😚 - When one gets sick, what does the other do?  (for gus x matty please :D )

Matt would be the biggest drama king when he’s sick. He acts like he’s dying every time. Gus just tries to make him as comfortable as possible and reassure him that he’s fine and try to find ways to distract him.

On the other hand, I think Matt would love being in charge and taking care of Gus, making sure he stays in bed and eats and drinks enough fluids etc. He can be very domestic.

#thanks for the ask #secretly-of-course

HE WAS SO MAD

#classic Kakashi DID disobey orders for his kids #It's insane when people say he'd never act rebellious against konoha when the evidence is there in the classic #or course things changed in shippuden #but in the classic? he went to the land of the waves mission without reporting the the classification was wrong #because he wanted to help tazuna properly #he allowed sasuke to fight in the preliminaries with the cursed mark and secretly sealed it went it was over #he hide the fact that a three men cell was needed for the chuning exams to give sakura the space to decide for herself what she wanted #he was all the time hiding information and acting on his own #even when he says later that he couldn't do much for them it's not because he didn't try #the village fucked him over they set him up for failure and in some sense he knew it #he accepted to be their sensei because he cared for them and he was on their side #I'm fully convinced that if shippuden had followed the classic as it was supposed to do kakashi would have rebelled in more than one way #but it didn't happen :( so #Kakashi Hatake #naruto #Tsunade Senju #Naruto Classic

You may ask “Emry how do you imagine it goes down if Neil and Andrew are comfy enough to use the pool they miraculously have to themselves”

Shameless flirting and simply enjoying each others company ✨

#i forgot Andrew’s stretch marks :( #I only just barely added it to his design so it’s not in my head yet #but I remembered the little trail of moles on his stomach #I think Neil would like them 🫣 #but yes Neil asks to take a few pictures of Andrew and Andrew acts unimpressed but secretly. we know. #he’s surprised and almost flattered #after a couple he raises an eyebrow like ‘are you satisfied’ #and Neil said ‘for now’ #so Andrew changes course and goes over to where Neil’s still sitting at the edge of the pool to take the phone #’good. your turn’ #oh god I’m gonna write a whole story in these tags #i cannot #that’s too much even for me #if you want more you know what to do #fan art #my art #aftg #all for the game #neil josten #andrew minyard #andreil #chibi #I learned how to draw chibis!

It's interesting, because at my last job my boss was good---very good---about creating and fostering relationships. At the time I was horrified, because why are you texting our general counsel? Why are you calling someone up and asking them to opine on something that's just showed up on your radar?? This is business, we need to do business-y things in a business way!!!

It took me a long time to recognize what this approach bought him. He was terrible at data entry, yes. I don't think he once ever approved my vacation time, just said "sure, put your out of office message on." (He hated approving vacation time, so he just....didn't.) But he was looped in, hooked in, always consulted. Everyone picked up his calls, because if he was calling it wasn't going to be a haranguing, he wanted to work with you to achieve both your goals, and honestly? you could call him out of the blue too. It worked both ways. He was crystal clear when things were handed down from the top (usually because we'd get a beer and he'd complain about it) and when requests were coming from him/our team. And he was always, always very clear that we were his people, and it was Us against The Company; he was consistently, unequivocally and completely on our side.

(........this did not stop The Company from pulling its shenanigans, but it always felt like he was siding with Us when it did.)

I know this, because now I'm in an organization where my boss isn't on our side, where things aren't explained---even when explanations would make the boss' requests more reasonable. I'm aware of other situations too, where members of the team have been what seems like deliberately insulted or attacked by our boss, which is frankly unnecessary.

I don't have a conclusion to draw from all of this, and god knows that bad bosses are ten a penny, each terrible in their own way. Still, I do think about it more and more, particularly as I stare down 1 year with the company.

#the number of conversations I have had with my counterpart that involve me saying #''if boss would just explain WHY she wants this I would feel much more comfortable pursuing it'' are. uncountable. #once my mother said that my setup at previous job sounded ideal; and I even agreed with her because #well my first job out of law school was. monstrous. of course job 2 was better. #but actually? I didn't even really know how blessed I was. #old boss had many shortcomings but his ability to foster connection was enviable. #no wonder the company has to secretly manipulate you

Poppy for N2 au, it took me so long to make her design cuz I didn't really know what I wanted to do only because I feel like her design is pretty perfect.

But then I just thought about fun outfits to give her or outfits that I would find comfortable if I was wearing them and it all came together.

Poppy here is pretty much the same as here movie counterpart, as nothing really changes on her end of things other than having more insight on Branch through his brothers, and through Lief. Shes also a bit more understanding a bit earlier on because of it but it doesnt do much to change her own character arc I would say.

Bonus

Part of Poppys design was based off a design I had made for previous rulers of Troll Village/Tree

Namely Queen Protea who I designed as Poppys grandmother

Named after the Protea flower which part of her design is based off :D

In the context of this Au Protea was the one who conceptualized the tunnels while her son, King Peppy, was the one to follow through after her death

#my art #dreamworks trolls #trolls #trolls 3 #trolls au #trolls band together #trolls branch #trolls poppy #trolls oc #trolls oc lief #trolls oc protea #its really hard to mess with poppy at least in the context of this au cuz like i said nothing really changes on her end #whats changed in this au was just stuff on Branchs side of things #Poppy can witness these things but she herself isnt really changed by them #she of course would have more insight on Branchs life through his brothers and the addition of Lief as a character #but idk if that would fully change her approach with him other than what ive displayed #where shed try to relate to branch rather than trying to force him to relate to her #which would then most likely make her more understanding going forward than she was in canon #im still figuring her out #also since im in the tags and nobody really reads this #i feel brave enough to say #that secretly #ive been kind of sort of #posting a fanfic of this au under the name not the only one #on ao3 #and thats where Protea comes from #its not well written in the slightest #but its just for fun and practice so in my mind it doesnt really have to be entirely #but i am having fun with it #so if you see this and check it out please be so very nice to me please

I'm sorry but is no one gonna point out that when Crowley shows Aziraphale the Statue of Gabriel on the Graveyard in Episode 3, Crowley says something along the lines of "i bet he(Gabriel) likes to stare at it for hours" and then in Episode 6 in the flashbacks of the ineffable bureaucracy scenes Gabriel shows Beelzebub the Statue and says that he does stare at it for hours.

It's just a fun detail I noticed after I coped with the last 15 minutes of Episode 6

#he really is pretty self absorbed #i bet after that beelzebub stared at it for hours too #secretly of course #this is my coping mechanism #ineffable bureaucracy #at least they got their happy ending #archangel fucking gabriel #good omens beelzebub #ineffable husbands #good omens #aziraphale #good omens season 2 #crowley

Funny how Geralt always stayed on the sidelines with Jaskier's conquests for fear of a broken heart and yet he got a front row seat to watch the bard fall in love with the prince.

Geralt would cut the bard off when he started talking about the virtues of whatever man or woman he spent the night with, but he had no choice but to listen to Jaskier when he told him how the prince learned his song, because the poet appealed to their "best friends" bond.

Geralt smiled inwardly when the bard left his conquest for the night alone to go order him a bath and wash his hair with special soaps and oils after the hunts. And then the witcher had to witness Jaskier leaving him to go order Radovid a bath because "his long blond hair has never been anything less than perfect and cannot be left uncared for, Geralt." 

Geralt always distracted the bard with a story of past hauntings with terrifying creatures every time Jaskier began to compose a love song for his conquest, but nothing could distract the poet when he began to talk about how beautiful and bright Radovid's eyes were and how he wanted to find the perfect words to describe them. 

Geralt faked annoyance every time Jaskier asked to sleep next to him at night insinuating that he was too cold for a little bard. Geralt feigned relief when Jaskier told him that he would no longer bother him with that because he now slept with Radovid and his arms and fur blanket were more than warm. 

Geralt kept as much emotional distance as possible from the bard who approached him in a tavern in Posada so he wouldn't have to deal with a broken heart from falling in love with a human. 

But absolutely no distance in the world prepares him when that night while they were camping alone, Jaskier lying next to him and looking up at the stars, turns to him and says softly "I'm not in love with you anymore, Geralt. You don't have to act cautious around me anymore."

And Geralt can't say anything. Because he simply can't. He must have misheard, maybe the kikimore from earlier hit him too hard or something because there's no way, no world where Jaskier was in love with him. There's no way he would have wasted his chance. 

Jaskier, oblivious to the witcher's stupor, continues "I know I made you uncomfortable with my affections for you, I tried hard not to throw myself at you if I'm honest, but Radovid... I've fallen so much in love with Radovid that I'm ready to let you go. I'm sorry it took me so long to give you and Yenna peace."

Geralt looks up at the stars in silence, not believing what he just heard. Jaskier is about to turn away when Geralt takes his hand. He says nothing, just a simple squeeze. Jaskier breathes a sigh of relief, the witcher doesn't hate him for that, he doesn't ask him to leave as he had feared. Geralt is also relieved that he is no longer burdened with the bard's feelings. 

Geralt allows himself to hold his hand one last time. He allows himself a small luxury, so that he can silently mourn the loss of his bard and curse his own stupidity. Tomorrow he will watch as the bard is reunited with the prince, tomorrow he will watch with a broken heart as they embrace and the prince spins Jaskier in his arms, before kissing him and swearing eternal love. Tomorrow Geralt's heart breaks completely. 

But just for today, just for that night, he allows himself to take Jaskier's hand, draw him into his arms and breathe freely the scent of the man he has been in love with for over two decades. Just for that one night, Geralt allows himself to be happy.

----

I really love to make me cry ^^

#Jaskier is confused for a while #But before they meet Radovid they meet Yennefer. #Yenn and Geralt kiss and Jaskier knows he made the right decision #Radovid and Jaskier decide to go away alone for a while #Yenn and Geralt try it for real this time #But Yenn finds out everything as usual #And when she motivates Geralt to fight for the bard #Jaskier announces that he has secretly married the prince #Ciri is done with her parents' drama #Jaskier is also her father of course #geraskier #radskier #jaskier #geralt of rivia #the witcher #the witcher netflix #ao3 fanfic #fanfiction #geralt x jaskier

The real "mom friend" in Death Note is actually Light Yagami, unfortunately for the world

#I was thinking about Misa being relegated to the mom friend and I was like #Remember when light called the entire earth his fledgling utopia #light the clucking mother hen #He's the emotionally distant mother who still secretly checks your bank account online and deposits 50 bucks when you're in overdraft #sighing with disappointment then emailing you job bank listings #like of course I have to do everything around here #light yagami #p

A secret bonus to this previous post

#post's doodle bin #mir falspar #dark meta knight #kirby right back at ya #galaxy soldier army #secretly promised myself I'd sketch up the context for why Mir Falspar had blood smudges on his glove if anyone happened to notice it #congrats! you were sucessful and I'm cackling #and of course #tw blood #tw injury #I try not to be super gratuitous with blood but still make it clear that yeah. that was not a fun time for dmk #excessive bleeding is a little odd for reflection standards as well #shatterings are most often bloodless and injuries that are deep enough to bleed heavily are usually enough to induce shattering anyway

can’t stop thinking about maverick’s reaction to cowboy carter and the different ways icemav would experience the album together. i just know mav is a country boy in his soul and would be obsessed. here are some highlights:

mav putting on his boots and dancing around the house to texas hold ‘em, riverdance, and ya ya as he does chores. ice coming home from work to find him slinking around and humming under his breath. the two of them dancing in the kitchen to bodyguard, mav grinding their hips together and laughing brightly when ice spins him around and around.

the two of them driving with the windows down to ii hands ii heaven, ii most wanted, and levii’s jeans. ice entwining their hands as the sun goes down over the water and mav sings along from the passenger seat.

ice sitting against the headboard and groaning as mav rides him slow to desert eagle and tyrant. mav’s eyes rolling back into his head as ice grips his hips and tells him how pretty he looks on his cock. the two of them breathing hotly into each other’s mouths as they fall together over the edge.

anyway… they’re so in love i could fucking die. off to listen to the album again!!!

#ice learns all the songs in time of course #he’s secretly as big of a fan as mav but would never admit it #icemav #tom iceman kazansky #pete maverick mitchell #headcanon
