Ash how is the fated watching going rn?? You’re braver than most

godd wampus im fucking THRIVING right now. this campaign sucks so bad it's genuinely unwatchable at times and I think that's the appeal to me <3 they spent like 10 minutes just describing and figuring out how the money system works and literally none of them sound like they've ever played dnd before and i don't think it will ever pass the bechdel test once the entire campaign even with velrissa trying her hardest but it goes crazy anyway

br'aad is my favorite character by a lot right now,, he's my FREAKK i love him and his idiot swagger so much. he's supposed to be charismatic but he sucks so bad at it everyone hates him but sticks around with him anyway. he's a warlock and his patron stops time and gives him insight on things/danger to come and kicked off the main plot in the sickest sequence I've ever seen. also his gayboy ass really did walk so every other gayboy slimecicle character could run !! they were so right !! and the party spent the first and second session hating everything he said and did . Took them sooooo long to be normal about him but they got it eventually when mountain (MY MAANNNNNN) defended him. Also he says everything with ^_^ . Just outloud you can hear it in his voice

for the rest I think the only other character that's talking enough to form an opinion on is taxi. and that opinion is STRONGLY a good one o(-( ! his banter with br'aad is so fun they're the only characters that feel Real and In The World so far and I love it so much. the names bit where br'aad kept getting his name wrong and calling him "saxi" and whenever he corrected him br'aad would just go "I know saxi. Nice to meet you im br'aad!" actually had me in tears at a certain point they're the only ones that have gotten me to laugh fr fr so far

sadly velrissa mountain and sylnan just Don't Fucking Talk so i don't have any real concrete opinions on them yet other than "hmm. Interesting ^_^" velrissa and her necromancy stuff is so neat so far I hope we get to see it in action soon instead of just small mentions here and there. same with the dynamic between sylnan and br'aad I NEEED to see more snockers scenes like their sibling scamming bullshit seems so cool I can't wait for them to emotionally rip my heart out through my throat. I can feel it coming

honestly the main appeal of it all is the characters and the characters alone. them slowly becoming friends and trusting each other will fuck with my brain permanently. I already cheered out loud when they so much as INSINUATED that they could stand br'aad and his charisma and they don't actually hate being around each other like that made me so happy. their meeting makes no sense but that's okay the Shenanigans with the solid snake box and br'aad trying and failing to stealth was so fun and "nice forearms, and a nicer staff!" and the little weirdo gremlin goblin following them around they're all very scared of and creeped out by (except for br'aad. he is strongly sexually attracted to goblins. this is canon and brought up over and over again) all make up for it. the story really doesn't matter to me here at all ^_^ all i care about are the characters being happy and traveling together and that's what makes the campaign enjoyable for me

model chapter two; mew meister

"you live in my dream state"- see you again by tyler, the creator

(after the dog picture on twt theres a written part 👍)

"you're fucking kidding me." she deadpanned. "language ms. ln." the professer warned shooting her a warning look. "this is your model. you failed to give me a name and contact information for one of your own so i have assigned one for you. you were made aware of this at the start of the semester, and when the project started. there is no reason for any suprise." the tall male had a semi-smirk on his face. she noticed this obviously, she was staring at him like a hawk. why him. of all the men on this campus. HIM. she doesnt even know his name for crying out loud, she just knows he's weird. and she doesnt want to get to know him. her eye started twitching slightly when her professer started explaining to the tall male about what being her model will entail. spending hours, upon hours, with her, basically a helping hand whenever she needed it. sure it sounded great to any normal girl, spending hours with the university's starting middle blocker. but for her it sounded like hell.

they walked down the hallway side by side. his hands burried in his black sport jacket. she noticed the back said kuroo. must've been his name she thought. she chewed the inside of her cheek. she knows she should say something, but she just doesnt like him. plain and simple. she thinks he's weird and he just gets what he wants because he's attractive. "whats your twitter." she begrudgingly asked his eyes widened. "um, well, can you just give me yours, my username is kinda long and awkward." "uh, okay?" she looked at him like he was crazy, and i mean, she wasnt wrong. she gave him her twitter account and they went their separate ways.

Hellooo, I was wondering if you could do MCYT with an S/O who has ADHD? (Mostly hyperfixates on horror games, etc.) I personally have a bad habit of walking around till my legs are sore (my leg has been sore for the past three days please help I can't get rid of this energy ahh-) and how MCYT would react to that/stop Y/N from. Doing that lol

HELP THIS IS SO REAL BAHAHHAHABA ; thank you for the request 🫶🫶 ; sorry if anything seems a little wrong, I'm kinda looking into if I have adhd but obv idk and I'm not diagnosing myself, but I obviously am not diagnosed so I don't know the full ins and outs and I know it's a spectrum, so uh yeah 👍 hopefully I did good lol

MCYT ; ADHD shenanigans

TOMMYINNIT

he'll walk into your stream, sit down, look at your screen, then blankly stare at you when he realizes what you're playing

"Dude. are you streaming FNAF again?"

you nod with a smile "yupppp"

he spends the rest of your stream talking to chat and trying to scare you more

you're just talking about the lore and shit and he's loosely hanging onto it LMAO

if you're just like pacing around the house he'll look up at you like "bro you okay?"

will genuinely join in as well, he's always got the energy

he doesn't mean to enable like hurting yourself to a point, but once he realizes he is kind of enabling it he'll immediately stop

"sit down, here, skip leg day for once, focus on those noodle arms of yours"

"says you! the fuck?"

RANBOO

let's you rant about your fixations and the lore and whatnot

I mean they won't deny that the Blair Witch Project video game is really good

they even buy you posters of the Blair Witch Project movie and video game (we don't talk about the movies after the first...)

even gets you merch off the official game site too (if that exists? I'm not sure istg there was merch tho)

they start to get a little fixated on it too considering they love hearing about the lore and theories from you and stuff

they even play it on stream and dedicate it to you

"thanks for the content y/n"

when you're running through the house, he'll race with you for a while before finding some other ways for you to release energy without making yourself sore

at one point he just gives you coffee that way you'll crash and burn after a few hours

I mean at least you don't feel like your legs are about to pop off your body

FREDDIE BADLINU

invested in the resident evil lore because of you

"I saw this and thought of you" AND ITS A LEON KENNEDY EDIT LMFAOOO

I mean yeah

loves hearing you rant about the games and everything, he could listen to you talk for hours

when you're all strung up on energy he also enables it without realizing at first

when he can tell it's more than just being energetic he'll help you find ways to calm down

if need be, he'll read to you, instant sleep I swear

or when he starts talking you'll be fully invested in his words

"yknow, Google listed among us as a horror game and I really cannot-"

NIKI NIHACHU

the amount of dead by daylight merch and the amount of money that you've spent on it is kinda concerning

but she loves listening to you rant about how the kill animations are so awesome and about new maps and characters and dlcs

I mean it's your current fixation, of course she'd listen to every single word you'd have to say

she even plays with you on stream a lot as well

when you're strung up on energy, she'll take you out for a run, you're like a dog on a leash though because she's not trying to lose you

"niki, come on! I wanna see the water snakes!"

"I'm coming, I can't sprint like you do, darling!"

QUACKITY

"of all the games, why is five nights at freddy's the one you're fixated on?"

he loves hearing you rant and explain lore and theories to him tho

genuine love language

he'll even play it on stream with you

"and the purple guy basically killed all the kids, and the kids basically scared him into the springlock suit and it literally killed him so he possesses that suit now-"

he'll just joke about the amount of energy you have

like Ranboo, will serve you coffee so you can crash and burn considering you end up begging him to help you

Eliza: Stop doing that.

Alexander: Stop doing what?

Eliza: Saying things that make me wanna kiss the hell out of you.

Eliza: Can you name a single city in Oklahoma?

Alexander: Oklahoma City, bitch!

('Tis a joke. Ham would never swear at his lovely wife)

Alexander: Where did you get that tomato soup?

Eliza: It’s actually a bowl of ketchup I just microwaved.

(When Eliza's too tired to put effort into cooking actual food)

Alexander: So you like cats?

Eliza: Yeah.

Alexander: Tries to impress her by slowly pushing a glass off the table.

Alexander: You got a date yet Eliza?

Eliza: No.

Alexander: Well you do now! Get your ass up and hold my hand!

Eliza: You’d be stupid to lay a hand on me.

Alexander: Oh, you’d be surprised how much stupid shit I do.

(She's mad at him because he swore in front of baby Philip and Angie)

Alexander: Thought I was meowing back at my cat for the past hour, but it was just me and Eliza meowing at each other from different rooms in the house.

(I don't know if they would actually do this, but I like to believe they would <3)

Alexander: Snow got me feeling some type of way.

Eliza: That's hypothermia.

Alexander: Damn, the paramedics told me it was the magic of Christmas.

(Eliza is very much concerned and trying to get him to go inside and sit in front of the fire)

Eliza: The first time I saw you, you stole my heart.

Alexander: But I'm a kleptomaniac, so that doesn't mean anything.

(Oh, it means everything <3)

Eliza: Let’s watch Sharkboy and Lavagirl.

Alexander: Okay.

Eliza: And make out during the scary parts.

Alexander: Th-

Alexander: The scary parts.

Alexander: Of Sharkboy and Lavagirl.

(Yes, Alexander. She didn't stutter. The scary parts. Of Sharkboy and Lavagirl)

Alexander: I’m so tired.

Eliza: Did you get to bed late?

Alexander: No.

Eliza: Did you do something strenuous?

Alexander: No.

Eliza: Then why are you tired?

Alexander: I’m alive.

Eliza: Sounds exhausting.

(Eliza is right. Being alive is super exhausting 😔)

Alexander: Can I have 2 straws with that milkshake?

Eliza: Aww-

Alexander: With 2 straws, I can drink it double as fast!

(No, because he would definitely do this. You can't prove otherwise)

Alexander: I don't know how to tell you this, but... I love you.

Eliza: That's great, Alexander. Especially considering the fact we've been married for 10 years and have 4 children.

(Ham just got back from drinking with his friends. He's drunk 😁)

Alexander, trying to flirt: So, you come around here often?

Eliza, confused: I mean, this is our house, so yeah.

Eliza: Alex, could we go shopping? All the snacks are gone.

Alexander: I AM LITERALLY RIGHT HERE?!

Alexander comes home absolutely drunk, undresses, and stands in Eliza’s bedroom.

Eliza: Babe, are you.. coming to bed?

Alexander: No thank you, I’m sure you’re lovely but I have a girlfriend.

Alexander: Lies on the ground and falls asleep.

Eliza: ...

Eliza: We're literally married, though???

(Again, Ham is drunk 😁👍)

Eliza: Do you want to explain the text you sent me last night?

Alexander: It was autocorrect.

Eliza: Autocorrect wrote "You're so hot. Please step on me"?

Alexander: Yes.

(Yeah, that happens sometimes. Totally 👍)

Eliza: Alexander, can I speak to you for a minute? In private.

Alexander: Ooh, someone's in trouble. It's me. I don't know why I did that.

(Again, Ham swore in front of the kids)

Eliza: I want to wake up with you every day for the rest of our lives.

Alexander: I wake up at 4:30 AM every day.

Eliza: I want to see you at some point every day for the rest of our lives.

(And that's on those rare occasions that he actually does sleep)

Eliza: Okay, I’m going to get the wedding cake.

Alexander: Perfect, while you do that I’ll check on the ring bear.

Eliza: ...

Eliza: You mean ring bearER, right?

Alexander: ...

Eliza: Look me in the eyes and tell me you are not going to bring a dangerous wild animal to our wedding.

(He totally is. As he should 😌✨)

Eliza: And have you learnt anything this Christmas, Alexander?

Alexander: …Not really.

Eliza: Nothing?

Alexander: Tell you one thing I have learnt—Christmas; ultimately, commercial holiday. Who's the real winner at Christmas? Amazon. they have drones now! Tiny little dystopian slaves delivering iPads and headphones. I ordered a toaster; It was on the doorstep five hours later! Do we need that? It was 4.99! For a toaster! I mean, someone's being exploited there.

(And that, kids, is the true meaning of Christmas. Exploiting people into buying stuff that they don't really need under the guise of it being worth it. That also fits for Black Friday, actually-)

Alexander: Alright, so the vampire's gravestone is—

Eliza: Cenotaph.

Alexander: What?

Eliza: It's only a gravestone if it marks the location of a body. A monument honouring someone whose body isn't present is a cenotaph.

Alexander: I'm... not sure that's how it works if the body gets up and walks away on its own.

Eliza: There's a precedent for gravestones being reclassified as cenotaphs if the body is later removed and reinterred elsewhere. There's no rule that says the body itself can't do the removing.

Alexander: Okay, but the body is very much coming back. That's kind of what we're here to accomplish.

Eliza: So it's a temporary cenotaph.

Alexander: And naturally our greatest concern here is avoiding semantic ambiguity.

Eliza: Semantic ambiguity is how vampires get you.

(I just thought this one was silly. I liked it)

Alexander: My future partner must be brave, strong, intelligent, successful and organized.

Eliza: Steps on a caterpillar and proceeds to drop to her knees and sob while apologizing profusely.

Alexander: That one. I want that one.

Eliza: I still have no idea how I’m attracted to you...

Alexander: Yeah, well, you’re stuck with me, and no take backs, honey.

On a whim, I decided to play on a different fork of Space Station 14 after a particularly rough round on Salamander (It's been getting highpop lately so it's been pure chaos and it's hard to keep in character as Adalite, a skittish and sweet reptilian, when so many bad things are happening.).

After hearing a good first impression of it from a friend, I chose to play on the Delta-V server and ported Adalite over to get my hours in.

First shift was a latejoin as a janitor, pretty much was uneventful, I just wanted to hop on to get myself situated with the community. And because I could not play Janitor on WizDen, lmao, that role is about as hard to get into as AI is right now.

Second shift was extended and I wrote up a greentext-like story to explain what happened. Feel free to click the read more:

> Be me, Adalite Tosimizu, Janitor aboard the station Lighthouse in the Delta-V sector > Just an average shift, clean stuff up, pick stuff up, dump it > Recycler windows kept breaking. Adalite's knowledge of building comes in handy and a reinforced window is created > Befriend a clown who fell into disposals (They were later called out by CC for not being clown-y enough) > Head to Epi to deal with a spill that cannot be cleaned with water. > It's potassium 💀 > I use a cleanade after failing and everything is a-okay! 👍 > I crit 💀 > Get taken to medical by the Mystagogue > It was just radiation > Okay, everything is good again! 😄 > Take a break to play Vamo Alla Flamenco on the guitar that was left lying around. > Vibe for a moment until… > Be… me? Adalite? Huh? ❓❓❓ > Confusion abound as both Adalites check each other out. > Turns out the paradox anomaly is just as confused as I am. > We immediately hit it off! 😀 > Do an impromptu team-building exercise with the slime coming out of the vents. > Holy shit, my clone is so nice! > Continue as normal, just now there's another me, I guess. She seems chill, so… > An explosion happens in north-west maints... 💥 > Decide to foolishly go investigate. Bad idea. > Nearly crit myself again, scrambling to escape maints with an emergency crowbar. 😰 > Comms light up. It's Nukies. 😰😰😰 > Head to bar to hole up for a while, meet my clone again. > Explain to her what happened, break down crying from nearly dying again. She consoles Adalite. 🤗🤗 > Everything appears to be normal again, lone-op got got, so it's just a little messing around with the new speed boots Epi made for everyone! (They had 20) > It's evac time. Shuttle was not recalled. > Head to the shuttle with Adalite and sit down. > Shorkie got captured in the chaos 😭🦈 > Make it to CentComm with Adalite and head for the bar for some peace and quiet. > We chat for a little bit before I realize I lost my blue shork in the chaos. 😔 > She gives up her pink shork and we end the round hitting each other with our own Weh-Wehs. > tmw it was an admin who was playing Adalite's paradox anom this entire time.

>Be me, KieueCaprie, sitting in lobby lamenting how scary and cool the paradox anom was. >See this in OOC:

😭

For the uninitiated, Paradox Anomaly is a midround ghost role exclusively on Delta-V which makes a complete clone of a random crew member. Your goal is simple: * Befriend yourself and make sure they get out alive * Kill and replace yourself from the universe you found yourself in. * Make it back to Central Command alive and unrestrained.

SIKE! It's not simple! You cannot greentext as a Paradox Anomaly! You basically get a choice of RP branches. It's pretty cool and to see it be used on me in my second shift on Delta V was both scary and cool, and heartwarming when it turned out the paradox anomaly was really sweet, just like Adalite.

Maybe I'll check out the other forks too someday but having a good first experience in Delta V is really something. Think there's RMC14 and Frontier I'd like to check out.

Coffee Enid [#4] 👍🥐

Enid was absolutely swamped with helping Yoko at the bakery, the numerous "meetings" they all had together about the business, and continuing to gain funds to pay off the stand. It was stressful owning a business, but Enid enjoyed the trials and successes everytime dhe got to unlock the shop, and prep for the day it was like a soothing routine for her!

She loved it, however, she hoped people wouldn't notice she was slightly late opening the shop.

The day went on with Enid making various cups of coffee and handing out different pastries and sandwiches to her customers, soaking up the smiles and joyful vibes that ran through.

Just when she thanked her sixth customer of the day, she appeared. To which Enid leaned upon the counter smirking.

"Hello, small, dark, and handsome. What can I get you today?"

Wednesday glared that causing the wolf to chuckle.

"Yes, you can. By explaining why you are two hours-thirty-six minutes, and forty seconds late on opening your establishment. You are always punctual, what happened?" The goth stared deep within her soul awaiting an answer.

Enid only leaned back rubbing the back of her neck nervously. "Just things is all."

"Things? Shall I kill things if that meant it would cause a genuine smile on your face?"

"What? How did you- have you been watching me this whole time??"

"That's for me to know, and you to never find out."

Enid stared at the short woman in front of her - a grin forming on her lips. "You're weird as shit."

"The feeling is mutual, now answer my question or I'll find out on my own."

"Okay, Ms. Detective - I'm not talking since you wanna be like that," Enid crossed her arms and turned her head, not noticing the challenging glint in the goth's eyes. "I don't mic business with pleasure."

"So be it."

Enid giggled as she rested her hands on the counter. "Now you answer my previous question."

The goth smirked, crossing her arms in front of her chest. "No. You figure it out."

Enid grinned as she winked at the woman before going into the back to wash her hands, then begin making the woman her order.

A large quad over ice, a BLT sandwhich with spicy mayo, and a new item on the menu; mini black berry cobbler.

Enid placed the order in the bag and handed it to her.

The goth gave a confused glance at her then the register, then back to her directly in her eyes.

"Aren't you gonna give me mt total?"

"Mm, no. Gotta make sure my stalker detective is fed for her investigation."

The goth growled placing her bag lightly on the counter and fished for her wallet.

"No! Don't you dare, take it and leaves."

"Ludicrous, I am paying."

"Take. The. Food."

"No."

"Dammit woman take it!"

"No!"

"If you put that hundred dollar on this counter I will throw you out of here."

"Is that a threat or a promise?"

Enid glared at the woman before walking around the counter and grabbing the woman as if she weighed nothing, gripping her collar and carrying her out of the shop before setting the dazed woman on the ground and returning from inside with her order and her dollar.

"Have a good day kitten!" Enid said waving at the shocked goth while she returned inside her shop.

The wolf laughed as she watched the dumbfounded woman leave with a deathly vengeance.

She was cute. Hopefully, she'll come back again soon.

Omygod, Enid got the backbone to flirt with Wednesday, good for her. Small short and handsome, you bet Wednesday was screaming in her head and it's why she glared

Then Wednesday got scruffed so easily, that's gonna haunt her nightmares for DAYSS

I feel like Enid would pause when she'd realize that she touched a customer. ".. Can I get sued for this?"

[demonir]

I spent all day yesterday with my mom talking abt a lot of stuff but amongst all those things she let me intensely infodump about tf2 for hours and I got to show her a lot of things, here are the highlights of me showing tf2 to a white uruguayan 53 year old woman who’s only game experience is bejeweled

I first gave her a very surface level rundown of the game plot which she found nonsensical the more questions she asked, I showed her the meet the merc vids first and at the end of each I gave her extra info about them

She thinks heavy is interesting and she’d probably like him more if he was put in a normal situation where he’s just a civilian living life, she never made a fat joke abt him so lets fucking gooooooo 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Her feelings on scout are mixed and didn’t like when I said he was one of my favorites, she said I need to like smarter people (this will be her downfall later) she did like him a lot more after we watched Expiration Date and found him and Miss Pauling endearing (she was great at picking up the subtext which surprised me) also asked her what age she thought scout had and she said 19 or 20 😭 then made a joke abt his baby face when I told her his actual age

Engineer scares her a small bit and does NOT understand how he’s my number 1 favorite (it was so hard to pretend I am normal about him in front of her) thinks him playing the guitar with a glove is stupid. I explained to her a bit of the conagher family story and she said that dell basically got the short end of the stick (because he’s tasked with fighting in the war AND maintaining the australium immortality devices when australium ran out) 😭

Thinks sniper is okay, I asked her what age she thought he had and she said 50 LMAOOOOO when I told her his actual presumed age she went “oh damn then I’m doing GREAT for my age”. I went on a huge tangent about the comic’s timeline and plot just to explain to her how he’s not ACTUALLY australian and she got sad abt him :( I did not tell her abt the jarate until a lot later bc I knew it would irredeemably ruin her image of sniper, I explained to her the game mechanic and as I was going to say “it gives the enemy a negative effect” she cuts me off and goes “yeah it makes them die from embarrassment” she also made a jarate pun in Spanish that I can’t remember at all rn I’m so sorry

Did not understand a single thing demoman said in the entire video and I don’t really blame her, her English is not good or that advanced it’s quite strange because she can understand some random complex words but had to ask me what “screw you” means so yeah she didn’t understand demomans accent she did however notice it was the same voice actor as heavy. I told her about demomans background and story and she found it so incredibly strange but wished for him to recover from alcoholism because it’s not good for him 💜 I told her abt demomans charms but she wasn’t quite charmed herself sadly (she did enjoy him in emesis blue)

Like mother like child, the Meet The Spy video was her favorite out of the bunch and she very quickly clocked in on the fact spy is scouts father without me saying anything, she said that from a technical standpoint spy is the most valuable mercenary on the team (goddamn not even the medic got considered) she also enjoyed him a lot in Expiration Date and Emesis Blue, I think hes still her favorite as of right now. Also we watched lil pootis and she laughed SO hard when I told her blu spy divorced blu ma and got with blu engie. She also frowned when red spy left lil pootis in the hallway alone and made jokes about mistreating his grandson

She did NOT like meet the medic or medic himself, absolutely creeped out by him and when I told her medic is one of my favorites she looked at me and went “your concept of what’s “comedic” and “fun” is very wrong and I hope you never get a boyfriend because I’m afraid of what you’ll bring home”….. I don’t know if she was serious or not 😭 I also never mentioned liking medic that way but I guess she fucking clocked me for it anyways. I tried to give her some medic propaganda and she found him tricking the devil to be very funny, I haven’t asked her if her opinion on medic has changed after watching emesis blue tho (I’m very curious to know since it’s a very different interpretation of him) I haven’t told her a single thing about heavymedic because I am afraid of what she’s gonna do with the knowledge of tf2 ships and I’m probably gonna keep it that way. She did seem charmed by the way medic genuinely loves his doves since she’s an animal lover herself

Soldier scared her a bit but mostly confused her, her initial reaction was rejection because of his ultra patriotism, nonsensical lines and violent tendencies however he grew onto her rather quickly to even make it to like second or third place on her list of favorites mainly because I told her about his raccoon sanctuary and the fact he is a great boyfriend (I didn’t tell her abt the naked honey fighting… I’ll show her later) and a great friend to demoman as well (she finds their cross faction friendship adorable)

Pyro absolutely TERRIFIES her she was utterly horrified by the meet the pyro video and doesn’t know what scares her more, the idea that pyro doesn’t know what they’re doing or that they do and do it anyway. I didn’t get to tell her abt pyro becoming a CEO in the comics but I’ll mention it eventually, the interpretation of them in emesis blue probably did not help her be less scared of pyro lmao. Also she thought the baby mercs in the meet the pyro video were oddly adorable and wants one….whatever that means

Overall she said the age of the game shows itself in the videos with their quality and what not and I also told her they were animated using SFM and briefly explained how it’s a free software fans have used for years to make fan content. Also she thinks the blu spy head in the freezer is the FUNNIEST shit ever

Her thoughts about Expiration Date:

She noted how this was obviously more recent because the quality was better

When she saw scout asleep in the van she went “that’s how I sleep”

She picked on a lot of details that I didn’t think she would and actually hearing her thoughts about the video after was rather fun, she did note how scout had used what he learned from spy later on the fight against the bread monster with miss Pauling for example

Nearly screamed when the bread monster ate the dove and let out a sigh of relief when she saw it was ok

Found scout very endearing when he explained he knew girls like Pauling don’t like him

The bit with the bucket made her laugh out loud I had to pause the video because she was curled into a ball laughing

I had failed to explain that they have teleportation technology in tf2 so when she saw the teleporters she loudly went “what the FUCK is that”

Loved miss Pauling a lot in fact before watching this video she asked me if we were gonna see her at some point since I had already spent a while talking abt her earlier

She didn’t have a lot of comments about other stuff I showed her that are worth mentioning but she loved emesis blue! She’s like me about liking weird confusing movies so that part she loved a lot but could do with a bit less violence, at one point whenever the characters were in danger she’d cover her face and go “they don’t die do they?” Over and over again lmao

I plan on showing her more stuff although it’s slightly difficult bc of the language barrier, if y’all have any videos or stuff you’d like for me to show her plz share but be aware of that

[lilacerull0]

HII hello my lovely!!!! how are you doing!!! i hope youre having the best month <333 okay so. writing to u bc....i have recently started listening to joan baez after seeing your posts (i am eternally grateful btw...) and now OH MY GOD i am. in love with her. like!!!!!

HELLO BELOVED!!!!! I read this ask while with my mom so basically we spent the last 2 hours putting this together:

every song and every poem is joan's song and joan's poem, i genuinely don't care who wrote these 👍 walt whitman? lorca? rimbaud? dylan? sounds fake to me. 🤷‍♀️ (<- girl talking about some of her favourite poets. well! they do not exist when joan is in the room🥰) okay so, we pictured this as some sort of poetry reading, that's also a concert, but it's also an opera number and you're in the theatre. (i witnessed a super cool outdoors concert thingy today so i'm a bit overwhelmed by that! hope some of the energy translated to the playlist hehe)

FRIEND! I AM SO TOUCHED! This blog was created for this very purpose, it is very much not about me I just occasionally use it as a diary, but I primarily wanted to share everything I loved with others and every time something like this happens I feel like I'm doing what I was always meant to do so thank you! For reaching out and being so kind! Joan forever ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

I GET THE BAEZDYLAN THING!!!!!! I try not to get too crazy about real people (Jo. Jo. Jo. you were born to be parasocial *shaking myself by the shoulders*) Putting my silly ways in a box under my bed now, I do attach myself to the art primarily so all my affection for the person behind it stems from that art and doesn't exist separately as its own thing because I don't exactly know these people, I just made 73838374937583 stories about them as a kid. BUT! THE THING IS! The essence of BaezDylan translates to their artistry and I could never tell you more than those live recordings tell you because it's literally this... okay okay so it's like do you know when you read a book and you feel like the author had some great life secret whispered to them and then some of it pours into you through the pages??? THAT is BaezDylan (I am writing them as one person on purpose)... I don't think they could explain what was going on there because it sort of outgrows anything a singular person could be, it just had to find a home in the music because it couldn't fit anywhere else. I've only started believing in these things wholeheartedly recently (even though, in a way, I have always known), but they have that thing where you know this one person, but their name isn't that important. It's like they're you in some primal way so you speak the same language, but they're also there to teach you a lesson and that immediately makes them a little unearthly in return. I would insert quotes and start analysing them, but I might start crying so I won't do that.

I LOVE YOU 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

@bunnyfella

I am indeed fascinated and intrigued

im so happy

okay so to start it off, it’s about pokemon. about pokemon black & white specifically. my best friend & i are huge fans of this game in particular, and talk about it together often. sometimes we’re having deep thoughts about what this or that means. sometimes we’re just looking at lines and going waugh. sometimes, we notice something, and then look at each other with the kind of horror that having too much knowledge can cause.

in pokemon b&w, the main bad guy’s name is ghetsis. he’s, for the sake of speed, an asshole. there’s so much more here, but that’s enough for this bit.

he has these other six guys who follow his lead - the seven sages, and he’s one of them. one of these sages is named zinzolin.

zinzolin is. well he has many problems, but if you were to offer him exactly one word, i think it would be “cold.” this man is an ice type trainer, who goes from place that’s snowing to place covered in ice to place that’s freezing, and then complains about the cold.

to explain how badly this man in particular has invaded my friend’s mind, if she realizes she’s cold, she will suddenly think of him. he plagues her. she hates him with a passion.

now, the reason for this hatred is that we have, as it happens, decided that zinzolin is down so fucking bad for ghetsis.

this revelation came to us when we were making a very sad and symbolic au, see. and we decided that this - whatever they have - needs to be messy and hilarious.

therefore, they are friends with benefits, and ghetsis thinks it’s no homo. and also that this is 100% part of the manipulation to keep zinzolin on his side.

zinzolin is aware that it is very homo, and has no clue ghetsis is attempting to manipulate him, but he’s in love with his boss and whatever he’s doing is working, so 👍👍👍

alright, now to the explanation of the blocks:

zinzolin is obvious. i introduced him as cold. i’d put him in a freezer if i could. he puts himself in a freezer twice, so i don’t have to.

ghetsis, on the other hand is more complex than that… he’s not so easy to put in a box…. he’s many things, he’s a very evil guy, he has so many parts to him-

and yet he’s so extremely simple, to the point where a couple hours ago i compared him to a concrete wall, and realized that the metaphor works extremely well. the metaphor is a different story entirely, but it explains the use of the concrete block very quickly.

so, the idea of the ghetzolin ship is horrific to my friend, and so i did my very best to simplify if as much as possible, while still making it obvious to the two of us, in the know.

as you’ll recall, her response:

now, onto a couple minutes later:

i’ve been done explaining my concrete wall metaphor for a long while now, but i’ve just realized something.

and my wording leads me to realize something else

which are just a couple very simple and common words that cause the best reaction of all time, that left me cry laughing into my hands:

the sound was not unlike badly playing the trumpet into a pillow

Hi uh you're probably swamped with requests so like make sure you're taking care of urself! Uh and noise and smell sensitive enby reader x hisoka please? Like for noise if the noise is loud enough the reader will experience physical pain for hour's and for smell the reader would double over if the smell is bad enough? Sorry if I'm requesting too much I just would like to see a reader with my issues 🙂

warnings

notes: i am swamped with requests ;) there are like fourteen in my inbox 🤭 but it’s okay because i said that i’m a slow writer in my bio so they can’t say i didn’t warn them 😈anyways i can definitely do this :)) also you can request as much as you need 👍

he probably has no clue how it’s happening whatsoever

but if you explain, he’ll retain that information like it’s the secret krabby patty formula or something

he’s super weird so he’d probably test it or something

(like a weirdo)

anyways he’ll probably buy you earplugs for the noise

(a genius weirdo)

and he’ll steal you a clothespin for your nose if worst comes to worst

(not as smart but still smart)

he’ll try to avoid loud sounds or smells before they even happen in the first place

his thought process is something like “eradicate the problem's origin before it worsens”

it’s a great thing he’s smart i guess

this is because whenever something is going to happen is just magically doesn’t end up happening??

who even know who could’ve possibly done this

or how??

that is for him to know and for you to never find out

what happens in the forest stays in the forest is what he likes to say when you ask him

on the off chance that a noise or smell is bad enough though

first he’ll internally think about what he can do to “alter the outcome next time”

then he’ll rush to your side and bring you somewhere he knows is safe

you won’t have to worry about a single thing for the next 24-48 hours

only about the fact that your safe now and that he’s trying his best to keep you safe ❤️

crush updates:

I am very very awkward and very very bad at talking to ppl i like, so i left the girl i like a note in her bike basket. It basically said that i thought she was pretty and we should hang sometime, and gave her my contact info. problem is, now im terrified she thought it was weird or creepy, bc i haven't heard from her abt it, and its been about 5 hours. I cant seenher again until tuesday, so im really nervous.

My gf however, has been flirting w her crush a lot, and its going well-ish. He just doesn't know if he wants to date her or not. A lot of their flirting has been very sex-y, so i'm just worried hes gonna use her. She said she isnt gonna do anything like that w him til he figures his shit out tho

Wise on your girlfriend's part!! 🧠 Not that I have anything against casual sex, but if she knows that's not for her, its very good she's not gonna let it slide that way. Especially since it sounds like there might be some drama involved? Whatever it is, very glad she knows what she wants and isn't gonna tolerate dumb shit ☺️

As for you, don't stress too much. (Easier said than done, I get it). There's a chance she's hunkering down to 👻you or trying to find the best "let you down easy" wording, but there's also a chance she's waiting to reach out until she'll have time to talk more, and a third chance that she didn't notice🙈 the note or it blew away 🌬️ or something. And of course, all those possibilities are what makes it so scary. But you did your bit. Its over with. Done. Finito. She'll do whatever she's going to do now. And remember: the absolute worst case scenario is she says "I'm not interested." A major bummer? 🤷Sure. But that's all the more it'll be. The rest of your life is stable and independent of this if it doesn't go the way you want it to (and like, it sounds like you're girlfriend's cool so the rest of your life is probably okay and like even if its not its not like she was gonna solve everything then)

Plus, you have the benefit of being able to talk to her again, so even if she did think it was a little weird, sounds like you'll be able to explain

Regardless of the outcome, I for one think its pretty cool you found the nerve to do something you wanted, and a way to do it that felt manageable for you. 👍 The hard part is over, and you'll have an answer soon.

[elmaxlys]

Had a lovely night and dreamt of the doctor coming to my house and I felt so bad but couldn't remember what was wrong so I just asked for a refill of my migraine meds.

Then i woke up, and fell back asleep and dreamed that *drumroll* I was in the hospital! Yay! Not for me but for the sibling while the parents weren't there for work and for trying to find a parking place reasons. Except the hospital was super huge with 3 different ones in it and at some point we got most, so, we sat on the floor and I put my bag on the floor while waiting for someone to come by and show us the way but it didn't happen so I went and searched for someone and after a while I did! So I went and got the sibling and there we went. So we get to the waiting room and I want to text the parents to tell them but I then notice that my phone was in my bag and I had forgotten my bag in the other place when we got lost! So I leave the sibling in the waiting room and rush and get lost again and cry and find the general area but there's no bag of mine anywhere on the floor so I cry and find a group of people that were fr just hanging out and they're sweet and stuff and tell me they've seen my bag and put it on a bed and so one of them leads me there and we talk a little and she tells me to read a book by "Rebecca Count" etc and I find my bag, find my phone, the girl leaves me and I try to find my way back and get lost again and I cry and I cry and I walk and it's so long and I try to call my parents but I keep pressing the buttons wrong but there's no backspace button so I have to erase everything and type it all again, and after a dozen tries a call finally manages to get through but while I thought I had typed my dad's number, I got my grandparents on the phone and they were happy I called and all but I was like where's my dad why do you have his phone and they were like ??? what. so I said sorry hung up and there I found anothrr group of students on the way, including a girl I knew from before and so I ask her where the 3rd hospital is and she shows me the place but there are two entrances and 1 is for a sorts grocery store and the other is like for an airport and so I go for the airport but they ask me all kinds of questions about who I am with whom I have an appointment and at what hour and I try to explain I had gotten there before for an emergency and therefore I had no appointment and I can't remember the hour we had gotten here nor the hour the sibling was supposed to be seen but I give them the name and they go okay and let me in and I walk and I walk and I get lost and I cry and try to call my mom this time but I can't even type 06 properly, my fingers keep pressing on the side and I break down so hard I wake up 👍

For the stats: regular me, legal name

[the-judicial-assistants-notebook]

oh the ones I wanted to send are taken already UHM.. Wrightdot and/or Franmaya? (the latter isn't my cup of tea but I'm interested to hear your thoughts on it!)

HELLO, GRACE, MY DARLING FRIEND GRACE 💖💕💕��♥️💝❤️💗❤️💖💖💕💝💞♥️💗💞 Thank you for the ask; I am honoured you actually wanted to hear me talk about multiple ships whsjdhj 💖💘💗

Wrightdot:

Grace, trying to answer this gave me some sort of quarter-life existential crisis, and I am a bit hysterical rn. Through the laughter and the screaming, I have to admit that... I kind of............ get it??????? I WOULDNT SAY I SHIP IT, BUT, LIKE. THEY'RE SO FUNNY BUT ALSO REALLY SAD AND IM????? IDK WHAT I THINK SJWVSHDHFKDH

Ultimately, though, ULTIMATELY. I can't quite get past the whole 'that is Mia's ex who is still very much in love with her, and her protege' thing. She's played too much of a role in both their lives for them to see very far past her influence on one another, and I don't think it'd be very healthy for them to try pursuing a romantic relationship; because I feel like they'd inevitably end up trying to fill the space Mia left in their lives through the other person which just wouldn't work. I definitely think they should have some sort of a relationship, though! I think Diego cryptically mentoring Phoenix and being very unhelpful most days, but always really solid help deep down, is very fun and kind of important for them post-BttT. I think they should get to truly know one another, beyond the masks and the projection, and Diego has a lot more experience being a lawyer than Phoenix, so he'd definitely be able to help with all the moral quandaries that are bound to come up later on. Plus he'd Get the whole 7-yg Phoenix attitude thing because... he's been there. I think he could've been helpful, and it's a shame we don't get to see them be, if not friends, respected acquaintances.

Alternatively, though, the idea of Phoenix having a casual conversation with Diego only for the fleeting thought of "Wow, he's really attractive" to stop him dead in his tracks and make him question his whole life and go to therapy and Leave the Country™ is so funny to me. Alternatively-alternatively, I get the romance of it. It's the whole pulling back the mask, having someone who really understands you, being accepted in spite of your worst flaws, moving on from grief and loss with another hand in yours and NOPE. I CANT TALK ABOUT THIS. I DONT SHIP IT BUT IDK! IDK!!!! IM THROWING THEM BOTH OFF A CLIFF, AND THEN IM THROWING MYSELF OFF A CLIFF. I AM DONE. GOODBYE.

Franmaya:

Okay, after standing in the shower and staring at a wall for 3 hours, I can talk normally again, which is good because I have to explain this.

I know the people who ship them don't do it in this way, but? Honestly? Franmaya is one of those wlw ships that strike me as two female characters being shoved together because they're left hanging once the main male couple whom everyone actually cares about (nrmts in this case) gets together, and because no one can find anything interesting to say about them as individuals, so now they're lesbians. Yay! (And also because people maybe don't want to be seen as only shipping mlm ships for fear of being told they're fetishising them.) And I know that that's not true and that most Franmaya shippers love both of them individually (as we all should), but something about them always makes me hear the feminine AI TikTok voice going, "Diversity Win 😊👍🎉!" in my head and conjures up images of Western corporate advertisements during the month of June (hence the love is love coca-cola).

And I know this isn't the case, but ???? I think it's mainly because I genuinely do not understand this ship. I don't usually need ships to be supported by canon for me to ship them, but what we've been given by canon doesn't help me see these two as ever being friends, let alone girlfriends. I understand the reasoning of "they both have self-worth issues so they'd understand each other", and that's a perfectly good reason to ship people, but like. I kind of want more? I kind of want them to be able to connect on a level that goes beyond them having similar issues? And probably the folks who do ship Franmaya do have reasons that go beyond that, like maybe Maya teaches Franziska how to lighten up and not take herself so seriously, and Franziska shows Maya that she doesn't always have to be the easiest version of herself to be loved. And that's all lovely! But I... don't want them to fix each other--

See, the versions of Franmaya I've seen floating around either boil them down to a wlw version of nrmts OR they make them out to be this saccharine, perfect, happy lesbian couple who are so, so wonderful and sweet to each other. Which is. Great! I love seeing women happy! But -- I'm sorry -- it's so BORING to me. It always seems to fix them a little (even if it's just around each other), and I like their flaws. I like that Franziska's a bit of an uppity, violent snob, and I like that Maya is a bit of a naive, insecure girl. I don't want them to fix each other, but I've tried twisting them the other way round, too! I've tried giving them the Krisnix treatment where they just amplify each other's worst traits, because they share similar insecurities and would know where to prod to make it hurt, but! I find that even less appealing and workable, tbh. Maya at her worst might let someone walk all over her for momentary wisps of affection disguised as acceptance of her flaws? But she has good and smart friends! Nick would never let her be in a toxic relationship like that, and he'd stay with her until she realises it's bad for her! And Franziska, regardless of how she may feel about being in Edgeworth's shadow, would never let anyone else even suggest that to her. The moment she gets a hint of that kind of disrespect, she is gone. She doesn't need you, make no mistake of that.

And it all really comes back to the fact that I can't see them connecting as friends. With Emaziska, I could see how they could be genuinely good friends and then more, but with Franmaya it's just... Not there for me. I can't see them progressing beyond the "oh, that's my little-older brother's friend's sister" stage the way you might be "friends" with your parents' friend's kids, you know? Like, yeah, you guess you're friends with them, but it's nothing serious or real. That's how I view their relationship. I'm not averse to being persuaded to ship them (in fact, I'd like to have them explained to me; they have cute art!) but I have tried and ehhh?? Doesnt do much for me, sorry, Franmaya 😔

[sweet-little-dude]

taku it feels like i haven’t talked to you in ages. cries. also also i love the new theme!! even if i miss the mizo mid pfp

anyways i am here to tell you that i FINALLY watched s2 of tokrev omg aren’t you proud of me 😌😌 i don’t really have much to say abt it tbh bc i mean i knew everything that happened already you know everything that happened already soo... but i gotta tell you abt the moments that made me feel the most things bc well. i gotta tell someone and my qpp was live experiencing everything bc i watched s2 with them & three of our friends so it’s only you left. okay so first i gotta explain shakey time bc uhh my qpp & i are both shit with ~emotions~ and ~feelings~ so basically when either of us Feels Too Much TM we grab the other by the shoulder and shake?? honestly i have no clue why but somehow it helps with processing ??? well i’m calling whatever that is shakey time. so. too much shakey time in those 4 hours i swear. most notably the whole manila mikey shit (i mean i knew ehat was gonna happen but still 😭😭😭😭) and then on a wayyy happier note izana!! izana <33 and shion and mochi and the haitanis <33 so much shakey time. love izana’s japanese va (idk abt others we only watched it sub so). very happy and i have newfound motivation for sm stuff now help. also do you happen to know who that guy beside mochi was in that one shot where we see him, izana, shion, kisaki iirc, and the haitanis? bc my only guess is mucho. or some random unimportant guy. but like both of these don’t make that much sense. maybe i’m just forgetting smth idk

also i have no clue how the bd arc would do that but i am now going insane over the final timeline?? specifically the final timeline but everyone still has their memories from before the final jump. except maybe kisaki or smth idk but i haven’t figured good criteria for who remembers n why yet. i most specifically need bajitrio to remember bc i think that makes for fun hcs hehe. just kazu & fuyu subtly trying to check for baji’s pulse (or heartbeat) to make sure he’s actually still alive in this timeline n eventually it becoming a habit/subtle sign of love kinda thing bc they do it so often lol. also kazu & fuyu def have an obsession with falling asleep on baji’s chest while listening to his heartbeat. i feel it’d be very reassuring to them idk,, and i think kazu holds baji’s waist 24/7 when they’re the age he would’ve died + older bc there isn’t any injury or scar there (where he stabbed him in the other timeline-) and he sometimes needs to reassure himself that there really isn’t afjkfgjffh

while i’m on that mitsuya repeatedly calls draken in the middle of the night around the time where he died in the other timeline to make sure he’s alive. mikey just makes draken sleep over in his bed and solves the problem with that lol

also. hanma. hanma keeps forgetting that kisaki’s alive in this timeline at first and scares himself shitless every time they interact bc for a split second he thinks he’s going crazy seeing a ghost

kakucho simply never leaves izana again. problem solved 👍

mikey lives with emma & shin (& maybe izana... maybe......) so he knows they’re alive and well and since he makes draken sleep over anyways draken also knows they’re alive & well.

wakasa, benkei & takeomi call each other at ungodly times of the night n go ‘‘shinichiro is alive, right?’’ ‘‘last time i checked, yes’’ ‘‘good, thanks’’ and then hang up and go to sleep bc they don’t wanna bother shin but sometimes... sometimes there’s just doubt yk

while we’re at it i believe in takeomi being a better brother this time. like he still fucks up sometimes and all that but he genuinly tries and he actually pretty much fixes his relationships with his siblings bc they all learnt from the other timeline (and i want them to be happy okay). not sure if i believe in taiju being a better brother this time...

i’d like to say i’m normal abt this (au version of this) timeline but uh.... uh...... ngl i used to HATE hate the ending and i still don’t like it much but i am slowly starting to like it more but i’m not sure if i should be happy abt that ngl 😭 idk i think i mostly like the characters & some of the new interactions n dynamics, not the actual timeline. bc to me it will always be the final timeline’s biggest fault that basically nobody remembers anything from any of the other timelines bc all of the character development n shit is gone. but oh well

elys my love, hello! it really does feel like forever since we've talked youre righttttt. thank you haha!! my emo bands hyperfixation got so bad to the point of me putting in the effort of changing my theme, can you believe it? ok look, the mizo mid pfp aged like fine wine. still nice, but still aged

yayyyyyy!!! i am indeed very proud tehe. but that seems pretty effective? if it works for the both of you then good job!! yes the reveal of tenjiku!!!!! was screaming and pointing them out to my siblings the whole entire time so real. omg yes thatz good! [will answer that second ask of yours after this bcuz ik it was related to it lol]

STOPPPP THOSE ARE REALLY CUTE AND SAD AT THE SAME TIME I LOVE THEMMMM

big brainers i tell you

hanma :(((((((((

no cuz istg izana's whole death has to be one of the worst in tokyorev. like what did my boy kaku do to deserve this man :((

would be a nice house to live in / visit!

true theyre probably some of the characters that had it the worst ngl. like everyone went through an equal amount of shit with everyone's deaths but the bd's losing shin must've been horrible :(

YES LIVING FOR THE OMI GOOD BROTHER AGENDA this reminded me of that clear shot of him in s2 im gonna cry i love him i love him true i mean im sure he learns along the way tho, i'd hope so.

like the ending of tokyorev??? cuz boyyyy 💀💀 my thoughts on the ending is for another time but fr letz just say the ending wasnt the best thing ever like ong. i mean it was a good ending for the characters and its pretty much what everyone wanted but the way it took place was just not it T T ok but the koko n kisaki agenda is REAL they are so bffs honestly i live laugh love them. yeah nobody remembering what happened was shitty but at least chifuyu remembered? that was a nice detail during the ending ngl

[ Welcome back to: 🐧🏒 ]

Sid>> guys, I know there’s a lot going on right now that has us all confused and concerned. I certainly am. But I miss skating, so I'm gonna go to the practice rink tomorrow, just to see how skating feels with all the changes. Anyone want to join me?

Geno👍👍👍>> i come to rink!! Need new skates, feet too big((((

Jars>> not sure how much use I’ll be. My horns don’t like my helmet. 

Sid>> don’t worry about equipment, this won’t be a game or anything. Just skating. I know we were all pretty shaky on our feet after h-day

Rusty🪶🪶>> yeah, my center of gravity or whatever is way off cuz of the wings. I could do with some skate practice. Count me in!!

🐕>> sure, I’m down

Over the next few hours, the group chat confirms almost everyone coming to the group skate the following day. 

—

The rink is quiet when Sid pulls into the lot. There’s only one other car there, and Sid knows it’s the rink employee that agreed to let the team in. He hops out, gathers his lighter-than-usual bag, and heads in. 

“Hey, Anaya, thanks again for doing this.” Sid greets. Anaya smiles back, her new horns bobbing as she nods. 

“No worries, Sidney, happy to help. I’m gonna head out, since I have chores to do, but give me a call when you’re wrapping up, and I’ll come back and lock the rink up, okay?”

Sid nods. 

~ 

He’s just slipping into his skates, testing the feel, when Geno arrives. 

“Sid! How skates feel?” He asks, setting his bag down in his stall before sitting next to Sid. 

Sid flexes his toes in the skate, and finds them okay. “Good. I don’t think I grew as much as you did. I’ll probably need new ones, but they’ll be okay for now.” He explains, rocking his legs back and forth to check the flex of the ankles. 

Geno nods, and pouts. “I check skate this morning, feet too big. Need new skates.” He pulls his old skates out of his bag, and- yeah, they’re definitely too small now. Geno even tried to take the laces out to see if they would fit without them, but evidently, that didn’t work. 

“I’m sure we can dig through the equipment room to find some bigger skates.” Sid assures his friend, patting his shoulder. “Have you had any more issues with your lip?” He asks. Geno’s bottom lip looks almost completely healed. 

“Haven’t bitten since first day. Still sore, but okay.” Geno runs a few fingers over his bottom lip gently, and smiles, showing off his impressive new teeth. Sid smiles back. 

~ 

The rest of the team trickles in in groups over the following hour, greeting their teammates happily and asking about how they’ve all been adjusting. 

There are several bird hybrids on the team that, pardon the pun, flocked together. Having to learn how to use a new set of muscles required a lot of work and patience, and all of the birds on the team helped each other out. 

Tristan seemed to take all of the horned hybrids under his (metaphorical) wing, and when they walked into the locker room, all of the others tapped horns and antlers with him. 

Once everyone that agreed to come arrived, Sid stood up and stepped forward, calling everyone’s attention to him easily. 

“Thanks for coming, guys. The main focus of today is just to get used to our new bodies. A few of us haven’t changed much, but most of us have completely new appendages, new centers of gravity, new body mass. All of that changes how you skate, so today, we’re just skating. If your old skates don’t fit you any more, follow me and Geno, and we’ll check out the equipment room for new skates. If your skates still fit, you can head out to the ice to get started.” 

A few of the bigger hybrids join him and Geno, and they troop to the equipment room. It takes them 20 minutes to find everyone skates that will fit, but eventually, everyone has skates that’ll work for today's practice. 

~ 

Sid’s first step onto the ice is… hesitant. He hasn’t changed as much as, say, Geno or Rusty, but still. He’s bigger than he was before. He has a tail. All of this is so new, so unexpected. He doesn’t take surprises well. 

The first step is nudged into the second by Geno behind him, and Sid starts to glide. 

Ok, he thinks. Like learning to skate for the first time. Knees are a little shaky, but I’m okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. 

The assurance follows him throughout the entire skate. 

~

When the birds get comfortable skating, they tend to spread their wings out wide when they bank a corner or skate quickly down the ice. 

When Tristan and the other horned hybrids anticipate a hit, they duck their heads down to try and meet the hit with their horns. The crack of two horns meeting echoes throughout the rink, but Tristan and Jason (an ibex) are grinning happily, so the rest take it as a quirk of being horned. 

The felines quickly have to suppress the need to pounce on a puck that’s passing by them. Brian, a snow leopard, has to suffer through an endless amount of chirping because he was the first to do it. 

A puck had ended up on the ice, even though they weren’t really practicing handling it. Someone kicked it by Brian, who stopped the conversation he was having to stare at it as it passed by. His partner poked at his arm when he didn’t stop staring, but he didn’t respond. The puck bounced into the board and tumbled to a stop, and Brian still stared. 

“Dumo?” 

One of his ears flickered in his partner’s direction, but Brian didn’t respond. He shifted slightly, shoulders rising up and head dropping low. 

“Oh, shit.” 

His pupils blew wide, and with a sudden burst of movement, he pounced on the puck, hands first. He slipped on the ice when he landed, and ended up on his side, puck tucked under him. 

“Dumo?” Someone called out to him. His tail twitched. 

“I don’t wanna talk about it.” Oh dear. He’s embarrassed.
