Okay but fr I hope Dan and Phil don’t feel pressured to actually do a 25-day gamingmas bc that’s like. SO much work for them. They don’t need to upload every day leading up to Christmas. They can just do like 5 days or a week, but even then they don’t need to do that, that’s just if they wanna do some sort of gamingmas-type thing

I just want them to take care of themselves and not burn themselves out 😭

okay so because previous anons asked about sex, I wanna ask about aftercare, how they act after sex? oh and i’m curious how their sex life change after being together for a while

xoxo <3

their aftercare isn't always aftercare-101, if i'm honest. theo is very bad at it and doesn't really... ever... do that for matthias. and matthias may be very good at giving aftercare but theo is incredibly resistant to it. i mentioned earlier that theo really gets off on praise, but... he also flinches away from it. he's so twisted up about so much of what he wants and he's really, uh... well. he makes it really hard to get close to him and offer comfort despite how much he desires it. matthias can't say certain things without scaring theo off (and i mean, like, theo will quite literally run away), so he has to talk around what he wants to say and what theo needs to hear to prevent theo from bolting before he can bring him down.

matthias takes a long time cleaning theo up and massaging his muscles after, and he'll hum or talk to himself in polish so theo knows he's still there touching him (but isn't stirred before he comes to himself on his own by english he can understand). when he's finished, he'll ask theo very simple yes or no questions that let matthias know how theo's feeling without outright asking how he's feeling. he also checks on theo throughout the day, but he has to be even more subtle there or theo starts to feel smothered. is your body okay? do you want me to get you dressed? does your head hurt? do you want me to read to you? he focuses on asking about the physical and what theo wants to do rather than theo’s emotions. matthias has learned that asking if theo's feeling okay after is a quick way to trigger a very, very negative response in theo. it's one of the reasons why i think matthias is constantly asking theo in the heat of sex how he's feeling, because that's when theo is so preoccupied by the physical aspect that the emotional effects leak out without him fighting to keep them in. it takes a few months for theo to get comfortable with the feelings he has after sex with him before matthias can really give him proper aftercare. that’s why the sex they have early on is never anything too crazy. matthias coaxes theo into a better place first.

​i also think it’s important to clarify that it’s not like they’re always having kinky sex. still, theo usually needs physical touch after vanilla sex as well. matthias himself always craves conversation afterwards, so he waits for theo to stir awake (because he often falls asleep after sex) or come back into his body fully to talk to him.

as for changes to their sex life after they’ve been together for awhile… i believe i've talked about this before, but their sexual dynamic turns on its head after a few years. theo starts to take control of the reins and gets more comfortable asking for and doing what he wants. with theo he just has a lot holding him back and it's only after he's grown as a person and worked past a majority of his intimacy issues that he can act on the desires he's been burying waaay down. there's a sort of brattiness that theo starts to have a lot of fun with during sex—a lot of pushing and prodding, withholding, insulting... matthias is having the time of his life lmao, like he loves being challenged and pushed around. matthias takes on a more submissive role during sex as they age, which is fun for him. plus it's kind of the dynamic they've always had outside of sex anyway. of course, there are never any set roles in their sexual life so i'm not saying that it's always like that, but theo enjoys telling matthias what to do and how to do it. they have a lot of fun with it.

fic talk in the tags 💝

[maddy-ferguson]

i saw someone say they were hoping noah would apologize and it's just kinda fascinating to me...if he thought zionism was sexy on monday (or i guess on sunday probably and for many days and weeks before that) why would he suddenly think it's an awful ideology on friday?

[bravevolunteer]

so when are we gonna talk about mike jumping on his bed while struggling to tear down the poster because personally i think that was the highlight of the entire movie-

[vse-kar-vem]

how to write vent post title that does not come off as self-pitying and or accusatory (because it's NOT !)

Absolutely hate hate hate talking on the phone. It should be illegal.

Hate hate hate it 😭

I’m not tryna start discourse but y’all can use this post as the “I dislike the RWBY JL designs” opinion because I really don’t like them either.

Maybe it’s because it’s different? Idk. I’ve never had a problem with the change of outfits in RWBY but the JL versions are just so off to me.

[raidenloml]

hey guys i have so many oc ideas and i think you should start getting interested in their lore to force me to work on them more how cool would that be... (is so excited to work on the sillies but needs encouragement or will forget them entirely womp womp)

[coquelicoq]

I just want you to know that I so deeply cherish all your untamed and murderbot (and raksura) thoughts that I started reading ORV just so I can get MORE of your fandom thoughts. I wanna be able to understand your new posts!!

this is so sweet 😭 thank you i'm flattered!! there are some really fabulous posts in this fandom, so i'm excited for you to experience them! my own posts are fairly shallow because i haven't done a reread and the story is so long i already can't remember most of it haha, but the fandom seems pretty active on here so it's gonna be a while before i run out of other people's fanart and meta to reblog. standard disclaimer that you read orv at your own risk and i will not be held responsible for any feelings you may or may not experience in the course thereof. godspeed <3

Okay. My roommate’s bf that is moving in in a couple weeks brought his fucking dog over today and 😭 like ig it was well behaved but the cats hated it (and both my cats are already anxious messes I dread to think of how they’ll act/what they’ll do with a brand new big stressor added) and it fucking. It fucking REEKS like dog. Like yeah it’s a dog but I haven’t been around dogs in so long I forgot how much like dogs dogs smell and 😭😭 if it’s gonna be here that means my apartment and my things and my blankets and clothes are gonna start to smell like fucking dog and I’m fjfjdjsksk I don’t like this but I’ve also said a couple times I’m not happy about the dog thing and they’re both like “haha well! He’s a good dog” and I think they think I’m kinda being jokey about it but like. No. I don’t like the fucking dog and I don’t wanna live with a dog 😭 because even if it’s super well behaved and doesn’t bother me in a literal sense I will still have to deal with the inescapable consequence of Living With a Dog in the sense of it making my cats anxious/moody/angry and my apartment smelling like it and hfjdjdjdks I don’t know what to doooooo

[paintingformike]

lot of people in the st fandom misuse the term comphet...or maybe its just a tumblr issue in general

[leqclerc]

sorry for the incoming rant but italian tifosi on twitter are being weird about xavi again :/

i haven't watched it so i can't confirm, but apparently charles in his twitch stream said that – in addition to his family and andrea – the person he trusts the most is xavi (especially re: constructive criticism and hashing out mistakes), and some people are freaking tf out and being so mean

i really don't understand how people can't see that xavi is most times just the middle man between charles and whatever the hell goes on in the strategy pitwall's brains! also they're full on invalidating charles's feelings on the matter (and have been doing it for the whole last season/s too)?? people are so vocal about wanting his head but. he's not the real problem!! :/

Hello! Omg no don't be sorry, thank you for sending this in!! I love how I'm the Xavi protection squad on here asdfsdjfj 😤

Yes! Louder for the people in the back 👏🏻 People have really latched onto this idea that he's one of Ferrari's main issues and all the communication issues and strategic mishaps and poorly calculated pitstop problems would magically disappear, which...? Like you said, during the races he's mostly the messenger passing info from the pitwall to Charles and vice versa. He is not responsible for the strategy calls or tyre choices or anything like that.

I know they'd never do it because you'd be exposing way too much sensitive information but realistically a pitwall cam or something could shine a light on how these decisions are made and crucially who makes these calls, exactly. I'm curious to see how they portray the pitstop mishap in Monaco in DTS (the trailer showed some Ferrari pitwall footage, but I'm willing to bet that's just filler and we won't actually learn anything new from it.)

And you make a great point about people invalidating Charles's feelings and words just because it doesn't suit the narrative that Xavi must be awful and incompetent and stupid. Of course the dramatic radios stick in people's heads because they keep getting replayed and then confirmation bias does the rest. If Charles maintains they have a good working relationship and he trusts him with constructive criticism and hashing out mistakes then... I mean... that's a good thing? Shouldn't we be happy about that?

Xavi's very good at praising Charles for a job well done and tries to lift him up when things don't go their way. He's 110% on his side and it's obvious he wants to see him succeed. And I love watching them pull dummy calls on the Red Bulls 😤👏🏻

Yeah, they disagree sometimes. Charles sometimes gets upset over something or other. But like. So does every other driver? 🫠 It's not like Lewis has never snapped at Bono or vocally expressed his disgruntlement or disagreement over a pitwall call. Anyone remember Max yelling frantically at GP when he had that DRS issue? Getting a whole new race engineer to work with five seasons in, trying to build up that understanding and rapport and trust all over again... imo it would just unnecessarily make things harder for Charles, when Xavi's not even the root of the problem.

To summarize:
