#it’s rly good honey ok

[dreamofbecoming]

saw a tumblr post like a month ago about someone buying different flavors of creamed honey from an indigenous shop that was only on my dash bc it got derailed into something else my mutual thought was funny, but i went and found the shop anyway and now i’m sitting in bed eating blueberry honey straight out of the jar bc i can’t sleep and my head hurts so. happy destiel eve or whatever

[lorephobic]

FIC RECS

Ok so someone in my asks box asked me for some fic recommendations and I tried to add some gradually but my asks have been so weird recently so I've had to make a new post for them!

[fayesia]

Hiiiii, how are you today? I hope you're well and safe. I had an idea for mike I hope you don't mind. Imagine him being jealous of his own baby being breastfeed. Love your stories ❤

a/n: hello!! i’m doing very good, i hope the same things for u too:D i’m very happy to hear u enjoy my writing. Also i never expected my blog to contain things mostly abt mike schmidt but here we r, remember to send me any request (i’m trying to improve my smut writing so those types would be helpful but fluff is also fine!) and i will try get to them asap. hoping to be a lot better at this stuff once my holidays start in a week. ty for all the love so far, appreciating every single one of u beautiful individuals interacting w my account <3

fyi: this blurb will contain insinuations of sub!mikeschmidt, lactation kink, breeding kink (quick mention) baby will be referred to as “she” but rly whichever gender u prefer!!

You had finally finished putting your sweet baby to rest, as much as you loved the little bundle of joy, it was difficult for you both mentally and physically to keep up with the needs of her. finally having some peace and quiet you rested on the couch laying your head against Mikes shoulder while he gently rubbed your back knowing the aches you felt there. soft moans left your mouth as the feeling of relief swarmed through you, Mikes lips gliding across the skin of your neck, whispers of how beautiful and amazing of a mother you are reached your ears while you drifted into a peaceful rest.

This rest however, didn’t last long as you were soon awoken by your baby’s cries, Mike was fast asleep so you quietly padded your way to her rooms rocking her as you returned to the couch and began to breastfeed her. Mike woke up soon after silently watching you, later taking the baby to put back to sleep while you cleaned up.

“she didn’t drink enough, i don’t think she cried from hunger, god i’m so sore”

“it’s ok come here honey relax for me” Mike took your hands leading you back to the couch where he cuddled with you. He kissed your cheeks, lips and neck, hands moved to pull off your shirt. his kisses drew nearer to your sore breast where he latched onto a nipple.

He started sucking, moaning as your sweet milk filled his mouth, the liquid was like ambrosia to him, it got him more drunk than any alcohol. His ferocious sucking at your nipple was soothed by his tongue that lapped at any mess left over.

“god, don’t ever want you to stop producing milk, might just fuck a baby into you and get you pregnant all over again. Bet you’d want that huh?”

he exclaimed profanity’s while his hips thrusted against the side of your thigh where you felt a very hard erection forming.

“hmmm” you could barely respond, his actions against your leaking tits had you completely silenced, the only noise coming from you were quiet moans and pants as the area between your thighs became increasingly wetter. Mikes talk about impregnating you did nothing to cease the sensations, simply making your underwear even more soaked.

[malwaredykes]

ok. finished honest hearts. most of my inventory is plants and mushroom and Soups And Potions And Elixirs made from said plants and mushrooms. which is excellent.

the salt-upon-wounds confrontation was Tchruly garbo like. first of all they lit up ole josh before anyone even had the chance to say anything LOL that wasnt like Bad necessarily just rly funny. like yeah we can negotiate before anything breaks out *the camera pans to Jotchua Grams lifeless body on the pavement* but um second of all what the hell was that dialogue. "grrrr im gonna kill you" "[speech 75] no thats stupid. dont" "umm okei :) but i'll be back >:(" *runs away* Like. man. listen. throughout the entire dlc i Did Not want to be fighting all those white legs lol. i didnt know those people. you know i generally hate the Hostile By Default Irredeemable Canon Fodder Raiders crap and in this case its just especially egregious to me, with them being a Tribe and with me being some random ass normie strolling into the area getting instructed by the local white saviors. like, okay, since i Was getting involved, then if anyone deserved to Feel The Judgment Of Mine fall upon them it was in fact salt-upon-wounds with his track record of being a horrible fucking person. so i had to fight my way through all those white legs only for the Problem Guy to be like "Hm Okay. Deal. You Leave Forever And I Get To Live. Sounds Good. Sucker" like. fuck no. youre dead. this is for waking clouds husband how DARE you make my bald queen SAD

which btw i did encourage cloud to get mad at daniel for hiding that from her. like yeah girl dont take this shit from him. youre allowed to feel angry. who does he think he is. making decisions for the sorrows like youre all children. be mad at him. chase him out. tell him to never show his stinky mug around these parts. If You Want. ahh but then the ending slides said she forgave him.... well i suppose i have to respect her choice... but... cloud honey if you ever wanna team up and chase daniels stinky mug far away just give me a call

i also encouraged follows-chalk to go out there and experience the world outside... i really hated how he felt obligated to ask joshua permission, and how joshua was like Well 🥺 I wont tell him what to do but 🥺 Is it wise... I just worry about my foolish little lamb 🥺... like. Shut Uuuupppp.... chalk is an adult. i think. either way what do You know. jotchua. last time you ventured into The Civilized Lands (lol) you were a fucked up genocide army general so forgive me for thinking you might not have the most objective and up to date outlook here. Anyway. chalk come hang out sometime. come to the lucky 38. youll meet my epic swag friends and family. LOL bit of an aside but (mostly so i dont become insane because of the dlcs writing) i like to imagine that most of the time chalk expresses incredulity about some Civilized World Concept like gambling (-_-) or big dams or big weapons, hes literally fucking with you. like hes joking around. he used to mess with daniel and jotchua like that and now hes doing it with you. like Wow... How Strange... You Say It Is Called A... "Window".... 😂😂😂...

loving how the ending slides barely mentioned joshua also. like wtf happened to him. who knows. damn maybe he did die and i didnt even notice. im sorry jotchua. may your soul quickly find its way to NOWHERE lol #owned

final verdict: waking-cloud and follows-chalk are great, joshua graham is an extremely funny character, daniel is nothing to me, the area is cool, the plot is dumb as hell, the whole thing is racist, the quests are boring. 3/10

[hajihiko]

Idk if you were asked this yet but opinions on 10th anniversary outfits

Have not! Let's take it from the top!

Hajime: a good little boy. Aw he's holding a rose how sweet! Better be careful not to spill on that white tux (actually it's kinda cream.... meh....). Love that he has a green shirt it rly is his colour. 10/10 because he's my boy. (Outfit is like ... 6/10)

Nagito: very stylish! Oh I love the little ponytail so cute. Your bowtie is a little crooked honey get someone to fix that. 9/10 for bowtie embarrassment

Gundham: ..... it's a step down from his usual look tbh LMAO like it's nice but he always dresses so extravagant it's kind of anticlimactic! Purple and red, bleh. 6/10

Souda: ok he looks like a mad scientist but I kinda love it. Aposematic baby, look at him wearing glasses too! Character development! Wearing sneakers to a fancy party tho. Aw hes a little punk I cant be mad at it 7/10 +1 point for wearing something I'd love to wear myself

Impostor: look at this magnificent fucker. Idk about the suit on it's own I'm not a fan of navy blue but that COAT. The confidence. 8/10

Teru: I get the feeling its supposed to invoke ice cream or frosting thoughts but it just looks like he was splashed by a car. Cute hat but not cute enough. 3/10

Nekomaru: Double breasted jacket kinda giving off the General vibes he had as a despair, love the open shirt, but that's really not his colour. 5/10

Fuyuhiko: my baby boy you look like a little fucking grandpa. Are those pants from when you were 5??? Why olive. 5/10 wait I just realized this is the perfect height chart right?? Oh my god hes so small hes literally underneath Nekomaru's breast bone

Akane: AMAZING SHOWSTOPPING ETC ETC take it home Akane you win. So classy look at her. 10/10 + another 10 i wanna draw her.

Chiaki: cute! Kinda giving 13-year-old school dance tho? Mmm not much to say but it's not bad 6/10

Sonia: very glam! Love the hair decor good motion in the flow of the dress details, kind of mermaidy. Maybe a little too extravagant for my tastes. 8/10

Hiyoko: ok kinda adorable. Sweet colour scheme and nice silhouette. 7/10

Mahiru: actually really good! I thought shed be wearing something more plain but she dressed REAL nice. The accessories look great. 9/10

Mikan: ... sweetie who made you wear this. Did you wear this yourself. OH I thought the hat was like a pig face... not as bad now but still.... 3/10

ibuki: there is a LOT going on but tbh props to sticking to her brand and colours. Bi rights! 5/10 +1 for authenticity

Peko: shenlooks nice buuut.... idk I think she needs a bit more pop? The loud pattern + lack of colour is confusing my eyes. 4/10

[autisticempathydaemon]

your match-up game looks like so much funnn so i'm gonna submit one for myself 💖

dragula by rob zombie …. i only rly discovered it like two weeks ago but it’s one i play a lot while working bc for some reason it helps me focus lol

just took a test and got nine, the peacemaker. idk much abt enneagrams 🫣

hmm yes but only when i’m feeling spicy. and they’re almost always about video games in some regard, like analyses or creepypasta deep dives yk?

i don’t think i ever had a REAL imaginary friend. i remember trying for a little while because i thought it’s what all kids were supposed to do, but i never like. Believed in it

sleep aid audios! lately it’s been redacted (i have a whole folder of faves on my phone lol) but before that it was asmrtists like gibi. sometimes i take melatonin too ‘cause it takes me ages to fall asleep 😪

i changed my name around late 2019 to angel when i was just coming into my nonbinary-ness; i took it from the video game borderlands 2! i went back to my given name in 2021/2022 but being angel was fun for a while <3

milo’s panic attack audio i think. i was just getting into redacted and starting from the top and it just made me feel so cozy and locked him in as a fave :’) OOH also the pack smash tournament!! i love multi-speaker videos and that one was so much fun

vincent ……. i’m so sorry i’ve tried three times to listen to his playlist but he bores me 😭 the farthest i’ve gotten is past adam, though i listened to his involvement in inversion and picked up with him after the summit

do video games count bc if so i can quote resident evil 4 2005 ALLLL DAY LONG it’s my favorite game ever. if not i’m gonna say lilo and stitch ‘cause that’s my biggest comfort movie

 HUXLEY. like dgmw i love his non-canon audios & he’d be just the sweetest boyfriend but i want to be his friend so baadlyyy i just need one good huxley hug and i think it would cure me

nooo when i’m sleepy i just get quiet 🫠 i’m not a big talker in general i think

blue raspberry slushie + honey bun OR dr pepper + chili cheese fritos. depends on my mood

recently ummm it’s been a playlist i made called violent devotion, which is basically just yandere-type songs hehe

aw man ok. so i was a big homestuck fan in my teens and i rly loved broadway karkat, & last week i discovered all my faves are on spotify :’) so i made a playlist of them and spent all weekend revisiting my past

HMM okay here’s some rapid fire facts: i’m the eldest of three, i’m a dog person, i’m an introvert,  i can be very stubborn (taurus 👋🏻), i tend to prefer video games over tv/movies, and overall personality-wise i relate the most to honey out of all the listeners!

So I consider a lot of factors when I do these, I swear I do. That said- you’re a Honey-kinnie but also a dog person? Who else can I pair you with but Asher?

Your personality types, in addition to your being an eldest child, hint to me that you’re a steadfast, reliable person and therefore an excellent foil to Asher who could use someone like that in his life to ground him. In contrast, I think his extroverted, bubbly nature would bring you out of your shell, endear you to the rest of the pack as the beta’s mate. Also, I think your love of video games and homestuck would really bring y’all together. (Out of all the boys, he’s deffo the most likely to be a homestuck.)

You’d have such a fun, chill life together, because Asher keeps it fun and chill, you know? I think Asher spends a lot of time wolfed out and with his big, dog head on your lap while you play video games. He jumps during the scary games and shifts back during co-ops so he can play with you. He comes home from a gig with either a honey bun or Fritos, because he wasn’t sure what the vibe was today, so he’ll eat whichever one you don’t want. You do 7/11 snack runs and compete to see who has the bluest tongue. It’s a great life.

Song:

Ooh, I'm in love/ It's a mystery/ When I see you out at night/ I start to get dizzy/ Before I see you I pick out some things to say/ Don't want to sound foolish and waste my chance away/ Oh, I'm not gonna make the same mistakes/ I'm not gonna run/ Just pick the boy you like

This song is peak Asher-vibes; do you know what I mean? Like, I think this is the kind of music he’d like, this sort of alternative indie pop rock sound. (Side note, the guitarist’s name is literally Darlin, so that’s a sign right there.) This song in particular is so fun and catchy; I can see Asher singing this at you incessantly no matter how long he’s already been your boyfriend.

Runner-ups:

Milo is a runner-up because you’re a dog person /hj It’s also because I would kill to watch him watch you play RE4 or any other horror game- that would be hilarious. Guy is another runner-up because, behind Asher, he’s the second most likely to have had a homestuck phase.

Read this post and send me an ask if you’d like a match-up of your own! 💌

[redactedwriting]

I think this got covered on one of the other blogs but I want your take on the FOB guys and what pet names they would use (based on the “pretty girl” ask from yesterday)

YEAHHHHH LOVE ME SOME HC TIME! I LOVE WRITING HEADCANONS!!!

andy: ok so i think he uses babe as the main one. simple, sweet. i think he’d also call you lover <3 like “cmon lover, let’s go” or “there’s my lover <3” type stuff. he’d also like the possession stuff of “my girl/boy/etc” but he doesn’t rly use that outside of sex.

pete: BABY. he uses baby. he also fuckin. if u r okay with it, he calls you mama. like “lookin good, mama :)” not in a mommy kink way, but just, like! yknow! you know what i mean lmao. it’s in a sweet way. he also uses “pretty girl/boy/etc” and “honey”. he’d also have dorkass names he’d come up with for you. like how patrick is cookie jar. that rly rly sweet dumb fuckin shit. ugh.

joe: he uses sweetheart. he also uses darling and baby. i think he’d also use bub. and variations of your actual name, kinda like how pets have their legal name and then we have their Other Names. (my dogs name is barbie and i have called her booger face from the second i adopted her bc she had eye boogers at the shelter <3 i also call her bubbagub, for some reason).

patrick: he’s uses honey and love as the big ones. also i think he’d call you sugar when he’s trying to be stupid and jokey but also lowkey sexy and it works. every time. he’d also like the possessive ones but he uses them outside of just sex, like if he’s talking about you to friends you’re either your name or “my girl/boy/etc”. and if he’s introducing you, it’s “this is (name), (hes/shes/pronoun) my girl/boy/etc”.

[colorfuldragons]

[picnokinesis]

Taka!! Hello!! I saw you have watched Wolf and I’m curious about your thoughts on it ?! I loved it so much tbh, cause I started watching it for Sacha but I ended up finding the plot and the rest of the characters rly compelling too :D

SKSKSK harsh cut to footage of me specifically reblogging wolf posts from your blog to coax you into my askbox as an internet version of Molina's homemade deer trap -

BUT YES HELLO oh my days it was so much fun, right? I also definitely started watching it for sacha, and - okay well, let's put all the spoilers under the cut

SKSKS so. Came for Sacha. Stayed for Sacha.......and then watched the last 30 minutes because I wanted to know the answers (SKSK BUT ALSO his...CORPSE was on the floor in all the important scenes so y'know! He was still there in spirit)

But MAN wow did sacha and iwan steal the show, right?? They were absolutely AMAZING! Absolutely killing it, made me crack up multiple times they were just...literally the best duo. And man the twist at the end of episode five just GRABBED ME because wow, I really should have seen it coming and it was the best kind of twist where it suddenly made everything Molina had been doing make sense. And like - man, I'm just in awe of Sacha's acting, yknow? The guy acted his SOCKS off in this, like right from the first episode, you know that scene where they reveal that he is. not in fact a police officer SKKSKS but it's like the spyfall reveal, right? the mask drop. only, unlike in spyfall, this isn't sudden - it's a slow ramp-up of something being very wrong with this guy, gradually becoming more and more unhinged, and Sacha just NAILED it. Absolutely phenomenal. And then the way they just added so much DEPTH to his character augh, I wanted him to get out of the whole thing SO BAD even though I knew it was super unlikely. But augh by episode 5 he was SO nervous and paranoid, and then he just spent the first half of episode 6 just.....so palpably terrified?? Augh. Love him. So sad he got stabbed in the neck rip but he made up for it by having the most incredible dialogue with molina for five episodes straight skskks (i'm still losing it over 'you're not going to shower?? ....you handled intenstines today' SKSKSKSK like. ok real talk when I first saw the trailer for wolf I immediately came up with au6, yet another campervan au, which I will probably do not much with but SKSKKS the vibes were there in the series and it was a DELIGHT)

With regards to the rest of the story, it was super interesting, right? I feel like you possibly enjoyed it slightly more than I did (I was like. semi-frequently getting extremely annoyed at the random sexual content that seemed wildly tonally dissonant 80% of the time - I was SO SALTY that Sacha's opera lipsynch of our dreams with a SWORD was intercut with. that. and then also Jack's tendency to just like. physically assault people as a method of questioning like BOY that is. that is a CRIME sir. I know you're desperate for justice but do not boyo. But that's kind of a recurring pet peeve I have with crime shows as a rule sksksk). That said though - I did REALLY love Jack, and guh the stuff with his neighbour was SO creepy (LIKE THOSE WEREN'T NIGHTMARES??? HELLO???????) and maaaaaaaaan the stuff with the donkey pitch was so messed up and creepy. It was really good though. I did feel a bit like...'eh' on the end reveal about who the Donkey Pitch murderers were - that was probably in part because Honey had just died RIP but also hmmm idk, like obviously Molina was one of them, but I feel like I kinda wanted more on who Molina actually WAS, other than just some person Lucia knew from when she was in psychiatric care? Like my running theory the whole time had been that he was actually Theo, Hugo's older brother, simply because he looked a heck of a lot like Hugo skksks and it had just been an interesting throw-away line from Hugo's dad that didn't really go anywhere. I think also the twist with Lucia rang a bit hollow to me simply because the twist with Molina had been SO satisfying because it made all these little weird things make sense and I felt like I SHOULD have known (especially after honey and matilda's scene where they talk about letting people think they're more stupid than they are), but with Lucia (at least, for me personally) it felt a bit more out of the blue. But it was good, don't get me wrong - the stuff with her, hugo and sophie made a lot of sense and maaaaaaaaan that was so dark. And then I REALLY loved the ending for Jack, like the decision to not reveal what actually happened at the donkey pitch, and him finding out that stuff about his brother and then burning the treehouse and FINALLY getting some control back over the whole thing.........BUT THEN INTERCUT WITH THE REVEAL THAT HIS BROTHER HAD BEEN ALIVE?????? LIKE????????? AHHH??? That was SO well done.

Anyway. Show good. I enjoyed. There was actually a lot of things narratively and thematically that I particularly enjoyed - like even though the two storylines felt quite disparate at times, there were so many things connecting them or echoing between them! Off the top of my head, it's things like the idea of people being in your house and doing stuff when you're asleep - like with Penderecki but also how Molina and Lucia did that too with Sophie and Hugo. And then how like, Matilda tries to break that bathroom mirror to escape, and then Jack and Lincoln are escaping in a, uh. Different way and they DO break a bathroom mirror. Stuff like that. There were definitely more than that but I can't remember them right now, but it was like....idk the way that they echoed between each other gave it an internal resonance which made it very satisfying to watch (and is actually the same technique I've tried to use in campervan part 6, which is possibly why it appealed to me so much!). I also really liked the repeated use of mirrors and mirror shots - I feel like that was trying to say something too but I haven't quite untangled it yet. But yeah! Fun times.

[symptoms-syndrome]

24 and 83!

You all failed to distract me (I packed and now remembered I reblogged an ask game) LMAO. Anyway hiiiiiii 💕💕💕

24: What do you dip a chicken nugget in?

Ok here's my secret recipe. By secret I mean I tell lots of people all the time.

1:1-ish mayo:BBQ sauce mix, and then a little bit of honey mustard. It's like. Sooo good. Sort of like Chick Fil A sauce minus the homophobia. Creamier and smoother than BBQ sauce on it's own, flavorful, perfect.

But if I can't make my little concoction. BBQ or honey mustard.

83: Can you swim well?

I can like..."not drown" well. Like. If you throw me in some water I will have a good time and not die but I can't keep my head above the water for too long. I grew up loving the feeling of swimming underwater (I loooooved those like. Sinking rings? Where you throw them in the water and they sink to the bottom and u dive after them?) and at one point could hold my breath for like two minutes. So I guess I never bothered learning how to swim normally. Which sucks bc growing up even tho I was a rly strong swimmer and loved to swim I couldn't ever pass the little like. Swim test at a local pool to be able to swim in the deeper water. I can swim very fast though! And I come up when I need air and then go back under. I used to pretend to be a mermaid a lot too! I'm very comfortable in water but whether I can swim well depends on someone's definition of swimming.

Heyyyyy, do you have a skin care routine for your body? Like body oil or certain type of lotion or soap? I’ve been trying to be better about that and take care of my skin and tattoos but I get a lot of ingrown hairs on my legs and the back of my arms and I just feel like my skin is so blah. Do you have any product recs or advice? 👍

hello!! first and foremost: i am not a dermatologist!! just some guy!!

i do have a bodycare routine (although for full disclosure i don't think we have the exact same skin type!!) but rather than bog u down w specific products, i think there's rly just a good couple of rules to go by—my dermatologist told me all of these and i let that info guide my skincare purchasing decisions!

most oils are comedogenic, meaning they clog your pores. there are a few that are non-comedogenic, or rank low on their comedogenic scale, but many (like coconut oil for example) rank high and are very likely to clog your pores and cause irritation. i personally don't use body oils for this reason (and also because they tend to be heavily fragranced which can irritate your skin.) there are much better, more hydrating alternatives if you're suffering from dry skin.

i GENERALLY go for skincare products that are unscented and don't have sensitizing ingredients. i got a list from my dermatologist and shopped from it for a long time, but as the years have gone by I just use that criteria to guide me and it hasn't failed me yet. i don't care about products being "clean" or "natural" (bc i think that's largely a made up marketing scheme) but shorter ingredient lists are generally better.

your body skin (most of it anyway) is more resilient than your face skin, so something like manual exfoliation is less damaging to it. chemical exfoliation is still preferable a lot of the time, but something like a gritty scrub or a scrubbing mitt works too to slough off dead skin every once in a while. be careful w things like loofas/mitts etc because they can very easily collect bacteria. launder them regularly or replace them after a few uses.

if you DID want to chemically exfoliate your body skin, you could try something like an AHA or BHA toner (glycolic acid or salicylic acid.) that will help w things like ingrown hairs, but also things like texture and dullness. apply it to your skin before moisturizer, and always wear sunscreen because they make your skin more sensitive to sunlight.

moisturizer is important! but everyone's skin is different when it comes to what degree of moisture you need. you might need to try out a couple before u find one that works best for you!! keep in mind that most moisturizer doesn't rly ADD hydration to your skin, it's just occlusive which means it seals existing moisture in. if you're suffering from rly dry skin you might need a HYDRATOR first (look for ingredients like honey, glycerine, hyaluronic acid, etc—which are humectants.)

ok that's all good luck i love u!!
