I have a question about sparrows
did she ever make any connections during the times she was studying to be an iterator technician or was she kinda like, that one dude in college nobody talked to?
hmm... well!
she didn't have any luck with her "peers", that's for sure. the first two years were hell. she could've been only glad when she became that one dude nobody talked to
the teachers aren't there to make connections with students, of course, but they weren't much help either
the only people she really connected with was the person who taught her violin, the bartender of a place she came to often to Cope and compared to everything else Boreas' annoying aggravating presence eventually became a comfort. if the overseers are watching, nobody will start too big a ruckus

I loved the tanjiro + inoske x tall male reader. The only problem is that I'm not tall. I'm actually really short. So, could you make HCs of tanjiro and inoske for a really short reader that can easily carry them?
For reference, I'm 5'2", and I'm the oldest sibling, so I carry people often.
HI ANON! thank you for such a nice ask! I haven’t written for the demon slayer fandom for awhile but I totally should and I think this is the perfect time, especially since I haven’t had an ask regarding a request in forever lol (i’m so sorry to the redactedasmr fans who follow me and see this lol i am returning to my prime for a bit)
link to tall m! reader here!
Tanjiro + Inosuke x short M!reader
You were the same height as his sister so seeing the two of you next to one another always made him happy
it also gives him easy access for head pats if you like those
hugs are also a big thing you guys love doing
being held in his arms oh the luxury
you can’t help but pout whenever he does something that you would need height for
but you also can’t really blame him
only genes 💔
but that also doesn’t mean he wouldn’t gladly put you up on his shoulders to reach something you can’t
yet you also can’t help but try to do it yourself occasionally and I mean you do succeed…
sometimes
it’s only then one day he caught you trying to reach something in the butterfly mansion and your contraption of a chair and something to help extend your reach in your hand
only issue is that
well
one can only lean…so far
and wam
the chair came down and you swore you saw your life flash before your eyes
luckily you had your hero catch you before your rather untimely death
“Woah are you okay? You need to be careful when you do that! Plus i’m more then happy to help you.”
“uh- so maybe can you perhaps help me get a certain something…?”
“of course!”
When you two met he couldn’t help but mock your height
all the time, “HAHAA MAYBE IF YOU WERE GIFTED WITH HEIGHT YOU COULD DO _____!”
but no matter what he does he somehow will lose when you two fight
because of course
it’s inosuke
HE WANTS TO FIGHT 24/7
despite small height you packed a punch
but it was rather difficult because Inosuke is extremely flexible so both of you were rather evenly matched
but somehow you always get him on the ground with you on top
“Maybe if YOU were gifted with…lesser height? you would’ve beat me” *insert smug smile*
“SHUT UP DAMN”
but despite all the yelling and fighting occasionally you two always have your sweet moments
What’s better than sitting under the shade of a tree as you two speak about whatever
nature?
whatever the next mission may be
nevertheless his arms around you and your head tucked perfectly on his chest
you two embrace the serene setting around you guys

on the bright side:
I'm almost done studying for one of my November midterms, thank God!
my friend introduced me to Penny and Sparrow and I've been listening to them a lot today
am holding Wendy Cope's "The Orange" like an orange in my cardigan pocket
just started Frederick Buechner's Telling the Truth and it is BRILLIANT, my friends
listened to the Field Guide and Lizzy McAlpine cover of Coldplay's Yellow today and I am simply... obsessed
people are trickling back into the dorm after reading week and it is so good to hear more laughter around the table!!
I think efforts toward community cultivating have been super successful, thanks be to God. I set up a prayer wall and people are actually using it! We continue to do Sunday night worship and nightly psalm readings! People are actually taking advantage of the open invitation to come by for tea and a cookie and a chat, which I have been WAITING since last year to happen!
came back from Hadestown on Friday even more convinced that no love is ever wasted, and that was a huge comfort to me.

ok so saw a post recently that implied that thing again where critiques even jokey ones of usamericans are always completely void of nuance. and uh. i dont think thats true.
I just dont really like how I'm not allowed to live my life without understanding the cultural and sociopolitical intricacies (and culture) of a country I'm never going to visit, that don't expand my understanding of my own country's culture and history, coming from people who have no interest in learning about my country at all.
I dont know any of you and you have no interest in knowing me. My ability to spot american anti-blackness isn't helpful in a country with a different kind of anti-blackness.
Its an expectation of American ideas from the citizens of a country whose governments goal is colonialism and a frustration to not fall into the category of people who automatically understand Americanisms.
I dont know what Walmart is but i've Never Needed To Care. How is saying 'I'm not actually interested in every monster energy drink because its the worst brand on the market here' dismissive of American minority groups. I dont really care and its weird to insist that me trying to curate an online experience relevant to me is Xenophobic. idk. block me if its upsetting.? Theres literally millions more people in your country to interact with, and likely a couple thousand young people here who are willing to memorise this shit, but I'm not super interested personally.
'oh no perry hates americans' NO! perry hates having important info about his immediate surroundings squished because he is required by the internet to know about Joe Biden. its just funnier/easier/less frustrating to say 'lol americans are annoying' when this occurs.

Man ty for popping up on my dashboard. I miss voltron, but whenever I try to check what's up I get reaaally bad flashbacks as to how the fandom was. It's kinda worse when u accidentally triggered a community of a popular ship (its not kl@nce) :')))) hnghjgn idk how u do it
voltron is just. such a funny phenomenon. the show was like a C+ at BEST but we all stuck around anyway clinging to the hope that things would eventually improve and then they NEVER did. & so we all had to make do with literal scraps and we were RESOURCEFUL!!! 😭 I have honestly never seen a fandom where the fan content was so divorced from the actual source material like 💀💀💀 and i think this scarcity of good content forced people to be extra creative, which is why the voltron fandom was 1) so genuinely hilarious and 2) full of content producing MACHINES
Literally all we could do was just talk to each other. we were forced to survive off each other’s kindness & it made everyone super co-dependent. it really was a bunch of high schoolers forming parasocial relationships with other high schoolers; of course it got messy!!
also this is such a minor detail in the grand scheme of things but voltron hit tumblr at like the exact time social media became more accessible to people under 13 years old. and like. conflict and discourse is an inevitable part of fandom. but the end result was we had college students picking fights with LITERAL middle schoolers. and I genuinely cannot believe we all thought this was normal behavior!!!!!
