[donutsbagels]

Okay I JUST realized I never posted these on here—- BUT BASICALLY, about a year and a half ago I started doing these experimental black hairstyle posts that were threads long on Twitter, to give artists a source of inspo for their black ocs whose hair they wanted to try something new with! There’s more to black hair than just the selected styles portrayed in media, and I thought it would be fun to show people how much texture, shape, fades, length, and style can be combined when drawing black hair—-cause it’s a kind of manipulation our hair can do irl! The OG posts were lost with the hacking of my original Twitter account (@/bagels_donuts) but I’ve since reuploaded the whole thread to my new Twitter (@/ItsDonutsFR)! I hope artists on tumblr find these useful, sorry it took me so long to post them here😭🙏🏾 I’ll upload them all in parts!

20 Ways to Show Extreme Fear in Your Writing

As I dive into researching signs of fear for my horror WIP, I wanted to share some of the most compelling and visceral reactions I’ve come across. Whether you’re writing a chilling scene or crafting a character’s panic, these 20 signs of fear can help bring tension and realism to your story.

Physical Reactions

Hyperventilating — sucking in air but never feeling like it’s enough

Chest tightens — feels like a weight or hands pressing down

Limbs shaking violently, knees buckling

Complete loss of muscle control — collapsing or unable to stand

Cold sweat soaking through clothes

Heart hammering so hard they feel it in their throat or head

Tunnel vision — the world narrowing down to one terrifying focal point

Ringing in the ears or sudden deafness, like the world drops away

Dizziness / feeling faint / vision blurring

Dry mouth — unable to speak or even scream

Uncontrollable Behavior

Screaming / sobbing / gasping — involuntary vocal outbursts

Panic run — bolting without thinking, tripping over everything

Clawing at their own skin / chest / throat — like trying to escape their body

Begging / pleading out loud even if no one’s there

Repeating words or phrases — “No, no, no” / “This isn’t happening”

Hiding instinctively — diving under tables, closets, or corners

Desperate grabbing — reaching for someone, anything solid

Loss of bladder or bowel control (for extreme terror)

Total mental shutdown — frozen, slack-jawed, staring blankly

Memory blackout — later can’t recall what happened during the worst moment

scenarios for that grump x sunshine dynamic

a prompt list by @novelbear ᵔᴥᵔ

letting their chatty partner ramble about their day, listening with a small smile

sunshine toppling over them with the biggest hug they could muster and grump just giving them tiny little pats to reciprocate

grumpy going out of their comfort zone to cheer up their sunshine who's having a bad day

^ "look, i made pancakes! i even made a smiley face out of the whipped cream, see?" "oh, that's what it's supposed to be? you're so cute.."

grumpy calling sunshine names (dummy, idiot, chatterbox) knowing they take no offense to them, but the moment someone else does, they snap

"are you always this happy?" "i try to be, but especially when i'm with you."

sunshine knowing when it's okay to push but never crosses a line when it comes to grumpy's boundaries

sunshine comforting the grump when they're a little more quiet and snappy than usual, leaving grump a flustered mess because they're used to people actually listening when they tell them to leave them alone

"i'm not leaving you like this, i care about you."

sunshine taking grumpy on more active dates than they're used to (like ice skating for example)

[while cloudgazing] "i see a duckling!" "literally how."

sunshine making lunch for grumpy in the cutest way possible (little notes, heart-shaped sandwiches, always adding their fave snack)

getting into arguments about how nice sunshine can be and where it gets out of hand

^ "i was just trying to be nice!" "they were clearly taking advantage of that!" "since when do you care so much?" "i'm trying to look out for you!"

grumpy letting sunshine play with/do their hair

when laundry piles up and grumpy has no choice but to borrow one of sunshine's colorful little sweaters

^ and of course, sunshine coos and smothers them all day over it

"i love you." "i know." "say it back!"

"You don’t get it, do you? Every time I walk away, the ground pulls me back toward you like I’m tethered to this place, to you!"

"I swear, even the rain mocks me, falling harder every time I try to forget you!"

"Why is it that every time I try to move on, the stars spell out your name like they’re taunting me?"

"I hate how every single flower blooms brighter when I think of you! It’s like even nature is against me!"

"I can’t stand it! Every time I get close to letting you go, the wind whispers your name, like it won’t let me forget!"

"Every time I try to bury these feelings, the earth shakes beneath my feet as if it knows what I’m doing!"

"I’ve tried to walk away a hundred times, but every shadow, every flicker of light reminds me of you. It’s like you haunt me!"

"Even the ocean keeps pulling me back to the shore where we stood. Do you know how infuriating that is? I’m drowning in memories of you!"

"Every time I close my eyes, the wind rushes in like it’s carrying your scent! I can’t escape you, even in my dreams!"

"I’ve screamed at the stars, demanded they stop reminding me of you, but they just burn brighter. They know, don’t they? They know!"

"You have no idea how much I’ve fought against this, how much I’ve tried to tear you out of my life, but even the trees whisper your name!"

"It’s like the moon itself mocks me, shining brighter whenever I think of you! It’s unbearable!"

"I hate how even the fire crackles louder when I’m angry with you, like it’s feeding on my frustration! But I can’t stop!"

"Do you know what it’s like to try and forget you, only for the rivers to murmur your name every time I pass by?"

"I curse your name every time I see the sun set, but it still paints the sky in colors that remind me of you!"

"I tried to burn the letters, the memories, but the fire wouldn’t take them! It’s like the universe won’t let me forget you!"

"Every time I get close to leaving, the stars realign, the air shifts, and it feels like the world won’t let me go!"

"You think I want to feel this way? Even the storms rise up when I try to let you go, like the sky is angry at me!"

"I’ve tried to bury it, to push you out, but even the ground beneath me trembles with your name!"

"Every time I get close to moving on, the world bends in your direction! Why can’t I escape this?"

i put “All I Want for Christmas is You” through a MIDI converter, and then back through an mp3 converter

the result is this garbage

[red3blog]

I’m driving myself up the wall because I swear I can hear the vocal line but I don’t know how that could be if it was truly converted to MIDI. Unless you can replicate speech sounds entirely with modulated MIDI notes, in which case I’m actually impressed with this tire fire of an MP3.

[closet-keys]

the worse climate disaster gets, the more you’ll see closet eugenicists start to advocate for letting people die. you need to be prepared to combat the ideology wherever you see it, because it’s only going to get worse and worse Read everything having to do with climate disaster critically. If the central argument underlying what’s being said is that the death of disabled and/or racialized people is inevitable, natural, or desirable– that’s a fascist.

they might be appear to be a garden variety republican or liberal or even a leftist at first, but know that if that argument is being made, their underlying ideology is one of supremacism, and given additional climate stress, they will become more blatant about it.

[consultingfujoshi]

ADHD is so contradictory and counterintuitive to itself it's fucking infuriating lmao like it will FORCE you to talk about hyperfixations no one else has any interest in and then makes you feel TERRIBLE when everyone inevitably and understandably gets sick of hearing you speak about things only you care about and they tell you to stop

[consultingfujoshi]

ADHD literally triggers itself because hyperfixations are so relentless and RSD is so easy to set off. this is what I mean when I say having ADHD is basically just having a brain that hates and actively works against itself. it makes casual communication near on impossible or at least just absolutely fucking excruciating because in order to get through anything without infodumping or otherwise just going feral about whatever your brain has decided to fixate on this week, you have to scold yourself and constantly remind yourself that you are ANNOYING and NO ONE WANTS TO LISTEN TO YOU, but it won't stop it from happening!!! you're always going out of control while knowing full well everyone hates you for it, you hate YOURSELF for it, but you just. can't. stop it

Not everyone hates you for it though.

Soup

Hot hot soup

[catwithbenefits]

fuck if it’s this easy why do they close the goddamn road for like five months shit

[oppa-homeless-style]

all outta soub :(

[czechs-and-holdings-deactivated]

I work for the road crew in the summer. Crack sealing (the process you see above) is fairly quick and simple. (Though holding a hose that pumps literal tons of 350F tar into the road in the middle of the summer is NOT easy)

I think what a lot of people underestimate is just how much road there is in your city. And just how many directions the crew gets pulled.

For our city of around 50k people there are 8 of us.

Also, crack sealing is a wholly temporary measure, meant to slow the break-up of the roads, it’s not a permanent fix.

Roads tend to get closed for months on end because we have to tear the whole thing up, then, depending on the class of road, we either have to hammer-drill into concrete to lay rebar and the pour concrete, or we can get straight to paving. If it’s a road requiring concrete we’re required to wait at least 24 hours for it to set.

So after 2 days we’re finally able to pave. But the city allocates one (two if we’re lucky) 5 ton truck to transport material.

A relatively short paving job requires at a minimum of 60 tons. So that’s 12 trips to the asphalt factory and back. Each ton is around $80.

TL;DR

There’s a lot of road, not many of us, and soup is expensive.

Reminder, if I ever unknowingly reblog from someone gross/don’t notice op but you do PLEASE let me know

I naively kinda assume like a herd immunity will keep posts like that off my dash so I’m not usually super vigilant when it comes to checking op, but sometimes that isn’t the case

So yeah, I will never be upset about being warned of that kind of thing, whether you wanna do anon or whatever I will appreciate the heads up!

[okonesecvhangingurlhello-deacti]

Weird how you guys (Spongebob fandom) are putting an abusive ship on my dash (SquidBob) and not thinking twice about it. But alright.

[mimihime]

>abusive

where?

[okonesecvhangingurlhello-deacti]

Are you really gonna act like Squidward isn’t constantly berating and verbally abusing Spongebob. Like did we watch the same show or what LOL

[daofeibutdead]

literally don’t even bother with this person lol I’m so sick of freaks who hate on squidbob yet still ship patbob as of Patrick isn’t incredibly abusive towards spongebob

[thegodsofold]

is….. is this discourse??? is this actually a thing thats happening???

[okonesecvhangingurlhello-deacti]

Can you learn to mind your business maybe? Could that be a thing that’s happening?

[itsmecartoonistgirl]

Just some tender advice here: Squidward is 9 years older than Spongebob!

If you ship squidbob, you are shipping a middle aged man in his 40s with a young adult!

[daofeibutdead]

are you for real

[okonesecvhangingurlhello-deacti]

Not a fan of SquidBob in any way shape or form but I’m also not about to let somebody spread blatant misinformation on my post.

[itsmecartoonistgirl]

As vague as his age may be I think times such as the first Spongebob film where everyone including squidward calls spongebob a “kid” or “boy” implies that he is still intended to be fairly young. And squidward is implied to be a pretty old guy, I mean look at both their moms for instance.

[okonesecvhangingurlhello-deacti]

SpongeBob’s mother aged gracefully as she is a sponge with a lifespan potentially spanning thousands of years whereas Squidward’s mother was not so lucky as squids have a lifespan of typically no more than 18 months. Squidward’s mother also had to deal with the stresses of raising Squidward which I believe speaks for itself.

[itsmecartoonistgirl]

Alls I’m saying is if people are gonna be shipping squidbob they’re also going to have to reconcile with the fact that Squidward is a old grown man who’s been through high school, college, who’s worked at the Krusty Krab much longer than SpongeBob has, who’s lived in that particular neighborhood longer than SpongeBob has, all while SpongeBob is still dealing with school bullies, being called a kid and a boy by everyone he knows, and getting kisses from his grandma.

They cannot possibly be in the same age group, age or maturity wise. Squidward is obviously an older figure spongebob looks up to that Squidward is known to take advantage of constantly. The age difference definitely plays a part in this.
