He's just a baby if 😭

I come from a culture that has no nudity taboo - nudity is not considered inherently sexual, or somehow traumatising to witness. What that means in practice is that there is a clearly drawn line between sexual and non-sexual nudity. There is nothing wrong or inappropriate about nudity in a sexual context, and nothing wrong or inappropriate about nudity in a non-sexual context. However, it is 100% inappropriate to be nude in a situation where it is not obvious from context whether this is sexual or not.

I've seen random kids who briefly escaped from their parents bolt across a public park buck-ass naked after they were playing in the water fountain and their parents were in the middle of changing their kid from wet clothes to dry clothes when the small nudist escaped. Changing your small kid's clothes right there in public is ok because there is obviously nothing sexual about a child whose clothes got wet. But although people will have baby pictures of their kids in the bath or just running around the house like that because sometimes little apes hate clothes for some reason, it's considered common sense to not share those pictures on facebook mom groups and such, because you have no way of knowing who's seeing them, and that blurs the line of context.

It all boils down to the clearly defined context. Bathing nude in the same sauna with five of your co-workers at the office christmas party? Clearly nonsexual, therefore completely fine. Your friend-with-benefits inviting you to come over and opening the door in nothing but a doggy collar and the most porn-scented perfume? Clearly sexual, therefore completely fine. A woman checking her breasts for lumps in the gym lockers just before or after a shower? Clearly non-sexual, therefore completely fine.

But if you went to the bank today and there's some guy who walks in and immediately strips naked, doing his banking business wearing nothing but a deep smile and being clearly very content with this situation, you have no way of telling whether he's getting kicks out of this or not. There is no contextual reason for him to be nude. Therefore, that is inappropriate.

Then you go home and post on tumblr - as one does - going like "there was some dude completely fucking buck-ass naked in the bank today. That was fucking weird and I wish he had not done that." And someone immediately swoops into inform you that actually nudity is not inherently sexual or inappropriate, and there are cultures out there that have no nudity taboo. It's not fair to call somebody a freak for something like that, maybe that guy was just finnish.

....sabrevine I fear

Boytoy but like he's a boy whom i toy with by cutting him open and studying him like a biology dissection project

Guys send me asks about Snufkin or Logan!! In the mood for yapping rn.

A horn blared and Shun very promptly noticed three things.

One, he was in the middle of the street.

Two, there was an SUV bearing down on him, the distance closing too rapidly to do anything about.

Lastly and by far the most inane of his observations was that a pair of birds were wheeling overhead through the sky.

‘Welp,’ Shun surprised himself with how utterly calm he felt in that instant, acceptance of his imminent fate delivering all anxiety from him. ‘This is going to suck.’

“SHUN!”

His mother was screaming. She sounded horrified, tear stricken, her voice reaching pitches he’d never heard it.

Shun closed his eyes.

A solid force hooked his entire body and seized him, flinging him forward like he’d just been slung by a massive elastic band and Shun squeaked in shock only to have the sound abruptly muffled by a solid chest wrapped in soft cotton.

He looked up only to see Saiki, pale and shaken as he held Shun firm. His eyes were round and his lips were white but within a couple of breaths the emotion was gone.

str8 up stole this from twilight btw. while im on the subject.

More of Feral Baby Logan AU:

I imagine that in the Kid Logan AU, Hank Mccoy takes the role of an almost Father figure.

It's a reciprocal relationship, with Logan enjoying someone who can handle his Feralness and primal attitudes. With him, he can (almost) go all out and have fun play fighting, (and being scruffed doesn't sting as much if the guys almost two feet taller than you and built like a brick shithouse), and he can even bite him and know it won't get infected!

It also provides an opportunity for growth in Hank. When he says anything demeaning about the more...Beastly side of himself, it indirectly affects Logan. He doesn't see how Logan's face falls whenever he does, when the Doctor equates acting animalistic to being Less Than or Worse Than humans and mutants. The boy never says anything, but Hank catches on after Wolverine stops behaving so wildly around him.

(Once, after saying something so demeaning about his animalistic tendencies that Logan takes off for weeks, he buys himself parenting books. They help.)

I also just think it would be funny if the reason behind his little 'kitty ear' hair is that he gets head pats and it flattens the top of his hair <3
