Just random stuff.

Nice to meet you and welcome :)

[penandinkprincess]

the main post is getting giant and has so many threads on it already, but the idea of the first time shane has a contact reaction being AFTER ILYA KNOWS ABOUT THE ALLERGIES AND HAS TRIED SO HARD TO KEEP HIS HOUSE SAFE

during the literal YEARS of not knowing he could potentially kill shane? NO

THE ALLERGIES WAITED UNTIL HE FELT SAFE

he had fries or something while he was out at a bar with the team and didn't think about it because he didn't order them and was just absentmindedly grazing from the plate that got shared, but he goes home to shane, kiss kiss, starting to strip, and then shane just *increasingly frequent pauses to try and clear his throat* *realization about what's happening*

and after the terror is over and shane has been treated and is okay again, ilya is just ??? fucking SERIOUSly??? years and years of lucky breaks and it's a few random fucking fries cooked in peanut oil that do it??? what the FUCK

[penandinkprincess]

GOD post-outing but pre-knowing about shane's allergies, the team just assumes oh?? the bar must have said something homophobic or something??? cap must have been the only one who heard it?? and they're now like well FUCK that place >:( and start refusing to go there, too.

only to find out later it's because ilya blames it for making his kisses deadly to boyfriends with peanut allergies

RODNEY NOOOOOOO

[ginalinettiofficial]

rodney’s wife over here watching her husband of thirty years go through a one-sided breakup just like “babe. babe the bar is still doing fine this isn’t affecting our bottom line and i’m SURE it’s just a coincidence and boodram was having a bad day.” but rodney can’t and won’t hear it. the centaurs hate him, personally, and he is inconsolable about it.

[penandinkprincess]

fucking TEARS IN MY EYES laughing at this but also filled with so much real sympathy for this fake man.

i'm just picturing a long montage of rodney just fucking. looking at the pictures and sighing. looking out the window and sighing. looking at the table the cens usually sit at and sighing.

and meanwhile tanya is just, "?? why are you taking this harder than when the kids left for college??"

[dreamofbecoming]

#heated rivalry#shallergies#the kicker is that if ANYONE talked about ANYTHING rodney would have anything peanut out of that bar IMMEDIATELY#GONE#GONE FROM HIS BAR#he would personally spit on every peanut he sees for the rest of his life if it would mean the return of his boys </3#GOD#after shane is in ottawa someone in passing mentions the bar#and it's kind of wistful but they're like 'good riddance for being shitty to cap though'#and ilya is just ?? 'what?? what are you talking about?'#'y-you hate that bar?'#'yes is bad place.'#'??? be-because?? someone said something shitty to you?'#'what? no? they made me poison hollander.'#shane from the side: 'what??? are you talking about???'#'the time i kissed you and you went into shock when you were visiting. is because i was at the bar and something had peanuts i didn't know.#the rest of the team: '...THAT'S WHY WE STOPPED GOING TO-'#and now shane is just 'ilya you can't swear off a bar forever because you accidentally cross-contaminated me'#'can and am and will hollander. no forgiveness.'#'ilya they didn't even fucking know. you're being ridiculous.'#now everyone on the team who has given rodney the cold shoulder is just 'o-oh no. oh god. oh fuck.'#them returning to the bar with a gift basket and having to be like 'soooo due to a misunderstanding and also peanuts-'#pffft oh my GOD roddy's bar ends up becoming one of the most allergy-safe bars in ottawa after this XD#rodney becomes fucking MILITANT about it#it takes like six times of the team going there and reporting back before ilya decides to trust it again#and rodney nearly sheds a tear the day it finally happens#meanwhile tanya is just 'you really couldn't have just like. bought a mustang or something?? if you were going to do the late life crisis?' (via op)

pen you can’t keep doing this to me you can’t keep dragging me into fandoms i’m not in and making me emotionally invested in characters who aren’t even in the source material! please i have a family!

[penandinkprincess]

IF HE HAD TO BE OTTAWANDA TO KEEP THE CENS AT HIS BAR, HE WOULD BE OTTAWANDA TO KEEP THE CENS AT HIS BAR.

i also love the idea of this older man who wasn't a homophobe but also wasn't like. an active outspoken queer ally because it just didn't occur to him as something to be. who is now AGGRESSIVELY inclusive in this bar. if you don't like it? get OUT. he lost the cens once, and it will NOT happen again. not on his watch! not while he lives!!! for every shitty comment, five new rainbow flags go up!! keep pushing him!!!

and the kids aren't, like...judging. but they are going to tanya and being like, "uuuuh, mom? is dad...trying to come out? in like. a really weird sideways way?"

and tanya just *heavy sigh* "honey i WISH it was that simple."

Be open to the possibility that things will turn out better than you could imagine.

the wisdom ive learnt is that becoming part of a friend group 1) takes a long time and 2) involves a lot of feeling awkward and left out at first. there’s nothing terrible about this but if you grew up chronically lonely or have any kind of trauma relating to social isolation this likely feels Really Wrong and activates danger signals. but both fortunately and unfortunately it’s just how becoming close to new people works most of the time

[caydencrypted]

another thing that was not intuitive to me as someone who grew up an autistic loner: basically everyone on the planet is starved for connection all the time and almost everything people do is an attempt to reach out to another. most seemingly illogical interactions and behaviours can be explained by this. you have to take as many of these invitations as you can. even if you're wrong you still attempted to bring more warmth into the world

[queermania]

i think before you marry someone, you should sit down and go through the AITA subreddit with them and see what their take on those situations is

[queermania]

does your potential future spouse think it's reasonable for their mother to be involved in your family planning? or to make comments about your body? do you? how does your future spouse feel about girls and/or boys nights? situations involving exes? cancelling trips last minute? under what circumstances do they think it's reasonable to host somebody in your home and for how long? etc.

and the goal of doing this isn't to agree one-hundred percent on every single thing. it's to understand how you both view obligations, family, friends, finances, conflict, etc. and to make sure that even if you don't have the exact same perspective, you can understand where the other person is coming from without feeling like they're a crazy person. you have to be able to come to reasonable compromises and sometimes that involves one person fully caving, and sometimes it involves the other person fully caving, and sometimes it's both of you giving a little, but you need to understand what things you both are and aren't willing to compromise on because those types of situations are going to come up in a marriage.

[queermania]

also, since this has turned into actual advice: you should talk through why you think what you think, even when you agree, because you might not be agreeing for the same reasons.

[loveridden1999]

doing things at the right age is literally a made up concept. you can start/pursue anything at any age. btw.

you don’t realize how important lunch is until you’re wandering around thinking about how unloveable and untalented and uniquely cursed you are and then it’s 4pm and you finally eat lunch and you go Oh. oh right.

[goldensunset]

idk who needs to hear this but if you have been putting something off bc it doesn't need to be done until the end of the month. we are almost done with the teens we are approaching the big numbers (the twenties). that date shall dawn upon you swiftly and without mercy before you know it. psa for everyone except me i got plany off time

[aidashakur]

Emotional safety is so important to me when I’m with someone. Should be no reason my nervous system is on edge every time I’m around you.

[maxxie-or-smth]

you've met me at a very "yeah i'm trying to work on that" time in my life

[writing-prompt-s]

Your small, otherwise unimpressive, kingdom is suddenly one of the strongest powers in the land. This is due to the sole reason that, unlike other rulers, you’re happy to work with the local orcs, goblins, dragons, and several other races that are usually attacked on sight.

[abronzeagegod]

“The first rule of diplomacy,” you say, “is really quite easy. Just be honest and kind.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, that’s it. The orcs that everyone complains about all the time, the roving bands that attack and are so viscous?”

“How did you deal with them? They’ve repelled the Golden Armies of Paladramus!”

You shrug. “I asked their leader what they wanted, we drank a couple of pints of truly hideous orc mead, and I gave them seven hundred acres of land.”

“What? That is almost a fifth of the total land of your kingdom!”

Again, you shrug. “Yeah but it’s largely that barren dessert up north. We weren’t using it, the orcs really wanted it. Apparently they’re almost like lizards and love sunning themselves on hot rocks so the dessert is actually perfect for them.”

“Really? That was it?”

“I mean we have some more complicated trade deals. Water, crops and such in exchange for some stuff you can only really get out of the dessert. There’s a mine over there and most important our northern border is that expansionist jackass.”

“The Golden Army!”

“Yeah ever since Grammark beat the crap out of them a couple years back they don’t want to have anything to do with the orcs. And we’re buddies now so it works out for everyone I think.”

don’t forget that it’s your life. it’s not school’s life, it’s not work’s life, it’s not your family or your partner’s life—it’s perpetually your life, for better or worse. what do you want from this life? forget happy, what motivates you to live? why are you here?

You can replace [ACTIVITY YOU ENJOY] with [SCROLLING] but watch out. This sucks bad 👍

[nat-20s]

Some things about this post since getting quite a few notes:

1. If you see this post, highly recommend taking it as an opportunity to set a timer for 15 minutes and switch over to ACTIVITY YOU ENJOY. if after those 15 minutes, you want to go back to scrolling, that's okay!

2. Huge shout out to this popping up in my notifs often, bc I do go back to activity.

3. I think there are times where scrolling is fine. Right now, for example, I'm being connected to a machine for two hours to donate plasma and platelets. Yes this is a brag but it is also a time where scrolling is one of the few things I can do. (Though I will probably also read or watch something on phone lol)
