every time nami refers to sanji as "sanji-kun" and he refers to her as "nami-swan" my heart jumps around full with happiness
#i LOVE them so much#i keep thinking how nami grew up most of her life having to be hyper independent and surrounded by violent man#and now she has this little guy who wont just protect from all kinds of dangers#but will also serve her and treat her like the princess that she is#without expecting anything in return#this is so goddamn adorable#i love love love love them#sanami#one piece#sanji#nami#i dont get why people dont like them#when they cleary love and trust each other so much

Xiao being a pet. Just chilling, eating some seeds, getting skritches.
Why does this sound so appealing.
#––– ❛ ramblings 【 ooc. 】#not to make this weird#but he just wants to be owned sometimes?#because it implies being wanted#someone caring enough to look after his needs#willingly giving him affection#without expecting anything in return#other than that same affection back#sth sth the desire to be held and cherished#sth sth the desire to not think and just exist

the barista lady in the treviso café fucking giggles every time you buy the fancy coffee lucanis likes from her btw. can't believe the game is calling out rook and me like this
#I've tried it several times to check it wasn't a fluke and nope it does happen consistently I'm pretty sure it's intentional#bioware Know. they knowwww. they know exactly what I'm like and god bless them for it#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age spoilers#lucanis dellamorte#rook x lucanis#rookanis#café pietra barista gazing kindly at rye like 'I know what you are.' (a simp) while the tips of his ears go very very warm#clearly some sort of underlying drift compatability here since rook in one night can somehow manage to hit on all two (2)#of the elements of lucanis' instinctive understanding of courtship behaviour (knives and coffee/food) hfksjdfhas#in lucanis' defense when a guy buys you knives AND good coffee (despite not even drinking the stuff much himself) on a first date...#when your love language is that unhinged and they straight up compose a shakespeare level sonnet in it on the spot#seemingly without even realizing it. I mean what else can you be expected to do but fall so cataclysmically in love#that you'd kill god over it any day of the week easy. wild stuff#even wilder since in my playthrough he isn't entirely sure rye meant anything by it/as more than a friendly gesture#for like. MONTHS.#lucanis is a regular at that place and they all for sure know exactly who he is so can you IMAGINE the gossip that must start#after that conversation starts to take on a flirty edge. hotboi crown prince of the crows returns from the dead and is making eyes#at ~*mysterious stranger*~ who just showed up in town. some I hear netherfield park is let at last stuff going on for these guys#as they watch all of this go down

AU where Loki doesn’t interfere with Thor’s banishment at all and it takes Thor years to prove himself worthy and when he returns to Asgard everything is just. The same. Nothing seems to have changed at all and everyone greets him like his absence was a minor obstacle that didn’t fundamentally change Thor and the worst part is Loki stepped down from the place as regent without any delay and Thor can’t help but feel there’s something underlaying the way his brother looks at him now and won’t let him touch him and Thor doesn’t know what he could have missed because he doesn’t think he would have found anything wrong with the things around him and how everyone behaves if he hadn’t spent time on Earth reflecting.
#the warriors 4 not being interested in anything Thor ‘learnt’ at all#and making it clear that Thor was punished unfairly and the AllFather’s decision had been harsh#Loki saying he’s happy for Thor and Thor sees the way the smiles are forced and he sees the way Loki avoids any touch#Thor hating the way Frigga talks about Loki’s short regency and Thor’s absence like it wasn’t two whole decades or something#like she’s so grateful to have her other son back without ever addressing why he was gone#Thor just. growing during his time on earth and being much more aware of the behaviour around him#he learns to be critical and assess why people around him may act a certain way#once he realises that it’s possible for him or anyone else to be fallible and make mistakes it’s over for Asgard for him I think#Thor returns and Loki gives him the throne and everyone expects him to obviously have the throne#and Odin is sleeping and Thor isn’t comfortable with the way everyone accepts him as king regent after the banishment#Loki who either never lashed out against Jotunheim or did and it was brushed away and no one thinks about it as anything#but Loki is still deeply affected and acts the way he always would have but Thor can feel it’s not the same#he knows something is wrong and Loki won’t say anything about it and Thor doesn’t know how to bring it up#Thor sees Loki metaphorically receding into the shadows to become a nonpresence so loud Thor hears it even after returning from decades away#Thor goes to Earth and gets his priorities in order gets a new worldview learns not to take what he has for granted#and finds out he actually despised Asgard#he’s been back a week and he can’t stand it

i would kneel on the ground to tie the laces of your boots especially made for kicking ass. i would unlace your fanciest pair of heels at the end of the night and would carry you to bed; i'd massage the balls of your feet, the stiffness in your calves and press a kiss to your knee.
i would tie up your hair when you've got soap suds or flour up to your elbows, leaving the softest of kisses behind your ear. i would plait your hair, combing my fingers through your hair while we watch a film. soft yellow lamplight and fairy lights flickering we're in a world of our own.
i would peel all the oranges, bananas, pomegranates for you. you name it and it's done, baby. even if i haven't long nails to do so, i'll get a knife; i'll find a way. in fact, give me a knife and a peeler so i may peel apples and cut them into bite sized pieces. fruit preparation. i would cut fruit for you if i loved you.
i would hold an umbrella over your head when it's pouring. especially if you're taller than me, honey. i'd stretch my arm so that you don't get caught in the rain. i would walk through a rainstorm to see you, you know. but maybe on occasion we could dance in that rain, hot summer air keeping our shirts stuck to our skin; yet there we'll stay, laughing and drinking in this beauty.
• THIS IS ABOUT LESBIANISM • CISHET MEN & MINORS DNI •
#there's something so beautiful about doing things for the people you love without expecting anything in return#im choosing to do this bc itll make your life easier!!#im choosing to do this bc i love you and i love seeing you comfortable and happy#and it's even better when it's vice versa and works both ways#ANYWAY SORRY FOR YEARNING ON MAIN LADIES AND THEYDIES#lesbian#sapphic#wlw#lesbian nsft#sapphic nsft#wlw nsft#men and minors dni#nighttimenothings#NNlongnights

"I would be feeling awful about the experimentation that I had to do to him, and he would be the one that ended up comforting me."
this line that blue ty says in ep 141 about tex never fails to get me emotional. what do you mean that when ty was upset enough about the compound's experiments for his professional demeanor to slip he was met with empathy?? what do you mean that the kindness and protective nature of michael even toward the person inflicting pain upon him was the thing that ended up saving him from the compound????
#i am never going to be normal about the episodes with michael in the compound#because they often have michael at his most selfless#when he takes on the brutal experiments to spare mikey that pain#and when the kindness he shows ty and felix without expecting anything in return only for them to return the favor#with blue freeing tex and felix neglecting to send the michael in 86 to yellow#it's about recognizing the humanity of people inside of systems that view them as replaceable!! it's about caring for others!!#maybe i will write an essay someday...#woe.begone#w.bg

flowey and chara's relationship is always so interesting to me. when flowey absorbs everyone's souls and gains control over the timeline, he just wants to bring it all back to zero. back to when chara first fell. but he's already changed so much by that point - his and asriel's personalities and attitudes are almost complete opposites. would chara even still like him, if they met him as he was now? what if asriel's qualities that flowey buried and got rid of were what drew chara to him in the first place? what would he do if he realised that the person he is now, which was molded largely due to his past failures and regrets, is not the kind of person that chara would be fond of? what then?
#undertale#utdr#flowey the flower#asriel dreemurr#chara dreemurr#i think what drew chara to asriel was his kindness. how he was soft and empathetic and gentle. and how it was seemingly unconditional#i think chara's life before falling down was not kind. so when they met asriel who treated them kindly without expecting anything in return#it drew them to him. because up on the surface they were used to people only being nice to them to get something from them. or being#terrible from the get go.#flowey cares about chara. but would he have shown them that same kindness that asriel did back then?#like. flowey. the same flowey that wanted to kill chara over and over again so they wouldn't leave him.#i feel like chara could possibly see Flowey as just another one of the terrible people they knew on the surface. nice with ulterior motives#i just think it would be interesting if all the bad qualities flowey saw in himself and tried to stomp out were what chara liked about him

Being nice to people feels 1000X better then being mean or cruel and it always will
Even just the lil things Leave a nice comment, send a nice ask on anon, ask about someones interests!
#be nice without expecting anything in return#i get being stuck in your own head#i do it and i'm trying to do more about it#being mad is ok hating people who wish the margnized harm is ok#but a community is going to be stronger when there is kindness within it then being built on just mutual hate

To be an otherworldly being, another species, someone who goes against all laws of nature, how wonderful that’d be
Humans fear you if you show your true self, they run and wish to get rid of you
Yet here is this one particular human who doesn’t seem to mind
He, who loves you unrequited, unconditionally:
Who trusts you with ever Fieber of his soul and body
Who allows you to carry out your instincts on him
Who doesn’t mind being your prey for all of enternity
Who is jealous when you carry out your carnal needs on other humans
Who turns a blind eye to all the disasters that comes with being with you
Who gasps in awe when you show him your abilities
Who smiles when you turn to him for solace, showing all these vulnerabilities you never dared to act upon
Who makes you wish you could tear your heart out and gift it to him
Who is helpless with you yet strong at the same time
Who feels safe in your embrace
In the embrace of a monster

#I’ve been reading too much stuff about monsters#nobu you started this I blame you#ngl this kinda love is so pure and beautiful#it makes me wish I could love normally#to give and to love without expecting anything in return#without it being forced - tiring - lustful#something I’ll never be able to have for myself#nini!rant#monster x human#y/n x character#reader x character#monster reader#idk man I’m being kinda sentient here#but I’m not sad about it dw#Welp this was just a rant post cuzzzz yea

The alpha greets Kinn with Kim at his side, a possessive hand on the back of his neck forcing Kim to keep his head bowed. He gnashes his teeth against the radiating command of submit, submit, submit. He refuses to look at his brother, even when he hears Kinn’s sharp inhale.
Oh, Kim is certain he makes quite a shocking sight. His alpha has been kind enough to allow him pants for this meeting, a pair of filthy days-old sweats that still stink of his heat. The rest of his body is left bare. Every last mark on his body—the bruises sucked and beaten into his flesh, the scratches raked into his skin—is on display. And the crowning jewel—the still-healing bite in Kim’s neck, too high to even think of hiding it, barely scabbed over and flushed an angry red.
“Kim—”
The alpha digs his claws into Kim’s nape and he snarls, jerking in the unforgiving grip. He’s half-feral with fury and doesn’t care at all about the sticky warmth now dripping down his spine.
“Thank you for the gift,” the alpha says smoothly, dragging Kim into his side. He fights it, digging his own claws into his palms. He will not submit. “Not as docile as an omega should be, but it was a pleasure to break him in nonetheless.”
Kinn, forever wearing his heart on his sleeve, stands there struck dumb. Kim wants to yell at him, to demand he do something, say something, anything other than stand there, his silence an admission of his weakness. But Kim, trembling beneath the force of fury and fear and that fucking command, pulsing through their bond, can’t force the words to come.
“I believe we have business to discuss,” Kinn finally manages, a small relief, even if his voice is tight with barely restrained horror and hatred.
“Yes. Let’s find somewhere more comfortable. Come along, darling.”
As if Kim has a choice. He’s led by neck as the alpha turns on his heel and begins walking down the hall. Is it a deliberate choice to pass the room where Kim was forced to spend his heat, the thick, cloying scent of it still wafting out as they pass? It must be. Kim feels the charge in the air, Kinn’s hackles rising.
Kinn wants to kill him. The alpha that has taken what does not belong to him. He wants to protect his pack. Kim wants to tell him it’s too late for that. Years too late. Their father ensured a long time ago that there was nothing left to protect Kim from, no torment he’s been spared. Nothing he hasn’t learned to endure, just as he will continue to endure this.
Kim catches Kinn’s eyes only long enough to shake his head. Slowly, so that his brother will understand.
What’s done is done, he wills his brother to understand. Kim has already sacrificed himself to his brother’s cause. If Kinn ruins it all now in the name of hollow vengeance—it will have all been for nothing. The violation, the mutilation, a bite mark in his flesh that will scar into an unbreakable bond, forever tying him to this thing that is less than a man. Kim needs his sacrifice to be worth it.
This alpha will get what’s coming to him someday. Kim will make sure of it. But when that day comes, it will be his hand that delivers the killing blow. It’s the least of what he’s owed.
#cookie writes#just a lil thaaang#i love fics where Korn uses Kim as a femme fatale#Kinn would never allow it#would never ask for it#but in this fic#Kim knows he can sell himself once last time#to make Kinn's life easier#so he does#unfortunately he's not expecting the alpha he seduces to give him a mating bite#and it's going to fuck him uppp#then everyone tries to force him to bond with Chay to help override his other bond#which just makes Kim even angrier#he doesn't want to bond with anyone after what he's been through#he wants to be left alone for the rest of his life#but chay is sweet and unassuming#takes care of him so well without demanding anything in return#he's really hard for Kim to resist

CW: RELIGION
Do these American “Christians” even LIKE Jesus? I don’t think they do..
If he came down to earth in the flesh, I think they would deport him or call ICE on him. I think they would laugh or comment “womp womp”, slurs, or antisemitic “jokes” under a video of his crucifixion. They would call him “woke”, a “communist”, or a threat to “true blood American society”. They would yell “lock him up” or attempt to k*ll him themselves.
These “Christians” would not listen to his word, as they don’t do today. They would condemn his methods of reaching out to the outcasts and showing mercy towards one’s fellow man.
I’m sorry to “Catholicpost”, especially since I have a generally negative relationship with religion and the church. I’m still a dolls/theater based blog lol. I am just angry at the amount of people who claim faith but act against all that Jesus stood for. They will use one vague verse of the Bible to justify being shit to a transgender person but abandon all the many teachings of humanity and compassion. They use a thousands year old book to justify their hate but NEVER to act in LOVE. And love is the most important thing of all.
I have met immigrants, non Christians, queer people of all kinds, “sluts”, and other people they deem “sinners” or less than who follow more closely to Jesus’s teachings than those who claim his discipleship. But they don’t worship him, not really. They worship fear, hate, and a man with a poorly done spray tan.
God bless America. This agnostic Catholic is tired.
#magpieposting#I’ve been praying more this week than ever#not that I believe it will “do anything#but it does help me release my emotions and center my intentions#it is more like a meditation#releasing without expecting anything in return#cw religion#cw religious themes#tw religion#tw religious themes#us politics#united states#christianity#roman catholic#catholiscism#jesus christ#jesus#rant post#mini rant

Every human on this earth should experience loving a creature that cannot and will not love you and no I am not joking.
#purrs#bugkeeping reptilekeeping fishkeeping etc etc.#I think it is truly important to learn how to love without expecting anything in return

Ahhh ok see now this makes sense. So those biased against writers who don't read aren't only mad cause you are insulting the art in itself, they are also mad because they think that means you refuse to support other writers but expect massive support in return. Well personally, even when I was in the community, I was trying to support writers who had stories I liked. I was pushing myself cause their stories were interesting to me AND because i wanted to return the support. I did the support for support thing too in my first run and frankly that gave me a few readers too besides followers, but when I focused more on following stories I actually enjoyed on my second run, I got no new readers. Followers don't necessarily mean people will read your story unfortunately.
But that experiment aside, just liking and reblogging stuff but know nth about your work when they are asked about it shows me most people support back only to return the favor. And this is a big reason I got tired of trying and putting so much energy into this. Cause sure we can talk about our wips all day, but it saddens me when I take my time to remember parts of your story or your chars and you don't remember shit from mine so, at the end of the day, my being tired of trying to read more when I am personally not into reading just in order to belong and people to give a chance to my work doesn't look selfish at all to me.
To this day people still buy books of people they never met or talked to, so I aspire to be this type of author that got readers because they liked my story, not because they knew me in person or because they wished to return the favor for the times I supported them. I want to be judged based on what I write, not whether or not I support someone back enough for them to give me a chance.
#and same applies for vtubing#i actually started getting subs when I stopped trying to make friends in the community#and focused on just making my videos#and that attracted some people who didn't expect sth in return they just liked what i offered#honestly i never become a fan of any type of artist expecting sth in return#so it baffles me when indies in aaany field have to do that now to rise to the top#sure you can say yeah but you were disappointed when most people you supported in the community didn't remember shit from your stuff#well yeah cause if that's how people do stuff in the community i feel like an idiot putting effort and never expecting anything back#instead of focusing on finishing my stuff and check others' work at my leisure#there are many people i followed and still do without caring if they help me back#and that's because i genuinely like their work

#megaman starforce#is so…. easy….#it makes me a lil sad#I’ll never be that kid who spent years trying to beat the game and growing up with it steadily again#I don’t really know what point I’m trying to make w this#I guess I’m just mourning my childhood and youth/the naivety innocence simplicity of the past#I guess it’s just bittersweet to look back and see how much I’ve changed in 10 years#we’re barely the same person anymore-we don’t even have the same name#it’s just this love for this moderately unpopular niche within a niche game that connects us#I still think the game aesthetics and setting are the coolest fucking thing on earth ok#on another note the story in sf1 is just so peak#ryucoded af I really did not expect that. kid me wouldn’t have related but the present me sure does#it’s funny… returning to a childhood game-a gift that my kid self gives me to in the future-and finding myself in it too#it reminds me a lot of the things I used to love/I still love them but it’s been a while since I’ve thought abt it#I was pretty into Danny phantom too growing up#I really loved stories of heroism and kid heroes having to hide their identities#actually I was huge into dp I watched it every night without fail#if I had found the dp fandom earlier I would most definitely be a different person#kid heroes-> it’s kinda messing me up actually oh man geo is ELEVEN 😭he really is just a kid…#I too used to be 11 like him and had childish dreams about being a hero#guess you lose the magic and delusions of grandeur when you get older and reality sets in#another reason I’m glad I played mmsf as a kid#I’m trying desperately to find the mmsf amv and let’s play that I used to watch as a kid but ough#I found some but not all…. was it removed…?#sad 😔😔it’s a part of my childhood that will only exist in my memories I suppose#ough at the end of it all I just sincerely wish this game had gotten more love#fandom so small I can’t even find people to talk to#if anything I’m glad that at the very least the story was wrapped up nicely by sf3#and the fact that it’s the last game before their hiatus just makes it slightly funny. I still mourn sf4 tho.#I really hope for a starforce legacy collection-!!!
