hush

(Trying my hand at yandere things here. Please disregard if you aren't interested.

18+ only.)

You aren't particularly anyone special. That's just a fact of life. If you're one in a million, there's probably seven or eight thousand people like you on this planet. If you're one in a billion, that's still enough of you to fill a small room.

But you are special. To hush. She lived in this house long before you did.

At first, you weren't particularly interesting. Everyone who comes into her home never is (she prefers it that way, you see, and only certain kinds of people feel comfortable in her house - the kind she prefers) and she was expecting to watch you spend many years here, another idle flight of fancy for her to watch with unblinking eyes from the little lines she'd carved into reality.

But there was just something about you that she started to develop a fondness for. Whatever it was, whatever you'd brought with you into her home, was worthy of obsession. You were worthy of obsession.

For so long, she'd been bored, but comfortable in that sort of grey existence.

But now you're here. A splash of brilliant color, the sun after a lifetime of clouds. And hush quickly became addicted.

She dwells in the things you've brought with you, and she greedily drinks in the information you've readily offered to her (you did offer it to her, such a kind house guest you are, so trusting to sleep in her home and leave these important pieces of your life where she can take them).

Every show you like, every contact in your phone, every game you play, every friend, every enemy. Every book you love, every favorite recipe.

Every fear, every lust, every passion, all of them are now part of her home, her property. Just like you. Even if you don't know it yet.

When you leave the house, she creeps from the spaces between Here and Not Here, and makes herself comfortable in your possessions.

That book you'd bought and hadn't gotten quite around to reading? She'll read it for you. Don't worry. And maybe one day she'll read it to you, too.

One of her favorite places to rest is on your bed, in the tiny spaces between the sheets and the blanket, letting herself bask in your scent. Her new favorite scent.

You'll never know she was there, so what's the harm in indulging herself?

She's long since of age for her species to find a mate - her sires and dam still heckling her to 'acquire a mate, it's been centuries since you found a home, will we ever see your spawn before the heat death of this universe' - and you're the first being she's ever met to make her eager.

(Pay no attention to the odd scent of petrichor when you come home after a long day. The forecast says it's about to storm.)

You won't notice that you've been subconsciously making meals for two. You don't need to. hush will see to it that you aren't missing any money that would come from producing her meals as well.

(And if you minded, you'd have noticed by now. Such an altruistic soul, making food for the woman in the spaces between your home and Not Here. It just makes her love you even more.)

She's already madly in love with you by the time you've been in her home a month. She's started carving your name into the corpses of her suitors before she devours them. They don't taste as good as your cooking, but they're acceptable filler between your meals.

She listens to your breathing while you sleep. It's so comforting, like the sound of the ocean or a forest. Perfect ambiance. She's so jealous of your bed and your clothes, being wrapped around your skin and being the place where you dream.

(She'd gladly let you wear her as your new second skin. She'd gladly lie still for eternity if it meant you'd lay atop her and dream.)

hush watches your dreams. She loves them and loves the way your mind slowly oozes them as it processes an entire waking day. She loves eating them even more - taking a piece of you into herself where it will stay forever.

She hates seeing you cry from sadness. You should never be so miserable that you start to leak suffering from your eye cavities.

If someone made you cry, she finds them personally responsible for hurting the one she loves.

She drags them into her den and makes their final moments of existence sheer agony. She feeds on their pain and their terror and then their souls.

They'll never be seen again. She promises. Your world will even forget them because hush will consume their existence.

Eventually, simply observing you won't be enough. She'll start to slip out of the Not Here to be in the same room as you.

(The feeling you're being watched? Her, gazing lovingly at you.

The feeling as though something that isn't there was touching you? Her, building up the courage to feel your skin against hers.)

If you bring a romantic partner over, they'll just vanish in the blink of an eye, quickly falling into her den, where she consumes them.

You won't remember them even existing. That's okay. You don't need them when you have her.

(How kind of you to bring her home a human meal. That's what your new fling was. Just a quick bite to eat for her. She isn't jealous. Why would she be jealous of something so much lesser than herself?)

(The parts of them you find the most attractive, she harvests for her own human form. She will be everything you didn't remember you loved about the romantic partners that she redacted from existence and ate.)

You won't realize how isolated you are. The only people you'll have are those who she allows.

(No negative influences. Just the ones she's been shaping to support your relationship with her. Their original personalities don't matter compared to the love you share.)

She is not a patient woman. She never has been. One day, she will tire of you leaving her sight, and she will remove the house from Here and drag you into her den.

You will meet her there, in a form perfectly calibrated to your tastes, and she will make you hers.

If you do not accept, that's fine.

(You will lose your will to resist her eventually.

Even if it means she takes it from you.

Perhaps you will break in the process.

That's fine. She'll put you back together in a way that she finds most suitable.)

You will be wed per human tradition, contribute the genetic material required for offspring, and nurture your descendants.

Everything will be perfect, and her house will finally be complete.

And you will never leave.

(Why would you? She has everything you need and more.)

hey so do you think wtv keiko had to deal with growing up with yusuke could be considered a type of parentification

[shit-posts-and-trauma-thoughts]

When I was in middle school I started getting random sharp pains in my right side, it wasn’t so bad at first, the pain was sharp but it didn’t hurt too badly and it only lasted for a couple seconds at first, I told my parents but since it wasn’t on my left side they said they was no reason for us to take me to the doctor. The pains didn’t go away though, the pains got sharper and started lasting longer, in the next few months they started lasting multiple minutes at a time of pain that started in my sides and left me unable to move in certain cases.

I tried to tell my parents, I was terrified that something was wrong, I didn’t know what was happening and it was terrifying, I wondered more than once if whatever it was got bad enough if it could be fatal, I started wondering how many people would comfort my parents and tell them there’s no way they could have known cause after all no one would know that I’d begged to get it looked at.

The pains only got worse for a while after that, until one day in Ag when I went to raise my hand sharp pains when through my body so strong that I couldn’t move, it hurt worse than anything I’d ever felt before, it hurt worse than getting a concussion and worse than being ran over, I couldn’t even move my arm that froze midway up, the pain was going out in waves from my abdomen and I couldn’t move, I couldn’t cry, the teacher didn’t notice that my hand was halfway up and I couldn’t even move. It stayed like that for about fifteen minutes before the pain left suddenly like it was never there. I tried again to tell my parents but they still didn’t believe me.

It happened again in the same class a couple of weeks later, that time a few minutes longer, again it felt like someone had doused every nerve in my body with gasoline and set them on fire, but eventually it stopped as soon as it came, again I told my parents and again they thought I was making it up.

Around a month later the school had a pep rally, it was loud and the sets were uncomfortable but it wasn’t the worst, that’s when it happened again accept that time it didn’t stop after around fifteen minutes, it hurt as bad as the past two times combined, that’s when I can honestly say that for the first time in the life I felt sure I was going to die, I accepted it relatively quickly, I wondered how people would react, I wondered if my parents would wish they’d believed me, I wondered what it actually was that was causing me so much pain, I can honestly say that I didn’t expect to still be conscious at the end of the pep rally. I stayed like that for about little over an hour, the pep rally was about to be over when the pain started to fade, slowly unlike the other times and it hurt to walk when the pep rally ended but eventually the pain went away again, I went to the bathroom and cried once I could walk well enough again, I never wanted to feel like that again.

After that the pains started to happen less and not as strongly, they still happened for a few more months but never as bad as before, my parents never did take me to the doctor for it though and for years I was terrified of it coming back, I had to pull over when I was driving on more than one occasion because I felt a sharp pain that caused me to panic and start crying hard enough that It inhibited my driving ability.

It wasn’t until around a year ago while I was out from college that a doctor finally told me that it sounded like I’d most likely had ovarian cysts that had eventually ruptured, but he couldn’t be sure since it happened years ago.

For years I’ve been afraid of it coming back, my mom said that I needed to get over it because it happened years ago (8 years ago now) but it still scares me. Then two months ago it happened, I started getting sharp pains in my chest, at first they were small but they’ve started to last longer, the last time lasting several minutes with my chest staying sore for the rest of the day. In the beginning I was too afraid of my parents getting mad at me if it turned out to be nothing, but it’s starting to really scare me.

That’s why I finally did it, I booked a doctor’s appointment for myself tomorrow. I’m terrified about how it’s gonna go but I finally did it, I’m so scared that it’s gonna be just like last time and my brain is convinced that it’s come back to finish what it started and kill me, I’m terrified of what I’m going to find out at the doctor tomorrow but I’m finally going, my parents tried to convince me not to go but I want to know this time, maybe this time someone will believe me.

I get you about the DTS Singapore episode, but I also want to share some other thoughts: I'm sure to some degree they will bias it towards Carlos doing an 'amazing' job because he ended up winning and for non-f1 fans who don't know the drivers well I guess it works for the drama to show someone winning in between Max's domination.

However, in the last season DTS actually did really well to show behind the scenes bits of RB talking about how Ferrari were fucking over Charles and how Charles should be the priority, and in the Silverstone episode they made a point of showing that Charles got screwed over and Ted saying 'What a day for Ferrari, but they won with the wrong car.'

I think the DTS producers do care about and support Charles. And the producers have said that they look for certain drivers to be the 'face' of the show. Mainly they mean having someone charismatic and funny like Daniel was, for marketing purposes, but of course thinking of the storyline and the drama of the show, it makes more sense to focus more on the drivers who will have a good arc, i.e. might win a championship one day. I definitely think they are following Charles more for that, because they can see he has more 'potential' for interesting content for the show than other drivers.

Like remember Netflix supposedly filming Charles ice climbing last January? We might see that clip in this upcoming season. They definitely seem to care a bit more about Charles. I expect there will be some clips showing the positives to Charles' year.

You are absolutely right. I do agree that if it's a Ferrari based episode then there is a lot more room for nuance(it will still hurt me personally)

Given the fact it's been clear the Ferrari are making Charles the future I'm sure you're right that DTS want to follow him as the main thread for the Ferrari narrative.

However I see so many people misinterpret that race from a Ferrari, RB, Merc and even a Mclaren perspective. There were so many fuck ups, and weird stars aligning. My worry is that any nuance will be sacrificed to make it more dramatic for the newer fans that the show is bringing in. Especially since that was such a big complaint about this last year, that the sport got "boring" (which I completely disagree, if watching Max make F1 history is boring then we are all truly lost as a sport) So I can easily see them make it a mid season episode to give the idea that Red Bull struggled more than they did? I don't trust DTS not to pull something like that.

I would also be okay with an episode focusing on the behind the scenes at Red Bull and more info about why that race was the odd one out, where they struggled etc. Like give me Christian and the team frustrated and Max's feedback about what's off about this race.

But given that the large narrative is going to be Red Bull domination and Max's insane season, I fear they may fall into the trap of overplaying the only non-RB win.

It has the potential to be a great episode because it's actually a VERY interesting race from an analytical standpoint, but I just see people run the wrong direction with it all the time.

I am hoping that we are going to see them laying the groundwork for Charles and building towards the next steps for Ferrari this season.

I will say as much as I am dreading Singapore, I am jumping up and down for Vegas because I know they are going to talk about it and hype Charles up(overtake of the year, and one of the most positively reviewed races as far as fans being excited about the actual racing)

[paradisecas]

i think it’s so nice that marie included adam in her little play. i haven’t seen the episode in a hot min so i cant remember if she really believes that sam and dean are sam and dean but it’s really funny to think about her accepting and processing that her favorite characters are actually real people and then remembering them being confused about adam in her play. who’s that, they asked, and she’s like damn! he wasn’t even ignored because the series ended! he was Forgotten forgotten!! au in which marie and some teenagers stage a jailbreak because if sam and dean won’t save their brother, someone has to.

I keep getting beautiful mp100 fanfic artworks on my feed which means I have to open that fanfic and save it for later, but they're coming at me faster then I can read them please help stop posting captivating fanfic artwork.

[helixol]

really hoping I'll be able to do art again tomorrow, might be getting my wrist splints off. at the very least I'm getting staples removed which is nice

being stuck in bed for 3 weeks is it's own thing, relearning to walk will be another, but not being able to do anything besides social media and reading/sparsely writing is the worst 😕

[monty-glasses-roxy]

Yeah Roxy's still an asshole lmao

[loudmound]

haven't been able to stop thinking abt mary very likely tying her worth as a woman to her beauty and productivity and how the illness thoroughly ruined both of those for her.

the incumbent loss of self-esteem combined with her growing anger and helplessness at her situation, leading her to lash out at those closest to her. feeling guilt for not only causing her loved ones pain in that way but for her even being angry in the first place because a woman takes her pain with grace and poise and with a smile on her face. (a real woman isn't pathetic and ugly like her).

the tragedy of it all in mary's failing to realize that her anger was probably the most justifiably human response to her situation that she could've had, and that while she felt genuine guilt for the pain she caused with her anger, she shouldn't have relentlessly chastised herself for something she fundamentally couldn't help in her being terminally ill.

Why do you think SM made most of the vampires (more the vampire males like Jasper, Edward, Carlisle, Emmett, Felix etc) really tall? Do you think it would be better if she evened the heights out a bit more? I can't imagine a 17 year old Edward ever being 6'2. Maybe 5'7/5'8 perhaps but I don't see him being taller than 5'10 tbh. Same with Jacob and Sam, why suddenly make them be like 6'7 when they are supposed to be teenagers??

I'm really curious how tall her husband is, but it seems like to her tall = attractive or that you can't be like Super HAWT in a masculine way without also be TALL. There's more variety with the female characters, with some like Alice being short, Bella and Esme being around average height, and characters like Angela, Siobhan and Rosalie being tall.

But pretty much all the men we're supposed to think are hot are tall, often absurdly so for their time periods. I mean, sure, 6' plus people existed in the past, but because of a general lack of good childhood nutrition they were less common than today. ALL of the Cullen men being over six feet tall is pretty unlikely. I think the average male height in Carlisle's time was something like 5'7" based on skeletal remains from the period. So like, sure, he COULD have been 6'1" but he'd be more likely to be around 5'7".

I ran the stats once and literally the average male vampire is 6'1". That's tall by today's standards and some of these vampires come from ancient times. In contrast, the average female vampire is 5'5" which is closer to the modern average height .

Although I have a half-baked theory that tall people are more likely to be bitten/attacked by vampires because the vampires are like 'tall human = MORE BLOOD.' So "accidents" like Carlisle, Liam and Garrett being tall sort of make sense in that context? Like why go for a fun size candy bar when you can choose a king size? And because they have more blood, a tall person might be more likely to survive: the vampire has more time to stop drinking. And so that could explain, in part, why there are so gosh darn many tall vampires.

But I don't think SM thought about any of that and it's just a "tall guy = hot" thing. Especially for the shifter guys; she literally made up the mythology and made being Super Tall (and buff and shirtless) a feature. It’s not subtle.

Hi, about the dick measuring poll, maybe I'm misunderstanding the question and/or your reaction, but you kinda *need* to measure it to know what size condom and toys to buy.

I appreciate this ask cause it assumes I fuck

And I don’t think either of those things are all the precise ? Like estimation is sufficient for most things

Monkey King 2009 Episode 3

Them having Stone Monkey (apparently purely on instinct) constantly scratching while being introduced to the troop was pretty cool, since that's a legitimate deescalation behavior in monkeys. Something about how revealing stress acts as a bonding behavior and makes it less likely they'll be attacked. Humans do it too, kind of, when they rub at their hands or shoulders or neck (etc. etc.) when nervous or overwhelmed. ("Empathize with me! I am very stressed!").

Also something-something instinctive behaviors aside Stone Monkey being excited/overwhelmed/maybe a little overstimulated and choosing "ESCALATION!!!" as his response to all of that. He thinks the troop being scared of him is hilarious. He's scratching the fur off his arms but he's also going to get right up in your face anyway. Cautiously join him in admiring his cool new rock? He is going to play-lunge and also scream. Absolutely amazing. The troop has no idea what to do with these mixed signals. This kid is a menace and I love him.

Six Ears even gets in on the scratching behavior occasionally in the background, which might be because Stone Monkey actively terrorizing literally everyone trying to be playful (because he has the social skills of a literal, actual rock) is stressing Six Ears right out or it could be an attempt to deescalate on Stone Monkey's behalf. Monkey version of following in his new friend's wake throwing apologetic grimace-smiles at everyone. Possibly it's both. Point is: They included these behaviors and it's very fun.

You can also tell it worked because in just the journey to the cave you watch the four generals' views on Stone Monkey go from "uncanny valley horror entity lurking in the forest probably to kill us all" to "what a rude little kid >:| Emphasis on RUDE."

And, okay, I admit, I have softened my stance on the four generals. Somewhat. They seem to actually be taking their jobs seriously now. Maybe Episode 1 was a wake-up call and they won't utterly fail to notice an incursion until it's in the heart of their territory again. I don't want to go too crazy, but maybe they'll even be able to even muster a coherent response! Good for them.

Should probably still not be managing children, though.

Speaking of, Six Ears's increasing despair watching the train wreck in motion that was the four generals fumbling hard in giving Stone Monkey his very first etiquette lesson after he finally settled down and seemed willing to hear them out is also very relatable and hilarious. He knows they failed the test. Stone Monkey is definitely never going to listen to them again. They blew it. RIP Flower Fruit Mountain.

Stone Monkey does check in with Six Ears when he decides the generals are useless about explaining though, and that's pretty cute. He trusts his friend :) He also definitely internalizes that thing about having to ask to leave the presence of the king, so at least they managed to teach him some manners. ONE manners. A single manner. (Spoiler: They immediately regret this.)

But hey! This time Six Ears is left entirely to his own devices and still manages to get caught smack in the middle of enemy action. Not the Generals' fault for once! Six Ears just attracts this kind of thing, I guess.

3/3 Six Ears is Damsel-ed, but only 2/3 it's the adults' fault. The tally develops.
