#when you feel cornered

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

growing up with a perpetually anxious primary caregiver is such a mindfuck. that shit will rewire your nervous system

#not a shitpost #i get that parenthood and modern life in general is extremely anxiety inducing #and that anxiety is a common mental health issue and anxiety disorders exist and do not disqualify you from being a loving parent #but i am begging you PLEASE do not project your anxiety onto your kids #especially younger kids #your job is to make your kids feel safe and secure. that is a primary requirement #that doesn't mean you can't be anxious! #but just like being angry doesn't mean you're allowed to yell at your kids or slam doors or break things #being anxious doesn't mean you are allowed to surround your kids with your own fear and stress or teach them to share your anxieties #your job is to be a comforting nurturing parental figure. that means projecting comfort and love #even when it is hard! even when you are tired or angry or scared! #which is a damn hard job! and you won't get it right all the time! #but dammit babes you gotta TRY #kids deserve to feel safe and comfortable in their daily lives #you CANNOT be teaching them to expect catastrophe lurking around every corner

genuinely fascinated by the fact that unlike so many other male fictional characters, peeta’s experience with his abusive mother doesn’t make him a violent misogynist but a pathological people pleaser

#does anyone ever consider that peeta makes himself so agreeable because he’s trying to fit in the box of someone who’s easy to swallow #it’s wonderful that he’s not pushy at all with katniss’s feelings and is willing to be her friend #but i wonder how much of his belief that she is in love with gale #has to do with the fact that his perception of himself is so low #he’s literally willing to take whatever corner of space in her life she wants to offer him #which again is great #but also kind of sad when you consider why he might feel that way #peeta #peeta mellark #the hunger games

will holding mike's face when they kiss and mike holding will's neck when they kiss. that is all

#something something mike getting called frog face and being insecure about his looks and something something will loving him BECAUSE of that #<- like. how he looks #and so when they kiss his fingers naturally drift to mike's face to run over his defined jaw and his cheeks and in his messy curly hair #because will loves & adores those parts of him so much & he finally gets to cherish them as his. #and mike like. tears up about it or whatever. and something something mike subconciously feeling like he needs to protect will from #-everything so he places his hands - his big giant hands that he has also probably been insecure about - over will's neck to cover it #-completely because he wants to stamp out that feeling that darkness lurks around every corner in will's neck #he just wants will to feel safe and warm in his arms and the heat of mike's hands practically dissolves the chill down will's neck #or whatever. if you even care. and they make out sloppy also #stranger things #byler #mike wheeler #will byers #st.txt

Are you really here?

Or are you just a shimmer of a love I lost?

Gem’s bloodlust is genuinely scary and unsettling and I adore it and her so much

… I hit tag limit on this and I’m not even close to done spilling my thoughts in the tags so I’m going to post so I can copy my tags into real text and keep writing them

#I can’t imagine facing her as one of the uninfected when she’s got my heart rate up just watching from her perspective #she’s a hunter #I’ve written something before about how she talks about murder in the same excited tone as cute decorations #and people sometimes underestimate her because of it despite her reputation as a good fighter #but she’s not a fighter she’s a predator #she’s a hunter and even watching from her perspective sometimes it feels like she’s hunting me #she’s hunting All #and it’s exciting and fun for her #and she needs her pack to some extent but when it gets too big she needs to split off again #idk what’s going on in these tags it’s just. hnnghhh. Red Gem #or even before she went red #just bloodthirsty predator gem reveling in the thrill of the hunt #it’s not nearly as much fun on your own but once you’ve killed a couple people to your side and have the numbers to terrify people #you can do that. you can circle around your prey and corner them and terrify them before you kill them #and it feels like power and it feels like a game and it feels like fun #because it’s not life or death it’s success or failure #but maybe everything is a game to a creature like gem who hops between worlds at will #what if she could leave secret life at any time #like she could hop between empires and hermitcraft at any time #if she can leave then she really is just there to have a chance to enjoy the hunt in a setting where it’s expected #encouraged even #death games as a way to satisfy her bloodlust so it doesn’t spill over someplace where it might Actually Hurt #death games to take the edge off #death games to get a chance to reveal the fangs behind her grin and the sharp points of her antlers #we call her a deer because that’s the closest thing our minds can connect to her appearance #but she’s always been a little too Other for that #oh and now the Void has taken root in her too #it’s claimed her eye and arm #maybe it helped guide her aim #or maybe she’s always been a creature of the space between worlds (what with the way she hops between them)

All my life I wore #68... [x]

#still having feelings #his face when jags gives him the head pat though #and he looks so relieved when jags says yes #like he was worried he might actually say no #bless him #<333 #just imagining him back in the locker room afterwards #sitting in a corner somewhere with sid like #all breathless and hearteyes all over the place #'I talked to him and he was really nice and he said he would sign my jersey and did you see? did you see? he gave me a headpat!' #anyway... #mine:gif #mine:tanger #gif:t #tanger #jagr #penguins #practice #jagr’s homecoming

pays for his therapy

#ocarina of time #oot #ganondorf #excuse how cunty hes drawn here it is because i want him. anyway #just as a sidenote these are examples of like 2 different kinds of smiles i feel like i associate with him #first one is the Almost Grimace. or like a wider more performative smile #which happens to be offputting sometimes because he has a tendency to show too much of his incisors. cute and also occasionally offputting #the second one is like. you know how (especially in Wind Waker iirc) he will grin but like. only the corners of his mouth show his teeth #and the middle part stays closed somehow. it’s not just when he smiles either it’s just like a thing he does with his face #its so funny its such a unique trait. anyway i like to think that one is less practiced and more genuine #i also like his silly jagged teeth in wind waker…..i think its meant to be partly some permanent effect from his Boar Events #but also like. what if his teeth are kind of just jagged in some places and not perfectly straight #even when he’s much younger lol like he’s just always kinda had that. #extreme charm point…….imo……………

I'm starting to feel like my current horror film project is just cursed

Like, I made a first attempt to shoot it back in early 2020, but just when I had a cast the pandemic started.

In late 2021 I made another attempt, had everything ready, but then the pandemic worsened and due to Covid restrictions I couldn't meet up with everyone for the shoot and we just gave up.

Then last fall I started my current attempt after joining my film club, this time around with a larger cast and crew. I wanted to start shooting in January, but had organization issues, so I pushed back the shoot to early March.

Two weeks before the planned start, one of the actors suddenly said he won't be able to make it, but luckily I found a replacement fairly quickly.

The same day another actor texted me to let me know he's in intensive care in the hospital and might not make it to the first day of shooting, so I moved all his shots to a later date.

One week before the planned start a stand-in actress left the project because she noticed she had exams during the time. I texted several other people to no avail until I ultimately found someone after three days.

TWO DAYS BEFORE THE PLANNED START ONE OF THE LEAD ACTRESSES LEFT THE PROJECT DUE TO A FAMILY EMERGENCY so I texted my friend in high panic mode and luckily she had time.

All this and the new availabilities led to me pushing the shoot back two more weeks.

And now we wait what's gonna go wrong until then.

#personal post #filmmaking is hard sometimes #though the organization troubles are mostly my fault because i didn't use the support offers as much as i should've #and just generally rushed the project a bit #but also jesus christ you can't just leave a project two days before it starts when you're in 80% of the shots oh my god #my impostor syndrome is crying in a corner rn because i feel completely unprofessional but like #at least that wasn't my fucking fault

“Do you know what this means?” Ice asks as he takes Maverick’s dogtags and holds the ring on them.

“… I love you,”

“No,” he says, “It means I love you, and I do, and have, and will love you forever,”

He looks at Ice like there’s nothing else in the whole world, and there isn’t, not really, not right now.

“Don’t you ever forget that Pete,”

#this is one of the nights when mav is just doubting everything in his life #more specifically the fact that he feels ice doesn’t love him #EVEN THOUGH they are very much married at this point #anyone and everyone is free to elaborate on this if you would like!!! #sobbing quietly in my corner of this beautiful hellsite #spontaneous tiny piece of writing done in what- five minutes? #i love them so much? #ms tg #ms fanfics #icemav #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #top gun #ms textpost
