‘potent,’ would be a good way to describe him, you think. Ajax is potent. not a thing he does is half-assed or without full dedication. if he wants to rule the world, he reasons, not a flaw should show for it. cooking, fighting, loving; he’s dedicated.

this shows in every way he grabs your hips. palms rough with callouses and nails bitten back enough you fear it hurts, Ajax grips the fat of your hips with greedy hands. he’s all teeth some nights, others he’s covered tongue; sheathed much like a blade. of all ways he can take you, none are without that same edge of disparity and skill. occasionally a weathered pocket watch appears, counting until he has you unraveling on his tongue or how long you last while he’s hilt deep. he’d make a scoreboard if you let him but, there’s no point. Ajax would be first, second, third, and consolation prize. an amalgamation of victories, really. his only competition is himself yet he’s always hellbent on outdoing; fruitless, in part. nonetheless, he fucks you with equal vigour as he loves, potent.

annie being terrified to venture too far beyond the ghost town that’s the victor’s wharf during her pregnancy, and especially once irvin is born. she has distant family still around, aunts and uncles and cousins, her sister’s angry, grieving husband and their young children - and she’s sure some of finnick’s relatives likely survived the fighting too. but, she can’t shake the fear that people will deem her unfit, that she shouldn’t have a child because of who she is. she already heard her fair share of it from capitol doctors when she had been there in the aftermath of everything - in thirteen they had been too pleased at the idea of having a new child added to their depleted ranks to deter her from going through the the pregnancy, though she’s certain they would have taken him from her as soon as he was born.

it takes her quite a while to feel comfortable enough to take irvin with her into the more populated areas of the four - in a lot of ways she was feeling as unmoored as she had been after her games. even then, she has a hard time letting him out of her sight.

me, adhd: *is talking at what i think is a normal volume for my situation but can honestly barely hear myself talk and can’t truly tell if i’m too loud or too quiet because of sensory input issues and is actually a little too loud.*

my brother, who i thought was neurotypical but he thinks he may be autistic and therefore may have low sensory limits/heightened reactions to sensory input: *is probably this close to sensory overload* “you. are. literally. screaming. right now.”

today in church one of the priests referred to trans people as "those who are growing into the gender they were called to be" and i'm kind of enjoying the idea of like....divinely ordained top surgery

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them

People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human

“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”

“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”

“Yeah!!”

“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”

“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“

“How illogical”

“That’s what I’m saying!!!”

Things I've seen tumblr memeing about James Somerton doing à la "How did no one see how bigoted he was!" as if those things haven't been a significant part of tumblr culture for over a decade :

Presenting untrue and bordering on conspiratorial versions of (queer or otherwise marginalised) history without any sources

Completely disregarding and disrespecting any expertise on socio-cultural topics/humanities and distrusting academics and historians (incl. acting as if no academics or historians could be queer or marginalised)

Downplaying the role misogyny played in the historical oppression of queer women and concluding that queer men must have been more oppressed than queer women

Bi women are, at best, not as queer as "real" queer ppl, and at worst, simply equivalent to straight women

Despite nominal trans inclusivity, transmasculine ppl are functionally women when convenient (combined with the above, bi transmascs are functionally straight women)

Despite nominal trans inclusivity (bis), shamelessly attacking, threatening and actively endangering any trans woman who questions them or smth they find important (often by unfairly presenting her as violent or as a threat)

Having absolutely fucking wild and reductive takes about ace ppl, the oppression they face and their place in the queer community

Stating that marriage equality is an assimilationist fight while completely ignoring its direct roots in the horrifying consequences of the AIDS crisis for partners of ppl who died of AIDS

Praising western media creators from the past for queer coding even under censure and in the same breath condemning current non western media creators for being homophobic bc their representation isn't explicit enough

Blaming China for all existing homophobic censoring in western media

Assuming all queer media would be better told by western creators and by western standards

Only out queer ppl get to tell queer stories

Heavily criticising almost all queer media created by women or ppl they see as such (see above points about trans ppl) or involving/starring a significant amount of women for any perceived or real amount of "problematicness", but fawning over and praising and negating criticism of queer media created by and starring mostly or even functionally exclusively men (even when it could be argued that, you know, not involving/seriously sidelining women is a pretty clear example of misogyny which should probably be considered "problematic")

And I'm probably forgetting stuff or there's stuff I have internalised myself and don't recognise as an issue

Like idk but I feel like the takeaway from Hbomberguy and Toddintheshadow's videos should maybe be "be aware of such patterns in your communities bc they definitely exist" and not "this guy is uniquely awful" and I feel like a lot of the discussion I've seen surrounding this has been severely failing at that. Most ppl who've spent any significant amount of time on tumblr prob either have internalised at least one of those thought patterns, have had to de-internalise them, or have had to be extremely vigilant to not internalise them (which is done by, you know, seeking out other sources, which also seemed like an important takeaway from the videos)
