#just in private~

ykw? i'm going to cheat bc i need that delicious content,👃 💞 for Dan pls

ayyy ella, bless you for these!! that second question is one i actually wanted to cover hehe~ 💛

👃 does your oc smell good? do they have a signature scent?

oh, daniel smells amazing. apart from the oils he uses in his beard and mustache, he seems to carry a natural scent of warm mahogany, burnt tobacco, wood fires, and appaloosa plains dirt. he smells like an old and homey barn, abandoned for years but still full of hay and sweet memories. he smells like the rich burn of a cigar in a smoky saloon, very earthy and dark. there's a little spritz of cologne here and there, a faint scent of sandalwood, flannel if you sus it out. he smells like something you want to bury your face in and never leave.

no i am not thirsty for my own damn sim nO I'M NO--

💞 do they treat sex casually or do they view it as something with a lot of emotional weight?

a BRILLIANT question, and it will definitely pertain to the challenge! daniel is not a very sexual guy (hence his fluster at being turned on by rune while very, very cross-faded) and while he is aware of his natural dominance and the ways in which he's very physical, he actually puts a lot of weight and importance into sex and isn't a very horny person in public. (at least... while not in a relationship ;p) growing up as he did, he would have been absolutely murdered is his father ever learned about his sexuality - so that lead to years and years of denial, compulsive heterosexuality, and a general disdain for his sexual self.

daniel feels very vulnerable during sex, even when he's in a dominant position. (he is a switch!) the aspects of his history with his sexuality come into this, naturally, but there's also the reality that what he likes to do and have done to him is very personal!! he doesn't have one-night stands, he doesn't go out on dates - he lives in a big ranch with his three dogs and his horses man!! this dude is simultaneously uninterested and pent tf up.

but daniel will not have sex with anyone before they have a real, tangible connection. he is loyal and develops deep attachments to the people he's had sex with. and, in the biggest switch-up i can think of in this challenge, he will not be having sex with both of our finalists, either! he is either going to be a wedding night man, or i'll leave it dubious as to who got dan into bed on their final nights! how could he possibly look his finalist in the eye when he's boned their competition??? that's just not how he rolls.

(which also means, my dear friends, that daniel will not be kissing anyone in front of the other contestants. he's going to have a hard time with this once we get up there and our number of sims drop, but he's committed to it! the first kisses we'll ever see will be on solo dates alone~)

#ts4 #sim: daniel #;ask #;ask meme #theinfinitedivides #thank you so much for asking these!!! #i had desperately wanted an excuse to talk about that secret rule of mine lolol #despite all his horn knee daniel is practically nonsexual dkfhd #he enjoys his attractions for himself and ogles people for himself but he does it all on like Level 46 of his High Security Brain Prison #and it never shows #that's why he gets a little looser when he's cross-faded~ #so we will definitely see him get more physical and forward #just in private~ #thank you so much for asking!!! #and who am i kidding of course i simp over this man

What we need to do is convince all the disney adults in america that high speed rail would be a preferable way of getting to disneyworld compared to driving or flying. We could maybe harness their fondness for the monorail or something, but this is a group of people that has time, income, and passion that we could leverage. If we could direct 5% of the enthusiasm they have for limited edition popcorn buckets into calling their representatives and demanding high-speed interstate rail, we could get it by 2030

#at this point I don't care whether rail is privately or publicly funded #I'll ride the Mickey Mouse Express if it means not having to drive or fly everywhere #if you're on the disneyland side of the country I just don't have as strong a grasp on your psychology as a demographic #but I went to school with some twice a year disneyworld people #if you are a disney adult and you're reading this please don't take it as an insult #I don't think it comes off that way but you never know

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?

#almost wrote the champagne line as ''effervescent'' but legit could not write it without saying ''effervescent like a snail'' #ah tumblr... #writeblr #warm up #idk . having trouble writing rn #ps i don't like to talk about it . it is my medical information. but before you ask. yes this is about being on the spectrum #i really don't like when ppl make my writing about how im [whatever ID]. i want it to ring true for the people who it rings true for #i don't want it to be like ''awwwww look at this person!!! she's the EXCEPTION!!! :)" ..... #no.... not really..... #idk something gross happens whenever i admit to certain conditions and i turn into like inspiration p*rnography #like yes they actually let us use keyboards these days #furthermore i just... dont feel comfortable talking about this part of me. i had too bad of a childhood. adhd is one thing... #this one im like. still coming to terms with. which is like. my own journey. #idk. just please be kind. some things are more private than others. this one feels private to me. #i do not know how to help others w/this . and i do not know how to help myself. i will talk about it if im ever ready. idk if that will #actually ever happen #ty in advance i love u im kissing you we are kissing somewhere on the spectrum

how I imagine Grian telling the gang it’s time for a new season

#eliza draws #life series #secret life #double life #limited life #last life #third life #grian #meme format #life series cast #all of them #this is not indicative of how I imagine everyone heights I was just putting people where they would fit lol #originally posted to my private twitter but the more I look at it the funnier I think it is #so i’m sharing it with the masses #I hope u like it :)

friend wanted to see my tumblr, and when i told him i can’t show it to him bc it’s basically my personal diary he went “oh so I can’t see it but a bunch of strangers on tumblr can??” he literally does not get me. no one will get me like the people in my phone get me

#It’s just so different #even though it’s public it still feels secret and safe. i feel comfy sharing a lot more on here than I do in my actual day to day life lol #in my head I’m also just speaking to myself 90% of the time which helps #if a friend off tumblr saw my thoughts I’d feel so weird ab it #esp bc they might get the vagueposting about certain situations and tell mutual friends #no thank u. this is for me. I’m not about to start censoring my thoughts bc someone I know knows my tumblr #u guys literally saw me have LIVE BREAKDOWNS #meanwhile I’ll have the worst fucking day in history and tell no one about it. I’m already cripplingly private but way more so in real life #this is basically a low stress journaling outlet for me. it’s so important for me to maintain the separation #like this is actually my diary & has been so handy for letting out emotions / articulating thoughts / staying on track !! #& I’ve met so many kind people on here who actually get me. which is so hard to find irl bc I’m surrounded by pre-med gunners/overachievers #who are by standard not very good w emotion & can be competitive/judgmental. or at least it’s hard for me to be vulnerable in front of them #and I’m part of that crowd so I reserve my emotions only to a handful of very close friends #it’s nice to hop on here and express negative emotions!! or positive emotions!! just whatever I want and it’s low stress and people get me #I don’t have to worry about judgment or competitiveness etc etc #like everyone on here is so kind & nice & understanding. & just a breath of fresh air from the types I run w. it’s just nice to have this #so idk that’s why I think I’ll always be strict about keeping the worlds separate. it just works #p

I'm pissed off to see that Palestine is not trending on here. I know that we all have interests we want to talk about, but this week is another global strike, Palestine should be the number one trending, and it's not even number 10. You can put aside your interests for one week. Bisan and so many others are begging us to use our voices to pressure our governments to put an end to this genocide. MILLIONS of people are counting on us, PLEASE don't look away no matter how upset and tired you are. We have the luxury of being able to just put our phones down and going off to do something to feel better. But just this once, for ONE WEEK, you can put aside your discomfort and SPEAK UP. How many people have to die for you to care.

#im sorry if this comes off as harsh but im just so. tired. #how hard is it for you to stop buying from shit companies that actively fuel genocide #how hard is it for you to stop publicly posting about your interests and speak up #obviously you can take time to yourself and talk about your interests in private #but this is TOO IMPORTANT #free palestine #free gaza #eyes on palestine #eyes on rafah #hands off rafah #palestine

First names are something to be used sparingly and on special occasions😌

#it just became habit for maul to use everyone’s last names #and he knows obi-wan goes a little crazy when he uses his first name instead #it’s their equivalent of showing ankles #Maul also calls him obi-wan when he’s particularly fond or emotional #but only in private #milks artsies #star wars #darth maul #maul #jedi maul #obi wan kenobi #obi wan #obimaul #jedi obimaul au #anakin skywalker

James: i'm so tired of listening to sirius and moony hooking up

Peter: i'm so tired of listening to you and regulus hooking up

your boyfriend has what social media likes to call a resting bitch face. to some extent, it's true. your wonderful partner has a mug that screams "get close to me and i'll bite your fingers off!"

jaw so taut you can see him grinding his teeth when he gets irritated, phone permanently on do-not-disturb, headphones in everywhere he walks, a scowl etched deep into his face like he was born that way... everything about him is just so off putting unless you're one of his most diehard fans (which, unfortunately, he has many of).

everyone thinks your boyfriend is too rude. too blunt. too avoidant of socializing like a regular human being to really be in a relationship.

but what they don't know is that your phone number is the only one listed to bypass his phone's do-not-disturb status. what they don't know is that he carries around a picture of you in his wallet from your very first date. what they don't know is that he has a tendency to blow money on you spontaneously just because you looked mildly interested in something.

he's got your favourite things listed in his notes app. he knows your regular starbucks order like the back of his hand. he's an expert in making you flustered. and he's proud of it.

they don't know your boyfriend is a total sweetheart behind closed doors, away from the prying eyes of the public.

“irreplaceable”

the one word where morty figured out this wasn’t really rick.

and no wonder morty believes rick could just up and replace him any day. because there’s infinite versions of him, after all. because there’s infinite other things that are better than him. because, for the longest time, every other day, rick kept on telling him how replaceable he is.

no wonder he was scared that hug wouldn't have been real.

but, truth is, rick would’ve jumped after him (if he had thought morty was in real danger).

truth is, rick would have performed in front of a crowd for him.

truth is, rick would anything, just about anything, for him. he would travel the longest distances just to get him back. he would spoil him with gadgets and gifts. he would forgo the chance to see his wife again just so he could spend the rest of the evening with him.

truth is, morty was wrong.

sometimes i think about how garak is the kind of old gay to wear a black turtleneck and wire rimmed glasses to read a book at a bar and who tries so hard to seem mysterious because that’s the only way he can even tangentially flirt, but everyone can tell it’s a sad old man ploy except this one guy, who has the reputation for being the shiniest naïvest kid on the block but the two of them start dating and everyone’s like oh no garak’s taken advantage of this hot young thing and conned him into hooking up with him but then they find out the kid actually has a fucked up intense cold machiavellian streak and that garak is using the fake mysteriousness to cover up the fact that he did war crimes for the CIA and is emotionally destroyed by his dishonorable discharge and somehow their initial guesses were kind of also correct but it’s bashir who has garak in a chokehold actually??

and everyone goes jesus christ thank god you two found each other you should never involve anyone else in whats going on with you.

#ds9 #garashir #they do edgeplay in private but the rumor gets around bc bashir bought the books from the kink bookstore and the shopkeeper is a huge gossip #almost everyone has fucked garak but it’s not like in a good way he’s just like messy and forward when he’s drunk

“I can’t believe Tom Cruise of all people would stand up for his agent, a Muslim Libyan-American woman, who was being publicly blacklisted for her support of Palestine and calling out the ongoing genocide, including making a rare in-person appearance to CAA headquarters in LA to express his support for her. What a strange person who can ever guess what opinions he will have.”

Look. I’ve studied Tom Cruise a lot. One could even call me a Cruisologist. (Not to be confused with. Well.) And, it’s actually really easy to predict Tom Cruise’s opinion on something. The tricky part is whether it will be made public in a timely manner or not and, if it’s made public at all, will it be a lede buried in favor of pushing a narrative sold on background by a studio exec he pissed off because he didn’t roll over and take their bullshit.

#can’t wait for someone to yell at me for this post so let’s get some things over with: #I know more than you. I don’t care. #but for the record: this post isn’t ‘tom cruise: perfect human who’s never done anything wrong’ #it’s ‘tom cruise: complicated person who has lived his entire adult life under an intense microscope and as a result is incredibly private #and tends to not share anything good or bad which has allowed tabloids to fill gaps as they please for clicks.’ #I wouldn’t say he’s a Good Person. I’m just saying he’s a Person.

friendly reminder that creators within fandom (whether it be gifs, edits, meta, fanfiction or fanart) choose to take time out of their day to provide you with new content for free.

it’s easy to take it for granted since it only requires a few seconds/minutes to scroll through your dash, but it’s important to remember that behind that there are often hours, if not even days, of work and dedication.

#bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #i have noticed this general sense of entitlement. feeling completely justified in reducing private blogs to mere content machines #policing them on the type of content they want to post #OR expecting them to account for a lack of content of certain characters within fandom #no matter what reach a blog may have. behind it there is always a person who is just as passionate about sharing their work as you are #we’re all just here to have fun after all #🙏 there needs to be more appreciation all around 🙏 #it speaks
