these are never three sentences bc i'm not creative enough for that hahaha but thanks for the request anon! <3
---
Most wouldn't describe the rainforest environment as ideal for cuddling. Tolerating another's body heat was a hassle when under high temperatures and the humidity often made skin-to-skin contact a sticky and sweaty ordeal. Despite all this, Tighnari didn't mind cuddling with Cyno. Maybe it was because of the way he'd nuzzle his face into the back of his head, or the gentle feeling of Cyno's fingers trailing down his arm, but Tighnari was willing to put up with grueling conditions just for Cyno. There was always just one problem, however..
"Tighnaharihihi!"
"Ah, sorry," he mumbled, having been jolted out of the daze he was currently enjoying. He craned his neck to look at the other behind him, just barely catching a glimpse of the smile that accompanied Cyno's laugh. "I just can't help it sometimes. It's not my fault I was born with a fluffy tail."
"And it's not my fault I might be.. a little sensitive." The subtle hesitation in his voice did not go unnoticed. "Just don't move your tail so much."
"Alright, I'll try."
But why do that when Tighnari could enjoy the sound of Cyno's laughter instead? By now, the sound of Cyno's breathing had reverted to its steady form, easy pickings should Tighnari allow those impish thoughts to win over. His laughter would complement the pitter-patter of the rain outside nicely, Tighnari imagined...
"Ah-! Hehehey! Stop! You're doing it again!"
Tighnari giggled to himself when he felt Cyno grab at his tail. "Sorry, I just couldn't help myself," he admitted, chuckling when all he received was silence. What exactly was stopping him from making a few discreet swipes to Cyno's bare tummy? It was so easy, after all.
Before he could even think about pulling the same trick, though, Tighnari suddenly felt Cyno's legs cross over his own, before he was pulled in tighter by Cyno's arms, effectively trapping him against the other's body. He barely had time to react before Cyno's hands made their presence known at his own stomach, effectively sending Tighnari into a squealing fit.
"W-Wahahahit! CynohOHOhoho!"
"See?" Cyno chided him, digging into the soft skin with just two fingers. "Not very fun when you're on the receiving end."
Tighnari uselessly banged his balled-up hands against Cyno's arms in an effort to have the other release him, but it was all for naught. His legs pinned by Cyno's own meant that he couldn't even try to kick free and at this point, all Tighnari could do was throw his head back against Cyno's chest and let his laughter flow freely, face flushed as he endured the consequences of his own actions. It didn't help that the light drizzle of rain from before seemed to have come to a halt, effectively amplifying the sound of his laughter for all of Gandharva Ville to hear.
"Okahahay! SohoHOHOHorry! I'm sohohohorry!"
"Promise?"
"PromihiHIhise!"
Cyno's tickling didn't let up immediately, but he did loosen his grip, allowing Tighnari to effectively push himself away and escape the tickling, rolling off the bed and standing at the side, huffing with annoyance as he looked down at the other, ears flattened with embarrassment.
"You were the one that started it," Cyno said with a straight face, though Tighnari could feel the slight tease to his voice.
"Fine, fine, let's call a truce," Tighnari admitted reluctantly. He watched as Cyno patted the empty spot on the bed, beckoning for the forest range to come back. With an audible sigh, Tighnari hopped back into the bed, feeling Cyno's arms embrace him once more, this time with his fluffy tail out of reach of Cyno's stomach.

metamorphosis. yes there's a man transforming into a literal monster and yes it's about sam's descent into demon blood freak monsterhood but to me, above all, it's the episode in which dean's controlling codependency takes a monstrous turn.
he's petty and he's jealous and he's violent and he hits sam for lying and he hits sam again for talking back and he's trashing the motel room and he's the image of an abuser. dean is threatening to leave sam and to hunt sam and they both know he's not going to do either (i can't escape you, you can't escape me). there's dark fury and despair and panic in dean's eyes because sam (in tears, bleeding, taking it) is becoming more than he can control.
sam says "this blood, it's not in you the way it's in me" and dean can't fucking stand it. he immediately tries to write himself into this, sam's not doing this alone. that's his brother, his blood, how dare he go there. their blood not being the same is the gravest, most personal insult to dean.
sam says "i'm not doing it for you" and "this is my choice" and dean cannot STAND IT. sam still craves autonomy and dean STILL. CAN'T. STAND. IT.

[Trigun OC]
Team "would rather die than admit something's bothering them"
So for the first good chunk of their relationship, Bad Luck and Vash were more "fucking" than "dating". Bad Luck was really apprehensive about romantic entanglements, and had been taken advantage of by a friend, in the past. (While not THE reason he was kicked out of his community, it was definitely related.)
However, Vash-- aware of Luck's hesitance but not of the reasons why-- already had a little bit of a crush on him. So when Luck stupidly offered a FWB situation, Vash accepted, thinking he could be chill about it. He quickly realized, no, he could NOT be chill about it, and spent the next few months relentlessly pining and feeling guilty and wanting to broach the subject, but never saying anything.
Eventually, Vash's crush gets revealed, and by that point Bad Luck has kinda fallen in love with him and they get together and Bad Luck insists that it's all fine, water under the bridge. Truthfully, though, he feels a little betrayed, and has this sense of "why the fuck would you think that's a good idea" towards Vash, hanging over his head. But he also thinks he has no place feeling this way because he never told Vash why he was so hesitant (and still hasn't), and also he does love Vash now anyway, so there's really no point bringing this up now and messing with the status quo, right?
And that's just the beginning of their relationship. There's a whole bunch of other plot-related problems they never talk about until after things boil over. Eventually, they'll get their acts together and talk through everything, I promise. Eventually. It just, might take until after the plot's fully resolved for them to get there.

Is it true that there's no animosity between you and... you know, you know who. You never talk about her in any way. I guess I'm curious. You guys seemed like really close friends and then just weren't friends at all. And there was some stuff she said that seemed very targeted at you...
I don't know if she feels any animosity toward me or not any more. Our mutual friends have said she doesn't and I take them on their word in that regard, assuming that if they have an answer for me it's because they're aware how she feels. I wouldn't know and it's not my place to put words in her mouth.
I haven't spoken to her/about her in a long time and the only time she even crosses my mind is when people bring her up to me. As for me feeling any animosity? I'll admit my feelings on her these days are complicated and way too nuance-core for people who aren't my friends to hear about but I wouldn't call them animosity in any way. I inherently want people my friends care about to live well because I care about my friends, and anyone my friends care about by proxy and I still share friends with her. I would never wish ill on people my friends care about so animosity doesn't fit into that by definition. I'd say I'm hurt more than anything and even then I've worked through a lot of it with trusted friends who have helped me deal with my emotions in a healthy way.
(Besides, my own life struggles keep me from even being able to invest time into animosity. I have to expend that energy loving my family, doing my best to support them during our struggles. And I've never been a hateful person it isn't in me. I would rather play 'Hot To Go' by Chappell Roan and teach my dad how to do the hand gestures to help him strengthen his muscles again than focus on hating anyone...)
I try not to think about her because it hurts. I often think that people forget that I'm a real person outside of her sphere, and that I wouldn't want to talk about what happened because I truly did consider her a friend for a long time. And when someone I consider a friend appears to not regard me with care any more suddenly and I don't even have closure on that... well... it hurts... A lot. Of course I never talk about it.
And I'm not stupid, I have seen some stuff she's said that I've gathered was about me. I remind myself that she has a right to vent in her own spaces and I truly mean that... it's just a shame that her own spaces have people who then have taken these things to me to show me (after all, I wouldn't have even seen these things myself if not for third-party anons going 'this u?') saying it is my own fault because I was a terribly cruel friend or my own fault for not listening to warnings about her when I had the chance and that makes me a stupid gullible bitch. You lot haven't seen some of the awful shit about me from some of her more ravenous fans and haters I've seen over the years that I've had to let roll off my back in the fear it would bring backlash - not even to me, to her. I don't want to be the cause of any hatred going to anyone.
Also I'm just not going to ever talk about the details of our fallen friendship or our fallen relationship. That's private. She might be a public person to some extent but I never was, even if I do gain some measure of small fandom for my work one day I'm just private about personal matters especially raw ones. I almost deleted this ask entirely but Idk I never stated that it bothers me when people talk to me about her from my own mouth, so I guess that's what this ramble is.
If you send me anything about Lily Orchard it will not be addressed. I am not a part of her life not even through our mutual friends. I do not know or care what's going on with her public/personal life. I haven't kept up. I will never keep up. Don't treat me as an extension of the situation because I am not in the situation. In the most plainly stated sense of the word: Leave me the Hell alone. (...pretty please.)
All I've wanted this entire time was to be left alone to process everything in a healthy, peaceful way. I'm workin' on it.

the practice of taking multiple names... i do wish it was a bit more supported in places like the united states. i love my family name, my family means the world to me,
but there's also the last name of berri that i'd love to take. it was the second name that stuck with me after "mira", and i've nicknamed myself "miraberri" in a lot of things over the past year i've had it...
...i suppose the other trouble is that i've already changed my legal name once, and so now i'd have to pay for it to be changed again... ahh, the wonders of capitalism and rigid social systems.
wouldn't it be nice if we lived in a society that embraced Change?
that freely allowed, even encouraged changing oneself? embracing the fact that everything will change eventually, and must do so for things to not become stagnant?
that some things might not be right as they are, despite the state of things being comfortable for many people? that the status quo, or our time-honored traditions, aren't infallible, perfect concepts?
i guess the idea is too much for some people to understand.
maybe some day, that'll change, too.
