"Just A Peek?"

SOKABINERS!!! WAKE UP!!! On my birthday I was surprised by the darling @timetodiverge with a wonderful present - a commission by an artist whose work I've fangirled over for ages: @somewillwin

Here's the final result! Capturing a favourite moment in my WIP, Reach Out and Feel Me, Chapter 26 - The Messenger

THANK YOU SO MUCH BOTH YOU LOVELIES!!! I utterly adore this.

SOKABINE BLOG IS BACK YAYYYY 🎉🎉🎉🥂❤️🩷❤️

YES, WE ARE BACK!!!!

For those not following, this account has been MIA for the last five days due to Tumblr suspending it. Apparently someone attempted to get it taken down by reporting it as a 'spam' blog. Look, Sokabine is not for everyone, and that is perfectly fine and valid. But instead of stepping on other people's fun, if you don't want to see this blog and its posts, just block it from your own account and hide Sokabine from your tags list. You don't need to go around being the hateful fun-police simply because *you* have a problem with the ship.

Anyway, after @armoralor going into bat for us with Tumblr, they finally reversed their silly decision. SO NOW ONTO MORE SOKABINE LOVE!!!

This quote will live in my mind rent-free forevermore. 💜💙🤍

I was literally just thinking the same thing re: so much amazingly hottttt wolfwren art dropping today (and this week). What's put all the wolfwreners in such a frisky mood lately 😂😂😂.

Something is in the water- I don’t know what’s caused it but I would like to thank the sapphic gods for the blessings. February 25 is now a national Wolfwren holiday 🐺🗡️❤️

Please tell us more about how your wife tricked you into dating her

So, setup, details all under cut, cuz it's a bit lengthy. Fun story though!

Tumblr circa 2015. Junior year of high school. I've convinced myself that dating is NOT for me, and that I should just wait until college to fuck around and find out. Just gone through a nasty little emotional breakup where in the near future, I'll wish that thar 2nd ever relationship was simply, entirely expunged from my life.

Paige, known as benedict-cutiebatch here, makes a post about being bored and wanting asks sent her way. Send your best pickup line. This was back when people sent eachother asks willy-nilly. I think, "Oh, sure, I've seen this person around, she seems alright. I'll send something funny and stupid, maybe make her laugh."

Send the "hot leg, hot hot leg" poem thing. She is so amused by it, she asks for my hand in marriage. Yaddayaddayadda, back and forth of just playing around pretend times. I have a lot of lighthearted fun. Cue the interaction ending, and us doing our separate things again. A week or so passes, and I've been specifically checking her blog. I don't do that with anybody else. This is a new habit I've picked up, because I loved the silly fake marriage tee hee haha joke.

Send an ask saying as such. She expresses similar sorta thing on her end. And we start talking again. Talking waaaayyy mooorree.

We talk fully through the night. No sleep. We talk fully through that next day. Eventually we exchange Skypes, because that's what everyone did in 2015. Flirting through the roof. Terribly blatant. Oml. But we're not dating, we're just. Completely all up in eachother. And I'm perfectly convinced that this girl probably just wants to enjoy the fun of somebody being bluntly into her, but not actually follow through further then that, and we'd just remain terribly forward friends with eachother, and that's how life goes sometimes.

Until I recieve an anon ask, that basically asks if me and her are dating and how c u t e we both seem to be, and I Assume that this is an unrelated third party, because, again. It was just waaay more common to recieve asks like that, back when I was a teenager. I respond to it all...

"L o l, naaahh.... b u t... It's not a Bad Idea.... 👀"

Anon sends another ask all... You should! You should try asking!

I think nothing of it, I take it as quite genuine advice that I do frankly agree with. And so. That's what my ass did. Asked Paige out in the most goofy, awkward way, after sending her screenshots of the anons, all "Haha, omgg, isn't this just sOoOoOo CrazyYyYy?? How Silly, hahaha.......... Unless.....?"

Fast forward like 2 years later into us being together, she's visiting me while I'm at college, we've Been seeing eachother, we've been having fun! So much fun!

She's sat on my lap while we're waiting on a ride back to my home, outside at a table and chairs; my ass fucking commuted. It's winter, and terribly cold in NY. I'm holding her close, and she starts saying something like... "Hey, you wanna hear something kinda fucked up...?"

I'm intrigued, of course, I'm like. Shoot, okay! I'm all ears.

Tells me that She was the one who sent those anons, and that she had a feeling I wouldn't Just Ask without being prompted. She, as she put it herself, lied to and tricked me. And she's clearly all broken up over it a bit, because she's sounding so hesitant as she tells me it.

I just sigh, hug her tighter, and I'm honest. Recalling best I can, I think it was something along the lines of...

"Thank goodness you did that, because you were totally right. I was too nervous otherwise, to just do that myself. And I would've kept on thinking you only wanted somebody to flirt with. I liked you too much. I didn't want to accidentally ruin anything between us."

Poor thing starts crying. So I just keep holding her, and telling her I love her, and that I'm r e a l l y not upset, after she says she was so worried that I would be, that I'd hate her, or think our relationship was built on a lie. I just see it as a perfectly reasonable thing to do, when someone too stuck in not doing the wrong thing, is too afraid to just ask for what she wants.

So yeah, basically, I got led into a relationship with a carrot and then a box slammed down around me, and I was completely chill with it the entire time. I truly was just having a blast.

As I’m excitedly tell people that my friend @timetodiverge is coming to visit from interstate for a month, I know when non-Tumblr/AO3 people ask how I know her, they won’t understand the situation.

So, we met in an online writing group. That’s the story.

Technically not a lie 🤣🤣🤣

This looks like an order Padawan Sabine Wren would happily comply with.

Sabine: "master, I need to go undercover in a strip club in order to save the galaxy"

Ahsoka:

Was I potentially inspired by my current crafting of a Sabine Wren burlesque cosplay?

Absolutely. 😁

Am I sorry?

Not in the slightest. 🤣

Ahsoka and Rafa the moment they get home from said strip club…⬇️

Which logically leads to the question, which Planeteer are you and which one did you have the hots for as a kid 😂. Cause baby Jess was verrrrryyyy into that blonde ponytail girl with the accent 🔥. But I was always more like the other nerdy girl who was into science and stuff

Oh baby-Femme was totally into the blondie too. Fuck nothing much has changed. But naturally, I was usually having to be one of the dudes when we played Captain Planet at lunchtime, being at an all-girls school and all. Explains a lot.
