i think it is good to warn people in advance about the circumstances that will cause you to bite them and i think that having given that warning it is good to follow through when the time comes

the rattlesnake is an admirable creature whose virtues we should emulate

One time at dance some rando grabbed me by the waist and told me to dance with him and I told him “if you don’t let go I’m going to bite you” and he didn’t let go so I bit him and that really should be the end of the story but he thought that was funny so I turned around and gave him a donkey kick to the shins and took about a 4 inch strip of skin with me so what I learned that day is when one is without debilitating venom, one must be as a horse do

“be as a horse do” is my new favorite colloquialism.

If Lee and Gaara were to give each other first date trinkets, or maybe trinkets before they go back to their home villages, what do you think they would be?

sagemoderocklee:

I don’t really see Gaara as placing a lot of sentimentality in objects per say, but I do imagine that when he and Lee become involved that he starts to learn little things about romance and tries to learn what Lee likes. 

Personally, I like the idea that he’s always sending Lee flowering cactus and that he’s always careful about which cacti he sends or gives to Lee. He’s not particularly good at gift giving but Lee is always so happy with the cacti so he just sticks with it. Lee has an over abundance of them, obviously.

Sometimes I imagine Gaara sends Lee things related to like training or weapons. Like he’ll happen upon some special manual about some lost martial art or something while in some foreign country and be like “lee would like that” and Lee is literally beside himself over it. But overall Gaara doesn’t express his feelings with material things–not that it’s bad or anything, it’s just not his love language, so to speak. 

Lee, i always imagine is actually a minimalist in terms of his like personal space. He does place a lot of sentiment in certain things but it has to be Extremely Special for him to do that. Originally, Gaara had sent Lee a cactus in response to Lee sending Gaara a gift of forget-me-nots and roses after their first kiss. Like Lee fully knows Gaara loves gardening and has green houses and also is under the impression that Gaara knows flower language and went to Ino and would not leave her alone until she helped him pick out the perfect flowers for Gaara. She was actually happy to help but was also being stubborn because Lee wasn’t telling her WHO the flowers were for and she like wouldn’t help him even a tiny bit until he told her but he also made her swear on her honor as a shinobi that she wouldn’t tell anyone because it was all new and Lee wasn’t sure what Gaara wanted etc 

anyways forget-me-nots and flower language become like high key important to lee, and he’s always buying gaara little flower trinkets from his missions but he’s careful about which flowers he’ll actually send to suna because he knows that even in the green house if he sends the wrong thing it could be disastrous for the other flora and fauna in there, so instead of potentially sending like an invasive species or something, he just finds beautiful hand carved flowers and blown glass flowers and things like that. 

he also writes to gaara a lot and sometimes includes little tiny turtle origami in with his letters because just before he and gaara kissed for the first time gaara had said that lee’s mouth reminded him of a turtle, so lee’s little origami turtles are like him blowing a kiss to gaara which he fully had to explain to gaara because gaara was like “i already have one, why do you keep sending them” 

now he has a huge jar full of little origami turtles sitting on his desk at work

no one ever asks about it but a lot of people give it strange looks

my dad: a cryptid

-once woke me up by kicking my bed really hard until i looked at him and then locked eyes with me, drank an entire cup of coffee without breaking eye contact, and then silently left the room

-wordlessly stuck a picture of justin trudeau on my wall, left if there for three months, and then took it down without explaining himself

-walked into the house and said “is it gonna look funny?” and when i said “what?” he shook his finger at me and walked away

-once before bed came into my room and kissed my forehead, said “no homo,” and left

-once came into my room while brushing his teeth, stared at me for five minutes, gave me a thumbs up and left

-once got upset that there was no bench in a forever 21, said “they’re trying to punish us. for being hetero, probably.”

-almost fell out of a hammock while i was typing this

i went into the kitchen and my dad was eating crackers and he said “theres nothing to see here.”

me: i wanna go see ant-man

my dad: you can’t see him he’s too small

Does Gaara like kissing Lee? or holding his hand?

sagemoderocklee:

of course he does! i always imagine that Gaara is simultaneously touch-starved and gets easily overwhelmed by physical sensation due to the lack of physical contact he had growing up. i think he craved touching lee whether it’s casual or more direct, intentional, and intimate but he doesn’t always know how to articulate that or how to initiate it

lee is a generally physically affectionate person so he’s often casually touching gaara but sometimes i imagine gaara feels that ache like “it’s not enough” and just needs to like spend a
morning just wrapped up in lee

i imagine some part of him is always afraid that /this/ will be the last kiss, /this/ will be the last time their hands are entwined, /this/ will be the last caress—occupational hazard but also a product of deeply ingrained trauma. half of him feels like lee could die any time and the other half feels like lee will leave him, betray him, hate him so i think sometimes he also just feels like this overwhelming need to just touch for reassurance, for validation, for confirmation.

but again i think gaaras biggest challenge is expressing that and initiating those moments of quiet intimacy
