The thing about the r slur is that people who are using it again are indeed using it as a slur. This isn't a word that is being reclaimed. This is a word that is once again being used 100% as a slur. You're being a bigot if you're using it against others. Straight up. There isn't another argument to be made. Knock it tf off.

Focus is Feeling: Forcing Your Subconscious to Change Your Reality
Have you ever noticed that when you're in a bad mood, everything around you seems to be negative?
But on the other hand, when you're feeling great, everything around you seems to be positive and full of possibilities?
Start using it to your advantage.
Is it possible to change your reality?
What is reality, anyway?
Have you ever noticed that when you’re in a bad mood, everything around you seems to be negative?
The people, the weather, even the traffic – it all seems to be conspiring against you.
But on the other hand, when you’re feeling great, everything around you seems to be positive and full of possibilities.
This is because, as Tony…

kirbytober 2023 21 + 26 : fav characters + ship [ prev || next ]
putting this at the top because it's extremely important but i received a message implying that some folks headcanon these two as drastically different ages. you may headcanon whatever you like of course, but in my work i firmly think that they're both full adults who are at least 25+. this is abundantly clear in my work. i'm not interested in headcanoning any of them as literal children and i would never touch that shit. dni if you think that sort of ship would actually be okay. don't be a freak. thanks.
very typical to take your favs and then also shove them together but isn't that the point. anyway i have literally never seen anybody else ship them (if you're out there... hello... 😭) despite them both being very main characters and i don't know why?? they could be so cute i think...
they are both industrious adventurers, prolific hard-workers (team task doers), and a little cheekily competitive!
i think that bandee is no stranger to a wide variety of close and intense relationships; he's beloved by many and loves them all equally but distinctly in turn. magolor on the other hand has been sooo isolated and lonely for such a long-ass time, he barely knows how to be friends let alone really care for someone. bandee is smart enough to be suitably wary but kind enough to give him a chance despite that, which i think would knock him off his non-existent feet instantly. in reply, magolor could give him something unique by loving and prioritising him utterly singularly, in a way bandee wouldn't even have realised he was missing
in awtdy (pictured in the sketch page; if you see a tattered looking magolor in my art it's probably this au) in particular they are both thrown into the angst soup together and come out insanely trauma bonded at the hip. their friendship/relationship is central to the plotline; together they're working on a solution to the timeline anomaly, while also hiding that they even really know each other the whole time

Cross seems very serious, does he ever let up sometimes? Are there any moments of him being more bubbly?
Ps, can I get a hug from horror? I feel like he’d give the best bear hug EVER!!!
Cross: I'm not serious. I'm numb. My universe's friends and family are dead. I don't know how to contact my old friend(s). Everything I ever knew is gone and it's been an absolute wreck trying to adjust to the new norm.
Cross: …and now I can't even make a short walk, or shower, or stand for long- leaping and running is out of the question, something I used to be able to do like second nature. My whole right side hurts, and it randomly gets worse for no reasons.
Cross: I can't even look at art supplies without flinching and feeling- bad? Like I'm- I don't know. It's stupid and frustrating.
Cross: It was bad before, but it only used to be paint brushes and paints. Now it's paper and crayons and pencils and anything that can be used to draw.
Cross: …i can't even get off this stupid floor. my leg hurts too much
Cross: (..i don't want to go back to bandages everywhere, but it hurts.)

my lover's the sunlight [ao3]
Tommy does not giggle. But the noise that comes out of his mouth very much sounds like a giggle. “Christ, Evan, you can’t say that. People don’t turn gay.”
“Maybe that’s true, hey, I don’t know,” Buck is grinning from ear to ear. He’ll continue with this line of bullshit if it’ll get Tommy laughing again. “But I maintain that’s what happened with us. Maybe you didn’t ‘turn me’ −” He adds, using his free hand to make air quotes as he talks, while the other is enjoying holding Tommy’s hand across the table, their fingers intertwined, “− but you definitely did something.”
Tommy’s shaking his head, but the look in his eyes is so fond. Buck can’t tear his gaze away. His cheeks are starting to hurt because he can’t stop smiling but he doesn’t care.
“Yeah. I kissed you.”
“Exactly!” Buck gestures enthusiastically. “Turned by a kiss. Like a vampire bite.”
Tommy laughs again, then leans closer over the table and lowers his voice before he speaks. “I know you’re joking, and I love it, I do, but can you consider the fact that we are in a queer space right now?”
Buck’s face falls. He glances around to see if anyone’s overheard them, wondering what it is that he got wrong. “Are vampires... homophobic?”
“No, that’s not − oh, good God. Come here,” Tommy pulls his chair around to get closer to his boyfriend and grabs him by his neck and pulls him close to shut him up with a kiss. When they break apart, breathless and with kiss-swollen lips stretched ear to ear, Tommy finally says, “For your own sake, don’t go around telling people that homosexuality is some kind of... infectious thing. Okay?”
As usual, it takes Buck a moment to realise that he has once again unintentionally put his foot in his mouth, when all he was trying to do was joke around with his boyfriend.
“Oh. Okay, yeah. Shit.”
“There we go.”
“Sorry.”
“Don’t be,” Tommy puts his hand on Buck’s cheek and plants another quick kiss on his mouth. “To be honest, I am feeling a little bit...” he trails off with a breathy exhale.
Buck is on the edge of his seat.
“What?”
Tommy shrugs. “Smug?” he mumbles. For the first time since they met, Tommy actually looks slightly embarrassed.
Buck barely hears him over the loud music thumping from the speakers overhead, but he hears him alright, and his face splits into a grin. “What, about turning me?” he teases, knocking his knee against Tommy’s under the table. “That’s so misguided, Tommy. People don’t turn gay.”
Tommy closes his eyes and sighs, feigning exasperation. “What am I gonna do with you, Evan?”
Buck leans in even closer, brushing his lips across Tommy’s jaw, kissing his way to whisper close to his ear, like sharing a secret meant only for his boyfriend. “I have some ideas, actually.”
