just some stuff

[inthehopeofopenhands]

been thinking of a hybrid au with sheep hybrid! Simon and fox hybrid! Grace, and how Eden probably stigmatized predator hybrids like crazy (got to protect the flock) which would make Simon even more skittish around Grace.

and then i realized i could make it a thousand times worse if i set it during the trip to Erid when Grace is starting to run low on food, bc Simon would assume that Grace saved him to eat him later

[offintothewilds]

( tw cannibalism ???? i guess. more like fear of cannibalism simon has spent a while freaking out wondering what grace wants with him why he saved him there has to be reason ppl have only ever used hi and then he finds out about the low food supplies and then it clicks into place simon's reaction would be starving himself pretty much like he figures he wont use up more of the food and he could probably last until erid and if there's no meat on his bones maybe grace won't be interested in eating him plus he's sick of killing and hurting people and practically even if he did kill grace and rocky and took over the ship what would even do? where would he go? stranded in the middle of nowhere in a universe he doesn't recognize grace btw is losing his mind wondering why simon isn't eating anymore and simon isn't talking theories range from reasonable (depression? trying to make himself smaller? trauma?) to the unhinged (maybe sheep hybrids need to be surrounded by grass to eat comfortably. maybe they need to grass in their diet to digest) grace did not live in a post-apocalyptic doomsday death cult tho so the actual reason never crosses his mind unintentionally ends up eating less too rocky is NOT HAPPY gets better when he figures out the taumoeba slurry bc simon will eat that but then grace feels weird and bad that he's eating actual food and simon is eating taumoeba switches to the taumoeba too rocky is even more upset why are we not eating perfectly good food)<op's tags

Simon's stretch marks

Grace will never stop talking

[ruensroad]

a modern Pygmalion

Grace's University has a new exhibit: an exquisite marble sculpture of a man. Sculptor: unknown. Name of piece: unknown. Late nights talking to the statue - named "Simon" lovingly by the staff - and a mix up with an ancient spell brings the statue to life where he promptly becomes Grace's problem.

[crackshipsandregret]

I like to think that Simon and Rocky's early friendship involves a lot of aggressive banter that usually ends in Simon punting Rocky across the Hail Mary. Rocky is a professional rage-baiter and Simon has a short temper. They appreciate using one another as a verbal/physical punching bag (Rocky hates it when his snarkiness goes too far and he makes Grace cry and Simon would rather throw himself back in the Iron Lung than accidentally let his anger out on Grace. So Rocky and Simon make this weird mutual agreement to just... Squabble out their bullshit)

Bonus: Rocky is pissed he can't get Simon back for all the punting while he's stuck in his xenonite ball. So, one of the first things Rocky does once he finishes making his xenonite suit is to dead-leg Simon from behind when he least expects it. This starts up another round of bickering as Rocky scampers off to give Grace a hug while Simon is still writhing on the floor spitting profanities

Shen twins but shen yuan does during their childhood but Ning Yingying acidentaly resurect him (by shear dumb luck and she wanted a little friend shaped shidi for little binghe) and has now smugeld him onto qing jing

Shen yuan is confused but the little protagonist is so CUTE

Little binghe would die for his new shidi

Ning Yingying is very proud of herself

And no one has ever seen shen Qingqiu face turn that color before when he sees his resurected little twin.

i'm literally the priest's favorite sacrificial lamb because i am so docile and sweet and i hold very still when they put the rope around my neck and i trot along so happily while they lead me to the altar and they do not even have to tie me down because i lie so very still and only bleat once or twice in my lovely lamb voice and when the knife comes down it cuts through me like butter and i offer no resistance and i bleed so prettily all over my new white wool and my guts all unspool like the most beautiful shining yarn and my eyes are animal and dumb and hold no accusation and every time i die i come right back as another little lamb because the priest loves me so so much and he always chooses me for the sacrifice every time and he always places one hand on my small and twitching nose to calm me while he lifts the knife and he doesn't do it for the other lambs only me because i'm his favorite

...sometimes you sit on a WIP for long enough that it loops back around to being relevant...

I’m sorry 😭😭😭 (i made this a while back)

I think that Shen Jiu should have brain fog. Him specifically, because it was caused by lack of food.

[red-garden]

It’s something that only Ning Yingying gets to know about him too. Ming Fan is kept at arms length, but when Shen Jiu knows he’ll need to cancel his lessons, he calls Ning Yingying to the bamboo house. She doesn’t really understand what’s going on with Shizun, but she knows to make sure Shen Jiu has all the things he needs for the day easily available so he doesn’t forget them. Sometimes she’ll even stay in and read to him so that he has some entertainment when he can’t focus on anything. Most important of her duties (aside from making sure Shizun eats something) is standing guard so Shizun can take a nap. Usually she practices guqin in the side room so he can hear her while he sleeps. Shizun always lets her slack off in class so she isn’t very good, but it makes it easier to identify her playing while he sleeps.

When Shen Yuan transmigrated and got little things wrong and forgot small details, Ning Yingying told herself it was just because of Shizun’s spells. Regardless of how eloquently he speaks or how many facts he can recall. It has to mean Shizun is just tired.

I actually love kinksters so much

[mxbutchtwink]

Learning from every source in your life that sex is disgusting and sinful, that you should be ashamed of your feelings, thoughts and desires and then having someone in a dog mask tell you, "No, it's all cool, actually," is mind-blowing lol

[vintageandroid]

In the comments seeing a lot of aces saying "Yeah I appreciate that kinksters are often accepting of ace people" and that is because there are many asexuals in kink! Sexual attraction or behavior is not essential to kink/BDSM.

My spouse and I are both a-spec kinksters who do a lot of Kinky Activities and exactly zero traditional genital-involving sex. I write about being nonsexual kinksters professionally as well.

[hoothalcyon]

"One funny thing: At most of the kink parties Selena went to, no one was doing anything that seemed to be sexual. People would say, 'I'm tying someone up, that's sex,' but much of the time it didn't seem to feel sexual and nobody could explain how this made sense. Was tying someone up really sex, or was it a rope and some trust? Selena didn't care about sex, but she did love rope, so it was unclear exactly what was happening here, and what she actually wanted.

Intimacy, it turns out. Selena cared about intimacy, and kink was a way for her to be intimate with others. Intimacy and sex are not the same. Intimacy can be in service of sex or sex can be in service of intimacy, or they can be completely separate..."

[keepin-it-trancey]

Oh my god-

I never thought of it that way

[tramtheram]

Kink is allowing folks a space to be weird and unconventional, its in that space that questions can be asked and explored in a way conventional space wouldn't normally allow.

there’s a thing I think about sometimes when I’m writing that I call ‘the rabies condition’

by which I mean: there are no contraindications to getting the rabies vaccine for post-exposure prophylaxis.

every other vaccine usually has a few contraindications like ‘don’t take this if you’re allergic to it’ or ‘if you’re pregnant discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor’ or ‘don’t give to children below age 6′ or something, but not the rabies vaccine. if you’ve been exposed to rabies, there is literally no medical reason that can justify not getting the rabies vaccine–you can be deadly allergic to literally every single ingredient and the correct decision is still to administer the vaccine, because if you don’t, you’re 100% guaranteed to die of rabies. even the life-threatening allergies are a step up in survival rate (especially since anaphylaxis is something that can be managed, even if there are risks associated with it)

which is to say, the rabies condition: if a character has been ‘exposed to rabies’, aka, in some impending absolute worst-case scenario, like the apocalypse or some death curse or the destruction of their entire city via demons or whatever, then that character has to take action and the consequences and risks no longer matter, because literally any other outcome would be better, and 1% chance of survival is still better than 0%. that doesn’t make those actions necessarily good, the same way that injecting yourself with something you know you’re deadly allergic not a good thing to do, but it’s still better than dying horrifically of rabies. desperate times and desperate measures etc

and then, after your character’s prevented some horrible thing by doing some almost equally bad thing, they should absolutely experience the consequences of those choices.

Elio is a Kevin Khaslana SP

You can see in the video Elio has the symbol of Aeons in his Eye, and that symbol is almost identical to the worldbearing symbol that Phainon has in his eyes.

Yeah I can see the Fanarts of Elio and Phainon

I just think Shang Qinghua should get so angry one time that he unconsciously overrides the System and unlocks Admin privileges and just deletes entire clans out of existance in the blink of an eye while going "writing you in was a mistake".

And I also think everyone who saw that refuses to ever talk about it, but they're all scared shitless of the tiny human by Mobei-jun's side now because they realize he's not just really smart and an amazing strategist, he's also a god and can kill them all in 0.5 seconds. And now they all think that Shang Qinghua is actually the one running the show and Mobei-jun is just, like, the face of the Northern kingdom only.

Shang Qinghua is utterly horrified when he snaps out of it and realizes what he's done (somehow??? He doesn't know wtf just happened) and how now everyone is terrified of him except for Mobei-jun who is just looking at him with heart in his eyes lmao

Thinking about how sinister the foster care system in Halo must be to require military service for release

[superintendent-b]

I think the issue of who to blame for the Spartans runs deeper than ONI or Halsey or any who participated. I think they were foreseeable when an orphan-to-soldier agency in the over-militarized UEG already exists with seemingly 0 opposition.

You’d think we’d get to see some outrage from insurrectionists, or MICKEY, over this. but again. they gotta be written as 1 dimensional bad guys.
