#also come distract me

[butchfalin]

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

okay, but characters wearing diapers or pull-ups to a theme park tho

first, some of the reasons one might be padded at a theme park:

• the character is a total germaphobe, and using public bathrooms frequented by thousands of people a day isn't on the table

• the character has a shy bladder and there is no chance that they'll be able to use the extra large bathrooms filled with dozens of stalls, not to mention all the other people waiting in a line to use those stalls

• the character is very easily distracted and has been known to put off bathroom breaks until the last possible second - something that'll be a bit hard to deal with in a crowded theme park

• the character decides that they want to minmax their day at the theme park and get their money's worth, and as such, decides that wasting time for a bathroom break is unacceptable

• and, simply, the character thinks it might be a bit fun to wear padding at a theme park

the way that the characters use their protections

• the ones that wait and hold it until an opportune moment arrives

• maybe some wait until they're waiting in a line for a ride that isn't moving; they shuffle between their friends - or, away from the other guests in the line, if they came alone - and let loose, their discomfort gone and their place in line maintained

• those that aren't going to be able to go unless they're away from the public eye/crowds; they need to find somewhere secluded, and the nagging feeling that they're going to be caught "doing something they're not supposed to" isn't helping

-- they either find a little corner of the park that isn't very busy, so they do their best to relax their bladder and go

-- or they don't, and they end up losing control while surrounded by strangers, much to their dismay

• those who didn't intend on wetting at that exact moment - maybe their ride was more thrilling than they had thought, maybe someone bumped into them, or maybe they just got so excited - or frightened! - upon seeing a costumed character that their control of their bladder completely slipped their mind - so they sure are glad they opted for the protection

• the ones who's protection is intended to be used as a last resort only - which means they still need to try their hardest to make it to the bathroom in time

• those who go as soon as the urge hits them; they're wearing padding, they don't need to hold it or anything!! that's what the protection is for!!!

and then, of course, what'll happen when they need to get changed:

the fact if the matter is, there are a limited amount of changing tables that our character can even fit on, which means that they'll have to either deal with their soggy bottoms in the narrow single stalls or use the accessible/companion/family bathrooms

• those who opt for the single stall change, as, after all, they can handle it themselves!! except, they've never changed a diaper standing up before, and, oh, wow, those tapes aren't sticking where they're supposed to go and - uh oh...

• those who opted for pull-ups now struggling in the single stall, because how were they supposed to know that the ones they picked don't have easy open sides, which means that they need to disrobe entirely from the waist down - shoes included - just to put a new one on

• any of the above people needing to phone-a-friend to get some help - except, they can't exactly leave the stall at this point, which means that their friend is going to need to squeeze into a stall that can barely fit two people

• those who are alone who opt for the accessible bathroom; afterall, they're a guest who needs the facilities, why shouldn't they use it?

-- of course, that's easier said than done, as they soon realize. there's only a limited amount of these bathrooms in the park, which means they're a bit more busy than the regular bathrooms - this results in the character having to nervously stand in line amongst families, who might be raising a brow at why our character is in line in the first place....

• and then, those who opt for the accessible bathroom with a friend who is going to change them

-- any onlookers alongside them in line, looking at our possibly skittish character, who might even be attempting to hide behind their friend - who, of course, is carrying a bag or backpack with the necessary changing supplies. looking between the two, it isn't hard to put together that a routine diaper change is all that's going to be happening between these characters in the bathroom, nothing nefarious (though, depending on our character's pride that might be exactly what they were banking on what strangers would assume)

• a character who did not plan ahead, and after thoroughly soaking their protection and heading for the bathroom, they realize these single stalls are not big enough to change in. cue the character, with a noticeable waddle in their gait, having to locate the nearest theme park employee to ask about where the nearest accessible bathroom is - only for the employee to show them that's it's very clearly labeled not too far away

• and then, the characters who decide that changing their padding is not on the itinerary, and so they opt to stay in their wet padding - what's going to happen first? stained pants from leaky padding? thighs chafing from the excess moisture? a diaper rash? maybe they'll even be so unlucky that they get to experience all three...

~bonus scenarios~

• the character did not bring enough padding for an entire day at the theme park, and the extra large souvenir cups did not do them any favors; the character needs to choose between wearing soggy padding longer than they'd like or go without protection for the rest of their evening - with their weakened bladder, they're not too sure if ending the day with dry pants is even on the itinerary...

• the theme park has a water ride and the character eagerly goes on it without much thought. when they exit the ride, they need to change more than their shirt and pants soaked from a large drop - their padding also managed to absorb much of the water, and they leave with a tell-tale waddle

• characters who wish they opted for something more heavy-duty; as it turns out, their protection barely protected anything at all (or maybe they just over estimated the capacity, lol), and now they have wet pants without a change of clothes. it's just their luck though, as it seems the theme park has accounted for this exact scenario, and clean overpriced pants, socks, shoes, and even new underwear are available in the gift shop - now, would that be cash or card? 😊

#i spent a full week working on these lmaooo #kept on getting distracted by the scenarios AND fiddling with the formatting until it looked good #omorashi #omocute #omutsu #omo #fictomo #mine #anyway fyi theme parks DO carry overpriced underwear #and usually socks #Definitely pants #everything is so expensive............... #anyway catch me in a theme park gift shop looking at these items like 😈 #also i kept this post vague enough to apply to characters that Aren't littles so ummmmm...... #there's Absolutely another post coming with a couple more scenarios that skew towards the caregiver and little side of things 😅

your skk is so real and true to me. like its Them

this is such a great thing to hear I'm ✨🥺✨

I like to think I can mostly keep them in a permanent "status: ????". is it romantic? is it platonic? could it be both at the same time? perhaps queerplatonic would be a better term? I don't know you're the reader you tell me. The important part is that they got each other's back and can be stupid together and perhaps get their dose of cuddling while they're at it because they need it. Whether they kiss or not is so secondary to me but I NEED them to yearn for each other's company in big and small ways both.

#hence why i have no kissing on my blog except the ONE time i made dazai kiss chuuya's chin to distract him during video games #i like to make them intimate but i feel like physical and emotional vulnerability is more impactful (especially for them) #disclaimer: those are personal preferences and i do enjoy romantic skk a lot AND they can kiss all they want #i'm just also a big fan of how bsd basically has no romance (some crushes) and puts the emphasis on relationships of all kinds #which are all super important in their own ways whether the characters want to or not and not one kind comes before the other #aroace people raise your glass with me for a toast #ask answered #not art #bsd #skk #bungou stray dogs #soukoku

jumping off the back of the post about genres of song lyrics, another thing about tmbg's lyrics in particular is that even when they write about pleasant themes, they still manage to frequently do so through a sinister lens:

the experience of having children and looking after them:

a nice little nightlight protecting a child muses on the shortcomings it would have outside its assigned responsibility:

fantasising about getting high in the park with your crush:

#tmbg #AND. I love it. #please feel free to add to this btw. I feel like there's more flansburgh examples but they're dropping out of my head #I've gone on and on about ''sleeping in the flowers'' already. so I won't repeat myself too much in the tags here #but I can also see how it's intended to come across as playful. like. #it's two people in love having a silly exchange between each other #I also like the little interlude from the nightlight's lullaby-of-sorts to the child to describing how it would make a really bad lighthous #''man it's a good thing I'm not one of those. I'm too small. if I did that then people at sea would crash and drown horribly hahaha #anyway good night'' #and actually re: nanobots. it only just occurred to me #I'd gotten 'newborn citizenship of the micronations'' being a verbose way to describe. babies lol #but is the start of verse about the actual birth of a child and getting so distracted by the preparation and stress #that you almost forget oh yeah. I have this kid now :) #and thinking about how even tho your worries around that are now over you'll focus instead on all the future responsibilities you'll have #how does something written in such a detatched way manage to be so sweet

[daisywords]

"just focus on book 1 without mapping out the entire trilogy" I need you to understand how much I cannot do that

#and not just bc I'm distractable #because the whole thing needs to cohere!!! #also I'm considering adding back in a major plot point from starlightverse version 1.0 bc maybe 14yo me was onto something after all #anyway I find it baffling how apparently so many authors publish a first book without even having drafts of the next ones? #like if it's a planned series don't you need to write the whole thing at least once before committing???? #how does their process work like does the entire plot come to them all at once like holy vision and then they jsut #write it all in order without changing anything???????? #what if you really needed to change something in the first book to make the ending work but it was already published? #I live in fear

it is day six of losing my mind over the peteway hand-holding, what came before, what came after, and what may or may not come later, and today i am thinking about the importance of touch.

or most importantly, of touch as a gesture.

because there's the touch itself, which as two enigmas with touch-based powers that are probably touch-starved for genuine consensual purposeful touch (thank you @marinacourage, i am never recovering from reading those words strung together in that order) is... already a lot. we can infer from what we've been shown/how deliberately they focus on it every time that both their powers work by touching people with their hands, which i imagine must be incredibly alienating for both of them, albeit for different reasons, but specially so for pete who (unlike way who also has to verbally issue a command) seems to need only to touch someone to invade the privacy of their mind even if he doesn't want to.

so, the act of touch alone is incredibly intimate for both of them.

once everything is out in the open, when they both know the other is an enigma and what his powers are, and way knows that pete has been using his power every time he touches him to read his mind, pete could just stop touching him. which is what he does at first.

but then there's my favourite part: both the intent and the manner of the touch. because pete withdraws, but not because he doesn't need or want to keep touching way; he does it because he was using his power surreptitiously, and now he doesn't need to.

pete reaches towards way again, and not only touches him: he slides his own hand in between way's and touches their palms together. pete is touching way, but he makes sure that way is touching him, too. and just like when he bared his neck earlier, pete is putting himself in way's hands, at way's mercy; he can read way's mind, but way can control him if he wants, either to make him back off or anything else. and way doesn't, nor does he draw back even if he looks at pete in surprise.

because pete is showing way he believes in him. he's telling him as much, saying "don't let obligation or fear make you not dare to decide to do the right thing. you are worth more than daddy says". saying "you always have a choice. you still have the right to choose, way".

but he's also telling him with his touch, with the palms of their hands resting together. "i see you", "you are not alone", "i'm here, and i believe in you", "your past sins will not drive me away. wounded hearts can still be cared for".

and also, because of how pete looks at way and because of how emotionally charged this moment is, i cannot help but think about the metaphor of "and palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss" in act 1, scene 5 of shakespeare's romeo and juliet; juliet's evocation of a palmer touching the hand of a saint's statue as an almost holy and transformative experience. a kiss with hands.

#pit babe #pit babe the series #peteway #ending this post with 'k bye' and fading into the shadows #personally i too would have been overwhelmed by emotion and would have turned toward the metaphorical light #just saying #this turned into something of a scene breakdown accidentally #i just wanted to scream about their palms touching #also the palm thing coming from romeo and juliet of all things is not relevant ok don't let that distract you #does this explain why it took me a whole hour to get through this scene on first watch? #because i was bouncing off the walls #also i'm listening to tiffany young's born again and would love to know what in the lee taemin is going on with all this religious imagery #me losing all my hinges: is this anything??

If the PM had somehow been the primary target of all of these plots instead of the ADA I firmly believe half of the situations could have been solved with Kajii. I understand he isn't popular but listen there is a reason he is who they pull out first with a hat trick when shit gets real.

#like PM roundtable meeting have we tried bombing Fukuchi? no? Lets send Kajii #prison arc. easy peasy Kajii. you can just put him in prison for other reasons if he didnt get jailed in place of Dazai then you only have #to sneak the lemon bombs in #this is assuming the ADA gets vamped in this reverse situation instead of the PM #but you know who wouldnt hesitate to bomb the crap out some vamps to death? Kajii. look it isnt what you want but you cant deny it would be #effective #he is isnt even one of my faves but I have to admit as long as he isnt giving his philosophical rants and getting distracted by his own ego #dude is effective af yeah? #bsd kajii #bsd #also dont ask me how he literally would solve the prison arc because i legit was just thinking you know who could have already killed #fyodor if Fyodor can be killed?
