#and as a problem that needs to be fixed

Ship in a Bottle / The Tulpar

(explanation in tags)

A ship in a bottle

Throttle the neck

And shake back and forth

Put a cork in the mouth

The captain hesitates

The warning signs scream

The screens are all dripping

And glistening red

A ship in a bottle

The air is hissing

Bleeding from seams

While the engine keeps quiet

There's something itching

At the base of the skull

The skin has been flayed

The hull is not breeched

A ship in a bottle

The Rot is a-coming

Clean the wound

And replace the gauze

Take your pills, captain

Swallow them down

I know its not easy

I hope know this hurts

A ship in a bottle

The cargo hold opened

Like an egg cracked

An embryo expelled

Captain, my captain

You knew this would happen

You knew I would falter

On the rungs of the ladder

Ship in a bottle

The crew are all floating

Turn the pistons

Keep feeding the engine

Swallow it, captain

The fuel that I give you

The only thing pure

On this infested vessel

A ship in a bottle

A rotting carcass

Foam, like pus

Leaks through the tissue

It looks at me, captain

The ship, it keeps staring

Unblinking, unmoving

One bloodshot eye, judging

yes, doctors suck, but also "the medical ethics and patient interaction training doctors receive reinforces ableism" and "the hyper competitive medical school application process roots out the poor, the disabled, and those who would diversify the field" and "anti-establishment sentiment gets applications rejected and promotions requests denied, weeding out the doctors on our side" and "the gruesome nature of the job and the complete lack of mental health support for medical practitioners breeds apathy towards patients" and "insurance companies often define treatment solely on a cost-analysis basis" and "doctors take on such overwhelming student loan debt they have no choice but to pursue high paying jobs at the expense of their morals" are all also true

none of this absolves doctors of the truly horrendous things they say and do to patients, but it's important to acknowledge that rather than every doctor being coincidentally a bad person, there is something specific about this field and career path that gives rise to such high prevalence of ableist attitudes

and I WILL elaborate happily

Hey, man, we all can't be like you -- I wish we were all rose-colored too

{Rose-Colored Boy - Paramore}

Smashing this song and my headcanon that Dash's dad is in the GIW together to make a fic Idea where the GIW finds out Danny's identity and tells on him to his parents in their hunt for phantom --

Dash's dad leads the operation, him and his team (along with the Fenton parents) cornering Danny after school while he's hiding/running away from Dash, forcing transform in order to get away; unbeknownst to either party, Dash witnesses everything and runs after Phantom to try and help.

Que the two stumbling into and getting trapped in the ghost zone in a confused scuffle while Danny's trying to escape, now on the run from three (3) parents and one (1) secret government organization.

- - - - - - - - - -

I kinda wanna use this premise to explore how Dash would progress through learning Phantom is Danny, and then (separately!) becoming a better person--

-- I think he'd be super annoying about it at first; idolizing Danny, pestering him a bunch about how cool it is to have ghost powers, generally acting way too close with him, and completely pushing aside how he treated Danny before the revelation.

Most of the situations we see Dash become friendly towards/respectful of Danny in-show are usually after Danny has shown himself to be physically strong/confident (see: Pirate Radio), and even then, Dash doesn't proceed to do any introspection at all and continues to bully him.

Conclusion: Learning Phantom = Danny would not be enough to trigger a redemption arc for Dash. This boy needs to learn some empathy.

Dash actively witnessing Danny having issues despite being powerful as Phantom (i.e. fearing and having to run from his parents, the toll fighting ghosts takes on his school/life/mental health, etc.), as well as being confronted with how privileged he is himself (having a loving, attentive family, being much better off financially, etc.) would force him into being more introspective.

Throw in him realizing the parallel between how the GIW treats Phantom with how he treats Danny (i.e. indiscriminate & unreasonable anger & violence), and -boom!- it clicks for him

I really wish that the BL industry would stop pandering so much to cishet viewers. Pushing heteronormativity so much that the actors/characters can't even switch from series to series.

In the bts for the ThamePo finale when they were filming the final scene where Thame and Po walk back into Po's room, Est jokingly talked about Po carrying Thame into the bedroom, he even picked William up to carry him but the staff said "wrong positions" and "it'll confuse the viewers" ... no viewers that actually know anything about queer relationships would be confused.

Something I liked about The Heart Killers was that Kant was the top and Bison was the bottom but Kant was the submissive one while Bison was dominant.

And in Jack & Joker they clearly showed that they're verse because they both tried to be the top and Jack implied that Joke could top next time.

We need to see more versatility in BLs. Less fixed positions, let them be switches and verse (or hell more characters that are Sides, someone who doesn’t like to top or bottom). Just something else other than the heteronormative roles that are constantly pushed on queer relationships. We get enough of that in real life, I'd like for these queer shows to not cater to the cishet audience.

Arlecchino is the Nr. 1 yearner of the country and that doesn’t even do her justice. That woman will be putting you through the mattress after a tiring day, nails digging into the soft muscles on your ass as the bed just slams against the wall with each time her hips meet yours in an almost animalistic rhythm. She just missed you so much, she couldn’t help herself. She‘s grown tired of her hand long ago, it‘s just not the same as your walls tightening around her length, welcoming her so dearly as she ruts into her beloved wife as if it were but a lifesaving task. As if she could somehow fuck the curse flowing through her veins right out with you.

It‘s the only time where the Knave allows herself to voice her desperation by soft mewls and almost agonizing moans of your name as her hand gets a hold of the headboard and now she‘s really showing you a way to poundtown. She just couldn’t get enough of this. Of those beautiful tears clumping your lashes together, the sweat lending your body a beautiful glow underneath the soft moonlight as her abdomen grows boneless yet once again before you feel her seed filling your already stuffed cunt. Her body shivering in pleasure just like your legs can’t seem to stop kicking from this bolt of ecstasy shooting down your spine over and over again. The remains of her high would slowly ooze out of the sides where her sensitive shaft meets your opening, your just that full of her when her dick looses its hardness inside of you, unlike the hungry glow in those crimson x‘s mustering your fucked figure.

She always wondered what a cum-stuffed pussy tasted like anyways.

Your interpretation of Hector talking with Bauhauzzo post-game (if you can see that happening) would be neat!!

i feel like poolverine easily could’ve been one of those “they’re flirty but it’s mostly unserious” situations, and for most of the movie yeah they were extremely gay, but wade’s been like that with other guys and it was never treated as a serious type of relationship before. they’re willing to die for each other, but even then the romantic aspect of their relationship could be glossed over because it’s a superhero movie, that’s just what they do, and they’re working together to save a whole timeline—it’s not just about them. but then the movie doesn’t end with them saving the day and moving on. i think this’s really the part that sells poolverine as a genuine relationship to me… logan’s leaving, and wade calls for him. he can’t stand to let him go. then he introduces him to his family, and logan stays. he doesn’t really need to stay, but they’ve both decided they’re better off with one another than without

wanted to play with how blaze would fit into stc, so I finally got around to watching a longplay of sonic rush. i hated it. the writing made me so mad. so here's a couple fleetway blaze doodles and a LOT of "here's how i would fix this story" doodles

Raph needs multiple brothers because with just Mikey there is only Baby Brother. With Donnie there is at least Little Brother. But when you add Leo in there and you get Younger Brother, who is also a Little Shit and you can punt him like a football and he’ll just come back to do it again.

raph and leo cosmically need each other for emotional stability because raph needs a younger brother to affectionately kick around for fun and leo CANNOT be the oldest or he gets way too out of line he needs to be humbled. raph comically squashes leo with a hammer and he just bounces back up like a looney tunes character

[medicalunprofessional]

never change, man !

[inkskinned]

it mattered because when my brother asked me what if this is the happiest you'll ever be? the best you'll ever get? the thing i felt was fear, not peace. everybody thought you were so perfect for me. even i thought you were "helping me grow". i had to challenge every internal clock. make myself more thoughtful, more kind, more beautiful.

i told my therapist it was good because i like the changes i made and there's something so strong about saying i did that. the problem is that i can like the difference all i want, but i changed for you. something akin to getting your name tattooed, all my progress is stamped with fuck you.

it was the happiest i'd ever been and also the best i'd ever gotten. i would still get in the car and think what the fuck just happened.

[swimmingchicken9]
