Eat My Dust Moo Deng

I am once again enamored with the idea of simple domesticity, so here are some ideas/prompts that y'all are also welcome to use <333

Coming up behind A while they cook/clean/whatever and B wrapping their arms around them

Brushing/braiding/fixing their hair as they read a book aloud

Adjusting their clothes

Laid out on the couch together, watching something or reading, just generally close but not necessarily focused on one another

A can't find something they're looking for. They call out to B for help and B comes around the corner with it, kissing A on the cheek as they say where it was

A cuts their finger. B sits them on the toilet lid as they clean it and bandage it, and press a kiss over it. (Bonus is A asks "Will I live, doc?" Extra bonus if B teases them about needing to amputate it before the infection spreads)

Teaching the other something they know really well, like cooking, sewing, how to fold a shirt, etc

B has to get up and get ready for work, but A just pulls them closer for cuddles

Sitting on opposite ends of the couch but A has their feet in B's lap and B massages them, especially if A has to walk around a lot

One of them starts to get up when the baby starts crying, but the other stops them and gets up instead. Bonus if they don't return and are found fast asleep in a chair with baby on their chest

Singing and dancing around together

A remembering after B gets back from the store that they needed something, but B noticed they were out and already grabbed it

Feeding each other bites

Celebrating their different cultures together

A falls asleep on the couch. B tucks them in or squeezes onto the couch with them for the night

A napping on the couch when B is in the living room because they feel safer with B there

Running baths for each other

Having "bath dates" where they take a bath together with glasses of wine on the side

Folding laundry together

Having a unique way to find each other if they get separated in a store (whistle, Marco Polo, etc)

Surprising each other with flowers or knickknacks for no reason

Going to a toy store together when they don't have kids just to play with the displays and make fun of crappy new toys

Having a specific routine to going to bed, specifically how they say goodnight (Kissing foreheads, kissing a finger and pressing it to their lips/nose, etc)

Unique ways of saying "I love you", especially if one has a hard time saying it (tapping them, holding their hand, alternate phrases like "I like you a lot")

This went on way longer than I thought it would. Feel free to add any more you can think of or ask for clarification if I explained something poorly :)

LOUD REPOST

Speaking of fancasts since I saw your post with that HTTYD fancast that’s terribly generic: I saw this viral collage of Taylor Zakhar Perez and Sabrina Carpenter as Flynn and Rapunzel and as someone who witnessed the entire discourse of Avantika getting racially motivated harassment from a fancast, it’s really suspicious to me that TZP, a brown skinned Latino man is an okay fancast for Flynn but not a brown skinned Indian woman 🤨

We can't let a brown actress play a princess but are totally okay with casting a brown actor to play a thief.

This brings back when these designs of Flynn were considered before getting the one we got and were criticized because of the "romani bandit" stereotype.

The "Rapunzel is german" argument is mute because they wanted non german actors to play the character. Most of Disney's fairy tale films all take place in a vaguely medieval setting that in the Little Mermaid, Eric's kingdom takes place in a tropical setting as shown by palm trees in the background, indicating a tropical European location like somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea yet people think it takes place in Denmark because the original fairy tale was written by a Danish closeted author.

Rapunzel wasn't even blonde, she's a natural brunet who turned blonde because of the flower's magic. The casting of a brown actress to play Rapunzel would be fine since she would still be blonde either dying or wigs because that's the character's signature trait.

I genuinely care very little of the live action Tangled at the moment since it's just announced with the guy who made Greatest Showman to direct and that casting hasn't been done yet.

But if Disney were to commit to an Indian take on Rapunzel, make the cast and setting Indian. A minor gripe I had with the live action Aladdin is that they could've went full Bollywood but didn't, so might as well make Tangled into a fantastical film.

While we at it, why not cast Flynn as a woman just to spite the red pill chokers? Fem Flynn taking on a male thief persona to hide her identity would be a unique take for the character.

Everyone pick up your government-assigned fursona, grab your two colors then combine it with this random animal picker. Tell us what you get and no rerolls, I don't make the rules.

She’s in the zone.

Inspired by this post

this is my favorite piece at the Art Institute of Chicago, a museum I frequent often.

this makes my blood boil. what the actual fuck.

the david zwirner gallery and the felix gonzalez torres foundation in the smithsonian removed the descriptive plaque for portrait of ross in la by felix gonzalez-torres. the old plaque explained portrait for ross' origins as the artist's partner's aids related death, and replaced it with a plaque with absolutely no information about the piece itself, who ross was, or who gonzalez-torres was either. portrait of ross was also reeranged to lay on the floor long ways instead of in a pile as it typically is situated, and the plaque outside the exhibition FOR GONZALEZ-TORRES omits his sexuality, as well as his aids related death. i'm in utter disbelief
