer one people hate on, usually to do with nostalgia of the now older original audience of the game.

My full reply got long so putting it under a read more skfjsh

My first Pokemon game was Colosseum, so gen 2/3 pokemon and gen 3 sound effects are pretty nostalgic to me.

Then I grew up mostly playing Diamond/Platinum/PMD2/Ranger2. I LOVED Team Galactic. I restarted the games so many times just so I could play through the story again with Cyrus and the Galactic Grunt theme. (I have also played through pmd2 many many times). I remember in my early teens seeing people on the internet hating on DPPt a lot and it making me sad. I recall someone saying that the gen 4 Pokemon sucked and I remember thinking "aw I guess they're right, some of these pokemon are really boring or annoying" and then I learned later that the pokemon I was thinking of were all gen 1 pokemon sdfkjsh

Gen 5 was hated when it first came out because it wasn't very fun for new players. I bet it also didn't help that the advertising for B2W2 was pretty poor and also came out after the 3DS did. I didn't even know it was a sequel until years later. That's why they went in the complete opposite direction for gen 6, and added gimmicks!

I have heard multiple people call the designs from gen 5 horrible over the years (And they're all wrong). Those comments are nowhere NEAR as frequent now, but they almost always come from people with nostalgia for the ones they grew up with.

I was 13 when BW first came out. I think I've only beaten it once, MAYBE twice. I'm not entirely sure why, because I was still replaying DPPt a lot. I would guess it's because the game is super linear in terms of gameplay and every playthrough will start exactly the same. You don't really get to make decisions on your team and how you play until later. Kid me loved the beginning of the main pokemon games the most because they were the most fun bits to play usually. So I suppose when you've already played it once, the beginning becomes quite boring.

And to compare. I did not like XY when it first came out. I was 16 and very against change and also my fav types at the time were dark and dragon so fairy type was the worst thing ever. I said previously that I really liked Team Galactic, so Team Flare was just a bootleg version of them to me. BUT I did immediately replay the game when I finished it. The character customisation plus the huge dex gives the game a lot of replayability. Because while I didn't like a lot about the game it was still fun to play, and it was the first time online was really accessible to me. I went back to 2013/2014 on my blog and there's SO much positivity about the game it's amazing! Over time people only remembered the bad parts and started hating it. I bet there'll be an influx of nostalgia for it before long. We can even see it in the hope people have for SV having Kalos DLC.

I need to replay sun/moon or play USUM because in my brain currently it sucks. But I'm very aware that that's because I only played it once, it's been years, and I played it when I started to grow out of Pokemon. So I'm excited to play it again now that I can appreciate it better. (Also the Sun/Moon anime is my fav so I have a lot of love for the characters now)

And finally, I loved SWSH! I didn't finish it the first time I tried to play it. Mostly because I spent HOURS trying to get a shiny hatenna before doing the fire gym skdfjhs. But then I SPED through the game with a bug type only run before Legends came out and I really enjoyed the story! One of those things that's more enjoyable if you're only focused on enjoying the story (and playing the game through with a joltik as the lead and trying to make sure they stay strong enough to beat the game with pfft) Also Leon was the first ever Champion I actually thought was cool and enjoyed seeing while playing the game (as ridiculous as his outfit is)

If I were to logically plot out the best for me based on how nostalgia works and taking into consideration that public opinion ABSOLUTELY influences me. I would have said BW was the best and XY(or SM) was the downfall, even though I had way more fun playing XY than BW as a kid

I would actually love an opportunity to replay the story of the Grand Order arc with the servants and knowledge of fate that i have now.

But mostly I would love to beat the fuck outta Goetia with The Biggest Man Himself: Ivan the Terrible
