#the terms of endearment ofc

[sayosdreams]

Any other multilingual fans of Chloe Gong books have a special appreciation for the way language is treated in her writing?

#ITS SO!! #the terms of endearment ofc #but also like *FHH SPOILER* when Phoebe speaks #and she mentions how Silas doesn’t naturally behind sentences in English but she does bc of the timing of her move to london #or how both Rosalind and Celia internally curse in French #it’s so realistic #obv bc Chloe is multilingual but #ahhh having grown up multilingual and surrounded by other multilingual people #it’s so fun to read

Thinking self-indulgent thoughts regarding the 141 boys and their little quirks with a spanish speaking reader. Some stumbling through their accents, some begging for more, some keeping their own knowledge of the language secret. I might come back to this later...

#im mexican and so have a very specific brand of slang #but also terms of endearment hit harder in spanish #that's just a fucking fact #imma look to see what others have written on this lol #this is entirely self indulgent #i just wanna be loved specifically lol #poly 141 x reader #cod x reader #simon ghost riley #he's the one hiding his own skill #captain john price #he's maybe fumbling it a little #johnny soap mactavish #he's the one begging ofc #kyle gaz garrick #he's by far the smoothest one and the one that stays purring in your ear #spanish speaking reader

li come kiss it better ;<

#rin rambles #ig one good thing about getting into playing a plucked string instrument is that. i think i'm starting to. uh. what's the term. #'get used to' seeing my fingers a lot? and not mind them as much. #i used to think they look so ugly cause they're so stumpy and short. #yk like. the term 'sausage fingers'? fits them so much i feel ☠️ #and i still feel the same sometimes but. i'm warming up to the sight of them. #i think (and hope) if i ever get a bf he'd be endeared if we ever compare hands. bc i bet mine would be *so* tiny against his. #i have yet to find anyone whose fingers are shorter and smaller than mine. not even girls who are smaller-sized than me (and most girls are #(​except for kids ofc lol)

re: that post I reblogged yesterday(?) about how dogs can be/are dangerous, and my tags saying they aren't human babies. I'm thinking about that still cause, honestly imo, soooo many problems with how people treat dogs seems related to the fact that most people see them as a 1:1 equivalent to a small human child. infantalizing them to a cartoonish degree. cause it's like, yes they need so much help navigating human society, and it's our job to care for them either way -- that's literally the evolutionary relationship our two species have. but an adult dog is still gonna be a fully autonomous living thing exactly the same as you are as an adult human. different social rules/'types' of intelligence/evolutionary niches doesn't negate the existence of a dog's internal world, thoughts, wants, and opinions. u might not be able to fully relate to those thought processes or understand them, but your understanding isn't what gives them worth.

(ntm it's entirely possible to better understand dog behavior with simple practice/research, but maybe that's just my personal "inclined to understand dogs better than other humans" neurodivergence talking idk lol)

obv example, but that's all why small dogs (who are easier to physically control, and therefor easier to physically treat like a toy/baby) are so frequently reactive -- their autonomy isn't respected otherwise. meanwhile in a lot of cases (tho nowhere near all unfortunately), large dogs can more easily demand respect before resorting to reactivity. and that's why we have to bribe the dogs at work so constantly lol. if a guy who's stronger than me doesn't want to follow me somewhere or go into a kennel for me or whatever, I simply can't force him even if I try. he will just stand there, and no one can stop him. so instead we need to work together to reach a mutual agreement; it's two-way communication. in the same vein: one of the first things I was trained on at work is how to respect dogs' consent/ask for their consent with things whenever possible. these considerations are super important in treating dogs right... and yet how frequently are they ignored/not-considered by humans cause a dog is seen as unthinking or lesser?

anyway this is just an incomplete thought tangent that doesn't even touch upon the way human children are wrongfully denied autonomy as well, or how worth isn't remotely tied to intelligence anyway. but u know. just something I've been thinking about while dealing with bad dog owners/potential-owners every day & while contemplating "hecking pupper furbaby" culture

#ofc I call phineas ''baby'' but it's just a term of endearment LOL. I respect him as his own guy too #as I'm sure a lot of ''my dog is my furbaby'' people do too #working with dogs for this long has just started to make me a lil weird anyway maybe. esp at my current job where - #- all my coworkers r big on animal rights/advocacy type theory and explain how their pets r like roommates to them instead of toys/babies #or rejecting the ''pet'' label altogether which is interesting even if I don't really get it personally #etc. and if I were like 2% more functional/less neurodivergent I'd be going vegan rn LOL I'm being converted #literally can't even eat meat anymore without being a lil uncomfortable which 😭 is great in a mindfulness/awareness sorta way but - #- sucks when I kinda have to eat meat at least sometimes </3 not enough alternative options where I live for my lifestyle #whoops this was another tangent in the tags I just noticed. rambly post. it's been a long day and my head's disorganized <3

[chappellrroan]

me when u call me babe/baby or start typing in hindi smirk

WAIT. YOU CAN UNDERSTAND HINDI??

#ofc those are my common terms of endearment #zo <3

Your Devi vs. David season 3 is your best yet, I bet 200 bucks that we will get a flashback scene with the origins of David and Ben and Devi's first meeting, it only makes sense

thank you!! <3 and yes i'm hoping we get a flashback to the origins of david! my bet is that when they were kids, ben accidentally called her "david" because he misheard and she was like "that's not my name!" and he just kept calling her it because he liked getting on her nerves

#and then ofc it turns into a term of endearment / pet name #david my beloved #nhie #benvi #asks #grace <3

[rejectshumanity]

dio always uses full names when addressing someone and almost never calls anyone by their nickname (jonathan being the one exception). however, he's big on pet names – especially if he can find one that gets on your nerves 🙃

#// he uses them as terms of endearment too. and to manipulate people ofc #// but like everything else he does he's gonna prioritize pissing you off 🙄 #// ch study. #// headcanons.

fire force things im thinking abt tn <3

#writing here for documentation ofc. anyway. #of most of these are abt arthur btw. lol<3 anyway #noticed that shinra had the bottom bunk in the first episode. then when arthur came along and they had to share a room #shinra switched to the top bunk. so basically im imagining arthur making a big fuss and argument abt how he wants the bottom bunk and shinra #has to take the top bunk. very fun this is canon to me #also ...... started looking at tv tropes for ff and. they pointed out arthur's lack of interest in women. so like. yeah💛 gayass mfr #also. i think abt their trope a lot where arthur VERY SPECIFICALLY TELLS SHINRA. that. while saving shinras life in season one finale. #arthur LITERALLY tells him. 'im the only one thats allowed to kill you' AND LIKE. #obviously that sent a signal off in my brain when i first watched it. but then tv tropes dot com had to go ahead and say this: #''​The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: He openly says this about Shinra but it's almost meant as a term of endearment.'' #AND LIKE. LITERALLY. THATS LITERALLY HOW THE SCENE WENY #*went #anyway. also reallyreally love how arthur is very specifically 'the dumb one' in terms of booksmarts & comprehension #yet is consistently shown throughout the series that hes so intelligent in other ways. #examples are like. how he memorized pi to one million places due to his special interest/delusion of knighthood & king arthur's round table #and how he is very good at observations and ALWAYS quick to notice deceptions. #plus hes a very great at fighting. very strategic in my opinion. #ough anyway. i love this guy. really good character #🌟

my feelings for Neuvillette have crossed the lines of lust and have entered the love territory.

#ofc i still want him to fuck me until my legs stop working #but i also want to wake up next to him every morning #kiss him goodbye when he leaves for work #teach him how to love #maybe go through a list of terms of endearment and see which ones we like the most #i’d secretly hope his favorite is ‘sweet boy’ #cause it sure is mine—which im sure he’d pick up on when he sees just how much i melt when i hear it from him #i wanna wake up on a Saturday morning and tidy some things up that we’d have left for future us the night before #teach him that it’s okay to be a little less cautious with his words around me #to ‘loosen up a bit—yeah?’ #or try making my favorite dishes that i had growing up for him to try something new #have a cup of tea together on our porch #take a walk on the beach—his hand overlapping mine—and watch the little sea creatures swim around in their own little worlds below #all while i tell him little fun facts about them #(he knows what im gonna say the second ‘noovy did you know..’ flies out of my mouth but he lets me have it anyways) #my heart might just burst #lei’s talking!

here comes pom-pom, toddling his way towards kafka, their ears flopping behind them in their haste. hi!

a small smile appeared on the stellaron hunter's lips upon seeing them walk in her direction, fluffy ears moving behind them and making her feel the urge to touch them again. instead, however, she gently placed her hand on the top of pom-pom's hat. " hey there, cutie. miss me? "

@pompomexpress : unprompted asks .

#pompomexpress #kafka : threads . #be fearless : first timeline . #letters : answered . #THANK U SM FOR THIS #IT IS ADORABLEEE #ofc she had to give them a nickname #well term of endearment

[soracities]

my mom is 5'1 and my dad is 6' and when they got together he started lovingly calling her "small" in her native language instead of her name. but then. she started calling him the same thing ironically, as he is ofc not small. but now 25 years later they still never call each other by their names, only "small" :) and as a child i was always surprised that everyone else's parents called each other by their names and not by an oddly specific term of endearment that began as silly teasing over height difference <3

...........nobody talk to me i need to go scream into a pillow for a thousand years

#ask #Anonymous #this is everything to me everything i have tears in my eyes i cannot breathe #love is a house with many rooms #humanity i love you

darling, doll, and love for Tarkin :3 -ourlittleforever

thnx, dearie, @ourlittleforever !!! <333

darling - is there anything you hold close because it reminds you of your f/o? what about them?

answered here, but another thing i keep close is a picture of him with the poem 'do not stand at my grave and weep' written on the back that i keep in my nightstand and another thing he keeps close is my necklace whenever i'm not wearing it :)

doll - do either of you collect anything?

i collect some toys, dolls, and stuffies :3 not nearly as much i used to (dolls were my spin for several years) but i still like adding new ones to my collections.

wil.huff likes collecting rare seeds B)

love - what terms of endearment/nicknames do you like to call your f/o? what about vice versa? do you have any that hold a special meaning?

terms of endearment i like to call him: love, my love, beloved, my beloved, darling, my darling, my (old) man, my guy, sweetie pie, sugar, baby/babe, doll, prince/ss, crazygirl, babygirl/boy, my boy, etc. etc. i use terms of endearment nearly every other sentence when i talk to him, which is what inspired this ask game in the first place :)

huffie uses them more sparingly than i do, but it's kind of a habit he's picked up from me, lol. here are some of his faves: my boy/girl, love, my love, beloved, darling, little one, my baby, prince/ss, pet, kitty/kitten, sweetheart, dear/deer, fawn. anything with 'my' and/or 'little' tacked to the beginning......

for nicknames, i ofc like to call him huffie, which is a riff on his name and also the word 'huffy.' or huff-huff :3 tarky/tarky-warky to be silly.

technically, him calling me ellie is a nickname bc my s/i's name is delruk. i think he kinda sticks to those two tbh.

as far as special meanings go, he calls me things like 'kitten' and 'deer' bc i'm a pet regressor to those two animals.... all the 'little' names are partially because i am literally physically smaller than him and partially bc i'm an age regressor. 'princess' is another one that's really special to me ❤ and for reasons that i don't think i'll unpack here bc it's A Lot.

#i mean. anyway. i also call him papa or daddy when i'm regressed but i don't wanna put those up there tbh. #like they are terms of endearment to me and to him ofc but idk..... #i don't want anyone to make it weird. i'm underage. #you know how it is. #asks #ourlittleforever #millie #ellie rambles about stuff #he spun the stars on his fingernails (tag) #agere #petre #< for the mentions.

YO ZAC WELCOME BACKKKKK,

But yk I got a request 🤞🏽

Earth-42!Miles with fem!spider-reader

Like reader was from 1610!miles universe but when he went to earth-42 she went with him and maybe like there was a prowler!reader in 42!miles universe but she died and hes like “look at the power you had here…with me”

(The rest up to you…yk how I like it zacy 😏)

YEAH OFC <3

𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧

𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠: earth-42!miles x fem!spider!reader

𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞: angst(?)

𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: in his universe, you’re dead. it’s not fair that some inferior version of him gets to have you alive and well while he’s stuck grieving you. he makes it his number one priority to show you what you could have with him. what you had.

𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞: inhales exhales i don’t like this and idk if i did him justice but HOPEFULLY I DID. it’s a little messy idk if i did this right HELO i hope you like it anyway (shout out to rae for helping me with the spanish 🫶)

𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: hermosa - beautiful; tú eras mi vida y mi mundo - you were my life and my world; mi amor - my love

you woke up in a daze.

your surroundings were dark with only a little illumination coming from a small window. you tried to get up, but you were quickly dragged back down to notice you were tied to a pole. the more you pulled against it (to no avail), the more you lost hope.

you took a shaky breath and looked around the room to find miles tied up on a punching bag. he didn’t look conscious. his head is hung low and you could barely see his closed eyes. your heart dropped and made it your mission to get his attention.

“miles? miles!”

then, your spidey-sense goes off.

you hear footsteps drawing closer and closer to you, and you desperately try to break free from the pole.

“i wouldn’t wake him just yet, hermosa.”

your eyes widened as you looked back at miles, who was still knocked out. you were extremely confused at who was talking to you. they sounded just like your miles, but it wasn’t. you were about to speak, but then the mystery person came out of the shadows and kneeled down to see you.

it was..miles? but not your miles for sure. this miles had braids, and judging from the term of endearment he called you earlier, he could for sure roll his r’s. he gently took your face in his hands and scanned you for any sign of injury. when he makes sure you’re fine, he smiles at you.

“you’re just as beautiful as i remember,” he says.

“i’m sorry?” you ask, seeing as you’ve never met him in your life.

he sighed at your words and untied you from the pole. when your hands are free, you rub your wrists in an attempt to ease the soreness that enveloped them. you tried to shoot a web, but you soon notice that your web-shooters are gone.

“c’mon, mami, you don’t think i’m dumb, do you?” he chuckles at your attempt before untying your feet, and you stretched your legs in response. once he’s up, he holds out his hand to you. you hesitantly accept. he helps pull you up from the floor and you dust yourself off.

he looks at you before asking, “i’m assuming your name is (y/n)?”

you nod in response, looking a little concerned before saying, “how’d you know?”

“because that’s what my girl’s name was, and you look and sound just like her.”

“your girl?” you ask curiously. he nods and shows you a polaroid picture of him and a girl. he was right, she looked exactly like you. “why isn’t she here?”

his facial expression went from relaxed to serious. he sighed before speaking, “she’s dead.”

your eyes widen. you know you’re not his (y/n), but hearing that a version of you is dead sends shivers down your spine.

“tú eras mi vida y mi mundo, (y/n). you were taken from me for the same reason you save people now.”

“and what’s that?”

“your compassion,” he says with a slight bitterness to his tone. “you cared so much for people. too much. i shouldn’t have let you out of my sight.”

you listened eagerly. even if she wasn’t you necessarily, you were still curious to hear how a variant of you died.

you put your hand on his shoulder and nodded, and he took it as a sign to continue.

“we were handling business. two guys had crossed us. i was taking care of one, you were with the other. he was begging for his life, and you showed him kindness and spared him. then, he..”

you could hear his breathing getting shaky, and you began to rub his shoulder.

“you don’t have to finish, i— i get the gist of it,” you assure him.

he nods and pulls you into a hug. you hesitantly hug him back, feeling bad for him. once you wrap your arms around him, he whispers to you, “i’m never letting you out of my sight again, mi amor.”

your breath hitches and your eyes widen.

“i’m so, so sorry for your loss, miles. but i’m not her. i don’t belong here,” you try to reason. you hear shuffling on the punching bag and you can see miles—your miles—stirring awake.

“miles! you’re okay!” you gently move the other miles off of you and run to your miles.

“for the most part,” he tries to joke.

“i don’t think you get it,” earth-42 miles begins to speak. you turn away from your miles to look at the other one. “you had so much power with me, (y/n).”

“what’s this dude on about?” earth-1610 miles whisper-asks you, but all you can do is shrug in response to him.

“look, i’m sorry that your girlfriend died, but i’m not her, and i never will be,” you spat, getting annoyed.

“i’ll give you two options,” the other miles begins. “you can die with bug-boy here, or you can come rule the streets with me.”

your eyes widen as he walks over to you guys, now in a prowler suit. he puts his gauntlet on and shoves you out of the way, putting his hand around your miles’ neck, choking him.

“pick your poison, mami. let’s hope you make the right choice.”

I REALLY HOPE I DID HIM JUSTICE OMG
