episode four: scream... or maybe not? - atsumu miya

kai's halloween '24 miniseries - a halloween to remember!!

CONTENT WARNINGS: msby visits a haunted house, fake murder, fake blood, 1 (one) ghostface appearance

EPISODE RUNTIME: 997 words || previous (episode three) || next (episode five)

moodboard

“hey, guys, welcome to the msby black jackals’ official blog!” you wave at the camera, and turn the phone lens on your team. well, it’s more like three of the team's members. inunaki's out with his girlfriend, barnes is out of the country, and tomas is visiting his parents in aichi. of course, meian wants nothing to do with their nonsense, least of all on a peaceful wednesday evening.

hinata and bokuto flash mega-watt smiles at the camera, waving enthusiastically. sakusa hides from the prying lens, pulling his mask up further.

and atsumu… is late. 

an annoyed sakusa mutters some not-very-complimentary comments under his breath, but as if on cue, you spot a familiar head of piss-blond hair making its way through the crowd. you have the inexplicable urge to tear it from its owner’s scalp.

“aaaaand… here he is. finally. say hi, atsumu.”

“hey, y'all!” blissfully ignorant of your annoyance, he shoots the camera the sideways smirk that msby's fans practically live for. “i've been preparin’ for today with scary movie marathons. no way this is gonna scare me off!”

“i dunno, miya… this place seems mighty creepy, don't you think?” you grin widely, and the camera pans over to show an old dilapidated house. the vicinity is illuminated briefly by a flash of lightning as you speak, like a cartoon cliché. his fearless facade seems to falter, and you chuckle.

“in case you didn't already know,” bokuto chirps, throwing an arm around your shoulder, “we're at the spookiest haunted house in osaka tonight to test our mettle!”

“i'm placing bets on atsumu to run out screaming like a little girl,” sakusa comments offhandedly. the chat goes crazy, spamming laughing-crying emojis and asking to hear atsumu's response to this.

atsumu's eyes narrow. “you've got a bet, omi-omi. if i get through without chickening out, i win.”

“loser does water-bottle duty for a month,” hinata challenges. a hush falls over the rest as the atmosphere seems to change, the stakes raised.

“no,” atsumu breathes. 

sakusa's tone is uncharacteristically smug. 

“then, don't lose.”

you find that atsumu is the worst haunted house partner ever. he's screaming at every moving shadow and every flashing light. not to mention that his terrified yelps are the most horror-movie-realistic noises you've head all night. you groan. you may have had to split up at the entrance, but why oh why didn't you take sakusa along with you instead? 

“chat, are you seeing this?” atsumu says for the fifth time in seven minutes, and you snatch the phone from his hand.

just then, you hear a floorboard creak loudly, and the sound of a heavy object hitting a hard surface. your guard is instantly up, and you scan your surroundings for any potential scares. atsumu follows close behind you, ragged breaths fanning down the back of your neck.

“don't tell me you're scared already.” you smile wickedly, pressing the tip of your finger to your lips. “we're just getting started.”

“try me,” atsumu retorts, plastering a confident smile on his face. he leans in to stare at you, and you push his face away with your hand, blushing.

as you move into the next room, brandishing the phone in front of you, the chat overflows with messages telling you there's something moving in the far corner. atsumu squints, angling his head away from the phone screen to peer into the darkness…

and screams. 

you let out a noise of annoyance. you push him aside to take a look for yourself, and sure enough, it's another haunted house cliché. a masked ghostface killer stabs a woman gasping for air, and looks up as they notice you.

“come on, miya, you know it's another of their gimmicks-” you start to say, but you cut yourself off when the masked figure stands up and advances towards the two of you.

“sir, i don't think the staff are supposed to be coming this close to the visitors…” atsumu's voice trails off, and he grabs ahold of your arm firmly, backing the two of you away.

ghostface chuckles. “you really think this is all just a part of the experience?”

fear grips you like a cold hand.

“run,” the woman rasps, blood spurting out from her neck wound, and the two of you turn back the way you came, panting and looking back periodically. being the pro athlete he is, atsumu quickly overtakes you. you hear the knife-wielding psycho bearing down on you and suddenly you're hoisted across atsumu's shoulders as he bolts for the exit. you're horrified to find it's locked, and as you yell for him to go the other way, the lights come on.

what?

you hear bokuto and hinata’s raucous laughter, and ghostface pulls his mask off. to your shock, it’s osamu, and you realise this must have all been an elaborate prank. targeting atsumu, no doubt, but unfortunately you’ve been caught in the crossfire. suddenly you’re all too aware of atsumu’s arms around you, holding you securely in place.

“atsumu,” you sigh. “you can put me down now.”

face flushed, he sets you back on the ground.

there is a lot of screaming and yelling and roughhousing once the initial shock wears off. shaking your head, you go back to retrieve your phone, which you’d dropped during the chase. you find it in a corner of the room and stand up to leave-

and bump into atsumu.

“well,” atsumu says after an awkward silence. “sorry fer scaring ya over somethin’ that wasn’t even real.”

“it’s all good, i didn’t even realise it wasn’t.” you offer him a genuine smile, which quickly turns into a devious smirk. “i also didn’t realise you were the gentlemanly type. thought you’d leave your poor manager for dead at the first sign of danger.” 

he follows you out, protesting, but there’s a soft glimmer in his eyes that wasn’t there before, and that you think you’d like to see again.

even if it means getting jumpscared again.

DIRECTOR'S NOTE:

dang this was kinda long and also kinda unserious

(but then again, this is atsumu we're talking about here)

watched scream original (i did not scream but salmon did) (a lot)

last chapter incoming! already cooking up ideas for halloween 2025 lol

girl help i had to change colors bc i cannot read my own ask as i write it because tumblr is showing me black on dark blue... anyway. for some reason i rarely if ever see people talk abt souma on your blog? which is mega unfair because he's adorable and eager to please and would make an amazing stud. please hear me out. (afab reader)

he's a massive virgin, it's pathetic in an endearing way. poor boy has never felt so good in his life, he can't help but cum fast. he's v embarrassed, but he'll persevere regardless, fighting through the overstimulation so he can satisfy you. even just a little praise goes a long way in motivating him, as long as you ask him to he'll fuck you until he's shooting blanks. over time he gets more and more stamina too, meaning he can really enjoy your pussy without hitting his limit early on

so you see what i mean when i say he'd be a perfect stud right. he's very obedient, all he wants is to satisfy you. if you want him to breed you, just say the word and he'll get to it right away. he'll empty load after load in your pussy until you're satisfied, all while praising you, rambling about how good you feel, and maybe shedding a few tears himself.

do expect him to get quite clingy once you're all done. he wants to hear you tell him he did well, so be sure to praise him lots. one last thing, he almost certainly responds to being called "good boy". do with that information what you will

yeah I rarely get souma stuff, he doesn’t even have his own masterlist :(

argh you’re so right tho. he’s so eager to please as long as you keep praising him. he could definitely be into marathon sex, it tests his stamina AND pleases you by filling you up. after a few sessions he’ll eagerly ask when the next time you want him to breed you will be

A Tag? In this Decade??? ... okay. '. '

Was tagged by my longtime friend @taralen to try this. Technically she tagged my art blog @jamesartsystuff but it'll make more sense to do this here on main.

Three ships: (Bear with me; I don't regularly think about ships ;;)

Mario & Peach: Pretty simple & straightforward but in some cases you really can't beat the classics.

Zero & Iris (Mega Man X): It's the age old hardened warrior & delicate flower sort of pairing. Kinda wish it cooked for more than one game (let alone the same one Iris got killed in) but there's been enough nods to leave one's imagination running for awhile.

White & Red (Neon White): The cool yet clueless romantic and the playful but caring sharpshooter. Thought their chemistry was cute and it helps that Red was also a total babe ~

First ship:

I ... think Mario & Peach was my first one? Not completely certain but that's the only one that immediately comes to mind.

Last song:

One More Time by Kotono Shibuya

Been playing this one on loop for the past while. At first I only knew it as the Japanese Opening for Mega Man X3, but I learned later it was also made for a Tokusatsu show called "Guyferd".

Last movie:

Speed Racer (2008)

I'm vaguely familiar with the original anime but my friends talked me into watching WB's movie adaptation. It was absurd in all the best ways and I'll stand my ground that John Goodman as Pops Racer was perfect casting.

Currently reading:

Spy x Family & Chainsaw Man

I watched some of the SxF anime with another friend, and Tara was sharing CSM with me so I decided to try the manga for both around the same time. They've both been a good read so far but now I'm just waiting for their next volumes to be published soon. ==;

Currently watching:

The Ghost & Molly McGee

Haven't gone out of my way to watch any new Disney shows but my friends convinced me to marathon this one with them. It's not Owl House or Amphibia levels of deep (least as far as I know) but it's still a fun show that has its heart in the right place. Also how could I say no to Dana Snyder as Scratch the Ghost?

I'm coming back!

I really, really wanted to preface this with some kind of reference, like "And when the world needed them most-" or something, but that felt like it would be too arrogant.

Never mind! Damn, has it seriously been almost half a year? I must be getting old because time is speeding up, oh hell. Anyway, I never really planned on being away for so long, I was thinking closer to a month. But! In the next few days/week I shall be returning to active duty, so to speak.

Might be slow. I have *checks clipboard* over three hundred asks to address. Whoa nellie. Sure, some of them are probably repeats and I'm sure some of them are no longer relevant based purely on age, but I shall read every single one and try to answer everything! I have skimmed through only a couple of times and some of the kind messages I got have already warmed my heart. Say it with me, say it guys, #MyAnonsAreTheBest.

I also need to actually get caught up with HPHM. Yeah, I haven't been playing and I'm a little behind on following the updates to the story. As in, half a dozen chapters or so. Ahaha. Whoops. Oh well, just means I can marathon Akemi Stormborn's videos. On a related note, go check out Akemi's HPHM Let's Play! The extent of my knowledge at the time of writing this basically sums up as "Peregrine, you bastard." But that's hardly news.

Oh, something else to announce! I said a while back that I was doing some housekeeping on my blog. I kind of need to resume that, and one of the things that will include is changing my URL. Been meaning to get around to it for a while, as I already have something in mind. Just wanting to announce that ahead of time to avoid confusion. I also have other mega-posts and such I've created or plan to create. This is like cleaning up my room! (Come to think of it, I need to clean up my room...)

Man, have I missed you guys. But the catnap is coming to an end! Expect to see posts in the coming days.

Can you explain the origin of goncharev???

Ahhhhh... my friend your ask has set me with a nigh impossible task, for Goncharov as a phenomenon is a many-legged kraken whose suckers will snag any unsuspecting tumblr-fish swimming by while its center remains hidden by the jagged edges of the digital reef.

But i will try!

See, it started with a shoe.

No, it started with someone making a shoe who did not know what they were doing.

Nay, it started with someone being slapped with the dodgeball of Apollo's gift of prophecy and predicting that tumblr would hence come together to invent a piece of media and create a Fandom out of it so vast and authentic, people outside the hivemind would believe it was real and start to be driven mad with trying to find the source that only exists in the shape that is left empty by all the fannish things created around it.

And the tumbrlinas would be so delighted by their own work that they perpertuated it to the point of alerting its supposed creator who then went IN ON THE BIT.

And so the new fannish corner of the internet trundles on, continuing to make art and writing and music and meta discussions and we looked upon it and shared it as good.

Or, you know, you can have the origin explainer post (as far as i can tell) here🤣🤪🤭:

𝐓𝐀𝐆 (𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐄) 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑

Got tagged by @hedgewyse whom I was very happy to get to know better via this tag game, thanks a lot! Sorry it took so long to respond, I needed to get on tumblr on the laptop where I can actually type up text and I had a lot of things going on this past week that kept me LOL.

Favourite colour: Blue.

No explanation, not particular reason why, it’s just always been blue. All shades from deep purple to almost white. But I have a special place in my heart for the word ‘turquoise’, which I feel is just so the most. 

Currently reading: Oh good gosh, my open doc reading list is so long, I will constrain myself to the most recent things...

“(Love is)The second oldest profession” The 9-1-1 Buck/Eddie pornstar!AU I knew I needed but kept for a special occasion

I’m also reading “Achtsam Morden” a national German bestseller and the first actual like physical book I’ve picked up in probably four years. It’s hilarious and murdery and perfect

I’m listening to “Blood & Paper” by Kevin Hearne (whom I recently got to meet at a book signing event when he was visiting here and a friend asked me to spontaneously tag along - best decision in ages) Love the audiobook version read by Luke Daniels, he’s a whizz with the accents.

“Hide the drums (there’s fire in the sky)” latest installment of the Magical Marriage Ribbons-Verse, the Untamed Mega Saga, for which the author starandrea has been posting a chapter every day since May 31st 2020, so 805 consecutive days as of now without missing ONE. It boggles the mind. (I’ve started reading when the verse was ... oh I think about three parts in, I haven’t missed one too since then)

Last song: “The Greatest Show on Earth” - Nightwish, it’s my soundtrack for my daily yoga practice (no I am in fact not joking), so it doesn’t really count last leisure listening was the soundtrack of ‘Robin Hood - Das Musical’

Last series: Ooofff... ok, so many balls in the air at the same time. I’m watching “The Sandman” of course, as you do and loving it. Also ���Extraordinary Attorney Woo” which is THE MOST(tm). Recently finished my rewatch and catch-up of “Manifest” and rewatched a couple of episodes of The Devil Judge with a friend who just started and that I got into it, remembering why I can’t be normal about those boys (and how delightful it is to rewatch with someone experiencing sth for the first time). Of course went down the magnificent and batshit crazy rabbithole that is Kinnporsche. Also, “Tomorrow” which is definitely my fav K-Drama of 2022.

Last movie: Day Shift - Fun and a nice remix of vampire tropes that you don’t really see on top of each other a lot. But it felt more like a set up to a movie trilogy I don’t know if it’s made enough impact into getting, so the premise might have been served better as a mini series? ...The Gray Man, which was solid and enjoyable and absolutely bonkers with how hilarious it was to watch Chris Evans have a ton of fun playing straight up, no holds barred, unredeemable villian. Ryan Gosling can stay... Ana de Armas is queen bee.

Currently working on: My last day of vacation :sob: and of course my WIP/plot bunnie enclosure excel spreadsheet (yes, I do not do things by half until I halfass writing them). Anyway, actual words or plotty thinky thoughts were put into:

- The Devil Judge a/b/o PWP (that has, so far, about 5k of set up and no porn) with a Jung Sunah made them do it scenario and non-traditional dynamics (yeah, idek...)

- Vincenzo Inception fusion - Jang Han Seo wakes up from getting shot to a curious set up of sleeping people around him (really really wanna write this one but the premise is so vast I’m afraid of flaming out again)

- three separate 9-1-1 Buddie fics of varying size and scope that reaches from one’s in love the other isn’t and confessions make things complicated (or do they), the fall out from the truck bombing goes the other way for Buck & the “Eddie deals with his 5B-issues by discovering shibari”!AU (do NOT try this at home-therapy)

- The Untamed - Blades of Glory!AU

pheeeeew. hooookay, wow, that was interesting, hope your learned something about me. I’mma tag some people, but please, feel free to participate at your own leisure. @hattalove, @the-marathon-continues-nip , @iskarieot, @themostglorioushour, @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels , @fondofeveryprickle, @ahhhnorealnamesallowed, @sam-t-a, @b612sunsets

Vermicelli Pulao is a one pot nutritious meal, with the goodness of made with the vermicelli noodles(Sevai/Jave) and mixed vegetables.

A light and nutritious meal that can be packed in lunch boxes(stays fresh for at least 4-5 hrs in Thermos Flask), weekend breakfast or for quick dinner.

Vermicelli are cooked  in both sweet and savoury forms and there are lot of variations in both the ways. I have shared a savoury vermicelli recipe of “Namkeen Jave” that is quick an easy recipe and a family favourite. Vermicelli Pulao is a variation of this recipe, where you can add more vegetables to enhance the nutrient value. I make this version mainly for kids school lunchbox, or for quick dinner option. It is light on stomach and filling. The spice level in pulao can be adjusted as per your taste. I do not make it very spicy and keep the spice level to medium so the kids specially my 7 yr old can have it conveniently a school.

How to make Vermicelli Pulao.. 

Each one has their own version of making this one pot meal.  Be it Namkeen Jave or Meethe Jave(Vermicelli Pudding in Milk), I always roast  sevai before cooking, this enhances the flavour of any vermicelli dish.

I like to add vegetables like peas, carrots, sweet corn and potatoes. You can use the fresh or frozen vegetables.

One thing the really adds flavour to savoury vermicelli dishes is Desi Ghee. I do not shy away from using Desi Ghee, it really enhances the flavour of dishes and is good for kids and even grown ups when had in moderation. Eating healthy and doing workouts of any kind like walking, yoga, swimming must be a part of your daily routine. To stay healthy, working out is also very important apart from having a healthy and nutritious meal.

To avoid the sticky Pulao, one should  add water very carefully while cooking it, and also the flame should be kept on medium. Too high flame will dry up the water very quickly and leaves uncooked vermicelli. Too low heat will make it very sticky.

Let’s see how I make this Light and nutritious Vermicelli Pulao 

Vermicelli Pulao

A light and nutritious quick meal with vermicelli/sevai/jave and mixed vegetables. Learn how to make Vermicelli Pulao. 

2 Cups Vermicelli

1 Onion(medium)

1 Cup Mixed vegetables (carrots, pea, corn, potatoes)

1 Tomato

1 tbsp Cumin Seeds/Jeera

1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder

1/2-1 tsp Red Chilli Powder

1 tsp Garam Masala (I do not add)

1 tbsp Desi Ghee/Good Vegetable Oil

Salt to taste

In an non stick pan, dry roast vermicelli till light brown. when done, take out in a plate and keep aside to cool.

Finely chop onions and tomato. If adding potato, cut potato in small and thin pieces else these take time to cook or will be raw.

In another pan or same pan, add ghee in pan, when the ghee is warm enough add cumin seeds/jeera.

Once the seeds crackle, add finely chopped onions. When onions turn light pink, add chopped tomatoes.

Cook till tomatoes start turning soft. Add vegetables and saute for a minute. Add the spices and salt and mix well.

Add 1/2 Cup water, cover and cook the vegetables for a 2-3 minutes. 

Once the veggies are soft, add the roasted vermicelli mix well and add another 1/2 Cup water. 

Cover and cook on medium flame, till water dries up and  vermicelli. Do not over mix vermicelli as these will get sticky and mushy. Also, once done, cover and keep off flame for 3-4 minutes. 

fluff and serve with ketchup or chutney or just like that. 

Add finely chopped green chillies inplace of red chillies. I didn’t had so skipped here and added red chilli powder. 

#gallery-0-4 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 25%; } #gallery-0-4 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-4 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

hihi i love ur blog

can i request ritsu, kaoru and/or rei with a mega insomniac s/o?,,

hi hi anon! thank you lots <3.. hopefully you don't mind that this is a little more light-hearted,, insomnia is a serious problem and can hinder you from living your life normally, and should be treated like a problem—i'm just hoping i can make the topic feel a little lighter for those who struggle with it, as i do too!! please enjoy!! (sorry for the text wall)

✦ — KAORU & RITSU w/ an insomniac s/o !

SAKUMA RITSU

you're.. in a little bit of a pinch here.

the difference feels like it creates a massive rift between you. he sleeps nearly all day, you can't keep an eye shut for more than an hour. you just wake up.

and ritsu really really wants to sleep together with you. sleep is his love language frfr. this dude will invite you to his house and then fall asleep on you. + you'll have lots and lots of sleepovers..

here comes another problem—ritsu is so damn clingy all the time, you're sometimes afraid he is going to squeeze you to death in his sleep because everytime you move he clutches tighter like the snake he is.

so you're oftentimes restricted in your movement and have to stare at the wall for hours at the time while ritsu is having the time of his life in dreamland. you can't take part in it for long, even if you are tired, you can't sleep, and your medication doesn't cut it anymore.

but do not fret, he will catch on after a while and he's not mean enough to have you keep doing that. sleeping together is better than alone is it not? it's a little bit of a selfish wish, too..

"are you going to sleep again?", you asked, for the third time that day. ritsu invited you over and had you try different blankets and beddings and whatnot, only for he himself to doze off. the bed was already sunken in in the spot that he laid in.

more blankets and pillows were tossed on the bed infront of you. "nee, [y/n]-chin is so sour today.. the things i do for them! we are going to sleep, not just me. couples take naps together, no?", he said, crawling up and over to plop himself down right next to you, tugging you down by the arm so that you lay face to face.

"now, i'm tired from carrying all those blankets.. let's sleep."

he'll help you don't worry. it's okay he's read about it on google he knows what he's doing.. you'll be soundly asleep in no time. :thumbs up:

he suggests that you journal before bed, or make a checklist for the next day so it's not worries keeping you awake. he'll join you. it doesn't go as intended as the page ends up filled with terribly deformed little stick-animals instead. but it's a step in the right direction???

can't close your eyes? he'll lend you one of his sleeping masks, it's just like closing your eyes is it not? when it ends up not working, you have to talk him out of bringing the hot glue gun (he's joking he wont glue your eyes shut ok <3)

when that all doesn't work.. journal, checklist, mask, even goddamn hypnosis.. he picks up a whistle and a stopwatch. and a parasol for himself because you are going outside. and you are doing sports that evening. coach ritsu will tire you out physically. if the laws of biology apply to you, then you HAAAVE to sleep properly soon.

and you both are beat. you've ran a whole marathon and a bit more. and he chased after you panting like a dog. now you're both on really low energy. he's learned this in school when you run a lot you get tired. best solution: nap time.

just as usual, you both lay down in the mass of pillows. he's tucked in your chest, arms looped around your torso, snoring quietly as usual. before he went to sleep, he went to direct your hand to his head. (pat his head <3) what's unusual is that you really really feel like you could fall asleep instantly.

mission successful. NOW REPEAT.

HAKAZE KAORU

first thing he feels when he somehow finds out you're staying up for waaaay too long to be healthy is concern. at first he guessed it was just your face, because some people just look tired constantly, but.. you must actually be really tired.

he'll be the fastest to come to your house. kaoru helps when nobody asked and is especially insistent when they refuse so you can't really dodge him

oh and he has a lot of questions when he arrives. why didn't you tell him sooner? since when?? why?? did you consult your doctor?? if you didn't he's taking you there as soon as possible and you're getting a prescription

kaoru will stay on the phone with you until you sleep if you want to—or maybe he'll come over—his vibes are very calming and he can hold a conversation by himself if you just need something to listen to :thumbs up: he'll even sing you a song!! or play you one :D

you felt bad for bothering him, but you would feel even worse if you saw his sulking face the next day—so you called kaoru at nearly midnight. surprisingly, he answered. you were still in bed, but he was at the table, surrounded by papers—and a weird tube. "what is that? is that a flute?", you asked, squinting.

he gasped, insulted, "excuse you? this is a recorder, no flute.", kaoru picked the instrument from the table, holding it straight to his lips. "it's different, see? actually.. let me demonstrate with a song—don't fall asleep quite yet, you might miss the best part!~"

on the nights that you can't sleep, he'll be awake to accompany you. don't even try talking him out of it, it won't work. he is very insistent on being there for you.

if you really really can't sleep and he doesn't have anything important coming up.. you're going on a walk with kaoru!! at night. isn't that great?

you get to pick what you want to do—tire yourself a little so you can get some sleep when you get home. run around a little. maybe you wanna settle down next to a river or something? he'll show you his pebble-tossing skills. watch it bounce seven times, maybe you want to have a contest?

kaoru can allow himself a bit more as well, since it's night and nobody can recognize him—ohoho you can actually go to town unbothered!! prepare to get spoiled. and also be prepared for getting a thousand photos taken of you because he cannot contain himself when the lights make you look so good!!

invite him over already. have a sleepover. or go to his place. he's one of the best people to have when you're going through this because he doesn't judge and will help you out—REWARD HIM ACCORDINGLY!! hold him real tight ok?? goodnight!! sleep tight!! don't worry about the bed bugs kaoru won't let them bite.

today i realized that in no possible universe would sam and eileen would be a like. functional, has-their-shit-together kind of couple. sam hasn’t been in a serious LTR for 15 years, and we don’t know if eileen ever has. sam has effectively NEVER lived alone and eileen has effectively ALWAYS lived alone. even setting aside the hunter stuff they both have the relationship skills of a feral child raised by wolves. like i think they’ll make it work it’s just gonna look like what space aliens think human dating is like. can you even imagine them like applying for a mortgage or something? jesus

this ask is especially funny to me because i dont think im a particularly vocal saileen blog or anything. like thank u anon i agree & ur right, i just think its funny you picked me to share this with (and i appreciate it <3).

on this topic, i think that sam would mega overcompensate for his internalized misogyny by trying to cook and clean everything and eileen would let him because as you say she has lived alone her whole life and also most of that probably in motels so she's never cleaned a damn day. of course sam is terrible at it and has "how to unfuck your room" bookmarked on his laptop because he's a recovering marathon cleaner. dean cleans every time he goes to their house because they'll just have like, caramelized onions stuck to the wall behind their oven, and it gives him hives.

also i think eileen would go on solo hunts early in their relationship bc she wants to like, not be in the way or anything, and sam would be so melodramatic over it but again the aforementioned perception of internalized mahogany would make him nervous to bring it up. so he'd be like 'oh you can go on that hunt alone if you want to ... just like, i mean, personally, i would probably take like, i dunno, like a buddy or something' and eileen (because im projecting onto her) would be like 'oh no that's ok i don't wanna inconvenience you and also i'm incredibly badass and strong i can just tell you about my kills afterwards and you can be attracted to me' and sam would be like oh ok. sure.

dean of course thinks this is incomprehensible because a) he has never willingly let cas out of sight except to kick him out of the house (these are not contradictory actions in dean's mind) and b) his primary experience with sam is as his Bitchy Younger Bro so the idea of him being delicate makes zero sense to him. sam thinks it's hilarious that dean is trying to give him relationship advice so he refuses to tell dean about any of his relationship developments from then on.

also i think sam and eileen would approach sex the way me n my ex did, which is to say only about once every other month, generally as a joke, and often while watching supernatural. obviously i dont think sam and eileen would watch supernatural because it doesn't exist in their universe but we can insert the equivalent media. like torchwood. i think sam and eileen would make plans to have sex but it would always be through the premise of a torchwood watching date so their sex attempts would be pretty hit or miss depending on what mood the episode puts them in. eileen has a genuine crush on tosh but sam thinks the show's like just straight up bad, but he's ironically invested in it. obviously this is also a source of bonding between eileen and cas since cas has seen all of torchwood twice.

Hello! I really enjoy your blog and I was curious about your opinion of mega evolutions. Do you think mega evolution is harmful at all to the Pokemon undergoing these forms that seem purely for combat and then immediately shifting back after battle? Is there a recommended way to take care of pokemon post-mega evolution to help prevent or negate possible risks from using mega evolution on a pokemon?

This entierly depends on the pair in question. Personal experience and research shows that the process of mega evolving is exhausting for both parties, yes, but if you and the Pokemon are well bonded, it should pose no physical threat. A Pokemon too young or untrained cannot mega evolve, and doing so too early would cause both them and the trainer severe aches and pains, much like if you’d both run a marathon or done a thousand pushups. Chances are you’re bodies aren’t ready for the strain, but the damage is not permanent, nor is it usually long lasting. I advise trainers to mega-evolve with Pokemon they’ve known for 5+ years at the least, and certainly not to do this with a freshly evolved species, such as a charizard or Ampharos, they need at least a year in their new body to be able to comfortable handle the changes to come. anything less than that could lack the connection between you the trainer and your partner, and the achey aftermath will hit them and you hard. You both must be physically strong enough to take the strain. Pokemon will siphon off energy from us to power this unusual battle based evolution, so if you as a trainer cannot take a lot of strain on your body I’d advise not performing a mega evolution until you know you can handle it.

For practice, should you feel it’s time to give it a try, pack high energy snacks, plenty of fresh water, and don’t stray too far from areas where others can see you. Should both you and your Pokemon pass out due to a failed evolution, at least people can help you. Alternativly if you’re like me, and a little shy about training around others, you can have a spotter Pokemon, a third team mate that can watch over you and your mega-evo buddy should things go wrong.

It is the bond between you and your partner that can allow for this special evolution method, so the only preparation I could stress over is being their friend, being emotionally open to their needs, and supporting them. Not all Pokemon want to use mega powers, so talk about it together and see how they feel about it all, don’t want anyone becoming uncomfortable and doing stuff they’re not up for. Eat well, never do this training on an empty stomach, you will burn through calories, and hydrate! That’s it, that’s all there is to it. There’s no pre-training really, just a lot of trust and support between you and your partner.

Should the evolution be a success, then post-care would be simply resting, eating, maybe get some multi-vitamin gummy sweets for you and your buddy to have, top up your body. Don’t push it, most folks can roughly do 1 mega evolution stints a day, it’s very tiring. With training you can raise that number, but at the cost of energy, I’ve been at it for years, and can only muster about 4 evolutions in a 24 hour space of time, and only if I’m dealing with Pokemon I know very well. With enough work the process becomes less tiring, and you two will get on the same page for the evolution, becoming more and more synced up as the years go along.

I have only heard a few horror stories about mega evolution, and should you take heed of what I’ve said, the risk of them happening is so low I’d not even worry about it.an exciting prospect to mega evolution is that with a VERY strong bond, you and your Pokemon will sync so much, you can see their plan of attack, like a shared brainwave, and sometimes the Pokemon takes on odd physicalities of your own. For example if I mega evolve with my dear scizor, he will gain steely blue eyes like mine. This is minimal, I’ve heard stories of far more impressive transformations between life long partners.

I LOVE YOUR BLOG SO MUCH I see it every day hahah. I'm really curious, you talk a lot about the sex life (kink, they in bed, etc.) of BTS members based on the tarot (which is very interesting), but what would they be like in bed based on astrology?

time for my favorite thing, interpreting mars signs 😊 that placement approximates sexual expression the most, esp in a guy’s chart.

namjoon — MARS IN CANCER (trine saturn/jupiter/pluto, opposite uranus/neptune, square mercury, sextile sun): Expect softness. Namjoon adores crabs with good reason, they’re hard outside and tender within. Putting up a tough front will melt away pretty quickly. He looks for a hands-on domestic encounter that is hard for him to ask for, but rings so true to his character and habits. Cancer Mars is passive-aggressive, and Joon the epitome, he looks for sex in roundabout ways. He is shy, shy, shy.

hoseok — MARS IN AQUARIUS (square moon/jupiter): Expect the unexpected. Toys, webcams, photos: Hobi likes technology involved. He’s not the type to fuck mega often, nor is it primarily for bonding’s sake, rather, it’s going for experiments and a worthwhile time. sex will never be a chore. friends with benefits is a classic for this placement, i see it extremely pronounced in his chart. the moon square is emotional detachment, the jupiter square is sex outside marriage. so, fwb king right here.

seokjin — MARS IN CANCER (trine moon/pluto/mercury, opposite venus): Expect raw emotions. The kind you didn’t know where slumbering under a very confident and cozy surface. With the opposition to Venus, his love life is a back and forth: Dominating, submitting, calm sex, rough sex, harmonious relations, playfights. He tends towards any extreme. However, he handles the intensity well and makes it heard that he really fancies that kind of rollercoaster. Jin is good at setting limits. 

jungkook — MARS IN SCORPIO (sextile mercury, square jupiter/uranus): Expect passion. There are few people who can keep up with JK, the bed is no different. But unlike his Virgo sun’s perfectionism in day-to-day life, not, it gets more primal, breathtaking. He’s down for the depth and the heat and obsesses over his partner to the point of playing with fate. But he is adept to verbalize what he wants, “right there” is his favorite word to hear and say. Just like the sting of the scorpion, sex and pain belong together, he wants to get floored and milked dry.

taehyung — CAPRICORN (conjunct neptune/mercury/uranus, square moon): Expect ambition. Capricorn is a stern lover. In Tae’s case, that drive and seriousness comes with a dirty mouth and filthy imagination that makes your sexy dreams reality. It won’t be sex that makes you cry of joy, it’s sex that goes on and on until the two of you reached mastery. He’s both realistic and dreamy, Taehyung knows his limits but also tries to do something new each time. His sexts are the absolute bomb. 

jimin — MARS IN SCORPIO (conjunct pluto, sextile neptune/uranus, trine saturn): Expect him to blow your mind. Astrologically, Jimin is the master fucker in BTS who has the stamina and erotic play scenarios to destroy someone with several orgasms in a row. There will be no doubt about him being yours, and you being his. He is more than a handful, he is a cum-dripping force to be reckoned with. When nobody is watching, when the door is locked and nighttime sets in... he goes absolutely crazy. Sex vampire much.

yoongi — MARS IN CANCER (trine sun, square venus/jupiter, opposite neptune/uranus): Expect the domestic. Yoongi fucks according to mood and not in marathons, and the bed remains the best place. It has to be cozy, secure, protected. He’s a natural with that. So much domestic stuff, this screams mommy kink. The kitchen always turns into a spot for making out. Foods are aphrodisiacs. He is always in the moment and a skeptic of trends. He also has no problem with sloppy, chaotic sex that is far from poetic.

I just started my T’Challa Marathon beginning with his first appearance- Captain America Civil War. I Have a lot of opinions about this movie and I might live blog it while I watch it say my piece.

Let me start by saying I’ve seen this movie at least 10 times. It’s definitely need to see more than twice to really get it, and then I figured out I’m not sure it’s possible to get it. Let’s start with the very beginning, A very good place to start LOL, anyway so four of them including Wanda who they are training are in Lagos for some reason we can’t ascertain at first- there after some bad guys right? turns out the bad guy is Rumlow who we found out in the last movie is Hydra. 

So he’s become an extra bad guy because in winter soldier a building collapsed on him which of course he survives in order to become some rebuilt monster holding a grudge against Cap and blaming him. This is such a trope in superhero movies, the bad guy blames the good guy for the reason he’s the bad guy or the reason he’s scarred or rejected by society when really if the bad guy hadn’t been doing the bad things it would’ve never happened to him in the first place. for instance normal guy who owns a construction company becomes an evil megalomaniac mechanial bird because the government tells him he can’t clean up alien leftovers so he’s willing to kill a teenage boy in order to be able to do that and so that his family remains mega ultra rich? Is that really the motivation of the bad guy in that Spiderman movie?!? I mean come on..

Anyway back to CW: We never really get A full reason why Rumlow went Hydra but you can see that a man like him would be pissed because Cap keeps beating him in every way. He was about to blow up an entire market place when Wanda blocked it threw it up in the air and exploded in a building killing some other people.

So here comes the quandary, if the Avengers hadn’t have been there these bad guys would’ve stolen some biological weapon and used it to do whatever bad thing they were going to do with it, so that will no longer happen. The collateral damage is that some people were killed, Presumably a lot less number of people but innocent people all the same. But also and watching this movie multiple times you get the sense that Rumlow just wanted to lure Cap that place to kill him because he says “don’t wait for me I’m not meeting you” to his crew. If Wanda hadn’t have blocked him blowing up that grenade a lot more people would’ve died in that moment. So how can she or Cap be held responsible? 

TBC...

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D- Series 4, Episodes 1-6 (The Review)

So I finally got round to starting the next lot of my Marvel Movie and TV show marathon, with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Series 4 and the first 6 episodes. Sorry about the delay, I've got all of my uni deadlines soon, so I've been focusing on them, but nonetheless let's jump into the review!

The first six episodes of series 4 focus on Ghost Rider, a sort of antihero who is trying to avenge his disabled brother by locating the people who put him into a wheelchair. As well as that, the S.H.I.E.L.D team are trying to locate some ghosts who want to use dark matter for themselves, but hit a snag when it involves Eli, the uncle of the Ghost Rider.

In my personal opinion, I love these episodes as it sets up S.H.I.E.L.D for future seasons perfectly. We are also introduced to Director Mace who has a hatred, if you want to call it that, for inhumans and recruits Simmons into helping lead his inhumans science team. We end episode 6 with dark matter being shown and successfully created, but I won't say more than that.

Stay tuned for the next blog post which will be Doctor Strange, the next in our MCU mega challenge!

Your Resident Geek,

Sadie

This could be because we both just love tea😂 But also, tea is my favourite and I rarely go a day without it, just like I rarely go a day without talking to you and you're my closest friend on here

@tenw1n Laughter & Late Nights

You're always making me laugh, whether it's when we're talking, through your hashtags or the way you speak. You're sleep routine is often messy like mine too, so when I see your posts in the night / early morning, I realise we've both not yet sorted it out😂

@trashlord-007 Sugar & Oh Sehun

You're honestly the sweetest person I've came across on here and I have a major sweet tooth😉 Also Sehun because of that thing we had going on, now when I think of him I think of you too lmao

@cool-coolryu Flowers & Clique

I remember you sharing you loved flowers and you definitely give off that vibe. Also clique, not just because you're my Twenty One Pilots friend but because we're quite similar in some ways and we click? (I can do the puns too lmao)

@memeofthesoul Love

@infiresmaanyeah Autumn & Pretty Skies

Whether it's because I know Autumn is one of your favourite seasons and you take photos of the sky when it's pretty, you remind me of these. Your blog is very aesthetically pleasing too, maybe this is my way of telling you that you have a great aesthetic??

[monstersandmaw]

So the new year has finally arrived, and I thought I'd ask some reflective questions. How have you/your blog changed since the start of last year? And if you're up for it, what has changed for you since 2010?

I love asks like this!!! I’m always up for being asked things like this, so thank you so much!! :D

Ok, so... How has both my blog and my little ghostli self changed since the start of last year?

Well, last January I was recovering from two small but painful foot operations, I was mega-unfit (I hadn’t done any regular exercise in maybe a year and a half and was sitting at my desk for hours and hours at a time without moving around). I was at rock bottom fitness, and it sucked. I felt like I’d wasted an entire year of my life (and my joint life with Mr. Ghosti) because my depression had got way out of hand and I’d kind of stopped... living??? My entire focus became writing and Monsters&Maw, so in that respect, the blog kind of saved me, but I’d let a few real life friendships slip into nothingness, and I was at my absolute heaviest weight too, which didn’t help things at all. But! I managed to get prescribed antidepressants (which I was able to come off at the end of last year too, which was nice), and I learned a few strategies around that time to help manage my depression.

In May 2019 we went walking in Wales with friends of ours. One of them is a marathon runner, and the other does a lot of hiking with her, and Mr. Ghosti does taekwondo... and then there was me. We went up Mt. Snowdon by the Watkin Path, which is one of the trickier ones, and I was so unfit I thought I was going to die... We did 18 miles in total that day, and I was physically unable to walk beyond the house the next day. They were all terribly kind and patient on the ascent when I had to keep stopping, but I felt so shitty... A few months after that, I joined a fitness bootcamp thing during a heatwave and wondered if I was losing my few remaining marbles, but actually in the six months since I’ve been going, my fitness has returned. It’s not where it was when I was playing lacrosse or doing taekwondo 5 times a week and competing, but it’s so much better now. I haven’t shifted the pounds because I can’t seem to eat sensibly, but that’s a job for this year now that I’m fitter. One goal at a time and all that...

From a ‘professional writing’ point of view, I think I’ve developed my style a bit more, and I’ve worked out a bit more about what I’d like to do this year in terms of writing milestones and goals, which is a comfort (if intimidating because it’s all or nothing with me). I want to self-publish my mlm werewolf novel (currently set to start going up in chapters on Patreon in a while), and I want to finish off some other ideas that have been kicking around for a long time. Last year laid the foundation for that, and having Patreon and my own income from that, modest though it is, has been a huge confidence boost.

Monsters & Maw, The Blog(tm), has had a colour change from black to green, and I’ve posted significantly fewer stories/less regularly, but I’ve hit a big follower milestone, which was honestly humbling beyond belief. I’ve learned so much from other people too, and that’s been a real gift.

As for ‘what’s changed since 2010′, well...

In 2010 I was in my first year of university (shit, that makes me feel old), I had undiagnosed depression that was ruining my life, I was on the wrong degree course, I was achingly lonely, out of control, and had no idea what I was going to do with myself when I finished uni (which is fine, in theory, but it scared me shitless at the time). I changed courses two years later (which wasn’t all that much better, but still), started going out with Mr. Ghosti in 2012 after being friends for two years or so), just scraped a 2.1 in 2013, and worked in a relatively well-known musuem for a while before deciding I wanted to do metalwork conservation. Got full bursary funding for the tuition (otherwise that wouldn’t have been possible) and headed off to do my masters, which I handed in in 2016, a week before I got married...!

I’ve had jobs I hated, jobs that were so stressful I made myself really very sick, applied for more jobs than I thought even existed, knowing that I didn’t want to do any of them but that I probably should apply anyway, got rejected by all of them, before finally finally telling myself (and my supportive yet sometimes extremely pushy family) that I’m going to be a successful writer. I’m 29 years old, and I’m going to publish something - be it self-publishing or with an agent and a publishing house - before I’m thirty. It’s not too late at/after 30, I know, but I’d like to feel like I’ve achieved that before then. I have until October.

So... in short...?

I feel like I’ve grown as a writer and as a person, definitely since 2010 and also since the start of 2019. I’ve changed, made mistakes, been hurt, lost loved ones, been humbled, made new connections, been desperately sad and also unfathomably happy at times, travelled, learned, got back up again, and have come out of all of that with a strange kind of ‘slightly cynical optimism’ if that’s not too much of a contradiction in terms...

Thanks for asking this, and for making me think about the last decade!! :)
