as a person who grew up loving anime and seeing the relevance and importance of found family over blood family, and as a young queer adult who keeps reading about how important community is for a person whose very identity goes against the 'traditional family' it's (really) kind of disheartening to realize I'm never going to have my own found family. Especially when your blood family just... Isn't there

#Been thinking about this a lot #When I was a depressed pre teen I had accepted I was doomed to be alone #But then I found friends. Real friends #And I though. Hey. Maybe they could be my family #But as an adult going through an impossible situation with next to zero support or care I'm having to come to terms again #That I'm never really going to have that. A family.#Not unless I conform to what society expects of me and find a man to get married and have children with (I'd rather die)#It's been a rough few days while I come to terms with that #And try to come to terms AGAIN with the fact that my parents don't love or want me #I think it'd be easier if they just disowned me all together instead of making me go through this.#And it's horrible because I'm stuck in a situation I can't get out of very fast. It's a long process #Of getting a job and accumulating money so I can move out #And not getting the support from my parents but seeing my brother get it.... It drives me insane #I hate being o psych medication but I have to be or I'm going insane #I keep wanting to harm myself or kill myself and it takes everything in me to not make a harsh decision #Right now there is nothing keeping me going other than inertia of decisions I made a few months ago.#I have to keep moving because I'm terrified of what is going to happen if I stop.#Psych medication isn't helping. Therapy isn't helping. Exercising isn't helping.#I keep having dreams that I find someone who truly loves me and it's so.... Warm. Comfortable. Safe. I just want to keep asleep in them.#Forever.#It's a pain to wake up and realize I'm never having that in real life. Just a warm hug.#Yesterday I realized if I attempted suicide it would take people a few days to find out #And it's not because I don't talk to people. I do. But. It's always me starting conversations these days #If I don't say anything usually no one starts talking first #Which is fine you know? But also so lonely

best BEAST!!

#fanart #Xuanwu #in case it does not show credits: Thank you to Minilisko #And a huge thank you for letting me post this to The Blog <3 #The best is real! The details and edits are so on point! What a marvelous creature!!!#There is an innocence to the beast...A porcupine dilemma of being unable to be close without hurting others.#The knife is protection and the knife is isolation. Safety over companionship...#It was just sleeping in cave when the cultivator's showed up. It woke up to arrows and swords!#Did it mean to harm anyone or did it just react to the world around it?#(speaking of the actual beast in mdzs now:) There was a tunnel to leave the cave and it stayed.#Do you ever wonder if the beast found it's way inside but grew to big to leave? If it entered to be safe but ended up trapped?#This is all to say: Hey Madam Lan I think I have a new friend for you. She understands your plight.#Forfeit your worries to the turtle. Let the turtle bring you joy

If pokemon wont give me bea and allister siblingisms ill just make it MYSELF

#siblignsf…… real #art tag #pokemon #pokemon swsh #gym leader bea #gym leader allister #started thinking abt leon/sonia/nessa/raihan/piers friend group while drawing this theyre all great #or polycule. either or #i think all the version exclusive gym leaders has their own found family going on #besides the literal family #melony definitely spoils bea and allister and i think gordie babysits and acts like a cool older brother to them both #raihan babysat allister once and got him addicted to subway surfers and mr beast and bea hasnt let him near allister since #all of the swsh gym leaders are just one big family when u think abt it #bea reads allister bedtime stories but the stories allister suggests are infinitely more horrifying than bea can handle #in allisters concept art theres a part that maybe suggests beas scared of ghosts. i like that i think its funny. have u seen ur brother #i could make a whole post abt these two i bet anyway. i need to wak eup at 6am tmrw. gootnighth :>

SSR Grim - Platinum Jacket

#twst yuu #twst mc #twisted wonderland #twst #grim #Platinum Jacket #i'm thinking that her full name is yumimi #and gets really embarrassed when being called mimi bcs she thinks it's too cutesy for her #but i imagine in the real world her girl friends all call her 'mimi'#but preferred to be called 'yuu' by the boys #so she gets blushy & frowny & pouty when the twst boy/s somewhat found out her full name and call her 'mimi'#i really didn't expect that one yuu drawing would attract much attention #so i got a bit enthusiastic to draw her again #disney 100 years of wonder #twst grim

You mentioned in another post that fionn would join the sleep pile at some point so my question is how would the puppets react to this?

And just fionn softening up in general lol.

It would definitely take them by surprise fgdbgfhbnfgh- A grouch like Fionn joining them out of the blue,, but the majority of them accept this change, Wally and Julie feeling more comfortable sleeping with him around

But in general, reactions to him softening up are as follows:

Wally: kinda surprised at first, but welcomes the change - he now has a drawing buddy!!

Barnaby: relieved to see him let go of his grouchiness a bit, but will tease him about it to no end!

Julie: same as Wally but a bit more cautious initially, afterwards she will jump on his back randomly for piggy back rides!

Frank: certainly surprised him a lot, but gave him a slight chance, he wasn't convinced at first. but after some time he felt a bit more comfortable to the point of Fionn listening to him info dumping about his research on human world butterflies!

Eddie: very protective of Frank so he wasn't convinced either, but eventually he softened up too, both sharing friendly banter.

Howdy: the same as Eddie, but Howdy isn't afraid to call Fionn out on bad habits still

Sally: she was not convinced at all, still isn't but not as much - she still sees him as a rival of sorts, she hates his guts lmao

Poppy: she's very welcoming of the change, happy to see Fionn bloom for the better! She even lets him hug her, that is if he wants to!

#real world au #welcome home #welcome home au #welcome home oc #chezzy ocs fionn #wally darling #welcome home wally #julie joyful #welcome home julie #soft fionn is such a nice thought.......#I'm a sucker for tough characters softening up to their friends or found family #this is certainly a found family!!!#I really bring in my favourite trope to every fandom I go into lmaooo

so the top/mew sex scene? fascinating. they made so many choices regarding it and i'm honestly intrigued.

((this got way too long so i'm putting it under the cut))

the first thing i noticed was how their scene had almost no noise. it was dead quiet. and the lighting felt almost clinical.

now in comparison to some of the other sex scenes we've seen so far it was... pretty tame. which is fine. but we basically didn't see any of the 'sex'. we got the kissing. and we got the afterglow cuddles. and on top of that... there was no passion.

but let's start from the beginning.

'does this mean i passed your test?' a relationship shouldn't a test. and i think it says a lot about top that that is how he views it. its a challenge. a competition. maybe even a distraction. this has been his goal: get mew to have sex with him. and he's succeeded. but what happens now?

now in comparison to the first time, in episode 1 when they make out in mew's kitchen there are some noticable differences. firstly, their kiss is much more intense. now you can write this off as this kiss being sweet and romantic but... there is so much space between their bodies when they kiss. the only points of contact are their lips and top's hand on the back of mew's head.

then they undress themselves. not each other. top just strips and mew follows suit. the first time, top at least takes mew's shirt off for him. this time he barely touches mew. there's no romantically revealing each other. which is interesting because the first thing top says is: can you see me? can you see what top has revealed to mew. not what mew revealed himself. and mew is all of course i can because he really seems to think he does. but anyway. they're still not even touching.

and then

and THEN

i love you mew

like my dude where did that come from what a line you really just went in for the final kill didn't you. he's serving himself up to you already and you just had to make sure there was nothing left.

and then they are in their boxers kissing. and there is still so much SPACE.

and then top puts mew down on the sofa. now i'm not being funny but there is literally a perfectly functioning massive bed RIGHT THERE. but whatever. who wants comfort? who wants space? who doesnt want to accidentally fall onto the floor? i digress.

they're touching now. finally. but mew is just kind of lying there whilst top does the touching. which, sure, shy virgin. i'll let it slide. hands still above the waist. boxers still on-

afterglow cuddles.

...

that's literally it.

bearing in mind we have seen boston bouncing on this guy's dick.

bearing in mind this is pratically the premise of the show. this is the set up from the very first episode. this is what mew and top have been building up to ever since they met.

and that's it.

anticlimatic.

which... huh, maybe that's the whole point.

this was supposed to be anticlimatic for us because it was for them. because they had both been building up and building up to this and maybe it didn't quite live up to the ideals they both had in their heads.

or maybe its anticlimatic because there's no real feeling. all the other pairings have given us emotions. even if it's one sided pining. even if there's no romantic feels yet, you can feel the potential. you can feel the desire. mew and top's scene was the least passionate of any of the sex scenes. and you could write it off as being sweet and romantic rather than horny. but i don't buy that. i don't feel that.

maybe this is how it always is for top. maybe this was exactly what mew was expecting because he seemed pretty content afterwards, with his i love you and that saccharine smile of his. maybe he doesn't know any better. maybe neither of them do.

but when juxtaposed with the sand and ray scene that follows straight afterwards... those two just have to look at each other and you know they want each other. they kiss and they're both grabbing for each other. sand moves his whole body to be closer. and they're both still fully dressed but i'll be damned if there isn't more feeling packed into that one kiss than into the whole of top and mew's scene.

i just find it interesting that something that was so pivotal to the story. to the characters. was so utterly bland.

and i think it's a very important message to be honest - you can't force romance. you can play by the whole book, follow all the right steps, say all the right lines... but you can't put feelings in where there are none. you can't make passion and love from a prewritten recipe. life is messy. and love is messy. and sex is messy. and trying to keep it neat and ordered and clean, like mew does, just doesn't work.
