✨️trop men and if they could get you off based mostly on vibes ✨️
💕Now to level the playing field let's give a simple y/n on if they could get the job done during your first time together and the overall mood of the evening. Mildly nsfw (I'm not gonna get too detailed...unless 👀)
Adar💀 Yes. Woof, not to get too crass right off the bat but daddy is the name he earned so yes absolutely. Also brace yourself it will be kinkier than you think and it will awaken something in you. And it would start off painfully slow just easing you into it lightly. Seems like a great opportunity to try things you've been curious about but beware you're getting into like five kinks that haven't even crossed you mind before. One minute you're having a romantic candle lit dinner then Bam youre wearing a chain collar with his name on it.
Elrond 😇 Oh, god bless. No. Baby I'm sorry but no. That being said it would still be a great time with really positive vibes. But Elrond would get too in his own head thinking about options and the best 'plan of attack' to actually deliver. Plus he would play it super safe not wanting to off put you in anyway and thus would kill the passion a bit. Still would be the biggest sweetheart and over all give you a fun time. (Give him time to build his confidence though lotr Elrond Fucks for sure)
Halbrand 🐶 LISTEN Listen listen...No. Hear me out. I just-I feel it in my blood that this guy will rizz you so hard and talk such a big game and than when he time comes it's just ok at best. Like he's made at least one person come before and thinks he has cracked the code. Still his heart's (seemingly) in the right place and its pretty romantic over all. Lots and lots of cuddling.
Annatar 🐱 Yes. And it's amazing but the vibes are terrible. He gets way too intense too fast. He's the kind of guy to say some really weird shit during. Like not even anything dirty just waxing poetic about how you're part of each now and the bond of your bodies is inescapable even in death. And he waaay into talking about how you belong to him now and you're just like?? Is he just talking crazy in the heat of the moment or ?? Also no aftercare and he's 100% gone when you wake up.
Arondir 🏹 Yes. And it's Good but not as romantic as you were hoping. He's into you but Arondir def doesn't realize what a catch he is and is surprised that you're so here for him. Also buddy's got a lot going on so he's still gonna be pretty guarded emotionally. Still he's extremely respectful and such a good kisser like he's got your head spinning and you've barely started.
Elendil 🗡 No. But he tries hard and it's a great time. He's kinda got that big puppy Halbrand thing going on but like genuine. Def more into you than you are him. Elendil will rizz you with care. Pays very close attention to what you like/want. Even if it doesnt happen he's fine with talking about it, even makes a few light jokes at his expense. He's terribly good at putting you at ease. By the end of the night you're more smitten than you first thought.
Celebrimor 💍 Yes. Are you kidding me?We're talking mastery, we're talking attentiveness, we're talking about a very smitten old man that's going to court you with his whole heart. The vibes are impeccable and he's going to make it known that taking care of you is his top priority. Additionally I can't explain why but you know this man's head game is god tier.
Gil Galad 🏵 Yes. Don't even get me started on how this man is gonna rock your world. The high king is a big guy so it's go big or go home when it comes to love and affection. He doesn't allow himself to pursue romance often but when he does he goes hard. In terms of the act itself and the amount of extravagance and detail he'd put into wooing you. Plus cmon you know he's stressed and pent up as hell. Brace yourself for being be absolutely worshipped All night. You're in for a wicked case of jelly legs and you're not going anywhere.

Yeah!! Please rank the spirit dresses!
LETS GOOOOOOO
ok ok ill try to not ramble too much but this will def be long lol
im not perfect by any means and these r just my opinions so idk don't kill me ig, if u disagree u can say that but be polite
10. OK so in LAST PLACE WE HAVE
Tumblr media
CAPRICORN!
ok put down ur pitch forks and let me talk-
its not a BAD design aesthetically or in concept, I've seen ppl say its kinda leaning into a like, spy vibe or something and I really like the sunglasses and horns!
BUT capricorn never read as a spy to me?? maybe its just me but he always came off as more of a butler parody especially w the tailcoat he gets in this screenshot
i think both capricorn and the stardress suffer from not having a very visually distinct concept so when put together its barely feels like they match at all, its its v clear that putting lucy in a skimpy dress took priority over making a cool design that connected to the story
i dont even love my redesign for this dress anymore bc I feel like I just need to redo Capricorn first to give him a stronger concept then deal w the dress later
OK
9.
Tumblr media
AQUARIUS
this is blasphemy i know but PLEASE HEAR ME OUT
this one is way more personal preferance so if u disagree that's so chill there's just too many things w this dress that bother me
I hate the hair, i really do like grown women w pigtails is already a pet peeve of mine bc its so male gazy to me but combining that with the bikini top and super short skirt just annoys me
and let me say again THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH LIKING THIS but in the larger context of this being the AQUARIUS dress it just doesn't read like her at all!! Sure she has a bikini but she also has v ling hair!
Tumblr media
where capricorn suffers from too little visual concept aquarius has so much of it!! The gold to me reads v fancy and royalty esque which makes sense for her personality, just changing the hair to something more like what aquarius has would do wonders I feel like
plus i hate the green-
my first redesign ever was this dress bc it annoyed me soooo much
Tumblr media
ANYWAY-
8.
Tumblr media
VIRGO
this fit is fine, just boring
but virgos design is also boring and the one interesting thing, her chains, NOT being part of the star dress or alluded to makes me angry
also pigtails so it loses points
NEXT
7.
Tumblr media
ARIES
again its fine but its boring, mainly bc aries' design is also boring so-
idk i wish they went more bo peep with it cuz I feel like that could have been cute
also more fucking pigtails-
6.
Tumblr media
TAURUS
if any fit deserved to have horns its this one TAURUS IS A BULL-
anyway this fits is also fine but damn they could have gone so much harder w the cowgirl thing
i do still stand by my redesign for this stardress bc I think it fits canon without redoing taurus
Tumblr media
she should have a nose ring its just facts-
5.
Tumblr media
GEMINI
love the concept and idea! kinda meh execution
its fine ig but its also like gemini don't look anything like this? which makes this another one were I feel ud have to rework gemini to give them more visual cues u could take
the headdress specfically confuses me since the wiki says its a Kokoshnik but after looking at the wiki for that I found nothing in the history that makes that make sense for this fit?? like concept wise??
its only so high up bc i respect that they did something different and creative with this dress and the way they split the colors on the dress itself is cute, just wish they went more magician or even jester w it
the only pigtails im kinda ok w bc symmetry
(when i say more magician i did it this way:
Tumblr media
4.
Tumblr media
SCORPIO
its cute, i wish the tail was bigger and I see v little reason for the fit to be skin tight when scorpio himself literally has a half skirt thing going on
Tumblr media
i still like this so here, as u can see I liked the idea with the hair and headband combo I just wish they had pushed it further
3.
Tumblr media
SAGITTARIUS
again, cool concept, weird execution?
this one is the only one i feel that THRIVES from not taking any visual cues from the spirit bc honestly his design just sucks I'm sorry ik its supposed to be funny but its just stupid to me idk
however even if i like thaty they did something different AND gave her the bow and arrow, it annoys me still that nothing about the fit reads equestrian or archery? there's SO MANY historical fits they could have used as inspo for this and they just chose not to and that's lazy to me idk
also also i hate that for a while bc of the way the manga was colored it looked like she was fully just wearing underwear bc of the white fabric with nothing on her thighs like that's dumb he's a horse u WANT something there to protect that area when riding
2.
Tumblr media
LEO
its cute, it matched loke design AND personality wise, wish there were more lion elements but overall v cute
Tumblr media
CANCER
i already talked abt my thoughts on this dress here so yeits just good AND the pigtails r ok bc they r meant to mimic cancers silhouette which I really like

Riize MTL to get married first
Riize MTL Get Married First (Based on Astrology)
Tumblr media
Most
Shotaro (His Capricorn Venus is a pretty strong indicator of wanting commitment and marriage but because its conjunct his South Node I feel differently about it. Coupled with his Scorpio Moon, these placements indicate that Shotaro is likely someone who does not actively seek out relationships. He is more of an "If it happens it happens and if it doesn't it doesn't" person. This is because Scorpio and Capricorn are pretty intimate signs and they don't let just anybody into their world so if Shotaro were to get married he would have to trust this person with his life which is something that could take time to do. However in a marriage he would be THE most loyal and committed person husband.
Sungchan (Sungchan would have been first if it weren't for his Leo Venus. Jk. Although Sungchan's Cancer Moon and Juno would be REALLY good for a committed partnership because it indicates that his desire ultimately when getting INTO a relationship is commitment and marriage. His loyalty once in a relationship would be unwavering. However Sungchan would take his TIME committing to someone because his Cancer placements heed to be 100% sure you're about him and him only, and his Leo Venus desperately craves validation from other people for choosing to marry you. And if he doesn't receive that...
Anton: 100% would desire marriage and long term commitment from his partner because of his Taurus Venus which indicates that his main priorities in a relationship would be comfort and financial stability. He also has Juno Trine Venus and ASC which is a plus! However, similar to Wonbin, Anton may has unrealistic expectations for his partner and his marriage which could delay the process of him getting married as it can indicate that he has a habit of viewing his partnerships through rose colored glasses and not seeing them for what they really are (Venus Square Neptune) He needs grounding.
Eunseok (This one surprised me. But Eunseok would actually be a pretty good partner and for the right person a very committed partner. Even though he has an Aries Venus which indicates that he needs constant stimulation, passion, excitement, and attention remain interested in the relationship, his Aries Venus is Conjunct his Juno, which indicates that he has a (hidden) desire to commit to someone when he begins to date them, even if he doesn't express it (and he never will) Because similar to Seunghan, Eunseok may have some insecurities regarding intimacy and communication which could hinder his ability to commit to his partner fully.
Wonbin (Lol have fun getting him to commit! You've gotta be a pretty damn special person to get Wonbin to commit to you, because he doesn't have a type. It's more-so about how HE feels about YOU rather than who you are as a person. His Pisces Venus would want to imprint a persona on you so he becomes obsessed for a while because of his Venus-Pluto Square, but then once that interest fades he's uninterested again. His Venus-Lilith Conjunction indicates that he likes the danger and the thrill of a short but passionate and seemingly soulmate-like relationship but once that thrill wears off, he needs to feel that high again so he looks for it elsewhere. It's going to take a super grounded person to keep Wonbin on Earth and make him commit.
Seunghan (His Venus - Moon Sextile makes him crave the idea of being in a long-term partnership with someone he loves but his Venus - Saturn Square makes him tuck tail and run at the mention of commitment because of fear. Seunghan may also have some insecurities regarding intimacy and the expression of his feelings which could also hinder his ability to committed to someone. His chart indicates that he may lack the ability to embrace deep and uncomfortable situations which is why he prefers to keep everything light and positive.)
Sohee (Similar to Hani, his Venus-Moon Sextile makes him crave the idea of being in a committed partnership but his Venus-Mars Square makes him unable to separate feelings of lust from feelings of love, and his Venus- Jupiter Square makes him constantly want to seek out new experiences to avoid committing to just one. He just wants to have fun.

Being the receptionist at the RPD and you’re always lonely in the big echoey main hall when its work time :(
As everyone filters into their respective offices, Chris sees you eyeing the groups longingly with a little frown on your face and those kicked puppy eyes before shaking it off, checking your watch and turn to your computer. He decides to initiate…
OPERATION: KEEP YOU COMPANY.
STATUS: HIGH PRIORITY
He sits at his desk, today was pretty much a paper work catch up day for everyone, so some S.T.A.R.S members have their heads down and some are idly chatting. Chris could normally be dubbed the chattiest to his desk mates, the one that people gravitate to for some social relief from their work…but not today.
Today any other member would say he was quiet, but all the others didnt see that his desk telephone wasnt on its mount, no, the phone was left speaker-side up on his desk, he had dialled reception and you, the receptionist, have been sat on call with him, primarily in silence. Honestly, both of you are working away and only speaking when you need a breather from writing every now and then but it makes your day so much brighter, even though every now and then you have to blow into the reciever or make a loud enough noise to let Chris know you wanna tell him something due to the phone balancing on his desk while he types/writes. He does the same with a not so quiet whisper of your name, his mouth practically smushed up to the receiver and causing chaotically loud feedback noises that never fail to make you admonish him while snickering along with him at his antics.
When hes not jump scaring you with static-y screams, you overhear the bumble of the S.T.A.R.S office, you eaves-drop and chime in with little comments/quips about whats being said, making Chris chuckle and throw one back, banter always coming natural to you two.
One day when he does this, he keeps prodding you about needing to tell you something but that he needs to do it in person, meaning you’ll have to wait till lunch break or the end of the day. Of course, you’ve been whining and trying to charm, bribe and THREATEN >:) him into telling you, but alas, Chris is stubborn asf. Plus he really wants this to go perfect.
Break time comes and you hear that Chris has hung up, before you have time to be glum about it, the sound was followed by heavy steps unevenly bounding down the stairs to the right of you, the thought of him skipping steps and leaping makes you giggle to yourself and shake your head.
“Something funny, (L/N)?” He rounds your big marble desk with his eyes remaining on you, a fluid move of just his hips and a sidestep as his hands are occupied with a little paper box.
“Oh, because i was laughing? nono, that just happens when i get a real good look at you, you know, you’re reaaal funny looking, Redfield” you hold back a laugh as he feigns shock horror and is holding the box away from you
“Oh..oh HA-HA! You know, its comments like that that are gonna make me keep all these top-notch S.T.A.R.S exclusive doughnuts to myself, even after i went through the trouble of smuggling them for you” He present 3 of some of the yummiest doughnuts you’ve ever seen to you, your eyes dart from him to the doughnuts a couple times before you put on an angelic, heart melting smile, batting your eyelashes.
“But Chris! we wouldn’t want your effort to go to waste now, would we?! Besides, you STARS are already living the good life up there in your super cool office together, throw a girl a bone sometime! it gets lonely down here ya know, All i have is the occasional Rita or Branaugh to talk to, if im lucky :(“
He smiles earnestly with a tilt of his head and squats down to your level, still holding the doughnuts in presentation to you.
“Well lucky you, I came all this way just to talk to you.” you flash a coy smile at him witha raise of your brow as his smile goes from teasing to adoration and he lowers his tone
“I actually have something to ask you”
“It’s not for more staples, is it? Someones gotta teach Irons how to use em cuz he wastes all mine like crazy-“
Chris lets out a boyish laugh and a bow of his head, not expecting you to take a shot at the chief, but he’s back to the task at hand quick.
“I…wanted to ask you out, like this weekend? I just cant get enough of being around you, I kinda miss you even just from clocking in to walking up to the office. Thought about lugging my work down here and just chilling with you just about every time Wesker opens his mouth-“ You both share a laugh “So whaddaya say?”
“I think you’re the sweetest and I cant wait for the weekend.”
He lets out a breath through his smile, staring at you with nothing but pure boyish love before he animatedly looks left to right and plants a whiplash inducing kiss on your cheek and leaves you with the box of sweet treats.
“These definitely sweetened the deal, Christopher! Good play!” you joke to his retreating form, he turns and winks at you all while maintaining his swaggering walk away. Its so obvious he feels like a million bucks right now, and you do too.
You finished the doughnuts and at the bottom of the box, Chris’ personal number is written with a little love heart <3
———————————
I wrote this spontaneously at 1am after seeing Jim and Pam with their little ear piece ass phones when Pam moved office
So wholesome :3 Is it just me though or does reading your own writing feel so JARRING?? like idk if this is shit or im just reading it differently to how you guys will

-
She was going to get info now.
It was late, her parents were asleep, the kids were asleep and she knew Rooster would be up and about since it was morning. The rain hasn’t let up yet and her anxiety was…very high.
Bea (22:30) Roos?Are you busy?
Rooster (22:31)
Hey, gorgeous. What's up? Everything alright?
Bea hesitated before typing her response.
Bea (22:31)
Can we talk? It's important.
Rooster's response came swiftly.
Rooster (22:33)
Of course. Call or text?
Bea took a deep breath, glancing at her phone. She decided on a call, needing the immediacy and intimacy that voice communication provided. As the phone rang, her heart pounded in her chest.
"Hey," Rooster's voice echoed through the line. "What's going on?"
"Roos," Bea began, her voice low to avoid waking her parents, "your message about Miranda… Can you tell me more? I need to understand what's happening."
There was a pause on the other end of the line, a silence filled with unspoken tension. When Rooster finally spoke, his words were measured.
"I can't give you all the details right now, Bea. It's a sensitive situation. Mark might be involved in something that could compromise the squadron's integrity. I need you to be cautious, especially around Miranda. Avoid unnecessary interactions with her, and don't share anything about the investigation with her or anyone else unless instructed otherwise."
Bea's anxiety heightened. The storm outside seemed to mirror the turmoil within the squadron. "Roos, I'm worried. What should I look out for?"
"I wish I had all the answers, Bea. But right now, we're piecing together information. Just trust your instincts, and if something feels off, let me know immediately. Alright?"
The sincerity in Rooster's voice provided a sliver of comfort. Bea nodded, even though he couldn't see it through the phone.
"Okay, Roos. I'll be careful. But promise me you'll keep me in the loop. I can't stand being in the dark about all of this."
"I promise, Bea. As soon as I can share more, I will. Your safety and the kids' safety are my top priorities. If anything happens, call me right away. I mean it."
"I will. Are you all…alright?"
Rooster's sigh traveled through the phone, carrying the weight of unspoken concerns. "I'm hanging in there, Bea. This investigation is turning into a mess, and I can't shake off the feeling that there's more we don't know."
"I trust you, Roos," Beatrice whispered. "Take care of yourself. And thank you for looking out for us."
“Always,gorgeous.”
“Listen, before you go i…” she licks her lips “…will you…tell me if something goes awry on your end? Please?”
“Bea, I promise. If anything goes wrong, I'll let you know. But your safety and the kids' safety are my priority. Alright? I love you.”
"Thank you, Roos," Beatrice murmured, “I love you too.”
After ending the call with Rooster, Beatrice sat in the quiet darkness of her childhood room. The rain continued its relentless dance against the windows, creating a backdrop to her racing thoughts. She couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that lingered in the air, a storm within and beyond.
As she lay in bed, her mind buzzed with questions. Beatrice couldn't fathom the depth of Mark's involvement or what kind of covert operations might be underway. The balance felt fragile, threatening to shatter under the weight of hidden agendas.
She inhales, placing both hands on her stomach as she looks to the ceiling, “Just go to sleep, she tells herself,just go to sleep.”
Beatrice lay in the quiet darkness, listening to the soft patter of rain against the window. Sleep remained elusive, her mind caught in the web of uncertainties while in the adjoining room, her children slept peacefully, oblivious to the complexities unfolding in their mother's world.
She craved answers, a resolution.
And sleep was nowhere in sight. She sighs, turning on the bed while hugging her pillow.
In the quiet hours of the night, Beatrice's mind played host to a series of unsettling scenarios. The potential danger Mark might pose to the squadron, the enigmatic role of Miranda, and their weird obsession with both of them. The weight of the unknown pressed on her chest, making it difficult to find solace in the embrace of sleep.
As the storm outside began to relent, Beatrice decided to rise from the bed and step onto the quiet hallway. The house, enveloped in a serene stillness, felt like a refuge from the tumult of the outside world. She moved towards the kitchen, hoping a warm cup of tea might offer some respite.
The dim light in the kitchen revealed her mom sitting at the table, a faint glow from a small lamp illuminating the room. Bea's mom looked up, sensing her daughter's presence. "Couldn't sleep, dear?"
Beatrice nodded, joining her mom at the table. "Yeah, just too much on my mind. The storm isn't helping either. Why..why are you up,mama?"
Her mom offered a comforting smile, pouring hot water into a teapot. "Oh, you know how it is. Old habits die hard. A cup of tea always helps soothe the mind. Want some?"
Beatrice nodded gratefully. "Yes, please. Maybe it'll convince my brain to take a break for a while."
Bea found herself gazing at the family photos adorning the kitchen walls before sitting down on the kitchen table, smiling when she noticed that her wedding photos and the kids’ birthday photos were already on the wall.
The aroma of chamomile tea filled the air as her mom placed a steaming cup in front of Beatrice. "Here you go, dear. Chamomile, just like when you were a child and had trouble sleeping."
"Thanks, Mom." Beatrice cradled the warm cup in her hands, inhaling the calming scent. "It's funny how some things never change."
Her mom chuckled, settling into the chair across from Beatrice. "Indeed. So, talk to me, dear. What's keeping you awake tonight?"
Beatrice hesitated, unsure of where to begin. "It's just… work stuff from Brad, Mama. Complicated squadron business. I just worry about him."
“Oh, no, is Bradley okay?"
"Yeah,he is…it’s uh. " a pause, “Very complicated and I don’t even know how to begin with this if I’m completely honest with you, you know?” she laughs nervously,looking down at her mug, “It’s just—ugh,” she rubs her eyes, “We should’ve had a break in shitty moments, especially Brad.” God knows he went through too much.
Her mom's expression softened, holding her head up with her palm. "I can see it's tough for both of you. But remember, you're strong,you're not alone in this."
"I know, Mama." she frowns, “I…I just…well,I just wanted to help more,is all.”
Her mom reached across the table, placing a reassuring hand on Beatrice's. "You're doing everything you can, dear. Sometimes, all we can offer is our support and understanding. Bradley is lucky to have you by his side."
"Thanks, Mama. It's just… there's this tension in the squadron, and I can't quite put my finger on it. Like this Miranda situation"
Her mom's eyes narrowed in concern. "Miranda? Is she causing trouble for Bradley?"
Bea winces, she hadn’t told her parents about Miranda, damn "Well…kind of? It seems that way. She's married to one of Brad's colleagues, Mark, and there's something off about their actions. He can't disclose much, but he advised me to stay away from her. I just can't help but worry about what's happening and if Brad is in danger."
Her mom sighed, the lines on her face deepening with worry. “..tesoro I had no idea."
"Yeah, I didn't want to worry you both. Brad is trying to handle it, but it feels like there's more to the story. It… it's all so confusing."
‘What can we do to help? How can we support you and Brad during these tough times?"
Beatrice considered her mom's question, the sincerity in her eyes touching her heart. "Honestly, just having you both here, providing this safe haven for me and the kids, it means the world. I don't know how things will unfold, but knowing I have my family to lean on makes a difference."
Her mom nodded with a proud little grin. "We're here, Bea. And we'll do whatever it takes to help you and Bradley. Can we talk to someone? His superiors."
Oh god.
“Mama…no, no, do not even think about it.”
Beatrice's vehement response made her mom raise an eyebrow, "Tesoro, why not? If Bradley is facing difficulties, his superiors should know. It might be the best way to resolve things."
Jesus.
Beatrice sighed, running a hand through her hair. "They do know, Mama. There's a chain of command, and Bradley is handling it the best he can within the squadron's structure.Let’s not…threaten a vice admiral, please."
Her mom's eyes widened in surprise, her protective instincts kicking in. "A vice admiral? Why haven't they taken decisive action if there's an issue within the squadron? Bradley's safety should be their top priority!"
“Mama.” Beatrice sighed again, grappling with the complexities of military hierarchy. "The Navy has its procedures and investigations, and Rooster—I mean, Bradley—doesn't want to escalate things until he has concrete evidence. Plus, involving more higher-ups could make things more complicated. Rooster's navigating a delicate situation, and I trust him to handle it the best way he knows."
Claudia's expression remained stern, her worry evident. "Tesoro, I understand the chain of command, but if Bradley is in danger, I can't sit idly by. There must be something we can do to ensure his safety."
“I appreciate your concern, Mama. “ her mother’s concern was making Bea sprout gray hairs “But trust me, Bradley is taking steps to resolve the situation. Getting involved at a higher level could complicate things, and we don't want that." she pauses “…right?”
Claudia's expression softened, her concern still evident but tempered by trust in her daughter's judgment. "Tesoro, I just worry about both of you. But if Bradley believes this is the best course of action, then I'll…respect that. Just promise me that you'll keep me updated."
Her mother truly considered facing a vice-admiral, amazing.
Beatrice nodded, grateful for her mom's understanding. "I promise, Mama. And having you both here means the world to me."
Her mom smiled, reaching across the table to squeeze Beatrice's hand. "We'll always be here for you, tesoro. Family is the anchor that keeps us steady in the storm." she smiles before sipping her own tea, looked out the window at the relentless rain.
"You know, tesoro, storms are tough, unpredictable. But they also bring a certain kind of cleansing. Maybe sometimes we need the storm to wash away what's been hidden, to clear the path for something new."
Beatrice blinked, the weight of Claudia's words settling in. “What?”
“For example, that time when Michael lied to me about their grades and tried to bribe you with candy so you wouldn’t tell me haha…”
Beatrice couldn't help but chuckle at her mom's playful recounting of a childhood memory. "Oh, the candy bribery incident. I remember that. You weren't fooled for a second, Mama."
Claudia laughed, a warm and comforting sound that echoed through the cozy kitchen. "Of course not, tesoro. I knew something was up the moment Michael handed me a candy bar with an innocent smile. Just so he could figure out what I knew and if I knew."
Wait.
Beatrice’s smile dropped and something snapped in her head…that was what Miranda was doing. Trying to get information out of Bea,about Rooster… “Holy shit.”
“Please don’t cuss,tesoro.”
Beatrice's realization hit her like a lightning bolt. Miranda wasn't just trying to gather information; she was attempting to play a manipulative game, "Mama, you're right," Beatrice exclaimed, her eyes wide with the sudden revelation. "Miranda is trying to pull something out of me."
Claudia raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued. "What do you mean, tesoro?"
“I…” she pauses, how to explain this, “I…it’s…just…something I’ll have to share with the others about.” and for the first time in weeks she felt unbelievably strong.

yknow ive been thinking again lately about how i would like to see more realism in batman content, both canon and fandom, but not the Dark And Gritty kind. the kind thats like.
yes actually he is highly emotionally intelligent and does understand himself quite well and has just accepted that he is A Freak and decided to roll with it rather than being so horrifically emotionally repressed that he can barely even acknowledge that what hes doing is based in trauma. hes been in therapy since he was like 9 years old. he studies human psychology extensively both for himself and so he has better odds of predicting whats gonna go wrong and how when hes up against a rogue or negotiating a hostage situation or whatever. he meditates for two hours a day and is fully capable of keeping a healthy handle on his anger 98% of the time. he's nice to people and fun to be around and sincerely caring. if he were just Always Right but super isolated and reactive and cruel and controlling everyone would fucking hate him and no it wouldnt be enough to sustain his crimefighting activities, thats a stupid lone wolf fuckboy fantasy
he has a strict 9pm bedtime that he only breaks for mandatory WE/brucie activities or emergencies. if theres a gala where he needs to rub shoulders with ppl to gather intel or keep his company running he'll do it but hes Not Happy about being out until midnight and cuts out early as often as possible, and when hes chasing the joker around until 3am hes lamenting his poor sweet circadian rhythm that did nothing wrong ever in its life the whole time. when hes batmanning hes expending a fuckton of energy and he needs to make it up and have a well-established routine to counteract the punishment hes putting his body through. on a similar note, this man is building braces and compression into his suit and doing extensive physical therapy exercises every day of his life bc he wants to have helpful little things like "knees" and "shoulders" by the time hes 40, and hes probably eating a small farms worth of assorted leafy greens and several chickens per day
he is simply Never drunk and he doesnt actually have that much sex. hes really really good at faking a) being drunk and b) getting a high priority phone call from lucius the minute someone hes making out with starts trying to get his shirt off. he also does a lot of "hey look i gotta get out of here with my reputation intact, can we help each other out and pretend we're gonna go fuck?" kind of negotiating with ppl (see: his 9pm bedtime, plus sometimes hes gotta slip away from an event to be sneaky), which is how a lot of the more wild stories about him start circulating lol. this is a man who's regularly getting gassed/injected/etc with highly experimental substances created by maniacs trying to torment or kill him, he does NOT want substances like drugs or alcohol in his body that could potentially interact with them, and the last thing he needs is to be dealing with a pregnancy or sti scare. plus if he can play it safe with someone and have them think of him as a nice and trustworthy dude who just has a bonkers reputation, all the better for his batman activities!
idk i just feel like theres unexplored potential in a lot of that stuff bc so much of recent batman mythos is like HES SO HARDCORE AND CAN DO ANYTHING AND HES ALWAYS RIGHT CAUSE HES SO PARANOID AND DISRESPECTFUL OF PPL AND THEIR BOUNDARIES BUT ITS OKAY BC ITS IN THE NAME OF BEING RIGHT and im like. okay. gotta admit that i dont rly find that believable or in line with my values. can we talk about WE's sweet sweet employee benefits package and bruce designing his suit to take most of the impact off his knees when he jumps off a roof. members of the jl discovering that he gives shockingly balanced and insightful advice about their mundane personal problems. bruce printing his own batsymbol envelopes to leave people cash after he misaims his grappling hook and breaks their window. things of that nature.

HEY KING, ITS BEEN A HOT MINUTE
Been super busy with school (my grades are SUFFERING) plus studying for the ACT, PLUS trying to figure out what i want to do with my life so thats.... fun :)
Logged on to Tumblr to discover the prequel oneshot hungerau thing and ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH! keep at it dude, we're all cheering you on <3
-🐛
Hey bug anon!!! :D
Oh my gosh that sounds like so much on your plate dude 😭😭😭😭 GODSPEED BRAVE SOLDIER I AM ROOTING FOR YOU!!!!!! also im so glad you liked the oneshot!!! I worked really hard on it and i am treasuring every comment 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Also im hoping you dont mind a bit of unsolicited reassurance, but your comment about figuring out your life really vividly reminded me of when i was in high school trying to figure out college and my career and life in general, and just. Couldnt come up with anything. And i still remember how fuckoff scary that felt, so i just wanna reassure you, as someone who is a few years shy of 30 and never even ended up going to college, from the bottom of my heart you do not have to figure things out for yourself yet. I know there is so so much pressure surrounding that concept, but your life and priorities can drastically change as you grow. Sometimes you dont settle into what you want to do until you're far older, and thats okay!!! In fact thats genuinely the norm-- i didnt know i wanted to be a professional editor until about 6 years ago. And in the future i might decide i want to do something else, too, and pursue that instead!!
You never have to settle on One Path for yourself. Things change, people change, and everything is in constant fluid motion. Its okay not to know what you want out of your life-- genuinely, at this point in time youve barely even lived it. Ive barely lived mine-- im only just now hitting a point where i can really think about the longterm and put down lasting roots. Give yourself the space to figure it out organically, and i promise you as someone who has gone through this exact same thing, it will ultimately turn out okay❤️❤️❤️❤️ its a big learning curve, but you arent alone, and there are countless people out there who will be willing to help you as you go along :]

you went on a big asking spree asking about everyone's favorite games, but I'm curious... did you have a favorite album, TV show, or movie this year?
an EXCELLENT question! but my answers my be a little disappointing, because...
Favorite Movie of 2023
i don't... really watch movies? they don't capture my interest or investment like games do. this isn't for lack of trying over the years, i've been exposed to many different genres; i just don't click with the format, i guess. i think of them like the average boomer thinks of games – they're cute little distractions and not much else.
there's definitely a few movies that i like and stand out as formative memories, i just don't go out of my way to watch more. even before the pandemic i would only ever go to the theaters like once a year, and for most of the pandemic i can't say i watched anything even digitally.
...but that did change this year! my partner and i watched both Sonic movies and the Mario movie at home, and of the three i can safely say i enjoyed Sonic 2 the most! i like what it was trying to do with its two stories intertwined, and it gave Sonic and friends a lot of time to shine both in action and characterization. plus the finale was super cool~
i do have a handful of films i want to watch one day... but it's kind of a "whenever i feel like it" basis. the ghibli films are high on the list, as are the monty python films and the truman show. maybe i could revisit ferris bueller's day off now that i'm an adult...?
Favorite TV Show of 2023
...i also don't really watch tv?? am i boring???
i mean, historically, i've gotten more into tv than movies. i like the long continuous plot threads, i like getting to know characters in detail, i like slice of life and comedy and cartoons. i have fond memories of watching sonic x, spongebob, survivor, and mythbusters growing up!
but like, as an adult i've never seen the office, or steven universe, or adventure time... and i'm in no rush to, they're just not really priority for me. i can't even think of other shows i might want to watch. idk!
i tried to watch some anime at one point but that didn't really do me either? i guess i had some fun watching squid girl a few years back... i think i just get understimulated by just watching things, vs playing them.
confusingly, you know what i do get into? livestreams and let's plays. so my weird, cop-out answer of "favorite series" is that i've been really enjoying Chuggaaconroy's let's play of pokemon bw2. his let's plays have gotten me caught up with a series that i wasn't "allowed" to play as a kid... i guess that's part of why watching someone play a game isn't as understimulating to me?
Favorite Album of 2023
you can probably guess where this is going – i don't really listen to music that plays on the radio or gets recommended by spotify. i have good reason for this one though: music with lyrics is overstimulating to me in specific circumstances, like when i'm working (always) or driving (the only time i'd use the radio).
but wait, movies are understimulating, even though there's talking... and music with lyrics is overstimulating, even though there's nothing to watch... argh! i don't even understand myself!!
either way i usually put on video game music, because that helps me focus at work, and (usually) doesn't have lyrics in it. i'm aware there's plenty of great instrumental music outside of just games, but games already have so much variety and quality to their osts – i've rarely ever had to seek out more! my music collection is already big enough!
my favorite album to listen to this year has been the music that plays in the cyberspace stages of Sonic Frontiers. the full game's ost is MASSIVE and incredibly diverse in styles, but the hardcore EDM of the cyberspace stages is extremely my style. and the remixes they added in the dlc are some of the best ones! been listening to the full playlist multiple times a week all year to power through some rough work days, and it still hasn't gotten old 💖

Hey guys, I was thinking here and gosh, the Pokémon Anime really looked at some strong Pokémon and said "have this poorly build moveset" didn't it?
I mean, we all know they can be pretty sloppy with the moves' effects and what Pokémon should be capable to learn them and such... But then sometimes they would be careful to select the moveset of an important Pokémon just so they could deliberately give a really bad moveset to them AKKAKAKKAKAK
Doubts? Come with me and remember five strong Pokémon with really bad movesets listed in the rant below:
5. Ash's Charizard's Unova Return moveset
Tumblr media
Flamethrower, Slash, Wing Attack & Dragon Tail.
Starting with one that was for a long time the strongest Pokémon ever owned by our favorite 10 years old kid, Charizard. Who didn't get hyped when heard he was returning to the anime in Unova? Who didn't jump on their chairs watching his battle against Iris' Dragonite? I know, me too...
In fact that's not really a bad moveset at all, Flamethrower is the most iconic Fire-Type move for a reason and has always been one move Ash's Charizard always kept, Wing Attack brings a STAB to his second type, what is always welcome, Slash has a high critical-ratio and Dragon Tail brings a good response to the, by the time sovereign, Dragon-Type
But then... C'mon it's Gen V!! Wing Attack is an early route bird move, why is it here when he could have Air Slash? Why not give him Shadow Claw, bringing the same effect of Slash but with Ghost-Type, bringing two advantages to the fire lizard's set? Slash was not super effect against any type after all. Why not give either Dragon Pulse or Dragon Claw, that were stronger Dragon Tail and had no secondary effect to the anime ignore?
And that's just basing on this moveset, but our Charizard have already counted with more powerful moves even before go to train in the Charicific Valley, like Submission, that would deal well with the Rock-Types, and after training with the Charizards from the Charicific Valley he always came back with stronger moves, like Steel Wing, other that was a perfect counter to his main weakness: the Rock-Type, or even the Overheat, one of the strongest Fire-Type moves he can learn and that he used against an all mighty Articuno. I would even say Dragon Breath was a good call to keep, same base power as Dragon Tail but with a side effect not always ignored by the anime... Why not bring any of these moves back or bring some of the strongest like Solar Beam and Iron Tail? It because I don't want start a rant about why he deserved Blast Burn as a treat since Pignite got Fire Pledge.
Anyways, Ash's Charizard surely deserved a better moveset to his return in Unova.
4. Ash's Greninja's final moveset
Tumblr media
Water Shuriken, Double Team, Aerial Ace & Cut
I podered a lot about who between Greninja and Charizard got the worst moveset, but I think now is clear that Greninja got the worst between these two.
Double Team is an OK move, in the games it can become really dangerous if the opponent manage to successfully use it more than twice and the anime does extract its nature well and Aerial Ace is undoubtedly the best choice of this set: it hits super effective in Grass-, Fighting- and Bug- Types, three weaknesses covered by a single move (Learn, Charizard😤).
But then... Water Shuriken have as advantage the fact it is a multi-strike move and as disadvantage the fact it is a multi-strike move 🙃 generally are 2 to 3 weak hits that barely deals some decent damage, but with some luck you can get up to 5 hits, what makes a considerable damage plus, each one have its own chance to be a critical hit, one more advantage is the priority of the move (although in the anime it is fairly ignored '3') and one advantage very specific to Ash's Greninja is that this move specifically receives a singular boost from the Ash-Greninja transformation... All of this to say: not that good, but since it's Ash's Greninja and the AniPoke's case, good in this specific case...
And then comes Cut... Cut... CUT!!! The weak HM move, the main reason why we dedicate a separated Pokémon to learn the HM moves because of how much weak this move is, such a bad move that when they distributed Ash's Greninja to the games they made the on point choice to switch for Night Slash: far more powerful AND a STAB, what makes me wonder why didn't they ever made him learn in the anime.
The worst part of this moveset is that it's kept ever since Greninja evolves and is never changed, not even when some episodes were perfect to this, such like the episode pre-rematch vs Wufric, the exchange of Cut by Night Slash would be just a perfect match to Ash and Greninja mastering the Ash-Greninja form... WE WERE ROBBED!!! THERE'S NO REASON TO NOT GIVE HIM A BETTER MOVE!!!
Want Greninja's moves to resemble ninja weapons? Make the Night Slash a katana! Wants him to continue to make a kunai because it's ninjier? Make it be a purplish~blackish kunai! Easy like that! Night Slash would be the perfect evolution to Cut AND the Anime never limited itself to the 'HM moves can't be forgotten' rule before, and surely didn't stop it there 😤
Sorry Greninja, but Cut I can't forgive...
3. Sawyer's Sceptile's final moveset
Tumblr media
Frenzy Plant, Leaf Storm, Leaf Blade & Dragon Claw
Well, the worst part is that each of these moves are great individually, but the fact this moveset combos Leaf Storm, move that will lower the Special Attack Stat after every use, thus weakening itself, and Frenzy Plant, move categorized as Special Attack that makes the Pokémon vunerable after its usage, makes it fall really down. GOSH, Sawyer was hyped as an observer and great strategist, WHAT HECK WAS HE THINKING WHEN PUT THESE TWO MOVES TOGETHER???!!!
Why did he think it was a good idea to put both moves together??? If it wasn't the anime, after a time the Frenzy Plant would be dealing damage of a Leafage but still forcing a recharge turn *facepalms*
Leaf Blade and Dragon Claw being together are the best choice however as they are two strong STABs + they're physical, what means repeated usage of Leaf Storm is not weakening them. But still, three STABs of the same type and one of the secondary (as Mega Evolution only) is not that genius thing you'd expect of somebody who successfully used a Slaking in the league.
Really, a Thunder Punch to deal with the Flying-Types or Brick Break or Focus Blast to deal with the Ice-Types or even Iron Tail to deal with Ice- and Fairy-Types would be far a wiser choice (Also Mega Sceptile's quirk of launching its tail would bring a really interesting way to use this last suggested move btw)... Take your bronze medal Sceptile.
2. Cynthia's Garchomp's Masters Tournament moveset
Tumblr media
Draco Meteor, Scale Shot, Dragon Claw & Stealth Rock
Then you look to the other Pokémon Cynthia brought to the Masters Tournament and realize they all got better movesets 👁️👄👁️
There's no way this choice was not thinking in nerf Garchomp because GOSH, three STABs of one single out of the TWO Types this pokémon have + Stealth Fucking Rock of all moves... WHY?!?! DIDN'T THEY THINK WE TRUSTED ASH'S SKILLS ENOUGH?!?! (maybe y'all didn't, but that's not excuse!! THEY WERE GOING TO PROVE YOU WRONG ANYWAY!!!)
The only well thought on this is that Draco Meteor, move that reduces Special Attack, was along just physical moves... But then all Dragon-Type moves, Cynthia's lucky Ash didn't bring Mr. Mime to this tournament... But she's Cynthia, she SHOULDN'T have to count on luck, SHE NEVER NEEDED THAT BEFORE!! SHE ALWAYS HAD MOVES TO COVER!!
Her Garchomp's very first moveset was already far more covered than that with Dig, Dragon Rush, Giga Impact and Brick Break, one of Games' Cynthia's Garchomp moveset is basically the same but with Earthquake... Why not bring these moves??! Why wasn't the Sinnoh Champion's Ace ever allowed to have any Ground-Type STAB afterwards?? Why wasn't one of the most OP Pokémon known by the Pokémon Fans allowed to be OP?? Where are the cover moves?
The worst is that the last move in this set is Stealth Rock... WHO THE HECK USES GARCHOMP AS A HAZARD SETTER???
Garchomp is an offensive Pokémon, an attacker, the right way to use one is teach them the four moves that are the best STABs and covers in your vision and press A to obliterate your enemies! That's what I do, that's what many players do, that's what Games' Cynthia does, THAT'S EVEN WHAT DEBUT CYNTHIA DID 😤😤😤 GARCHOMP'S NOT A HAZARD SETTER. THEY DON'T MATCH IN ANY ANGLE WITH STEALTH FUCKING ROCK!!
If you want any status move, you add a Sandstorm or a Swords Dance, they will match a LOT more with your Garchomp, not kidding, Stealth Rock was used in the worst way AND time possibly.
Funnily enough the choice to teach Scale Shot was probably a way of the anime to portray Cynthia as updated and aware towards the new moves BUT THEY COULD'VE BROUGHT STOMPING TANTRUM OR SCORCHING SAND THAT WOULD BE MORE CONVINCING AS IT RECEIVES STAB FROM GARCHOMP'S SECONDARY TYPE!! 😤😤
So sad considering how diversified are the moves Garchomp can learn... This moveset deserved gold medal in being the worst... But unfortunately they made one worse 🫥
1. Stephan's Zebstrika's Unova League moveset
Tumblr media
Double Edge, Stomp, Facade & Giga Impact
There's no words to define how shitty this moveset is, if Sawyer's Sceptile and Cynthia's Garchomp at least rely on STABs, Stephan's Zebstrika DOESN'T EVEN COUNT ON IT!!!
Individually they are all good moves: Stomp is fairly strong and can cause the opponent to flinch, Facade is also fairly strong and causes massive damage under negative status, and Double Edge & Giga Impact both cause massive damage anyway despite their respective backlashes.
All Normal-Type moves though, so he doesn't receive STAB in any of these, he also doesn't have the Scrappy ability to be able to stand against Ghost-Types, so a single Litwick could obliterate him, he can't land super effective hits, don't count on it, he can't cause any status, he can't recover health, he can't raise his speed since he forgot Flame Charge, this moveset is so genius that a Litwick would have no problem sweeping the floor with this poor zebra, someone save this pokémon 😤
Moral of the story: Just find a Grass-Type if you need to deal with your rival's Water/Ground-Type, the way you'll nerf your Electric-Type is shameful. Who's gonna give his plastic gold medal?

Photo
Tumblr media
How to take a photo like this:
You will need
- A camera that can shoot RAW and take exposures longer than 30 seconds in manual mode OR a cable/remote release for your camera and the ability to time the exposure yourself
- A reasonably fast lens, call it f/2.8 or faster. Remember, f/4 is 2x the exposure time of f/2.8 and f/5.6 is 4x the exposure time. So pick fast glass if you can!
- Some photo editor that handles your camera’s raw files
- A solid tripod
- An overcast night
- A place with very little light pollution
- (Optional) your partner to help you be brave in the dark and/or kisses
Now follow these steps
0. Shoot RAW! The processing your camera does on jpeg shots will probably ruin super long exposures, so RAW is recommended. If you’re unfamiliar with editing raws , shoot RAW + JPEG. Then you’ll at least have the RAW files later if you pick up raw editing.
1. Take your camera and tripod to a very dark spot to take your photo. Avoid light pollution. Look at the horizon, if you see light patches, face some other direction. Those light patches will blow out in a super long exposure.
2. Pick a subject that is interesting because of its perspective or geometry. Remember, the light will be very flat so the composition needs to be interesting!
3. Set up your tripod & pop your camera on these. For extra stability, don’t extend the last leg section of your tripod.
4. Turn on your camera and set a shutter delay. Usually 2 or 10 seconds. This will help with any shake your introduce by pressing the shutter. Initial shake matters less for very long exposures, but best to avoid it you can. Optional with a cable release.
5. Turn off Long Exposure Noise Reduction in your camera. I know this sounds backwards, but with the setting on your camera will take a second exposure of the same length as your shot and combine the two exposures to reduce noise. If you’re doing an 8 minute exposure, that means you’ll need to wait 16 minutes total between shots. There is plenty of good noise reduction software these days. Do it in post instead!
6. Set your camera to manual focus. If your subject is very dark, your camera typically cannot see it. You’ll need to estimate how far away it is and check your camera’s distance scale to ensure focus is correct.
HACK: If you think manual focus can go kick rocks, use a flashlight or headlamp to illuminate your subject, focus on it, then set your camera to manual focus to keep that focus. Turn off the flashlight or headlamp.
7. Set your camera to manual mode. Most cameras will only let you set very long shutter speeds in manual mode (this is due to limitations of camera meters). We’ll mostly be fiddling with shutter speed and ISO since our aperture will be set wide open.
NOTE: Check Aperture Priority mode first. Set your aperture to f/2.8 or as wide open as your lens goes. ISO to Auto or the max setting you’re happy with the results from (ISO 6400 for my Fuji cameras). If your camera gives you a shutter speed that isn’t completely maxed out (usually 30 or 60 seconds), then it isn’t dark enough. Find somewhere darker.
8. Start from ISO 800 and a shutter speed of at least 2 minutes. Take your first test shot. Usually this comes out seriously underexposed, but it can give you can idea where to go. Plus, waiting longer than 2 minutes is annoying.
- if you’re using a cable release, set your camera to Bulb mode and time your exposure time as desired.
- if your test shot is over exposed, lower the ISO a stop or two and try again
- if your test shot is under exposed, you’ve hit the jackpot. Start increasing your exposure time for some sick, awesome pics.
If the exposure times are excruciating, your can bump your ISO too. However, high ISO noise gets worse with longer exposures. So your image will look considerably worse at higher ISOs. Therefore, longer exposure times and faster lenses are preferred when possible.
Watch out for moving stuff. At super long exposure times, any movement matters. If it’s windy, the motion can ruin a photo. A little bit of motion can add some painterly vibes to the photo.
9. Editing! Your camera probably got the night time white balance wrong, so you’ll probably need to fiddle with it for your photo to look how you want. Other settings are up to you!
I hope you enjoyed this excruciating long explanation on how to take a night time super long exposures. Good luck out there!

These beauties not only offer reliability and fuel efficiency but also come with low maintenance costs—perfect for those of us who want to keep our wallets happy while still hitting the road. Let’s kick things off with the Honda Civic, particularly the models from 2012 to 2015. If you’re looking for a car that’s practically synonymous with reliability, this is it. The Civic has a stellar reputation for longevity, and let’s not forget about its impressive fuel economy. You can expect to get around 28 miles per gallon in the city and up to 39 on the highway, depending on the model. Plus, they hold their resale value like nobody’s business! Maintenance? Easy-peasy. Parts are affordable, and you can find a mechanic who knows their way around a Civic without breaking the bank. Next up, we have the Toyota Corolla, also from 2012 to 2015. This car is like the dependable friend who always shows up on time. The Corolla is known for its exceptional reliability and smooth ride, making it a great choice for anyone who wants a hassle-free driving experience. Fuel efficiency is solid here too, usually hovering around 26 city and 34 highway. And let’s not forget about maintenance costs—Toyota parts are generally affordable, so you won’t be sweating bullets every time you need an oil change. Now, if you’re someone who craves a little sportiness in your drive, the Mazda3 from 2012 to 2015 might just be your jam. This car combines fun handling with solid fuel economy. You can expect about 27 miles per gallon in the city and up to 37 on the highway. It’s got high reliability ratings, plus it’s stylish and modern—definitely a head-turner. If you want a budget-friendly option that doesn’t skimp on the driving experience, the Mazda3 is worth considering. Moving on to the Ford Fusion, specifically the models from 2012 to 2015. This midsize sedan offers a comfortable interior and smooth handling, which is perfect for longer drives or family trips. The Fusion also boasts good fuel efficiency; you’re looking at around 22 miles per gallon in the city and 34 on the highway. And let’s talk about trunk space—if you’ve got kids, pets, or just a lot of stuff, you’ll appreciate the ample cargo area. It’s a practical choice that doesn’t compromise on comfort. Now, let’s talk about the Honda Accord, particularly the models from 2011 to 2014. This car is roomy and reliable, striking a balance between performance and fuel economy. You can expect around 21 miles per gallon in the city and 34 on the highway. The Accord has a reputation for long-lasting engines, so if you’re looking for something that can stick around for years, this is a solid pick. Plus, you’ll have plenty of space for passengers and cargo alike. If fuel economy is your top priority, you can’t go wrong with the Toyota Prius from 2011 to 2013. This hybrid is a top choice for anyone looking to maximize their miles per gallon. Even as an older model, you can still expect impressive efficiency and reliability. The Prius typically gets around 51 miles per gallon in the city and about 48 on the highway. It’s a great option if you’re commuting a lot or just want to save on gas. Plus, it’s environmentally friendly, which is a bonus!
