A lot of people around me are having kids and every day it becomes more apparent that hitting your children to punish them is insane because literally everything can be a horrible punishment in their eyes if you frame it as such.
Like, one family makes their toddler sit on the stairs for three minutes when he hits his brother or whatever. The stairs are well lit and he can see his family the whole time, he’s just not allowed to get up and leave the stairs or the timer starts over. He fucking hates it just because it’s framed as a punishment.
Another family use a baseball cap. It’s just a plain blue cap with nothing on it. When their toddler needs discipline he gets a timeout on a chair and has to put the cap on. When they’re out and about he just has to wear the cap but it gets the same reaction. Nobody around them can tell he’s being punished because it’s in no way an embarrassing cap, but HE knows and just the threat of having to wear it is enough.
And there isn’t the same contempt afterwards I’ve seen with kids whose parents hit them. One time the kid swung a stick at my dog, his mother immediately made him sit on the stairs, he screamed but stayed put, then he came over to my dog and gently said “Sorry Ellie” and went back to playing like nothing happened, but this time without swinging sticks at the nearby animals.
I'm a sucker for the idea that after Chuck is defeated and once Michael and Adam are reunited Michael just leans heavily into the protective trope, bordering on possessive.
Of course they have their initial rush of emotions when they first reunite but slowly about a week after everything is resolved Adam starts noticing that Michael insists that they don't leave the house which, yeah that's strange, but Michael never been one for interacting with any other human aside from Adam, so he shrugs it off.
But he also notices that Michael's been getting touchier lately, Michael's never really been big on physical touch and yet Adam finds that whenever he's making something in the kitchen Michael's always right there hugging him from behind. Or when they're watching something late at night on the couch, they no longer sit just next to each other like they usually would, now their cuddling in every cuddling position that was ever made. When Adam goes to bed, Michael joins him instead of his usual 'doing other things until Adam wakes up' thing. Now he crawls into bed with Adam and holds him tightly, as if he was afraid that if he let go then Adam would fall out of his grasp forever.
Adam hasn't felt this kind of warmth since he was a kid and would crawl into bed with his mother when he had a nightmare, so he accepts it and rolls over to hold onto Michael as well. Michael shifts and pulls Adam's legs up by the thigh and around his waist, willing to be even closer to his Adam. He wraps his arms all around the humans torso and tucks his face into Adams neck breathing in his pulse, knowing that he's alive and protected by Michael. As Adam falls into unconsciousness Michael opens his eyes to watch the man breath deep and slow breaths into the silence of the night. Adam looks so peaceful, so innocent and...so breakable. His mind wanders into thinking about loosing Adam again, having him be taken away somewhere Michael can't reach, having the skin of his flesh be tortured and filled with suffering pain when he shouldn't ever have to suffer, having him be killed
Without realizing, Michael tightens his grip around Adam.
Silently, Michael promises to never allow anyone, no matter how powerful, to take his Adam away ever again. He brushes the hairs that fall onto Adam's face back and places his lips on his forehead in a gentle kiss. How Michel wishes to keep him here like this, to bask in their shared love together until everything ends.
But alas, Adam does eventually have to wake up. That little job of his makes him so happy, and that's all Michael now wants, Adam's happiness.
Just had the experience of realizing everyone is not on tumblr.
Was in class and we had our laptops out but nobody was typing because the teacher was talking, but i was at the back so i decided to start scrolling through tumblr and decide to make a post. Then this girl next to me looks over after 2 minutes of me typing and asks what I'm writing and I respond "A head canon" like second nature and she dead-ass said "I don't know what that is. What is that?" 💀
Very Stylish, always keeps up to date with the latest fashion trends and tries his best to get Damar to wear some designer
Continuing with that line of thinking, he attends a lot of fashion shows, art galleries, concerts and really anything artsy. Small or big he's gonna be there to support the artists.
Sets up charity funds for struggling artists, musicians, designers etc. and uses his legal powers to meet his favourite performers and fanboy out
It’s the worst kept secret on Cardassia that Weyoun writes all of Damar’s diplomatic speeches for him
Pretty much always attends any formal or government dinner and practically drags a reluctant Damar along for the reason of “keeping the legate's good public image”
Damar relents and goes but only because he knows that it was technically his fault that the photo of them making out behind the bar at the last dinner blew up
Probably released his own makeup brand that probably bombed at some point
A PRO at dodging unwanted QNA questions, I mean it was literally his job since birth
On particularly stressful days for Damar, Weyoun will let him lie-down and use his soft fluffy tail as a head rest/pillow
Similarly, if Damar notices Weyoun overworking himself he’ll give him a scratch behind his ears which usually relaxes him pretty quickly
I’m begging everyone to go back and re-visit the s1e15 “If Wishes Were Horses” on ds9 because oh my god-
Julian’s whole part in the episode is his crush on Jadzia but there’s a scene early on at like 10 minutes where everyone’s imaginations come to life and the whole scene is with him and imaginary Jadzia waking him up and kissing him and I cannot listen to the way he’s whining and whimpering into the kiss without imagining a garashir situation swap where Garak’s the one who runs his hands through Julian’s hair and kisses him non-stop and being all seductive and eventually pulling Julian down onto the bed-
And then later the real Garak seeing the imaginary Garak and Julian being very flustered meanwhile he’s just a smug old lizard.
Weird thought but has anyone ever thought that Herbert West might relate a lot to Mrs Lovett from Sweeney Todd?
I mean I'm just re-listening to the musical soundtrack and specifically the 'Final Scene' song and just the whole beginning of her part of the song is her trying to gaslight Sweeney and manipulate him like Herbert does to Dan and then it just devolves into jealousy over the dead wife/girlfriend when Sweeney continues morning over the woman he first loved (Basically exactly what happened with Dan) And I mean Mrs Lovett's lines are literally:
Yes, I lied 'cos I loved you!
I'd be twice the wife she was!
I love you!
Could that thing have cared for you like me?
and if that's not Herbert's energy by Bride of Re-animator then idk what is.
Idea that once human movies and tv series becomes accessible to the rest of the universe they immediately have to get re-called and re-regulated by the federation.
Like, the Andorians thought they had sexy romance shows, but then the terrans come along and now you've got angry zhavey's, shreya's, charan's, and thavan's calling in concerned on what their teenagers are watching.
And this especially applies to horror movies, Klingon space gets access to some classics and figure they'll sit around and laugh at the silly human horror. Cut to one Texas Chainsaw Massacre marathon later and now some human captain's are reporting that the Klingons are looking at them weirdly, like they almost seem... nervous of them?
Same thing goes for when Vulcans begin to approach human crewmates to ask how they manage to keep their children away from "The animated blue kanine and the female pink sus scrofa domesticus?"
Ferenginar just has a flatout ban against any and all talent/contest shows. To win profit just for having a talent? For showing good teamwork? Without any cheating or lying? Disgraceful media. (Although they would appreciate the trick of adding a sob backstory to gain more sympathy votes)
NSFW Destiel Headcanon:
The first time they had sex Dean cried after he came. He got super embarrassed about it almost immediately after because he’s never reacted like that before, and Cas immediately thought he had done something wrong. Dean assured him it was just him being stupidly overwhelmed by emotions, yep nothing to worry about he definitely won’t ever do it again *wink wink* Cas will never tell him, but Dean looked very pretty with watery green eyes and a blushing face.
(If you have any fic recs that have this happening pls comment them) 👍
(On the same note if your writing any fics based on this idea pls link and credit them to me) 👍
Forever feeling insane at the fact that in the Re-animator comic Dan helps heal Herbert's wounds while he's shirtless and with Herbert lying down on the slab after fighting with rufus all the while they have silly little banter.
Dan is just overall more shirtless in the entire story; what I wouldn't give for this scene to be real, the movie deprived us and Herbert of seeing Dan's tits more often

Something I picked up on in 15x8 that I think is really cute, Michael didn’t see Lilith until the very last second, you can see just before the camera switches to Adam that Michael looks up startled because he recognises Lilith. So are you telling me that Michael, Archangel warrior who can sense wavelengths changing, was so focused on listening to Adam explain why he wants a little job that he didn’t notice when Lilith walked into the diner?
Watching Adam intently: <3 ❤️😍💐<3🌸🌼🎉 <3 🥰
Wait a minute, who dare interrupt our date???🤨🤨🤨
Not this bitch bffr 🙄
Bro was so down bad for his funky little human it’s embarrassing
I got this idea from a random fic I read somewhere, but I think it’s a really funny to imagine that in Star trek when humans describe things their pets do, their alien buddies just think that this is another human doing these things because they don’t know earth animals. And like honestly humans have done weirder.
