Some of us really need to be doing “Finish That Fanfic We Haven’t Updated in a Year November” 💀
Stop calling me out like this
I have come into possession of an ornithology book from the 1930's and they had such a way of describing birds back then, modern publishers of birding booking should take note! Here are some of the bangers.

A whump scenario where team is on a mission somewhere and leader falls very ill due to poison or something, but they still need to manage their team somehow. Leader knows that they shouldn't and so does everyone else, but they're juuuust okay enough to keep stumbling through, constantly wiping sweat from their forehead. I love when whumpee isn't fully down and out unconscious, but just on the brink :)
GOD i love this so much. "barely clinging on" is the most perfect state of being for a character, esp a leader. the team begging them to stay awake, promising that they can sleep just as soon as they do this one thing that only they can do. whumpee takes the shot (or whatever) and immediately collapses. the team experiences a flood of relief and worry all at the same time so intensely that it's overwhelming. GODDDD i love it so.

Like what else do you want. What's your standard for calling something magic.
It's a beautiful day and you are an Apocalypse Goose
Destroy enemies, play hockey... Same thing.

Tumblr is the only place with enough patience to suffer my minimum effort Pictionary-style self portrait of myself in my car long enough to get to the ducks. I can check analytics on other sites that show most people are clicking away before the ducks.
I always feel kind of sorry for really big tall guys because there’s a much higher need for awareness of your body language when you’re like 6’6” and 300 pounds. when you’re a close-talker at 5’9” it’s a little off-putting but when you’re a close-talker at 6’6” it can come off as looming.
ex firefighter guy came into work yesterday and pretty clearly wanted to Hang Out but had the unfortunate combination of an intense unsmiling affect and Every Possible Muscle so every time he had a question it was like
'They sure are standing next to each other' is perhaps the funniest thing i'll read today
A bird wanted to join the game.
