#she just wants to feel clean

[dirtytransmasc]

HC time.

Alicent cleans. I wouldn't say she likes it, but it's more of an unconscious coping mechanism, something to do when she's stressed or anxious, it busies her hands and her mind, and after what Viserys did to her, makes her feel clean, or cleaner at least.

royal life was a struggle cause she had a while courts worth of servants and maids and wet nurses and midwives and the list goes on and on, whose job is to clean up for her, to take on menial tasks, to keep her at rest. she's always grateful for the help, but sometimes she just needs to do it herself and hates having to demand being left alone with a mess or a torn dress or even just her own body (she would like to bathe herself, by herself thank you very much).

as she resigns herself to her fate and ages more and more, she lets go if the habit some, but its forever reinforced by her husband's need to be taken care of.

Anyone that’s come to talk to me about this au: I am hugging you and/or placing a nice trinket in your hands, this was one of the funniest things that’s been brought up so far. Historically Andrew does not get along with his personal guards so Day assumes the worst when finally turning him over to Abram

And yes, of course you can have the full pic✨

This. This. This entire conversation with Morrigan actually makes me want to sob. She and my Tabris always becomes close friends over the course of DAO; that, paired with the fact that my Tabris always romances Alistair, makes everything about this hurt so much more when you take DAO's ending into account.

Her confusion over why my Tabris didn't send her away. Why she didn't abandon her after they learned of Flemeth's plans. Why Tabris went out of her way to slay Flemeth and bring her the true grimoire. She asks Tabris why, and is baffled when the answer is, "I did it because I'm your friend," as if it's that simple.

The way Morrigan looks at the warden, the way her voice cracks when she says, "I want you to know that while I may not always prove... worthy... of your friendship, I will always value it."

She knows how this will end; Flemeth sent her with the wardens with the end goal of stopping the blight and obtaining the old god soul through the dark ritual. Morrigan knows that Alistair and Tabris are the only Grey Wardens here, and assuming they don't find more, one of them will have to die defeating the archdemon unless they agree to do the dark ritual.

With that context, her asking Alistair, "And what if a Grey Warden has forced to choose between the Warden he loved and ending the Blight? What should his choice be?" suddenly has so much subtext weaved through the words that I'm gonna start foaming at the mouth. She's practically telling Alistair that a warden has to die. She's scrutinizing his reaction to find any hint that suggests he would agree to the dark ritual in order to save himself and the woman he loves. And when he doesn't choose, she has her answer.

Morrigan made comments to Tabris about him, almost hopeful that their relationship was just a physical thing between them and not actually riddled with feelings... and then gives disapproval when Tabris says she loves him.

She doesn't want the warden to die; hell, she doesn't want Alistair to die, either; whether because she does actually care about him or because she knows it'll break her friend's heart if she loses him, or both!

Things would be so much easier if the only two Grey Wardens left to defeat the blight didn't fall in love, wouldn't they, Morrigan?

She knows that in the end, no matter the outcome, she will lose the woman she called sister and it's devastating.

Morrigan, who has never known true friendship. Who grew up isolated in the woods with an abusive mother and terrible implications for her future. Who discovered said mother planned to take over her body just as she did with her other daughters. Who doesn't understand kindness as it was rarely given to her without a catch. Who isolates herself from the others in camp. Who finally has a companion she cares about... and in the end, if her plan works and the dark ritual is completed, she'll end up pregnant and alone and wearing Tabris' resentment like a tender wound on her heart.

Or Tabris will reject the ritual, and will die to the archdemon.

Or her lover will.

I just- the dynamic between the warden, romanced Alistair, and Morrigan is so good and painful and rich that I'm gnawing on furniture as we speak.

i swear i have the body of a 50 yr old. i did something mildly active for less than an hour today and my back Aches. who authorized this

[steveharrington]

that lady on tiktok who cleans peoples homes for free is a literal saint and it makes me so sad that people repost her videos and just mock the people whose homes have obviously reached that state because of severe mental illness or physical disability

[scoliosisgoblin]

doodles and some lore. I'm tired.

one of the funniest things about the whole 'akane is the worst fiancée' argument is how everyone always says she can't cook or sew or is 'violent' (which is even funnier since this is a slapstick romcom) but they never take into account her taking care of ranma or anyone else or that she is kind and funny and goofy and fun and a teenage girl

it's almost like people think the only thing a woman can provide in a marriage is her skills as a cook, seamstress, and her ability to make the 'man' feel good .. like, they are literal teenagers, relax lmaoooo

ranma and akane are teenagers who become friends and slowly fall in love with each other (true love cause it is a romcom manga after all) ... and the most important thing about their story is how everyone expects something of them and they finally meet someone who actually SEES THEM (faults and all) and they WANT to be with each other simply because it's nice to be wanted without having to be someone they are not

(also it is my headcanon that akane does learn how to cook as she gets older but when she marries ranma, he takes over the kitchen duties because he likes cooking for akane like a good housewife/husband)

LITERALLY idk why ppl expect her to be a 50s housewife 🤪 and the idea that maybe ranma likes her not just in spite of, but BECAUSE she’s a tomboy is so baffling to some ppl

Like sure. Ukyo and shampoo are also martial artists, and on a very surface level they’re “nicer” to ranma (as long as he’s doing what they want…) They’re much quicker to be affectionate and show off what Wifely Skills they have or whatever, but its very clear they don’t care about taking the time to get to know ranma and are just attracted to the version of him in their heads

Akane’s the one who has stuck by him this whole time, even protecting him from kuno at the very start of the series despite heavily disliking ranma. She patches him up and fights alongside him and shares her thoughts and problems with him and lets him do the same, and they grow to love each other because of who the other person is, not what they can offer. Idk why ppl think he’d be happier if akane was a doormat instead of an actual person who challenges him to be better

(also…ranma’s taste is very clearly tomboys lmao)

My current job I work on average 5.5 hours a day and you know what? I think that's the perfect amount of time to work. I have plenty of time for my hobbies while also staying on top of the housework and I'd probably have time for a social life if I wanted one (I don't lmao I'm happy just chilling on tumblr), but having a job also gives me structure and a feeling of contributing to society. I think everyone should have a work week that looks like mine. 9-5 5 days a week/grind culture is bullshit and it's tragic that it's become the accepted standard pretty much worldwide.
