I genuinely don’t understand how people can watch the body swap episode and enjoy seeing Faith inhabit Buffy’s body and WORSE objectifying (Faith)Buffy being like “omg she’s so hot she slayed so hard I love Buffy in black leather”
Not only is SMG’s FRIGHTENING thinness even more apparent in Faith’s traditional wardrobe showcasing just how much she is practically skin and bone due to her being under immense stress and being so overworked which always just tears at my heart in so many ways but we are witnessing the WORST violation of Buffy’s body and autonomy!!!! I’m genuinely just sick the entire episode.
Bad enough she almost gets Buffy killed and finally gets her wish of (temporarily) stealing Buffy’s life which she has wanted to do since her arrival in season 3 (only to STILL not understand Buffy’s perspective until she does it again in a far less invasive way in season 7 after Buffy allowed her back into her home and she still never properly apologizes she’s like hehe turns our your life is actually pretty miserable and I don’t want it because I can’t handle the stress and constant pressure you’re under…. Oops!🙃) but unlike when Willow takes Buffy’s free will and autonomy away (where she at least still retains all the memories after the fact of everything that happened so she doesn’t have to wonder and can process them when she’s ready) Buffy has ZERO CLUE what all Faith allows to happen to her body while she’s not in it. And Faith isn’t unaware or passive about the power she holds and the things she can do to Buffy’s body in the position she’s in - she literally tells Riley, BEGS HIM - to do all of the nastiest things he’s ever wanted to do “to this body” she WANTS Riley to do things to Buffy’s body Buffy herself WOULD. NOT. ALLOW. it is one of THE MOST insidious lines in the entire series to me because not only is that an absolutely stomach churning, bone-chilling thing to say but then after the fact when angel asks what Faith did to upset Buffy so much she’s like “I slept with her boyfriend” like UMMMM WHAT??? EXCUSE ME???? That is literally the absolute LEAST of your crimes bitch be so fucking for real. This horrific violation is minimized down to oh well Buffy is just insecure about sex and especially sex in comparison to Faith like GROSS GROSSSSSSS. The entire thing is SO DISGUSTING and misogynistic AND it is part of why I genuinely do not give A FUCK about the events of seeing red as far as my love of spuffy goes because while that was absolutely the most traumatizing to watch not only was it so completely out of left field and out of character that it just doesn’t make sense in the narrative and is so obviously joss whedon coming over the loud speaker and going “women who enjoy sex with men I don’t approve of should and always will be punished” but it is the ONLY time someone hurts her in this way and PROPERLY APOLOGIZES AND MAKES THE PROPER AMENDS!!!!
So until EVERY. SINGLE. violation of Buffy’s body is treated with the same level of outcry seeing red is by all the anti-spuffys I genuinely DO NOT CARE. I DONT CARE because I’m just so done with spuffy girlies having that thrown in our faces by the morality police who are listening to the tiny white male puritanical cop in their head.
ALSO the fact that Riley not only doesn’t think ANYTHING is off about Buffy (when Faith is doing an absolutely HORRIFIC JOB of acting like Buffy) so he not only sleeps with her BUT TELLS HER HE LOVES HER FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!??!?!?!? WHILE SHE IS LITERALLY PINNED BENEATH HIM?!?!?!?!? AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!! RILEY FINN I WILL KILL YOU IF IT IS THE LAST THING THAT I DO.

“You just don’t want to get better.”
I don’t want to do PT that makes my life a waking hell. I don’t want to cry myself to sleep with pain. I don’t want to have dangerous and risky surgery that has almost no chance of actually helping me. I don’t want to take medication that could make me seem able-bodied but would fucking destroy my fragile internal inner workings of hormones, the other medications I’m taking, familial allergies to certain medical substances, etc.
I want to use a wheelchair.
If that means I don’t want to get better, then yeah I don’t want to get better. Fuck being ‘healthy.’ I want to LIVE.

as fun as that was, and i would never stop doing fun gift art for the world
its disheartening, and hurts, to try and get engagement from people. to struggle to get asks for weeks. and i know im not the most active blogger, but as soon as i offer free art, i get swamped with asks. where is that beforehand? i dont know what to say entirely, it just makes me depressed. the fact that people are so quick to jump on my ask memes but wont talk to me or this blog otherwise. i dont know what to do
I don’t want to tell anyone that it’s bad to ask for it, or that it’s bad to receive it. Because that’s not what I’m trying to say. But it just sucks to get low engagement and people only interact with you to receive art, often without giving you anything in some way. It’s fine if it happens sometimes, but it’s exhausting when it’s repeated. It makes you feel like people only want you for free gifts that you put time and effort into but won’t give you the same effort
I guess I’d just like to encourage everyone to send regular asks to each other, even if it’s on anon. That’s all I’d want to see not even just for myself but mostly for others

Just relax
Synopsis: Time’s brain needs a break and Legend needs a nap
warnings: none
categories: fluff, lots of fluff
~~~~
Time sighed and turned over onto his side. His eyes opened slightly and fixated themselves on the empty beds beside him. His mind raced with thoughts of the chain's upcoming battle.
The Links were currently residing in Saria town, a small settlement in Hyrule’s era. Hoards of monsters were spotted travelling straight for it days prior to their arrival. So the group made sure to pick up their pace and warn the villagers.
Time and Legend were up for most of the night discussing battle strategy. They had thought of a pretty good plan that seemed like it would work. But…The proclaimed “old man” of the group wasn’t so sure. They were lacking in the way of potions and skill. Yes, they had fought against many hoards of monsters before but the group was certainly not fighting the way they usually would.
The oldest Link rolled onto his back and groaned, sliding a hand down his face in frustration. He was worried something would go wrong. If they mess anything up then it could very well cost a life.
“Crap…” Link mumbled and decided that no matter how hard he tried he wasn’t going to get the nap he had hoped for. But just before he could sit up, the door creaked open and in came Warriors- carrying Legend? What?
“Let me go Wars!” The Vet slapped his arms but the Captain just rolled his eyes and continued to make his way over to Time, who was more than a little confused. But the scene was a bit amusing.
“Hey, old man,” Warriors deadpanned and dropped his companion beside Time, causing the younger hero to yelp. “He could hardly keep his eyes open and practically fell over in his chair.”
Time raised a brow and shuffled a little to the side. He opened his mouth to ask what exactly he was supposed to do but Warriors had cut him off. “Sorry to interrupt your nap, but he needs sleep. Keep him here for me, ok?”
“Um…” was all the eldest could respond with before the sight of the Captain's royal blue scarf disappeared behind the now closed door. He turned his attention to Legend who was laying on his back and had draped an arm over his eyes.
“Don’t worry, I’m not planning on staying. I’ll get a coffee or something and I’ll be fine.” The Veterans voice was quiet and his words almost slurred. He definitely sounded tired.
Now, Time had two options: keep Legend here and cause the Vet to hate his guts or let him go and…hm, that wouldn’t do anyone much good. If Legend was dead tired then tonight's battle wouldn’t go over very well for him.
The younger Link sat up and sighed. He almost seemed hesitant to get up. That’s it. Time practically lunged forward and wrapped his arms tightly around Legends middle. “GAH!” The latter yelled as he was violently dragged down and pulled against the former's chest.
“What the- let me go Old man!” Legend tried prying Time’s arms off of him but his grip only tightened. “Are you trying to kill me or something?! Let me go!” He continued to squirm in the oldests grasp.
Time chuckled. “No can do. Capn’s orders.” He smirked and continued to laugh at the Veterans failed escape attempts. But after a minute of struggling and whining, Legend settled with a long and exaggerated sigh.
Time smiled and loosened his grip slightly. “Feeling better?” He joked.
Legend crossed his arms and hmph’d. “I hate you.”
“I love you too.”
A silence then fell over the room. Not uncomfortable, it was actually very comfortable. Time turned onto his side with Legend still in his arms. He shuffled a little before sighing contently as he felt the younger hero ease in his grasp.
And surely enough, after mere minutes of Legend relaxing in his predecessor's arms, his breathing slowed and a few quiet snores followed suit. Time’s grin widened. He liked this. He liked having his brothers so close to him. That way he could always know where they are and protect them.
Maybe he was overreacting, maybe it was his “fatherly instincts” the others often joked about but he didn’t really care. Time felt no shame in wanting to protect his family. Because Legend, and the others, were most definitely a part of his family now.

note: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIME AND LEGEND!!!🎉 this isn’t very birthday related but that’s ok. I write for myself often but haven’t posted anything anywhere since 2020. I literally just came up with this idea while trying to get out of bed this morning. It’s short but I hope you liked it regardless!

Thankfully I’m only getting the after effects on my dash, but I’ve come on here this morning to see Shannon hate.
I am not a Shannon fan by any means - what she did was wrong on so so many levels, but if you cannot understand the nuance of circumstance playing into someone’s behaviours then I suggest you stop watching the show. 911 is really good at giving people fleshed out and flawed characters.
Shannon was young and put into an difficult situation with clearly very little support. Having a child young is never easy, but to do that when you’re alone, while your husband is overseas in the military, while his parents are over bearing and judgemental is even harder. Then throw into that a diagnosis of CP and your mother - in a different state, being diagnosed with cancer that turns out to be terminal.
That’s horrific.
My own mother was diagnosed with and died of cancer when I was 18/19 and I was living 300 miles away and alone with zero support. It broke me and lead to me attempting suicide 3 times. I can’t imagine adding a child into that mix. I also don’t think I’d have abandoned a helpless child who needed me, but I can imagine how utterly stressed, depressed and alone she felt so I can completely understand how she would’ve felt pushed into the decisions she made.
We will never know what relationship she would’ve had with Chris when she returned because she didn’t get any chance to show us. But we can give her some slack and the benifit of the doubt - that she had the intention of staying in his life - that her request for divorce was her wanting to stay and be there for Christopher - that it was her recognising that her and Eddie were to broken to make anything work but that she could rebuild some form of relationship with Chris.
