#I'm so excited to do this guys!

[reasonsforhope]

Sometimes you just have one of those moments where the progress we've made as a culture get thrown into stark relief. You look at something and go "Holy shit, that would never have happened when I was a kid."

Today, I had one of those moments when I realized that the teenage boys I'm working with are just. genuinely, openly enthusiastic about going to Build-a-Bear for their outing.

These are sixteen and seventeen year old boys! They just had a whole conversation about what to name their "cute", mostly new squishmallows! They're genuinely excited that they're going to Build-a-Bear this weekend and asking other kids to pick up specific accessories for them!!

Holy shit, that never would've happened when I was 16. None of the boys would have dared to be visibly interested - and neither would most of the girls! There would have been a million gay jokes and "Haha, you're a girl" jokes and "What are you, a baby?" jokes. Teenagers weren't even supposed to care about anything back then!

Less than 15 years later, and I'm watching three 17 year old boys treat all that as not even worthy of comment.

So let's call that a reason for hope. Even when the kids aren't alright, in some ways apparently they are alright. Go Gen Z, honestly. It's so lovely to watch you guys just openly doing and saying stuff that, when I was a teen, would've been a social death sentence.

#obligatory disclaimer that this really really obviously is not universal #I do live in a major progressive city #there's definitely a level of a liberal bubble effect here #but it's still really powerful to see it #because even in a major liberal enclave there were so many limits on the gender roles and homophobia etc. etc. fronts #and also the limits of the oppressive weight of obligatory teen apathy lol #seriously go gen z. so glad you guys decided cringe is dead. I love you for that so much #and I love it for you #not news #life #hope #homophobia #sexism #teens #teenagers #progress #gen z #btw if it wasn't clear I'm a #millennial #plush toy #plushie #squishmallows #build a bear #stuffed animal #like the idea of almost any teenager much less teenage boys #saying IN FRONT OF THEIR PEERS #that they are excited about their STUFFED ANIMALS #when I was a teenager #????? #cannot imagine that ever happening.

I'd probably have to read the printed version and web version back to back at some point to note all the differences but... ough

#sorry i'm going to be excited about this comic for the next month #nofna #okay having finished this now-- #and sorry if this doesn't make sense to anyone who's completely unfamiliar with this comic in advance- #the 'popcorn ending' (printed version) is nice to see but i think the web version hits harder. if that makes sense #so i'm kinda tied on which ending i 'prefer'- i think both are good though #also considering i've read the web version a good 4-5 times and the printed version only once- i probably can't make that judgement yet #easy answer- i do like Nutsedge :] so it's nice to see the ending where nothing bad happens to her #but also- NT suddenly becoming a greenie-esque villain out of nowhere felt a little jarring #as well as SV suddenly turning a corner and becoming a 'good guy' (arguable)- considering the first three books are about #/him being too stubborn to change or accept any outside worldviews . Him suddenly coming to his senses felt out of place #<- probably biased because i like characters being bitter to the end and ultimately destroyed by their own hubris #the web version is probably‚ objectively‚ a bit better #but - #(spoilers- if you're planning to drop ~70 bucks on getting these books) #the conceit of SV actually perfecting his style‚ using it once‚ and then immediately getting tooth-brained- was pretty cool #assuming it's meant to parallel him spending months tormented by trying to perfect it while something's still missing- #and then dying before he can narrate it to the audience‚ so that we never know what he figured out. #hard to articulate these thoughts but tl;dr- popcorn ending also had a lot to think about

I HAVE RETURNED!!! 💃🎉✨

#Hey guyyyys 😭 #I'm finally back!! #How have y'all been??? 😁 #Man... I've been logged in for five minutes and can already tell I've missed so much RIP ☠️ #I feel like I've been gone for 300 years or so #I have admittedly no idea how I'm gonna catch up 🙇‍♀️😅 #Guess I'll have to go little by little! #This may take a little while 🥲 #I'll do my best to answer messages and see what you've all been up to! 🤗 #But just so you guys know; I'm very excited to be back once more 😎💗 #I've missed you all! ☺️ #💖💖💖

was just thinking about how amazing it is that weird wonderful world and ghost files exist at the same time from the same company. you have the same minds, the same hosts, the same team and yet the shows are like day and night. www reminds us of the wonder and whimsy and joy all around us while ghost files showcases the world's darker side in its tragedies and horrors. and that they're able to execute both shows each with its own finely-tuned aesthetic and its own little universe is really a beautiful display of how much Talent and Love exists at watcher and it's so so special.

#i just picked out these two shows but the same could be said for so many others. that they even have so many to choose from is incredible. #really the show/season format of watcher is genius and they are so smart for thinking of that. #it lets them have so much variety in their content without getting themselves trapped in a box like they were at bf. #they can still hold onto the Ghoul Boys Spooky Vibe but also let their more lighthearted and wholesome sides show. #to borrow from miles. they are both spooky And cookie. #and it's cool to see other channels like the try guys pick up on the success of that and build it into their own channels in a way that's #not too different from what they were doing before. #grateful for it all. i love them and i love this community so much and i'm soso excited to see where we all go next. #watcher #weird wonderful world #ghost files #ahtw #ri.txt

i'm not entirely expecting it, but i hope that we'll get a flashback scene of polin's meet cute, because it truly is one of the very rare meet cutes that is actually cute.

#*carly catalogs #picked up romancing mister bridgerton to do a quick reread before s3 drops #and i completely forgot about that part of the prologue skksdrrtfyfghjkl #and how penelope fell in love with colin after hearing him laugh after she had accidentally 'made' him fall off his horse #like.... she expected him to blow a fuse... #BUT HE JUST SPRINGS UP AND SAYS 'WELL THAT WASN'T VERY WELL DONE OF ME WAS IT?' #'and in that moment penelope fell in love' #BITCH ME TOO THE FUCK #if i thought i made a guy mad and he just playfully laughed it off i too would fall madly in love #i'm fucking shaking i'm so excited for s3!!!!!!!!! #bridgerton #bridgerton s3 #romancing mister bridgerton #colin bridgerton #penelope featherington #polin #otp: you are special to me

As someone whose entire extended family lives in Sicily irl and they're all super catholic i am delighted by Machete's place of origin??? I literally feel like that meme with the anime girl that's like "(Location) mentioned!!!" anytime it comes up lol

Anyways I love reading OC lore so your blog is always a treat 😎

.

#oh thank you! it's so good to hear you like him! #I hope I'm not doing a glaring disservice to Sicilians or Italians as a whole with my weird dog guy #to be honest I'm always worried about people taking him as serious representation of some trait they associate with and feel close to #and then potentially getting disappointed or upset when he's flawed and troubled and not always entirely likable #does that make sense? I'm an overthinking people-pleaser it's probably just all in my head #answered #anonymous #it's so funny that this [location mentioned] is a worldwide phenomenon #especially in non-anglosphere countries #because Finnish people always get hella excited whenever Finland is mentioned anywhere #it's became a well known inside joke (torille) #we're such a small quiet and remote nation it's always a pleasant surprise whenever one of the big guys remembers that we exist

The Next Day

Phoenix: I’m sorry I can’t take you on a honeymoon. Dawn: Don’t be. I’m exactly where I want to be.

Phoenix: Your breakfast is going to get cold. Dawn: Hm. Should I stop so you can eat? Phoenix: No.

Dawn: Luckily your pancakes are delicious, even when they’re cold.

Phoenix: What time is Atlas bringing Aspen home? Dawn: In a few hours, I think. It’s weird without her here, isn’t it? Phoenix: Yeah. It almost feels empty. It’s too quiet. Dawn: I know. I miss her already. Phoenix: Me too.

...

Dawn: Hey Phoenix! Phoenix: [offscreen] Yeah? Dawn: There’s something here for you.

Phoenix: Dear Phoenix, I’ve written this letter dozens of times over the years. I only hope I can find the courage to give it to you one day. You likely don’t want anything to do with me, and I understand that, but I want you to know—

Phoenix: What the hell is this? Dawn: I don’t know. Who is it— Phoenix: Where did it come from? Dawn: It was mixed in with the cards. Phoenix: That doesn’t make any sense. How did it get there? Dawn: I don’t know. There was no address or anything, just an envelope with your name.

Dawn: What does it say? Are you going to finish— Phoenix: No. Dawn: But— Phoenix: Was he there? Did anyone see him? Dawn: Who? Phoenix: My dad. Fuck. Will you shred this? I need to call Julian. 

Dawn: Wait, shred it? Are you sure? Phoenix: Yes, I’m sure. Dawn: Maybe just wait— Phoenix: Please. Dawn: Okay.

...

Phoenix [offscreen, muffled]: Dawn, they’re here. Dawn: Be there in a minute!

WOOO YOUR REQUESTS ARE BACK OPEN !! first of all, HII welcome back, how are you doing? are you doing alright? i hope you are !!! >> p.s, this is the same anon who requested tall husband!reader nd 141 <33 i'll be 🦗 anon from now on!!

i've come back with another (awfully long 😔) rq !! if that's fine....,,!!

okay so i absolutely adore m!readers, and i have another one for that, so the idea is kind of like,, reader is a bit older/the same age as [char], and he's transmasc! though, he didn't have time to transition in his earlier years- he's just recently started t. what do you think price, nikolai, alejandro, nd rudy's initial reactions are to him like being so giddy to start transitioning and just reactions to him changing his body in general? :)

sorry this is disgustingly long again, & feel free to delete this ask if you feel pressured at all <3

— sincerely, 🦗

Hey there! I'm actually doing better than I did yesterday, thank you :D And don't worry about sending in long requests, I don't mind it one bit! In fact, it helps me get a better feeling for what to write :> And don't worry, I was looking forward to writing this! This was probably my most anticipated request in a long time!

Price, Alejandro, Rodolfo and Nikolai with a Transmasc!S/O

Price: He knows that trans people exist. He’s supportive of them, but that doesn’t mean he understands what they’re going through. He’s never really had a phase where he explored his gender, he’s always felt comfortable being a man. However, he’s very understanding. As soon as you come up to him and tell him you’re finally getting your shots or your gel, he’s overjoyed. Yes, you’ve always been his boyfriend, ever since you came out to him, but you’re finally getting to go on the journey of getting HRT? He smiles along with you and gives you a big hug when you can barely sit still from glee. However, that joy doesn’t compare to actually watching you transition. You’re slowly growing a beard, your voice is getting deeper, your fat distribution is changing. He’s there to celebrate every step of it with you. If you’re alright with it, then he’d like to take a picture of you every once in a while so you can watch how far you’ve come yourself. However, he will sometimes make you go on a jog with him. Might force you to go to the gym with him as well since he can imagine working out could make you feel even manlier. Since he’s on deployment for months at a time, he always finds it to be a treat whenever he gets home. After all, he gets to see you transition so much in all this time. In order to celebrate all these milestones he will take you out on a lot of dates, with him paying, of course. You’re his most ideal man, you need to know just how loved you are. Lots of praise too, you’ve come so far, you’ve gone through so much, you’re so very strong. You’ve gone through things Price can’t even imagine. He’s definitely extremely supportive of you.

Alejandro: He’s never considered himself anything but a man either, but he loves trans people. In fact, I like to imagine that he’d actively stand up for them if someone is being a dick towards them. Alejandro is a well respected man who can make just about anyone shut up, he will not tolerate any bigotry. So, as soon as you come out to him, he gets a big smile on his face and immediately starts calling you his boyfriend. And, once you go on T, he’s just as happy as you are. You’ve had to live in such an uncomfortable body all this time, finally you get to feel like yourself. He’ll help you with your testosterone as well, if you let him, of course. Every time he delivers your shot to you or rubs the gel in he gives you a hug afterwards, shaking a bit with excitement, always raving about how happy he is for you. Sometimes he jokes about how hormones can also be exchanged through making out, but you don’t have to kiss him if you don’t want to. Again, it’s just a joke. You’re his handsome man and if anyone ever dared to disrespect or misgender you then they’ll end up with a black eye. As mentioned above, he does not tolerate bigotry in the slightest. Sometimes he’ll run his thumb over your beard and tell you just how gorgeous of a man you are, and how happy he is to have you with him. On your dysphoric days he’ll remind you that you’re the most wonderful man to have ever existed. Trans is just an adjective, you are a man, you’ve always been one. Sits you on his lap, wraps a blanket around you and lists all the traits that make you a man. And even if he can’t make the dysphoria go away, he’ll still stay with you and cuddle you until you feel better.

Rodolfo: I think there was a time in Rodolfo’s life where he thought he was better off as a woman, but that phase didn’t last too long, a year at most. He didn’t go through with anything either, but he knows what dysphoria feels like to some degree. Ergo he’ll never be a bigot towards trans people. He respects them quite a lot, being misgendered and referred to by the wrong name feels so disheartening, having to go through all of that for such a long time is horrible. So he feels a bit bad when you come out to him, thinking that he’s referred to you by the wrong name and pronouns for such a long time. He apologizes for that as well. Of course, he wishes you all the best and will support you through whatever you wanna do. In fact, if you wanna get surgery then he offers to split the costs with you, he just loves you that much. Once you tell him you’ve finally gotten the prescription for testosterone he’s ecstatic. On the outside he may seem calm, but on the inside he’s a bit disarrayed from the happiness he feels for you. He picks you up and spins you around because he’s just that giddy. Will also help you administer your shots or help you apply your gel, if you’re comfortable with that. He’s very observant, so after a few weeks he’ll tell you how you’re slowly starting to change. Like Price, he’ll invite you to do workouts with him so you can become stronger. However, he also offers to learn about other things with you. Is not above teaching you how to ride a motorcycle either, if you don’t already know. Riding one always makes him feel very masculine. As soon as you grow your first stubble, he’ll cradle your face in his hands before squeezing you so tight, you’d think he wanted to break a rib or two. Praises you so much when he sees you slowly change, he just loves you so so dearly.

Nikolai: Not trans himself, has never had a phase either, but if he likes you then he’ll actually pay for your surgery. He actually paid for Gaz’ top surgery because he’s like a son to him and wanted him to be well. You’re Nikolai’s boyfriend, so naturally he’ll pay for anything you might need. Top surgery, bottom surgery, testosterone, doesn’t matter, you’ll get it from him because he wants to be a supportive boyfriend. He’s a very observant man, so he likely had a hunch you were a trans man before you even told him. While he may not have said anything, he wasn’t particularly surprised when you told him. Asked you for your preferred name and pronouns and hasn’t referred to you as anything else since. He didn’t make a big deal out of it. Has threatened bigots before, though. When you told him you finally got to be on T, after all those years, he was happy. Again, he didn’t make too big of a deal out of it, but he told you how proud he was of you. Like Alejandro, he also joked about making out with you, though. Nothing serious, if you didn’t want it to be, however. Will also point out the small differences as soon as he notices them. As you change more and more, he subconsciously becomes more touchy with you. You’re just such a sweet man, he can’t help it. No real reason, just watching you become more and more content with yourself makes his heart flutter too, so he falls in love with you even more than he did before. If you want to, you’re more than welcome to wear his clothes too, regardless of whether they’re too big on you or not. Nikolai is a very tall guy, so there’s a good chance they are. As a joke, he teaches you the sacred art of grilling in summer. You’ll be able to make the meanest burgers around.

I need a little hc about aftercare w/ enha hyung line coz they all seem to be mean in these smut stories ☹️

OMG OFC BABY!! 😚

So starting off with HEESEUNG:

-i'm sorry but this bitch would be so exhausted afterwards, he'd most likely fall asleep if not for you shaking him awake and telling him that you both could use some shower

-that kinda wakes him up and soon the two of you would be in the bathroom, lazily washing each other up

-pls he'd love to use his soap and shampoo on you bcs you smelling like him is so hot to him for whatever reason

-he'd throw one of his t-shirts over you and then swoop you up from the floor, carry you to the bedroom and cuddle the shit out of you until the both of you were asleep

I deeply belive that JAY is the king of aftercare:

-i'm talking preparing you a bath, carrying you in there and then drying you and dressing you up kinda stuff

-cause you're his lil princess after all right? how tf else is he supposed to treat you if not like the most cherished and precious thing in the entire world?

-would literally drown you in kisses and soft words as he'd caress your body with your favorite loofa

-would do everything you ask him for - food? done. cuddles? done. movie? done. whatever you want - it's yours

JAKE is such sweet baby but:

-i feel like he gets so talkative after nearly breaking his s/o's back LMFAO

-like you would be laying on his chest and he would be chatting your damn ear off, hands stroking your hair until he notices you're not responding to him at all and you actually fell asleep on him

-he'd coo at you for a second (would 100% snap a pic of you) before gently pulling you off of him so that he could clean you up quietly

-he'd quickly go to the bathroom to grab some towel and dampen it with warm water, then come back and wipe you clean while trying his best not to wake you up

And lastly we got SUNGHOON:

- his aftercare i feel like would be the simplest one but still sweet nonetheless ☝️

-he'd feel so bad after seeing how much he's tired you out pls

-he'd wipe you up with the first better thing that stumbles upon his hands - which happened to be some of your make up wipes but well as long as it works what's the difference, right? ://

-no he'd be sweet don't get me wrong, he's trying i promise 😭 he'd kiss and cuddle the hell out of you afterwards

-probably has some cookies stacked in his nightstand just for you <33
