So I'm reading through Ves and Lana series again and thinking about how Lana takes care of an injured Ves, but what about Ves taking care of an injured Lana? How does Ves react to, say, the time Lana got tossed around like a rag doll by Vaylin?

and here i was, thinking of ways to hurt Lana to reverse their hurt/comfort roles >:3 thanks for the ask!! (art by skullinacowboyhat)

Depends which phase of their lives they're in. In the Empire, Ves won't risk showing overt concern and having Lana targeted as Darth Avriss' weak spot. So an injured Lana has to care for herself, while receiving care packages from her friends, Ashara and Talos (read: Vestra's proxies). What Ves can do, is destroy those who hurt her.

In the Alliance, Vestra doesn't hide anymore. She cares for Lana herself, but doesn't get overprotective (it's the same vice versa). Lana's tough, and Ves treats her with that sort of dignity; Lana hates being coddled anyway. She'll stay close, ensure Lana's needs are cared for. If Lana wants to work, Ves lets her work within reason. If she goes overboard, Ves puts her foot down and whisks Lana away for some needed rest.

For the Vaylin scene - due to the timeline of events (getting yeeted to Iokath right after the Gravestone hijacking), I'd planned for Ves to fight Vaylin alongside Lana, and draw most of Vaylin's ire to keep Lana from harm. But, let's have a lil thought exercise :3

Say that Ves stuck with Aelirra to defuse the bombs on the Gravestone, and Lana had to fight Vaylin alone, as in canon. When they find Vaylin and Lana in the last bomb's chamber, Ves sees Lana thrown across the room and loses her mind. Not caring that they're standing right on top of a quantum bomb, she unleashes a fuckton of lightning at Vaylin. Aelirra has to step in, blowing Vaylin back with the Force, and convinces Ves to step away, 'Go to Lana! Listen, Lana's hurt bad. She needs you. Go!'

Ves snaps back into herself and rushes over to Lana, dragging her to the side to assess her wounds. She'd just started healing Lana when they get hit by Iokath's superweapon. They're split up and stranded on Iokath, and Ves is painfully aware that Lana's still hurting from the fight, getting Big Mad at herself for losing Lana (even though she had no control over it). Her top priority is to find Lana and ensure her safety.

When she finds Lana, limping and looking like she was thrown into a trash compactor, she pulls Lana into a secure corner and heals all the wounds she can. As they head to Theron's location, Ves insists on taking point while Lana guards her flank, allowing her to face whatever dangers they encounter first. Basically, 'leave the heavy lifting to me, you take it easy'.

Reuniting with the Alliance crew makes Ves less tense, but she won't leave Lana's side again, and keeps an eye on her as they carve a way to the Gravestone. Part of her wants to find Vaylin and rip into her, but her thirst for Vaylin's blood has to wait until her love is safe.

Only when they're back aboard the Gravestone and free of Iokath, will Ves take Lana into her arms for reassurance, and escort her to medbay, where she'll sit with Lana until they reach Odessen.

You know what, fuck it. Let’s show some love for the “unpleasant” autistics.

For the autistics who are always accused of being angry or moody when all they’re doing is sitting there.

For the autistics who take everything literally and respond sincerely.

For the autistics who come across as “blunt” or “rude” for being honest.

For the autistics who are called “control freaks” for needing a sense of order and routine.

For the autistics who get told to shut up for infodumping about uncomfortable topics.

For the autistics who find it too exhausting to mask and pretend to be sunny and friendly.

“Unpleasant” autistics, I love you.

To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:

A post in 2023:

A post in 2014:

A zoom out of the same post:

This is what a community looks like.

See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.

It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.

Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.

If you want more of something, reblog it.

One of my favorite trope for Steddie is Steve hunting down Eddie when the kids join Hellfire and giving him a long list of dos and donts.

At first Eddie thinks he’s just being a prick, and worried he’s going to turn the nerds into freaks like him. Especially when he says not to mention drugs in front of Dustin.

But then he starts pulling out lists of monsters that can’t be in campaigns. And like what??? Why can’t he use demagorgons? They were gonna be in the next combat! He’s tempted to ignore the warnings, in fact he’s all set to, but something about Steve’s face when he was laying it all out haunts him. Something so deadly serious about it. So first he decides to test the waters to see if he’s full of shit.

When the session starts, he makes a throwaway comment, “you’re acting like there’s a mindflayer around the corner.”

All the kids freeze but Wheeler especially looks like he’s going to be sick. He even grabs at the bracelet around his wrist. The one he always said his best friend made him before he moved.

Eddie curses himself for even trying to test it out after that, and immediately bullshits the whole session so he can scrap any hint of demogorgans from the campaign.

After that session he drives straight to Harringtons house and demands they go over all the things he can’t include again, in detail, while he takes notes.

He doesn’t know what’s going on with these freshmen, but he knows trauma when he sees it and well he’d gotten attached to the gremlins.

When he leaves that night, he thinks Steve is looking at him with approval. Like he trusts him with their well-being now.

enough stories about how someone learns to truely be happy through love. i want a story where someone is desperately seeking out love thinking it's the only way to be happy only for them to learn by the end that happiness is what they make of it and they don't need love at all to make it.

I see way to much "Kon is a perfect boyfriend who's only purpose is to help Tim's mental health" fics, despite this being Tim "I can fix him" Drake-Wayne.

You're telling me he wouldn't take one look at Kon and his uhaul sized load of trauma and not immediately decide that it's now his job to help? You're wrong if you think otherwise.
