My favourite kind of hugs are those one armed ones where your fave pulls you in with their forearm behind your neck. Caging you in with the bend of their elbow as they hold you against their body. Their other hand stuffed into their pocket or hanging at their side, to make it seem like they’re unbothered by the contact and they’re just doing this for you. For your comfort, to make you happy. When really there’s no other place they’d rather be. Resting their chin against the top of your head as you cling to them, and just the faintest movement as they sway you side to side.
It lacks so much intimacy, and yet captures the very essence of it.

Headcanon of The Day™ 💝
Y'know how everyone says "Aye aye!" instead of "yes" (excluding Barnacles, who afaik has only said it once/maybe twice)? Well 👀, I headcanon that NO ONE ever said it....... until Kwazii showed up.
When Kwazii first joined, he might've felt insecure or conflicted about his pirate vs. Octonaut identity (side headcanon: he still does sometimes). So, in order to make him more comfortable, the rest of the crew began to encourage and mimic some of his mannerisms; most notably his use of "Aye!".
Then it just ✨ stuck ✨.

no but when mhok told day to think of his plate as a clock and told him where on the clock the food was that really reminded me of one of my favorite movies from when i was in middle school which is also about blind people and where the title of the movie itself is a reference to thinking of the plate as a clock: it's called "erbsen auf halb 6" which literally translates to "peas at half past 5" (yes, "halb 6" means "half past 5", yes the numbers are different, don't worry about it)
the plot of the movie is a theater director losing his eyesight in a car accident and him being a director who kinda needs to see what's going on on stage he really doesn't take his sudden loss of vision very well. he gets assigned a helper/mentor, a lady who is blind herself and who's been blind since birth and is supposed to help him adapt to a life with disability. he ultimately runs away from her when he learns that his mother is sick to go find his mother in russia and say goodbye before she dies. his helper/mentor chases after him and they end up on a travel adventure together
it's been over a decade since i last saw the movie but i think at some point they eat and they talk about how the peas sit on the plate where it would be half past 5 on a clock?? anyway, that moment with mhok and day at the restaurant where mhok tells him the position of day's food with the help of an analog clock really reminded me of that movie
edit: i went to look for the trailer of that movie and i found the scene in question!! turns out they're at a restaurant and the helper/mentor character goes "if you imagine the plate as a clock... what numbers is the food lying on?" and the waitress is all confused going "i'm sorry?"
there are no eng subs for the trailer buuut the moment is at the very end at 2:11:
see it's a real movie i didn't just make it up kjdfkjdfk

one of the most infuriating things that happens in discussions about trans people is like, when a transphobe talks about how its just SOOOO easy to access gender affirming care, it's so easy to get on hrt or get referred for surgery etc... some of you dense motherfuckers respond to this by saying "no!!! it's not easy!!!! its so hard!!!" & listen. i KNOW that it IS HARD for many of us. and in many places it's getting harder. but tell me this: isn't the goal, eventually, to make it easy? not just easier than right now, but genuinely easy for a transgender person to access the care they need on whatever timeline they want, no matter how fast or slow? so if you spend all your time right now combating transphobia by insisting that transition is difficult and taxing and traumatizing, what are you going to do if and when it's none of those things? if there is no endless suffering and million hoops?
when someone says "it's too easy to transition" in order to justify their own transphobia, and you say "no it's not", you're also saying "if it were, your feelings would be justified". which is already kind of a terrible implication without taking into consideration that what most of these people mean by "too easy" is "possible". they mean that you can transition and they don't want you to. point blank. when you say it's difficult, they think "good. it should be harder". it will never be difficult enough to not be easy to them.
i am literally so sick & tired of all of us throwing each other under the bus in order to advocate for a future that is fucking miserable and awful. when someone tells you their nightmare scenario is transgender people being happy, you should not be responding to that by reassuring them that actually, transgender people are miserable and always have been and always will. when someone complains about how easy transition is you should say "good". we are never getting out of this fucking crab bucket if we're not only pulling each other down but also telling other people that pushing us back in would be fine if we were a little closer to the top.

the most autistic thing i've done in the past year is when i typed out a transcript of the text from the entire main storyline in Pokemon Legends: Arceus into a wordpad document, complete with basic image descriptions, and then i didn't even write the fanfic which was supposedly the reason i started that whole project in the first place

top 5 fanfics!
OUGH. AUGH.
Flash Facts of Bart Allen (a YJTV AU fanfic. From Captain Cold's perspective, how he learns about Bart Allen and Impulse. the story is so so comforting to me, and the podfic is impeccable. I use it to calm down. exclusively the first two chapters, though)
The Long Way Home (AKA "The Labyrinth Fic". a DC Jason Todd & Tim Drake fic; they get trapped in a horrible labyrinth. It gets real dark, but boy does it pay off. it's so good.)
Threat As Greeting (a Murderbot fanfic from ART's perspective. How does a bored and overpowered spaceship start a friendship with a rogue robot? this is how.)
Bajo la arena sin poder salir (an Encanto fic post-movie centering around a Bruno with rather severe mental issues. I love him.)
A Breach of Trust (a mob psycho 100 fic. the mob psycho 100 fic. a long fic. It's really dark, heavy, a difficult read, but it's worth it. the story is so fiercely committed to healing and hope even in the absolute worst circumstances.)

The most frustrating part of engaging in any of this discourse with pro-Israel people is that they claim there's just something ineffable about "seeing and understanding" how supporting Palestinian liberation is directly calling for the eradication of Jewish people (as if that type of rhetoric isn't exactly how actual antisemitism often manifests in online spaces but that's a topic for another day)
They get through people debunking the "the land belongs to the people of Israel anyway" argument and the "LGBTQ Palestinians are safe in Israel" argument and the "Genocide isn't what's happening here so you should educate yourself" argument and when all of those points are meticulously disproven over and over they still stand with "Well, myself and your Jewish friends see the hate you have in your heart for us" and it truly doesn't matter what you say at that point because even if you yourself are Jewish they will claim that refusing to support the state, government and military of Israel is inherently hateful and bigoted, as if a religious ethnostate is some inherent human right that is being taken away from them. I know many of them are blinded by the relentless propaganda that's been around their whole lives and how hard it is to break free from a belief system that is so tied to your core identity as a human being but it is so frustrating watching people being led straight to the point over and over again and just turning around and refusing to see it.
It's also so frustrating to see people using the momentum of this movement to casually tack on actual antisemitism to these discussions, as if having Jewish people in positions of power is why the US bends over backwards to excuse the actions of Israel and not, yknow, the fact that our government directly benefits from having a military stronghold in the middle east. I've talked to some well-meaning pro-Palestine friends irl who casually use antisemetic talking points because they've ALSO bought into the narrative that Israeli = Jewish and so they blame the actions of Israel and the IDF on Jewish people's "religious values" and ignore the fact that this conflict really has almost nothing to do with religion itself and everything to do with capitalism, imperialism and maintaining the US's status as a so-called "global power".

Chu Wanning if he couldn’t make wontons (ft. the uncooked batch in the background) 🥹👍
Hi yes this took SO LONG to make, and I was missing quite a few of the ingredients (like the Black Vinegar and Garlic Chili Sauce) so I had to improvise 🙇🏻♀️ I also didn’t have the wonton wrappers so I had to make them from scratch which was PAINSTAKINGLY time and stamina consuming (but hey, living the canon Chu Wanning experience)
Definitely messed up and it looks nothing like the picture in the RanWan wonton recipe I used but it was super fun to make and I hope my friend and I can enjoy it
Link to the RanWan wonton recipe ↓↓↓

I don’t do fantasy gym due to who I am realistically as a person but I wish I were the kind of b*tch who could muster up the necessary energy and executive function to stay on top of a fun thing with no real consequences like that. I’m living vicariously through all of u

ill never forget in this one artemis fowl book where there was a set of people (the villains duh) who despised animals, they purposefully hunt down and killed the last ones of a species and then served them for dinner, but some of them hated animals soooo much they were vegetarian and wouldn't want to touch them. Like that was wild, I don't even remember the rest of the plot, except that they also captured holly short since she too was a rare species

I sometimes remember this one time back in church when I was like 7 or 8 years old, I was messing around with a girl in my sunday school class (undiagnosed adhd & autism made me a very fidgety and bored kid) and to get me to stop, she told me that she heard the voice of god tell her personally that I should stop
