Touch Starved

@febuwhump

Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender, Pairing: Zukka Modern AU in which Zuko is the captain of the fencing team

You can also find this on AO3 by clicking here.

The one thing that bothered Sokka about Zuko, the fencing team captain, was just how…touchy he was. It seemed like he couldn’t keep his hands to himself for two seconds. During practice, he was always going around and correcting people’s forms and stances by just…pushing their limbs into place, or gently taking their wrists or hands to show how the technique should look and feel. After practice, he would clap people on the shoulders and tell them good job, or go for side-jabs or ass-slaps. He once tickled Aang into total submission right in the locker room, both of them bare as the day they were born. Sokka, of course, was not exempted from this treatment, and he didn’t really so much like it. He craved it. It took him weeks to admit that he envied Zuko and his easy familiarity with the other members of the fencing team. He wanted to be able to just…let loose and not care what people might think of him. But that’s not how he grew up. He’d always had to be the man of the house, and that meant he had to put on a tough face and take a firm hand. Yeah, he was funny—hilarious, even—but he drew a line with others and rarely let them cross it. But Zuko just sort of skipped right over it on day one, and ever since then Sokka wrestled with an unpleasant, coiling sensation in his gut whenever Zuko was nearby. That sensation which told him that the happy chemicals his brain made whenever Zuko touched him were shameful and wrong, and that he should not want to put his hands on Zuko’s tense shoulders, or wrap them around his narrow waist, or ruffle his hair. Men didn’t do those things, they put each other in headlocks and bumped fists or chests. They didn’t hug each other or drape themselves across another man’s lap. They didn’t cuddle. Which was all to say, Sokka didn’t do those things. But becoming friends with Aang and being on the same team as Zuko made him long to change. To reach out. Holding back was agony, some days. “Hey! Good job today,” Zuko said, putting his hand gently on Sokka’s shoulder as they walked back to the dorms from the gymnasium. Zuko’s smile was bright and genuine. Sokka’s fingers twitched. “Thanks,” he said, instinctively brushing off Zuko’s hand, then hating himself for it, then hating himself for hating himself. “I think I'm finally getting the hang of the saber.” “When you remember to loosen up your wrists,” Zuko said with a cocky eyebrow quirk, clearly enjoying having spent the last forty minutes disarming and humiliating Sokka in front of the rest of the club (he hadn’t been the only one). Moments like these reminded Sokka that Zuko was a man just like him, that maybe he could reach out like he was used to. But then Zuko snaked his arm over Sokka’s shoulders, leaning into him just a bit too close. Crossing right over that boundary. Sokka’s fingers twitched harder. “Don’t stress about it. I started on saber, and it took me ages to get the turn right. I think you’re better than I was when I was a beginner.” “You really mean it?” Sokka asked, skeptical. Zuko nodded. “I do,” he said. “I wouldn’t just gas you up, Sokka. I think you have a lot of skill and potential, you just lack training. How about attending Piandao’s workshop over Fall Break? The club will sponsor it.” He was too close. His breath was in Sokka’s ear, and his body was pressed up to Sokka’s arm. They would be tripping over each other if they weren’t accustomed to automatically correcting their balance. Sokka sighed ruefully and gave in to his twitching fingers. He wanted Zuko’s touch, and he wanted to touch Zuko in return. He reached up and clapped Zuko on the shoulder, giving it a firm squeeze. Zuko blinked in surprise as Sokka moved his hand down to his waist, pulling them closer together. “I’ll think about it,” Sokka said, and then jerked his head towards the student union building. “Now come on, let’s grab something to eat. I’m starving.”

edit: also they’re adding a midsummer night’s dream to the schedule for june? love that (i’d love to be in that too) but pls tell me this doesn’t mean we’re not getting winter’s tale :(

[justskulkingaround]

Heart Strings has been updated!!!

[miabrown007]

What’s the prequel a prequel to??? Inquiring minds want to know!!

it's a prequel to (no one can) rewrite the stars (<- the actual title of the 'thanks, I hate it here' doc, but we reached a Point where that wouldn't suffice.)

I'm just realizing that I don't actually have anything written of that one more then the premise, so I'll just show a Ladrien snippet from the other fic, because that's pretty much what the prequel centers around

“You know what would be funny? If your soulmate and my soulmate would be dating each other,” Ladybug giggled after a while, pointing at him with her spoon. “That would explain why everyone was so easily on board with the whole ruse.” “The chances of that happening are honestly pretty slim, Bug,” Adrien laughed, touching his spoon to hers, as if they were sabers, bracing against each other.  “I know that it’s silly, because what are the odds,” she chuckled, already planning the perfect attack. “But after all, you’re dating the superheroine of luck. Unlikely things are bound to happen,” she said nonchalantly before trying to score a hit on her not-so-unsuspecting boyfriend.

The one | CS55

― Pairing: Carlos Sainz x fem!reader (she/her) ― Warnings: mentions of break up and food; typos. ― Summary: Yn is doing well a few months after her break up with Carlos, and so is he. Everyone thinks that this paragraph of their lives is over, but as it happens they may be a chapter to each other, and Yn makes sure everyone knows he was her great love, the one - through her new song. ― A/n: None of the pictures used are mine, they are all from Pinterest and other apps, but the work is, and I do not allow it to be published on a different platform. I would appreciate it if those things could be taken into consideration 💛

sunday, february 11th, 2024 | 21/100 days of productivity

welp, last week was indeed very busy. I barely got any studying done and I'm kind of behind, but that's okay! I'm getting back to it today and I have a plan for catching up without stressing myself out too much.

today's productivity & self-care:

planned out next week in my planner

did laundry

finished the labs & making anki cards for section 3.1

started taking notes for section 3.2

had some friends over for a "superbowl party" (none of us are really into football, it's just a reason to hang out lol)

[trafficshipshowdown]

Well hello there! You may recognize me, if you don’t let me introduce myself.

Hi, you can call me Skylar if you would like! I run the Traffic Ship Showdown. More accurately ran the Traffic Ship Showdown. And people have been flooding my inbox asking when I’m doing it again. Welp! That day has come! In honor of Valentines Day I will be bringing back the poll!

The form link will be out soon, it will be open until the 12th of February!

The first poll will be out by February 14th

Remember this is all for fun and it shouldn’t be taken seriously. Have a great day/night everyone!

[bloggingboutburgers]

hi! this may sound dumb, but whats ur shop? i wanna see if i can get some pride themed stickers and i adore ur artstyle,

on another note..

i am so glad to find someone whose asexual whose..not a teen? I dunno, I adore my friends who're aroace or aroacespec but it feels like i NEVER EVER see anyone over 18 identifying as aro, ace, or aroace, so..idk, thank you for..existing? sorry if thats weird ig ;-;'

Hey! It's not dumb at all, don't worry TwT

For now I only sell stuff on Etsy under the name AkhtsBetterTogether, but unfortunately the shop is closed for the moment until early February, as I closed for the holidays and have a busy month of January ahead so I preferred not risking any delays in orders TwT So if you're OK with tuning back in early February, it should be back in business then! Thank you so so much for the interest and the kind words either way^^ And sorry for the inconvenience!

Aaah and don't worry, I don't find it weird at all!! Heck honestly this situation is one of the few where I feel like sharing my age IS actually a strength rather than a source of embarrassment, cus... I mean, it's legit a problem, right, how constantly infantilized we are or how we keep being told things will change when we grow older, right? So I'm glad I can at least be there and be like "Welp, I'm 30, and... Nope." So honestly your message made me very happy^^

Doppels Valentines Event

(Due to unfortunate circumstances this event was cut short, it'll take place again next February!)

Howdy hey! I wanted to do something for February because of Valentines day so, extra as I am, I decided to turn this into a month long thing.

From now till the end of the month I'll be opening requests both writing and drawing ones, mainly related to lmk x reader,Y/N and Canon x Oc content.

Because well I can-

Please note:

Once the month ends I won't be doing anymore requests so if it's too many I'll most likely not be able to take everybody. I hope you understand but I'm only one person^^"

You can find everything I do with this event under #doppels valentine

Writing Requests:

When sending in a request through the ask box you can either ask for headcanons,scenarios or oneshots with the character of your choice. Please sent in a short synopsis of what you want of course and any traits you'd like your reader to have.

Characters:

Pretty much everyone goes! Though for characters like Nezha and Bai he I only accept platonic requests, I'm honest I don't believe the show portrays Nezha as 12 but the Fandom can get kinda intense about this so I would like to safe myself the trouble-

For those who know my content you'll also know that I have oc's that are also open to request, my two kid ocs will also only be open to platonic requests alongside my boy Baí because he is aroace.

Will do:

Romance

Platonic

Fluff

Angst

Hurt comfort

Crack

Mild gore/injury

Won't do:

Nsfw, suggestive stuff in general

Heavy gore

Pretty much anything that gears more towards the more problematic side-

Drawing Requests:

The same things apply here:sent me your request and if you'd like your oc drawn with a character be sure to attach a reference to your ask! If you just want a Y/N but what them to have certain traits be sure to mention them!

Characters:

It's the same as with the writing requests!

Will do:

Oc's

Ships

Fluff

Comfort

Pretty much anything happy and cute(or funny-)

Won't do:

Nsfw

Gore

Horror

Backgrounds(or else I'm sitting here till next years-)

Example of what that may look like:

Lastly you are of course allowed to request multiple times, just not the same thing.

Welp, I think I said everything then! I'll be signing off then see ya!:>

[igglemouse]

Welp, Valentines Day has passed but that doesn't mean the love should stop, right? Right? RIGHT!? Exactly! So here are 5 more simblrs that I'm showing the love to this week.

@purplesimmer455 ~ Completely new to me but it is definitely my kind of simblr! I plan on visiting this simblr a lot because I do enjoy legacies with a lot of writing...I'm biased lol but I love it so far!

@maffickingcowplants ~ Did I say I enjoy legacies with plenty of writing? I did huh? Well it applies here too! I always enjoy seeing how others play the game and what stories people imagine with their own sims like how I do mine. I think anyone that enjoys my simblr will enjoy this one as well!

@streetlites ~ Do you enjoy more mature stories? Well, you know I do, and so this is a no brainer! Also, a Simblr with a lot to binge on for the bingers since this is also a simblr vet! Since my stories can get very mature at times I know a few of my followers might also enjoy this!

@300yearschallenge ~ I'm always super impressed with any kind of historical simblr because I know how not flexible this game is since we can't create our own worlds and this one in particular I'm really happy to have found since the writing is good and the story so grounded.

@ownedbyaborzoi ~ A long time mutual and gameplay simblr! As I've mentioned before I always enjoy a good gameplay because like I said up there I just enjoy going through how others play the game and seeing what stories they imagine. It's what the sims IMO is about...that and deco/architecture. This is the type of simblr that reminds me I do enjoy playing the game myself!

The 2nd half of February is upon us and I hope to be back here again next week with 5 more simblrs to appreciate and shout out! I'll also be a year older...I have a bday sometime this week...any ways! I hope everyone enjoys the week!

[ 19th february, 2024 • DAY 8/145 ]

nothing screams software engineering quite like 20 lines of ERR!! in bright red.. 💔

-> finally managed to install docker and run the backend but now i'm having trouble with the frontend welp

-> walked back from uni (30 mins, it was sunny)

-> weights session

-> played The Sims 2

also, i need to start using my time better. time to figure out how to do that

[fluffybutt-7]

Welp, this week was fucking hell and because I’m the complete opposite of a stress eater, I’ve barely eaten this week. So I’m gonna remind myself how far I’ve come this year; gained over 50lbs in 6 months (255lbs in February to 310lbs in August), and it feels so fucking incredible. I absolutely love eating and gaining; seeing myself fat and happy cheers me up every time. 🥹

Here’s to a new week coming soon, and to the yummy fall and winter foods imma pack into my belly until spring. 🥰🐻😈
