i’ve been truly gobsmacked one single time in my entire life and it was during a conversation i had with my therapist dalton about three months after i started seeing him. it went something like this:
dalton: you’d mentioned going to therapy multiple times before, what were those experiences like?
me: *tells him about experiences*
dalton: so all of your past therapists with the exception of one have been men, correct?
me: uh yeah, i guess so.
dalton: was that coincidence or do you prefer speaking with men?
me: i guess i just feel more comfortable talking to a man.
dalton: do you think there’s a reason?
me: i don’t know, i’ve never put much thought into it honestly.
dalton: based on what you’ve told me in prior sessions, do you think it has anything to do with your father being absent both emotionally and physically?
me: uh
dalton: the only reason i ask is because you say you’re indifferent to his indifference as he’s always been unreliable and you’re “used to it.” but do you realize when you’ve talked about your struggles with seeking external validation in wanting people to be proud of you, the people in question are almost exclusively older men who are some kind of authority figure to you? and based on what you’ve told me about your childhood, you didn’t really get the validation and connection you wanted from your father, which is part of why you seek it elsewhere. and while that makes sense, i want to make sure you understand it’s okay if him not doing what a father should do still hurts you, even if though you think it shouldn’t hurt anymore because you’ve been living with his disappointment for the past twenty or so years. it doesn’t matter how old a wound is, sometimes they still hurt.
me: uhh
dalton: anyway, back to my question. do you think it has anything to do with that or do you just feel more comfortable being vulnerable with men?
me: uhhh
dalton: take your time. you don’t have to have an answer right now. just something to maybe think about. now, let’s talk about the dead brother thing.

katsuki would never admit it in a million years, but having a partner with long nails?? yeaa, he loves that shit.
he’d done himself in at work, you both knew as soon as he walked through the door and dropped onto the couch without even taking off his shoes.
katsuki looked worn, completely broken down.
“rough one, ‘suki?”
“mm.”
you’d cradled his jaw in your palm sympathetically, yet-to-be filed nails adding an unfamiliar yet rousing pressure on his cheeks.
he perked up a bit at the attention, silently begging for more. you smiled serenely, he was so sweet.
your nails made themselves a bit more known, now drawing circles into his jaw.
katsuki literally turned into a puddle of a human, his worries stripping away in an instant.
even now, you keep your nails lengthy just for him. you’d never give up the redness of his cheeks when you scratch him a bit too hard, or his sighs of pleasure when you dig your nails into his scalp.
katsuki would kill to feel that pressure all day.
sometimes he’ll even throw a fit when you cut them.
“can you stop pouting?”
“you fucking cut them.”
“baby, i couldn’t even wipe my ass without scraping myself.”
but it’s all worth it when katsuki cracks you that rare saccharine smile as your hands caress his jaw once more.

Some Atla fans are deeply unwilling to engage with the fact that their beloved series may bear the marks of being written by two white men in the early 2000s. They can’t conceive that the show might’ve been anything less than perfect and that there are certain problematic elements within it that are consistently overlooked by the fandom at large.

Imagine being Yozora and one day you just wake up and you’re some guy’s DeviantArt lovechild OC. That would be wild-

(Disclaimer: The character, Soku, is not mine, and the reference I used to draw her was by xxpunkgrlxx on DeviantArt. I just thought I should give credit, as it felt wrong not to, but I’m also very sorry if this was something you wanted to bury forever. I do love the paopu hair clip a lot, though, and the outfit as a whole is a very cute and well thought out combination!)
