Stay a while and listen

Cool hands on your back. You shiver unconsciously. She notices, and rests her hands on your shoulders. It’s more comfortable.

You remember them arriving. You’d never really realised how SMALL humans were. Even when you were only six sweeps, they looked small and fragile. You’d wondered if the Derse siblings were oddly short in human terms. You’d asked once. You think that you embarrassed her. Or annoyed her. It was difficult to tell sometimes.

She’s moved away from you, searching through your clothing. She asks if you want the white one or the green one. You laugh lightly and tell her that white is fine.

Her brother had grown in a matter of weeks. ‘Growth spurts’, she called them. You thought the word sounded strange. He still didn’t look like a knight, all gangly limbs and poor coordination. Her growth had been more gradual, and to a lesser degree. He teased her about it endlessly. Then he bumped into door frames, so it was okay.

She’s behind you again, and she asks you if you’re sure. If you’re uncomfortable with her doing it, she can go. You shake your head. You want her here.

You’d grown shortly afterwards. Height first. Something got confused for Karkat, and you had to cut his hair for him on a near-daily basis. He still refused to mention it. He’s still angry about the fact that he’s the shortest of the trolls. You think Dave might actually be taller than him now, but he refuses to be in the same room with him long enough for you to check.

Her hands move around you, and you feel the first strip of fabric press against your skin. You let out a shaky breath you hadn’t realised you’d been holding.

When it had started, you hadn’t minded. You hadn’t liked it, necessarily, but you hadn’t hated it. But, soon, it was too much. You couldn’t look at yourself in the mirror. You couldn’t breathe. You hadn’t known what to do. None of the other trolls had any complaints about the changes they were going through.

She wraps it around again, pulling it tighter. You feel yourself relaxing for the first time in…too long.

She found you once. You’d been about to enter the ablution trap when you’d caught a glimpse of yourself in the mirror. When she arrived, you were curled up against the wall, hiding yourself. She hadn’t asked. Not immediately, at least. She just helped you to dress yourself. When you next tried to go for an ablution, the mirror had been taken down.

She carries on for a few minutes, and with every tug on the fabric you find yourself relaxing further. She occasionally asks if it’s alright. You just nod happily.

She hadn’t made you lie down on a couch. She said it gave the wrong impression, and that you should do whatever makes you comfortable. You ask her if that’s her greeting or her analysis. She says that it’s both.

She’s almost finished now. She tucks away the loose end of the fabric and you take a breath. It’s…a little odd, but not unpleasant.

She’d introduced you to something certain humans did. ‘Binding’, she called it. You told her it sounded useful, and she offered to help you to make something for it. You made a few. If you were going to wear something, you wanted it to be fashionable.

“How does it feel?” she asks, pulling her hands away. You just smile.

“Wonderful”

What if headcanon: So, in my headcanon, Kanaya has an almost-flat-chest but if she were to have a considerably big bosom she would wear a binder. And Rose (who introduced it to her), of course, would help her put it on. C:

(This piece also has a personal value to me. Damn you, feelings.)

Have I mentioned that I love the way you draw hair? And light? And interspecies lesbians?

I am afraid that you cannot have as much swag as me. I am simply the most dapper there is.

edit: Also, I have so much swag that half of the time I defy gravity and stand sideways. Apparently.

if this eggplant gets less than 5 million notes i’m going to be so upset

Reblogging because eggplant

Fewer than 5 million notes. Fewer. Not less. 

I believe that it is called an  aubergine. 

IN AMERICA WE LET EGGS BE PLANTS BECAUSE FREEDOM

In Britain we let those AUBERGINES live once we heal them with our FREE HEALTH CARE

NOBODY CARES, ENGLAND

at least America came up with their own word and didn’t steal ours

Argentina JUST PASSED a groundbreaking gender identity bill!!!

From now on, people will be able to change the name and gender on their ID without needing psychiatric permission or any body modifications. Furthermore, anyone who does want hormones or surgery will be able to access them for free through the public and private health system.

It was passed unanimously today by the Senate :-D

I missed this meme

I once saw my fundept friend force palm a Cerberus Trooper from the middle area buildings of Firebase Ghost. They landed perfectly through the window of the left side prefab.

Put simply, fundept is fun.
