Imagine being a werecat and healing the scratch on the back of Jackson’s neck by lapping at it.

“I thought,” he sighed, closing his eyes as the pain and tension floated away, “I thought cats’ tongues were supposed to be sandpapery.”

You paused. “Do you want it to be?”

Suddenly your own nape was being touched by something warm. Jackson impatiently pressed your head down. Fingers curling against your skin.

Your tongue isn’t for talking right now.

As if it weren’t enough that he requested you lie atop his prone body.

i am so fucking glad cap can just be gay now. like it isnt a question, there isnt a moment of hesitation, it isn't covered up. he just is. and the he that he is is gay. like in previous seasons, that "lets not be too hasty" might have still happened, but the ghosts would make a face. and cap would clear his throat and deflect and bloviate like "by which I mean, of course, that I'm very interested. ahem. in the upcoming weather, and- well, eaughghg" but now he just gets to. find a man attractive. and say it. and no one bats an eye. I'm just so proud of him. and so glad he has that.

like, I can imagine the look on his face when button house holds a pride meetup and everyone is sitting around talking about their experiences and just. casually being queer and existing together. and he can just sit in one of the plastic chairs and listen and close his eyes and pretend for a moment that he is part of that community. yknow what i mean.

#i just want him to be able to sit and listen to queer experiences and see queer people #being openly and casually intimate and it being normal #like that would heal him so right #i know it #bbc ghosts #anyway im so glad they gave him that moment.#i know its a dick joke i know but i think its emotional.#ghost5 #ghosts s5 #ghosts spoilers #the captain

I cannot believe this fandom has dubbed taub the normal one. while house was doing surgery on himself like a common plebeian edgelord, taub (enlightened and bespoke) was screening his calls for help because he was too busy trying to get executed cartel-style by a stripper

#the only reason house ended up in that situation is because he wanted to heal his chronic pain #which is arguably an extremely understandable motive #taub on the other hand was dealing with the fact that he impregnated two women simultaneously #and determined that the best course of action was to be shot like livestock in the parking lot of a club #I can’t stop thinking about how house called taub #like yes if wilson had shown up instead it would’ve been extremely emotionally charged and intimate #but what if taub showed up? what then? that shit would’ve been unspeakably awkward and I deserved to see it #house md #greg house #gregory house #chris taub #hatecrimes md

the thing with bakugou is that he goes from fake confidence to very real, very potent, very tangible confidence as your relationship progresses and it is the most debilitating thing about him. he disarms you so fast with it. it's so sexy of him its a little crazy. for the most part he's still a little insecure but where he's confident, god he is so all in

#aristotle.txt #the ways in which he is self assured in his later life esp.... explodes #there are some wounds that never rlly heal like his emotionaly things w intimate relationships but. But

i have no idea if this is going to make any sense but. as an enochian speaking sam truther. if sam only ever learned most of the enochian he knows from lucifer in the cage. and that's just because he was forced to spend so much time with him and he was never really aiming to learn enochian himself. do you think that him working on improving his sign language for eileen is a deeply personal thing to him. like he loves her so much and this time he is learning someone elses language not out of necessity but out of love commitment and devotion. sam choosing to learn someone elses language this time around because he loves them after years spent learning enochian through lucifer just feels so... intimate and loving to me. do you hear me. do you guys understand what i'm saying. i'm ill.

#spn #sam winchester #eileen leahy #saileen #supernatural #i don't really even have that many thoughts about saileen but this. this hit #like him learning sign language for her with this perspective becomes so intimate and healing #yeah #are you guys seeing my vision

for whatever reason, you're there after the war. for touya—not dabi.

once he's moved out of the hustle and bustle of the city and to an intimate little place, somewhere a bit quieter. with his family, of course, as his entire being just—heals. he's given the time and the space and the patience that he needs, but it's not easy. almost feels like it's never going to be.

he comes and goes in waves; thunderous and loud and all consuming, another crash upon the shore. in anger and pain, in fear and hatred, with a kind of madness that you could never hope to understand.

and then sometimes, he is quiet. when you help change the wrappings on his body or when you offer the help of an arm he doesn't have or when you just sit with him, fully clothed, underneath the ice cold spray of the shower.

in these moments, it's almost like he's been gutted, like everything he had inside was scooped out—and it sounds like it should be terrible. but touya watches the carefulness to your hands and how you tie his shoes and lets you rest your head on his shoulder when you're sitting side-by-side in the tub, because he's still as warm as he's always been.

and you think maybe it isn't so bad that all that was removed, when they sewed him back together; all the anger and pain, the fear and hatred, the madness that's nowhere to be seen in those bright and clear eyes of his.

without all that in the way, you hope—you all do—that something new will grow it its place.

#i'll never get over that scene in casino royale when bond sits side by side with vesper in the shower #it's so intimate and i haven't ever forgotten it #and idk i just like the idea of someone having the patience to sit with touya in the shower like that #until he's ready to come out #lately i've been really into the idea of healing touya 🥺 after it all 🥺#✿ willow writes #✿ thoughts: dabi/touya

my only complaint about the inherent eroticism of healing magic is that it takes away from the inherent eroticism of your lover stitching your wound for you

#like. Astarion stitching a wound because how different can it be from embroidery. enmeshed in the scent of blood all the while.#focus vs hunger. dexterous and having to figure out how to utilize skills in a way he hasn't had to before #the wound is as enticing as is strange. almost uncomfortably intimate gesture of wound-tending another person #Vampires Doing The Wound Tending Does Something To My Brain. Okay. Okay.#but still of course.. lay on hands remains the hottest way to heal etc #playing bg3

#just kidding. im exploding #we went from shoulder taps to shoulder GRAB #look how much they've healed!#you can FEEL how close they are again #we went from mike trying to steamroll past seeing will (devastating) to mike clutching onto to the boy #even after the intimate moment has past he lingers there #the message is loud and clear: mike ain't letting himself lose will again #byler

Love and Light

I wouldn't put too much pressure on not finding your soulmate.

Everyone in your life is with you for the same reason that said person would be. Indeed, there are people who like being with you and have been doing so for a long time in most cases. Twin flames are talked about, saying that both of you have to be at a similar point of development, but isn't that ultimately a romantic relationship? You both share a mentality or similar tastes. If you find yourself alone and overwhelmed by not finding that person, apart from being a spiritual issue, you should try not to force it. It will always come on its own and stay when it truly wants to be with you. The best lesson that can be applied in these cases, far from trying to appeal to someone external, is to like yourself and be comfortable in your own body and mindset. Self-confidence is one of the most valuable attributes in many areas, so by working on yourself, the day will come when your potential emerges naturally, and romantic or non-romantic relationships will also flow much more naturally.

The girlfriend is this other someone who makes it possible for a Black female subject to bring more of herself into consideration, to imagine herself in a wild safety. A woman is encouraged by her girlfriend to be herself radically, even as the heft of doing so might be too much for their connection to bear.

from Black Women, Identity, and Cultural Theory by Kevin Quashie

I think people underestimate the idea of a safe space.

For people who have a troubled home life and a stressful job, there seems to be no escape.

And if you are battling emotional trauma or illness, one of the main ways to heal is to let yourself be vulnerable and relieve/feel that pain.

And if you don’t have a safe place at home and if you don’t have a safe place with friends, you will try to carry that pain for as long as possible before the burden gets too heavy and you have to unload some of emotions/vulnerability onto whoever.

And this is where I’ve seen so many people fall into a cycle, where they trust the wrong people who only traumatize them more. Which makes everything worse and causing unhealthy coping mechanisms and defense strategies that pushes everyone else away. And one of the types of people who aren’t pushed away are people who don’t care about boundaries and are seeking out vulnerable people, who will just traumatize and abuse you more until they can break you down.

And this is such an awful cycle to go through.

And the fear of being in that situation (or being in that situation again) causes you not to trust people. And this is where people either stay in isolation, or they try and find a way to move forward.

One of the key things to learn is how to discern against people you can trust and people you can’t. And that takes having boundaries. If someone lies or manipulated or puts you down or is just flat out self serving that should be a massive red flag. And sure you can try and give people second chances, sometimes trauma responses trigger when there really is not actual danger or threat.

But this is also why it’s important to take things slow.

As much as you want to find a quick solution, and seeing everyone else quickly jumping into relationships, you have to give yourself time to clearly see the situation.

One major red flag is when someone will try to rush the process along.

Entering a new relationship can trigger all sorts of fears and insecurities and vulnerability. And this can make you fragile and a little unsure of yourself. And this is where bad people can rush you before you can really grasp what’s going on and sink their teeth into you and get you attached before you really realize what’s going on.

And that’s scary.

Some people will stay in denial, some people can’t handle the extra trauma so they avoid it and ignore what’s going on, which leads to them going back because they are in denial about what’s wrong.

And part of the problem is since childhood they’ve been taught to ignore that feeling of everything being wrong (parents will argue and fight and maybe even be abusive, and then deny anything is wrong and claim they have a happy home life).

So they ignore that feeling of something being wrong and stay. And then get to a point where it’s just too tough to leave so they stay longer.

And yes this is tragic.

But it’s also never too late to break the cycle and more importantly for a lot of people it’s not too late to avoid that cycle.

There are people out there you can trust.

And you don’t have to treat everything like a ticking time bomb, you can learn to trust people slowly and have a wide social support net.

Really the key is unlearning.

People mimic their relationships around what they know, and their family, family friends, some of their own friends from childhood, toxic situations they’ve been in or see from social media.

And it’s just so difficult for people to tell something is wrong when they’ve never been taught.

They carry a deep shame within them so refuse to open up to people, and have abandonment issues and insecurities, so they see rejection when there is none.

And that mental trap they’ve built for themselves is so strong.

And when they sense rejection they pull away or have defense mechanisms, which push most people looking for healthy relationships away since all they see is someone pulling away or acting out.

But it’s also important to realize that most people are understanding.

If you can tell them what’s going on and communicate that. Tell them you need time but you want to make things work. A lot of people will work with you.

And the ones that don’t, well that’s okay, you want to open up to someone safe and that’s someone who will be understanding.

And that takes personal work.

Learning how to communicate your feelings and needs really isn’t easy, especially when you yourself are unsure of what those even are.

And quite frankly there will be people out there that just aren’t for you.

And you will have to work on your abandonment response because you will have to be okay with that if you ever are going to find the right person for you.

And you will have to believe that there is someone out there for you during this time of pain and insecurity.

But there’s always hope.

And there’s always good people out there.

It just may take work to get there and to do so safely for you.

And that’s okay

Take things slowly and one step at a time.

#relationships #abandonment issues #trauma #healing from trauma #self care #honestly it’s better to have good friends before getting into a relationship #otherwise you risk looking for social support and emotional connection and intimate attachment all in one #and that’s just a lot to put on one person #but whatever you do #take things at your own pace #and if you want to try and get out of your comfort zone #set strong boundaries for doing so #priorize yourself when stepping out of your comfort zone #as that’s when you’re most vulnerable
