Honey - Teaching You How to Play Darts

🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.•°•.🐇.

I apologize for not posting this in a timely manner, this ask was scheduled to be posted after the Kalim ask and I was having a lot of trouble with that one. Anyway, I decided to make this one into a oneshot instead of having it be Headcannons. Thank you for requesting something for Nanbaka, it's one of my favorite animes/mangas at the moment. —Benny🐰

"Huh? Darts..?"

[Name] asks, tilting his head to the side and making his somewhat long hair sway with the motion.

It was during lunch that Honey, along with Trois, had appeared in front of the eating h/c-ette and suggested playing a game of darts. The purple-pink-haired inmate nodded proudly, taking a seat next to his boyfriend.

"Yes, Darts! You remember the prize for winning inmates at the New Year's tournament?—"

He asked, leaning an arm on the table and receiving a soft nod from [Name].

"—Well, that number eleven from building thirteen had a game room be built there as his prize. They have a few dart boards in there, so I wanted to ask Supervisor Kiji to let us go so I could teach you how to play!"

[Name] raised a brow and set his chopsticks down on the edges of his bowl, pausing to finish his meal in favor of answering his handsome boyfriend. He rested his head on the palm of his hand and closed his eyes shut for a moment, shielding them from the cafeteria's overhead lights.

"Hm. Thirteen's supervisor is okay with sharp objects like darts being in the hands of inmates? Is that even allowed? It sounds irresponsible..."

The h/c-ette mutters, picking up his cup and taking a sip of his tea while reopening his eyes and sending a half-lidded side glance to the man seated next to him.

Honey chuckles and puts an arm around the taller's shoulder, pulling him in close. He leans in and presses a kiss to the corner of his lips; ignoring Trois' catcalling in the background.

"That's true~... but you'll go, yes? For me?"

He hums as he rests his head on the e/c-eyed man's shoulder; bringing his other hand up to play with a few locks of hair.

[Name] lets out a huff from his nose as he narrows his eyes for a second before sighing and gently laying his head on top of Honey's.

"Hm... fine."

He mutters quietly, pressing a kiss on his boyfriend's forehead.

"This is the game room? Isn't this a bit... excessive?"

[Name] mutters from his position behind Kiji, Trois, and Honey; a comical sweatdrop slowly going down his head as he observes the room that the four of them had just entered.

The game room was very spacious and welcoming; a large lounge area with wide sofas was occupied by an inmate who seemed to be reading what looked like tonight's dinner menu and another who was taking the plastic off of a couple of card games. Off to the side was a sit-in bar that presumably served nonalcoholic drinks, this is still a prison after all. A few arcade games, one of which being played by a bandaged inmate with green hair, lined the wall, and a nice billiards table stood in the middle of the room.

And, of course, a few dart booths were there, just as Honey had said, sitting just opposite the lounging area.

It was far too grand to be here in a prison in [Name]'s opinion, but this is Nanba we're talking about here. The entire prison island glimmered like a freshly polished diamond, there's not much that seems out of place when it comes to that.

"They're over here, ignore those three and let's get to throwing some darts!"

Honey cheers; breaking h/c-ette from his observation as he takes them by the hand and drags them over to the unoccupied dart booths.

Stopping in front of them, the purple-pink-haired man releases [Name]'s hand and turns to the booth, and squats down, opening the large cabinet doors at the bottom and taking out the needed box of darts and board. He then stands, closing the cabinet and handing the taller the box before fixing the board into place.

"Alright. Now, I want you to show me how you throw; I need to know how good you are first."

The handsome man directed, gently taking the box from the taller's hands and sliding it open to reveal the darts inside.

[Name] sighed quietly, hoping his lover couldn't hear it as he hesitantly pinched a dart between his fingers and nervously took aim at the board. He threw a few glances at Honey, each time receiving an encouraging nod back before he finally threw it;—

Pomph

—it was way off. Sticking out of the printed three and ever so slowly slipping out before it clattered onto the hard wooden lip that sat atop the cabinet.

Honey chuckles from beside the h/c-ette; taking out another and holding it beside his face, just about eye level before handing it off to the taller and gesturing for him to try again.

[Name] huffs as he replicates his boyfriend's movements and prepares to throw the dart once again before you're stopped by Honey as he sets the box to the side and makes his way behind him.

"Move this leg forward just a bit and when you throw, don't let your wrist go limp."

The shorter directs from behind, resting his hands on the e/c eyed's waist after he corrects their posture.

"Hm."

[Name] hummus as he glances back at his lover with lightly warmed cheeks before turning his focus back to the board.

Following the earlier example and directions he was given, the h/c-ette aims the board, holding the dart at eye level before throwing it forward.—

Pomph

—Ending up just three inches shy of the bullseye in the middle.

"Good job, Baby! I knew you could do it!"

Honey cheers from his new place in front of [Name] before he wraps his arms around their waist and stands on his toes to place a loving kiss on their lips.

The taller looks away with burning cheeks before their moment is interrupted by the loud exclamations of the surrounding inmates and two supervisors that they seemed to have forgotten about. Well, barring Trois of course, he only gave the two a thumbs up and a smirk before turning back to the billiards table.

They turned the rest out; though they could faintly hear the loud questions from building thirteen's cell thirteen and the screams of building thirteen's supervisor towards their own.

What a day.

tl;dr: covid is a vascular disease, not a respiratory illness. it can affect your blood and every organ in your body. every time you're reinfected, your chances of getting long covid increase.

avoid being infected. reduce the amount of viral load you're exposed to.

the gap between what the scientific community knows and ordinary people know is massive. collective action is needed.

What would ACAB be in the runes? Tryna get plausible deniability at work as a leftist lmfao.

In the oldest runes, it would be ᚨᚲᚨᛒ. A lot of people will be able to read that so it might not be as stealth as you're looking for.

In Old English runes, it would be ᚪᚳᚪᛒ. Fewer people will know that that says and means.

You get the most options with Viking runes, which in general people are the worst at recognizing. ᛅᚴᛅᛒ or ᛆᚴᛆᛒ is the basic, but you can also disguise it a little more by using variants of the b-rune like ᚮ (normally an o-rune, but they used it for b in places like the Isle of Man). The ᚴ rune is a k rune, but they did sometimes use dedicated c runes as well, a fairly common one later on in Iceland is an upside-down ᛏ (Unicode has ᛎ but I'm talking about a full-height one).

You could also use another language, e.g. in Icelandic it's Allar löggur eru svín (literally 'all cops are pigs') which the acronym in runes would be ᛆᛚᛁᛌ or ᛆᛚᛂᛌ. In Swedish it's alla snutar är svin, ᛆᛌᛅᛌ. Pretty much nobody would have any idea what any of those are supposed to mean.

In case this post looks bad on your browser:

If you're trying to be super sneaky, these are all ways of hiding messages in runes:

Kit Mora has been missing since November 2021. The then-16-year-old teen was reported missing to authorities in Omak, Washington during April 2022. However, Kit's family and friends stated that they have not seen or heard from Kit since November 2021. 

Kit is indigenous and identifies as nonbinary. They were adopted by a family from Yakima at the age of 4 after Kit's mother, Lorie Sue Mora, lost custody due to reports of abuse and neglect. Years later, when Kit was 16, they reconnected with their biological mother. In June 2021, Kit decided to move in with Lori Sue and their biological siblings. 

According to reports, Kit's loved ones soon became concerned with the way Lori Sue treated them. A 2023 report from The Cooper Point Journal states that "Kit reached out to their friends about how Lorie Sue wasn’t respecting their transgender identity or sexual orientation." Various other reports state that Kit became the sole caretaker to their younger siblings, leading some to question if Lori Sue had invited Kit to move in so they could care for the kids rather than reconnect as a family unit. 

Additionally, Kit and Lori Sue were reportedly fighting often in the months leading up to Kit's disappearance. A Facebook page dedicated to spreading awareness about Kit's disappearance states that Kit contemplated moving back in with their adoptive family after arguments with Lori Sue, but Lori Sue always convinced them to stay. 

Suddenly, in November 2021, Kit fell out-of-touch with their family and friends. A wellness check was conducted, but the Omak PD officers who completed the check fell short in many ways. No body camera footage was recorded, and the officers left without seeing Kit in person. Lori Sue told police that Kit was okay and that they had blocked their adoptive family because they were abusive towards them. The police apparently accepted this story, and no missing persons was filed.

Finally, in April 2022, Kit's missing persons case was finally opened. At that time, Lori Sue reportedly told police that Kit ran off with a significant other. However, Kit's loved ones do not believe Lori Sue's story. A lot of online speculation points to Lori Sue knowing what happened to Kit, but at this time, she has not been charged with anything related to their disappearance.

Kit remains missing today. Their loved ones are searching for answers. There is a monetary reward available for anyone who can lead to Kit's whereabouts. If you have any information that could help the investigation, please contact the Omak PD at 509-826-0383.

Germanic Paganism Sources

I can’t list these sources without first going through a million different caveats. I’m going to keep this introduction brief due to the length of this post, but be aware that these sources have been subjected to Christianization, speculation, mistranslation, etc. Many of these sources were copied down by Christian authors who may have altered the truth in order to fit their perspective. Some may have vague terms or phrases that we can no longer understand because they existed in an entirely new context. Essentially, approach all of these texts from a speculative and critical lens. This doesn’t mean we can’t decipher the truth. We can decipher the truth by comparing texts from the same time, countries, etc with each other and finding the common threads. Pairing these attestations with archaeological records is also immensely helpful and I hope to compile a list of archaeological records some time in the future. You can find many free records and studies by simply typing, for example, “anglo-saxon burials archaeological excavations.”

This list consists of records of various Germanic peoples, histories, as well as semi-legendary sagas and poetry. By exploring a variety of texts instead of just ethnographic works, we can understand the history, culture, customs, traditions, values, and more. These are all crucial in approaching paganism with the goal of accurate and thorough understanding. I wanted to focus primarily on sources from close to the pagan period, but I have also included current sources in the grimoires and runes section. For the contemporary study of Germanic paganism, I always recommend Stephen Flowers!
