Joey B Imagines: Birthday Boy

————————————————————————-

Summary: December 10th, Joe’s 27th birthday spent with you and your twin boys.

Warnings: Fluff, *he's not injured!!*

Pairing: Joe Burrow x reader

Imagine universe: Into The Mystic

————————————————————————-

December 10th, 2023

Joe had awoken in bed by himself this morning to his surprise. He had expected you, his wife, to be waking him with smooches all over his face but your side of the bed was empty.

He rolled over to grab his phone off his nightstand when the setup sitting on it made him smile. Every year since you and Joe got together in high school when you guys were 16 and 17, on Joe’s birthday you'd get him white roses. The number of them would be the age he was turning that day. There they were, 27 white roses in a vase.

Realizing there was a card and a gift bag propped up next to it, Joe leaned up in bed and picked up the card first.

Happy Birthday, Joey!

Gosh, how are you 27?! You're getting old babe. JKJK. I just wanted to tell you that I’m so happy to share another birthday with you, this is the 11th one that we've celebrated together and I hope I've made every year better than the last. 26 was such a year for you, and I'm proud to say I was by your side for all of it. Cheers to another year of getting to show you how much I love you. You're my husband, my rock, my happiness, my high school sweetheart, and most importantly my best friend. I love you more than words can explain, Joey Shiesty.

To my nerdy, quirky, antisocial, video game, Kid Cudi-obsessed boy, Happy 27th birthday.

Love, your y/n.

Joe didn't realize tears were streaming down his cheeks till he put the card down and saw a wet spot on the blanket on his lap. He quickly composed himself and grabbed the gift bag.

Pulling the contents out of the bag, he felt his eyes well up again when he realized it was a photo album.

It was white leather and on the front in gold font, it simply read “Us.”

Joe flipped to the first page and it had a song lyric quoted.

“When they wanna see how true love should be, they'll just look at us.”

Flipping the page again, it was a collage of pictures of you and him as high school lovebirds. A picture of him picking you up after a win while you were in your cheer uniform, one of you two sitting next to each other at lunch just smiling from ear to ear, you and him sitting in the back of one of his friend's truck while at a drive-in movie, a pic of you two at senior prom, and finally one of you guys graduating.

Joe flipped the page and wasn't at all surprised to see it was the Ohio State era of his life. Since Joe was a year older than you, you were stuck in Athens still when Joe was a freshman at OSU. Long distance sucked, but you guys made it work, and multiple pictures were showcasing that. You took screenshots of you and Joe's face timing that he had never seen before. There was a lovesick look in his eye that made Joe giggle knowing he's still just as infatuated with you. His favorite picture was the one of him lying on top of you in his dorm bed, you were running your fingers through his mullet as you cuddled him.

The LSU page made Joe’s heart warm, so many pictures of you standing to the side and smiling at him just so proud of everything he had accomplished during his time there. There was one slightly spicy photo that made Joe do a double take. That was the first photo you had ever sent him with the intention of turning him on. While Joe was out doing something with the team after winning the national championship you put nothing on but his letterman jacket and the “Big Dick Joe” that he had.

The next few pages only made Joe smile get bigger.

In order it was him getting drafted, the 2022 AFC Championship win + engagement, the wedding, finding out I was pregnant, the gender reveal, the boy's arrival, and everything in between.

When the last few pages were empty for more memories Joe shut the book and put it off to the side. He again had to compose himself and wipe his eyes after the emotional walk through memory lane, you guys had been through so much together and Joe couldn't a picture his life without you.

Joe was about to text you but as soon as he went to grab his phone you were walking into the bedroom. Truthfully you had been downstairs listening to him secretly through the baby monitor you had put up in the bedroom. You had heard him wrestle around in the sheets before sniffles were heard. After it went quiet for a bit you went upstairs and watched him through the cracked bedroom door as he wiped his eyes.

You walked towards the bed with a stack of pumpkin-flavored pancakes topped with candles singing Happy Birthday as Joe wore a huge grin.

After you were finished singing, Joe blew out the candles and you placed the plate on his lap.

“G’morning, Joey. Happy Birthday, my love. - you

He pulled you into a hug and squeezed you so tight.

“I love you so much, y/n.” - Joe

You rubbed his back and kissed him after you pulled away, his arms still around your waist.

“What did you wish for when you blew out your candles?” - you

“Can't tell you, you know it wouldn't come true if I did.” - Joe

“You're no fun.” - you

“I'm just kidding, baby. I actually didn't make a wish.” - joe

“What why? Did I not give you enough time to? I'm sor-” - you

“No. You gave me plenty of time. I just don't have anything to wish for. I have everything I could ever want or need so there's no need for me to wish for something. I have a beautiful amazing wife, perfect twin boys, a good career…” - Joe

You stared at him dumbfounded, wondering how you were ever able to bag this sweet man.

“You’re gonna make me cry.” - you sniffled

“C’mere.” - Joe opened his arms to you

Immediately in his embrace, Joe held the back of your head and kissed your temple.

“I've already cried twice.” - Joe giggled

“Awe Joey. Okay enough sappy stuff, you eat your birthday breakfast while I go clean the kitchen up.” - you pulled away from him and headed for the door when he stopped you

“Wait don't go! I'll help you clean later, can you stay with me right now?” - Joe

You smiled sweetly at him before waking back over to the bed and getting under the covers with him.

Joe turned on Spongebob and ate his pancakes, a few minutes in you heard little feet in the hallway before knocks on the door could be heard.

“Mommy? Daddy?” - Tyson

“You can come in, Ty!” - Joe

The twins happily opened the door and toddled over to the bed. You lifted them onto the bed and they sat with their backs against the footboard.

Tyson giggled as he jokingly got his hand under the covers and tickled Joe’s foot. Joe played along with it for a little bit, loving the sound of his son’s laugh before he started fighting back.

“Do you boys remember what today is?” - you

“Uhm… no momma.” - Miles

“It's someone's birthday!” - you

Tyson and Miles looked at each other for a second before they gasped at the same time and yelled out the answer in unison.

“Daddy’s!” - The twins yelled

“Mhm! Remember what you guys made yesterday?” - you

The boys nodded and you instructed them to go retrieve what they made from their room.

Joe gave you a skeptical raised eyebrow look, but you just leaned in and kissed him while you still had the chance.

It wasn't long till you could hear those little feet again and Tyson and Miles were running back into the bedroom. They handed Joe a few pieces of paper after he put his empty plate on his nightstand.

Tyson drew a picture of him, his daddy, and his uncles passing football at the practice fields.

Miles drew a picture of him and Joe playing with Hot Wheels tracks.

The drawings had Joe feeling a different form of bliss, his heart warmed to an insane level as he looked at the little details in his boys’ drawings.

“I love them, boys. Thank you.” - Joe croaked

“You welcome!” - Tyson beamed

“Dada? You sad?” - Miles

“No, Daddy’s really happy.” - Joe

“But you cryin'…” - Miles

“He’s crying happy tears buddy, really happy tears.” - Joe

“Oh�� okay!” - Miles

“You guys should go play. Mommy and Daddy are gonna clean up before Gramps and Grammy come.” - you

When the boys left the room you turned to Joe who was still crying. You softly kissed his cheek and wiped his tears off of his cheeks.

“You okay, baby?” - you

“Never been better. This is the best feeling.” - Joe

“Good. They worked hard on those. Come follow me downstairs. I have something cool to show you.” - you

“You gonna give me my 27 birthday spankings? Or is that later?” - joe

You laughed as you pulled him out of bed and shoved him into the closet, asking without words for him to put clothes on since he was only in boxers.

He returned in sweatpants and a T-shirt and followed you downstairs.

“Is the cool thing you have to show me a sink full of dishes? Or do I have to unload the dishwasher?” - Joe

“You’re exempt from those chores today since you are the birthday boy. But no, I’m giving you one of your gifts now.” - you

Joe smiled and I told him to close his eyes as we started walking into the kitchen. He did as you said and you took his hands in yours to guide him to where the setup on the counter was. You smiled at the secret camera you had recording and dropped Joe’s hands.

Telling him to open his eyes, Joe looked around rather confused but when he looked down at the counter his eyes went as wide as saucers.

There was a positive Clearblue test next to the same onesie you showed Joe when you found out you were pregnant with the twins.

You watched Joe’s eyes start to water as his chin started quivering, causing your own eyes to get misty as you smiled at him.

“You’re pregnant?” - Joe grinned

“Mhm.” - you smiled as tears dripped down your face

Immediately his arms were around you, lifting you and spinning you around as he cried into your neck.

“We’re having another baby!” - Joe cried

When he put you down, Joe picked up the pregnancy test with shaky hands and fell against the counter with his head buried in his arms. He was so overcome with emotion.

“Are you happy?” - you rubbed his back

Joe stood up abruptly and nodded vigorously.

“I've never been so happy. What if we have a girl, y/n? I could be a girl dad.” - Joe cried again

“Oh baby.” - you pulled him into your arms

Joe hugged you so tight but was now trying not to put pressure on your stomach now that he was aware his baby was in there.

“I love you so much, y/n. You and our family are the best things to have ever happened to me. I can't believe we're having another baby.” - Joe

“I love you and our babies so much. I can't believe it either, I'm so excited.” - you

“How long have you known? Well about the baby?” - Joe

“Not too long, found out a couple of days ago and thought I'd wait till today.” - you

Joe nodded and leaned down to be level with your stomach. It hasn't gotten bigger yet but Joe didn't care, his baby was still in there.

“Hey, baby. It's your daddy. Me and your momma already love you so much. We can't wait to meet you.” - Joe

“I have an ultrasound next week. Think you can go?” - you

“For sure. I'll make it happen.” - Joe

The rest of the day Joe couldn't keep his hands off of you, always making sure you weren't farther than arm's length away from him.

Robin asked what was up later at dinner when you rejected your usual favorite wine that she and Jimmy had brought.

You and Joe were ecstatic to tell his parents about Baby Burrow #3 coming next fall and they were just as happy finding out about their next grandkid.

That night after dinner, dessert (pumpkin pie of course), and putting the boys to sleep, Joe and I were lying in bed talking about everything baby.

“y/n, you know, I've only been 27 for a day but I feel like it's going to be the best year yet.” - Joe

“You think so?” - you

“I know so because I’m gonna spend it with you, our boys, and baby Burrow.” - Joe

You had a strange feeling that Joe was right, but also an overwhelming feeling of love washed over you. How'd you get so lucky with Joe?

A highly concerning problem

(massive tw for 18+ content etc, if you are sensitive to such topics please click away)

I would appreciate if you could all hear me out to the end on this one, as I unfortunately feel the feathers this will ruffle are the ones who need to hear it most. (There is a TLDR at the bottom if you would like)

I’m afraid this fandom has a growing problem with sexually explicit content regarding minors. The main cast of this story are all children, save Chris, and yet I have seen posts, art, and fanfics about these MINORS having kinky sex and illustrations of them engaging in bdsm-related content. This is disgusting and illegal. There has also been a lot of labelling of these characters as ‘whores’ and ‘sluts’ which is not illegal, but in my opinion is very very strange.

“Why do you care, just click away”

“It’s just internet fan content, it’s not a big deal”

I would hope morals alone would deter people from doing something so obviously creepy, but here are some other reasons this is dangerous:

This fandom is full of minors, and when they see this glorification of sex and drugs while under age, it normalises it for them. This could potentially lead to them ending up in dangerous situations because they have become blind to the reality of their situation. They could end up scarred for life, and if you think I’m overreacting, this process has probably already happened to you.

Minors are not the only ones who will see this type of art. Posting this is providing a certain demographic with content that they should not have access to. It also draws them to, again, a fandom filled with Minors.

Some people (myself included) do not want to see this content and exposure to it may cause adverse effects. I came to this fandom because I wanted to talk about silly teenagers with superpowers based off a skeleton from a 2015 video game. I did not want to see to creeps discussing kinky sex fantasies with minors.

“Lots of TV shows have this kind of content, why don’t you complain about that?”

I do. The key difference here is that this fandom glamourises child porn and inappropriate relations between children and also minors and adults. Most shows that grapple with this topic point out how bad this is and it’s very real adverse effects on people, and if they don’t they’re usually called out for it. As an additional point, most shows that tackle this are usually 18+.

“I’m a teenager, and I have these feelings.”

Again, you’re not the only person seeing this content. Non-teens with questionable motives will see it too. Also yes, I get it, most teens will want to explore the topic of sexuality. However if you must be rampantly horny, please channel it through adult characters and share it in communities of people who have volunteered to see such topics.

As an aside, and I feel that this may offend some people but I do want to highlight it, I would like to point out that Chris is an adult and Nevin is a minor. I have heard some say that ‘Nevin is almost 16’, but I would like to refute that with two points:

16 is still a minor.

Nevin is not real, he doesn’t age on a day-by-day basis like we do. He cannot be ‘almost’ 16, it doesn’t work like that. He is a child until the author says otherwise.

Sure, a relationship with Chris wouldn’t be illegal, but the maturity gap between those age groups is dangerous if normalised in real life. I don’t know any 18 year olds without alterior motives who would date a 15 year old.

I would like to say that I have nothing against shipping the characters, just posting explicit material of them.

TLDR; Posting sexually explicit content of minors is illegal, normalises dangerous activities in the impressionable young minds of other teens, provides Pedos with free content and draws them to this fandom. Also most people didn’t ask to see that type of stuff, we just want to look at fanart of our favourite characters, so please keep it to specific communities.

So, why do I make so much kids content if I’m not a content creator for children?

I’m making this post because, with my current set of interests, I feel like I’m going to for sure be making content of mostly preschool shows. I also feel like I’m gonna get this a lot the more that people outside of undertale and smiling friends find my art. As my bio says, I have autism. And just as sesame street put it, sometimes I do things a little differently. This includes my interests. I struggle very hard to fixate on any ‘adult’ media. When I do, it is typically presented in a specific taste that might be similar to children’s media. (Moral Orel, Smiling Friends, DHMIS, etc.) and those fixations don’t last long. I’d much rather watch old children’s shows and films. Sometimes, those shows fall into the preschool category. This can lead many to assume that I only post things that are safe for children, or that I’m a children’s content creator. This isn’t the case. My goal is that I could post things that remind those who enjoyed tickling from a young age of their favorite nostalgic things!

Some things to expect from my blog:

Content of or similar to children’s media

Sfw tickle fluff

Posts about me, vivi

Fanfictions and art from an array of fandoms

Obscure fandoms, mostly for children (Gumby, Rainbow, Anpanman, Teddy Ruxpin, etc.)

Answers to your lovely asks, and occasionally answered art and fanfiction requests!

Occasional adult fandom posting and occasional light suggestive material: (blood, light horror, romantic NEVER SEXUAL situations, upsetting themes in literature or art such as mental health struggle. All will be tagged and CW’d appropriately.)

I’d prefer if interactions with my blog were 16+, but I understand that my content is appealing to younger audiences. However. Next year, I’m going to make my blog 18+ interaction because I will no longer be a teenager next year. I will ask for age confirmation if you are over 16 for collaborations and art trades, though, and I will not be direct messaging anyone in the community outside of art trades or people that I personally know. If you’re in my dni, you can look, just don’t touch.

EVEN MORE! 💕

What you should not expect from my blog:

Majorly adult fandom oriented content

Art with bondage or boop booths

Lots of video game content. (I personally have never been a video game person, so non indie games don’t really interest me. As a matter of fact, most indie games don’t interest me either.)

Reblogging of any pictures, videos or gifs that teeter on NSFW.

Any videos or pictures of me, Vivi.

Posts from my main. (If you know my main, please do not share it.)

Art, literature or the reblogging of art or literature that has sexual, violent, gorey or disturbing themes.

The expectation that NSFW blogs are allowed to follow, interact with, reblog, message or roleplay with me.

Roleplay in general.

I hope this helped! Thank you!

29 things I love about Michael: Day 15 and 16

This video is everything! I remember for my birthday (I think I turned 5 or 6 years old) I was allowed to have a birthday party at Burger King. Back then having a party at McDonald’s or Burger King meant you were COOL! But that’s besides the point. I had one and every time an adult or family member came by I’d just start screaming. Just imagine a tiny little girl screaming every time her parents let her know someone showed up for her birthday party. To be fair, I only screamed when it was an adult or someone I didn’t think would show up (most of them being adults because at that age I thought they would think it’s silly to come and celebrate my birthday because I was just a tiny non-important person). Anyways my parents made it a point for me to be quiet. Stop screaming. Don’t make no noise. Just silence. Looking back at my childhood I see now why I struggled so much with expressing myself.

Which is why this video brings me so much joy. Michael laughed loudly, sang loudly and his moments of joy and happiness were also loud. The man spoke softly but everything he did was very loud and in a good way. It reminds me to not go back to those moments of my upbringing and not silence myself when I’m excited and want to share/express myself. It’s also something I really really like about my other boyfriend. When I’m excited I get real caught up and get giggly and sometimes I’m screaming. And he just lets me lmao. Now I’m not exactly like screaming in the middle of night or something but if we’re having fun/playing games etc. you’ll know it’s me cuz I’m loud AF.

It’s Michael’s birthday month and so I’m sharing every day something I love about him. Feel free to join in or use the tag #29thingsMJ I’d love to read what you love about him

Sims Tag

Tagged by @ho3sferatu! Thanks ^_^

Readmore’d cause it gets a bit long :P

1. What’s your favourite sims death?

Probably fright, cause the animation is so funny like they have time to pause and check their pulse before dropping dead

2. Alpha CC or Maxis Match?

I can tell this is aimed at TS4 haha I had to google Alpha CC to check I knew what it meant - So semi-realistic? I mean obviously I lean towards Maxis Match, but if I like how something looks I’ll use it even if it’s not from the same style.

3. Do you cheat when your sims gain weight?

No, that actually happened to Klothilde because she kept eating fish and it takes so long for them to eat fish that she got fat after eating it once lol - But TS2 fat meshes aren’t even really fat, so it doesn’t make much difference to me heh

4. Do you use move objects?

Only for placing deco things, cause I don’t want to end up placing a chair or something that’s actually inaccessible and not find out until after I’ve built everything else around where I placed it

5. Favorite mod?

No Red Pause Lines, cause it’s 500x more annoying if I have to crop that out every time I take a screenshot

6. First expansion/game/stuff pack you got?

University, I pretty much got all the TS2 stuff as it came out heh

7. Do you pronounce “live mode” like aLIVE or LIVing?

aLIVE, but I think about it more like how a TV show says “We’re live” or something since that’s where the game actually progresses in time

8. Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made?

Cirrus! There’s some close seconds, but Cirrus actually has history in my game versus just being a face I liked, and the way her parents’ genetics created the little side smirk she has that I don’t think I could recreate in CAS

9. Have you made a simself?

I did when I was 13 - I was exactly at that age where child sims felt too young to represent myself, but teen sims felt too old. I went with a child sim just for the proportions lol but yeah that was the last time I was interested in making a simself.

10. What sim traits do you give yourself?

Well to keep it TS2 themed, I think it’d be something like this:

11. Which is your favorite EA hair color?

Um black? That’s always the default color I pick when doing any sort of dress up game

12. Favorite EA hair?

fhairshorttuckin:

It’s the only hair I’ve never fully replaced with a default, I just do a texture default

13. Favorite life stage?

Adult I guess, they just have the most stuff available to do

14. Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay?

Both, I like building but I like to play the lots I build. And when I’m playing, I think of what kind of builds would be fun to play, and so the gameplay also inspires my building.

15. Are you a CC creator?

Kind of? I’ve made clothing recolors, makeup, hair recolors, etc. but I haven’t done anything besides sharing lots/sims in a while.

16. Do you have any simblr friends/a sim squad?

Not particularly, I have mutuals that I always like seeing on my dash/activity but I’m not the most talkative person on tumblr lol

17. What’s your favorite game? (1, 2, 3, or 4)

2 of course ^_^

18. Do you have any sims merch?

No? lol

19. Do you have a YouTube for sims?

Technically yeah, it’s my “personal” YT account but 90% of my videos are of The Sims.

20. How has your “sim style” changed throughout your years of playing?

I used to do more semi-realistic CC, just based on what I’d accumulated and liked the look of at the time. I still have a lot of that CC in my Downloads, I just don’t use it as often anymore as more recently downloaded Maxis match stuff.

21. What’s your Origin ID?

idk, I think I have one but I’ve never shared anything for TS4 so it’s kinda useless lol

22. Who’s your favorite CC creator?

Ooh that’s a tough one, @platinumaspiration comes to mind cause I really love how bright/colorful a lot of their CC is and I like a lot of the clothing/hair styles :)

23. How long have you had a simblr?

2012.............. lol

Here is the 1st post I ever made on here, it’s for TS3 and has way more straightness than my game has had in years lmao

24. How do you edit your pictures?

I explained it here sort of a few years ago, but I have a newer version of Photoscape and I don’t have access to Photoshop anymore. I still do the highlight/shadow tweaking stuff, but I use Photoscape to do that now.

25. What expansion/game/stuff pack do you want next?

Well obviously that’s not a question for TS2 lol but something that both TS3 and TS4 have that would’ve been cool in TS2 is careers that you can actually play/interact with instead of the sim disappearing for 8 hours.

26. What expansion/game/stuff pack is your favorite so far?

Nightlife, I love everything about the themes/aesthetic/gameplay, it has objects/features I use more than any other EP to this day, it’s just exactly my style.

Tagging: @krabbysims @potentialfate-sims @aondaneedles @simmer-until-tender! Feel free to ignore if you’ve done it already haha

Dear Fellow Magic Seeker

I always wanted to believe in magic. I believed in Santa Claus way longer than I should have (especially as a Jew), any outing to walk my dog would be considered a magical adventure, and I would take anything as an excuse to use my imagination. I remember when I was in elementary school, role playing Skylanders on the playground, and believing deep down that they were showing me the way to Skyland. I’m 21 now, and since elementary school, I learned a lot about the world. After all, no one really believed in magic, and anyone who I thought believed alongside me just did it to entertain a child who didn't know any better. How else would you explain the support of those delusions? Now, this is not to say the magic they do believe in isn't real. Science is extraordinarily beautiful, wondrous, and fascinating, every word you would use to describe any fantasy world. However, I always found something off about science. While yes, it is all those things I described, it is also un-fantastical in a way, for lack of a better word. This apathetic nature of science, while hard to describe, is easy to feel. It carries a sort of terran monotony that this whole plane of existence is suffering under. Perhaps its simply the aesthetic of science, or the need to ensure everything is proven, but science (as it is very happy to admit, from my lack of knowledge), does have its fair share of gaps. Gaps that are filled by children with overactive imaginations…out of all people. I am no child psychologist (I would love some input for those who know better about this field than I do), however when kids play dinosaurs, there is a level of..well play. They know it is a game, and they know that they are six year olds stomping around and roaring at each other. But there is also an unspoken contract, a rule to suspend their disbelief and believe wholeheartedly that they are dinosaurs. For those 15 minutes of recess, they were not human. In those 15 minutes, magic was real.

TTRPGs are a space that I do not know much about. I know that people sit around a table, telling a story with their friends, and that story often involves a lot of dice rolling, playing cards, writing, and everything in between. And many parts of this space do intrigue me. Specifically the RP (role play) part. At first glance, those who partake in this hobby are those kids on the playground playing dinosaurs, each consenting to play in this world of fantasy. And although I do hold a place of reverence for TTRPGS, like science, something is missing. Although they do play in this fantasy world, they don't see themselves as full acting participants. Like watching a movie in a theater, they enter the game, play for 3 hours, and then return to their normal lives. In a relatively short timespan, they go from being the main character, to being NPCs. Furthermore, of course this is just pretend, they don't really believe they are orcs, elves, and dragons, that would be unscientific! These games are just vehicles to hang out with your friends with, after all. This is not an attack on TTRPG players, not at all! In fact, they are getting somewhere in the quest to replicate the magic that I am seeking, but once again, something is missing.

I first heard about the otherkin community at the age of around 16. I remember watching a “This Exists' ' video (a now-defunct series about the weird and wonderful sides of the internet) on it, and while I don't remember specifically how I felt, I did feel a sense of yearning. A sense that these individuals hold the answers to what I am seeking, what I truly am. After doing some digging, I found the therian subreddit. After seeing people do tarot readings for what theriotype they were, I decided to throw my hat into the ring. I asked if I was a dolphin or a red panda, two of my favorite animals. The result itself was irrelevant, as I was inadvertently excluded from many therian spaces. I do not wish to play the blame game, or point fingers at any one person or group of individuals, after all this exclusion could be a simple misunderstanding of the customs. However, from my understanding, you can't choose to be therian. I fully expected Sir Ian McKellen himself to enter my room, scream at me “YOU ARE INDEED A DRAGON YOUNG MAN” and leave in a puff of smoke. While I did hear stories of divine intervention, I also heard tales of everything from dehumanization to LSD trips. I also do not personally vibe with the whole “creature of the forest, living away from technology” thing they had going on, an aesthetic I do indeed respect, while not being my own. In short, they had a wonderful community, that was just not my community. They had a wonderful community, but something was missing.

I am an A-list actor, producer, writer and director. I starred in multiple movies that were hits in the box office, a 12 season action-adventure-comedy tv show, and I live in a mansion with an arcade, waterslides, a mario-esque pipe for transport, and doors that could take you anywhere in the multiverse. Sooner or later, I became a protogen (what, you didn't see the furry thing coming from a mile away?), and after that, I became a guardian of imagination, a red panda dragon fursona thing. I could hear the keyboards of 1000 neurotypicals typing now, saying truly insightful comments such as: “this is what people died in wars for” “Jesus will save you” (again, im Jewish) and my personal favorite, the snowflake emoji. However, I could practically see 1000 kids just like me, their faces beaming with excitement and joy, with a million questions, chief among which being “can I do that too?”. After recess ended, I kept my non-normal non-human beliefs. Same with after I graduated, after high school, and even after University. While its easy to say that this is a game for me (to some level, it truly is), it is also something much more. Like those kids on the playground, these beliefs turn mundane existence into a game. A once boring test now becomes a perilous boss fight, family drama becomes unimportant exposition, and my purpose is beyond the capitalist cycle of education, work, retire, die. To those who argue otherwise, a proposition; at what age do you stop believing, what time period do you stop pretending, what phase of life makes you done with believing in your imagination? Simply put, for those questioning if they are beyond human, if they are something greater, if their identity is that of imagination and art, the answer is a simple “do you want to be?”.

alterhuman thoughts!

I always wanted to believe in magic. I believed in Santa Claus way longer than I should have (especially as a Jew), any outing to walk my dog would be considered a magical adventure, and I would take anything as an excuse to use my imagination. I remember when I was in elementary school, playing Skylanders with some kids, and believing deep down that they were showing me the way to Skyland. I’m 21 now, and since elementary school, I learned a lot about the world. After all, no one really believed in magic, and anyone who I thought believed alongside me just did it to entertain a child who didn't know any better. How else would you explain the support of those delusions? No, this is not to say the magic they do believe in isn't real. Science is extraordinarily beautiful, wondrous, and fascinating, every word you would use to describe any fantasy world. However, I always found something off about science. While yes, it is all those things I described, it is also un-fantastical in a way, for lack of a better word. This nature of science, while hard to describe, is easy to feel. It carries a sort of terran monotony that this whole plane of existence is suffering under. Perhaps its simply the aesthetic of science, or the need to ensure everything is proven, but science (as it is very happy to admit, from my lack of knowledge), does have its fair share of gaps. Gaps that are filled by children with overactive imaginations…out of all people. I am no child psychologist (I would love some input for those who know better about this field than I do), however when kids play dinosaurs, there is a level of..well play. They know it is a game, and they know that they are six year olds stomping around and roaring at each other. But there is also an unspoken contract, a rule to suspend their disbelief and believe wholeheartedly that they are dinosaurs. For those 15 minutes of recess, they were not human. In those 15 minutes, magic was real.

younger romanian representatives have been fighting tooth and nail to introduce sex ed in schools for YEARS but always get refused, because god forbid our children know about sex, ooo spooky scary or whatever. we’re also a very religious country (not me stay safe tho) so you can kinda already tell the general stance on sex ed.

but my head teacher does teach us these things. and contrary to the popular old romanian opinion, he doesn’t teach us to have sex, but rather, to have safe sex, or none at all. he’s also told us about sexual aggression and other such crimes that i think are very important to know at this age - especially because in my grandparents’ hometown there’s just been a very punishable incident. nothing of no consent - just two teens having sex, filming it, and then bragging about it and showing it to their friends. obviously the video now reached basically the entire town. the problem is the guy is 16, and the girl is 14 or 15. the age of consent is 16, so obviously, having sex under 16 with someone over 16 is considered rape whether they agreed to it or not. so now that whole small town knows those two had sex and the guy, who is genuinely a good person, risks becoming a registered sex offender for life. and this could’ve been avoided with a simple sex ed lesson and a little bit more brain from those two (seriously why would you share that video with friends)

anyways i think sex ed should be taught in schools because whether we like it or not, teens are out here fucking on the daily and it’s better for them to know what to do and what to avoid in order to have safe and legal sex than risk ruining their lives

(for clarification i am also a teen - 16 to be exact - but i don’t identify with this since i’m an aromantic aceflux lesbian and terrible at talking to girls)

I'm not like Mad at anyone who does this and I'm obviously not in charge of how anyone else tags shit on their own blogs, whatever, but it's always bummed me out when my sex Ed posts get reblogged and tagged with 18+, minors dni, etc. personally I actually very much want teenagers to learn about their bodies and safer sex but I guess I'm just the guy who wrote the thing.

Inside the Mind of Contemporary Artist Senaka Senanayake at Laasya Art Gallery

Laasya Art Gallery offers a deep dive into the creative process of contemporary artist Senaka Senanayake, revealing the inspirations behind his vibrant works.

INTERVIEW WITH CONTEMPORARY MASTER SENAKA SENANAYAKE

Saturated scenes of rainforests, lotuses, heliconias, hummingbirds, butterflies and macaws — artist Senaka Senanayake is renowned for his ability to render the majesty and joy of nature on canvas. One of the most sought-after contemporary artists from Asia today, Senaka’s journey began in Sri Lanka, where he was born and raised. He was identified as an artistic prodigy at a very young age, and by the time he turned 10, he had already exhibited in prestigious institutions both in Sri Lanka and abroad. He has since been the subject of more than 150 solo shows in over 18 countries, and his paintings can be found around the world in Parliament Buildings, in the official residence of the President of Sri Lanka, in the United Nations headquarters in New York and even in the collection of the White House in Washington, DC.

I recently sat down with Senaka over a video chat, and he kindly shared more about his career, creative process and sources of inspiration. From rocketing to fame as a child to studying at Yale in the turbulent atmosphere of the 60s and 70s, he has certainly led a life as rich and fascinating as his paintings.

One of Senaka’s vibrant, large-scale canvases reflects the natural beauty of Sri Lanka that surrounds it.

How would you describe yourself in a few words?

I would say I’m sort of a happy-go-lucky guy. I take life easy as it comes. And I’ve not changed from the time I was a kid!

You got into art at a very early age. What was your environment like, at home and at school, such that it encouraged you to pursue art?

In my school, we had a very progressive teacher. After any lesson, say in geography or history, she would take these big pieces of brown paper, stick them up on the walls and say, “You studied Africa today, why don’t you make some images of African birds?” So all together we would paint murals on the walls. It was unusual for a kid to get a huge surface to paint on — usually children are given an A4 size piece of paper, where you don’t have freedom of movement. The natural tendency for a child to have a big sweep of hand, but a small piece of paper stifles you.

I came back home and told my parents about this, and they thought it was a great idea — it would keep me out of mischief. They got me brown wrapping paper and put it up in my bedroom. My early motifs were mainly animals, birds and life in Sri Lanka, reflecting the environment I lived in.

Senaka’s home garden is filled with plants from all over the world, creating unusual combinations of shapes and colors.

So did you always want to be an artist?

My parents were not that keen that I pursue art as a profession. They would say, “Okay, art is fine, but you will be a doctor, a lawyer, an engineer or an accountant.” At that time, I was also really interested in sports. In fact, my ambition was not to be an artist but to be a serious cricketer!

Senaka paints a large-scale canvas in his studio.

But by age 8, you had an exhibition at the National Art Gallery in Colombo, and by age 10, you had your first international exhibition. How did it feel to experience so much so young?

Truthfully, I never took it that seriously. I never thought about being a professional artist, since my parents did not want me to do so. But what changed my life completely was the exposure I had to the United States. At one of my later exhibitions when I was about 16 or 17 years old, there was a gentleman from the Smithsonian Institute who came and he saw my work. He asked what I wanted to be. I said I was going to be a plastic surgeon. Then he looked me in the eye and said, “When god gives people a talent, it’s not a talent in everything. You would be a very good artist but I doubt you would be a good doctor!” He suggested I attend an American university, as the educational system doesn’t force you to specialize too early in life.

Ultimately I studied art and architecture at Yale, with a minor in political science. After that, I applied to Cambridge to study architecture further. But I didn’t really want to do it, I wanted to continue painting. I took one year off and went back to Sri Lanka, and then I told my parents that I wanted to pursue art professionally. Having had exposure to American life, I was far more rebellious!

This commissioned painting, now hanging in a client’s dining room, beautifully demonstrates one of Senaka’s main themes, lotus flowers.

Host Ventura Smalley Inspires with ''Nights with Ventura''

Ventura Smalley, a 16-year-old radio host, is making waves in the industry with his new show "Nights with Ventura." The nightly Country love song program airs from 7pm-midnight and is available for syndication. Ventura engages with listeners by taking song requests and offering comments, creating a warm and interactive atmosphere for his audience. Ventura's passion for radio began at the young age of 13 or 14 when he started at a community radio station, focusing on adult contemporary love songs. By 15, he had landed his first commercial radio gig, hosting a nighttime slot on an old country station. Despite his youth, Ventura has always been dedicated to his dream of being on the radio and connecting with people. "I've always wanted to be on the radio and talk to people. I love giving advice and helping people with their struggles," Ventura shares. "In my short life so far, I have experienced a lot of things. Most people think 16-year-old kids are playing video games or ditching school; that's not me! I'm blessed that the Lord has allowed me to have a voice on the airwaves. It's a blessing to be able to connect with people." Inspired by renowned radio personality Delilah, Ventura grew up listening to her soothing love songs and aspired to follow in her footsteps. His dream came true when he had the chance to spend time with Delilah and her family on her ranch in February, getting a behind-the-scenes look at her show. Read the full article

Happiness, to me, is feeling loved! ᥫ᭡

Sweet 16: an age when the fantasies of the future ahead seem limitless.

In my case, I chose to turn those fantasies into reality. And I'm filling the canvas of her self-portrait with all the colors of the rainbow. What less should you expect from someone whose name means “wings painted with beautiful colors”?

Coming to Korea from Japan at only 11 years old to become a trainee must have been a huge endeavor in itself.

Just understanding Korean was so hard at first. But once I could speak Korean, I didn’t face too many difficulties. I was used to doing hip hop and choreography before becoming a trainee, so K-pop dancing was hard at first. The poses are completely different, for one thing. So I tried to do it the right way by stretching myself out like this, and had to send energy right out to my fingertips since its hand and body movements are really precise compared to hip hop. I figured out little details by watching other people do them, and learning from feedback how to make it look better was a whole fun process of discovery. I even enjoyed the monthly evaluations because I was grateful for the opportunity they gave me to grow.

The lyrics to “Midnight Fiction” are a reflection of the ILLIT members’ imaginations. What image did you have in your mind?

The lyrics, “On a walk and the clouds look like my dog,” came from something I imagined. It’s like, when you look at the sky, the clouds are all different shapes. When I see a cloud that looks like a cat or a dog, I think, That’s cute! Lucky! That’s why I wrote those lyrics. I actually wrote them with “Lucky Girl Syndrome” in mind, but they ended up as part of “Midnight Fiction.”

“Lucky Girl Syndrome” forms the basis for the SUPER REAL ME film that you star in. You showed how doing simple things—you “look at baby animal pictures,” “wear cute socks,” and “pick a lucky gummy candy and eat it”—is the secret to having good luck

“Lucky Girl Syndrome” is really similar with who I am. I always find happiness in the little things. I feel lucky when I see clouds that look like other things, and I also like picking out candy and scrolling around shopping sites. And I like cats and dogs, so looking at videos or photos of baby animals fills me with energy. It was fun thinking about that side of myself while performing “Lucky Girl Syndrome”

You might not always voice your thoughts, but you think about things quite thoroughly.

I always thought of myself as someone who doesn’t think about things very deeply, but I recently came to realize that I’m always thinking a lot without even being aware of it. It’s not that I don’t have thoughts of my own—I just don’t talk about them much. Sometimes when something tough comes up, I talk to my parents, but living by myself in Korea has made me feel like I can handle anything by myself, so I stopped opening up as much. But the other ILLIT members told me it’s okay to share when I’m having a hard time, so now I think it’d be better to express myself a little more.

What would serve as wings for you, whenever you are having a hard time?

Encouragement. Words of encouragement mean so much to me. My parents have been supporting me with messages and phone calls ever since I was young. And fans always write letters, too. Whenever I receive encouragement like that, I think to myself, You have to keep going. Don’t get discouraged. Happiness, to me, is feeling loved.

Anthony's Stupid Daily Blog (720): Thu 8th Mar 2024

I thought about how I always try to combine two or more ideas whenever I get a tattoo in order to get more original and unique imagery and I have decided apply this logic to a new business enterprise as I set up my own mobile museum. Instead of getting people to come to my museum I will take it to them as I will be driving the bus Rosa Parks would be arrested on and inside rather than spreading out all of the exhibits I will have them collected into one piece. It will be The Elephant Man’s skeleton wearing Jackie Kennedy’s blood stained dress, holding one of the violins the musicians on the Titanic was playing, in the other hand he'll be carrying the headless bat that Ozzy Osbourne bit the head off and on his feet will be the ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz. Tell me you wouldn't pay money to hop on the mobile museum to check it out if it drove into your town. After four very long years I have finally finished my gruelling but also incredibly pleasurable challenge to read every book to win the Edgar Award for Best Novel. I don’t know how I found out about these awards (though I suspect it was just through randomly trawling through Wikipedia) or why I decided to read every winning book but when I sat down to read the first winner “Beat Not The Bones” by Charlotte Jay I couldn’t imagine I wouldn’t finish the challenge until four years later. After nearly half a decade of this on again off again mission, at approximately 16:00 today I finished the final book in the challenge, Notes on an Execution. The final pages of the book depict the last moments of a murderer on death row as he sees the world slip away much like I was watching the final moments of my beautiful four year long task disintegrate before my eyes like a swan in a barrel of acid. I immediately took out my bucket list and struck a line through “Edgar Awards” and breathed a huge sigh of relief before stepping outside to do several interviews with the big news networks and watching all the video messages of congratulations from celebrities such as Lee Ryan from Blue, Justin Lee Collins and The Pope. I’m so glad that this thing is over but at the same time I’m thankful that I’ve been introduced to a lot of amazing writers whose work I never would have gotten to sample if it weren’t for this insane challenge. Starting tomorrow I will begin my new insane challenge of attempting to read every book by the great Philip K Dick.

I watched an episode of The One Show that covered a book award ceremony for children who had written stories made up of 500 words or less. I don't know why but I hate seeing children display talent at an incredibly young age. It's probably because when I was a child I submitted a story for this competition about a nymphomaniac bank manager who constantly takes customers into the bank's giant vault to bang them which I titled "Safe Sex" and not only did it not win but I was forced to undergo counseling and electroshock treatment. One of the winners was this eleven year old kid and he was a right smug little cunt. When the host asked him if he could believe he won he replied in a deadpan fashion “Well yeah because you just said it” and when Alex Jones asked if he would continue writing he said “Well I’m currently writing three stories”. This self-congratulatory bitch is going to end up being the Prime Minister one day isn't he? In twenty years time when I get my well earned OBE for all the great sitcoms I write it's going to be this smarmy gobshite who ruins my day by giving me my medal and commenting "I've never seen your stuff personally but I'm told it's very funny".Tom Hiddleston presented an award but he didn’t do his Robert De Niro impression. I actually want to write a Philip K Dick-style book where Hiddleston runs for president and his only act is to make it punishable by death to watch, share or discuss his De Niro impression ever happened.

Disneyland gets the best in Bishop Marvin Sapp

The Disney experience has been an integral part of the lives of Bishop Marvin Sapp and his children. Sapp and his family have made annual trips to the Happiest Place on Earth for the greater part of more than two decades. The magic never gets old for the longtime minister and veteran gospel singer. “I’m a Disney fanatic,” Sapp said during a video conference interview. “ For the last twenty-seven years, my children and I have gone to Disney World twice a year. We go every August, and we go every Christmas. And that has been our thing as a family… to the point that my daughter…she has Disney stock."

Bishop Marvin Sapp performs during the funeral service for Aretha Franklin at Greater Grace Temple, Friday, Aug. 31, 2018, in Detroit. Franklin died Aug. 16, 2018 of pancreatic cancer at the age of 76. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya) “So the fact that they thought enough of me to invite me to be a part of such an amazing event, I’m just honored. I’m just ready to get there, hit the stage, and give my very best, and hopefully, you know, people will be blessed by that which they hear, we share, ” he added. This year, Sapp, the recipient of 24 Stellar Awards and 13 Grammy nominations, was invited to participate in the Disneyland Celebrate Gospel mega event, which features local and well-known gospel choirs. Sapp, along with Tasha Cobbs Leonard, are the headliners as Disneyland incorporates the sound of gospel music into the theme park as part of its Black History Month homage. Known for his gospel-tuned megahits “The Best in Me” and “Never Would Have Made It,” Sapp’s adoration for the Magic Kingdom is not about the rides. What has made the Disney touch come alive for the “My Testimony” singer is the entire ambiance of what Disney is about, he said. “Whenever I go to Disney, I look at things different than most people go,” Sapp said. “I can count the number of rides that I’ve ridden on the last twenty-something years. But whenever they’re doing a re-model or they’re building something, they always put plaques of you know, things that Walt Disney had said or different statements. When they have their parades or when they do their shows, they always have a message that’s in there that’s positive, that talks about what you can do and what you can accomplish.” “And honestly, as a preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ, you know, that environment in itself, you know…I go there just to retreat and to be around that environment and literally forecast for my future and forecast for my church’s future. So we can say that it’s a magical place. I choose to think that it’s an empowering place that gives you…For me, it ignites the fire on the inside of me that allows me to go back home and do great exploits.” Sapp is one of the greatest gospel singers in the world. Disneyland and its guests are blessed to have this phenomenal singer and minister in their presence. The month of February is celebrated worldwide in recognition of all the contributions Black Americans have given to the United States and worldwide. From slavery to the Reconstruction era to Jim Crow to today, at the core of the existence of the Black American experience has been the gift to sing our hearts out. My grandmother and mother used to sing those old hymns around the house all week and on Sunday mornings when we attended church. The sounds of gospel stalwarts like Mahalia Jackson, The Jackson Southernaires, Rev. James Cleveland, Gospel Keynotes, Mighty Clouds of Joy, Dorothy Love Coates and The Gospel Harmonettes, Shirley Caesar, and Sam Cooke resonated throughout my house as I grew up. It was always present. You could not escape it.

Sapp (@marvinsapp) May 25, 2022 That generation of gospel music gave way to individuals like Sapp, Edwin and Walter Hawkins, Yolanda Adams, Kirk Franklin, Andre Crouch, The Winans, Donald Lawrence, Fred Hammond and Commissioned, and John P. Kee and The New Life Community Choir. Today’s gospel music has shifted to a more Hosanna sound that features more praise and worship. Sapp and Cobbs Leonard are both throwbacks to an era of gospel music that this writer grew up with whereas the more contemporary sounds of William McDowell and Tye Tribbett are ushering this tradition into the future. The genre of gospel music may have shifted, but the tie-in to Black History Month is one of the same, said Sapp. “Gospel music is Black history,” Sapp remarked. “That’s just fact. You know, even when you go back to the time, you know, of individuals in slavery. The songs that they sung, from Harriet Tubman until now, it was a call. There was a response. It was a message of hope and help. And I think that, you know, gospel music still is that. It’s the good news of Jesus Christ, but it’s also a message of help. It’s also a message of hope that says that no matter how difficult or challenging life may seem to be, that there is a way out. And that way out may not always be physical, but it’s definitely spiritual.” Bishop Marvin Sapp is the pastor of The Chosen Vessel Church in Fort Worth, Texas.

So let's dive in and uncover the secrets behind achieving lasting success in the lawn and landscape industry.

"It's hard work. You've got equipment, you've got people, you got the weather, you've got all the inflation going on and fuel, you're gonna go out and do this and not be profitable, man, just go fishing" - Kory Ballard

Topics Covered:

But I think to your point, though, is communication. Hey, guys, we've got this project, we really need to wrap it up Friday, if we could do that. We've got some bonuses in here. You know, it's as a small company, it's nice to be able to show those guys exactly." - Kory

"A criteria of the people who watch my videos are just getting started. They're so excited. And I get these messages in my inbox sometime. And I'm so excited because I remember how I felt but with some of these guys, were all I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna grow a multimillion dollar business, just watch me. So from somebody who's just getting started, who that's their vision and their dream, maybe they believe that will make them feel worthy. Or maybe like that'll make people they love proud of them or for any different reason." - Keith

Chance The Rapper Danced Inappropriately With Another Woman, Did He Cheat On His Wife?

Many fans are wondering whether Chance the Rapper cheated on his wife after a video surfaced showing him dancing with another woman. Chance After dating intermittently since 2013, the rapper wed his bride in 2019. They have been friends since they were young and have two children together, Kensli (born in 2015) and Marli (born in 2019). Chance shared on Instagram the value of being a husband and parent while also announcing the cancellation of his 2019 tour. "When Kensli was born, I went on tour 2 weeks later and missed some of the most significant milestones in her life, but more importantly I was absent when her mother needed me the most," he wrote at the time. Now that I'm a husband and a parent of two, I understand that I can't repeat that error. In these early months of raising Kensli and Marli, I need to be as supportive and accessible as I can be to my wife. I'm sorry; I know there were a lot of people waiting for me to show up soon. I hope you'll forgive me when the time comes. So, did Chance the Rapper have an affair with his wife? Discover more by reading on.

Did Chance The Rapper cheat on his wife?

View this post on Instagram A post shared by M E L A (@melaxgoddess) Does Chance the Rapper have a cheating spouse? Online, a lot of people have this opinion. Model Mela Millz uploaded a video to Instagram on April 17, 2023, of herself fawning over Chance the Rapper at a Jamaican Carnival festival. The "No Problems" rapper was accused of cheating on his wife by Twitter users in response. To be clear. Can we get a closer look at his ring finger, please?" another person said. I'm not even kidding when I say I hope his wife leaves him for this, according to another fan statement that was tweeted. Other admirers defended his dancing by pointing out that it is customary to dance during the festival. Everyone is mentioning his wife. Not very deep dancing, especially at carnival. If you danced with a stranger, you might never see them again. Married or not," one Twitter user wrote. “On the original Instagram post, another user wrote: "The fact that so many people are asking if he's married just proves to me that Carnival needs to stay a Caribbean event because I can't." This is obviously not inappropriate unless he and his wife had a discussion and she didn't want him to attend, a fan wrote in a tweet. If you go, you might end up dancing and having a good time. That is the event's purpose.

Who is Chance The Rapper’s wife?

Who is the wife of Chance The Rapper? Kristen Corley is the wife of Chance the Rapper. At age nine, the two first ran into each other. Chance remembered the lengthy Twitter conversation where he confessed his love for her at first sight. Chance recounted in an Ellen episode, "My mom worked at a real estate office with her mom. When I was nine years old, I attended a real estate party where her daughters performed a choreographed dance because they enjoy dancing. When I saw her dancing, I immediately thought, "Let's get married! " When describing the moment he saw her dancing to Destiny's Child, he went into great detail. In reality, I was just staring at her while she and her girls mastered the choreography and the skill of lip-syncing in a level that even the most experienced performers have yet to achieve. "I really shouldn't even say locked eyes because really, I was just staring at her." This was not the appropriate time or location. Not only because it wasn't my party, not just because it was their turn to dance, and not even just because I was uncomfortable dancing in front of people. Because I was going to marry that girl and didn't want to rush things, Chance explained. So, shaking my head in fear, I retreated to the rear of the group and avoided making eye contact.
