[britishtea-again-deactivated202]

this genuinely pisses me off

I get some people in this world are homophobic but do they really have to go this far but disrespecting their rights? OUR AMERICAN DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE STATES, FUCKING STATES, that EVERY yes EVERY SINGLE PERSON STANDING ON AMERICAN SOIL, must be treated with equality, additionally being provided with inalienable rights. This applies to trans people too. They are human, not an object to be throwing and putting labels on.

Why do the conservatives have to deny every queer thing? Like come fucking on, I get it that majority of you are respecting your religion but do you know the phrase “be yourself?” If a person isnt what they believe they are, let them modify into someone they think is them. God fucking dammit give me a break

please please please at least reblog this even if you don't live in the us!! i am so fucking pissed that this is happening as a trans teen. not only will it make it harder to be accepted in my red state of texas, it will put a target on my head even if my parents give permission for me to be marked as male. genuinely fuck the government.

@hashediedyet pls make a post abt this if you can 🩵

[stankycheez]

this is so disgusting to me, thank you for the tag rau

a key element of a fascist government is scapegoating off of stigmatized groups. we see this in the fucking nazi rule of germany if that gives you ANY KIND OF AN INDICATION OF HOW SERIOUS THIS IS

similarly to this law that we see being voted on, the nazis in control of germany installed many, MANY laws to limit the rights of jewish people, most infamously the nuremberg laws. these laws reduced the humanity and dignity of innocent jewish people living in germany.

sound fucking familiar? think about it for a second before you act in favor of these laws

supporting this act is directly in support of a fascist government who is actively targeting trans children

@evesnapdragon @chqoswood

[chqoswood]

this is absolutely horrifying. even if you don’t live in the us, please please please spread the word. trans people are people too.

this new rule is so stupid and disgusting- passing this new law will only cause an even higher amount of harm to the community.

Something different than Outlast. Yes, I haven't forgotten about this man, fear not — and I'm bringing him back by showing my OC x canon that spent too much time writing and developing.

I was too shy to show it earlier here. I grew some balls, thanks to Outlast fixation.

It is actually terrifying how I can sit down to write a "unique" scene, open Tumblr, and see three other people posting about the exact same trope in the last hour

​Who is coordinating this? Is there a schedule? Mom said it was my turn with the brain cell

[nondelphic]

you say "that sentence is grammatically incorrect" i say "it sounds like the internal monologue of a man unraveling in a fluorescent-lit hallway and that’s the point"

How to Write a Manipulator (+ Types of Manipulators )

Manipulative characters aren’t just “evil and smart.” The best ones don’t look like villains at all.

They feel helpful. Reasonable. Charming. They make other characters doubt themselves and sometimes the reader too.

Here’s how to write them so they feel unsettling instead of cartoonish.

1. Manipulators Don’t Force, They Nudge

A good manipulator rarely gives direct orders. They plant ideas and let other people think they came up with them.

They say things like:

“I just thought you should know…”

“You’re free to decide, of course.”

“I’d never tell you what to do.”

If your character is openly controlling, they’re not manipulating — they’re dominating.

2. They Know Exactly What Someone Wants

Manipulators are observant. They notice insecurities, unmet needs, guilt, fear, and ambition.

They don’t attack weaknesses. They offer relief from them.

This is why people stay loyal to them long after they should’ve left.

3. They Always Have Plausible Deniability

The scariest manipulators can always say: “I didn’t mean it like that.” “You’re reading too much into it.” “I was only trying to help.”

They never leave clear fingerprints on their damage.

4. Manipulation Feels Like Safety at First

At the beginning, being around them feels good.

Someone finally understands you

Someone has answers

Someone makes decisions easier

Only later does the character realize how much control they’ve lost.

Types of Manipulators ↓

The Savior

Makes others dependent by always “rescuing” them. If you can’t survive without them, they’ve already won.

“What would you do without me?”

The Gaslighter

Twists reality until the victim doubts their own memory and emotions. They don’t argue facts — they rewrite them.

“That never happened.” “You’re being dramatic.”

The Guilt-Dealer

Weaponizes kindness and sacrifice. Everything they do comes with invisible strings.

“After everything I’ve done for you…”

The Puppet Master

Rarely acts directly. Moves people into conflict, then watches from a safe distance.

They don’t need power — they create it.

The Victim

Uses vulnerability as a shield. Any confrontation becomes cruelty.

“I guess I’m just a terrible person then.”

The Charmer

Wins loyalty through affection, humor, and attention. By the time people notice the manipulation, they’re already emotionally attached.

The Moral Authority

Frames control as “what’s right.” Disagreeing with them feels like being unethical or selfish.

“I’m just doing what’s best for everyone.”

Final Tip . ˖ ꒰𑁬 ♡ ໒꒱ ˖ .

Manipulators don’t think they’re villains. They think they’re necessary.

writing is so fun until you run out of pre-planned plot and you stand at the precipice and slowly realise that you never really had a plot in the first place

HOW TO SHOW FEVER / NAUSEA IN WRITING

“They felt sick.” — Vague. “They threw up.” — Sometimes, but not always.

Illness isn’t a switch you flip. Fever and nausea creep, spike, ebb, lie to you, then come back worse. They live in the body first, and that’s where your writing should live too.

Below, I've written a lil' cheat sheet for you. Reblog so you can come back later.

THE BODY LANGUAGE OF FEVER & NAUSEA

Skin & Temperature

Skin alternates between clammy and burning

Deep internal warmth

Sudden chills while sweating

Clothes feel wrong, either too heavy, too tight, too warm, not warm enough, etc.

Goosebumps even in a warm room

Face flushed, ears hot, neck damp

Head & Senses

Head feels pressurized or stuffed with cotton

Eyes ache when moving

Nose stuffed (on either one side, or both)

Ears ringing or deaf on one side

Lights are too bright/sharp

Sounds blur together

Food smells gross

Room feels tilted or surreal

Focus slips mid-thought

Food/water has an aftertaste

Stomach & Core

Nausea that comes in waves

Swallowing feels deliberate, effortful

Dry swallowing, dry throat—dry everything

Saliva thickens or pools suddenly

Abdomen tightens

Hunger exists but is nauseating at the same time

Body curls inward without thinking

Mouth & Throat

Tongue feels coated

Taste turns metallic, bitter, or flat

Lips dry; licking them doesn’t help

Gag reflex hair-trigger sensitive

Breathing through the mouth makes it worse

Movement & Posture

Barely any movement

Sitting becomes slouching, then curling

Standing too fast triggers instant nausea/dizziness

Hands brace on thighs, counters, walls

Feet shuffle; balance checked constantly

Body seeks cold surfaces or firm pressure

Voice & Speech

Voice dulls or drops in volume (due to plugged nose and raspy throat)

Words come slower

Sentences trail off unfinished

Irritation spikes easily (even if people are being nice)

Delayed responses

Apologies come out automatically (“Sorry. Sorry.”)

NOT ALL “SICK” FEELS THE SAME

Fever (infection-based):

Comes with chills + heat

Mental fog, slowed reaction time

Body aches feel deep, joint-based

Thirst increases, appetite drops

Sleep is restless, sweaty, unrefreshing

Colds / Flu:

More head pressure, sinus heaviness

Heavy cough, sore throat

Heavy fatigue

Fever may be mild or absent (especially colds)

Chronic Illness Flares:

Pain is familiar but still intense

Less panic, more resigned

Symptoms stack (fatigue + nausea + pain)

Character may ration movement and speech

Recovery expectations are lower

Menstrual Cramps:

Pain pulses rhythmically

Heat helps

Nausea tied to motion and smell

Sensitive emotions (more prone to snapping, saying things they regret)

Body feels heavy

Stress-Induced Nausea:

No fever, no chills

Jaw tension, shallow breathing

Nausea spikes during stillness

Relief when distracted or moving

These differences matter. They change how a character reacts, not just how they feel.

So yeah, hope that helps. You don't need vomiting on the page every time. Sometimes being sick is feeling off-key, or sometimes it's quiet recovery. It varies. The symptoms are one part of your story, the rest is up to characterization and plot. Why is illness relevant to your story? Why is this character sick, and how is it different from another character? You can have a lot of fun with this.

Written by a human with a headache and too much experience lying very still, hoping it passes. If you liked this post, buy me a coffee... or cough medicine. 😔
