#I don't even like mosquitoes but I'm going to try to kill them I'm going to do it as quick as possible

Vent post kinda

People treat plants too much like objects. Yeah they might not have the same awareness as an animal but they're still alive. I saw a painted succulent and I felt horrible for it it was essentially being suffocated. You wouldn't paint a dog and people who do are seen as weird and potentially abusive.

Plants are alive. If you want something that you can do whatever you want to with no consequences get a plastic plant cuz even plants can only handle so much abuse before they die

Plants and animals are alive they're not toys. Life is precious. Please show life respect it's not going to be around forever.

[thedisablednaturalist]

If you are someone who hates bugs and kills them on sight (except for those that can actually cause considerable harm) please..just..take a second...think before you act. Does that bug need to die? Are you killing it just to feel better?

Yes, phobias are real. I have arachnophobia. And it's taken a long time for me to get to the point I'm at now where i can hold jumping spiders and be sort of near wolf spiders. I still struggle but to be in a field where you're outside a lot, you have to get comfortable with spiders sometimes crawling on you.

The first step is respect. You don't have to like or enjoy bugs. But you need to respect what their role is in the environment. To make it easier, think of animals you DO like and learn about their relationship with bugs. You really like birds? Well guess what a ton of birds eat. Even birds that don't directly eat bugs may eat things that do (ya know the whole food web thing). Bugs also may positively impact their environment through nutrient cycling, eating other, more destructive bugs, eating harmful molds, bacteria, or fungi, pollination, etc.

I used to be skeeved out by a lot of bugs, particularly bug larvae. Guess what I'm studying right now? Invertebrates are so interesting once you get past the initial discomfort.

Many of us believe invertebrates = gross/scary. This needs to stop. Invertebrates are going extinct so fast and because everyone hates them we don't have enough research to even know how many we are losing. Pesticides/herbicides have completely wiped out a significant portion of the invertebrate population, and that's along with other things like pollution, ocean acidification, invasive species, etc.

We are losing spiders. We are losing centipedes. We are losing tiny flies. We are losing worms and beetles and bees and wasps. We are losing butterflies and fireflies. Some invertebrate species only exist in one small pond or cave. Some have never actually been seen and some have only been seen once. And its affecting all of us. Fish are disappearing from streams because there's nothing to eat. Amphibians are disappearing because there's nothing to eat (and bc of chytrid fungus). Bats are disappearing because there's nothing to eat (and bc of white nose syndrome). Pangolins, axolotls, red pandas, armadillos, woodpeckers, monkeys, salamanders, these all have diets that are either partially or only fulfilled by bugs.

I go outside in the summer, and don't even have to use bug spray anymore. I remember getting chased by swarms of nats and mosquitos. Nights glittering with hundreds of fireflies. Now I only worry about mosquitos in the spring by the water. Even then I have maybe 5 bites at most, when before I used to be covered in bites from being outside. Before I was born, windshields used to be COVERED in bugs when you went down the highway.

Please, you don't have to like them, but please make an effort to change your initial reaction. They are earthlings just like us. They don't deserve to die because they aren't cute. We need more funding and research. They are getting wiped out and people think that's a fucking good thing. Stop using bug zappers. Try using bug repellent that doesn't have DEET in it (only use it if absolutely necessary), take the bug out in a cup and piece of paper, use methods other than pesticides to get pests out of your garden. Yes sometimes you need to kill a tick or get the termites or ants out of your house. Sometimes a venomous spider gets in your house and it's not safe to handle them. Sometimes they are killing your plants and you need to get rid of them. But a harmless millipede who's one defense is to literally curl into a little spiral and is completely harmless? Does it really have to die?

PIZZA

!pairing- pizza buyer!jake x pizza lover!reader

: ̗̀➛ you are now listening to "PIZZA" by OOHYO ´ˎ˗

! synopsis- jake has always been the one suggesting and ordering the meals whenever everybody hung out. and when a sudden confession by jake is presented to y/n, it makes her realize that there's actually a deeper meaning towards his choice of order: pizza.

! word count: 1.2k

! includes- fluff, college life, pizzaaa

an unbearable feeling of stuffiness filled the young airy night, with mosquitos swarming every light post on the street- leading everyone to stay at home with their air conditioners on.

especially for y/n and her guy friends; they had to blast the ac on to replace the odoriferous fume of sweat consuming the apartment.

with everyone in the building, ravenous for food, it was merely a tractable situation. once in a while when everyone agreed to meet at the same dorm room, jake would ask to order pizza. and with familiarity, everyone would settle on his request and head to the convenient store for alcohol. since finals were published and summer was finally here, they were probably going to spend more time together.

"i'm hungry," junhoo dreadfully groaned on the couch.

"should we order pizza?" jake asked with a smirk across his face, sitting next to junhoo, knowing the obvious reply.

"yeah. yeah. hurry up and order," junhoo remarked, waving his arms frantically, expressing his nonchalant yet desperate hunger. jake swiftly got his phone out to take orders.

"1 cheese, 1 pepperoni, and 1 everything?" he asked, not looking away from his screen.

"don't forget the can of coke." eunwoo noted, entering the living room with y/n.

"you guys genuinely need to take a shower," y/n scrunched her nose, interrupting the list of foods being ordered. "all i smell is sweat and it's killing me. eunwoo and i opened the ones in the rooms."

"i'll open the windows," jake said, taking initiative to y/n's complaints.

"where are the freshmen at?" junhoo asked.

"doyoon said he's coming with the rest of them in 20 minutes," y/n said, checking her phone.

"okay perfect. pizza is coming in 20. we can go get alcohol." jake said, finalizing his order.

"let's go!!!" junhoon excitedly yelled.

=====

y/n, jake, eunwoo, and junhoon quickly got their wallets and headed to the convenience store to buy some alcohol and chips. they busily dumped in their favorite snacks and left the store happily, carefree of their problems at the moment.

y/n had a popsicle stick in her mouth, trying to eat it faster than the hot weather that was melting it, following the rest of the guys behind with jake by her side.

"wait, y/n." jake suddenly pulled y/n behind, stopping the both of them from their tracks while the others continued to walk away.

"what's wrong?" y/n asked with a puzzled look.

"i have something to tell you," he said.

"all of a sudden? okay," y/n awkwardly laughed, unsure what he'd bring up.

"this is really random timing but i felt like i should tell you today." jake began his confession. y/n stood still, listening carefully to what jake was saying, noticing his shift to a serious demeanor.

"um. i really like you. not as a friend but, you know, as a girl." jake confessed. before y/n could even comprehend what jake said, he interrupted, "but you don't have to tell me your response right now. i'll wait." the air began to feel quiet and cold. y/n's empty response left the both in an awkward situation.

"i-," before y/n could say anything, jake ran away, heading the opposite way of where both the guys and the apartment lay.

y/n felt confused. jake had just confessed and abruptly ran away. what kind of a confession was that? y/n slightly laughed with her only presence, confused yet flustered.

after y/n had walked alone back to the apartment, she realized that jake had not returned. actually, nobody had heard back from jake after the incident. even when the rest of the guys would meet, jake was nowhere to be seen.

"now that jake isn't here, we haven't eaten pizza at all" junhoo suddenly realized.

"you're right," doyoon said. "probably because y/n liked them so much," he mumbled- a bit too obvious for everyone to hear.

eunwoo batted an eye at doyoon. "oh shoot," he said slyly.

"wait what?" y/n asked.

"gosh finally. i was wondering when we were going to tell her," junhoo said, letting out a sigh while rolling his eyes.

"jake would order pizza all the time because you liked them so much. apparently you mentioned really really liking pizza during orientation or something and he remembered. what a creep."

"he was so persistent. i was kind of concerned," doyoon laughed.

"i thought we promised to keep it a secret?" eunwoo interrupted.

"oh he confessed already." a freshman butted in.

"what???" everyone yelled at once, looking at y/n for confirmation. y/n just nodded, unsure what to say.

"seriously? when?" eunwoo asked, feeling betrayed by his best friend.

"he confessed the night we went to go get alcohol and i came back alone..." y/n uttered, embarrassed to admit the situation. how could jake just run off like that?

"oh so that's why you came alone... wait- did you reject him???" junhoo assumed, not liking the silence y/n was giving.

"no. he asked to give him a response later, although i have no idea when that is." y/n said, looking away.

"and that coward just never came back to hear your response? wow." eunwoo said, even ashamed of his action.

another moment of silence filled the room. everyone had been walking on eggshells since freshman year whenever jake would mention y/n, not wanting to poke him in any way.

"well!" junhoo exclaimed. "let's have some pizza y/n likes..."

=====

while everyone enjoyed the pizza, y/n ate the pizza with a blank expression. she was processing everything the guys had said. so jake liked y/n since orientation? wow...

y/n had decided to head to the convenient store alone to clear her head, grabbing the alcohol as well on her way. as she headed out the store, she saw a familiar figure leaning against a gated fence, staring blankly at the ground.

"jake?" y/n called out, walking towards him.

"oh hey, y/n" he replied, looking up to meet eye contact.

"omg. where were you? we were worried."

jake didn't respond. he just stayed leaning, observing every detail on y/n's face.

"i had some things to solve. sorry i couldn't reply to the group chat." he said sincerely.

"it's fine. the boys are over. let's go eat," y/n said, raising up the bag of alcohol and swinging it to show jake.

"wait," jake stopped y/n from her tracks by the wrist. he stayed silent, hoping that y/n would break it. "never mind..." he backed away, letting go of her wrist.

y/n replaced the silence by saying, "pizza sucks without you."

"what?" jake looked puzzled.

"i said pizza sucks without you…”y/n repeated herself. “and summer has been boring without you... and everything has sucked without you." 

he looked shocked by y/n's response, his face turning bright red.

"let's go," y/n declared, taking jake's hand, giving him an assuring face.

"wait." jake pulled y/n by the hand, her proximity becoming closer.

"just like how much you like your pizzas, that's how much i like you." jake slowly grabbed y/n by the chin and kissed her lips.

cod incorrect quotes #2

Second post and of course it's more incorrect quotes. Creature of habit and all that.

I have these saved in an entirely unorganized text editor file, so I feel like me posting something twice is inevitable. Again, mainly Y/N stuff, platonic and romantic. Also has some Soapghost and Alerudy!

I am also making this post at 4 am because I am pulling an all-nighter. Lady Gaga is blasting in the background. No guarantees for anything.

"Supernova trio stranded on the wild island"

Law: Alright. We need to find water source first. Then build a camp nearby, but not too close to avoid the mosquito attack. Then we should check surroundings for food. Our best course of actions is to look for bird nests and eat the eggs in them. Do not eat any berry, they might be poisonous, and under any circumstances DO NOT eat the meat without thermic processing first. Am I being clea-...

Kid and Luffy who's sit on top of freshly killed bear and eating its meat while fully covered in blood: Huh? Why can't we eat raw meat??

Law: ARE FUCKING SHITTIN ME RIGHT NOW-

________________

I hc that Kid and Luffy have pretty similar childhood.

Kid was a feral child, but instead of having home to sleep or people to care about him, he had nothing, but himself. He also considers Killer his brother or just something like a brother. Perhaps he didn't even knew what the brother/sister/father/mother was, so he just figured that Killer is something that Kid don't want kill.

Killer wasn't a feral child from his birth like Kid was, but instead was left alone on the island by his parents. He knew a lot and was hanging out with Kid to not feel lonely and in danger all the time. Of course, wild life got him twisted too, but he's still pretty intelligent.

They grow protective of each other, hanging out, playing and fighting with the others.

I headcanon that their home was more of the trash island than the solid ground. There was enough of garbage to freely stand on it, but you could sometimes sink deep inside the trashy deep seas.

Killer just noticed that Kid loved doing stuff with the garbage, so he scavenged some engineering book and gifted to Kid. He went "The fuck's a book?", "It's a tones of paper glued together with words, that contains information. This one contains information about engineering", " The fuck's words???". They had to go... Through a lot of explanations Killer's childish brain could come up with. But Kid liked the gift when he understood what he was reading. He actually build a toy robot and was so happy about it. He decided to give it to Killer as a thank you present.

Then they met Victoria who became "a girl they don't want to kill so she can hang with them", and yes, Killer thought of them like siblings.

They kicked some asses, made friendships and alliances, had adventures and made promises to become pirates together.

And then Victoria dies. But unlike Sabo she dies for real. And Kid is devastated. Firstly, because he never thought that someone's death could make him feel so bad (and there were a lot of people and animals dying in here), and secondly, because he loved her dearly. And Killer as the most level-headed person in here (also really devastated, but had to remain calm, because Kid needed him) just stayed there trying to snap him out of it, but the only thing that Kid heard was a fainted "Kid!.. Kid?.. Kid. Don't look at her. Look at me. Look. At. Me. Calm down. I'm here. Please, just calm down. Please". When Kid finally looked at him he just saw how fucking scared and panicked and dirty and wet and bloody his friend was, and it just snapped him out of it.

Kid just brought together the other gang's and defeated the biggest and most dangerous gang in the whole island. I like to believe that after that he couldn't even look at Killer's face again, because the only thing he saw was his face that night. Killer was devastated and hurting much more. He was much intelligent and smart and clearly understood some things better than Kid did, and that's why Kid thought that something that Killer was going through was much worse than he had it. And Kid swore to become much stronger to never see that expression on Killer's face again. And Killer just understood that Kid would never look at his face as usual again, so he just covered it with mask, to make it easier for Kid to look him in the eyes, even if it was just holes.

I like to think that Kid, just like Law, sees Victoria in Luffy: the energetic, stubborn and freedom loving. At first he showed some interest in him, but then just made some parallels, and only then grew much more angry at Luffy for the things none of them couldn't control.

Ouch, that went too far into the angst from the funny silly feral boys doing funny silly feral stuff when their unferal and depressed boyfriend just being angry at them for breaking a lot of sanitary norms.

If you live in Southwestern Ontario, black raspberry season is early! Go pick some!

They look like this:

I don't think anything that kills you looks similar; this isn't a mushroom situation. The leaves look like traditional red raspberry leaves but the fruit is not ripe until black. You will know ripeness because they come off easily in your hand. They have a unique taste and they're very yummy!

You have to forage for these since they aren't cultivated. I have found them at the farmer's market occasionally but just go look in a forest, they grow all over the place. They usually thrive in partial sunlight, so near trails but under trees. They make a lovely jam if you get enough or they go well in smoothies or just eat them. Eat them until you dye yourself purple!

(I grew up in the country and I pick these all the time in the city I live in and people look at me like I'm nuts. I'll eat them right in front of someone and offer them one and they look like I'm trying to poison them. It's just a raspberry! I barely even consider myself to be "foraging" they are just berries. Easy to identify and eat.)

Warning: they grow in the same places that mosquitoes like to hang out so wear bugspray. Also the vines are sharp so be careful out there. But it's worth it I promise you.

Made jam!

I had far too much time during these 24 hours of getting home Xd but I feel so dang proud surprisingly. Even if later I'll regret it cus I barely slept. A bit yes, but not as much as I should have

The Random Tales of Drakgo by @gothicthundra

The villains retreat the ark

I was so invested in this ark I wasn't making any notes while reading hdhdhd so it's not first time reaction and more.... Of a second one ^^· So I had more time to think what I was writing and was monologuing

This is a behemoth of text

(1)

They are so husband and wife. Yhe opening scene reminded me about Mr and Mrs McAllister from Home Alone, when they already were on the plane and Mrs McAllister realized that they forgot something someone

Hoarder Drakken is an eternal mood to me.... But it also made me feel called out

“hard to mess it up” Shego, careful with words

«How could you mess this up?» ma'am.

To be honest, I would get a couples stuff and bunked with my friend, if it was a better deal. We all grown up… can't say it for sure for those two.

Ma'am 🤣 I wasn't and am still not surprised

“I'm done being mad at you” are you sure about that?

«You know how it is traveling with someone. Did he happen to tell you that it's our honeymoon?» just forge that marriage contract already.

Ngl I would want to chill in that cabin thing.

Jet lagged bby, breathe in and out. Feelings are hard

He was sleeping so soundly you didn't have a heart waking him up eh, Shego? ;3 mosquitoes are worse than evil tho

He is a man of many talents, Shego

Them getting ready for resting is making me sleepy XD so cozy

The fact that she keeps feeling insulted over how Drakken is reluctant to join her in the bed makes me laugh so hard

Maam, you are a tsundere... Well, definitely some kind of dere.

"A nice relaxing morning will kill this," sighed Shego as she curled up in her bed. - yeah *sure*

(2)

Drakken needs some undisturbed rest honestly, poor guy is so wind up.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

«Yes, can we alter orders, because I don't want to start this day having an argument about mushrooms," sighed Shego.» I love that she knows he hates mushrooms... And that they argued about them previously xD

🤣🤣🤣 I am so sorry, Shego, that must have been a holiday experience

“why are you naked?” 🤣🤣🤣

There is your answer. Hi, Cleo

And F OTL

The big awkward

You know, I really like those 4 in there. Even if it's just to make a huge argument.

Huh, and I guess it's a side effect of Drakken and Eddie growing up together? Cus I read them as siblings rather than cousins.

Oh boy low blows are all around.

Funny thing about rereading this one more time to make notes that I now see deeper details, that I didn't notice in my rush of the first time. Like Eddie trying to distract girls. He isn't idiot, the guy is smart, his boisterous personality does cover it a lot… which in hindsight, if he times it right can be a great distraction … it already does in some manner

Even for jabs, Eddie can read you so well Drew.

Hmm, hmm… I'm really curious what story lies behind that one

Jesus, someone get a hose

They all are hypocrites and I already forgot who started what

Have I heard before that Ed called Shego by her name? But that, does show that, he wants her to calm down.

What can I say? Villains.

Xd I still find it so funny that every villain decided to go on vacation. Feels like someone gave them this idea especially considering how the ark ended, unless it's some huge cosmic coincidence.… buuuutttt Murphy's law been following Drakken and Shego for a while.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hellooooo~~~ Carmella. Hi, Hench

Aww, friend here! Hi Duff

Ooohhh, yeah I was reading too fast so I didn't see it Xx

Shego, your green is showing

Good candy call, but who knows.

Heh, why this family stuff makes me want to hug those two?

“Cleo? Ha, nah, she's more a casual fling. I mean, she'd go I'm sure, but you know Cleopatra. She's not exactly the ride or die type, seriously," chuckled Ed.” uhu *sips*

Miscommunication all around.

Hello, Pandora and Hermes~

Seriously (grumbles curses at Edward Bartholomew P Lipsky) how those 2 met? Another case of cosmos making foils to Drakken and Shego? Just put of all exes, just so curious.

Ouch OTL I wish there were some apologizes voiced OTL but alas

Eddie, I am still surprised that it was just 10.

PANDORA NO! Ruby… you are going to regret it!

Ok for me it's kinda cute sight of Ed putting arm around Cleo and Carmella - cus it “shows” how small they are xD But I get Drakken's and Shego's feelings too.

Pandora no OTL I have yet to read the whole thing on Tumblr, but with how it all goes in here... Man, thats brutal OTL Pandora... OTL Hermes you are a champ for putting 2 and 2 together. OTL OTL think its also the fact that she is very inebriated takes it to the atmosphere of the thing too.... Yeahhhhh villains were more hardcore back in the day OTL

I am so glad he went for her OTL ;-;

I want to pull them in a hug. OTL the issues *sigh* Drew, maybe time to be honest? You are just in love with her.

Hermes is a champ

*sigh* those two… Once again I say you need couples therapy on top of individual therapy

(3)

Hdhdhd like a child with hand in a cookie jar, but it's just dismantled kitchen appliances. Insomniac Drakken strikes back

I'll never get over how much she knows him, his little habits and reactions.

.... Hehe, Chekhov's gun.

The whole scavenger hunt heh I love every single one of those doofuses. I love seeing them all bond villainous style. And when Drakken sneakily made Shego go through it and her *knowing* what he been up to. And drakken being Indiana Jones

I guessed cooking in Lipsky family means something of a bond between significant others?

Shego, once again you are A CAT. Sidenote. I still don't understand salad with marshmallows, how's that a salad??

CHILDREN XD

Wait is that a salad that Dylan B Hollis made? The diabetes one? ........ That doesn't narrow it down xD

Ah, right, Pandora.

(3)

Yeah... Chick fight alright.

Heh, like I've said. Brothers

“Ran off”? Huh 🤔

OTL

I have no words still, but ough OTL

YAAAY Eddie and Drakken are talking about feelings!

Yeah yeah, Eddie knows his cousin well.

«Ever think you'd be a little less uptight if you guys were...?» cannot believe I say it, I agree with you Ed. But there will be more feelings involved.

Ah :((

*takes a mental note*

(4)

The moment near fire pit it gives difficult combination of emotions. From melancholy, exhaustion to weirdly enough comfort and coziness. Her giving him the bottle without a question and then sharing her turmoil with him. His asking if he can do anything. Heh, even Drakken's quip about staying there or following her. I guess cus it was said in such sense of normality.

Complexity of this all. Even that complicated anger and sadness from Drakken.

OTL Shego, girl OTL

My thoughts about what animal Shego would represent is still a cat. OTL yeah... Shego tends to run away OTL not the best method of dealing with problems. Drakken would care though. And yes, birthday.

«You're not really going to ditch your best friend on his birthday...»

«Why do I trust you?»

I'm getting heart palpitations bdhdhdh

«Shego, how about some revenge for breakfast? It doesn't say you can't shoot at non-participating people. Eddie says Pandora spends a lot of time by the pool.»

I had such a stupid wide grin. That what it means best friend.

Aaah my favorite moment of this chapter! The paintball fight!

It feels me with giddiness seeing Drakken all pro during it, and that mental image of kiddies Drew and Eddie spending time at paintball.

Awwww Shego is so eager to shoot people

........... Is he angry cus they took his favorite color? Bsjxhd that question I had ever since I read it lol

Discussing strategy while having domestic dispute, such a drakgo vibe.

There!!!! There is shooting Drakken!

«Shego, now may be the time to inform you that my aunt and uncle ran a paintball arena... This was what Eddie and I did on weekends.”

“Motor Ed I can see..." Shego raised a brow as Eddie almost got hit and ducked behind a barrel. "Or not."

"Shego," said Drakken. There was a devious smirk forming on his face. "I made it a point not to lose to my little cousin. I'm not about to start now."

"Noted," said Shego. She felt the smirk tug onto her lips.»

Thats... Doing something for me... *cough* same Shego *cough*

«We've been played into a trap," said Drakken. Shego glanced to see him grinning. "Nice."

"I don't see..." Shego readied her gun, but Drakken tackled her just as shots were fired.

"What was that!" yelled Carmella as she was covered in purple along with Cleopatra, while Anubis and DNAmy had been saturated in pink.

"We won, that's what that was," smirked Drakken above Shego as he gloated at the four who grumbled and skulked off.

"Hah, classic accidental team fire, didn't think it would work.»

Standing ovation to Drakken!

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) hehe

They are so husband and wife without realizing it. And yes, Shego, you are a gold digger 🤣

Ouch

(5)

*sigh*

I am so very curious what the hell happened between Drakken and Ed in the past so it so sour rn. Idk... Like yeah I understand what happened within the fic is also a major factor, but there feels something more. Especially when other chapters kinda indicated that they were close. And Eddie before idolized his cousin.

Well... Eddie you kinda were a dick

Well Shego… cus you *leans closer conspiraciously* maybe wanted him to pin you?

Kinda jealous of her ability to lounge like that.

F microwave

TALKING FINALLY

I've been making such a peculiar face at this back and forth.

Keeping your hamnds busy for sure, it's like heh a fidget toy for him. He probably needs many of those

Heheh oh the tense moment is coming

Morning, Sleeping Prince.

Why I love them shit talking others?

Ah hi there, Dr. Botox.

Ah, it's showtime

(6)

I've seen the illustration and it's amazing. Love Ed's and Dementor's shirts

Under table banter.

Eddie you have no idea. Tho... Maybe you have.

Drakken surely would have loved to hit both of them.

“blond mullet king” I am squinting at Demetor.

Ngl thats pleasant to hear correction from Shego dhdhdh :')

It maybe a wishful thinking on my part, but did Shego instinctively went for Drakken's comfort? Nevertheless it is heartwarming and him comforting her

«You're one to talk, you were double-crossing all of us just because you had some point to prove to yourself that you could work alone," said Cleopatra.» she got you there Shego. That's exactly what happened.

*sigh* Ed.

Hmm.... Yes a set up for sure, but was it from the very beginning of the vacation with that mass deal or something else🤔 it could have been a call from someone… Carmella? Maybe someone else hmm 🤔 thing is Botox from seeing Shego's shoes must have understood that descendants of Leviathan fam should be around cus how else Shego got those shoes?

I love this intense fight so much. From Ed and Demeter back to back, to Duff on the table and even guys were are out but they were still battling. And Drakken with his fast thinking.

Scary how Botox ... I assume Dollmaker helped them, modified henchwomen to get boost from Shego, it definitely shows that *she* is the target.

Villain solidarity!

OTL the moment when Shego got his was genuinely unexpected and scary.

I assume the scream was from Drakken hitting Botox's arm with toothpick gun. Which was badass as fuck especially considering... Well he went for blood for Shego.

(7)

I think... This specific character is one of my personal favorites. Especially the absurdity Xd but I guess after one maddening night of fighting for their lives and almost getting caught … they all need chill time.

Dr D you had the biggest instinct to protect.

Hench for the win!

Heh, Dr D. I think this mishap helped them all honesty.

And Hench is a very smart cookie. Props to him indicating to wait up in case of eavesdropping and ordering candles himself and getting them too.

Also yeah Duff was in between rock and a hard place for sure.

There was a scene in Transformers movie (the 2007 one) and villains being cramped in the kitchenette reminded of it. It was and still is hilarious. Both of those scenes djdhjd

DUFF DUFF OMFG you are a mad lad and suicidal at that

And still that question who tipped them....

Sleeeeepoverrrrrr

I just love their stories so much.

Cleo, I might have done the same thing xD fuck that guy.

Dementor's sorry is honestly adorable, but ending is sad 😔

«Right... I once rebuilt the entire school staff's vehicles on the roof «

of the school building because I was bored," said Ed smugly. Drakken glared.

"Excuse me, I did that," said Drakken with a scoff. "It was four cars and I only asked you to help because you kept talking and it kept you quiet."

"Yeah, but I did it... And I was talking because I was bored, seriously, chill," said Ed with an eye-roll. "Why do you always have to have the attention?"

"Seriously?" asked Drakken.

"Seriously... It's like you need constant validation," said Ed. Cleopatra snorted and nearly choked on her drink.

"What's that supposed to mean?" he asked, his brow furrowed."I think she snorted because it's funny how you're telling Drakken he acts like he needs validation, when you're the one taking credit for his story," said Hermes.»

Sorry but this whole moment sent me in such giggling feat, I couldn't breathe for a bit

Epic save with booze~

Strip poker scene is .... Delightful in my books xD

After this whole ark I kinda like this mentor relationship between Camille and Dementor. It's just so sweet... Thank you, Shego, I think I got that one from her.

This is a party :3

OTL you'll see soon Shego

Another moment where I had to wipe my eyes XD Dick jokes and puns

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Shego

I'm so glad she finally started to notice that she likes him... More than a friend.

Hello green Shego

She had hit the nail on the head with such accuracy Shego, go Adrena...... Omg no Xd well now yes, but still omg.

And now crucial moments between those two

*Sigh* Shego, just listen to what he has to say, please?

Drakken the badass, knight in the shining blue armor that is his labcoat.... Unfortunately not on him rn dhhdhd

I love those two, I really do.

The story time. Dollmaker. I don't knkw who is the creepiest still. But this guy ... Yeah in Shego words “Creep”. OTL poor Shego

;-; wiping away tears. Hug you two. Or kiss. You both want that. But probably, ngl it isn't right time. Some you... Even both, hadn't realized something important. And there is a hug. Slept together on one another's shoulder ; 0;

*Sigh*... I sometimes wish that she realized sooner how much Drakken was holding himself with not to act (to the point of it being unhealthy in the future) *sigh*

And now back home, you two

[bougiebutchbitch]

Have you thought of... batjokes AU where one of them is a vampire and the other's neck is getting bitten 👀 I feel like bruce would be out of blood packs or something and he wasn't careful enough looking after himself so he's like, losing himself in the middle of the night and trying not to lose control of his thirst and joker is like *slaps neck* "c'mere batsy come get your JUICE"

sdfgkjsglsdfgsdg LISTEN I THINK ABOUT THIS DAILY

DAILY

you fucking KNOW Jokes would be like. Suck me, Batsy <3 Suck me dry <333

He would jizz almost as soon as Bats got his teeth in skldfhgsdhfg

....okay but I want Batman to fully lose control of his thirst one time, and be fucking terrified that Joker's going to let him kill him, because... well, isn't that what Joker kinda wants?? But though Joker lets it go wayyyy further than Batman is comfortable with, he does eventually quickly and efficiently knock him out with some handy garlic gas or something, idk.

Batman wakes up to find Joker unconscious from blood loss but not dead. He's terrified to be near him, but still has enough self control to get away and call an ambulance for him (and beg Robin to supervise the paramedics so Joker won't wake up and gut them). Much, much later, when Joker's back in Arkham, Batman contritely goes to see him (and to thank Joker for stopping him, though he ain't admitting that easily). Eventually - after the obligatary greeting, banter, and flirtation - Batman stops looming. He sits on the edge of his cot, and manages to croak out why?

You know that would destroy me, so why not let it?

Don't you fantasize about both of us going out violently together?

Aren't I the one who's supposed to stop you?

And Joker just grins, delighted. "Oh, you're just eating yourself up, aren't you! It wasn't even your fault, and you're still just drowning in all the guilt you can pour into that big ol' batty brain!"

Bruce blinks. A thousand protests swarm his throat. It was my fault. I went too far. I wasn't in control, I couldn't stop myself - God, J, you almost died...

Joker snuggles up to his chest, giggling quietly to himself, as if Batman's told some joke he wasn't aware of. "Sweetie, when you kill me, you're going to choose to do it," he says. "Not accidentally suck me dry in a feeding frenzy, like some - some overgrown mosquito! I mean, don't get me wrong - that sounds one hell of a way to go. But that's just boring murdery vampire instinct. I don't wanna be killed by a vampire." He kisses him, over the bat symbol, leaving a tacky smear of red (how he keeps smuggling lipstick into Arkham, Batman doesn't know, but to be honest, he hasn't put all that much effort into stopping it). "I wanna be killed by the Bat."

That's terrifying. Yet at the same time, just a little reassuring.

Batman ducks his face into the long white line of Joker's neck, where the puncture wounds have sealed with messy scabs. He inhales the sweet, lulling sense of his blood, feeling the temptation flood his own veins. Feeling Joker go delightfully still, gasping at the warm roll of Batman's breath over his beating artery.

"Human juice bag is full again though," Joker whispers, long white hands fisting in Batman's cape, where it falls around them on the bed in stiff, midnight peaks. "In case you wanna stick your straw in and go to town. Call me your li'l Capri Sun pouch. Slurp out allll the good stuff..."

It's too soon, too raw. Joker's not even fully healed. Batman shakes his head, though he doesn't retreat, doesn't let Joker move an inch. Just stays right there, curled over him, breathing him in.

"I need to work on my self-discipline," he growls, letting his fangs flip down, but only to stroke them soft down that long, thin tendon that binds Joker's skull to his clavicles. "Before I bite you again."

Joker shivers, letting his head fall limp, his body twisted over Batman's lap, fully offered up to him. "Ooh, fun. I'm not going to make it easy for you, you know."

He never does. Batman wouldn't want it any other way.

When we are born, we have no idea of ​​our future, what direction our story will take. We are also born so innocent, dependent on everything, because we can't even feed ourselves, we don't walk or talk for a long time. All we do when we're not well is cry. It even seems like an omen for what will come as the years go by. I was always a good boy and then a good young man. Everyone said, he's an angel. Incapable of killing a fly, this beautiful young man. They had no idea how completely wrong that last sentence would be. I was called to serve in the armed forces, with many other young men, none of whom were in my circle of friends. Over time, they became good friends too. The Iraq war came. A battalion was going to help, unfortunately it was mine. I tried to stay calm, but it didn't work. When I left home, at the time of saying goodbye, I warned them that I wouldn't shoot anyone, like taking a life whose story I don't even know. I would lower my rifle if I came face to face with the enemy, who wasn't even my enemy. Maybe, and it was an afternoon in the middle of the city that was already quite destroyed, face to face with someone my age, he moved abruptly, the sound of several shots echoed in my mind, I thought, I'm dead, now I have to follow the path of that white and shining light, when I opened my eyes I only saw that bloody body there in front of me, I was the one who shot, my first life taken, then another and another and another, I killed more than twenty that morning, I was found in the rubble, crying and asking for forgiveness, after that day I can't even sleep, I look for some way to achieve redemption, I try to find something written in the part of my story, something that reminds me of the boy who wouldn't even kill a mosquito, I want at all costs to be that boy without blood stains that I once was, but I can't, not even in the words of any of my poems, I think I closed my eyes that day, not thinking about the paradise that awaited me, but out of shame of seeing the face of the one I killed, I chose to survive, and today I don't I live, I just survive.

No. No. NO. This can not be happening. The one thing I was most afraid of. The dreaded cliffhanger (quite literal in this case). I'm going through the 5 stages of BL grief help. And I've already reached de Nile T~T

When i first realized that Bad Buddy and ATOTS would air back-to-back, I had an inkling that something like this might happen. Because it's P'Aof. But now my brain is this close to 'killstabrip rinse and repeat' mode.

I was thinking of not watching today's episode because of the exam tomorrow, and for once, i regret not listening to the logical part of my brain.

Anyways what's done is done.

Let's move on.

I loved today's episode, and *maybe* Our Skyy has made me like ATOTS more than i originally did so bonus.

I have a lot of favourite scenes from today.

The waterfall scene where they play in the water. It's a throwback to the beach scenes from BBS. I like the similarities; in the beach, they'd escaped from their friends and family and really enjoyed themselves with each other for the first time, when their love was just starting to bloom. Here, they are already very much in love and in a secure relationship, but it's also away from their friends, a small haven just for themselves. They still enjoy each other's company and playing with each other. The ost song plays in the background, but the lines that are highlighted are "I hope you are not bored; Looking at this same old face." which just emphasizes the point that their love is still going strong.

The sleeping together scene – after the mosquito net kiss (still smiling from that) – loved the short tickling moment because it reminded me so much of the BTS of when Pat hugs Pran from behind as he plays the Thai xylophone and in real life, Nanon is trying so hard to not laugh. Loved even more the "You're an Architecture student, right? Haven't you wondered how much shaking this house can withstand?". We all know what that meant, right? (If you don't, it's nothing sweetie, just boring old people stuff. Be a child as long as you can.) Pran's reaction cracked me up but also made me want to wrap them both up in a blanket and hug them. Yeah, I'm weird like that. Also, Pran's "No, i don't want to know. I'm not curious." – of course you don't want to know, Pran, of course.

I love that they managed to fit in a song by Nanon. It was a pretty good song, too. I also really liked how fast Pran's expressions changed when Pat arrived. Saying this for probably the millionth time, but Nanon is an amazing (Off Jumpol's voice) actor.

The Pat and Hona (Chief) waking up shirtless together scene. It. Was. Hilarious. I am never ever forgetting it. Them being like: my boyfriend is going to kill me. And yeah, they probably would if they came to know. I liked the reference to PatPran ep 11 when Pran asked how many points he got out of 10. And Pat realizing it's not his faen just by the hand made me a little soft. Also liked the reference to the rangers' t-shirt that Hona had first offered to Tian. Though the first thing that came to mind after seeing it was "Tian and Pran are going to be so jealous when they (mis)understand what the t-shirt means". Ya'll have ruined my innocence so you need to suffer too.

The watch made a comeback! So happy. I really wanna know how Pran will react when Pat gives back the watch. I have a hunch to what Pat will say when he does.

As for the preview, I'm happy (and a teeny tiny bit skeptical) about Hona & Pat's and Tian & Pran's growing friendship.

[Unmute :D Do NOT repost; I'll do more than find you]

I have neither time nor energy to make more than this one clip today, but if i find the energy and motivation on Saturday (i will have literally no time tomorrow), be sure I'll make a lot of clips (at least 4 or 5). If you have any requests in the meantime, feel free to send them through my asks!

[merlions]

There's this fuckin. Enormous daddy long legs that has been absolutely. Going ABOVE AND BEYOND the call of duty keeping bugs out of my room. He has his little fuckin web right outside my door and there are sooo many little corpses he has dispatched. I appreciate him. So fucking much.

And it is worth noting. I have a really really really bad phobia of insects and arachnids!! Makes me sick, used to be genuinely paralytic, like I go pale and can't move, I'm too scared to touch the page of a book that contains the image of a bug or spider. It has taken me years and years of working on it (and working on a farm which was!!!!! Quite a time in my life) to be able to cope with a fuckin. Daddy long legs right outside my room.

So why!!! For the love of god. Did my little pal decide for the first time ever, to come down and sit on my light switch!! I almost didn't see him before trying to hit the light and would have squished him!!! Listen. The only thing even close to a bug physically being near or on my person. Is the idea of SQUISHING A BUG??? Horrible horrible horrible the actual worst. If I really need them away from me and no one is available to do so for me I will, despite near syncopal terror, force myself to cup them and put them gently OUTSIDE. AWAY FROM MY PERSON. I will put the cup down and run at maximum velocity. I would never squish a bug on purpose that's not a mosquito actively biting me and that's just evolutionary instinct tbh

And now this fuckin guy??? My pal??? Who I am very afraid of but have allowed to live in proximity to me , so that we may have a partnership??? A symbiosis of sorts????? My good friend daddy L????? He tries to trick me into killing him, something which makes me want to scream in terror??????? Sir please??????? We don't need this, no one needs this, PLEASE go home sir

Feeling feral tonight

It's oddly hot in my room and the breeze from outside is perfect, but SOMETHING in someone's backyard is making this occasional high-frequency beep sound. I'm confident no one but me in the neighborhood can hear it. But it's driving me insane. I need to know what it is and I NEED to deactivate it. Why is there so much tech everywhere. Why does it all emit high frequency sounds that no one can hear but me. I can't even stand being diagonal to my TV cause the power bar is too loud. I can't charge my phone at night cause the charger is too loud. I wrapped my computer cables in bubble wrap to muffle them.

And it's not even the volume, it's that frequency. Just below those mosquito-repellent apps kids had on their phones in elementary that they would turn on specifically to irritate kids like me. I want to use my teeth to get rid of all of these.

I've heard it said that the more you study tech, the more you hate it. Never more than this moment did I wish I lived in a tree house. Cozy. Fresh air. Far enough from the city that I don't have to hear people's ambient door alarms and porch lights, far enough that the light pollution doesn't reach and I can see the night sky again.

I miss the stars so fucking much. I wanna kill an oil executive with my teeth. I wanna tear whatever is making THIS FUCKING BEEPING AT 1AM IN SOMEONES BACKYARD OUT OF WHEREVER ITS INSTALLED WITH MY TEETH AND SMASH IT WITH A ROCK

I'm chill. It's okay. The air is nice. The bed is comfy. I'm going to go around the neighborhood this week knocking on every single goddamned door to try to find out what that sound is and get it disabled.

[morbidsmenagerie]

Also just because I just reblogged this post and because people have been commenting on my wasp zine all varieties of:

But I have a phobia

Hate them anyway they bite/sting

Bet you've never been attacked by a wasp/spider/ect

If they stay away from me they're fine but as soon as they get close they're dead

I'm just going to! Respond to all of these!

Yes, spiders and wasps can sting or bite you. Bees can sting you. Beetles can bite you. For some reason though there's just a particular, vile hatred towards spiders and wasps. I don't even think people are generally as mad at mosquitoes for biting them, mosquitoes are more considered annoying than "kill it with fire get it away from me" stuff. I'd imagine most of you have been bitten by a dog or scratched by a cat, and yet cat/dog pictures don't get people saying "ew clearly you've never been bitten by one of those or you wouldn't find it so cute".

In most other animals, people understand that there's some level of personal responsibility involved. You got bit by a dog because you invaded its personal space and ignored its warnings, you got bit by mosquitoes because you weren't wearing bug repellant, ect. Obviously you can only minimize your negative interactions with bugs, it's definitely possible for them to get into your house and surprise you, but you can reduce the times this happens by practicing good house keeping. Crumbs, gaps in your windows/doors, trash buildup, ect can all attract bugs which in turn attracts spiders.

No bug "attacked" you. Bugs are not evil, vindictive, or out to get you. They're animals, and relatively simple ones at that. They do not have the capacity to wish you, in particular, harm. A spider runs towards you because it's trying to seek cover, and your shadow looks like a dark place for it to hide out in. Spiders have fairly poor eyesight for the most part and don't even "see" you as a unified thing, most of the time they just realize it's suddenly bright and they're exposed and they feel the vibrations of something very large above them. Wasps fly at you either because you got too close to their hive and they see you as a danger, or because you smell interesting and they want to see if you're food. If they are flying at you to protect their hive, don't try to swat at them, just quickly and calmly move to a safe place. If they're smelling you because they find your smell interesting, freeze and let them sniff around until they determine that you aren't a yummy fruit and fly away. Bees do the same thing! Most people know how to interact with bees though and don't blame the bee if they disturb a nest and get stung.

If you have a phobia, that must be really hard, I'm sorry! But understand that your phobia isn't the bugs fault. The bug isn't trying to scare you, they're just existing. If your phobia is severely affecting your ability to live in a world full of bugs, there are ways you can work on it. I'm not expecting everyone to like bugs, I just want to push for tolerance if possible. I used to be really freaked out by roaches (I lived in South Carolina and we had palmetto bugs) but I decided to actively work on it. I kept hissing roaches, because they were the least roachy roach I knew of, and interacting with them made me much more comfortable with all roaches. I still don't like roaches generally and I don't want them to infest my house, so I just keep good housekeeping practices and try to prevent that from happening. I like hissers now though, and I learned about a lot of other roaches I really like (domino roaches, cryptocercus, honestly a lot of the gyna roaches, and red runners which I also kept for a bit!) I know that is an extreme way to overcome your fear, but learning about and being curious about bugs you are afraid of does help. I used to even not like wasps! What changed my mind was reading about them (especially Endless Forms by Sierian Sumner) and actually learning about how diverse of an order hymenoptera really is. I definitely thought all wasps were the social hive building kind that sting which negatively affected my image of them, but there's so many wasps! That's part of the reason why I made the zine. If looking at pictures of spiders/wasps is too scary, there's books without pictures, or you can just ask some bug enthusiast friends/blogs for interesting facts to start out. Definitely decide how comfortable you are with exposure and don't over do it.

Also if your bug tolerance only extends to bugs that aren't near you, then that could also be something to work on. Bugs do not understand where your personal space meter is, they don't understand this contract you've made for allowing them to live. Bugs are everywhere, and they might end up in your house/room/bed/ect. It's not the bugs fault, and I implore you to try nonlethal removal when possible.

I might make another zine/pamphlet about overcoming bug hatred in general and building bug tolerance, but these are just some of my thoughts.

Also before someone twists my words and misinterprets this post some bugs are a problem! Obviously if your house has a roach/bed bug infestation take care of it! I also smack mosquitoes when they bite me! This is specifically about the wildly disproportionate hatred some bugs (mainly wasps and spiders) get compared to every other bug that could be considered a nuisance or cause damage.

*Flowey pales and hesitates for a moment. Humanity really is horrible, just like Chara said. But for humans, it's the same idea against monsters. At this rate they might as well start another war. If Flowey crushes Clover now and takes their soul he could kill them all. He could fight back to make up for when he didn't before. Or will he make the same mistake and let himself die and so many others? Which is right? Flowey laughs desperately, not knowing what to do. kill or be killed. His vines tighten around Clover.*

Some soul of JUSTICE you are! You're just trying to make an excuse to lash out at anyone. You know the real reason I'm fighting back. Sickos like you deserve- *Flowey shakes his head and speaks louder for everyone else* You're all blind, stupid sheep! Do you know why I'm doing this? This idiot you're following wanted to kill all monsters even before now because one monster acted out! You think I'm going to sit there and let everyone take it? I want to stop that from happening!

And believe it or not there is a human who I'm trying to protect as well. So excuse me if I want to cut out the real evil!

(Clover shoos away everyone) " Hey you might be right about people being sheep. But just think about it for a second. I am justice in the same way killing a mosquito is. Do you think that monsters and humans can be friends. HAH, you do know who you're talking to right. I've seen every single possible ending to my story and justice dies in all of the quote and quote 'good ones.' I hate you but in the end you're just an itch I could scratch off like everyone else. No one cares about a flower. I ask you how many Undertale ending do you get a happy ending hm? When you're not just a flower at the end. Character development this real evil that, you want to know real evil. Me just allowing this war to go the way it will. If I kill all of the monsters at once they won't feel any pain. There's no other..."

(Muerte) "Maybe the flower is right."

(Clover) "How did you get here."

(Muerte) "I heard screeming and so did these two you were talking to."

(Kara) "Get the fuck away from my friend."

(Clover) "Or what? You'll kill me?"

(Kara) "No. But some things don't require killing. A lesson I'd wish you would learn."

(Noelle) "I killed so many people, and where did it lead me. Isolation for months borderline years. Killing is sometimes necesary I've learned that, but when you look at it... you see how you might hurt someone close. You lose sight that the people you're protecting are the people that you are killing. Most of all *Noelle hold Kara's hand* you lose sight on what's really important."

(Muerte) "Do you wish for me to bring the humans and end this right now?"

(Clover) "No, all I have to deal with is a flower a kid who doesn't know they're a kid, and a reindeer. Nothing I haven't dealt with before."

Xiao my beloved {2}

A/N (Hi sorry for dropping this story for so long I didn't know where I wanted it to go but now I have a psuedo Idea, anyway happy Lantern Rite!!)

After explaining to Aether and Paimon my odd and nonsense sounding story, we head off to Liyue. Why you may ask, well because I want to find a way home and the best way to do that would be talking to a certain immortal since he may know how to send me home.

"soo Paimon gets the whole falling into a new world thing but why are you dressed like that" she asks me curiously. "Well I was sleeping when I got here so obviously I would be wearing my pajamas" I say with a serious expression. Honestly sometimes I wonder how Paimon managed to live without the Traveler, before they met it makes little sense to me.

"are you gonna wear that as we go to Liyue?" Paimon responds. "Well I don't have any other clothes? Since ya know I feel out of the sky?". Which is what I told Aether and Paimon, that I was in my world but then woke up and was here in Teyvat. Thank the Archons Aether was sweet and decided to help me otherwise I don't know what I would do. Probably get killed by the abbys, or a rogue hillichurl. Due to the fact I am now an annoying side character in Genshin, who is helpless!! Ugh I hate this. Getting out of my own thoughts I take a look around, it's so beautiful with the mountains and the trees.... And now I'm getting bit by mosquitoes.. man I forgot how much I dislike the outdoors.

Anyway I am roused from my thoughts when Aether states " Hey I have some extra clothes that I was given on my adventures, they may fit you? Since I got them from a friend in Inazuma" why did he have extra clothes and who gave him these clothes that he was so sure would fit me? I ponder this as he pulls them out. I take one glance and realize oh these are Itto's clothes, I don't know a person they wouldn't fit or at least be too big for. "That works thank you so much for your help" I say as I grab the clothes that are definitely not my size. I didn't even realize Itto has any shirts but oh well. "I'm gonna go change real quick over there" I point to a thicket in the path, which should give me enough cover. "Alright me and Paimon will wait for you here"

I go off to change and try to get myself looking somewhat presentable, thank goodness I feel asleep in a bra last night, or else it would really be a nightmare. As I'm walking away however someone approaches Aether. "Who is this mortal you have brought with you?" a voice I would recognize in a heartbeat if I wasn't so far away and not looking. "There a person from another world like me, also xiao it's rude to sneak up on people you almost gave Paimon a heartache." Aether responds "another? How did they end up here and are they a threat" "Them? I don't know how they got here but I can mostly definitely assure you they aren't a threat. Anyway we are heading off to Liyue to see if Zhongli knows anything that could help."

As they are talking I come walking back not even realizing the fictional love of my life is standing there. "I think these will work even if they are a little big." That's an understatement they do not fit at all. "Oh that's good maybe we should find something that actually fits in Liyue. Also I have someone who I'd like you to meet." Oh who is it, then I look up and see him, I am trying to keep my cool and not immediately flip out!!! "Would you like to introduce yourself?" Aether asks who I already know is Xiao. "hello... I'm Xiao..." " Pleasure I'm (y/n)" WOO I said that so smoothly as if I don't even know who he is!! "Xiao will you be walking with the 3 of us to Liyue?" Aether questions the boy with amber eyes. "I may if I have time, I have other things to do for now so farewell, I may meet you there" Xiao says then he is off in a puff of smoke. I just met the love of my life for .2 seconds. I'm in heaven.

(Read part 1 here)

Hope you all enjoyed the second part of My beloved after waiting like 6 months 🤣

Thank you for all the support in the first installment and maybe of you all like it I will make the 3rd faster. I really appreciate your feedback and hope you enjoy.

🍄♻️⚠️

🍄Decriscribe your wip/one of your wips in the format of “___ + ___ =___”  

Groundhog Day + Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen = loud noises and mosquito bites. (It's actually more like some of the post-Groundhog Day time loops than it is like Groundhog Day itself but I can't identify a specific one without giving too much away and this sounded better.)

♻️A scrapped idea for your current WIP

Haha so I'm working on a GFA time loop where Hawkeye relives the day of the bus over and over, and at one point I had the idea of one version of that day including him strangling the baby himself instead of just accidentally causing the mother to smother it. This was going to be an homage to my mom who has referred to Hawkeye strangling a baby twice now. I didn't do it because it didn't quite fit; I couldn't see a way around everyone reacting more strongly to that version of events or a way to make those reactions fit, and ultimately it just didn't really fit the narrative. I was doing it for the wrong reasons. There was no narrative justification for it and it's too big a thing to include just because I liked the homage idea. I am planning to write a separate one shot based on that concept (though likely as a nightmare, not an AU where it actually happens that way). I also had an idea for a version of the day where everyone on the bus is killed, but Hawkeye survives long enough to be brought back to the 4077th where the medics tell Potter "he's the only one who made it that far" as a parallel to what happens to the musicians. But it was an unearned parallel. There was no reason to do it except to point and say "it's the same!" Thematically there is no connection between Hawkeye and the musicians. And it opened up a lot of questions about when and how he was found. I have tons of other little GFA parallels and connections in the there (I don't even know if readers will catch some of them) that make sense and have purpose. I just didn't need this one.

⚠️Which wip your most likely to finish or update next?

Time loop WIP is happening. It's happening. I can't say much I haven't said already, because there are some twists and turns in this fic that I think will be best experienced without a lot of prior information. Hawkeye relives July 4th, 1953 over and over again, trying to change what happens, and he's the only one who remembers. I wanted to call it Independence Day because it's like Groundhog Day but it happens on the Fourth of July, but Independence Day is already a well-known movie and just doesn't have the right connotations. I am very happy with the title I settled on, which I might share but not just yet. :) It's also in the present tense which I hate, but it was the right tense for this fic.
