I think I love Sanji so extra much because he’d acknowledge my ‘girl-ness’ in a way that I feel like has not ever been acknowledged in a way I wanted it to be wails

The chivalry intended not with hopeful reciprocation but with admiration. WAILS.

#nc111 talks #like growing up the whole concept of ‘being one of the boys’ was so stupid to me #mostly because I had so many guy friends and I was not appreciative of their treatment of me at all #there were definitely times where I wanted to tell them like. hm. I wish you would respect my girlhood a bit more #I love being a woman. I really do #my girlhood is something I keep very close to me. I was very jealous of other girls in my school who exuded that type of femininity #speaking purely from personal experience - just to make that clear #but I like being and being associated with traits that are quite literally stereotypically aligned with Girl-ness #so hard to explain!! but at its core I just love chivalry though lol #one of my friends was like ugh no I’d never want a guy to hold a door open for me just because I’m a girl #‘I’d want them to hold it open because it’s just a kind thing to do’ #and like. yes. core sentiment I totally agree with #but also I Do want to be acknowledged as a girl I spent all of my childhood and teen years having my Girl-ness barely recognised and #it sucked seing the disparity in the treatment #but it also sucked seeing the intent with which these guys treated women chivalrously #which is why Sanji appeals to me. his chivalry is not ill intended or manipulative. ever. and it acknowledges womanhood all the same #OK RAMBLINGGGG #lost the plot. point is I love Sanji because I see him do his little dance while giving Robin a dessert she never had to ask for and I sigh #WISH THAT WERE ME. #edit: none of this matters mostly because I don’t care to date men #but I suppose it’s like. even in my friendships with other girls I feel like there was an inherent establishment that ok so I act as the Guy #And She acts as the girl #when we go out their arms would wrap around mine #and mine never wrapped around theirs. does that make sense #hold their hand as they walked down the stairs in heels. helped them out of cars. you get the image #SANJI WOULD HOLD MY HAND OUT OF A CAR EVERY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love him #I’d never have to ask! ah. love chivalry.

fic rec friday 54

hello and welcome to fic rec friday! where, on friday, i rec five of my favourite fics.

all i want for christmas by tusslee

“Listen,” Lance squeezes Keith’s fingers in his hands, “I’m as bad at this as you probably are and this is going to be really cheesy, but that’s the way I was raised and I know I act like an idiot around pretty girls, but I’m an even bigger idiot around you. Go ahead and try to guess why that is. No, actually don't do that."

this one is gonna be an xmas special!! even though im writing this before halloween lol. anyways. this was so cute!! lance being all stressed about what he should get keith bc he's all in love w him any everything. so real.

2. You're Here (Where You Should Be) by @blue-wanderer

"And if you’re worried about the cameras just take care of them.” “Take care—! Take care of them? With what, Keith?” “I don’t know?” Keith asks, busily testing his foothold in the gate and generally ignoring the rising storm cloud of ire behind him. “With a gun?” “A gun? This isn’t some sort of black ops storming an enemy base thing! This is a Christmas tree thing!” “I don’t see a difference? You’re the sharpshooter. Shoot out the cameras.” “Let me just pull a gun out of my ass, Keith!” “OK, problem solved,” Keith agrees, taking another step up the gate. “Nothing is solved you dumb country space redneck!”

Or Keith and Lance may be disasters at decorating, but Christmas still manages to work its magic on them.

i bookmarked this like a year ago and let me tell you all i needed to hear was dumb country space redneck and i was hooked 😭😭 and it lived up to the name fr. hate the canon ending? want lance to not be a farmer while still acknowledging his struggles with homesickness? want some whipped keith and meddlesome kosmo? want some cheesy xmas feels? click ahead!

3. make my wish come true by angelbolt

“A world where one has to fight for custody of one’s boyfriend is a godless one,” Lance muttered, slumping so he was leaning against Hunk. Shiro exchanged some final words with Kolivan before the screen blipped out. Ah yes, the ideal Christmas Eve: long boring talks and war meetings. Wonderful. ❆❅❆ keith comes home for christmas.

fun game idea: take a shot every time you see a klance xmas fic with a mariah carey lyric. lol. ANYWAYS yall know me and established relationship + early season dynamics!! i am obsessed!! and this fic delivers!! grumpy lance pov who just wants the rest of the world to fuck off for a couple days so he can have his bf around. he's such a voice of the people

4. i'll be home for christmas by @thespacenico

A severe bout of winter weather threatens to stop Shiro from making it home for his first Christmas with Keith. Shiro is ready to do whatever it takes to keep his promise.

okay this one is from darcy's i've got you brother, which i am obsessed with and have cried over several times, and which just recently updated! this fic is so cute and a adashi with young keith always fucking gets to me, man. they're just so. shiro being so desperately determined to keep his promise to young keith who has had so many promises broken that he doesnt even expect shiro to try. but is happy that he does. sobbing.

5. the greatest gift of all by dumpsterdiva

Keith’s mouth hung open for a few seconds before he stammered, “D-do you really mean that?” Lance looked a bit sheepish as he said, “I… It’s crazy, right? I mean, it’s way too soon. You know I was kidding.” Keith straightened up. “Well, I’m not. Marry me.” “What?!” “You heard me, you coward. Marry me.” “That’s the worst proposal ever!” “Worse than you threatening me with marriage so I would stop talking about how amazing you are?”

YOU GUYS KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT PROPOSAL FICS. i feel ksjbskdbqjdbqwlwd about them. okay. and throw in a christmas setting??? and banter?? and a MODERN AU?? i am doing my best, people. this fic had me shoving a pillow into my face and screaming.

that’s it for today!! happy holidays! merry christmas!! i’ll see y’all back next friday for the next fic rec post!!!

#i like them being gay and stupid and soft and surrounded by xmas lights #its so healing to me #keith puts the rizz in christmas btw #vld #voltron #lance #lance mcclain #keith #keith kogane #fully almost wrote keith mcclain #u know what??? #keith mcclain #best kind of accident #keith would so do that by accident #like on a mission report or something #GASP okay i was looking for a fic tonight #well the tonight i am writing this which is october 27th. i wonder if ill actually do it lol #established klance #fic rec #fic rec friday #christmas #blade keith #soft keith #longpost #soft lance #soft klance #broganes #shiro #takashi shirogane #keith & shiro

[ganondoodle]

made it to lvl 100 of the skull caverns for the first time ever in stardew (i made it once before i think but collapsed in that very room bc of the time limit back in the day lol)

severly disappointed with the reward, Qi congratulated me for doing it without crafting staircases likE REaL mEn talking about my farmer and him like they are both so above and beyond 'normal' people-

....................i did craft staircases....................

#ganondoodles talks #apparently its enough to stop using them right before you enter #that was pure coincidence #HOWEVER i used only a few to get away from lots of monsters lol #the new late game additions did make it a little better to deal with #also i cannot stand Qis ass #whats his problem #stop giving me stupid quests like that i just wanna decorate my farm #but my drive to get the items he sells for those dumb gems you only get by doing his dumb quests is too strong #WHY do they start on the first day of the week though #'do this in seven days- time left 1 day' #you need to understand i hate time limits of any kind #it forces me into a frenzy of trying to be as fast as possible to get most of the day #and thus leads to me speedrunning everything instead of enjoying it #also i hate the way he talks #a mutual said he talks like some big ceo to which everything is a game especially and only him and your farmer are exceptional beings #and its like #now that i finally heard that talk #yeah- yeha he does sound like that

[kanrix]

So like the narrator bot is currently feral and is trying to kill me- like. On all fours foaming at the mouth feral 😭

I'm beginning to believe this is more the site's fault than the AI

#ask #anonymous #which it is btw lol #the people who made this sitw are kind of. maybe #a little bit fucking stupid #(<- whoops what happened there)

[littlespoonevan]

one thing i still genuinely do not understand is why all of these teen shows set in high school aren't just set in college instead. when i think of all the shows i watched in my teens/early 20s they all have the exact same problems and all of those problems could be solved if they were just. set in college instead?????????? actors don't look 16?? that's cool bc they're in college so they can reasonably be anywhere from 18-24. parents seemingly non-existent or disappear for episodes at a time??? nbd all the characters moved out for college so they don't see their parents that often. characters going to endless parties, having unlimited access to alcohol, and sleeping with a different person every ep??? sure makes a lot more sense if they're in college!!!! characters randomly having free time in the middle of the day??? everyone's college schedule is different!

like!!! there are so many shows that completely lose the run of themselves by s3 bc their characters start off 16 and now they're supposed to be graduating and all the plans they had and colleges they wanted to go to now need to Go Away bc they need a reason for them all to still stay in the same setting which means basically messing up 2-3 seasons worth of character development. and i just cannot understand how none of these tv execs thought, hey maybe if we make them freshman in college this would make more sense bc we'd at least have a plan for 4 seasons and even if we reach graduation we could still feasibly transition them into their career paths without disrupting the existing dynamic??????????? teenagers would still watch that, the demographic wouldn't change???????? college is still a tumultuous time where people are growing and learning and making mistakes and having new experiences?????????? where are all the shows set in college where are they?????????????????????????

#can u tell i'm on s3 of gossip girl lmao my biggest gripe is how all we heard for 2 seasons was what colleges they wanted to go to #and none of them ended up there #which like okay that can happen but for NONE of them to actually do what they'd planned to do????? when they were all extremely driven #and high achieving???? (well okay dan and blair were lol) #the same happened with glee #or else you end up with shows doing like an endless senior year which is also stupid #or a tIME SKIP don't get me started on time skips #the only show i can legit think of from the 2010s that was actually set in college was how to get away with murder #anyway it's wild to me that in tv most shows are either set in high school or mid to late 20s and beyond #why does everyone skip the college portion what's wrong with it #there's a reason college aus are one of my favourite kinds of fic they have #so much potential #text

#date went rly well but it was SO rainy and cold lol. he's really #really sweet and we might hang out again and i think he just kind of asked me out on impulse LOL #no red flags etc we have a lot in common; he's lived in washington and in california for a long time so we got to talk about that #hes a dnd nerd and even with a beard he's even better looking in person which was... very intimidating #i was trying REALLY hard not to stare at his hair but it's like 3 feet long and bright red and smooth and beautiful and #also he has huge brown/hazel eyes and a rly nice smile so i really felt like a potato with bad skin rip #i think he was relieved i wanted to have a sort of low-key and chill hangout instead lol and i think we'll hang out again #but unfortunately bc it was more just like chatting and gettign to know each other i didn't get the chance to be like sooooo im asexual #so im still nervous abt that #and he's so sweet that i feel rly bad if that was a huge disappointment for him :( #anyway #that's how my date went who woulda thought stupid old goblin me would go on a first date with a very beautiful ginger wizard boy at age 32 #tbd

Having demand avoidance in a medical setting is literally hell. Like, patient autonomy is already absolute ass. It's only made worse when doctors CONSISTENTLY tell you what to do and act like you HAVE to do it instead of consulting with you first like normal fucking people.

#also “”“”medical necessity“”“” is NOT an excuse here. #ive been to plenty of doctors that thoroughly discuss a range/timeline of treatment and explain it IN DETAIL before saying “thats what i- #-recommend“ instead of just going ”okay were gonna do this. im gonna explain the prep to you a mile a minute and if you have any follow up- #-questions im just gonna repeat part of my spiel with no clarification. and if i cant answer your questions too bad :)“ #not to mention how many doctors just force you to do things that WILL NEVER WORK #like one therapist tried forcing me to do emdr when i was only IN HER TOWN for the summer and i had no internet access when i was at college #im pretty sure emdr takes several weeks to work and i did not have that kind of time available to me. i couldnt just drop out bc of ptsd. #also the number of times ive had to decline an ESI is stupid. I've already had 2! they didn't work! i had a bad reaction to the meds! #why am i being forced to do it again? #also back surgery. i cant do that because i am a white trash rural kid and our home (which we built ourselves) CANNOT be accessible enough #for spinal surgery recovery. but i went to the surgeon and he was like “thats valid! and also surgery literally wouldnt help you so idk why- #-they sent you here.“ : l It's cool to be right all the time lol #its like. no wonder i developed medical demand avoidance after so much traumatizing and malpracticy bullshit in my life #demand avoidance #medical demand avoidance #chronic illness burnout #chronic illness #chronic pain #medical tw #ptsd #disability #medical neglect #medical trauma #vent #this might be too personal. if i do delete it ill have it rb'd on my boar-deer-whitetrashbutterfly blog first #idk i just havent really been able to find anyone else talking about this specific effect of being chronically ill/disabled.

[chynandri]

Cuz I’ve been drawing engage for donations/comm I watched some supports out of curiosity. Diamant really feels like Chrom in some ways, cuz even the cadence of how they talk is similar. However I realized the difference is that Chrom has snark and… is kind of a brat (?) sometimes LMAO… and Diamant just seems like an all around standup guy from the supports

#fire emblem #Chrom just got kind an edge in the og awakening #that later iterations tone down #but I fondly remember #but like they’re both very earnest and well meaning kind people #I think perhaps it’s how chroms lack of social tact got toned down to Just social anxiety or awkwardness #which he also has! #but it’s made him cuter instead of. kind of a loser and annoying LOL?????? #Chrom @ Lissa’s insecurities: you’re STUPID #Chrom frobin support. yep #chrom mrobin support. he’s callous and dismissive #I can go on

[hiding-under-the-willow]

You ever write some shit where you're like 'oh yeah I'm totally just describing what this guy is doing in his free time nothing else im just setting the scene it's unnecessarily detailed for no particular reason' and then realize you are in fact just info dumping about some shit you are interested in actually

#writing about ed edgar raising ball pythons in absurd detail in a story that is absolutely not about that bc i personally love snakes <3 #down to like the specific morph of the snake and how it stays with it's siblings until after it's first shed #as if that has anything to do with anything else that's about to happen after his snake time gets interrupted by the actual plot lmao #also it is a cut over to Ed's perspective after what is just about the most intense scene in this little oneshot I'm writing #which makes it much funnier bc of the sudden change in tone #i mean that was the point. the tone contrast was very much on purpose. but it ended up a lot more intense than i expected lol #anyways I'm coping with no wifi by spending all my time writing some incredibly specific bs when i should be working on inheritance lmao #look sometimes you're running on nothing but five hours of sleep and blorbo thoughts #and you end up spending a day writing 3000 words of an incredibly specific scenario in which said blorbo gets the shit kicked out of them #and then you end the day writing a bit about his friend peacefully raising snakes and listening to cowboy music in the meantime #atlas speaks #side note. the fact that these stupid little personal posts keep ending up on my main is a testament to the power of this fandom #bc this is the type of thing that absolutely would've been quarentine to my personal blog where no one would've seen it a few months ago #so that's kind of cool

[lesbiangiratina]

I just bought all the strive dlc for the second time arcsys for the love of god use my money for something good

#i got… a playtation… and i want to play the 25th anniversary strive copy i got… #i misunderstood . i thought it comes with season 1 + 2 but not 3. no its only 3? which is dumb. #and i had to make a jp account to use the code and well i was confused when i turned the game on and all i had was johnny LOL #i didnt feel like figuring out how to make purchases on the jp store so whatever i just bought all the dlc on a us account… #which is kind of stupid cuz. well i AM going to get my laptop fixed so i WILL be able to play strive on there again 1 day… #but well. the next few days are going to suck a little i want something to do. i want to play gibby gear on my gibby gear machine. #AND I NEED TESTAMENT TO DO THAT! and also opponent variety. #GRAHHHH!!!!!! #the kat goes meow

[lonesomedotmp3]

the utter lack of affection or care amongst my extended family is so bleak and miserable

#like I don't get on or chat with fucking any of my english cousins. the few I did #get on well with disappeared from my life out of nowhere because of family drama #the ones left are older than me and they never cared about me lol #and they're all boys which I don't think helped things when we were younger #but that shouldn't matter. I get on with my spanish male cousin fine ! he's lovely! #but the people I'm with every winter and birthday etc are just completely cold and detached #I have no real relationship with any of my uncles or aunts or cousins #it's not like there's even one I can go and talk to while everyone else is ignoring me lol #I've got my brother and that's it and of course he's just a little kid #he's either trying to get attention from the adults or trying to get me to play with him #which is fine. but. ugh. #it's just like I should've had this big network of people who cared about me statistically I should've had at least one family #member who I had some kind of unique or close bond with and I never did I never got it #I grew up with two sisters and I never got it. I think about what it could be like with sisters who gave a shit about me all the time #If I had someone to talk to besides my parents or about my parents it would be such a weight off my back #and all I've got it my brother and he's just too young for me to put any of my life on his shoulders #my biggest fear is that when he hits puberty he'll begin to think I'm embarrassing and stupid and not like me anymore #and then I'll really have nothing

[asyouwlsh]

thought I’d take a bath tonight, forgot I hurt my foot yesterday until I’d put the stupid thing in the water… soap. ow. 🥲

#implied blood #cw injury #now in the bath with one foot hanging out. not exactly the sexy wind down I wanted to prep for monday morning after such a busy weekend lol #nsft in tags #nsft implied #between cfs/fibro symptoms and scoliosis and now this stupid clumsiness… it’s all been the not-fun kind of pain recently #which feels unfair tbh

[builtyouahousefromabrokenhome]

Oh this explains exactly why I hated Mean Girls:

Because jesus christ NO!!! YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THAT o_O;;;

My family moved around a lot so I transferred schools a lot lol, often in the middle of the school year too. Thanks to that I experienced a wide variety of social dynamics. In the worst, most hierarchic and 'kill or be killed' schools, I was a weirdo outsider, sometimes with literally no friends (which was fine; I knew that wouldn't last forever, bc we were probably going to move again in a couple years). In other schools where there was much less hierarchy and performance, and much more solidarity and camaraderie, I had a lot of friends and was part of many social groups.

Is your school, workplace, family etc. shit? Well, it's not like that everywhere!

You don't have to ruin your life, sell your soul or abandon all morals trying to 'fit in' when the system is shit.

YOU CAN RESIST THE SYSTEM.

#honestly #this kind of reasoning is just making up excuses for your horrible behaviour #'no but everyone else was doing it!!!!' #'we only did it to protect ourselves!!!!!^1' #'we did it because we desired to be accepted!!!!' #fuck off #that's what people holding up other fascist systems tell themselves too #lol #peer pressure is one of the most pathetic things in the world #and cause for so much stupid and horrible shit #oh and 'look!!! in this fictional story EVERYONE is mean! even the home schooled kid and the kids who really want to be kind!!!' #'so that's exactly how it works in real life too!! because the story wasn't made up or influenced at all by an author or anything!!!!' #(lol sorry for the rant ig but i've been mainlining dan and phil for the last few months) #(and dan talks a lot about his horrible school experiences which has made me think a lot about weird school experiences too :( )

Books of 2023: DISORIENTATION by Elaine Hsieh Chou.

I tend to wait for lit fic in paperback instead of purchasing the hardback, but I've had my eye on this one since the hardback came out. I'm enjoying it so far! The Goodreads reviews are very polarized (people either love it or think it's hugely stupid), but it's easy to read and has made me laugh out loud a couple times (like weaponizing a box of jumbo tampons + toilet for a Heist Cover--this shit is ridiculous, I love it).

#books #books of 2023 #disorientation #elaine hsieh chou #book photography #yarn #also ingrid's 29yo life/career crisis is. too relatable. #apparently this was a booktok sensation which. fear. #but it's the right level of absurd and stupid for me lol and i do appreciate the different kinds of conversations the asian women have vs-- #--white men and asian women lmao #a lot of salty GR reviews are 'this is 101 level stuff' but like. sometimes people need 101 lol #and ingrid is such a mood about a lot of things XD

[caracello]

i loooove to play with tropes with my self inserts, but i don't usually lean toooo hard into them with the ships themselves. IT DEPENDS i adore a good cheesy knight/princess romance, for example, but the more drama-esque tropes just don't usually click with how i prefer to go about romance. that said, though, i kind of want to make ocelot and somebody on-and-off lovers.

#he strikes me as um. Flighty . in relationships. To say the least. #it doesn't help that a lot of those drama-esque tropes tend to lean towards jealousy. #which i think is ridiculous at the very best. but i think some stupid drama may actually work with the kind of person ocelot is lol. #crushposting #idkkkk i need to look into him more i'm struggling a bit to really pin down his personality. #why hasn't someone posted a 4 page long character analysis on him yet. hm?
