#(There's 7 available total btw)

[sorreltail]

here’s my timeline, spanning from the autumn of 1997 when bluestar was born to the summer of 2004 when fire and ice ends. I love being autistic. It’s not complete.

it is mostly focusing on spottedleaf and mousefur’s lives and trying to figure out their timelines, because the “bluestar leadership pre-ITW” 2 year period is like a dumping ground of vague darkness where every single thunderclan historical event gets sent to die. sometime during that is when a bunch of warriors get disabled, renamed and sent to the elders den. that’s also when thistleclaw dies. I do not respect novella canon btw. those things r full of lies

one thing the timeline has revealed to me that i am very fond of is redtail and bluestar. he became a warrior at the same time as she became deputy, after a very short apprenticeship. he’s given mousefur as an apprentice almost instantly after becoming a warrior. he’s only like 6 months older than her and he’s only had 6 months of apprentice training and no warrior experience! but he does a good job. and clearly bluefur sees something in him. within the year she’s leader with him as her deputy. her right hand man :)

literally a month or two before rusty shows up is a massive plague that kills 7 cats total, including featherwhisker, so spottedleaf only becomes the sole medicine cat at this point. she receives what’s probably her first prophecy (fire alone) and then her brother gets murdered to death and she is dead too within six months. a short and crazy career for her and honestly no wonder she became obsessed with being like a spirit mentor to fireheart. can u imagine if u got the prophecy for the chosen one and then ur like oh boy i JUST got promoted to being the leader of the church around here and it’s my job to guide the chosen one? and then u get murdered. And ur like. Was that really my life’s work. it can’t be over. That was too important. anyway

my main 2 resources for this are the timeline on the warriors wiki, which has its own firestar-as-jesus style of dating … YBF=years before firestar . I love it. Then there’s kate carys timeline which sets Into The Wild into 2003, the year it was published. I love that too. It feels right. I merged those, so if you’re on the warriors wiki, 1YBF is 2002, 2YBF is 2001, etc . 1997 is 6YBF. 2004 is year 2. i supplemented the available info from the blog and wiki with my own research in the books. I favoured earlier and main series canon over later and novella canon, though super editions like bluestar’s prophecy and crookedstar’s promise took precedence over TPB where I felt the info made more sense. there are almost certainly fuckups. Some stuff I couldn’t find any canon mention of so I just put it where it logically would’ve had to go.

yeahhh so that’s basically that. it’s something ive got as a supplemental thing for my spottedmouse writing and drawing. Always working on it.

Kinktober day 7 - Stuck in wall

Pairing: Zoro x F!Reader Warnings: 18+, NSFW, MDNI, Smut, Stuck in wall, Oral, spanking. Summary: you were currently on the ship alone, right now you need to be alone. Away from your big crush Zoro- but when you get stuck in a hole in the wall, with no help around you to get free, guess who comes and catches you off guard? oh and yeah, youre btw naked x) A/N: Masterpost & links are pinned on my tumblr.

You were currently alone on the ship. The moon was shining through the window. Everyone was probobly drunk at a bar somewhere on the current island you were on, you didn't know. Honestly you just wanted to be alone. The waves were pretty hard even if the ship was docket. You had just finished working out and had thrown off your sweaty clothes when you were about to get dressed. You were currently in the girls' quarters all alone.

You tried to get dressed in peace, when you felt the ship wiggle adruptly and you fell through a whole in the wall. your arms were stuck inside the girls' quartes, but your head and shoulders were stuck in the hallway. You knew you needed help but not just by anyone. Nami would be the safest for sure, the last person you wanted to come inside was fucking Zoro. He was the main reason you were alone at the ship. You weren't sure if he knew, but Nami knew and thoose two- Well you hoped she wouldn't tell Zoro about your big crush but maybe it would slip out? Maybe she just said something about you, totally random excuse like why you didn't join them and it would click why My mood was different? Maybe he would come over? well, you were sure that wouldn't happen anytime soon cause you were sure he was clueless about your crush.

Anyway, Lately he would sit close to you and you felt like you were dying cause the way he smelled, when he leaned against you or laughed at a joke you said and playfully punched you, tickled you and made you laugh. Nami always noticed and gave you sympothetic looks as it felt too hard and you always made an excuse and left. Lately you just didn't want anything to do with him, it was too hard. He was too hot. Pretty much, yeah. He was too hot, figuratively and literally.

You sighed loudly as you started to get annoyed fast. "why?" you whined for yourself. You were just about to get dressed too, meaning you were completely naked. You sighed and tried to wiggle yourself out of the wall but to no avail. "Shit" you struggled to even move an inch. You tried to move your hands up against the whole, didnt work. Force, whining or crying didn't help. Well atleast Zoro is not here to make it worse-

You heard someone outside the hallway but couldn't see who it was "who’s there?" You said loudly, freaking out. No answer. "Wait, do not come in!" too late. You heard someone come inside the room, you started to freak out and tried to wiggle out when you heard someone talk.

"Y/n your'e here?" his voice made your entire body freeze and your heart started to really hurt. “I know you have been ignoring me” he said, automatically you felt too embarrassed and hurt to talk. “I couldn’t find you, then I heard a loud crash-“ and then he went quiet, you heard some shuffling around but couldn't tell what he was doing. "Zoro?" You said and blushed instantly, feeling like you were beginning to cry.

Ofcourse Zoro had to come in and see this, you were naked stuck in a fucking wall. It felt like he was always there when you made a fool out of yourself or not, just around you all the time. Making it hard to not be completly in love with him. "What are you doing?" he said in a weird voice you havent heard before. You sighed loudly "oh nothing, just you know" you cleared your throat "getting stuck and embarressing myself infront of you, the usual, what about you?" you said ironic.

You could hear him walk closer when you felt him touch your hips trying to help you out. A moan escaped your mouth instantly at the contact at his warm hands. He tried to push you twoards him as much as he could without hurting you, which was kinda Ironic. You felt your entire body vibrate through his hands. You couldn't help but to think about all the dirty things he could do to your body right now. You wanted him to touch you more, touch your core which was screaming for attention. "I cant help you without hurting you" he sighed silently.

Another wave hit the ship, causing him to push his buldge into your core. He inhaled deeply as he gripped tight around your hips, a light moan escaped your mouth, you felt your clit was in heaven. You bit hard on your lip and cursed under your breath. "Y/n, your pussy is so fucking wet" he stated, not moving away from your wet clit. You could hear a grunt escaping his mouth. Suddenly you felt him walk away. "Don’t leave" you mumbled, regretting talking instantly. You heard him place something on a chair, probobly his swords. "you don't want me to leave, huh?" He teased. You could tell he was studying your clit which made you not sure how to react but your body sure as hell did. Your body and your clit wanted him to come closer and touch you some more. "I think I know another way I can help" he said as he walked closer to your ass.

Suddenly you felt contact, his finger slipped inside of you straight to your g-spot, moving his finger in circles. "Yes” you hummed. He put another finger inside you, as you heard his fingers squelch. He pulled out his fingers. "don't stop" you said with a shaky voice. He put another finger inside you, thrusting on your g-spot. “You’re so wet, for me” he whispered into your clit. You spread your asscheeks more as you now knew he was litterally inches away from your clit. You hummed at his fingers squelched in and out.

He moved closer and tasted your clit from the top of your clit all the way to the bottom. You moaned as you felt your entire body vibrate. He pushed his tounge inside you as he put two fingers and moved them in circles on the top of your clit “you like my fingers, huh?” he said and spanked your ass with his hand before he went back to lick and suck your clit, while fingering you. “I love your fingers” you moaned, struggling to talk. he groaned, Then you felt him push three fingers inside you, “fuck” he said, you felt him standing close to you now as he thrusted his fingers hard into you. "zoro-" you hummed as he spanked you hard. “You’re ready for me now” he playfully took a bite at your asscheek. “Fuck y/n” You grunted at the bite. He then spanked you. His fingers slipped out of you. “You taste good” your eyes rolled behind your head as you spread your asscheek some more, trying to invite him in.

He walked off for a second, and you whined silently. You heard his pants fall down on the floor. Suddenly you felt the tip of his dick outside of your clit, causing your hips to automaticly thrust for more. He grunted at the sight, and pushed his big throbbing length inside you slowly. "fuck, You’re so beautiful” he mumbled as he started to thrust slowly into you, spanking you hard, "zor-" you moaned. He grabbed your hips hard as he started to fuck you harder. He huffed “your clit is so tight” he pulled his dick halfway out “you like me fucking you?” He asked as he slowly thrusted his dick inside you. “I love it” you revealed.

As if you said the magic words he began to thrust harder and began to pick up the pace. His dick was touching in all the right places, and going so fast, it felt like he was tickling your clit. Your wet clit was causing him to grip harder around your thighs. “Answer me loudly” he groaned and spanked your ass. “How bad do you love my dick,” he began, spanked your ass once more “tell me” he groaned and you felt his leg stand on something close to you making him stand more comfterable as he fucked you in a fast and hard pace. “I love your dick so bad~” you hummed as you felt closer to cum. “You love my dick, huh?” He grunted and began to thrust harder into you, like he was starving. “How bad do you want to cum on my dick?” He huffed as he felt he was close. “Please-” you moaned, "cum on my dick" he moaned as he moved his hand and started to touch your clit, moving it in circles. His thrust felt euphoric as you began to climax on his dick. “Good girl” he moaned "How bad do you want me to cum inside you" he panted as he began to slow down. The thought of his cum inside you made you even more horny- "so bad, please cum inside me Zoro" He groaned loudly at your answer "y/n" exhaled loudly as he climaxed inside you. “Fuck my cum is dripping outside of you” he grinned as he spanked your ass. "bye" he said abruptly and walked away.

You felt so frustrated, you were enjoying yourself like you haven't done in a really long time. He was litterally blowing your mind and he just left? asshole. He was gonna pay, you flexed your muscles as hard as you can and gripped hard around where you were stuck as you finally got out of the hole in the wall, with pure rage. You were too horny and angry to celebrate as you got out of the damn hole when you turned around looking for him, when you saw Zoro sitting naked in bed into the wall with a pillow behind him, stroking his shaft slowly. The nerve on this guy you thought to yourself. You couldn't help but to smirk at him "You know what? fuck you" you said as you walked over to him. "no" he was not giving you one reaction on his face, not one "fuck me" he said seriously.

Your heart started to thump as you walked over to him and straddled him, holding his cock as you put it in slowly, he was not breaking eyecontact. "I wanna see how good you can fuck me" Looking up into your eyes, with his shimmering beautiful eyes "shit" you hummed as his length was fully inside you. His head flew back as he began to breathe slow and deep. "fuck, you don't know how long I've wanted this" he said as he grabbed your neck and crashed his lips next to yours. You were in total shock but you couldn't stop smiling. "Good" You said, he looked into your eyes and you felt like took your breath away "me too" you kissed him deeply back while he was smiling at your answer.

You began to thrust hard down on his shaft as he couldn't help but kiss you everywhere, on your neck and slowly up twoards your ear and he stopped and whispered "fuck me harder" You felt your entire body build with electricity as you began to shake your ass up and down, your ass flew up and down hard on him as you watched him into his eyes, moaning his name. He gripped tight around your waist amazed of your hips.

You leaned in and held on his shoulders as you thrusted harder and harder, feeling euphoria strech around your entire body. Your breath was deep as you felt your orgasm coming on. "cum for me babe" he whispered, instantly as he said those words you felt orgasm coming strong. This made him grip tight around your hips and thrusted like a maniac into you, making your orgasm last longer, when you felt your orgasm coming to an end, He stopped thrusting so hard into you. "Y/n, I’m close" he panted, it was so hot seeing Zoro, clutch hard on your hips searching for release. "zor-" you moaned "cum in my mouth" you said and slipped out and moved down on the bed so you could taste his dick. You took in his length into your mouth as you bobbed your head, he grabbed your head hard and thrusted you down hard into his lap. He moaned as cum filled your throat. He grunted and thrusted as he filled you up. He let go of your head as you pulled him out of your mouth and swallowed. "good girl" he said fufilled with a half smile on his face.

His hand touched your chin, like a magnet you followed where he guided you and he kissed you deeply. You smiled and grabbed the pillow behind his back. “Come” you grinned and guided him down on the bed as you curled up next to him, his hand was curled from your shoulder around to your back. He held you tight as he grabbed the blanket and threw it over you both, as you fell asleep into his big arms.

Interview with Itoshi Rin (Blaze Battle)

Taken from Blue Lock mobile game "Blaze Battle". Currently, the game is only available in Japan. I haven't played the game yet but thankfully a fan is kind enough to upload Rin's interview on youtube. You can check them here!

There are 10 Q&As in total, most of them are information that has been revealed in Egoist Bible and canon sources.

1. Where are you from?

Up until junior high school I played for Kamakura United Junior Youth. If you play soccer, you've probably heard of it.

2. What is your favorite food?

Ochazuke. I won't even complain if it's sea bream ochazuke.

3. What is your favorite animal?

Owls. They have good eyes. They're cute I guess.

4. What is your favorite subject

Physical Education and Art. English? That's a must for a soccer player.

5. What subjects are you weak at?

Calligraphy is so damn pointless. If you want to copy something, just use a copier.

6. What is your motto?

"The field is a battlefield." That's what soccer is to me.

7. What do you do in your days off?

Immerse myself in horror. Whether by playing games or watching movies. Back in the day it was only soccer...

8. What is your favorite movie?

I've only watched horror movies in these past few years.

9. Who is the person you admire?

Are we talking about soccer players? or....

Sae? ...Bastard, do you want to get killed?

10. What made you start playing soccer?

...Listen up. Don't ever ask me stupid questions again. Ask again and I'll seriously crush you. I'm dead serious.

===================================================

My Notes.

Q1. Rin played for the junior youth (U-15) division of Kamakura United. Sae used to be the ace of this team, winning Japan Club Youth Championship (U-15) when he was only a first-year junior high school student. He was scouted by Re Al because of this. (Light Novel). On his last year of junior high school, Rin also lead his team and won the U-15 Championship. I think that's why Rin answered the question with a bit of sarcasm. His club was pretty famous.

Btw, here's the club name in Japanese: 鎌倉ユナイテッド・ジュニアユース

Q2. Ochazuke (or Chazuke) is a Japanese dish made by pouring green tea, dashi, or hot water over cooked rice. Rin loves the one with sea bream. In Episode Omotesando oneshot, Rin said Ochazuke with sea bream is his tranquilizer* (精神安定剤）and he needs to eat it at least twice a month.

*Tranquilizer/sedative: something used to reduce anxiety, fear, tension, and stress.

Q3. "Owls. I'm fascinated by them. I think it's their eyes." (Egoist Bible)

Q4. He's already fluent in English.

Q5. "I hate having to write exactly as I'm taught." (Egoist Bible)

Q6. 「フィールドは戦場」 "The field is a battlefield" is what Sae told him. (Ch. 124). His other motto mentioned in Egoist Bible 「ぬるい」 "tepid/lukewarm" , is also what Sae told him from the same chapter. and night.

Q7. His hobby: Feeling the "chills" from playing horror games and watching horror movies. (Egoist Bible).

Q8. The Shining is his favorite horror movie (Egoist Bible). They didn't state that in the game for a reason I think lol.

Q9. The interviewer guessed that the person he admired is Sae which pissed him off. He didn't even answer the question. Anyway, the soccer player he admires is David Beckham. Rin said "I respect his kick". (Egoist Bible).

Q10. The question is harmless but Rin refused to answer again. The person who introduced him to soccer was Sae and it seemed like Rin didn't want to mention him at all...

[tales-of-wocdes]

I’ll be honest, while it make make sense for the MC’s recovery, as an adult reader I’d be pretty uncomfortable reading about a child being put in diapers and/or soiling themself in detail. It’d be a huge turnoff for me and I don’t think I would continue to read. Just in general my personal preference as a reader is to lean away from anything that infantilizes the MC more. On one hand, I recognize that their circumstances would mean they’re not on a typical developmental pathway compared to other 7-8 year olds. On the other hand, I think your writing already does an excellent job of capturing that while still doing justice to the MC’s age. They feel like a traumatized 7-8 year old who’s immature and confused because of what happened to them, not a 3 year old, is what I’m saying. I guess just personally I think a diaper or pacifier would sort of ruin that characterization for me, I’d much rather prefer the MC to gain some agency by learning how to navigate the bathroom on their own via wheelchair or rely on more age-appropriate toys for comfort. That said, these are just all my own thoughts as a single reader. Obviously other readers disagree with these preferences, and ultimately I respect that it’s your choice as the author to have final say about what does/doesn’t go. My point isn’t to try to threaten you with a loss of readership— I just want to express my own perspective and ultimately it’s your choice to make! I am really invested in this story and quite enjoy your writing, so I also trust that you know what’s best for your work.

Thank you for these thoughts. I appreciate it. This is valuable feedback and info about reader preferences, even if it is just one person :D I have a feeling you are hardly alone here.

The long post queue allows me time to think, but I don't really go back and edit my answers which are the immediate thoughts most of the time :D That would take a lot of extra time. This however, I think I will let jump the queue because I did say I would get back to you all on this and I think it is better addressed earlier on. And for me it has been several days.

I am willing to consider all suggestions, and appreciate receiving them (at least so far :D) but ultimately it is up to me to decide what I believe to be appropriate or what fits. I retain the right to always change my mind and thoughts mature over time. And here, I agree with you. A pacifier or diapers is not something I see happening in the story, even as an optional extra. Why? Because as you said, MC is immature and very confused but 7-8 years old.

Something to fiddle with? Yes, that could happen. Some kind of chewing necklace? Perhaps. I have been googling and indeed such things are available for older children and even adults. Sensory necklaces/toys I think they are called. For example in the shape of just a tube, or something that look vaguely like a fang. Age appropriate toys? Absolutely. Cool magical toys? Even better. I would be happy to hear ideas about those.

A "gift" from a totally out of touch "grandpa" that thinks giving a child something like a magical suit of armor is a good thing? That gets confiscated by Havard due to property damage? Absolutely... I wonder if there is a way to write random events... I'll look into it. This is btw, something I came up with just now. It is not something I have planned.

A "bathroom arc"? No. After a brief bit of thinking, I don't really want to write it at all so I won't. And I have a feeling that many people would not like reading it if I did force myself to do that. A comment in passing about odd bathrooms are for MC? Sure, that sounds fine to me, but leaving the gritty grimy reality-checks for something else is probably better.

This is all basically flavor text, which is one of the better aspects of interactive fiction but does not need to have a significant effect on the plot :D I want to accommodate reader preferences and offer up a pretty good level of choice, but there is still an overall direction I want to go.

[sadie-bug345]

gang as condiments🤨

i’m fr bored asf AND on my way to dinner so this type shit is on my mind rn🤷‍♀️🧌

ponyboy:

bro just screams ranch lover

and he the type to always talk abt how much he looooves ranch

hes actually so real for liking ranch though

W condiment 7/10

johnny:

this one was harder cause i think johnny is so chill

like bro couldn’t care less what sauce packets you give him for his chicken sandwich

but he prefers ketchup

classic, normal, AND widely available so all boxes are checked🤗

6/10 cause sometimes ketchup is too basic (plus johnny the type to forget to shake the bottle😧)

sodapop:

fry sauce fs

if yall don’t know it, it’s mayo and ketchup mixed together

IT SOUNDS BAD HEAR ME OUT

just try it okay🙏🙏

when soda feels a little quirky he’ll add some sriracha sauce and chefs it up

soda the type to make any mundane thing fun

to the point where he makes the WILDEST food concoctions just for laughs

but it gets to the point where it’s still funny but highly concerning 😟

darry:

now i hate to say this but bro probably likes yellow mustard🫢

he’s not super adamant about telling people but the gang makes fun of him SM

he always snaps back tho w some classy older sibling comeback

side note, he the typa guy to say “let’s fire up the grill😀” when it’s fourth of july and they’re having burgers and hot dogs

no hate tho🫡

2/10 i can’t condone the constant use of mustard

dally:

bbq sauce lover

which i mean he’s so real for that

pretends to not give a shit but we know he does🙄

thinks he acts as lowk as johnny w shit like this but if he gets a sandwich from someplace that messed up his order he’ll throw a total fit

”you seein’ this johnny? blech they put mayo all over my burger ‘stead of barbecue or somethin’ decent…what a dump..”

johnnys like “mhm🙄” *not even paying attention*

”maaaan you see this crime against humanity? what is this, huh?”

twos like “and YOU know a lot about crimes don’cha dal?”

dally kicks two bit in the shins under the table

8/10

two-bit:

realistically he likes honey mustard type sauces or none at all

but to fw people he’ll combine sauces and it’s actually so foul

my friend will do this and mix together ketchup and ranch to call it “kranch” and i tried it cause yolo and its death oml

once two gets the sauce packets just run cause he’s bouta fuck that place up💀💀

3/10 only redeemed by his genuine taste in sauces

steve:

lowk didn’t know what to put for him so if there’s any steve lovers out there lmk what you guys think he’d like‼️

but he seems like the type to like most sauces but he puts an ungodly amount on his food💀

like every fry has gotta be totally covered in ranch or smth

def the type to double dip a chip btw😟

anyways 5/10 not really sure to think 🤨

ANYWAYS ilysm always and request hcs, imagines, anything or if you wanna talk my messages are open!!

[sweeteaacakes]

I opened my phone and found a game I pre-registered months ago! It's called "Tokyo Debunker"!

Have you guys seen those creepy ads of a video game that looked like pkmn rip-offs called "Evertal*le"? This is one of their game and the ad caught me so I went for it. I was expecting a pixel-game but, uh, well, it's not TT-TT)... They tend to make misleading ads but this? I got caught by this...

It's more like a VN... BUUUUT it didn't disappointment me in and it served surprisingly well too!

THE PREMISE

Supernatural cases in Tokyo alongside devilish ghouls and quirky cats!

At the prestigious Darkwick Academy, your untily classmates have sold their souls to demons in exchange for a wish... and you'll have to find a way to make them work together to solve supernatural cases all over Tokyo. If you get stuck, you can always turn Darkwick's clever cat familiars for their supports!

It's comes with variety of gameplay modes!

Facilities building where your classmates can work and allows you to interact with them or read a conversation of your other classmates;

It have an "investigation" which is an... auto-turn-based battle mode. You just have to brainwork with their skills and equipments;

As bonus, it have a rhythm game! It's pretty easy since it's linear and you have to tap to allow the cat to turn around. You get 3 tries and is available for later!;

It also have co-op kode but I haven't tried yet!

Now let's start with opening!

As you can see on the imagine above, there are seven characters with each different uniform! Each of them are the leader of each "Houses".

Dark Blue: Frostheim || Yellow: Vagastrom

Orange: Jabberwock (and they have an axolotl in their emblem!!! ♡♡♡) || Dark red: Sinostra

Lilac: Hotarubi || Violet: Obscuary || Green: Mortkraken

The game will make you choose "who will you save"? It have a total of 7 houses with minimum 2 to 4 members. With Frostheim the with 4 members and Mortkraken with only 2! Obscuary is a particular one since it only shows one of its member! Once chosen a house, you will choose a character who will appear in the prolouge.

Aaaaand, yeah. The houses will be mentioned few chapters later :3

I won't spoil much but I can say that despite how lighthearted this this game is later... it knows how to jumpscare :)

And we go with Chapter 1

!!!UNDER THE CUT WILL BE A SLIGHT SPOILER TERRITORY!!!

!!!PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!!

Aye! The MC here! They're female in illustration but I prefer calling them in GN! term and named them "Lucien"! We are in a train after a music concert. The chatroom with the people we went in left the chat and only us and another person, Mina, remain. Turns out we're both in the same train too so we decide to meet up!

A moment after the train arrived at the stop...but it's not ours...

Kisaragi Station? The creepypasta °0°)!?! (/j)

So, we're now in another stop... and found ourselves in an eerie place... And an unknown number calls us. Whether we pick it up or hang down, Mina will text us...

Mina makes her way in our car. We look at the number... 7... the door slides wide open but nothing's there other than darkness. Until someone whispers in our ears.

Gehehehe. I'm not gonna show you the whole thing in case you want to see it yourself!

I cut the spoiler of this chapter here but I'll give you preview of other shots because they are gorgeous!

Asgqhdhahs THE GALAXY ILLUSTRATION SOLD ME EVEN MORE WHAT FOLLOWED—

WE HAVE A CAT WITH A HAT FOR A CONDUCTOR 😭💕✨️

And this few panels! It's not much but I wanted to show how the writing and illustration doesn't shy away from showing blood and swearing! (Note: that guy used those mirror shards as the ammo for his gun btw... pretty rad.) So far, it's fully-voiced too!

Anyways, supernatural, eldritch beings, monsters? Check! They're very creative on it uwu). Good writing? Yaah! The art? Beautiful! Good humor? Nyah! (^=w=^)b

As said before, I'm not far in the story yet. I hope to see more creepy and cool stuffs but the daylight story isn't bad either! The characters have personality. Even MC had a good impression on me. They are down-to-earth and is quick at picking up to things happening around despite the sudden event in their life.

The only sad thing is... they all have body shapes... like... um... twink shaped in their 2-D.... and only one "dark-skinned" character 🥲... usgjqhsqj the Ad*nis Ot*gari of the game 🫠🫠🫠 I think he's cool and adorable tho! He went to the academy to search for his twin brother.

No romance, just classmates being sillies(/affectionate) going around to solve the supernatural in order to mantain the world's order.

The game is rated 16+ so I'm not sure if I'll post much about this here. I just wanted to show in case someone's interested!

The illustrations really do well at gorgeous scenes and at eerie scenes.

Can you do the slumber party bingo with Coke turner. The wrong number one?

(I love your writing btw)

Yes Ofc! Thank you for your compliment, it means a lot to me <333（and coke turner really has me laughing out loud which inspires me this:

At A Cost

Cole Turner x You (Reader)

Warning: Fluff, Wrong Number, Miscommunication

Summary: Cole is nervous. He is trying to make a reservation at a restaurant, but a wrong dial and a local cell tower maintenance bring him something totally unexpected.

A/N: My fifth entry to the bingo challenge hosted by @the-slumberparty.

"Hello? Hi. I need to make a reservation for two. Is Wednesday night okay?"

There was a stupid drunk dude who crushed his truck directly into a cell tower this early morning. The tower was not that kind of iron monster on the top of the mountain, rather, this cell tower is a simple pole.

Was a pole, with wires tangled at its base, about seven feet or so.

And now it is down. On the ground. Leaving almost every wired phone in the district unavailable.

Well, unavailable is a strong word. The reality is, since the tower-pole is down, every call towards a landline is directed manually, hence creating a long waiting line and static-buzzing calls.

Cole has been pacing in his room, his balcony, and even the edge of the farm five times, just to wait for someone could patch his call to the new restaurant. He has been on two dates so far and the girl he is dating asked him whether they could go try this restaurant next time.

And of course, he says yes.

"Hello? Hi? Can you hear me?" He has to take away the phone from his ears to make sure that the line is open, and after he is certain that the other end is still on the phone, he re-attaches the phone to his ear, "Hello? Anyone there?"

Static buzz annoyingly irritates his ear, but luckily, he captures someone speaking on the other end of the phone.

"We are fully ... Please hold on, I just saw an... available slot. Does ... work?"

A soft voice rings on the other end of the phone, bringing his thoughts back together. "I'm sorry. When is the slot?"

"Thursday ... pm. Is this okay?"

"I'm sorry, Thursday when?"

"... 7 pm."

"That sounds perfect." Cole lets out a long breath. For a second, he was starting to imagine the disappointment and the frustration of his date, Emily. Who is a very nice girl from L.A., but he accidentally overheard her being mean to someone over the phone after their first date.

He would rather not jump to conclusions without knowing more about Emily. For now, he doesn't want to get on her bad side.

"Can I take ... name please?"

"Yeah, sure. It's Cole. Cole Turner."

"Okay, Mr. Coke."

"Nonono, it's Cole. C-O-L-"

"My apologies, Mr. Cola."

"It's not Cola. It's COLE, COLE TURNER-"

"We'll have your ...-vation on Thursday the 24th, by 7 pm sharp, Mr. Coca Cola. Is this your re-... number?"

This has become extremely frustrating. Even without his date present. He hates dating.

"Just book a table under the name Mr. Turner. And yes, this is my number."

"I'm sorry, Sir. Are you saying you want a table booked under the name ...a ?"

"Sorry?"

"... I'm going to need you ... " static, buzz, "Sir, are you there? I'm ..." buzz "Am I ..."

Before the line goes dead.

Yup, this is going to be perfect.

To add insult to injury, it is not until three hours later that a confirmation text sent to his phone that he realizes, he messed up with the restaurant.

Hi Monica Cola, thank you for booking at restaurant Savory Soiree. Your booking is on 08/24 at 7pm. Enjoy your meal.

Monica Cola??? How the hell did the lady get that name?

And he wasn't intended to book at this Savoir... Something! He meant to call the restaurant named Plate & Grill!

Cole has no other choice but to drive to Plate & Grill, since his phone is completely useless right now, thanks to the idiot drunk guy who crashed his car onto the cell tower-

When he gets there, he is even more speechless when he finds out that the restaurant, which is scheduled to open from 10am to 10 pm today, which is Monday, has a big poster sign outside stating that they are having some problems with the local power grid, and won't be open for another two weeks.

Perfect. Just perfect.

Luckily, Savoir...Savory Soiree is just across the street, but with tinted windows and marble black steps, it seems like a slightly fancier restaurant than the Plate & Grill.

After a few apologies in a phone call, Emily agrees to the change of location.

Which is the start of his more-than-miserable third date.

Before Cole was able to reach the restaurant, he stepped on his toes, tripped himself over once, and banged his arm on the cabinet edge.

He should've taken it as a sign and cancel the date. He really should.

But no. He chooses to wear his nice suit and tie, be there on time despite all odds.

"Welcome to Savory Soiree, do you have a reservation?" A woman at the front desk smiles at him. Even though wearing the white shirt and black bowtie uniform, something about you seems different than the rest of the waiters and waitresses. Cole brushes it off as you look more leisurely working at the reception desk, not needing to take care of multiple guests at once.

Cole hastily takes out his phone, showing you the text message he got, rather than saying his "assigned" name in the text.

"Mr... Ms. Monica Cola?"

You try your best not to laugh, as this was the reservation call you took, and the jumpy phone line only allowed you to capture a few syllables rather than his full name.

"It's Cole-" He explains in a rush to Emily, who is looking at him with a mixture of confusion and doubt, "It's Cole- Bad connection, a drunk guy brought down the cell tower and- Can we get our table please?" Almost desperate, he turns to you for help.

You raise your head from the computer, nodding, "Of course, if you will just follow me."

The interior design of Savory Soiree is similar to its outside. With dim yellow glow and a glass jar of candlelight on the table. Dark tiles and dark leather sofas instead of regular chairs. Simple black-leather covered menu with two sheets of paper, containing the French-Italian fusion dishes with a few words of explanation. White plates with golden rims. Even the knives and forks are warm to the touch.

In a cute floral dress, Emily fidgets on her seat.

"Hey. You look amazing." Cole reaches out to take her hand, calming her nerves, "I heard that the lobster here is pretty good."

Emily looks over her shoulder, but doesn't take away her hand.

"I'm sure it does." She manages a smile, withdrawing her arm from his touch as soon as you approach their table.

"Hi, are you ready to order?" You step near with an iPad, "Would you like to start with some drinks? We've got excellent wine, both red and white. If you would prefer some non-alcoholic drinks, we have soft drinks and water."

"Yeah." "No." Cole and Emily say the same time.

They look at each other. Emily looks down at the menu again.

Cole quickly amends his words, "I think we are going to need a couple more minutes. Thank you."

"No problem." You gesture at the side of the table, where there is a small silver button visible, "If you are ready to order, just press this. I'll be with you shortly."

Then you walk away, leaving Cole and Emily at the table.

For the rest of the shift, you were called to the kitchen to help out with inventory. The tables originally assigned to you were allocated to other waiters and waitresses.

It is after an hour and a half that you finally finish all your work and clock out. "Clock out" is more of an overstatement. It is only eight forty in the night and plenty of guests sitting by the table. But none of that is your concern.

After all, you were only here to help out with this "short-staff" situation during rush hours.

You are waiting for your ride home when you notice the man standing right next to you.

"You're ... Cole, right?" Fairly certain of his name this time, you open up to talk, "I was originally gonna serve your table but I got called to the back. Did you enjoy your food?"

Cole takes a little while to realize who you are.

"Oh sure. The food is great. Excellent. The Osso Buco? Perfect. I haven't had such soft and juicy veal for a long time. Pricey, but worth the cost."

He can't help but sigh at the end.

"Ok-ay. Is it anything else you're not satisfied with, if I may ask?"

Mr. Coca Cola does spike your interest. He doesn't strike you as the type of rich folks who would normally come to your restaurant to eat. His suit and his wristwatch say so. Not to mention his plus-one, looking far from blending in.

Cole chuckles at your persistence, "It's not your place that's the problem. Date gone wrong, that's all."

It has gone wrong. Terribly wrong.

Emily didn't like this fancy place and everyone speaking in a low voice. She moved around on the chair as if she had nails under her ass. And when her dish arrived, she claimed avocado is harmful to the earth environment - even though she ordered the dish herself.

She was worrying over the price of this meal. And at the end of this date, after continuously worrying and fidgeting, she gasped in shock at the bill and told the waiter they must be overcharging.

And ran out of this place as fast as she could.

He eyes you somewhat curiously, "I thought you guys would be working till close, like, 10 pm, if not later."

"Nah, I'm just here to help out." But you feel bad about his date and the terrible choice his date made for her dress.

Sundress and fancy restaurant don't really go well.

So you shrug and give him a sheet of paper with your name and number, "Call me, if you want to eat here again. I can get you a slot."

"Y/N Y/L/N..." He mutters your name. Cole doesn't really believe that a waitress, no offense, can get him a decent booking for Savory ... Savoir, or something. But as your ride stops in front of you, he doesn't really believe that a young waitress could get a chauffer to open the door for her and get on a fancy BMW either.

But he really wants to eat here again. The tasty veal and the marvelous red wine made sure of that.

"You don't look like you work for this restaurant." Cole places the piece of paper carefully in his pocket, tugging at his tie because his throat feels dry all of a sudden. Gesturing at your ride and your coat, he grins, "You're not gonna be Hannibal, are you?"

You choke out a laugh, "No promises."

"As long as veal is on the table," He purses his lips, posing a care-free expression, "I'd do anything for a slot."

"Right." You don't buy that. Not a single bit. "Nice meeting you, Mr. Coca Cola."

"It's Cole-" He snorts at this inside joke.

When you wave and roll up the car window, telling your chauffer to drive.

storytime/lore: i was followed home

IMPORTANT INFO: my region has no sidewalks, so to get home everyday i cross the roadway (legally) and 100% do not trespass at all. if i had a car to drive, i would, and if i could take the bus, i would, but public transport doesnt pass through this part. IF YOU HAVE A CAR, YOU ARE USING IT. THERE IS NO REASON YOU SHOULD BE WALKING AROUND WHERE I LIVE.

okay onto the story now... my school is in another region so a bus brings me from there to another school, and i walk from that school to my house (about 10 min walk). today while going home i was waiting to cross the VERY BUSY street, and i see an all black LARGE VAN stop 40-50m away from where i was and this guy, also dressed in all black, steps out. and he started walking MY direction

(artist rendition below. thats my ugly persona btw i dont look that nice. those are also my beautiful eyes <3 sorry for staring into them without permission.........)

now like.. thats so weird. SO WEIRD. theres no reason you should be walking when YOU HAVE A CAR. ive lived here for at least 7 years and i have only seen someone walk on this road ONCE.

since i wait right next to the road im 1-2m away from oncoming traffic. its dangerous. now im waiting for all the cars to pass so i can (legally) cross the street, and at this point this random guy is like 20m away. luckily all the cars passed and i (legally) ran fast as hell across. i walked about 3 blocks before turning around and HES STILL FUCKING THERE. WALKING ON THE OTHER SIDE. PICKING UP THE PACE AND LOOKING AT ME.

this was in BROAD DAYLIGHT. additionally there was an event going on IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL where LAW ENFORCEMENT came over to educate the kids and was showing them different police cars, fire trucks, etc. WHY ATTEMPT TO FOLLOW ME WHEN THE POLICE ARE RIGHT THERE??

so i texted my friends. i have 2 irl friends i talk to outside of school. ive got like 5 irl friends in total so there wasnt really anyone else i could cry for help to, since my parents are at work for most of the day and night, and i have almost no living relatives here

about 4 blocks from my house i pass an intersection that goes into another neighbourhood where there was a someone in a car waiting for their kid to be dropped off. i speed-walked 3 blocks down and when i turned around there was ANOTHER RANDOM ASS GUY at the intersection looking in my direction. he looked like he was being yelled at by the guy in the car (i guess he suspected he was following me). the intersection is also at the top of a hill with some trees in the way, so when he looked away I RAN FAST AS HELL ACROSS THE ROAD.

i didnt even care that there were 6 cars coming from either side. i just thought "if i get hit, i get hit. if its my time to go then so be it" but halfway through i remembered something. you wanna know what i fucking remembered? what made me break out into a SPRINT? i have undiagnosed health problems that make walking up STAIRS a challenge, and i you wanna know why i started SPRINTING AS FAST AS I COULD? i remembered that stupid danganronpa dub. i thought of how disappointed everyone would be if i literally got kidnapped and never got to finish it. so i ran. i ran home. i got inside, shaking and panting heavily, which didnt stop for hours, but at least i was safe. at least i could finish it. my true purpose....... dubganronpa...

the reason i took to tumblr was because i literally had nobody else to tell. again, i know like. 5 people. i worded this post so cryptically because i didnt want anyone to be concerned if i just blurted out "SOMEONES FOLLOWING ME I THINK THEY MIGHT KIDNAP ME" so i said it discreetly and kinda goofy so yall would KNOW something was up, but in a half-serious half-joking way cuz thats how i cope with awful strange events in my life

it left me with so many questions.. why would you stop next to a busy road to walk somewhere when you have a car CLEARLY available? theres people who like <1 minute away from the school who use cars because walking is so dangerous. the only reason i walk is because I LITERALLY HAVE NO OTHER OPTION. walking anywhere in my region is BEYOND a last resort. hell, ive contemplated driving illegally before i decided on walking home.

i cant even think of anything i did wrong to get followed by some strangers. to my knowledge, i havent done anything to piss anyone off since first year. why me? what do I have that YOU want.. i just dub danganronpa anime and give it more homoerotic undertones.. is that really a crime?

now that im thinking back on the incident i realize i did have a few certain long sharp objects in my bag that i cannot name here (for self defense and also art supplies) AND MY BAG WEIGHTS ALMOST 3 KILOS?? IF I WHIPPED THAT AROUND AND HIT SOMEONE I THINK IT WOULD DO SOME DAMAGE

anyways im safe. for now. this weekend is going to be spent emailing my school asking them to make a bus stop at my house since the bus literally PASSES my house on the way to the school. i dont live in a neighbourhood, i live on the side of the road. its right there. why cant they drop me off man

Merry Christmas and TMNT Update!

Merry Christmas everyone! Just some updates but I've been hard in the TMNT brainrot. So first of all I just binged through the first 3 seasons of TMNT 87 AAGH SO GOOD it's so cute I love the boys so much! I finished 12 and WOW what a rush! Leo is the type of brother who would just carve his entire heart out for his family (and he basically does.) Raph is like the best brother, he grows SO much and cares SO much. Donnie is so adorable too, I'm glad he grew out of being a simp. He's a really sweet brother when he's not being like a stalker. Mikey literally saved them so many time just wow, what a lad. I love the dynamics of 12 so much. it's written like a tele-novella soap opera, but I say that only with love.

I'm on season 3 ep 7 of tmnt 03 and I saw Raph meeting a blind old lady who owns a cat and my heart melts, planning to actually rewatch that ep just cause my dogs interrupted the entire episode.

I also got my friend to sit with me and watch the 2007 tmnt movie and the Rise tmnt movies recently and they are literally amazing movies. I really hope Rise wins it's nomination.

I've been taking an obsessive amount of screenshots of tmnt 87 and sending live dms to a friend on discord, and I just wanna share some of my fav screenshots.

I wanted to take screenshots of 03 and 12 and Rise while watching them but the streaming platforms prevent me from taking screenshots.

This was such a cute episode, Michelangelo was so sad to not have money for a boogey board and Raphael towel whipped him and Leonardo in the back trying not to laugh out loud was so funny.

This ep was also great because it just ends with Splinter being stuck in this other dimension and the turtles are like "how do we save him!" and hitch a ride on an alien ship and just follow along and April is like "you can't leave me!" and next thing you know Splinter is shimmying his way to freedom and lands on them.

I don't remember this ep title, but I just think the goobers looking all sad is so cute and funny.

Leonardo was being devious

I took this screenshot too cause they just look so cute and small XD

I love how short and small they are, I just want to squeeze them.

This is the episode that introduced 87 Leatherhead and they went back to Florida, I just think them looking sad while sinking was so funny looking.

I took a million screenshots on birthday boy mikey episode. He's so adorable and sweet. He got sad and ran away from home and was hooked up like this flushomatic torture device and idk it was so silly and so many cute expressions were in this ep.

Just a bunch more super cute moments. Like no one said how they acted when they got sick and I was not ready for them to be begging April and Splinter for attention and baby talking for more care. It was so cute and sweet. I also screenshotted Donnie falling cause his face cracks me up. I still can't get over how they're literally just little babies and April is totally their mom. (she reads them bedtime stories, it's canon)

He was so excited to film a turtle work out video.

This is one of the last frames of the season 3 finale and I think it's so funny they got rid of the Technodrome once and for all by sending them back to dimension X and they don't even look that happy. They're literally being celebrated and look so bummed out about it

BTW I have paramount but they don't have past season 2 available right now so I started watching it on internet archive, it's all there for free if you ever want to get your Cowabunga fix. (it's also why I could even take so many screenshots)

How to watch Sally Bollywood in the 2020s?

TL;DR: I wanted to watch an obscure childhood favorite of mine but struggled to find it. Eventually found it right there on YouTube.

RAMBLING INTRO:

During my kid to early teen years, I was obsessed with a show called Sally Bollywood: Super Detectives. I made YTPs, wrote her into a butt ton of fanfiction, and made my PfP on Sonic Amino and Wattpad an image of her. But like most things for some reason I stopped watching it, this has happened a lot with my interests as a child I would make up an excuse like me growing up, worry people would judge me for it, or deem the series as being the devil? (I still don't know how that last one got into my child-brain, it was about Yokai Watch btw). But in the past few years starting from late 2020 onwards, I have started revisiting these things. Some I still have little interest in for actually valid reasons but the important ones have all stuck around. (I.e Yokai Watch, MySims, etc) So my next move is to let Sally back in. But without Quobo the channel it was most known for being on how was I supposed to watch it?

SENSICAL:

Sally Bollywood's first season is streamable in full on what claims to be "the safest free streaming service for kids" Sensical. At first, the layout of this site confused me but once I found the search bar I was good.

This is all well and good but how do I watch season 2? Sensical excludes the second season entirely and Wikipedia has little information on it besides episode names and a few air dates. At first, I thought this meant season 2 was lost media but I have actually seen episode 11 Night At The Museum on YouTube. How did they get the episode?

EDIT: The one I found on YouTube is actually season 1 episode 7 Trouble At the Museum not Night At the Museum. Still, there are season 2 episodes reuploaded onto YouTube so still, how did they get the episode?

PRIME VIDEO:

Likely this is how. In some parts of the world, I'm not sure where the series is available on Prime Video. If you have a VPN and know exactly where it can be found then you can watch it there, I unfortunately cannot. For some reason, they do appear to be missing episode 1 and likely a few others. This will not do.

🏴‍☠️:

The full series is available on a site, just out of order... For the most part, there is very loose continuity so I suppose it doesn't matter which order it is watched but I personally hate this! Everything I watch I strive to watch in chronological order oldest to newest so for me there is no way in hell I'm watching it on this site.

Episode 1 is supposed to be Cockroach Capers.

YOUTUBE:

Finally, after much searching, I found it where I should have gone in the first place, YouTube. The official Sally Bollywood channel has every single episode in both English and French separated in playlists but also combined into hour-long videos and mixed around into compilations. All the Sally you could ever want is right here.

Another thing I found particularly interesting is their affiliation with LoliRock. This is another nostalgic show I have always loved, never in my life would I have imagined Iris, Talia, and Aurianna being friends with Sally and Doowee. The category is translated via Google Translate to: "Other friends for more adventures!". They are also both now connected to Totally Spies which I have not seen but know some people may find that interesting.

IN CONCLUSION:

If you want to watch this obscure children's show after the death of Qubo, here it is! Qubo had a very diverse catalog of shows and when it ended these shows belonged to so many different people who know what happened to them! I hope that all of them at least found a home somewhere whether it's YouTube or a free streaming service. I was so worried this would be partially lost now but glad it is alive. This is off-topic but there are four Sally Flash games I'm not sure of the origins of, I'm not sure how to get them working so that is actually lost media right there.

I do have a plugin that can make some Flash games playable again but it only works for games that have been archived. Anyway, enough rambling I have a show to watch bye!

Rules + BYF

We love to have fun here, but nothing is more fun than respecting people's boundaries!

First and foremost, I am an adult. If this makes you uncomfortable as a minor, I recommend you don't follow. However, if you decide to follow anyway, there may be expression of some darker topics, especially surrounding mental health and mortality. There's a lot of trauma to be had. Again, if this makes you uncomfortable, please put your mental health first.

That being said, I will NOT be allowing NSFW interactions. These characters may be thousands of years old, but they are developmentally the equivalent of 15 year olds and should be treated as such. While certain characters might make some crass jokes, I don't want them to be sexualized.

OC and canon characters welcome! Crossovers and completely original characters also welcome! Duplicate canon characters are also acceptable and will be treated as individual timelines.

Shipping is not happening. Not because I'm against it, but because Bragi is painfully, obliviously aroace and you will get nowhere. You're welcome to attempt for shits and giggles tho (if your character is in his developmental age bracket, of course). However if you OOCly try to force shipping I am blocking you.

While Bragi's adventures tend to lean more slice of life-y, he is still a Dragon Ball character and is not immune to fighting (even if he really doesn't wanna). However, in the unlikely event that things do come to blows between our characters, I'd like to discuss it in the DMs first before we proceed forward, that way power scaling is sensible and fair and we reduce the chance of godmodding.

I will NOT fight you/your character on anon. Poke and prod all you like, but if you want to actually have a go at it, you will not be able to hit him by default, even if your character is written to be the strongest fighter in the multiverse.

I reserve the right to not RP with you at all if I do not want to. Do not repeatedly pester or rush me for interactions, whether it's follows, replies, or starters. I am an adult with a job and other projects I'm working on, so I am not available to RP 24/7 or on a consistent schedule. It's okay to message once in awhile to make sure your ask didn't get eaten or something, because my notifications can be hella spotty sometimes, but please don't go overboard with it or I'm giving you a one-way ticket to blocked city.

If I follow you, it's because I'm interested in your blog and your character(s)! However, I am not expecting a follow for follow situation. Please don't feel like you need to follow out of obligation! If you follow me back, I'm going to assume you're also interested. Also please bear with me if I follow you and it takes us 75 billion years to actually interact, I'm interested and friendly, but I'm incredibly shy and/or don't always immediately have ideas on how to interact IC ;w;

I do not follow personal blogs from this blog, and I do not (immediately) follow blogs with muses from fandoms I’m not familiar with. However, I am NOT mutuals only! We can still interact, even if I don’t follow you or I'm not familiar with your fandom (this DOES include personal blogs btw, you guys are really funny). If we build up a rapport, I may come around and follow you! Also if you’re a personal blog and I think you’re cool I might follow you from my main (it's @kirinda-ondo). :)

I will not RP with your OC if they don't have some kind of bio somewhere! It doesn't have to be a full unabridged biography, but I need something to work with. Even a short paragraph will do. If it's something you're actively in the middle of working on, I'm totally willing to talk to you OOC and work something out if you really wanna thread that badly.

Feel free to respond to any musings, dash commentary, or open starters! Musings are either commentary on my own threads or random ic thoughts, dashboard commentary is commentary on other people's threads or asks, and open starters are just meatier paragraph situations. All I ask is that you don't hijack any of my threads with other people. Liking them is fine.

Open starters and starter calls do not expire! If you see something that catches your interest, go nuts, even if it's been a hot minute! However, time-sensitive musings and ask memes do expire. I don't have a hard and fast rule/deadline about this. Just don't be sending me memes or responding to commentary posts that are like weeks old, my dumb ass WILL get confused.

We can have multiple threads going on at once if you're cool with that! Obviously I'm not going to overwhelm anyone but if you want to have concurrent things going on that's fine and cool :)

I know the tumblr RP meme reblogging etiquette is to reblog from the source, but sometimes I fuck up and accidentally reblog it from someone on my dash. Please do not send me to the shadow realm for this, I'm not trying to break anybody's rules! I am just ADHD scatterbrained. ;w;

On that note, I haven't RPed on tumblr since like 2017 and the culture and etiquette have changed a lot since then. If I commit a social faux pas or misunderstand some terminology, please let me know (politely!) because I am an out of touch old fart who's trying their best. ;w;

I like using icons, but you do not have to use them! In fact, if you don't use them, I probably won't either unless I feel like the vibe calls for it. I will also do my best to match your length, but I can't match your fancy formatting because I am not an HTML wizard.

IC =/= OOC! Bragi is a character who can be really blunt and petty and generally (unintentionally) tactless, but that doesn't mean that I am attacking your muse or you as a person! By that extension, if your character doesn't like mine, I'm not gonna be upset about it, and in fact welcome it, so long as you're not rude to me personally.

Likewise, if I see you being rude to me or other people on my dash, I'm blocking you. We are all out here pretending to be fictional characters on the Internet. Let's not take ourselves too seriously.

If I post something that you need trigger tagged, please politely let me know! I do my best to be conscientious, but I am not perfect!

Feel free to DM me if you have any questions or you wanna plot or just shitpost OOC for a bit. If we're cool you're also welcome to DM me for my discord (though do note that it's something I do not give out freely or super readily, if we haven't built up enough of a rapport, I may say no, or at least "not yet." But chances are if we've had a thread going for a bit we're probably cool, so don't feel too intimidated lol)

Currently, Bragi is the only muse available to be interacted with via starters and ask memes. His friends, Aneas and Tomor, may appear in threads as side characters (and will have dedicated info links!), but they are not available for individual threads or asks unless you are my friends Meri or Pea. This will likely change as I get more used to tumblr RP again, but for now I just want to start small and see how things go, so just pretend it's a single muse blog for right now.

Rules are subject to change at any time for any reason! If this happens, I will make some kind of announcement so nobody is confused!

HAVE FUN!!! I am literally just vibing and you should too :)

Wednesday's temperature check (7-26)

Back in the stone age of color television – to paraphrase historian (and B-52s front man) Fred Schneider, “Turn your watch, turn your watch back, about a hundred thousand years” – the futurist documentarian duo of Hanna and Barbera created a poorly rated series about a Twenty-First Century family, The Jetsons. This was in 1962! Neil Armstrong was not selected to the astronaut program until September 13, 1962 (ten days before The Jetsons’s premier episode on September 23rd). Besides, of course, the talking Roomba, that cleaned for the family, the documentary also keyed in on George’s, the family patriarch, mode of transportation to his manufacturing job at Spacely Space Sprockets. Of course he drove a flying car. George Jetson had one sixty years ago; what took so long to be a reality? Well, finally last Tuesday, the FAA released their official plan for the rollout of these long-dreamed-of air taxis. Because who among us hasn't been in a cab and thought, you know, that guy should be flying an airplane? These air taxis - they're not here yet, but we've seen drawings and prototypes. They look like a cross between a car and a kind of oversized toy drone, and something about them just screams Titanic submersible. BTW, I was wondering when the tragedy and the timing would intersect for - that's a joke. And we just found out! Personally, I’m a little more afraid of the intersection of artificial intelligence and cab drivers like the ones from 1990’s Martian documentary, Total Recall. Those cab drivers were too nice and safety conscious. It made the whole movie seem unrealistic. Fortunately, Elon Musk is still screwing up “X” and not available to make self-driving Teslas. Oh wait, he has and they act exactly like you’d expect from a cab driver.

So, while I check both ways before crossing in front of a flying taxi, I’ll be online and teleworking.

Stay safe! Tom

Media I Loved Last Week + Progress Report

My favorite thing I listened to is You Only Love Me by Rita Ora. Not me like

trying to hear if that's Taika's voice or not. And if it is... And if the song is about him... That's some pretty huge Fleetwood Mac Rumors energy. Like, that is a hard throbbing 9 inches of Fleetwood Mac Rumors energy. The thing is while I would like that for the #drama (and the Fleetwood Mac Rumors energy), I would hate that so much more because :'( I want them to be happy. So if it is Taika I hope it's either about some other guy and she just used his voice or they already Worked It Out previous to recording (or post I guess, that's fine too. during?). Anyway. 9/10 for the. fucking song itself. Someone who can hear sounds good c'mere and help me be an actual crazy person.

ETA: I listened to the song 8 more times while writing this post, and that is definitely Taika's voice. BTW. "Reetz, it's me." REETZ. Reetz!!! "This how I am, and this is how you are." I'm going to dig to China with my teeth.

My favorite thing I watched last week is Hustlers. To be more accurate my favorite thing I watched last week is Marry Me, but since I think I've already said that I decided to list the one I hadn't seen before. I love women. Don't know what else to tell you folks. I love women. 9/10

My favorite thing I read last week is sure as the sun come up from the south by cardinal_sin. To be totally honest I was not particularly thrilled with anything I read last week, but out of the available options this one is the best. It's pretty hot, but I didn't like the Wants A Good Grade In Therapy dialogue or the semi-frequent kink immersion breaking Izzy (POV character) did. As in, it's a blushing bride roleplay, and Izzy spent half of it thinking about how they're not really married, he's not really a girl, he's not really a virgin, he can't really get knocked up, etc. What did I say? 8? It's probably more like a 7/10.

I wrote 18 words total last week lol RIP. That was just a braindump note for an idea for a dark fantasy horromance to potentially write after I finish everything the fuck else on the docket. Still no additional progress on Curse The Messenger, but I'm planning to re-draft it this coming week to Get Back Into It. Wish me luck. (Also this heart is a different shade of pink on paper, but doesn't look that way on camera.)

oh fuck yes.

the siege of troy is just a lousy business trip with his like three friends (dio, polites, eurylochus) and then just like 40 other guys he hates

athena is his boss btw this is important idk why but it is

the airport is PACKED FULL and the service is awful and there’s no reception like at ALL

they claim to have problems with his visa but refuse to give him a straight answer

he’s been at the airport for 5 hours to no avail because his flights are getting either cancelled or delayed because of “unknown/internal issues”

polyphemus works at a coffee shop in the airport. ody is so sleep deprived he forgets to pay and it leads to a whole feud that odysseus just does not have the energy for but it passes off as an accident and odysseus ends up paying (with money this time, not the blood of 550 dudes)

he gets seperated from dio and polites and it’s the most horrifying thing he’s ever experienced

he goes up to literally any and every employee he can find with no shame begging them to “PLEASE get him onto a plane because his son and wife are waitint for him and look at this picture of little telemachus isn’t he cute”

it does not work

he gets onto a connecting flight after like 6 hours and parts ways with most of the coworkers he came with

he’s trying to get to the other flight when he, for some reason, gets detained by poseidon

it does not end well

don’r ask me what happened because i definitely totally know and i know it was funny. just dont ask me what it was

circe puts roofies in his beer

he ends up missing his flight because of it

the underworld trauma is just odysseus slumped in a seat scrolling through his gallery and almost sobbing at old pictures of telemachus and penelope (he hasn’t slept properly in a week and has given up all hope)

he has to resist the sirens’ song of really delicious looking croissants because he hasn’t a single cent in his wallet

as someone else suggested, charybdis is his bag getting either lost or stuck or both

once again, his flight gets cancelled but this time there’s a first class opening in another connecting flight. eurylochus takes it.

he somehow manages to get put in a holding cell for 7 hours by some cop named calypso

he somehow manages to catch a flight home. he’s so tired and starving and will never be travelling through air again (road trips or he stays home) but he finally gets to see his wife and kid

nausikaa is his cab driver

the suitors except it’s just one and it’s their neighbor who will NOT stop hitting on penelope

telemachus bites his ankle

this took an embarrassing amount of time

why are all these modern aus for the Odyssey set in a high school. where's the retelling where Odysseus is just a guy lost in an airport who keeps missing his connecting flights home due to a comical series of delays and disgruntled airline employees

haha yeah she lied to adopt me. It was a foster home for quite a while until they stopped doing that (they sat me down, told me it was expensive and that I no longer wanted a sibling, right? and then just stopped) and she'd test the various kids to see their proficiency in the field, so to speak? There used to be a lot of circle chanting but an older kid reported her. I never could report since my social worker was a noshow lol. Also when I told my social worker that I didn't want to be adopted to them my mother told them that "I thought adoption meant I'd be taken away" and they believed her so. That was destined too xD

I was the chosen child (it was fate) and got special privileges because I could do things for her, but also never got to have a birthday party with friends or hang out with people after school like some of my siblings because of that whole logic of ""the more time I spend with humans the more human I'd get""

She had to lie about her whole deal, but also like. so people kept trying to kill me and other stuff, WHICH LIKE sounds morbid but meh that's just what it's like? I'm quite good at wiggling out of those situations, BUT each time it was just further proof to her that I was ""a star child destined to be on this planet"" and ""I was born to be with them and the rest of the world would've killed me"" sorta stuff.

She also was really big on that "as a star child you were destined to be born, but you already chose your destiny when you were a star" sort of idea so like, if anything happened to me I'd pre-chosen/pre-destined it into reality so it was all my choice/fault. She's built weird.

And idk about how smart the whole percentages thing is. Honestly I was expected to have full back and forth conversations about the human subconscious and what compels people's behaviours by the time I was 7 or 8 (dEFINTELY by 9) instead of playing games or age-appropriate things so I was very used to how she thought and just.. used not-quite-lies as cover. They key is to take something that's true and leave out whatever amount of details you need and maybe through in something that sounds right.

ex: if you're expected to make the wind stronger to push the flag over there and the flag isn't moving you can say "Due to the lack of pre-existing wind patterns there is less wind to channel into creating a moving flag" or "The speed of the current wind is technically moving the flag with the current power it has available, but if given enough time the wind force will grow". They aren't technically lies nor are they real truths. they're like "yeah, that sounds about right" sorta statements

BUT YO if you want any funky stories I can give you vague words and you can pick a story, but totally no pressure lol. I promise they aren't extremely bad, mostly humorous with a "wtf" twist

Ginneapig

Werewolves

She Listens

A guide of things to do when you die

The Angels

The last in person conversation I had with her

AND ALSO YOOO REALLY COOL ART FOR YOUR OC. I really like your art style btw, it feels unique and it strikes a good mix between detailed and simplistic and can really add depth when it's needed. It's very vibey :]

OK I READ THIS WHEN YOU FIRST SENT IT BUT. COllege! So now i am FINALLY respondingfsdfds (thank you for the compliment about my art style btw)

FIRST OF ALL. It is so DEPRESSINGLY stupid that you told your social worker you didn't want to be adopted by them, and then they lied to your social worker in a very provable way, and your social worker just? what??? didnt look into it??? im fucking fUMING.

I've actually heard of that whole "Before you were born you agreed to everything that happened to you" thing and frankly, it is one of the most horrifying mindsets I can imagine. Thank fuck you're ok now (i'm assuming) cause that shit would've really fucked with me.

*rubs hands together* now for the FUN PART

ok ummm hmm can I choose more than one?

cause I'm interested in 1, 3, 4, and 6, but I'd love to hear all of them. idk if that's like. A LOT for you though. so if I had to pick one or two I think I'd choose 1 and 6.

Postmortem rambling beneath the cut~

Woo! One week under my belt. I got six fics of seven that I wanted to post (as far as weeks go this month, there is a singular instance of Lennonesque week-to-day ratio fuckery toward the end when there's suddenly 10 days "in" a single week, lol). I made a last minute decision to cut my losses on Day 03 and deal with it when the spell slots become available. I think this first week was the most difficult to write for, but I'm still not entirely sure why, considering it's almost 10k.

I started writing for Danktober in the first week of September, when I finally got the Inktober prompts squared away. I found that organizing the ideas into groups helped me for a bit, when I was faced with 31 unstarted tasks. I had a few series-adjacent works planned (set in triptych, mesh network, puppy marcus, tentacle marcus, and farmer Joel to an extent), a few self-contained series (don't call me wifey and chernaboyfriend to be precise), and the rest were a mix of one-shots ranging from monsterfucking outside the realm of the PPCU (chernaboyfriend) to monsterfucking within the PPCU (tentacle marcus, max phillips) to just plain old mostly in-canon stories.

A few things here and there were ideas that managed to accept the process of getting smashed into the context of certain days' prompts, such as the wingfic coming in week 4, the khonshu sleep hypnosis fic in week 3, the reverse AU next week, and the idea for the omegaverse fic next week has been marinating for a while, but I rescued it from the brackish pondwater it had been sitting in. Other than that, I really like how this all came out. The editing process was fun, and I'm writing this all in Scrivener so I can get ample practice before NaNoWriMo (most likely gonna write Farmer Joel for that one, btw). I still have no idea how to compile things, so I've found a fairly-easy workaround to help me out lmao.

What went well? The process of posting was very smooth, I think due to my (probably) overkill planning and organizing. I'm never doing a challenge like this again without at least a month's prep. I think flunktober was only written max 2 weeks in advance, which is why I missed 7-10 days total out of 31.

What didn't go well? Obviously missing a day sucked, but I chalk that up to more of an unclear inspiration for the prompts (bat, boyfriend, stuck in the wall) than sheer laziness or even creative block.

What surprised you? The response to farmer Joel, honestly. I had no idea y'all would be so intrigued!! The feedback was fuckin incredible, and really really alleviated my anxieties surrounding the AU.

What didn't surprise you? Initially I planned to make little doodles inspired by the fics, but considering I'm still not actually finished with 100% of the prompts, it was an easy thing to drop. Maybe 2023 will be the year of Art Bailey. I haven't had a vested interest in making art since I was in high school, but who knows?

Which work did you like writing most? Difficult to say. I think finally putting words down for Chernabog was the most difficult to do, but also the most gratifying!! I loved building out their relationship and just daydreaming about alternative forms of communication with a nonverbal sentient species. Lackadaisical absurd humor is my bread butter meat potatoes and comfort zone, so getting to be real nonchalant about the fact he literally ate reader's actual fucking heart and sometimes temporarily kills her for fun tickled me. I think the obstacle of that initial hurdle is actually what stalled Day 3 - it's another Chernaboyfriend but quite a bit sexier.

What are you excited for about next week? LOTS of things but I'll just name two. The first bit of Farmer Joel I ever wrote is coming out tomorrow for Day 8 and it's sooooo atmospheric and mysterious. I'm in the middle of editing it right now and giving myself chills just rereading some parts of it. There's a few more farmer Joels getting posted on the 12th and 15th, with the rest of the works in that AU being in-universe outside of the main story, and they're non-spoilery for the most part unless you have a knack for deciphering foreshadowing and literary devices. The other work I'm excited to share is Alpha!Marcus Moreno, an idea that's been rattling around my mind like the dice in one of those lil pop-o-matic domes from the Trouble board game. Katee's commentary in the comments of that google doc gassed me up like a goddamn humvee.

Thanks for reading, yall! If you want to be on (or removed from) the taglist for next week, please read the blurb at the bottom of the Danktober 2022 masterlist for more information. Besitos!
