anonymous asked: WWII-era Japan would be disgusted and horrified by the porn currently coming out of Japan, so technically by jerking it to modern Japanese porn you’re sticking it to the war criminals twice.

bakerofmysteryroom​:

Lucy’s eyes lock on the cookies in Al’s hand.

So you have chosen death.

She reaches up and twisted one hand into his collar and then shoved the other against his waist, aiming to drag him down to her level as she gets up on her tip toes and bites the other part of the cookie right from his mouth.

In another situation, with another person, This might be very romantic! Buuuut right now Lucy was more focused on getting her cookie back from the thief than anything.

     Oh, she’s suddenly grabbed him! Al’s knee-jerk reaction is for his spine to stiffen and recoil away. It’s not as if people regularly grab each other out of the blue without malintent! A moment passes, and once he realizes he isn’t in any danger, his rigid body eases into her desired placement. Let her drag him down and bite the end of his cookie. He has his eyes on the prize, and now he’s in prime position.

      The man reaches over her shoulder and pulls in closer, as though giving her a big hug, but instead, he swipes the whole damn plate of sweets off the table with a smug smirk on his face. How the tables turn!

     He’ll give them back to her eventually, but for now, it’s fun to watch her huff and pout.

krakenofthedeepsea​:

It was dark and dusty in the attic. The only light coming from a small window near the top of the roof. It also smelled horrible. The girl walks over to a small corner farthest away from the entrance and she kneels down infront of a small form.

“Karsten?” She gently shakes it, moving a few dirty blankets aside revealing a small child with purple locks. “It’s me.. I brought help like I promised I would!” She gently brushes a few strands from his face, pulling him up into a embrace. She turns back to Alfendi. “Can you help him..?”

     The room is so musty that Al finds himself stifling a cough, and one look upward explains all. Wet rot. Everywhere. Water leaks through in the ceiling, running through the cracks and dripping into puddles that have formed on the ground. While he’s noting his surroundings, the little girl wanders off.

     Al’s breath hitches at the sight of the child. This was the last thing he wanted to find up here, in this smelling, dirty, disgusting, falling-apart, inhospitable place. 

      His brow furrows in unspoken wrath, directed only toward the parents. The parents, who had failed so miserably at the job they voluntarily accepted over ten times, leaving the children they created to fend for themselves like savages, creating a system where only the fittest survive within their own home. Al is nothing short of furious.

     Silently, the man lowers to his knee, hunching forward to match the little girl’s height.  ❝     Karsten, was it ? My name is Al, I’m here to help you .   ❞ He beckons the child with his fingers, telling him to come closer.  ❝    Come on, kid, let’s get you out of here .   ❞

why i think we need to all cut ourselves and our partners some slack about activity right now ( a list that no one asked for ),

for a great many people, life is starting to get back to “normal” except it’s not a familiar normal, and navigating the NEW normal is stressful, it’s taxing, it takes an emotional toll and for some it might take a physical toll, it’s okay if you don’t have the mental energy to be here and write / create / be active 

isolation is terrible for mental illness, for many of us who have been on the path to recovery and healing, isolation and a MASSIVE disruption of routine just threw a wrench into that path and we’re being set back and are trying to push forward again — it can be exhausting. rp shouldn’t be one more thing to beat yourself up over.

there might be people in your life, or in your partners’ lives, whose health has been directly impacted by covid. not all of these outcomes end with recovery. for some people it’s more than just frustration and restlessness, be gentle because you never know what they’re going through

outside of covid, there are still people who have lost loved ones, and who are trying to help loved ones who have pre-existing conditions and this has made the process of getting help and assistance and grieving loss infinitely harder

the entire world as it exists right now is essentially one large anxiety trigger, every country ( and in the US, every state ) is on a different stage of recovery, but none of us know what the end is going to look like or when it will come, this anxiety isn’t normal, it’s not something your body is used to dealing with and processing, even if this has been going on for months, you’re still going to have moments where it gets to you, that’s okay. give yourself time. be gentle with yourself.

a lot of people used tumblr as a safe haven, and with the update ( as trivial as it is ) that’s ANOTHER new change and adjustment to make and for many it might just be another straw on the camel’s back, sometimes complaining about something small and trivial is a lot easier than complaining about something you have zero control over 

writing takes energy. and time. and creativity. and right now a lot of your energy might be devoted to just navigating day to day, trying to focus on self care, your loved ones, picking your life back up, preparing for whatever the future might hold, and figuring out how to process this whole experience: writing is something that comes easy to a lot of us, and not being able to do it so freely can get frustrating, but it doesn’t mean you’re doing something wrong it just means you need to give yourself a little bit of a break.

people have kids, and families, and enormous life changes ( moving back from school, losing jobs, having to move in with parents, financial struggles, etc. ) going on 

i know i can only speak for myself, but i honestly don’t care if you’re not on as much anymore. or if when you are on you only write one reply instead of 7. i don’t care if your reply speed has gone down. i don’t care if it’s been months since you’ve replied. —- i am more concerned with you as a person than you as a writer and right now you should be prioritizing the things going on in your life and head. write when you have the energy to. this goes for more than just writing, but just cut yourself some slack.

PSA: You don’t need to apologize for being inactive.

If you have a lot of crazy stuff happening in your life, do not feel guilty over letting your activity drop while you deal with it.

You can post updates, sure. Your followers will appreciate knowing you haven’t vanished off the face of the earth. But none of them want you to plead for forgiveness and stress yourself out further with what’s usually self-inflicted guilt!

And anyone who expects you to rp during a hard time in your life is toxic and should be unfollowed, if not blocked, immediately. 

You are not there to write for their entertainment. You are a person. You have problems just as much as the rest of us, and that’s okay.

Whump+Found Family

When the weakest one gets injured, and they all hover around them like mama hens, desperately trying to take care of them.

When the STRONGEST one gets injured, and they all flail around, trying to figure out how to take care of the one who always takes care of them.

When one character doesn’t realize they’ve been accepted into the family/think of themselves as outsides, until they get hurt and everyone takes shifts watching over them and taking care of them.

The Revenge for hurting one of their family.

Group cuddles after horrible days, where they all just pile up together in front of the couch.

One taking punishment for the whole group.

“Who did this to you?”

The recovery room being packed too tightly with people who love the whumpee and are worried.

Working together to carry the injured one.

“Why did you save me?” “That’s what family does.”

When one of them loses their voice, and the others have to try to guess what they mean.

Crying together.

The whole group just wrecking havoc in order to rescue their kidnapped teammate.

     heya guys. i know i said i’d be here, but i’m not. i think i’m having a depressive episode, and i really dont have much inspiration to do... well, anything, really. i’m also pretty anxious to boot. i probably missed a dose or two of my meds earlier this week. so i’ll be taking a short break until i start feeling a bit better (probably a few days to a week) so i can provide you guys with the quality of content that you deserve over the quality that i’m able to produce right now. thanks for your understanding and patience.
