The Inspector: ‘Tickets to One Direction? No.’

The Inspector: ‘Tooting of the horns? Yes!’

Upcoming Benefit Shows In Our Area

Upcoming Benefit Shows In Our Area

The world is often a cruel place but we can make it a little better for those in need when we attend benefit shows that donate the proceeds to good causes. There’s a few coming up in the DMV that I thought I’d mention here real quick (you can always get the full list of upcoming metal concerts in the greater DC, Baltimore and Northern Virginia area on our handy calendar here). Ben Blanton plays…

@sunderdust asked | [CHECK]: after an unexpectedly violent situation, sender frantically rushes to check if the receiver is okay, cupping their face to look closer.

An ambush. Not even she had noticed them, and usually she was quite perceptive. Flanked from all direction. Magic users and fighters alike. Ten against four seemed terrible odds. Something inside her stirred, and suddenly, she was not herself. Colette was a whirlwind of viscera and carnage. Something within her own blood stirred to life, and it twisted her gut. It reminded her of the horrible thoughts she had tried to block out for weeks now.

The fight was over, in a flash. The smell of arcane burning lingered in the air. She was vaguely aware of the pain that she felt in her arm and side, a split lip and a bruised jaw aching slightly. But she still wasn't herself. Like that of an aura about her, the rogue stood and stared blankly at the mess before them. Rip. Shred. Kill. Kill. K-

His hands were upon her cheeks, and had she not realized it was him, her blade could've sunk into his belly in the next few moments. Instead, her blades dropped with loud thuds.

"Solomon-" her voice is barely a whisper. In that moment, she realized how hard she was breathing, how her body quaked with adrenaline. The taste of blood coming from her own mouth as she realizes she's bitten down on her tongue at some point during the fight. Thoughts were becoming her own again, switching from the murderous intentions of the darkness in her soul to that of the person she was trying to be.

Her hands reach up and softly lay atop his, her gaze meeting his as she further solidifies everything around them. Karlach was cackling about the job while Gale spoke on about some anecdote that would relate to some event in his life so far.

"...I'm good..." Colette squeezes his hands softly, though probably not very convincing to most, there is a wave of exhaustion that comes over her and she can feel the adrenaline crash as her blood cools. The urges are quiet again, and for a sickening reason, the woman feels sated. It felt awful. Her hands still shook. Whether it was the crash and burn or the fear of losing control, even Colette couldn't quite tell.

"Are...you okay?"

Opinion on Fernando Alonso

I can support Brazil no problem, but celebrating neymar doing anything is the moment I draw the line.

Does anyone else’s chest clench uncomfortably, lungs feel too tight, or when they talk or yell it feels like your lungs are on fire but also getting shredded?

Just me? 

Okay...

THAT IS THE NIGHTMARE OKAY! I STILL CHECK THE TOILET FOR ANY!! YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY WILL ATTACK!!!

i don’t know about you guys but the main reason i am still on tumblr in 2024 is BECAUSE it is the most cloutless least influential social media app out there and that is the experience i am after. absolutely none of this will ever translate into significant attention or real success in my life and that is so beautiful.

probably my most powerful interpersonal communication hack is to, whenever possible, ask either/or questions rather than yes/no questions

for example, when chatting with coworkers, i’ll often ask if they have any fun weekend plans. but let’s be real - we all feel like friendless losers when someone asks that question and we go “uhhhhh… no.” so instead, i phrase it as “so, do you have anything fun planned over the weekend, or are you just going to enjoy having some time to relax?”

phrased like this, there’s rarely any awkwardness. you’ve presented two options & given both equally positive connotations, so your conversational partner has an automatic “out,” so to speak

but it works for higher stakes conversations too!!!! my mom was saying this weekend how she and her neighbor both like walking around the neighborhood & that she wanted to suggest they take a walk together sometime, but was worried about how to approach the conversation

so i said “how about you just say ‘i’ve noticed we both like taking walks! would you be interested in going for one together, or do you use walks for some precious alone time?’”

now Walking Neighbor has an automatic “get out of jail free card” if she wants to say no!!!! which means my mom doesn’t have to worry about the conversation being uncomfortable, because she’s set it up to go smoothly

either/or questions rather than yes/no questions. it is really like magic
