These Guys Are In My Backyard Year Round!

I'd seen 'This door is alarmed' with a post it note asking 'What startled it?' but not one including the surroundings before. Cute!

Saw this on a door at work.

If you go to the LaughingSquid site they have a clip of the heads in motion. Actually a bit creepy. But I still kinda want one.

Hello there. I saw you followed my writing tumblr and thought to check out yours. Very awesome, thought I'd share my opinion.

Thanks! I like yours too. Wonderfully dark. Perfectly suits some of my moods. If I ever reblog something you write and have matched it with a pic you find objectionable just let me know and I'll take it off. Vampire bunny kisses! 

This is pretty much exactly how I imagine the container city at the beginning of the book Ready Player One by Ernest Cline looks.

Hello, class. Today I would like to tell you why “Yasha” is not a good thing for you to call Bucky in fic while he is the Winter Soldier.

It’s not “James” in Russian. It’s not. “Yasha” is the diminutive of “Yakov,” which is obviously Jacob. And yes, I know they have the same Aramaic? (I think) root, but like, here’s the deal – neither I (immigrated from the former Soviet Union as a child) nor my parents (lived in the Soviet Union for a good chunk of their lives) have ever met anyone named Yasha who wasn’t Jewish.

Don’t come at me with some exception you found on the internet – it’s a name that carries strong signifiers of Eastern European Jewishness. And we all know how the Soviets felt about Eastern European Jews (in case you don’t know – hint: really fuckin’ not great). It’s really unlikely that they would give a name with those signifiers to their super-weapon, especially in order to give him a name that’s etymologically close to his given name. 

Now, what should you call him instead?

Happy Hanukkah, everyone, from these two jerks! I’m posting this a little early this year. Line art by the amazing Ro Stein & Ted Brandt, and colour art by @deecunniffe. 

I want to point out what a technical achievement this story is on the art side. There’s a real joy to creating a whole story in eight panels, but this? This is some magic. We introduce four new characters. In panel 5, SIX PEOPLE are talking. SIX. In the world of comics, that’s almost un-doable. 

Yet Ro and Ted arranged everything so the conversations flow and are sensibly grouped, all the “acting” is fantastic, and then Dee laid on top these beautiful, almost fairytale colours – look at the subtle work, the blush in Henry’s cheeks, Frank’s five o-clock shadow, the shine of the wine bottle’s glass surface, the light texturing in the backgrounds… and of course the snow! This is some first-class illustration work on an incredibly hard script. (I fear Ro and Ted always get me at my worst – my very formalist script for them in the 24 Panels anthology was no cakewalk either. (The problem is, they’re just so damn good at it… check out their work on the Image comic Crowded!)

As always, if you like what we do in Hells Kitchen Movie Club, consider donating a little to a veteran’s charity. 

(I also have a thriller novel I’m crowdfunding, please check it out, we are more than halfway there. The book is all written…)

This is the second picture I chose when my Master asked me to pick one that represented where I want to be in my submission to him in the future.

I know it seems a lot like the one I already choose and posted to represent where I am in my submission to him now, but for me it's not. Yes, the positions may be close, but that's about all. In the previous one there's not as much connection as in this one between them.

In this one, she's surrendering, he's whispering in her ear and whatever he's saying is really doing it for both of them. But in this one you can tell she's already surrendered completely to him and is EXACTLY where she wants to be by the blissed out look on her face. He could do anything to her and she'd be fine with it. Nothing really holding her in place except his hands and will. And his hands aren't really gripping her that tightly. Whatever he's saying to her is only sending her deeper into subspace and surrender further to him.

That's what I want. I want to look like that with my Master. 

Happy with whatever he might do to me and so confident in his mastery of me that I can let myself go that much. To trust myself to his keeping so completely. For his touch itself to put me into subspace, not have to work to get me there. 

Not that I want only the physical from him. (Of course I do!) I want more as well. I want to know that the things I do, how I conduct myself, things I say, what I wear and how I appear to others please him and make him happy to have others know I am his. (Well, even more than I please him now!) I'm not perfect and I'm sure I won't be, but I want him to make me into the best I can be for him. To become not only his submissive but his slave as well.

I want to be completely possessed so that I never feel the same submission for anyone else. For him to want me and want to keep me enough so that he wants to mark me as his possession so it can never be mistaken by anyone else. To know that I not only wear his collar but to carry his mark permanently on my body in some way. 

I dream about that both during the day and night and can only hope that one day it happens.

this is your gentle reminder to stop fighting against your adhd and instead structure your life around it

buy a pack of chapsticks and put one in the pocket of all of your coats and jackets because you always forget to bring one and chapped lips is sensory hell

leave important things where you can see them. if they go in a box or a drawer you will forget they exist

put any appointments or deadlines in your phone calendar As Soon As you get them. set a reminder for a week before, a day before, an hour before, as many as you need as often as you need them.

when that little voice in your head says “i dont need to write that down, ill remember it” that is the devil talking!!! write it down anyway!!

plan for down time. have a few hours at the end of every day to just do fun stuff like engage in your hyperfixations. even if you didnt get all of your work done that day, have the rest anyway. you probably spent the whole day beating yourself up for not doing what you Should be doing, so you still need the break.

if you never eat vegetables because its too much effort to chop and cook them, get the frozen or canned shit. it doesnt go off for ages and you just have to microwave it. theres no point buying fresh vegetables if they just keep going off and being left to rot in the bottom of your fridge

if you struggle to decide what to have for dinner every day, take the decision out of it. choose a set of meals and eat those on rotation until you get sick of them, then choose some new ones and do it again.

its not stupid if it works! our brains literally have a chemical deficiency. you are allowed to accommodate yourself. go forth and stop making your life more difficult than it has to be because “this shouldn’t be this hard”. it is hard, so make it easier.
