what’s stopping rafe from letting reader carve her initials on his v line ??? lowk might need a fic like this tbh

oh my god I love this so so much here is a blurb for you beautiful <3 i 100% see pogue!reader giving rafe a stick and poke tattoo of that heehee (especially maybank!reader cause r definitely learnt how to do these from JJ :p) let me know your thoughts on it ml! 💚

you give rafe a stick and poke tattoo of your initials on his v line <3 a rafe x pogue!maybank!gn!reader blurb <3 cw: established relationship, minimal usage of nicknames and swear words, usage of needles and giving a stick and poke tattoo, a very small mention of bleeding, I did research on how these are done cause I had no idea lol so if anything is wrong please forgive me 🤠🙏🏼

“really? you’d let me do that?”

“yeah sure, why not?”

you couldn’t believe your ears. it was just another night for you at tannyhill, you and rafe under his covers snuggled close to each other as you rested your head on his chest, your fingernails softly dragging across his torso. your fingers had just reached his prominent v line that was showing because his shorts were hanging low, and as you gently scratched it, your mind couldn’t help but think how enticing your initials carved against his skin would look. so, you asked him, and mentally prepared to get your idea straightaway rejected, but he complied, too quickly, and that definitely excited you.

you practically jumped off your bed to get your bag that you always brought with you each time you came to tannyhill and got your supplies out.

“you carry that with you all the time?” he asked amusedly as he saw you sit back down on the bed with your supplies.

“of course,” you said with a deadpan look. what kind of question is that?

rafe only chuckled and shook his head, watching you intently as you prepared everything for it – which wasn’t a lot, a disinfectant and a cotton pad, the bottle of ink, the needle, and a small container of vaseline – but you were definitely more hygienic when it came to stick and poke tattoos than your brother, who just straightaway dove into it.

you gently cleaned the area on his v line where you wanted to tattoo your initials with the disinfectant, and then got to etching the tattoo. you were slow, and careful. you kept on taking regular looks at rafe to see if he was in any sort of pain, but he was taking it like a champ, barely letting out any noises at the stinging of the needle. you kept your steady speed up, and carefully etched your initials, separated by a period mark.

“and done,” you smiled as you lifted your head from your bending position over his leg, and gently cleaned around the area and wiped the small drops of blood with the help of vaseline.

“whoa,” rafe muttered as he saw your initials on his v line, the ink black against his fair skin.

“you like it?” you asked with a smirk as you cleared your supplies and kept them back in.

“oh i love it,” he said softly, his gaze fixed at the initials. “that’s hot, like really motherfuckin’ hot,”

you softly laughed, shaking your head as you leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to his skin right next to the tattoo.

“now you’re all marked up.”

I WANNA MARK RAFE LIKE THAT HELLOW???

Divine - Kelley O'Hara x Reader

Summary: Request was along the lines of Kelley x Reader where R is like divinely attractive. like the sun always hits her perfectly and everybody is in love with her. maybe she catches her teammates watching edits of her?

A/N: it was a request and then it was on the poll from ages ago and then i told @wosobullshit that i would write it so yeah. ta-da!

No one on the team is really sure how you do it.

It seemed like no matter what was going on around you, you managed to look perfect at all times, at least in your girlfriend’s opinion.

Doesn’t matter if you just finished running the beep test, or played a full 90 in a torrential downpour, or had just rolled out of bed for one reason or another. You always looked like you just stepped out of the pages of a sports magazine, even when you were forced to wear the hideous Portland jerseys.

The thing is, your girlfriend, Kelley, can’t even explain it but she’s more than willing to stand and stare and enjoy the view.

Currently, she and the rest of the team are watching as you help some of the trainers set up the cones for a drill and for some reason it seems as though no matter how you turned, you seemed to catch the light perfectly.

“Christ,” Sonny says, whistling lowly, “the fans might be right about Y/N.”

Kelley’s quick to reach out and swat at her young friend, “Hands off Sonnett.”

“I’m just looking.”

“No looking either!”

Unfortunately for Kelley (and the rest of the team) her voice travels just enough to be heard by the coaching staff, who are quick to rush them onto the field to get practice started.

Throughout practice, you do feel more eyes on you then normal but you brush it off as the training staff wanting to keep an extra close eye on you since you were still bouncing back from an injury. Of course, you noticed Kelley staring but that isn’t really anything new as you catch her staring at all hours of the day.

There’s also the cameras that feel like they're constantly on you. Which is weird to you but you push through and get on with the drills.

That afternoon when everyone has been loaded back onto the bus and you’re on your way back to the hotel, you notice the eyes on you again and you’re also pretty sure you hear someone whispering about the vein popping out on your forehead but you’re too busy arguing with Crystal to care.

“No, Y/N/N, there’s no way that you’re trying to tell me that ‘Hit Em Up’ is a better diss track than ‘No Vaseline,’” Crystal says, “‘No Vaseline’ is the diss track.”

A very important topic of conversation.

You shake your head fiercely before speaking, “Pac started the song by saying and I quote ‘that’s why i fucked your bitch you fat motherfucker’ then ended it by making fun of Prodigy for having Sickle Cell. Cube didn’t say anything that brutal.”

“Cube also didn’t need 3 of his friends to back him up in his beef,” Crys shoots back.

“He was beefing with the dudes that helped make him famous! HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS LEFT TO BACK HIM UP!”

The two of you have been having this argument on and off for weeks. Always over the same two songs and there is no doubt in your mind that your teammates are sick of hearing it. Especially the ones that have to put with you in POrtland and with the national team.

“Helped make him famous?!”

“Yes!”

“Seriously?!”

“Yes!”

The two of you are both leaning across the aisle, glaring at each other at this point, faces so close together that anyone else would’ve found it uncomfortable but the two of you had grown up together and as such were unfazed by it.

Out of the corner of your eye, before you or Crystal could continue, you noticed Kelley and Sonnett sitting in the back row glancing at a phone, then back at you, then back to the phone before giggling.

“I’ll get back to you in a second, Dunny, this isn’t over,” you say before getting up and heading towards your girlfriend.

It's not that hard for her to spot you coming, being in a confined space and all. The whole tall and tattooed thing you have going isn’t really beneficial to sneaking up on people either. BUt your height is currently working in your favor because it means you can easily see the way both Kelley and Emily scramble to hide the phone (and its screen) from your view.

“Hi, baby,” Kelley says when you reach them and drop into the seat across from them.

“Yeah, ‘hi baby’” Sonny mimics, earning an elbow to the gut from her fellow Georgian.

“That’s not suspicious at all,” you mumble under your breath. “Anyway, I was wondering if the two of you troublemakers made any plans for tomorrow or if I’ll actually be able to hang out with my girlfriend at some point this camp.”

“You can have her, Y/N/N, I’ve been trying to get rid of her days,” Emily jokes.

Laughing at the offended look on Kelley’s face, you press a kiss to the side of her head before heading back to argue with Crystal.

The next day, you and Kelley are basically attached at the hip, or more accurately, the hand with the way she’s been dragging you from place to place the entire time.

And now after much convincing (read: whining) from you, you’ve finally got her to agree that a nap is a good use of your afternoon.

There’s only one issue…

“Babe, the key to a successful nap is having your eyes closed.”

“My eyes are closed.”

“They aren’t,” you say.

“How do you know my eyes aren’t closed? You’d have to have your eyes open to tell.”

“I can tell,” you say, still not opening your eyes, “because I can always tell when you’re looking at me. Even in the world’s most crowded room, the feeling of your eyes on me is unlike any other. So close them so I can sleep.”

A soft kiss is placed on the underside of your chin and there’s a bit of shuffling as Kelley tries to get comfortable. You let her squirm for about 30 seconds before you tug her firmly against you.

“Yea that’s enough of that,” you say. “And for love of God, stop staring at me.”

“You say the sweetest things to me when you’re tired.”

“Mhmm, love you too. It’s time to go night-night now.”

“That’s the tone you use with Charlie,” Kelley’s voice is indignant.

“Shhh, it’s time to go night-night.”

There’s some grumbling from the older woman but you ignore her in favor of going to sleep.

When you wake up from your nap, Kelley is nowhere to be found which isn’t very surprising. Luckily you know exactly where to find her or so you thought.

The walk to Sonny and lIndsey’s room is a quick one but you get turned away at the door by LIndsey who tells you that neither Frat Daddy is inside. She tells you that they said something about the social media team but you instantly decide you want nothing to do with that.

So instead you head off to find your best friend.

Marcel.

But to find him you need to find his mother, an easy task especially when all you have to do is follow the music. Which leads you down the hallway to the room where the PTs are set up.

Walking in, you’re not surprised to see Crystal on one of the tables getting a massage, while Lynn plays with Marcel on the ground. Out of the corner of your eye, you notice Uncle sitting on the other table getting her hands looked at, but you don’t pay any attention to that. Instead you walk in and pick your little homie up.

“Hey,” Lynn calls out.

“Sorry Lynnie,” you say, “Marcel and I have some very important business to discuss.”

“He’s one!”

“Gracie’s corner is incredibly serious stuff, Williams. Crys, I’ll come find you when he needs a diaper change.”

You hear small chuckles from Lyss and the trainers but you’re mostly focused on the way Crystal grumbles her breath while shoo-ing you out of the room.

As you leave you can just mak e out the voice of one of the trainers saying, "It's like she doesn't even know she's doing it."

Whatever that means.

You spend the next 30 or so minutes wandering around the hotel, alternating between letting the toddler run ahead of you and carrying him while he mushes his fingers against your face, babbling on about whatever 1 year olds like. You make sure to respond when he pauses, wow-ing or asking him simple questions to encourage him to continue.

Eventually, the two of you make your way down to the conference room that’s been converted to a common area for the team.

The amount of heads that immediately turn to face you makes you slightly nervous and the nerves only worsen when you see Kelley and Sonnett once again shoving their phones behind their backs.

Rolling your eyes, you go and ploop yourself and Marcel down next to Charlie, finding the company of the two toddlers more entertaining than that of your teammates.

Unnoticed by you though, both of the kids' mothers as well as a member of the social media team taking photos of the three of you. There’s also a few unheard comments directed at Kelley that may or may not have something to do with baby fever.

Life at camp continues in the same manner for the next few days with you going about your business while your girlfriend, her goofball friend, and the social media team continue to act strangely.

It all comes to a head one day after training.

The media manages to corner you before you get on the bus and they ask you to react to a few tiktoks that fans have made about you.

It takes you all of 3 seconds before you realize what you’re watching.

“Are all of these thirst edits of me,” you gasp, not removing your gaze from the screen. “This one is captioned: I’d let Y/N Y/L/N tie me. NEVERMIND!”

You manage to get through the next 5 minutes.

You stutter and blush and sweat your way through all 5 but you manage to make it through.

Not all the videos are as sexual as the first one, some feature clips of you with Marcel and Charlie but it still makes you very very uncomfy.

When you get on the bus, you’re greeted by the sight of most of the team grinning at you like maniacs, clearly already knowing what just happened.

“Who’s idea was that,” you ask, still standing up front.

No one speaks, so you groan before beginning to trudge your way to your normal seat across from Crystal.

On your way you notice the way both Kelley and Sonny can’t seem to hold back their giggles, so you pass your normal seat and go and sit with them instead.

“The two of you aren’t nearly as funny as you seem to think you are,” you say, dropping into Kelley’s lap.

“But we really are,” Sonnet laughs while poking you in the back.

“Yea it’s not our fault that the entire internet thinks you’re divine. I’m not going to be the one who argues with them.” Kelley leans up to press a kiss to your cheek but pouts when you lean away then stand up. “I love you,” she tries.

“Love you too.”

Here are some random headcanons/ideas about johnny/johnshi that have been brewing in my autistic brain for a few days :3

Headcanons

• Johnny has been a hug fan of Van Damme ever since childhood. He tought of Van Damme as his idol.

• Johnny still is in contact with his mom and she’s the only person in the cage family that knows of Johnny’s and Kenshi’s relationship.

•Johnny Kitana Millena Syzoth and Ashrah have movie night every week

• He likes it when Kenshi runs his fingers across his chest tattoo

•He’s also extremely ticklish

•Johnny is autistic (TRY AND CHANGE MY MIND I DARE YOU) his hiperfixations are movies(duh) and history

•Johnny is actually really smart and people tend to be surprised when they come over and see that he has a college diploma

• For special events he’ll wear a black pencil eyeliner

•He knows how to take care of himself like bro probably has 24 step skincare routine, uses hand moisturiser ALL THE TIME, wears lipglosses/vaseline, clean healthy nails, a bunch of different types of shampoos ( clean girl aesthetic)

•If Kenshi had a dificult or stressful day Johnny will let him lay on his chest (titties)

•Johnny is the best when it come to gift giving. While to others it may look like Johnny doesn’t listen to anyone but himself he actually remembers a lot of details about his friends and while it may look like he’s not listening he’s actually doing the exact opposite.

•Smoke sees Johnny as an older brother and sometimes asks him for advice or just to hang out

•Johnny and Kitana and besties they go clothe shopping often and talk about drama from both hollywood and outworld

• He teaches the characters from outworld how to use technology like phones, TV’s ect.

Ideas

(Feel free to take these if you want because i can’t write fanfiction to save my life lol)

• Switched AU- very simple Johnny and Kenshi switch places so instead of Kenshi loosing his eyesight it’s Johnny who looses it

•Double date- Kenshi and Johnny go on a double date with Tanya and Millena or Syzoth and Ashrah (or any ship of your choice)

•Cuddle fic- i don’t get how theres so little fics of them just cuddling and being domestic gays (LET MY BOYS BE HAPPY AND CUDDLE)

• Ghost fic- ok i know i just said there needs to be more fluff BUT I’m also a sucker for hurt comfort so essential johnny dies or has to be killed and his soul goes into Sento and that way he can communicate with Kenshi (i have a full post with more details)

•Childhood-Johnny tells Kenshi about his childhood after he noticed the little things about johnny that dont make sense or are concerning ( can you tell im a sucker for hurt/comfort)

Sorry for the bad grammar english isn’t my first language but i hope you enjoyed reading my rambles :3

maybe

maybe a little kiss smoochy on ghosts tattoos 👉👈 maybe making him a little flustered

a little

nervous

maybe helping him take care of a back tattooo ehhehehee 🥰🥰

aroooorororororooo ♡♡♡♡

what about tattooist!reader..? anyway;

making him flustered by running your fingers up and down his arm, your nails tracing around the lines edges, resting your cheek on his shoulder. his mask covering his tinted face, pink with embarrassment, becoming flustered, his voice slightly shakey when you asked him questions about his tattoos; why did you get the tattoos? i love them, they're so attractive. can i take care of your new tattoo?

he couldn't deny you, your words coated in sugar, laced with honey and hard to say no to. your touch becoming addicting and intoxicating, melting into your touch as you rubbed vaseline around his back, his skin soft yet scarred, your fingers kneading out his aches as he whimpered quietly, attempting to hide the pleasure that began forming quickly...

pairing: tattoo artist!dabi x trans male!reader genre: comfort word count: 570

tw: mentions of a self harm relapse, dysphoria

a/n: had a bad week so enjoy big brother figure dabi

the cold air stings your face as you bury your hands deeper into your pockets. the night air has never been forgiving as you rush through desolate streets.

the lights of dabi's studio are still on but the sign has been turned off. you can see him moving around behind the tainted windows.

"hey kid," dabi calls as you push the door open. you grab the keys from where they sit on the receptionist counter, locking the door behind you.

further into the shop, dabi is cleaning the chair from a previous client. you sigh, leaning back against the brick wall that separates the chair from the rest of the shop. dabi doesn't even glance at you, continuing to wipe down his setup. "you alright?"

you sigh. "i… i don't know." dabi sets the cleaning solution aside and walks over to you. he lifts your chin so you're looking up at him, contemplating for a second before pulling out some ink and vaseline.

"something happen?" you shake your head.

"no, just a bad day, i guess. i've been dysphoric lately." dabi hums, gesturing for you to sit in the chair. you do, rolling up your sleeve for him. dabi tattooing you is a common occurrence, especially to starve off a relapse, but he's always let you pick out a design first. "which one are you doing?"

"koi fish." he murmurs as he shaves your arm. you watch in silence as he presses the stencil against your skin, waiting for you to check it over before he begins tattooing.

"why a koi fish?"

dabi stays silent for a minute before he replies. "koi fish symbolize prosperity, luck, and perseverance. you seen like you could use some."

he finishes the tattoo quickly, wiping off the excess ink and blood. "you feeling better?"

"i still feel… bad. i guess. about myself."

"why don't you try one on me? keep your mind off of things."

"you want me to tattoo you?" dabi has never particularly cared about the ink covering his skin, but you didn't think it would extend to letting a completely inexperienced teenage boy put a permanent fish on him.

dabi simply shrugs. "why not?"

"okay."

you clean the chair down again before dabi sits down in it. "press the stencil down and then peel it up," he instructs. you nod, angling the design so it flows with his body. "the machine is already set and everything. don't worry too much, okay?"

"alright," you say, angling your hands so the needle hovers over his forearm.

tattooing is more difficult than you had expected. you've grown accustomed to the noise after years of watching dabi, but feeling the machine vibrating in your hand is a foreign experience. you move much slower than dabi, careful not to go too deep or too light. your neck hurts from how close you've been hunched over by the time you pull away the final time. dabi turns his arm, examining your work as you prepare the saniderm.

"not bad, kid," he reaches over to pat your head.

you bite back a smile as you help him clean up again. "thanks."

"why don't you stay here tonight? i've got a spare mattress over there."

"are you sure?" dabi simply hums. "thank you. really."

"anything for you. i'm glad you came to me."

"i am too." you murmur, following him up the stairs into the loft where he sleeps.

Note

Can you please do relationship hc for Shizuku, Feitan, Phinks, and Uvo. Just some sfw please. THANK YOU 🙏🏽

YESSSSS OFCCCCCC!

Thank you so much for requesting!

Full credit to la-squadra1234

Feitan-

Definitely acts like he does not care

Is very protective over you

Cuddles aren’t really his thing (at least that’s what he says)

Definitely wants you to be around him 24/7 but will never admit it

He will never tell you that he is in the phantom troupe (have fun finding out yourself)

He wants you to get a tattoo with his name on it (but he would never even ask you to)

Phinks-

Definitely the kind to act like a jerk

If you ever hit him because he is acting like a jerk he will act like it doesn’t hurt at all (secretly crying inside💀)

He likes cuddling, but he will never ask for any cuddles or anything like that

He likes hugs (lots of them)

He wants to do karaoke with you (he will never ever ever admit that though)

If you ignore him, he will do the light skin face to get your attention

Uvogin-

You better give this man he’s a good night kiss (it doesn’t matter if you’re on the whole other side of the Earth, you better give this man he’s good night kiss otherwise he will hunt you down and chase you around until you give his good night kiss)

He loves cuddling you guys are always cuddling!

There were definitely be a lot of dance battles (he would always say that he is going to win, but then he always end up losing)

He definitely rolls his eyes a lot

If you are ever about to get into a fistfight, you know damn well this man will pass you the Vaseline and the hair dye💀

Shizuku-

She is super calm and chill

You might have to remind her who you are a couple times before she can fully remember😭

She loves, cuddling and hugs

She absolutely loves going shopping with you!

She struggles to find you a gift because she frequently forgets your shoe size and your clothing size and sometimes she even forgets everything that you like😅

She will definitely record TikTok’s with you whenever you want to

She would definitely go viral on social media for being sweet, caring, and a good dancer

That’s it for today’s head cannons (or whatever you call them)

I hope everybody enjoyed today’s scenario!

Again, thank you to the person who requested it means a lot when I see somebody that appreciates my work!!!

See everybody in the next Post bye now

looking up like mole removal recovery and the dermatologist told me literally NOTHING about how to care for it besides just like oh clean it and stick some petroleum jelly and a band aid on the next day. i finally called them to ask abt something else and asked abt this too and they said yeah keep it bandaged for 2 weeks and keep using petroleum jelly and “letting a wound air out” isn’t really a real thing so ok fine all that would have been great to know DAY OF not A WEEK LATER

NOW i’m reading elsewhere that i shouldn’t have used alcohol on it (i thought you needed to clean wounds?!) which i did for about 5 full days and you’re supposed to change the bandage 1-2x/day (i def haven’t, it’s a really hard area to get to myself and i’ve gotten lazy)

but it’s been a week now so like, i can obv start doing those things now i guess but have i fucked up already?? how do i know what it’s supposed to look like bc it looks nasty to me but they said on the phone it would? they said like worry abt discharge and the band aid does have some something on it but also i’m slathering on vaseline before i put the band aid on so ?????

why do doctors give you zero instructions on aftercare ever. i got a tattoo and had to listen to a lecture several times over on how to care for that and meanwhile i just got a minor surgical procedure and they left me fully on my own

#idk how to tag this lol #injury /#gross / potentially

!!! felineee!! got some asks for you: 6, 18, 23, 39, 42 from the weird asks game <33

hiiii maya !! i saw you posted your stephcass fic the other day and it looks amazing <3 should have some free time coming up here soon i can't wait to read it i have been thinking about the stephanie brown & cassandra cain need a hug tag since i got the email notif

6. why did you do that?

because it sparked joy.

18. what hair products do you use?

ahhh i keep a really simple hair care routine. i oil once every week (personally i prefer grapeseed oil---it's my holy grail for hair, skin and tattoo care). i'll leave it in either a few hours or ovn and then shampoo & condition + diffuse. for shampoo + conditioner i like the kérastase brand. and then daily i spritz my hair with a rose + mint and aloe spray. and i only ever use a bamboo brush.

23. how do you feel about chilly weather?

my ideal temperature is in the low 60s f range. anything higher than 75 runs a bit too hot for me personally. i hate the snow, though. the perfect weather is when there's a lot of cold rain and fog.

39. do you use lip balm?

i use the vaseline rosy lip therapy at night and the rhode beauty peptide lip tint during the day <3

42. an app you frequently use besides this godforsaken site?

i really like this app called alltrails. whenever i'm looking to go hiking or find a good spot to kayak i'll spend hours on the app trying to find a good trail that fits my current wants. i go hiking year round (a few times a week) so it sees a lot of use.

#ty for asking <3 #ask games #waffleinator-inator #replies

35 - Elastica - Elastica (1995)

Never heard of them, but all their top songs are on this one album, so... Let's go.

Line Up-

Interesting, discordant guitar but I'm digging it... Except for the guy that sounds like he's puking in the background.

Pretty blatant "anti-groupie" lyrics but some interesting turns of phrase and i can absolutely see the line up in line line up in line part of the chorus getting stuck in heads.

Annie-

I'm digging this, kinda late-punk vibes, everything feels really good, just goes.

Connection-

This one has an order of magnitude more plays than anything else they have. (27 million vs the next highest being 6 mil)

Cool 90s edm noises and synth drums, then a computer has an orgasm and the band kicks in.

The lyrics are interesting but I'm not getting much out if it.

Starting to think I'll never really understand the kind of music British people enjoy.

Car Song-

Cool guitars but the lyrics land somewhere between "Tawny Kitaen" and "actively fucking a shift knob" level of car lover.

Catchy, though.

Smile-

The Ramones fan in me will always love a punk song started with a screamed "1,2,3,4!". ESPECIALLY if it's not screamed in the actual time of the song.

The lyrics listed are incredibly wrong, which is a shame because it's a song about a cheater getting busted. And it's pretty great.

Hold Me Now-

Sounds like Garbage (affectionate).

Tonal whiplash from the last song, from "you cheated, get lost" to "I'll do anybody/everybody at this party, i don't care"

S.O.F.T.-

I really like the intro.

The lyrics feel a bit too pointed to feel so vague, like I'm wondering if s.o.f.t. stands for like someone one of the band members knew named like Shirley Olive Frimbley-Twumpshire or something.

Indian Song-

(Okay, it's a British band, which "Indian" are we referring to... Ah, sitar. Okay.)

Ah, shit, did George Harrison write this one? Who let him in here?

Blue-

The almost shoegaze-y intro just makes me think they could have totally gone shoegaze and pulled it off.

The rest of it feels pretty similar.

All-Nighter-

"Yeah, sure let's hang out all night!"

Five hours later: "oh, so, we weren't gonna take our clothes... Oh. Okay. Gotcha. Your loss."

Waking Up-

As a dedicated night-person who nevertheless wakes up at 5am every morning, this song can kiss my ass, but also i wish i had that easy of a life.

2:1-

A bit slinkier and more laid back than a lot on this album. Kinda wondering why this one isn't the one that blew up.

The dual singing is pretty neat.

See That Animal-

Gotta get that scale practice in somehow.

Also, i cannot abide by the pronunciation of the word tattoo as "tuh-TOO". It's "TAH-tu".

Stutter-

Girl, why are you whining that he's not going to stay with you? You didn't have to let him in and fuck him, but you did. That's on you.

Never Here-

I do like the idea of fighting gaslighting with gaslighting. "You fucked with my head and now you don't even exist and you never did."

Vaseline-

I get it, but actual lube is always better.

Once again, a British album has one vastly more-played sing on the album and i cannot for the life of me figure out why. It didn't stand out in any way, and many of the other songs on the album are objectively better, catchier songs.

I can only assume UK radio is just as much of a wasteland as Florida's is.

Favorite Track: 2:1. It kinda grew on me as a standout from the raunch of the rest of the album, like a classy burlesque performance in a tacky strip club.

There's a difference between being sexy and just shoving a vagina in my face.

Least Favorite Track: Indian song. White British musicians stop appropriating India challenge (impossible).

tw for a bit of self negative talk ab bottom surgery

also i want a dick so badly i’m going to scream. but i want like a fully finished dick like with implants and with the balls in my labia and the glansplasty and i wish they could do it all at once bc i know the way it’ll look at first will just make me so dysphoric esp since i won’t be able to get hard. it’s just hard bc i want it but sometimes i think i can’t handle it bc of having to do it in stages. i know it makes more sense but it’s so painful and i’m like i want it all now and i feel like it’ll make me want to cry having stage one of the surgery done and feeling so close but so far away bc i don’t have glansplasty or scrotoplasty or implants or tattooing if i want that. which i think i do, i’ll have to see how it looks first. i’m also really scared about my thigh scar. i like my skin being smooth. not just for aesthetics but it’s like a texture thing. i think if i cover it and take care of it rlly well with vaseline maybe it’ll be okay?

𓂅 HEADCANONS .

somebody cue up this is me trying by taylor swift

still smokes weed (claims it’s medicinal) and drinks alcohol in moderation, but has been clean re: narcotics for a month now.

is A Musician with reason: why talk about your feelings when you could just write them into a song and pretend they don’t exist beyond that? is the passive aggressive type, bottles things up and simmers.

big fitness junkie; she goes for a walk or run every day and, at some point in the very near future, would like to run one of those 5k things.

fluent in both english and spanish.

incredibly good at math, her worst subject in school was social studies. it bored her to utter tears.

is the person who pulls over on the side of the road to try to help out animals because she has such a soft spot for them.

all of her tattoos are either self drawn or were written out for her by someone of significance.

being in the kitchen and cooking has become a tactile sort of therapy for her during sobriety. she loves trying new recipes, baking at random (all) hours. is she any good at it? not really, but it's a way for her to feel more connected to her family and replicate the same feelings that food brought her during her childhood. sometimes likes to pretend she’s on an episode of master chef. she’s a dork, your honor.
