Since I’m fairly certain we’re getting Viera next expansion, I doodled up some hairstyle concepts and hoping they’ll at least be adding something similar to anything above. *fingers crossed* ♥
First of all slow down a sec…and who’s saying your not good enough? Is this one of those things where I have to come down there and charm my way into someone else’s heart other than yours, because if someone else is talking that way about you. Well.. they’ve got some serious apologizing to do.
Even if that person that is talking bad about you, is you.
Babe, you’re graduating and that in itself is a huge step. It’s a lot to take on sure, but guess what, you’ve gotten this far, and to me that means you’re good enough.
Do this handsome guy a favor and never say that about yourself again, alright?
Secondly, it’ll all work out. You’ve got me watching your back after all, and I’m pretty sure it was you that once told me that with my brawn and your brains, we could do anything, right? That’s better, I felt your smile from here.
Hang in there Babe, next time I see ya, pizza’s on me.
I…am unsure of the words exactly to make you feel better, but I have heard that sharing things with someone is a good place to start. And…while I may not be able to exactly fix the problem, perhaps I can help you work through it?
I will say this about you however, if you have done it once, you can do it again.
There is nothing holding you back from getting to where you want to be other than yourself. And I have always watched you always move forward on your own, because you are strong enough to do so.
But, I will be happy to give you a little helpful push if you need one.
That is what friends are for after all, right?
Come find me anytime you need to talk, I am more than willing to listen.
When Anyone says it’s not possible to keep big cities clean I’m just show them this. Japan is one of the most densely populated countries don’t gimme that bs
Japan has a bunch of serious problems but there are also a lot of things they just do way better than the rest of the world.
Comes home exhausted and ends up falling asleep in the strangest of places. Face first in his microwave lasagna meal. Half-way off the couch with the remote in his hand. Has almost drowned in a bubble bath. Poor lil dude.
Reads in the bath and unfortunately has lost many of his favorites to the tub. You end up buying him an e-reader with a water-proof case just for this reason, and he STILL brings the whole damn paperback with him. So, it’s his fault.
Texts like an old man, and when anybody makes fun of him for it he’ll respond with: 😡
Types with one finger. It’s not even his pointer finger.
Drinks a lot of tea. Like, so much tea that he has a collection that takes up an entire section of his kitchen cabinets. He has one of those tea strainers that’s shaped like a cactuar.
Would do anything to save the bees and that’s just a fact.
When he was young he was taught that it’s best to sing a song in your head while you brush your teeth to make sure you’re doing it long enough, and guess what? He still does it.
Will genuinely try to give Ignis the Amicitia brand puppy dog eyes for fried food. (It totally works, too.)
Carries around little supplies like hair bows and bobby pins because he’s so used to his little sister whining and complaining that she’s lost hers.
Gives the best hugs bc he’s so beeg and warm. Is not afraid to hug you no matter what your mood is, and he’ll swing you around until you feel better and squeal for him to stop.
Is a little bit bow legged. (But you’ll only notice if you’re staring really hard.)
Is really good at hiding when he’s anxious about something. If he has a big, important event coming up, you’d never guess that it makes him kinda nervous until you walk in on him practicing talking and smiling to people in his bathroom mirror. He’s got big boots to fill.
Amazing at making up alternative curse words bc he got so used to doing it to save his sister’s innocent baby ears. REFUSES to swear in front of children and will bop you one in the arm if you do it.
I’m sorry ya’ll but this guy can’t really dance to save his life. The only thing he knows is the formal stuff he was taught, so please don’t ask him to freestyle or else. He WILL do the worm.
If he goes to the shop with you, he refuses to leave empty handed and will stay inside until he finds something. He doesn’t care, he will die in an establishment before he’s seen without a purchase.
Wrinkles his nose like a bunny when he’s frustrated or angry.
Has a small collection of silver belt charms. They’re all shaped like things he enjoys, or stuff that reminds him of people that are important to him.
Is such a heavy sleeper that one time you dropped an entire birthday cake on him and he didn’t wake up until after everyone stopped laughing and began to clean it up. His eyes squinted open and he muttered “Is this red velvet?”
Is so ready to eat ramen at any given moment that he keeps a pair of fold-away chopsticks in his back pocket. Also a seasoning packet. Also water purification tablets just in case he needs to use lake water or smthn.
This man gets compliments all of the time from all kinds of people. Hot? He knows. Sexy? Well, duh. Strong and beautiful and amazing? Hell yeah, Gladio thinks so too. Cute though? You’re gonna call him cute? He will not know what to do with himself. He will pop out of existence and only a tomato will be left in his place.
FFXV scenario, the reader gets really hurt but fights agaisnt any help that people try to give them until they pass out
A/N: This is my first writing for FFXV after the hiatus and I want to take it slow to get back to writing for the fandom. So if you do send more requests for it, I might not be inspired for them or get overwhelmed, but I’m open to slowly get back to it. Also, sorry this took so long to post and it might not be as good.
IGNIS
You gasped as
you clutched your injury, trying to hide it from the group even though you were
clearly hurt and bleeding a lot. Ignis was smarter than this, however, and
very observant, enough to realize what was going on before any of the others
did.
Walking a
little faster to catch up with you after the battle, he took you by the arm and
spoke lowly not to alarm the others.
My individual piece for @tierciel‘s Stand By Me lyric video project!
There were a lot of pieces that featured Noctis, so I decided to focus
on his buddies and what they did in their respective DLCs. I
still haven’t played Episode Prompto but shhhh I’m not ready to cry
yet
Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this, Yuan! ❤

Hello I’m coming back from depression and life issues to make a statement
Many phenomena–wars, plagues, sudden audits–have been advanced as evidence for the hidden hand of Satan in the affairs of Man, but whenever students of demonology get together the M25 London orbital motorway is generally agreed to be among the top contenders for Exhibit A.
Where they go wrong, of course, is in assuming that the wretched road is evil simply because of the incredible carnage and frustration it engenders every day.
In fact, very few people on the face of the planet know that the very shape of the M25 forms the sign odegra in the language of the Black Priesthood of Ancient Mu, and means “Hail the Great Beast, Devourer of Worlds.“ The thousands of motorists who daily fume their way around its serpentine lengths have the same effect as water on a prayer wheel, grinding out an endless fog of low-grade evil to pollute the metaphysical atmosphere for scores of miles around.
It was one of Crowley’s better achievements.

A/N: *checks the time* Am I late? AH! I’m not! *wiggles* So! Happy Birthday @thetrueenemyofhumanity ♥ I’m thinking you kinda knew that I had this planned for you when I asked specifically when your birthday was. And it’s not midnight were you are yet, so…I’m on time! X3
I hope you like it!
Characters: Jack Morrison/Soldier 76 x Reader Warnings: Cursing otherwise it’s all fluff. Wordcount: 882
Wrapping a blanket about your shoulders you made your way up to your favorite quiet spot on the roof. It was almost sunset, and you figured since no one was around, you could go up there and relax without worry about anyone finding you in a somewhat sour mood. Settling into where you could press your back against the small edge along the wall to watch, you sighed for what you swore had to have been at least the twentieth time.
Pulling your blanket a bit more tightly around yourself, you gently hugged your knees to your chest. Things like this seemed to always happen this way, and you wondered idly in the back of your mind, just what you had done recently that might have pissed karma off, on today of all days.
Today was your birthday, and somehow because of happenstance or whatever, it felt like karma had thrown you under the bus and you ended up alone. Family was off taking care of other family. Friends were busy with other things. And just…nothing seemed to work out in your favor.
It wasn’t the first time. It surely wouldn’t be the last. And you sighed again.
*checks my wristwatch* It’s been a good while since we’ve had some McSombra Angst™
Also, my apologies! This is been in my inbox for a while but I finally got some inspiration to write it. This goes along great with my headcanon that McCree kicks the bucket before Sombra, although, it wasn’t suppose to be so soon.
Bury Me Not
Characters/Pairing: McSombra.
Summary: McCree tells Sombra his last request.
Tags: Angst. Lots of angst. Unhappy Ending.
Warnings: Character Death. Blood.
A/N: Please listen to Bury Me Not On The Lone Prairie. It inspired this ficlet. My favorite version is by Colter Wall, but his version doesn’t contain the entire lyrics.
Red stains every surface. The harsh, last rays of the sun bleeds a neon across the ground, allowing shadows to stretch. The dark points try to grasp him, but he stays just out of reach.
The ground is cold. It seeps into his bones, chilling his already escaping heat. McCree breathes out in half a cough. He struggles to sit up. The effort makes a quiet groan rip through his throat before he lays back down. His hat is gone. It lays tilted, upside down, just a few inches away. The hand at his side, clawing into the dirt, twitches at the thought of grabbing it, but he never does.

People always gloss over how mentally damaging it can be to work in retail. I fucking hate that whenever I say “I could never work in retail again” someone has to reply “You snowflake millennials can’t take a starter job because you have to INTERACT with other people” No. Fuck you. I’ve worked as a planetarium host. I’ve worked as a public speaker. I’ve worked as a tutor and as a student teacher. I can work with people. I can work with crowds. Retail was fucking different. Retail was being treated as a subhuman. Retail was being treated so poorly that you have anxiety attacks before work. Having to work retail was a factor in my last suicide attempt. If I hear you say one fucking word about retail workers playing the victim I will personally break every bone in your body. Fuck You.
The holidays are coming up. Retail workers are going to be spiraling into a nightmare beyond human comprehension. If you’ve worked retail, you know this. If you haven’t, be aware of it. Please be kind to every retail worker you come across. Please be patient and understanding. It is misery out there.
It’s time to bring an end to the Rape Anthem Masquerading As Christmas Carol
Hi there! Former English nerd/teacher here. Also a big fan of jazz of the 30s and 40s.
So. Here’s the thing. Given a cursory glance and applying today’s worldview to the song, yes, you’re right, it absolutely *sounds* like a rape anthem.
BUT! Let’s look closer!
“Hey what’s in this drink” was a stock joke at the time, and the punchline was invariably that there’s actually pretty much nothing in the drink, not even a significant amount of alcohol.
See, this woman is staying late, unchaperoned, at a dude’s house. In the 1940’s, that’s the kind of thing Good Girls aren’t supposed to do — and she wants people to think she’s a good girl. The woman in the song says outright, multiple times, that what other people will think of her staying is what she’s really concerned about: “the neighbors might think,” “my maiden aunt’s mind is vicious,” “there’s bound to be talk tomorrow.” But she’s having a really good time, and she wants to stay, and so she is excusing her uncharacteristically bold behavior (either to the guy or to herself) by blaming it on the drink — unaware that the drink is actually really weak, maybe not even alcoholic at all. That’s the joke. That is the standard joke that’s going on when a woman in media from the early-to-mid 20th century says “hey, what’s in this drink?” It is not a joke about how she’s drunk and about to be raped. It’s a joke about how she’s perfectly sober and about to have awesome consensual sex and use the drink for plausible deniability because she’s living in a society where women aren’t supposed to have sexual agency.
Basically, the song only makes sense in the context of a society in which women are expected to reject men’s advances whether they actually want to or not, and therefore it’s normal and expected for a lady’s gentleman companion to pressure her despite her protests, because he knows she would have to say that whether or not she meant it, and if she really wants to stay she won’t be able to justify doing so unless he offers her an excuse other than “I’m staying because I want to.” (That’s the main theme of the man’s lines in the song, suggesting excuses she can use when people ask later why she spent the night at his house: it was so cold out, there were no cabs available, he simply insisted because he was concerned about my safety in such awful weather, it was perfectly innocent and definitely not about sex at all!) In this particular case, he’s pretty clearly right, because the woman has a voice, and she’s using it to give all the culturally-understood signals that she actually does want to stay but can’t say so. She states explicitly that she’s resisting because she’s supposed to, not because she wants to: “I ought to say no no no…” She states explicitly that she’s just putting up a token resistance so she’ll be able to claim later that she did what’s expected of a decent woman in this situation: “at least I’m gonna say that I tried.” And at the end of the song they’re singing together, in harmony, because they’re both on the same page and they have been all along.
So it’s not actually a song about rape – in fact it’s a song about a woman finding a way to exercise sexual agency in a patriarchal society designed to stop her from doing so. But it’s also, at the same time, one of the best illustrations of rape culture that pop culture has ever produced. It’s a song about a society where women aren’t allowed to say yes…which happens to mean it’s also a society where women don’t have a clear and unambiguous way to say no.
remember loves: context is everything. and personal opinion matters. If you still find this song to be a problem, that’s fine. But please don’t make it into something it’s not because it’s been stripped of cultural context.
This is actually really interesting. I’ve never known a lot of the background to this song.
I unironically love the Super Mario Bros movie starring Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo and not a single one of you motherfuckers can take that away from me.
If Lewis is anything like Rayman, I’d like to assume it’s not easy to pull off Lewis’s head. He’d make an adorably ghosty bobblehead, given that he doesn’t catch you.
I always wondered how Arthur and Lewis would act if Lewis ever rejoins the group. I imagine Lewis would forgive Arthur, but Arthur cannot even forgive himself, knowing he’s the reason Lewis is now a spirit. As a result, Arthur would be a nervous wreck in front of Lewis and is terrified of angering him.
Of course, Lewis would be worried and wants Arthur to be comfortable around him again, so he’d help Arthur regain his confidence one step at a time.
Some doodles I did last night! I need to stop doodling so much of Sir Daniel alfjdsg (I actually own that Jack Skellington goblet!). And the skeleghost at the bottom is not a MSA OC! He’s actually a Pokejinka of mine who also happens to be a fire ghost hehe. But I decided to draw him as a skeleghost ye.
So how about them Mevius Final Fantasy outfits, huh? Sketched this out during a small stream I had with my good friend, aidonwanadai! If you managed to catch it, you heard her and me joking around and acting like butts lol. She gave me the idea to draw Sir Daniel in this outfit and I couldn’t resist. I am trash hahahaflsdjg.
I’ll be streaming again later tonight and I’ll be drawing some Pokejinkas next. Catch ya on the next stream maybe!
Bonus (because we’ve all started there before lol)
