#Everybody knows that the dice are loaded

[strangeandun-muse-ual]

13. what’s a weird headcanon you have for each of your muses?

Multimuse asks || Not accepting || @erthlyheavn

I'm thinking about it right now because it came up in a reply, but Vox very firmly believes in the idea of "showing up late to a meeting strictly as a power move." Like he will make you pay if you make him wait, but he will always make you wait if you're meeting him for business-related reasons.

But where it gets weird is that he always is extremely precise in how late he will be. It will vary depending on the situation, but as a baseline, at least a minute and forty-five seconds--just enough time to get everyone a little teensy bit tense but not enough to actually throw off his schedule. There are a number of checks and variables he has in place to determine exactly how much he'll run over:

Customer or buyer of services is having a first meeting with him: 7 minutes, 53 seconds

A "Somebody Outside This Room Ha Fucked Up" meeting: 2 minutes, 5 seconds

A "Somebody Inside This Room Has Fucked Up" meeting: 39 minutes, 12 seconds

Engineering/R&D is presenting something to him: 14 minutes, 57 seconds

The reasons for these extremely specific timeframes are a mystery to anyone but him. He has an internal clock that he uses to time his follow-through on this policy down to the second.

Chaz is actually a really good cook. In addition to working for the mob, he also has spent a fair bit of time working in and out of kitchens, pretty much doing every job in bars and restaurants that you can do. Between that and living alone and being broke as fuck for most of his adult life, he's learned how to be really resourceful when it comes to cooking.

More than a few less-than-stellar one night stands were at least partially saved by him making a pretty killer morning after breakfast.

If you draw a square with tape on the floor, Husk will stand in it.

He does not understand why.

warnings: nothing, slightly suggestive at the end

a/n: wrote this in an hour or two. saw alexia's look and couldn't resist it lol. first piece for her! hope you enjoy :)

Ballon d'Or night. One of the most anticipated nights of the year. Especially for your girlfriend. Having won two of the awards herself, she was well acquainted with the prestige that came with the event.

Just like last year, though, the ceremony took place right in the middle of Alexia's international break. She'd cursed the people in charge for the ridiculous planning last year, but seemingly it hadn't gone any better this time around. Flying out from their national camp wasn't the most ideal situation, but Alexia thanked her lucky stars that the RFEF were quite loose around the whole ordeal – allowing her and her national teammates the time and space to fly over to Paris.

Despite her best efforts, Alexia knew she wasn't going to win it this year. She'd put her bets on Aitana or Caroline, who both had an incredibly year of football under their belt. The Spanish midfielder, who had still been struggling with niggles throughout the past season, wasn't tipped as one of the favorites for the award this year. Not that she minded, though. She'd won the award twice and was more than happy for her teammates to be showered in the praise that they deserved. All in all, Alexia always enjoyed her nights at the ceremony, winning an award or not.

Just like every year, though, the Spaniard wasn't planning on giving you any insight on what she was going to wear. Everybody knew that one of the big things about the Ballon d'Or – footballers and awards aside – was all about the stars rocking up the red carpet in quite the glamorous outfits. Alexia had tried to convince you a couple times to come with her to Paris, but you weren't the one for all the media attention. You much rather stayed on your couch back in Barcelona, watching the live stream like a hawk, attentively eyeing the arriving taxis to try and catch a glimpse of your girlfriend.

A quick glance at your watch told you the time was nearing 7, so you knew she had to be about done with the preparations of her look. You decided to send her a text.

To: Amor ❤️ "Go have a good time tonight, baby. Orgulloso de ti. I love you ❤️"

You knew how much Alexia adored it when you mixed your usual English with some Spanish, forever a sucker for you speaking her mother tongue. You'd gone out of your way to try and master the language, knowing how much it meant to her if you'd be able to communicate to the part of her family that didn't know the English language as well as she did. You hadn't anticipated a text back at all, but you were pleasantly surprised at the buzz of your phone a couple moments later.

From: Amor ❤️"Eres el mejor. Thinking about you. I'll call you later 😘"

A little over an hour had passed when Alexia finally emerged on the livestream. You were caught up with cooking dinner, your laptop stood on the counter behind you while you were prepping your vegetables. You turned around, planning to throw the diced tomatoes in a different bowl, but your actions got cut short when you caught a glimpse of your girlfriend on the screen.

"My God," you breathed out silently. Vegetables completely forgotten about, you quickly put your cutting board back down and turned your full attention towards your laptop. She was wearing a striped, charcoal-colored pair of trousers, combined with nothing but a suit vest that tied at her waist. The vest showed the perfect amount of cleavage and chest, leaving just enough to the imagination. She wasn't wearing loads of make-up, but it was visible, just as you knew she liked it. Her hair was perfectly slicked back into a bun, her ears adorning a pair of sparkling earrings that perfectly accentuated the simplicity of the look. She looked incredible. You weren't expecting anything less, but she never failed to take your breath away in moments like these.

You watched her pose for the cameras on the red carpet, accompanied by all her Barcelona teammates, but you couldn't tear your eyes away from her. Now it was your turn to scold the decision to hold the event during international break, mourning the opportunity for her to come home to you and you to admire her look in the flesh. Before long, the camera panned away from her and caught a bunch of new arrivals, which you took as your cue to try and continue your dinner preparations.

As much as you were distracted by her and her look, and she clouded your thoughts at any given moment, you managed to cook yourself a meal. The ceremony well underway by now, you plopped down on the couch and watched the rest. Barcelona were crowned as Team of the Year, Alexia receiving the award in name of her team. You decided to try your luck and send the Spaniard another text. You knew she didn't keep her phone on her during events like these, but maybe you'd get lucky and get a response from her within a couple hours when she was in her hotel room.

To: Amor ❤️ "Ale, you look amazing. You've outdone yourself. I'm so in love with you. Me dejas sin aliento cada vez."

As the night went on, the camera kept panning towards your girlfriend. As one of the biggest stars in the room, it was expected for her to have quite some time on air, but it was starting to have its toll on you. Your girlfriend looked incredible but here you were, at home, hours away from your lover. You wanted nothing more than to be there with her, to be able to see her after the ceremony and really show her how much you liked her outfit.

A dull ache started forming between your legs and you knew it was only going to get worse throughout the evening. Without the prospect of having your girlfriend around, you knew it was going to be a long night.

Before long, the ceremony ended and you decided to make your way upstairs. It was quite late already, the event stretching out into the late hours of the night, so you decided it would be best for you to try and get some rest before Alexia inevitably called you up deeper in the night.

You'd managed to get a couple hours of sleep before your body got abruptly woken by the shrill noice of Alexia's ringtone blaring through your bedroom. You had put your volume to the maximum, knowing you were quite the deep sleeper, and you were glad that it had worked. You palmed your nightstand with one eye open looking for your phone, nearly declining her call before you managed to get it with you on the mattress, accepting her call and putting her on speaker.

"Hola, amor," Alexia quipped, her voice still quite energetic despite the late hour she called at. You glanced at the clock on your night stand, reading 1:36am. "Hi, baby," you replied, a small smile creeping up your face upon hearing the voice of your girlfriend. "How are you?"

"Mhm, good. Thank you. How are you?" you heard rustling in the background, assuming she was getting into bed. "Good. A little tired, though", you didn't want to make Alexia feel bad but her response seemed like you did. "Lo siento, amor. Do you want me to let you sleep? I know it's late," you shook your head at that but quickly verbally disagreed, realizing she couldn't see you through the phone. "No, no. I've missed you and I'm glad I'm speaking to you."

"Did you watch?" a slight chuckle escaped your lips, Alexia's question almost felt like mockery. "Of course I did, Ale. You never let me know what you're going to wear beforehand, so I have to find out through the stream!"

You didn't have to see her face to know that she had a shit-eating grin on her face now. "Mhm, I guess you're right. What did you think?" you rolled your eyes as a slight smile tugged on the corner of your lips. "What did I think? I told you through text, no?" you decided you could tease her a little before giving her what she wanted.

You heard a faint groan on the other side of the call. "Si, you did."

"Kidding, bébé. You looked perfect, honestly. You know how much I love it when you wear a suit vest. It accentuates your chest perfectly," you finished, your mind already thinking back about how good your girlfriend looked in her outfit tonight. "I knew you'd like it. Nice surprise?" you thought about how the way she looked left a throbbing between your legs throughout the rest of the night. "Very nice surprise. Just a shame that I can't get to show you just how much I appreciated the way you looked tonight."

Alexia hummed, an amused lilt seeping through. "Anything specific on your mind?" you didn't know how to approach this, not knowing whether Alexia was feeling a change of mood at this time of the night. "Well, let's say that you had me thinking about all the things I would do to you if you'd let me take that suit off you," Alexia let out a deep breath. "Dios mio, amor. You know there's nothing I would've wanted more than to come home to you tonight and let you take it off me."

Alexia's words did nothing to soothe the aching between your legs, if anything it only spurred you on further. "Ale," you started, taking a deep breath trying to ground yourself. "You have to stop right now," you tried to sound deterministic. "Why?" she quipped back, clearly enjoying the way she was working you up. "Because I'm already worked up, and you're not here, so you can't do anything about it. If I want to be able to get some sleep later, you need to turn it down a little."

"Who says I can't help you?" Alexia's words were spoken softly, almost as if she was unsure about what she was proposing. You frowned before speaking up. "Hmm? What do you mean?" a couple moments passed before the Spaniard spoke again. "I don't know, maybe we could be on the phone while you,..." Alexia trailed off, but you remained silent, wanting her to voice what she wanted. "...while you take care of what I started."

Your cheeks turned a deeper shade of red at the proposition she just made. "You want to talk me through it... over the phone?" you tried, wanting to make sure that the both of you were on the same page. "Sí, si quieres?"

"Yeah," you breathed out nervously, feeling the thrill of the newness of the situation. You and Alexia hadn't done anything like this before. You'd shared a couple pictures and videos with each other while the midfielder was at camp, trying to bridge the couple weeks that she was away, but you had never thought about phone sex. It wasn't something that had been brought up yet and you hadn't deemed it as something either of you two needed, the both of you more than satisfied with your sex life at was, but you couldn't deny the pang of arousal that shot towards your core every time you thought about Alexia talking you through your orgasm over the phone.

"Yeah, I want this." "Perfecto, corazón. Now spread your legs and let me make you feel good."

Happy Inauguration Day.

HI i just finished reading the comic and it's so so incredible!!!! your art is gorgeous and your work with the story is completely unmatched <3

I've been listening to the song Butcher Vanity by Vane Lily a lot and it strikes me as a Deepdark song!

Thank you! I'm so glad you like the comic. I agree, Deepdark's desire to kill and eat and never stop consuming is what defines him. I'll use the chance to share a PMV by my pal Katti, the creator of The Exiled comic who made a really excellent PMV with the song :)

I think someone else had the same idea as well, it looks like it's already been suggested before :) but yes it does fit very well! Any song about a land/town/etc that's been cursed and rotten forever works great.

Tell me now of the very soul that look alike, look alike Do you know the stranglehold covering their eyes? If I call on every soul in the land, on the moon Tell me if I'll ever know a blessing in disguise

The curse ruled from the underground, down by the shore And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before

I never knew this song was from the Justice League movie?? Wow, that's wild. It is a good song for PATFW as a whole.

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor, the rich get rich That's how it goes Everybody knows

I have! In fact, the song "Hellfire" is the character theme song for Cootstorm. I made a drawing of it awhile ago.

Did you know that in fact someone made an animated video with Rainhaze to this very song? It's really cool, you should check it out!

Yeah, it's pretty Rainhaze! Especially in his post-Asphodelpaw murder manic phase.

If you knew what I knew, if you saw what I see You’d look through illusions, hallucinations, and lucid dream And I know that meaning can be such a pretty thing to keep But I got facts and I’m not afraid to use ‘em, take the good with the bad, take off the back you make a new front Some days I'm glad that I am a madman and I’d rather be that than An amicable animal, mild-mannered cannibal

Aww wait :(

Looks like the cat did a number on you Vienna, oh He took a brick off the side of the stoop Poor vienna It'll be over soon Your mamas waiting for ya But you're not coming home

Your mamas been so worried Cause you never came home Beneath the ground you're buried In memoriam

Yes I think it could be! Even more, I think it's exemplary of Deepdark's general charisma and desire to recruit people into Defiance, reminiscent of his speech from Issue 28.

You and me should go outside And beat 'em, beat 'em, beat 'em, beat 'em, beat 'em All pathetic flag waving ignorant geeks And we'll eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em, eat 'em

Come join the cause, come join the cause Who wants to come with me and come join the cause? Hide in the sky, hide in the sky Who wants to come with me and hide in the sky?

Oh, my mom loves this album, I grew up listening to it. This does remind me a bit of them, how sweet and sad.

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes Let them know you realize that life goes fast It's hard to make the good things last You realize the sun doesn't go down It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do you realize That you have the most beautiful face? Do you realize?

What a unique take on their relationship! I do like the theme of Ranger guiding Rainhaze's hand, and the parent-child energy is very interesting for them. Interesting take on Mordred, for that matter.

Guileless Son, I'll shape your belief And you'll always know that your father's a thief And you won't understand the cause of your grief But you'll always follow the voices beneath

Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty Loyalty only to me

'Calling Daddy,' the Hellexa on the end table answered back. It only took a couple of rings, before Vox answered with a very measured sigh.

"What's up, Val? I got a meeting in five, so I need to be down there in exactly six minutes and 45 seconds, what's going on?"

Across the city, Husk stared down at the phone, wondering just what the fuck he was getting himself into. What the spider did was his own damn business. Husk had enough trouble to deal with, working for a freakshow like Alastor--he didn't need to go inviting anymore into his life.

Valentino was, as he usually was, pretty fucking drunk. The reason had started as some social drinking at the club, which had devolved into him taking a few drinks in his office while he worked. It had then, at some point, ended up with him in his limousine with a few more drinks.

And, eventually, on Vox's couch, upside down and uncomfortable with Vark staring at him.

"Hey, Vox!" He called like he always did at his house, or any one of his business ventures, "Vox, pickup! 'M atcher house 'n I needa know how much monies Angie owes me. You d-do my finances..."

Hey Tal! I was preparing stuffed jacket potatoes for my family and it made me wonder;

"If each race was given a baked potato (any veriety), what would they stuff it with? (Let's pretend the bosmer is non pact compliant but still likes honoring their roots.)"

Since you'll find potatoes in every other barrel across Tamriel, you can bet that stuffed baked potatoes are probably the most universal dish we know of. Whether you love them or were fed too many of them as a child, there's a baked potato out there for everyone in Tamriel.

Altmer

You know what, the High Elves really have to be fancy about everything. Instead of gutting and filling your regular jumbo jacket potato like literally everybody else, they make large hasselback potatoes and painstakingly insert ingredients between the slots before baking. These laborious (but admittedly delectable) potatoes are usually offered filled with either four cheeses; mozzarella, tomatoes, and pesto; roasted vegetables with tapenade, or pancetta, gruyere, and sausage.

Argonians

Baked potatoes are great for playing a heated game of teeba-hatsei with, much to the rage of many an Argonian parent who had painstakingly made dinner. When they're not being slapped around for a laugh, Argonians eat their baked potatoes by making a well in the centre and crack a hot quail egg in, before topping it with deep fried mealworms or crickets and a bit of lime sambal. Scramble it up and you're good to go!

Bosmer

To every Green Pact-abiding Wood Elf I'm about to sadden with this, I apologise in advance for what I'm about to propose. But imagine a lovely jacket potato stuffed with a good slathering of smoked timber mammoth cheese atop battered thunderbug eggs, smoked bristleback bacon, jalapeño mayo, and sweetgnat butter. I don't need to imagine it; I made one with my friend Berrilyn, and it was glorious. Definitely on the heavy side, but loaded with every good ingredient Valenwood has to offer!

Bretons

Cheap, filling, and delicious. That's all a baked potato needs to be in High Rock, making it one of the Province's most popular foods among the common folk. Just about every sauce-based dish you can think of can go onto a jacket potato, from melted roquefort, goose egg, and dry cured ham to the classic combination of tomato beans and candied bacon rashers, and even reusing yesterday's Tarragon Chicken! There aren't really any limits on what you can fill a jacket potato with in High Rock, as long as you have a good knob of butter in there!

Dunmer

While potatoes are a perfectly standard and valid ingredient in Morrowind, I know you all want to hear about jacket ash yams. Popularised by Ashlanders, who bake their potatoes on lava, jacket ash yams can be found at every tavern and cornerclub across the Province. Minced nix-ox in a spicy comberry ragout; scrambled kwama eggs with caramelised scathecraw; and even Hackle-lo and Scuttle Curry are at home on a big, piping lava-hot ash yam. Don't forget to get some crunchy deep-fried kwama scrib to go on top- well worth the gold, I promise!

If you get the hankering for a taste of Morrowind, try my Raven Rock Baked Ash Yams.

Imperials

There are two rules surrounding baked potatoes in Cyrodiil: the potatoes must always be Jumbo Potatoes, and you must always use olive oil instead of butter. With that flavour profile in mind, think simple, complementary toppings like sundried tomatoes with goat cheese and fresh basil; cheese curds and red wine gravy; bresaola, chili oil, and gorgonzola, and browned pine nut butter with a good smear of ricotta and creamed battaglir.

Khajiit

Northern and Southern Elsweyr have a distinct difference in their baked potatoes: the North likes them rich and spicy, while the South prefers sweeter flavours that complement moon sugar. Northern Elsweyr is famous for its fiery curry-filled jacket potatoes, filled to the brim with rich, generally tomato-based curries featuring local ingredients like braised jerboa, pulled terror bird, and diced mutton. Meanwhile in Senchal, you'll find your average baked potato partially filled with things like chicken satay pieces in moon sugar peanut sauce, haloumi with moon sugar syrup, and sweet crispy shrimp and pork floss. But wait, 'partially filled?' Yep! In Southern Elsweyr, the insides of the potato are scooped out and rolled together with powdered moon sugar to make horrifically sweet potato 'candy' for dessert after you've finished your jacket potato. Who am I to judge?

Nords

Mammoth cheese? Horker bacon and smoked kippers? Pulled pheasant in brown ale gravy? All very valid and very traditional Skyrim options. However, I'm jumping up and down at the thought of a baked potato topped with freshly baked salmon or gravlaks with dill, lots of sour cream, and a bit of mustard! Simple, good, and I will shout at anyone who calls this combination bland. You can take the girl out of Riften, but never the Riften out of the girl.

Orcs

Where Wrothgarian Orsimer are concerned, there's a joke that every other meal is a baked potato (and that's sometimes the unfortunate case when a Hearth-Wife isn't very good at her job.) Gooey, mouthwatering echatere cheese raclette is the favoured topping in the region, melted atop of a bed of fillings like spicy wrathberry gravy with echatere or beef chunks; chopped mammoth bratwurst; grilled chub loon with frost mirriam barbecue sauce, and deep fried horker lard bits and sweet-and-spicy minced horker. Indulgent, and by Malacath, they're filling too.

Redguards

Where the Orcs have their echatere cheese on jacket potatoes, Hammerfell loves its goat cheese. Whether it's aged chèvre log slices or fresh and crumbly, you can bet it's going on a baked potato. It's paired with a range of moreish fillings, like harissa and apricot chicken; tender goat mince with a cumin-based curry; battered, fried snake with a tangy and sweet lemon drizzle, and shawarma meat with creamy garlic sauce and caramelised onions.

Day After Election Day

I never talk about politics here (or I try not to), but today is the day after Election Day and I know there's a lot of my followers that are feeling, well, uneasy and sad.

In 2016, in the days after that Election where Trump defeated Clinton, I found myself thinking about Leonard Cohen's 1988 song "Everybody Knows" and that very week Mr. Cohen passed away. The lyrics stung:

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed Everybody knows that the war is over Everybody knows the good guys lost Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor, the rich get rich That’s how it goes Everybody knows

Today I thought I'd share the Concrete Blonde cover from the 1990 film Pump Up The Volume. Now I look at this song a little different than I did in 2016. Now I find myself thinking about the conclusion of Pump Up the Volume, where Mark Hunter AKA Hard Harry pays a price for his pirate radio station, but in the end he fought the good fight, talked about things that needed to be talked about and encouraged his followed to "Talk Hard" and "Steal the Air". Keep fighting the good fight and remember the words of Mr. Joe Strummer:

I leave you with Jon Stewart's post-Election thought: “I promise you, this is not the end. We have to regroup, and we have to continue to fight and continue to work day in and day out to create a better society for our children, for this world, for this country, that we know is possible. It’s possible.” Whoever you voted for or however you're feeling, that's good advice!

[procrastinatingwritersblog]

if it’s true has some FIRE quotes

“and the boy turned to go

cause he thought no one could hear

but everybody knows that walls have ears

and the workers heard him”

there’s a rly good analysis on the last two lines somewhere on tumblr but idk where it is

“cause the ones who tell the lies

are the solemnest to swear

and the ones who load the dice

always say the toss is fair”

this entire verse is just so gooooooooooooood and i love how it segues back into the chorus

The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy 84 - Thirty CC's of Hugs

Day 31 of 100. Hoping for some Free Time. We've had a hell of a last few days and we could all use some downtime.

Looks like the A-Team's the only ones in the kitchen this morning. After what happened yesterday, I'm not surprised.

The diplomatic explanation would be that we've agreed to use the kitchen at different times to avoid stepping on each other's toes while we're still at odds.

The troublemaking asshole explanation would be that we've banished the B-Team from the kitchen and are making them eat the dry bread, which will inevitably sow resentment and raise the level of hostile work environment until it all boils over and someone dies.

Again.

Alright, guys, are we being smart or are we being stupid?

Okay, that's a load off my mind. I was really worried. Like, you have no idea how worried. No offense, I just have zero faith in every single one of you wretched shitweasels. But in a friendly way.

You don't get to talk about this. I asked for a muzzle yesterday. Did anyone get on that? I will also settle for sending him to the Quiet Time Corner whenever we have one of these team meetups.

Oh, hey. Come to negotiate terms of cohabitation on behalf of the B-Team since you're the only one who can be trusted not to blow up and fuck everything up?

I'll warn you right now, the A-Team people who can't be trusted not to blow up and fuck everything up are in the room with us right now so this might not be a good environment for it.

Everybody shut the fuck up and let me speak for you. I don't trust a single one of you to--

Well, Eito.

I don't trust more than a single one of you not to screw this up.

Actually, you can talk too, Darumi. I know you're totally sincere but everyone sees you as an eccentric weirdo and nobody takes anything you say too personally, so there's zero risk that you're going to be the problem-maker.

I'm not saying they have to go fuck themselves. I'm just saying that Gaku makes a fantastic Caprese salad. Just. Take some time to consider that.

OH HEY IT'S THE SMART PEOPLE OPTION

I am so happy you're here, Nozomi. It's nice to have an honest-to-fuck Voice of Reason in the group.

You guys do morning training exercises? Why is your team so cool? I want to be part of that so badly. Ugh, I hate that our people can't get along for five seconds without killing each other, and not in the fun Darumi way.

Also, does Kurara smack her giant tomato face on the ground doing push-ups because that sounds hilarious to watch.

Gaku, I swear on Sirei's diced-up corpse, you're about to be the next body we find in a trash can.

Sorry about him, Kar--Nozomi. He suffers from a chronic medical condition that makes him act like an abrasive asshole to people he doesn't know. It's called Shithead Disease and is treated by a brick to the mouth. I will be sure to have Takemaru medicate him shortly.

...

Is...

...is that what happened to Danganronpa?

...or to Zero Escape?

This is definitely talking about one of the two series but I have no idea which.

I'm inclined to think this is about Zero Escape. Danganronpa was developed by Spike while Zero Escape was developed by Chunsoft. The two companies merged in 2012, the same year that Danganronpa 2 and the second Zero Escape game were released.

Danganronpa went on to have two more games, some books, and an anime released for it after the merger took place. But Zero Escape basically died on the spot.

They only got a third game due to fandom outcry for another entry, and they had to go to a third-party developer for it instead of developing in-house like the previous two or the Danganronpa games.

Zero Time Dilemma came out, it was really cool, fans loved it, and then the book was basically closed and Zero Escape was never spoken of again.

Stop being a creep, Takumi, before Takemaru has to medicate us too.

I want so badly to detach from Takumi and go hang out with Nozomi and the Gal Squad. I bet Kurara and Kyoshika have so many colorful text boxes that they're pouring into Nozomi's ears about Takumi right now and I desperately want to be a part of it. I bet Kurara's already calling him a--

OH MY GOD SHOUMA

IS THAT WHERE THIS COMES FROM!?

PARENTAL ABUSE!?

I no longer care about whatever we were just talking about. I NEED THIRTY CC'S OF HUGS IN HERE FOR SHOUMA, STAT!

For real, I don't even know what Takumi thinks he and Nozomi are even going to say to each other if he gets this ultra-critical private conversation he's obsessed about.

"Hi, we don't know each other but you might be the parallel universe variant of someone I care about so can you just like pretend you're my girlfriend for five minutes and tell me that I'm doing okay? That would really validate my existence."

God, I hope we're not going in the direction of the Replacement Goldfish Romance.

Everybody knows that you love me baby Everybody knows that you really do Everybody knows that you've been faithful Ah, give or take a night or two Everybody knows you've been discreet But there were so many people you just had to meet Without your clothes And everybody knows

And everybody knows that it's now or never Everybody knows that it's me or you And everybody knows that you live forever Ah, when you've done a line or two Everybody knows the deal is rotten Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton For your ribbons and bows And everybody knows

And everybody knows that the Plague is coming Everybody knows that it's moving fast Everybody knows that the naked man and woman Are just a shining artifact of the past Everybody knows the scene is dead But there's gonna be a meter on your bed That will disclose What everybody knows

And everybody knows that you're in trouble Everybody knows what you've been through From the bloody cross on top of Calvary To the beach of Malibu Everybody knows it's coming apart Take one last look at this Sacred Heart Before it blows And everybody knows

Everybody knows That's how it goes Everybody knows

[not-a-nice-man-to-know]

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded, Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed, Everybody knows that the war is over, Everybody knows the good guys lost.

Hi 💕

I saw your post about the shufflemancy! I think it’s really neat and was wondering if it’s at all possible to get a message from my s/o Seb?

I really appreciate it! ✨💚

-Em 💛

Hi Em!!

Seb’s message to you:

Lyrics standing out:

“Head lights shining bright in the middle of the day

Two black Cadillacs meeting for the first time

He was a good man

Loving both of them for so long

His brother said he was a good friend

The room turns

He’s not the only one who had a secret to hide”

Alright, I believe there are two separate messages for you from this song. The first one is in regards of your shifting journey. If you have multiple DR’s, that is amazing, but it’s easy to get overwhelmed with the thought and fantasy of all of those and lose focus of why you’re shifting in the first place and your sense of self. Seb and possibly a few of your other spirit guides are telling you to maybe take a step back and focus on one thing at a time. Remember it’s called REALITY shifting, for a reason. It’s is real, you are changing YOUR REALITY. Too much at once can overwhelm you and cause you to lose yourself very easily.

The second meaning of this song is literally Seb telling you, he is a jealous man. Not necessarily in a toxic way, but he definitely wants others to know that you’re his.

Also, random thought, maybe try shifting during the day, meditation may be helpful as well.

Lyrics standing out:

“The dice are loaded

The rich get rich

Captain lied

Everybody got this broken feeling

Lost every road

You love me, baby

You’ve been faithful

Now or never

Me or you

Live forever

When you’ve got a life or two

It’s moving fast

To the beach of Malibu

The sacred heart”

Okay, yes, this is also to help you with your shifting journey. You may have started shifting in 2020 or got your start in shifting from tiktok and this lead you to a lot of misinformation. Due to that, there may have been many “failed attempts” (I personally believe there is no such thing as a “failed shifting attempt”. Every time you “attempt to shift”, you shift. It may not be to your DR, but you shifted nonetheless. Remember that you’ve already shifted to your desired reality, you’re just waiting for the physical plane to catch up. Sorry about my little rant) or times of demotivation. Seb is saying to preserver. You’ve been loyal this whole time, why stop now? You have the power to become aware in your DR, you simply just have to do it. Keep finding what works for you and learning the true information about shifting.

Lyrics standing out:

“There’s an antique shop

I walked in

Two lovers laughing on the porch of their first head

In another life, you still would’ve turned my head

Read your love letters every single night

Even in a different life we would’ve been timeless

Time stood still

Time forgot

A book covered in cobwebs

They fell in love like we did

I was forced to marry another man

Runaway and left it all behind

We were supposed to find this

Like an age old classic

I’m gonna love you when our hair is turning gray

Even if we’d met on a crowded street in 1944

Something in my head said stop, so I walked in”

He wants to remind you of everything you have in your DR. (For some reason, I can see you all dancing in the kitchen.) You were supposed to find shifting. He loves you and you love him, so go to him. Remember that time is not linear, so don’t worry that you will lose him or shifting. Seb is always going to be there for you. The same for shifting, it will always be there. Shifting is an action, and your means of transportation to your DR.

Lyrics standing out:

“I’ll wait for you

Im obsessive and I love too hard

I can be needy

Tell me how good it feels to be needed

Sorry if I say sorry way too much

You can go ahead and call me selfish

I need your touch

Passionate

Good at overthinking”

Stop overthinking shifting. It is simple, you’re becoming aware of what already exists. You didn’t even have to create it. Think of it as finding a deeper part of yourself. Seb says he will wait for you, but he is selfish and needs you. Take however long you need. Seb wants you to know how deeply he cares for you and he loves you passionately. He knows he’s selfish and he’s sorry for coming off too strong in the last but it was purely out of love. When you think of Seb, think of a part of yourself that you are diving into and feel those connections and emotions. That is what will help you fully shift.

I really hope this was helpful, you beautiful soul. Please leave a review and let me know if this resonates :)

CHANCE

CHANCE

spied you

playing with dice

betting as you were

against the cosmos

maybe

it would be better

to play with fire

sad to see you lost

sad to

tell everybody

something to do

with cursed sequence

and bad fractals

I know this

been there

done that

watched from my

fiction of a promontory

as everything ran

down

hill from here

Valentino Rossi

popping a wheelie

in sixth gear

thought

I could have

another go another throw

by unanimous consent

agree to reconsider

last last chance

the dice so obviously

heavily loaded

ninety-nine

times out of

a hundred to

cast snake eyes
