i love pitting classically trained magic users against self-taught magic users in sci-fi/fantasy but it shouldn’t be snobbish disdain for them it should be terror
“WHO TAUGHT YOU LIGHTNING BEFORE BASIC TELEKINESIS. LOSING MY MIND WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU JUST DID IT. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAST WITH YOUR BARE HANDS”
Literally 99.9% of callouts, this is the end goal. The end goal is to incite enough harassment against a person to effectively chase them off of the internet.
Imagine a ballroom setting and seeing your F/O through the crowd. When they spot you, they smile at the sight of you and start making their way through the throngs of people. Are they walking slow, reveling in the buildup of tension before they finally reach you? Or are they nearly running towards you, foregoing propriety in order to reach you faster? Or are you the one making your way to them?
When they doreach you, they hold out their hand and ask you dance with them. (If you approached them, you do this)
If you accept, you spend the evening in each other’s arms, dancing with eyes only for the one you love.
If you don’t (i.e. you’re not one for ballroom dancing or you can’t dance for whatever reason), perhaps a stroll through the nearby gardens under the moonlight?
Either way, your F/O wants to spend the entire evening by your side.
stede’s only ever seen himself as Just Some Guy so i really can’t wait for season 2 where ed is going to be openly thirsting for him. it’s all about feeling wanted by the person you want, something stede has never experienced and something ed may have felt before to some degree but for all the wrong reasons.
Even saying ”I’m so sorry, I completely forgot” sounds marginally better than ” I’m so sorry, I didn’t completely forget, I actually completely remembered. I thought about it the whole time and it stressed me out so much my brain built an insurmountable wall around it.”
seeing “balanced” takes on abortion makes me want to state for the record i love abortion. I love it. Unapologetically. I love all my friends who have had abortions and all the reasons they’ve had them. i love people who treat abortion flippantly I love people who have a lot of emotions about their abortion. I love people who will have only one abortion in their whole life and people who will have many. abortion is great, no caveats. Its not a moral quandary. if someone doesn’t want to be pregnant they should have safe access to rectifying the state of their own body

@voteroberts was kind enough to let me into his amazing collaboration effort with some incredible artists. I’m truly honoured to officially contribute to my favourite franchise of all time. This painting wouldn’t have existed if I hadn’t seen Yoji Shinkawa’s character art in the MGS booklet years ago - ‘you can draw for video games huh?!’
This piece is a crazy one! I tried to keep things faithful and give my rendition of snake - somewhere between the original art and the face from the games.”
Being unable to curl up in a ball because their tummy is too bloated and the pressure of pulling their legs up is too much
Moaning and rubbing their tummy in their sleep
When their tummy is too tender to be touched or rubbed so there’s nothing they or their care taker can do to sooth the pain
Being so full or bloated the their belly gets a red/pink flush
Having to go to the hospital because the pain is so bad, then having to clutch their belly and cry while their caretaker holds them while they sit in the waiting room
Being in the hospital and hearing someone screaming or vomiting in another room
“Please, it hurts so bad, please help me”
“Oh god by belly, make it stop!”
Having their belly painfully pressed and prodded when examined by a doctor
Guarding their tummy when someone tried to get near it
“Ah! Don’t touch it, i-it’s too painful!”
The caretaker tries to touch or rub the belly but it causes them more pain/to violently throw up
Moans turning into whimpers, which turn into cries, then turn into screams
Being so desperate they have to frantically rub their own aching tummy, desperately trying to find some kind of relief
“I-I can’t take it, please make it stop, it’s too much”
Cramps so bad they double over
Bellies being described as “swollen” or “bloated”
Tummies that shake, quiver or bounce from the sheer pain/pressure
“Oohhhh…. m-my, my tummy….”
When their tummy is so packed their system can’t handle it and they need someone to help get things moving by pushing and kneeding the belly, even though the added pressure causes their tummy to hurt so much more. They cry and writhe under the care takers touch but they have to go through it to make their belly feel better in the long run
Or maybe there’s no one to help rub their stuffed tummy so their poor guts have to struggle and strain all night with all the food they overloaded their system with
Writhing on the bed, clawing and grabbing at their belly in pain
Just clutching their bellies in general is really good
Care takers gently placing a hand on an upset tummy and being able to feel the turmoil going on underneath the skin
Cuddling and pressing tummies together, feeling how bloated the other is against their own stomach
Bellies that swell up as gas builds in their guts, big pockets of air that stretch their stomach and twist up their intestines as they move through their digestive system
When their tummy is full of gas and they feel it bubbling inside them
Non stop gurgling
“My belly, my belly…”
Being so full it makes the skin of their tummy extra sensitive, so they can’t have clothes or blankets rubbing up against them
Shallow breaths because their bloated tummy is taking up too much room and their lungs can’t expand properly
Begging their own tummy to stop hurting
Gasping in pain
Tummies that are hard to the touch
Patting the tummy instead of rubbing it
“Ow my tummy, ohhh… my tummy hurts so much, I can’t take it anymore…”
all i need in my social interactions is to feel comfortable being very silly in front of a person … there is nothing better than being silly in front of a person
I’ve talked in the past about how the American cowboy was often employed as a stock Exotic Foreigner™ archetype in Victorian pulp fiction, but when Dracula Daily finally gets to the part where Quincey Morris shows up is going to be a lot of folks’ first exposure to what that actually looked like in practice, and frankly I’m fascinated to see how Tumblr at large is going to react.
LOVE the trope of a captive finally getting ransomed back to their own side and they’re brought out in front of their friends for the first time in weeks, maybe months, squinting in the bright light, pale and bruised and limping, and they’re practically dragged towards their friends before being dropped unceremoniously at their feet, they try to tell everyone they’re okay or even make a joke, but start to sway and then pass out before they can finish speaking.
Everyone wants to rush forward and help them but Whumper is still in the room and Whumpee is still in danger until the trade is complete. The team watches an uninjured Whumpee helplessly, even though they’re only feet away.
