[carrotcakecrumble]

Girlies i saw pookie (Michael) bear (Sheen) with @inactivemcgee what a lovely little day

[andragoras-in-vanity]

genuinely, how do people with fibro hold jobs? ive always felt like my fatigue stops me more than the pain, but i can do stuff if i get enough sitting time, so lately ive felt shitty for not working when others seem able to. worse, because i wouldnt want to work even if i could, so im almost relieved i cant.

but genuinely what the fuck. how do yall do this. theres "pushing through it" and then theres...whatevrr this is. packing up the house the last three days is making feel worse than death, my back hurts so much. and its not even that bad other than my mum freaking out and my stepdad doing half the job, a full physical 12 hour shift would be equal to this and i cannot do it. i couldnt do 9 hours a week two weeks in a row!! im convinced some of yall either don't actually have chronic pain OR theres something far worse going in with my body than fibro.

along the wind (bodyguard!peter x f!reader)

・゜・summary: Peter has made his way to the top by defying the odds his whole life; barely anything fazes him at this point. Yet when a glimpse of normalcy comes into his life in the form of a girl whose presence he initially apathizes, the crack in the Apostle’s stoicism starts to show.゜・* ・゜・tags: reader-insert, pre-canon, pre-rejuvenated peter, slice of life, fluff, slow burn, eventual romance, (my poor) attempt at humor, friends to lovers, typical-canon violence (mostly referenced cuz i suck at writing fight scenes)゜・* ・゜・notes: this work has multiple chapters! also cross-posted on my ao3 <3 title is from a song called "fly away" by jang yoon ju.゜・*

chapter 1: white strawberry and mint. ・゜・chapter content: bashing/washing, brief mention of drug. ・゜・word count: 1,268 ♡masterlist♡

“Tch, stop squirming so much will you?”

"That's easy for you to say, you took my last xanax!"

Peter, very much irritated, decides to ignore those words as he drags the washcloth down your spine. You really thought Glory's greatest asset would want to be stuck here babysitting a grown-ass woman in her early 20s, huh? You'd better fucking think again; with how bizarre this unconventional live-in assignment has been and is still going, Peter's mental gymnastics constantly blow hot and cold between wanting to protect you and wanting to strangle you. Anything to make your perpetual complaining go away, honestly. But as nice as the thought of making you shut up for good, the Cathedral's order to keep you safe is final, and he is but loyal to the organization that made him the powerful man he is today.

So the Apostle sucks it up, a sigh leaving his lips as one big hand closes a little tighter around your waist.

"You're recovering," Peter continues, the authority colors his tone even as his touch on your soaked back is undeniably gentle, "and the last thing I need is another headache of you OD'ing over off-label pills."

You let out a sound that falls somewhere between a gasp and a yelp. "I'm not an addict, ok?" That half-assed excuse almost has Peter rolling his eyes in pure frustration, his displeasure threatening to bubble over when you flounder on his lap like a fish out of water. "They're just my sleeping aid-"

“Aid or not ,” he cuts you off mid-sentence, “it doesn’t change the fact that you pop three xans per meal and barely function without them.” The last of his impatient reprimand is accompanied by foam-covered linen spreading the Olay body wash over the skin of your belly. Peter’s nose crinkles slightly at the sickening sugary scents of white strawberry and mint that assault his nostrils, but the man decides to keep his mouth shut.

And much to his surprise, so do you.

He’s relieved at your lack of resistance, or at least no more bitter remark. A huff leaves your lips, then nothing. Good, the Apostle is sure if this goes on, he’ll be scrubbing your wrinkly skin raw. Peter sets the washcloth aside and grabs the shower head, aiming the lukewarm stream of water at your body and clearing away the bubbles and remaining grime.

The water sloshes underneath your body as you draw up your legs; the tub isn’t small by any means, but Peter is aware of his size and how his large stature might be a little suffocating to you in terms of space. His grasp on your waist loosens, wanting to speed things up so you both can get out of here quicker. Yet the second the soap on your skin is washed away, the guy can't help but let his eyes linger on the scar on your lower thigh.

"What?" Peter hears you huff again, sounding uncomfortable despite your nonchalant expression. One of your hands moves down to conceal the healing wound, even if through the little cracks between your fingers, he can still make out the pinkish scar tissue.

"How are you feeling?" It's a genuine concern on his part.

"Um," your hesitation doesn't escape his notice, even palpably so when you start shifting awkwardly between his legs. Peter just wants to make sure, but he has no problem with dropping the topic if it irks you. That is what he thinks, but you finish the sentence, "better?"

So it doesn't hurt anymore, at least not as badly as it used to. The man lets out a low hum, then turns his head to hang the showerhead into its wall-mount bracket.

"No hair wash?" Are you serious right now? Peter rolls his eyes for real—an act he's very much acquainted with in the past six weeks living here—before facing you.

"No hair wash," there you go again with that annoying pout. Really makes him wonder how the hell you two are the same age, "I won't have you lazing around in here for more than 30 minutes."

Sensing an upcoming brainless argument, the raven-haired assassin stands up and walks out of the bath, taking you with him. He promptly ignores the way you yelp when one right hand grazes a ticklish spot on your nape to keep you still, instead reaching for two towels sitting on the sink. Peter wraps one of them around his waist and focuses on patting you dry with the other. There's a bored look on his face while you just stand there, grumbling under your breath about how you can do this on your own. Brat.

"Put this on." He draps the towel over your shoulders and hands you a fresh set of clothes for the night. Only when you take them does he start putting on his own; a moment of silence follows, save for the rustling of fabric. It’s oddly calming, and even though he has used to going through days without a wink of sleep, Peter feels his eyes getting droopy as he puts on his grey hoodie; the day’s exhaustion finally catching up.

You let out a yawn, putting your hand on his shoulder for support while you slip on a pair of cotton slippers. Now he just has to wait for you to finish up.

“Hey, Peter…”

“Hm?”

The guy looks over his shoulder when you call out his name. This time, you don’t meet his gaze, instead staring down on the floor as you scrawl with one foot.

”Sorry for my mini tantrum earlier.” You gulp, and was that shame he just heard? ”You were just trying to do your job…”

Peter cocks an eyebrow. He isn’t mad at you, per se—the smirk on his lips giving away his rare playfulness—more like the usual light-hearted annoyance (that makes him want to choke you due to how stubborn you are sometimes, but that’s out of the question). You’re still 97% better than most people the Apostle had encountered in his line of work, and that is to say out of the other 3% he didn’t fumble (or kill), you’re the girl who happens to fit the closest to society’s definition of normal.

Not that he cares about what people think, anyway.

“A-And I acted out like a child…” He’s half-expecting another sorry, but you keep your head down in silence. You must be waiting for his answer then, so the guy decides to give you an easy way out; the further teasing comment that is about to leave his mouth can be saved for another time.

”Aside from the occasional migraines you gave me,” Peter smiles, putting a hand on your head as he starts ruffling your hair. "you're not too bad yourself. Apology accepted."

You mirror his mirth, though only for a brief second. Schooling your expression into a mask of faux frustration, you huff and try to pry his hand off. “Right right, now stop would ya? You’re gonna mess up my hair!”

Again, sleep comes first. As fun as it is to taunt you, Peter needs to get you to bed. Tuck you in… is that what it is called? The Apostle mentally cringes at the term; Father Gabriel really did land him into babysitting his niece.

“Right… let’s go.” He settles for giving your head one last pat before motioning you to walk towards the door connected to your bedroom. The distance is short, but Peter knows you’ll be there when he turns around.

Tomorrow will just be another day.

Honestly decepticon prowl

I see his brain going 'if you can be ten steps ahead, why not be at LEAST twenty steps ahead?' to himself. In a mirror.

Barricade however seems rather clueless, not listening to certain things, communications officer with soundwave, barricade is the one to send in if someone HAS to be captured, he can endure a lot of mind games and trickery and has been known to come out with information instead of whatever falsities that he gave the autobots.

Prowl is smart, rarely seen, immoral, a walking grey line that somehow got on the decepticons side (?) however they aren't sure if he is, don't know where he is to get the upper hand of it to make sure he is.

Prowl knows enough about both sides he could stall the entire war, one side gets an advantage then the other gets lucky, and if a side pisses prowl off? They start losing for a little while, not enough to make a difference, but it happens.

The autobots... kind of know barricade, all of them know the tricky decepticon, except Red Alert, who knows barricade as a traitor. Why red alert? Because it's hard for anyone how knows him to question if he's serious or not. (Kill me I love idw version of red alert)

Anyway prowl being powerful yes... but in the mind way, Shockwave hates him.. only because Prowl throws a wrench in shockwaves backup plans, somehow, someway 'barricade' is curious and is known as a bad shot, he wanders, he is known to be an olay conversation, a little boring, but barricade is okay in everyone's book but shockwave..

Okay i gotta stop there, sorry to ramble... Imma go to my snacc collection now, hope you liked the ideas! 🍬

OH OH OH okay ahah okay I, I might really like to hear any rambles about people's ideas and looks on decepticon Prowl so feel free to ramble ahah Mmm, I think in Prowl's case it isn't an exaggeration to say that he needs to count 100+ moves ahead You just made he realise that he might end up being a good liar in such sircumstances? Like I always think of him as a bad liar because his face acts unproportionally to what he says. But his face movements are so barely noticable that maybe only Jazz and Red Alert could notice them (I didn't see enough of Red Alert in idw, I need more info on him I see people loving him pfehge) Barricade being clueless because he is busy coming up with the new tactical strategies while still doing him job so he loses some things he is said to. Oh god yes you made me realise that he is also sent on interrogations to get out information, autobots could learn about Barricade from here, a chance of someone running away. OH, Prowl is some kind of mistery just like Jazz. Prowl death bringer and Jazz life bringer to neutrals. One works undercover with decepticons, other undercover with autobots to help the ones who mustn't be involved in their war. (There would have been so many facts and details that shouldn't be on the front page but ahah let it be) OH Prowl was working with Primes. He was leading operations. He was responsible for Megatron's case when he was a gladiator. He knows enough of autobots' inner info. There is just one misconception. He was a Prowl back then. I wonder how he can trick everyone to believe Prowl is dead (seems easy but he wasn't a low figure to cover it was easily) unless he just made sure everyone who was working with him fell down under Prime's fire. I wonder if he changes his painting

OH mmm yes his plans could always be on the way of Soundwave's backup plans. So far in idw I saw that 1) Shockwave sometimes acts on his own too without Megatron knowing because he looks at possibilities of the world changing from the war 2) Soundwave ending up randomly anywhere ahah Pffffffht, "What do you mean you pissed off Prowl and we lost 3 squadrons a joor ago?!?""

What kind of products does Theirry use in his hygienic routine? Ex: shampoo type.

PLAYING TO MY HEART WITH QUESTIONS THAT REQUIRE RESEARCH & DETAILS NO PERSON SHOULD REASONABLY HAVE ABOUT THEIR CHARACTERS... did i tell you you look very pretty today anon,

in a scenario where bathing / routine hygienics would be more of a necessity as opposed to a simulated action ( make a " thierry stinky " joke & i will go missing ), i think thierry's preference in products is... considerably basic?

old spice & head & shoulders when it comes to shampoos / conditioners,,, or just whatever rosemary brings into the house, he doesn't care, i think any scalp agent that also claims to prevent hair loss he has a couple of,

olay or dove soap probably,,, goes for the type of product that says it's got shea or cocoa butter in it, because that sounds like something he wants in his life,

cera ve / cetaphil for moisturizer.... colgate toothpaste... barbasol or harry's for shaving creams..... degree or old spice deodorant..... stayfree or always maxipads.....

if it sounds like i don't know what common popular products old men use it's because i don't,

& i think thierry would use cheaper but Efficient brand-name products, feeling simultaneously insecure because he Won't shell out 30 dollars for a box of high-end deodorant & thinking those that do are out of their damn minds BUT HEY, at the end of the day, he's clean, & he feels & smells good - so how " high quality " a product claims to be or whether it's targeted for a specific gender demographic Really doesn't matter to him; he's in the privacy of a bathroom & washing up, Nobody's going to judge him for applying Smells Like Teen Spirit on his pits in there, so long as he doesn't smell like a wet sock once out in public

BONUS: often smells like apples as a result of using rosemary's own products ( & general rosemary exposure ) BUT, he would prefer to buy products that smell flowery / woodsy & Sweet as opposed to whatever the hell old spice's Wolfthorn is supposed to smell like,

this inbox was not sponsored nor endorsed by any of the brands listed & this is not a list of personal recommendations, op's knowledge of Products is simply lacking 👍

I am going over a book of analysis of Shakespeare plays (readers who underline in books and return them in such a state are not the bane of my existence, but certinly they are a source of my frustration) and naturally when I come to the Macbeth section (Fun fact: this is from the era when it was customary to phonetically transcribe all names, even those with whose languages of origin we share the alphabet, so here the olay is called Makbeth.) I start thinking of Downey.

Somehow this thought produced “A snobbish ball has a raffle the earnings of which go to charity. It is a good custom for the Guilds to donate ‘The services of our guild up to 10000 AM$ perfomed bz the Head of the Guild’. Most people, of course, hope to get the Seamstresses’ gift card. Some people are subject to the horror when Downey is the first to come to congratulate them when they get him.”

I do love that Macbeth thoughts now trigger Downey thoughts in a (very) small portion of the population. My work on this earth is done.

Rosie would be the most popular, that is very true.

I feel like some of the smarter citizens of the City would know that Downey has multiple skills, given his education, and therefore is like "if you can do it, then it counts as a service offered by the Guild. Therefore, I have this particular issue with an invasive weed in my garden that won't quit." Or something like that.

Because Inhumation services up to 10K is a lot of work that they could make use of (or one really big/difficult target). I do wonder what the terms and conditions would be. Like, no one on the "no inhumation" list or anyone that might cause Unnecessary Headaches for Certain Fine Gentlemen of the City (i.e., Vetinari). Therefore, inhumations that might cause international incidents are off the table.

Because this is Downey, he would have the world's most annoying terms and conditions that are very thorough. But also because this is Downey he would forget something glaringly obvious and also would allow himself to be rules-lawyered into doing something absolutely fucking bonkers.

He gets chuffed whenever someone comes to him excited that they won the AG's gift certificate in the raffle and has an opening line of, "Technically this is impossible, but hear me out --"

(Vetinari in the background to Sybil: Please do me a favour and interrupt that conversation before Downey agrees to Inhume Death or something irreparably stupid.)

[beans-core]

So. Rambles under the cut. I’m a little feral cause I’ve been postponing watching this for a hot minute.

moments from Batman v Superman that made me Feel Something:

the gun that killed Martha being placed just right between her necklace so when it shot her pearls broke. Like. Ough.

“Do you bleed?”

said while staring into Clarks soul with your glinting crazy eyes. such a very normal thing to say bruce. If this version of Bruce wayne wasn’t running around in a bat costume I feel like he’d be a mad scientist. he and lex could be crazy scientist buds who experiment on aliens together. Also the following “you will” after Superman flew away was cringeworthy but the first bit made up for it.

The whole conversation Clark had with his mother, along the lines of “you don’t owe them anything” : Thanks Ma Kent for being so real and true. Also great how Clark runs to her for every emotional crisis what a mommas boy /pos

“I’m older now than my father ever was.”

yo what the fuck that came out of left field and kneed me in the kidney. No words just ouch.

“This is my legacy.” … “The first generation [of Waynes] made their fortune trading with the French. Pelts and skins. They were hunters.”

Olay the look on his face when he said the last sentence was lowkey bringing back the crazy eyes— tempered of course bc it’s Alfred. But jeez no wonder his mask doesn’t cover his eyes because when he gets that freak glare you know it’s scary af for an opponent. Or sexy. Distracting in many ways. Someone put that expression under a microscope. Someone put him under a microscope.

“No one stays good in the world”

Before flying off? Just like that? Had to pause, debate whether to laugh or be suprised, and then just ended up saying “what??” at the screen.

Batman’s metal suit. Brother please you look like if a soup can wanted to be a real boy. I know it’s for a reason, two of those being to look shiny and to include platforms in your boots, but it’s so goofy. Goofy in a cool way.? Like it’s corny because it looks overly intimidating and dangerous, but it also does actually kick ass so. Idk man. Mixed feelings but the majority is LMAO

When bruce hits Clark with the kryptonite poof for the second time, Clark collapses … Bruce goes out of his way to rip a sink off the wall and break it over Clark’s head… i CACKLED. You have so many weapons, multiple that you made specifically for defeating Clark, and you use the FUCKIN SINK.

Ohhh the whole “why did you say Martha!?” Moment. Bruce wondering what else Clark knows just for Lois to rush in and be like “no mr batman that’s his mommas name”. I was sooo expecting for Bruce to go “ah okay well atleast it wasn’t about me teehee” and stiLL GUT HIM LIKE A FISH. Forgot there was more to the movie than the girlies fighting for a minute. But yeah whatever they reconciled. Boooo the show must go on

“I don’t deserve you Alfred.” “No sir, you don’t.”

Yeah… yeah. Especially when Alfred then takes over the fucking batplane thing and continues to be a badass like a minute later lmao.

Bruce you little bitch you can’t introduce yourself as “a friend of your son” to Martha when you were trying to spear him dead not an hour earlier?? This part had me giggling hard. Also Martha you continue to be the best mwah kisses

“You lose.” “I don’t know how to lose.” “You’ll learn.”

CLARK. I don’t need to say anything for this other than CLARK *swoon*.

WONDER WOMANS INTRO MUSIC HAHAHAH

…And then the rest of the movie I forgot to have rational thought. Like a dog seeing a squirrel— Ooo wow fight scenes. Got me like 👁️👁️

Only zoned back in for a moment to laugh at how Bruce and Diana were standing behind Lois while she was having her emotional funeral moment like 🧍🧍.

Honorable mention (aka it’s impossible to narrow it down to my fav parts): every single thing about Lex Luthor Junior. Lex being a charismatic twitchy evil nerd who really really wants to dissect aliens is scarily endearing. Peeling off the dead-guy-kryptonian’s fingerprints— straight up skinning them off the body and wearing them to enter the spaceship is. Hah. Like yeah exactly, the dude you’ve introduced to me in this movie would definitely do that. Calling Superman and god and then full-naming his secret identity, like Lex is shoving the fact that there’s more under the ‘divinity’ right in his face. Oooooh yeah. Setting up a hero surprise date— a “fight night” for “god versus man”— like a deranged matchmaker? Kind of iconic. HOW HE REVEALED HE KIDNAPPED CLARKS MOTHER?? Oh, he’s AWFUL. and he’s GIDDY, completely unrepentant. I’m jittering just thinking about it he made it rain on supes with pictures of his captured mother. that’s a hilarious amount of emotionally fucked up. Fundamentally twisted, that goober is. “and now god bends to my will” AHHHH. But yeah just love how they made him batshit insane, pun entirely intended. The last bit w/ the “dingdingding” was funny.

Jesse Eisenberg played the whole ‘tweaky freaky psycho geek’ sitch sooo well like dude hats off. You found your niche— nerds, psychos, emotionally repressed people, or a wombo combo— and you stuck with it. Keep spreading your geek freak my beloved.

Bonus thirst:

BATTFLECK OH MY GODSHSJDHD… he’s so. Wow. And he’s so fucking large??? Idk how to word it because I’ve just never seen someone with such a stance. A presence. Like his shoulders are so wide? Broad? Genuinely how does he fit through doors being such a hulking hunk of a man. he looks HAWT in a suit, the suit is what enhances it. In his batsuit it’s personally no biggie but as Bruce Wayne he’s SCRUMPTIOUS.

WONDERWOMAN. good holy mama she’s gorgeous, of the drop-dead variety. Her accent is. I’m on my knees. The scene where she gets knocked down by the Monster Thing, huffs, smirks, and then gets back up to fight. WOOF. and of course she’s absolutely beautiful in her dresses but something about that hero costume�� maybe it’s how nonchalant she is about killing the Monster Thing while Brice and Clark are both like “wait where did she come from. i thought you brought her.”

Clark is a cutie pie and I Would, don’t get me wrong. But also his cuteness for me is more based on his personality so I don’t classify it as thirst. Kansas boy earned his hotness for me by doing his hero thing, which is pretty on brand actually.

[bats-and-bruised]

olay so yh i want to start off and say that this isnt jester nor did they (i fgoror jester’s pronouns mb) condone this for me to say

but uh. i just want to tell you that maybe making a playlist trying to get them to leave you alone isnt the most mature thing? like you said you werent doing very well mentally when you dumped them, and from an outsider’s perspective it seemed very random. it makes sense that they would want answers and try to contact you :/

im not trying to say youre bad or anything or that you dont have the right to joke around, but maybe just keep that into consideration?

also you just broke up with them earlier this week and are already talking to someone new, which isnt bad and doesnt make you bad, just it makes sense why jester might not be feeling great

all i want to say is try to put yourself in their shoes before kinda running their name through the dirt and making fun of them :/

sorry if this is weird i’ve just been in a similar situation and i felt horrible for the way i treated my ex afterwards, and i dont want you to do the same thing and feel the same regrets

hey so thats not about jester actually

I don't know anything about what jesters doing or what he's posting because I cut contact

i didnt want to hurt him anymore bc I wasn't in a good place

that was about an ex who has been causing me a lot of stress lately and actually someone irl whos friends have been harrasing me and texting me constantly. he's making playlists about me and dm'ing my friends to try and get back with me even though we dated 4 months ago. we didn't even date for two weeks and he's still being like this.

my therapist and i had to talk a lot about it today

i want this to be clear I would NEVER make fun of jester, he was amazing and perfect and sososo sweet he didn't deserve someone as shitty as me. so uh, yeah get the whole story before you comment on it? its my life and when I was talking about this ex earlier I specified it wasn't jester.

jester doesnt even have spotify so yeah

i haven't been joking around about jester and have been trying to stay positive cause I was about to be sent away when I broke up with him

yeah idk what else to say but that wasn't about jester its about a different ex whos been causing me a lot of stress and anxiety, I really just want him to leave me alone but he wont.

[wordy-little-witch]

I feel like I’m getting annoying with all these agere asks but I’m in a weird headspace rn and so my favs now have to regress and be happy so I can sleep better and maybe someone else gets a kick outta it I dunno? Anyways

I still love the idea that Buggy’s regression is mostly unrelated to wanting to wear certain clothes or long for certain toys or even a specific kind of food or such, I like to think it’s very „No. aesthetic“ type of regression, where you probably couldn’t tell at first glance and it’s not as easy as just giving him kiddie stuff and he’ll be happy. (Not to knock on anyone who does like the aesthetics and kiddie stuff just to be clear.) so he actually doesn’t have a bunch of toys and plushies and such and doesn’t really ask for them either.

…. THAT BEING SAID

Buggy should most definitely have an absolutely gigantic plush Fruitwani. Massive thing. It’s almost as big as Crocodile himself and that’s not counting the tail. A complete impulse purchase by Crocodile as well, being separated from his husbands for a while, having to delay reuniting them for another two days because of unforeseen circumstances and some unfortunate encounters with some Marines. Talking on the Denden to both of them and learning Buggy has had some bad regression days behind him. He doesn’t even let himself slip fully, there’s still a part of him that knows why Crocodile isn’t back with them, so he tries to stay in a big headspace when talking to him, but inwardly Buggy just wants to cry badly and curl up into Mihawks arms all day because Croccy isn’t home and he doesn’t LIKE it when people aren’t with him for too long because they may never come back. It’s a mess. Crocodiles suffering, Mihawk is suffering and Buggy is absolutely miserable.

So when Crocodile spots the giant plush toy sitting in a store window, surrounded by smaller plushtoys, his mind is immediately made up. Yes that one. Just for decoration? Not for sale? Well it is now. No. No that can be arranged. No the price doesn’t matter, he will leave this island with this absolute beast of a plush toy no matter how many Beri he has to spend or who he’ll have to harm if that what it takes. He WILL have that toy.

Buggy still clings to Crocodile more than usual when he gets back, no plush could ever replace the connection he was craving…. But after he has settled down a bit more the plush actually becomes on of his favorite toys. Not even just when he’s regressed, he just loves this thing. Has spooked several people wanting to talk business with Crossguild coming into the room finding chairman Buggy lounging on, what appears to be, a full sized Fruitwani , it just looks that convincing at first glance. For Buggy it’s not only cool and flashy, it’s a very, literally, big reminder that Crocodile cares about him in his own way, even when on some days the most he’ll get from him is a good morning kiss and the rest of the day is filled with snark towards him until he bids him and Mihawk goodnight again. It just means a lot to him to know he’s loved even when he’s being vulnerable or difficult.

Also yes, Crocodile also loves this thing and Mihawk has been on the suffering end of him and Buggy spooning the damn thing at night while he goes woefully unembraced on his side of the bed „ah yes, just me, my fiances, and the eight foot tall Applewani plush one of them threatened a shop owner over.“

Olay lemme preface this with some things

1) you're not annoying at all, and if anyone says you are, I'll eat their knees

2) I get it - honestly posting content for Buggy specifically for age regression was nerve wracking bc like. Idek really. But giving things I experience to characters I love is so cathartic, and I've spent more than a few nights just.... daydreaming about stuff like that just to be happy and comfy and cozy. No judgement on this blog, of that I promise you ♡♡♡

3) agere is valid every and any way, aesthetic or not, visible or not, it's doesn't matter, only the ways people feel. If you're safe, happy, and not harming anyone, you're doing so perfect and I love you and am proud of you

Now with my soap box stuff done, HOLY HECK YES YES PLZ I LOVE THIS I ADORE I NEED IT, GODS YOUR MIND!!!!! (/pos)

Buggy isn't a typical person, head to toe, inside out, he's Flashy but also incredibly subtle. His regression isn't some cookie cutter type of deal, he's wild and slightly feral in some ways, he's unusual and perfect and precious. His idea of a good time is knife games, climbing (everything is sight, nothing is sacred), explosions, and playing poker. He has a special rope that's just for him to tie and play with ((and occasionally chew on, though Mihawk has a mild heart attack every time he sees it while Crocodile cringes into the next plane of existence in disgust)).

At a glance, not much changes, but Mihawk can feel the change in Haki, and Crocodile can see the microscopic things there when Buggy shifts. He holds things differently, stims more visibly, just seems bouncier and even more animated yet somehow much more calm. The best explanation comes from Buggy himself in describing the shifting between his headspaces. "Some things turn off and others pop on open."

The worst thing to Buggy in general is a perception of loss or abandonment. Logically, he knows it isn't the case, and he can cling to that mostly, but experience has taught him that distance does NOT, in fact, make hearts grow fonder - at least, not for him. The one and only time he felt it may have applied - and this is a very tentative maybe - was when he reunited with his crew, made into Alvida's image and her decisions. There was no war over crew nor ship, just an allowance to slip back in as if he'd never quite left. The only changes or acknowledgement was Alvida's slightly awkward, brusque, yet lingering touch to his arm when she gave it a squeeze and remarked that "handling these hoodlums solo is not my idea if a good time." He was needed, and that did wonders for his security but not so much for the mental health.

Crocodile and Mihawk don't need him - he's the face man, sure, and he's got a talent for manipulation, speeches, rallying men. But at the end of the day, they outshine him despite their proclivities for the shadows. It's a juxtaposition. It's safe. It's wonderful, and Buggy still struggles to trust in the reliability there.

Logically, he knows- Croc is out, managing something for work, he's coming back, he will be back, he's not alone or abandoned or suddenly useless and worthless.

But he still feels it all.

And falling into his headspace to decompress is always harder when he's upset or scared, it only really works when he boils over, and the meltdown that would lead to is counterproductive. So he's waffling between the two, assured only by the calls, by Mihawk, and the few other places he can get some semblance normalcy and security.

When Crocodile does come home, a comically large plush toy over his shoulder, Buggy's already practically vibrating and is completely beyond the point of words in a positive way. He just squeals, lunges and the cushion of sand catching his weight is warm and safe and cozy and he clings, a clown themed koala, right there without shame.

The plush doesn't come up until later.

When someone inevitably asks - and, interestingly enough, it is Mihawk who does - Croc is honest. "Thought the clown would like it for longer trios like this."

The toy is big, yes, and also decently heavy, moreso than even it's size may seem. It's partially weighted in the tummy, legs and jaw, a display piece more than a toy for playing with, and Buggy is absolutely obsessed. It's Croco-sized, and it's a 'wani, and it's soft and cute and heavy. He loves it.

His first order of business is immediately dropping down to scramble under it and just... going limp. He wriggles a little, humming softly before falling still, cheek squished into his forearms, hair a mess but he's smiling, he's relaxed, he's comfy and happy and safe and with his boyfriends' Haki on the edges if his muffled, fuzzy awareness, he truly unwinds for the first time in over a week.

Crocodile carefully tugs his hair from under the toy with his hook, and Mihawk hands him a little fidget toy or a rope.

The toy is named later on, as demanded by a tiny jester with a frankly lethal set of baby doll eyes and quivering lip. Really, he could topple nations with that face, the other two swear.

Mihawk simply has to make peace with Addie the Applewani Cuddle Buddy having a semi permanent spot in the bed.

MANHWA REC LIST PART 2

WAR OF THE PRINCESSES

i finished catching up to this like 2 minutes ago [EDIT: WROTE THAT THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAYM NOW ITS 2 DAYS AGO] and i genuinely really liked this. for a manhua its amazing!! the plot is unique and keeps you guessing, the characters are entertaining and NOT cookie cutter cutouts of isekai tropes, theres been some interesting reveals and a lot of people in the comments were hating on ml but personally i found him super fun; hes very morally grey n has definite flaws but thats what makes him a good character to read about !! not to mention the main character herself is great. i hate that my bar for good manhwa/hwa characters has gone down to 'has more than 2 personality traits' but she is leaping over it for sure

PLEASE REPENT, YOUR GRACE!

i dont read yaoi i dont read bl. i have never ever read it . however the vibes were so strong that i had to go back and check the tags because.. if you read it... you will see. its so strong. it radiates. (all that aside i really like the relationship btn the mains i think its really fun. they may not be gay (????🤨🤨🤨🤔🤔) but its still highly enjoyable i love it)

THE BABY SAINT WANTS TO DESTROY THE WORLD!

ive read 2 chapters but i just think the 'evil character reincarmates into the pinnacle of goodness' trope is the funniest thing in the world. i have no clue if its going to be a generic collect the characters take over the world type of thing but i just think its funny and its the newest one ive read.

IT SEEMS I'VE TRANSMIGRATED SOMEWHERE

i have been waiting for aomethinf like this for SO LONG hahah the main character is so diddly darn confused the entire time cus in her past life shes read too much rofan etc and now cant figure out what novel shes trandmigrated into. regular manhwa reader fr,, anyway theres a strong case for second hand embarrassment in this one, especially in the first few chapters or so, but i genuinely really like this just cus its so self aware, it keeps poking fun at all the tropes and its a nice lighthearted read. also theres a decent amount of plot despite it all and OH I ALMOST FORGOT the male lead is an absolute 10 personalitywise i genuinely love him. hes here for drama and thats it its amazing. so yea id say tropey but Well Written super fun 👍👍👍

HIDING THE ARCHDUKE'S HUMILIATING HISTORY

i think this is the first manhwa ive read where the ml pisses himself in fear the first time he meets fl (theyre both children)(hes scared of something else not fl but still). anyway its nothing particularly unique but its pretty fun! its one of those novel isekai where mc reincarnates into a little kid and the structure makes it a sandwich which has been keeping me very invested. this isnt a very good advertisment but its a good way to pass the time i think. heres a nice reaction pic

SUSU, HAN

oh my god??? just binged this whole thign in one go. first of all ots complete, second of all i guess you can say tjis is a character study in manhwa form. there isnt a particular overarching antagomist, its the characters learning to grow and face their own personal issues. but its also a slice of life, and lighthearted family drama, and comedy. its not a rofan this time lol. also the sibling relationships in susu, han are so good !! and theres so many lovely platonic relationships too. i really really enjoyed it.

THE TALE OF GOLDILUCK, THE BLACK KITTEN

WHOLESOME !!! WHOLESOME WHOLESOME WHOLESOME absolutely adorable, centres around a black cat that gets adopted by a young noble in ancient? old? korea. so so cite, read to soothe your heart

olay ive hit the image limit again. would yall like more

Season 3 Episode 5!

⚠️⚠️ Don't read if you haven't watch s3! ⚠️⚠️

Omg, Klaus meets his mom!!! Oh, and finds out he died so many times...

Okay, but I actually love the fact that Tom Hopper's wife is Klaus's mom. I don't know why. It's just cool and sweet.

Aww.... but I forgot that Allsion got nightmares... it's so sweet how Ray would just immediately know and start helping.

This episode is just so quick. A lot of moments that I'm a little overwhelmed.

Even though Stanley knows that Diego isn't his dad, he still tells him that he flipping killed his brother. Yikes. Diego's freak out 😭 "And you were gonna dissolve the body!?"

Klaus's "even the naughty bits?"

That's it.

"Hate to say I told you so,"

"You love to say I told you so." Dang, Viktor!!

I really just want to know exactly where everyone is from. (And before I start, yes, I do know that Reginald made them learn many languages) because Five keeps speaking German. He said, "Nein!" In season 2, when everyone failed to meet the 90-minute deadline. And just now, he called the briefcase "kaput". Broken in german. I can definitely see Five being German, but everyone else in the Fandom believes he's from Greece. But I do fully believe he's from Germany. I don't know.

I also love "guy in a carpet." And Chen just accepts it and says,"I hope you win."

And then Klaus is like "sup! I'm back from the dead."

"What would happen if I cut off your head? Would it grow two of you?" And then Diego curs in, cause that's rude, right?

"Stan." He turns to look at Klaus. "Would it?"

"Klaus, do you know where the kugelblitz is?" "Yeah, I saw it!"

"Why didn't you tell anyone!?"

"I told you!" Yeah, Diego. He told you. Why even ask that question?

"You say stupid shut all the time!"

This is why we should listen to each other.

Olay, but as much as it's like.. arguing and stuff. I love their immediate concern for Viktor because harlan hurt him.

And omg, Five saying that Harlan was insignificant and then Viktor immediately with the comeback, "You once told me no one was insignificant." Yeah.. he's not wrong.

I love how Harlan is listening to Wind. And then specifies through a field of corn, and my first immediate thought was... Viktor doesn't have a good experience with field corn.

God. I really hate the writers. I mean, why couldn't stan be his actual son? They were so cute. He's yelling at Stan (not literally yelling, but disciplining, parenting,) and then he jokes around, making stan laugh by putting the cleaning supplies on his head? And then before he leaves the room he tells him not to forget about his ear medication downstairs??? Hello? He's such a good dad just for that to be thrown away?

Another full circle moment. We all know five said "I'm the daddy here!" To Luther in season 2. And now Diego says it. "I'm the daddy here.." to lila.

Allison just said, "The new timeline will just be worse for me." And yep. I truly believe it will. She might've gotten everything she wanted in this last timeline, but everything comes with a cost.

Oh... wow.. yeah. "Luther just said you can't use me for that" and Allsion said that she can of she wants to. Then she rumors him to stay. He begs her not to. And then... she rumors him again. And we all know that.

Oi.. Klaus telling Five that that's the Mother's of Agony. Symbol or whatever.

And then we find badass Pogo.

The gifs!

Sorry in advance that there isn't much gifs. I'm in a bit of a rush today and wasn't sure if I was even going to be able to watch this episode so I didn't have much time to write all of this or find the gifs.

I'm not sure if or when I'll watch and post tomorrow's episode but I'll try to as soon as I can! Love you all!

*reads your blog* you suggest Alan Wake 2? Do I have to get into Alan wake one or any other games before it?

Rubs my evil little hands together yes ideally you do at least take the time to play / watch a playthrough of the first Alan Wake game before going into Alan Wake 2 and thats a VERY GOOD thing. Its arguably one of the only Horror Game sequels where the first game fundamentally matters to everything going on!

Thats really all you need to get into Alan Wake 2, though, is to play or watch the first game, and then play or watch the second one. Alan Wake 2 is my favorite game of all time maybe ever and I CANNOT be normal about it, it makes me go crazy. Its mindbendingly mad and an experience genuinely like no other. Its art direction is astounding and its story is confusing in the ways that a good horror story never gives you all the answers but does provide some so you dont leave with only questions .

The game is also Genuinely Terrifying, or at least it was for me. i’d call it the scariest piece of media I’ve ever personally enjoyed, as while I do like Kitty Horrorshow style horror games, Alan Wake 2 is sort of along the lines of a (according to people that have olayed them) Less scary Resident Evil. Theres not too much monster related body horror but there is a late game monster that is pretty scary and does utalise some of that. Most of the horror comes from the story (quite literally) and then noticing how its effecting everything, especially our characters and their lives.

The shortest possible summery I can give you of whats going on in Alan Wake 1: A writer with writers block, intending to go on a vacation with his wife in a small town, ends up watching in horror as fiction becomes reality. (Also theres a lot of Twin Peaks references so if you like that TV show you’ll probably be having fun, they are just references though and are more for fun & flavour than anything else)

The shortest possible summery I can give you of whats going on in Alan Wake 2: Two FBI agents hired to solve a string of murders arrive in town right on time to find another body. Is this one connected to the previous killings? And whats up with that waitress at the diner? Be prepared; Its Happening Again

In terms of other games, Control can be placed before or after Alan Wake 2 depending on what feels more interesting to you, and i think thats awesome! I do in fact love Control 2019, I watched like two playthroughs of it and then bought the Ultimate Edition, which I have beaten twice now!

…. but this is a post of me beinv autistic about Alan Wake 2, meaning your only (heh) required readings are the first game and the second :D

You can’t escape! Your in My story now >:3 ! Go there go in the Alan Wake & Alan Wake 2 !!!

Olay...

Wait a minute....

So many things to say...

Episode 4 did play well. Good, this was so good. Acting is perfect, with camera work, music, and lighting. Everything indicates the characteristics of each person.

So

•there is a big possibility that we are talking about parallel worlds or different dimensions. The one where Great didn't do anything to save Dom, which led everyone to die. We see Tyme dying while near Casino, and Great also having heart attack. And there is this time zone, where he saves Dom, which lid him to Tyme, which lids him to uncover his family business. I'm sure Tonkla also kills Title, maybe even Korn. The stone he uses and the stone Great uses is the same shape. Same place. The fact that Dom's presence was felt by Tonkla, I'm thinking about parallel worlds. Like we all have our lives in other worlds. But will this world collapse? Will they collide. An interesting future is waiting for us .

•Sex scenes are really well done and well directed. And shows us each chance very well. Tonkla uses his body to forget the ache in his heart. His coping machine is really bad. The depression he is having and kind of revenge on Korn, while using Win. But I don't think he will fall in love. And then we have Tyme and Great. I would love to borrow Henry Fox (RWRB) words: they are making love, Lana del Ray background kind of making love. It's very similar to Alex and Henry's lovemaking. Slow, looking each others eyes, Tyme asking if Great is okay. The kisses before, come one, Tyme dude, you are so in love, I can't take it ❤️

•Tyme is not time traveling (i thought he was), Tyme just was stalker of Great cause of revenge. The thing that he is believing in Great seeing the future and joking about it and asking Don about why 4 minutes.

He is a doctor, and I think he will be first to guess why 4 minutes and what is happening to Great.

P.s. Bible with Tattoos, thigh spread for his man, boy, can't wait to see them honeymoon phase.

Everything is perfect in this series. It deserves international success 🙌

Also dis is me everytime 4 minutes finish. As I need to think about all crazy things 🤣

[rosey-chaos]

Okay so I play volleyball and I have played for 3 years now and I just lost miserably in a game and suddenly got the idea of writing about the greasers on a volleyball team because there's 7 of them and that's perfect for at least one sub and I'm a total genius.

Okay so at my school we just have random numbers for our jerseys so I feel like they would too because my school is a public school and I'm assuming it's like that for most public schools considering every team we Olay is the same

Dallas would really want to be number 1 but darry would obviously have it instead.

Dallas would grumble and complain but would settle for number 17.

Johnny would be 33

Ponyboy would be 11

Sodapop would be 50

Steve would be 46

And two-bit would immediately choose 69 because for some reason the school thought it'd be a good idea to have a jersey with that number.

Of course, to everybody's dismay, the boys do not wear spandex like girls do. They just wear basketball shorts that match the jerseys.

I can totally see oneof those fuckers showing up to practice in short shorts or spandex just to be funny

Oh I should probably explain volleyball for those who haven't ever played!

So there's 6 people on the court at a time and you rotate every time you gain a point for the opposing team losinga point. There's two rows or 3 people, one front and one back. There's 6 positions which are simply numbers. You can set, bump, spike, and serve the ball but you can't lift or carry it. Your not aloud to touch the net either or go on the other side of the court. It's pretty simple but I'm horrible at explaining so I suggest looking up the rules

Ponyboy can barely get a serve over the net underhand BUT he's really good at setting the ball for Dallas who spikes it down so hard the other team stares back in fear.

Darry has a scary ass overhand serve that always hits very close to the back line which causes him to score tons of aces for the boys until he fucks up and serves it into the net. He's also really good at literally everything and he's a ball hog but we still love him anyway <3

Steve is loud and always cheering and his sportsmanship is actually terrible.

He'll fuck up a serve or something and he'll scream "SHIT" and the coach (Mr curtis if he was still alive) would sub him out almost immediately for sodapop or Johnny.

Sodapop acts so sweet and his sportsmanship is really good and he's great at digging the balls in the back row and popping them up for everybody else. When they lose he's all cheery and has the "well get em next time don't worry it was a good game!" Attitude but that boy is actually so angry and upset and is secretly wishing death upon the opposing team.

He rants to Steve about it after games all the time.

Johnny, despite being a scrawny little guy, is actually so intimidating in games. He takes it so seriously and his overhand is TERRIFYING. He's not the same level as darry but he does surprise the opposing teams a ton because who knew this scrawny kid could hit that ball so hard?

Two-Bit takes nothing seriously and he's always messing up to make people laugh. He always cheers the boys on from the sidelines (he's rarely ever in the game because the boys really really want to try and win) and he's so loud too. He's like a supportive mom level loud and he will sometimes argue with the ref or the lines people because those motherfuckers call out when the ball is OBVIOUSLY IN.

I'm not sure what else to write but lmk if i should do more???
