San Francisco in 3 Days: The Ultimate Travel Guide 🇺🇸

Date of Visit: January 2010 San Francisco, one of the most iconic cities in the United States, offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, rich history, and vibrant culture. With its rolling hills, stunning waterfront views, and eclectic neighborhoods, it’s a city that welcomes both history buffs and modern explorers. If you only have three days to visit this remarkable city, don’t worry—you’ll…

[random2908]

There's a Mission-style Mexican restaurant right on my block, owned by a guy who likes to memorize everyone's orders and his mom who only speaks Spanish. It costs the exact same price (about $11) to get a veggie burrito with guacamole there as it does at Chipotle. (If you aren't familiar with burrito styles, Chipotle is also Mission-style, so this is a very direct comparison.) It costs barely more, in fact, to get a veggie burrito with guac there than it does to get two items (which is actually less food, in addition to being MUCH lower-quality ingredients) at Taco Bell. The choice seems obvious. (Admittedly, for me, a veggie burrito at this local shop--or at Chipotle--is a big meal, not an everyday meal. Two items from Taco Bell is more of a normal-sized meal. I had one of these veggie burritos for lunch today, and it was so good I ate the whole thing, and then I had a stomach ache later in the day from overeating and had to postpone dinner.)

When I started grad school--and was living off a stipend that was equivalent to having a full time job that paid $10.50/hour so I was really paying close attention to ingredient costs--Taco Bell barely cost more than home cooking. I could cook a good meal for about $1-1.50, and a full meal at Taco Bell was like $3. Taco Bell used to be way cheap.

By the way, rant time, because I kind of hate Subway. The era I'm talking about was before Subway's $5 foot-long sandwiches, since people above are using that as a baseline; I think a foot-long at Subway was actually like $6-7 at that time. Outside of the $5 foot-long deal, Subway was never cheap. (And anyway, the veggie patty sandwich--the only sandwich I like there, and available at fewer and fewer locations--was never included in the $5 foot-long deal, so I think during the $5 foot-long era, getting a veggie patty foot-long was like $7-8.) The veggie delite[sic] sandwich, which was included in the $5 foot-long deal, was just bread and veggies with a tiny bit of cheese so that's a non-starter as a meal. I could--at the time--get a full baguette at the grocery store for like $1 and a bag of salad for another $1, and have more food, but it's not nutritionally balanced in any useful way. Also, the deli across the street from my grad school campus at that time had this giant cheddar, raw spinach, and tomato sandwich for $5. That was cheaper than Subway, for less bread, a ton more protein, and a similar amount of veggies--way more filling as a meal. At the time, I also would have expected a grilled cheese and fries at a diner to be about $5. Now, that deli sandwich in the Midwest is $10 (I just checked), a grilled cheese + fries + soup at the mom-and-pop diner closest to my house in the Bay is $11 (sometimes listed as one of the top-10 most expensive metro areas in the entire world), and a Subway foot-long veggie delite[sic] is $12. So Subway was always, and continues to be, more expensive than mom-and-pop sandwich shops.

I dunno man. I found out today that a subway sandwich is $14 now. A shitty subway footlong sandwich that isn't actually 12 inches long and is occasionally made with expired ingredients and was never a great option to start with. I ate those in high school because I was broke and at the mall a lot.

There are poke bowls in my city from a local place for $16. Super fresh fish and veg, warm rice, more than I can eat in one sitting, for the price of a sandwich and a drink at america's most mid-tier sandwich shop.

Someone in another post said (paraphrased) you used to be able to get something mediocre for cheap, but now the mediocre things cost as much as the nice things so why would you?

Hashira reacting to your affection

How will the hashira reaction to your affections?

Pairing: Sanemi, Kyojuro, Gyomei, Giyu x fem!reader

Types of affection included: kisses, hugs and cuddles, affectionate biting/nibbles, compliments

Note: I wrote this over the past few days and is by far the longest fic I’ve ever written! Enjoy!

Here’s the Upper Moons + Muzan version

Sanemi Shinazugawa

Kisses: 8/10

Sanemi grumbles when you don’t kiss him on his lips. He needs at least one kiss on his lips every morning after waking up, and a kiss on the lips when making his way to the next mission. Intimate and long kisses are his favourite, especially when he’s holding you in his arms, making out with you in the dark of your bedroom. It makes him feel very loved and secure like that.

Cheek kisses are alright, Sanemi doesn’t mind them. Quick pecks here and there make him grin slightly, but he prefers it when you kiss him properly.

Forehead kisses make him feel like a child. It’s not a good feeling for him since it reminds him how much he’s missing his mother. When you kiss him on the forehead, Sanemi would grimace, but not push you away.

Neck kisses make him shudder and blush, especially when you sneak up behind him and surprise him with them. He’d gasp and turn his head to you, asking what’s your problem. You just don’t know how sensitive his neck actually is, and the goosebumps you’re causing (and perhaps cause something to stiffen in his pants). But in return, Sanemi loves making you squirm under him while he kisses your neck, nibbling down here and there. Besides classic lip kisses, neck kisses are his favourite as well. Only if he’s not the one receiving them.

“Hey, you missed. Come kiss me properly.”

Hugs and cuddles: 9/10

Sanemi loves holding you for hours at a time. Cuddles are his absolute favourite activity to do with you, just holding you and caressing your back. Sometimes he’ll just lay there, caressing your face with his calloused fingers and admiring you and your sleeping beauty.

Hugs in general are nothing too special for him. He doesn’t really like initiating them since that’ll make him look desperate (according to him). But sometimes, Sanemi would lay in your bed and open up his arms for you to join him. If you do, you just fell into his trap. He would wrap the blanket around you and roll you in with him, forming a blanket burrito. Now, you’re forced to cuddle him until either of you has to go to the bathroom.

“No, you can’t leave. I don’t care if ya have plans, I’m your plans now.”

Affectionate biting/nibbling: 6/10

It confuses him. Is it a joke? Are you challenging him? Or just trying to annoy him? Sanemi doesn’t mind, even if you bite down hard, since he is pretty pain tolerant. He will flinch or yelp quietly when you nibble on his hand or shoulder out of nowhere but if you do it during cuddles, Sanemi will just eye you, quietly judging… He grumbles when you leave a hickey on him. It makes him embarrassed if he can’t cover it up. Surely the other hashira are going to tease him every day until it faded… and probably even longer.

As mentioned before, Sanemi will nibble on your neck during steamy make-out sessions. He likes leaving hickeys on your collarbone and neck and in other obvious spots, obviously marking you as his.

“Hey, stop biting or I’ll bite back. I mean it.”

Compliments: 6/10

Compliments about his appearance make him feel proud of himself. Sanemi will brush you off and hide his blushing face, but on the inside, he’ll feel more confident and prideful. Pointing out how cool his scars look will make him less insecure about them. As long as you like them, Sanemi thinks.

Complimenting his skill as a hashira and his breathing style will make him flustered. Now everytime Sanemi uses a breathing technique, the only thing he can think about is how pretty you found the visuals. They aren’t supposed to be pretty, they’re supposed to be intimidating, damn it!

“Tch. I ain’t cute... and I’m not fucking blushing!”

Kyojuro Rengoku

Kisses: 8/10

Regular kisses make Kyojuro blush just a little. Your soft lips on his feel like heaven to him, the way you cup his cheeks and pull him closer… He’ll return the kiss with extreme enthusiasm, making sure to either pull you a little closer and pour his love and passion for you into that act, or to place multiple pecks on your lips. Kyojuro just cant get enough!

Cheek kisses make him smile brightly and return the favour as well. After you finished kissing him, he’d place a hand on the area where you kissed him, feeling the lingering affection. Kyojuro feels like cheek kissed are convenient, meaning that whatever you are doing, he’ll find a way to steal your attention for just a moment by kissing your cheek randomly.

Forehead kisses feel intimidate and protective. Kyojuro would close his eyes and feel your lips on his forehead. In return, he also likes giving you forehead pecks. He’d cup your cheeks and tilt your head downwards for him, then place a warm and affectionate kiss on your skin.

Neck kisses make Kyojuro squirm. A lot. He doesn’t really like getting them. He jumps everytime he feels your breath on his neck… please don’t do this to him, his neck is just too sensitive and ticklish! Kissing your neck makes him nervous, so he’ll grow flustered everytime he does it.

“May I have another kiss? You forgot my other cheek!”

Hugs and cuddles: 9/10

Kyojuro loves, loves, LOVES cuddling you! He doesn’t care if he is sweating or you’re sweating, cuddling together with you is one of his most favourite things in the whole world. He adores holding you against his chest and taking in the feeling of feeling your skin against his. Sometimes, when you’re asleep, Kyojuro will just stare at your beautiful face. He’ll smile at himself and admire your beauty and think about how lucky he is. Kyojuro also likes warming you up with his warm body, especially in the winters. He’d pull you even closer and make sure that you two are properly wrapped in a blanket together and huddled up in the warmth.

He also adores giving out big bear hugs. Kyojuro would pick you up and spin you up in the air, holding you by your waist and just twirling him around. He’ll do that in public, in front of Shinjuro and Senjuro, in private and whenever he wants! Kyojuro loves you dearly and will demonstrate it everywhere! Even if it’s childish at times.

“Father look! I can lift her well above my head!”

“Put that poor woman down, you’re gonna drop her.”

Affectionate biting/nibbling: 8/10

Kyojuro doesn’t mind your random biting or nibbling. He probably does it himself! When you two cuddle together or simply make out a little, Kyojuro might switch over to kissing the top of your hand, nibbling down on it a little. He also likes nuzzling into your neck, biting down gently. He might even leave a little hickey here and there. Whenever you nibble or bite down onto his skin, he will laugh loudly and place a kiss onto your cheek.

“Do I taste good? I hope so!

Compliments: 7/10

Calling him handsome brightens his day almost as much you kissing his cheek. They make him grin and feel proud. He’ll push his chest out a little and blush, thanking you loudly for your kind words. Also, Kyojuro loves to compliment you. He is your biggest cheerleader and will support you with his words and actions however he can. If you’re feeling down, he’ll make sure to cheer you right back up with encouraging and kind words

“Thank you, my flame! Your words warm my heart!”

Gyomei Himejima

Kisses: 8/10

Kissing Gyomei anywhere proves to be quite a challenge. You can’t really reach his face without having him to kneel or sit down, therefor the only chance you have to kiss him is early in the mornings when you two lay together in bed. That’s where Gyomei is the cutsest, all sleepy and sluggish. His voice will be even deeper and raspier and his hair is messed up. In those early morning hours, you have the best opportunity to give him kisses.

Forehead kisses are his favourite since that is the area you can never reach him normally. He connects those kisses with the times you two lay in bed and hold each other and the times you smother him in affection.

Cheek kisses are feel nice, but aren’t his favourite. He likes to return the favour though and kiss you on your cheek. Gyomei especially finds it adorable when you ask him to lean down in order to kiss him. It makes him cry a little everytime.

Regular kisses are nice. He likes it when you ask him to lean down, cup his cheeks and kiss him on the lips. It does taste a little salty though, given how Gyomei starts crying when kissing you sometimes.

“Apologies for my tears, dear pearl. May I have another kiss?”

Hugs and cuddles: 9/10

Gyomei adores holding you close to his larger body. He likes being the big spoon, but his favourite position would be holding you while his head is nuzzling against your soft chest. That way, you can run your fingers through his hair and trace the muscles on his back. He loves the warmth you give him. Gyomei’s absolutely loves running his large palm over your body, tracing your features. His hand will linger on your waist and rub you up an down, then it will travel downwards to your buttocks (if you let him) and caress your backside a little, then it would go down to your thighs and gently squeeze you here and there.

Gyomei likes hugs a lot. Your hugs are cute to him and how you’re trying to wrap your arms around his whole waist. He will lean down slightly and hug you back, mumbling quiet affectionate words to you. Gyomei is the best hug giver.

“Your body is my temple. I’d like to worship you more, if you let me.”

Affectionate biting/nibbling: 7/10

When you nibble on his shoulder like that, your behaviour reminds him of a feisty cat. It’s adorable and Gyomei will let you to as you like. As a way to tease you a little, he may pat your head the same way he would pet a cat. Gyomei won’t do it in return. He doesn’t always give out hickeys, but he doesn’t mind having them. Knowing that you left a mark on him for everyone to see makes him smile sightly.

“What do you require? Would you like me to pet you?”

Compliments: 8/10

Gyomei starts crying when you praise him. He’ll thank you and compliment you as well, trying to please you. He doesn’t always know what exactly to compliment, given that he is blind, so he sometimes compliments something very random about you. Hearing you giggle after Gyomei points out that your hairstyle _feels_ different but better than yesterday makes him cry and smile at the same time. Your laugh is the sweetest melody to him.

Gyomei appreciates your praises and compliments and the encourage him to keep training.

“Your skin feels so soft, my beloved.”

Giyu Tomioka

Kisses: 7/10

Giyu tenses up everytime you surprise him with kisses. It’s not like he doesn’t like them, he’s just not used to get affection like that. But when you two are hanging out in private, maybe even making out, he’ll blush and return your kisses with eagerness. Your lips on his feel like heaven to him, or as close as he can get there.

Regular kisses on his lips make him blush brightly but he’ll eagerly try to reincorporate your affections by kissing you a well. Giyu isn’t very good at kissing though, but practise makes perfect! The more you kiss him, the better he’ll get.

Cheek kisses are one of his favourites. They don’t make him as flustered and they’re convenient. Giyu can just lean in and give you a quick peck on your cheek and remind you that he loves you lots. Sometimes, when you two sleep together in the same bed, Giyu’ll kiss your face all over.

Forehead kisses make him feel oddly secure and loved. When you cup his cheeks like that and lean in, kissing his forehead and playing with his hair a little. It makes his knees feel weak when you do that.

Neck kisses make him tense and flustered, especially when you sneak up on him. Giyu would let whimper your name and try to shoo you away, but give up after a while. He’ll try to stop himself from moaning…

“D-Don’t sneak up on me like that again. Ah…”

Hugs and cuddles: 8/10

Giyu likes cuddling you. It makes him feel safe and secure when you hold him in your arms like that. His favourite position is being the little spoon and you big spooning him, running your fingers through his black hair. Being held makes him feel incredibly relaxed and secure, being loved like this. His doubts about your relationships and insecurities vaporise for just a moment. He also loves to lay his head on your chest. In his opinion, that’s the best way someone could sleep at night. Giyu probably won’t initiate the cuddles himself, thinking you would just say yes to please him, but once you initiate the cuddles, he’ll happily oblige.

Hugs are a little complicated for him. He grows incredibly tense when you hug him in public. Giyu doesn’t really know what to do with his arms or hands, where to look or how to properly and respectfully breathe around you. He really is scared of making you uncomfortable or do something you might dislike. You’ll need to tell him that you’re perfectly comfortable with him hugging you back and hugging you at all. He can handle hugs in private a little better.

“Mh.. can we cuddle a little longer? I’m… still tired.”

Affectionate biting/nibbling: 3/10

Giyu will just eye you judgmentally. Why are you doing that? It hurts.

“Ouch… why did you do that?”

Compliments: 8/10

You make him feel better about himself when you compliment him. As an acknowledgement of your words, he’d nod his head and smile slightly. Sometimes Giyu has a hard tome believing your words, but by you insisting on them being true, he began accepting them more and more.

Giyu will try to give you a lot of compliments back, but they sometimes come out a little dry and not the way he planned on making them sound.

“You did well today. I appreciate your presence.”

I love your Hwang brothers fics, I sobbed so hard reading funeral pyre and I was wondering if you have any headcanons about the Hwang brothers growing up 🫶 (I want them to be happy so much)

Thank you very much ♡

*Apologize if it’s not all fluff and happy. I could not help myself. There might be more from me in the future where they got to truly be happy together.

When his step mom was pregnant, In-ho was a little unsure about having a baby brother. Maybe, very deep down, a part of him was worried his dad would replace him with the new kid and he’d be “left behind”.

He, of course, kept his worries to himself.

However, the first time he met and held baby Jun-ho, all wrapped up burrito style in a blanket, baby Jun-ho wrapped his tiny, tiny hand around In-ho’s finger, and In-ho knew from that moment that this was his baby brother, his blood, he loved him and he would do anything to protect him.

After their father’s untimely demise, In-ho became both a brother and a father figure to Jun-ho.

He loved Jun-ho unconditionally, that was a fact, but he was only a young man who was forced to become the man of the house when he was nowhere near ready, after his father left. The ‘taking care of his step mom’ and ‘being a father figure to his baby brother’ could very understandably be overwhelming, even for In-ho. And Jun-ho just… would not stop following him around when In-ho needed some alone time.

In-ho didn’t mean to snap and raise his voice at Jun-ho.

He was only aware of what he’d done after Jun-ho ran away from him, crying.

Guilt was fast to swallow him whole.

He tried approaching Jun-ho, who was hiding under the bed, tried softly coaxing him to come out in a gentle voice and saying that he was sorry and that he didn’t mean to raise his voice.

It took a while, but in the end Jun-ho crawled out from under the bed and into In-ho’s arms.

In-ho knew, from that moment, he hated seeing Jun-ho cry. Hated seeing Jun-ho upset and in pain. It pained him to see his brother in pain.

That’s why In-ho didn’t hesitate to say he’d give Jun-ho his kidney when Jun-ho got sick.

The doctors and his own step mother explained to him the risk of the surgery and what a “big deal” donating an organ to someone was. They asked if In-ho was absolutely sure. But In-ho knew the risk. And he knew that he didn’t care about his own life or health. As long as Jun-ho was okay. Jun-ho had to be okay.

The surgeries went well, both for himself and for Jun-ho.

A part of him got to be with his brother forever, and a part of In-ho could not help feeling that glimpse of pride somewhere in his chest.

Also he got to use the “I gave you my kidney” card to make Jun-ho listen to him every time he was teaching Jun-ho Jun-ho’s homework (that Jun-ho did not want to do) or trying to make Jun-ho study for his upcoming exam.

Jun-ho’s first heartbreak? It was In-ho’s shoulder he cried on.

Jun-ho’s first screwup? It was In-ho who got him out of the trouble.

And when Jun-ho came up to him one day and said “I’m gonna be a police — a good police — just like you, hyung,” In-ho had never been more proud.

When In-ho lost his wife and child, he thought he lost everything. But then Jun-ho was there, and In-ho realized: no, he hadn’t lost everything.

If there was the one thing that made In-ho doubt his own decision to return to the game as the Front Man, it was Jun-ho.

In the end, In-ho did what he thought was right for him. Abandoning Jun-ho hurt as much as losing his wife and child, but In-ho did what he had to do.

When he knew it was his own brother infiltrating the island, that fear he felt when his wife was dying came back, because now Jun-ho — the idiot, In-ho’s idiot — might get himself killed. Why couldn’t Jun-ho just accept that In-ho was gone?

But deep down, In-ho knew his brother was never a quitter.

The mission was more about finding, saving Jun-ho and getting him as far away from the island as possible (for Jun-ho’s own safety) than it was about finding the intruder and defending the game.

In-ho knew, when he held out his hand for Jun-ho on the cliff, Jun-ho would not take it. Jun-ho was too noble for that. Still something in In-ho’s chest ached when Jun-ho refused his hand. That sentimental part inside In-ho still wished Jun-ho would take his hand. It’s me, your brother, I’m still me.

It was either In-ho pulling the trigger or the Soldiers killing Jun-ho. So In-ho did the one thing he could do that could still save Jun-ho’s life. A bullet to the shoulder was nonfatal. He called Captain Park and orchestrated a rescue mission as soon as he could.

Once Jun-ho was rescued and sent to a hospital, In-ho had his men keep tabs on Jun-ho and report directly to him daily ever since.

So far, Jun-ho had been staying away from the island (In-ho had made sure of that). Good. This was for Jun-ho’s own safety.

Jun-ho could think that In-ho betrayed him (in a way, In-ho did), Jun-ho could hate him now, and that was… that was fine.

In-ho would rather Jun-ho hate him if it meant he got to protect and keep Jun-ho safe. Even from afar.

For those of you who are new here, you can find my fic about In-ho and Jun-ho here

Funeral Pyre (A Hwang Bros fic) on Archive of Our Own

[annoyinglandmagazine]

So I did Classical Studies in secondary school which was a fairly obscure subject, there were only nine of us in the class and we were all super into it.

Just for context here I’m talking about the class I was in from first to third year, between the ages of 13 and 16 for people with different education systems. We read the Iliad as part of course and it was really dense and when I tell you none of us could hear the word simile today without flashbacks to notating pages after pages of Homer comparing the way people walked to lions……

Anyway, it was a nightmare to read but we loved it.

We came out of those three years having forgotten most of the history of the Roman Empire but we all knew that Paris was a little bitch good for nothing but his looks, Achilles and Patroclus were definitely gay, Achilles was also a little bitch but we love him for it, Hector and Andromache deserved better and, most importantly, Agamemnon was a complete and utter douchebag who deserved everything he got and Clytemnestra was absolutely right to stab him to death in a bathtub, seriously fuck that guy.

We were so invested in this subject that we finished the curriculum early two years in a row and each year our teacher decided that we could put on a play related to the subject to fill out the last two months or so.

Naturally we settled on Troy Story 1 and Troy Story 2 detailing the Birth of Paris through to Achilles returning Hector’s body to Priam in two 40 minute instalments.

Absolutely no one of the forty people who wandered in by accident to witness our work of art understood a single second of what was going on or why we were all restrained laughter at what was basically eighty minutes of obscure classics in jokes. It was glorious. I recently found the script and I wanted to share the chaos.

Highlights included:

Jesse’s Girl playing over Helen and Paris’ introduction while she’s married to Menelaus.

So much unnecessary use of the word bro. Just so much.

Zeus and Hera narrating while passive aggressively bickering for every second of it. The gods constantly saying ‘do you want to get involved in some human drama’ to rope each other in

The extreme dramatic build up to the use of the word dog

Agamemnon speaks like a frat boy the whole time, like the biggest douche ever.

Achilles lifting Hectors body and dragging it around in slo mo while we are the champions plays

Achilles watching the war from his blanket burrito while eating popcorn out of his helmet

The shepherd who found Paris on a mountainside holding him up while the Lion King music played over it

Achilles’ trashy blonde wig. I cannot stress enough how trashy and blonde this wig was. Also Achilles was deliberately cast as the shortest girl in the class (5’ 3).

Odysseus and Diomedes night mission had mission impossible music playing over it as we parkoured across the stage and peaked out behind curtains. They also have dialogue in which they constantly want to stab something

Paris never appears in the sequel but is dissed constantly

We couldn’t do any actual Patrochilles cause Catholic school but we settled for prolonged eye contact to My Heart Will Go On and long pauses after dramatic references to My Closest Companion

Achilles: I need my best bro friend! My life soulmate! My favourite cook!

Achilles in the tent with headphones on listening to All By Myself with mascara streaming down his face after Patroclus died

The facts that Agamemnon killed his daughter and Zeus and Hera are siblings is constantly just kind of dropped in with no context

Everyone’s costumes were mostly just lab coats tied over our shoulders with shared armour from the one girl that apparently had a closet full of Ancient Greek style plastic swords, helmets and breastplates.

We spent an entire class making a giant pink tv frame out of cardboard, paper and way too much sellotape for one joke that wasn’t even that funny. We named it Daniel.

Briseis was an American Girl doll.

The gods yelling at each other to try and pick teams and resulting in a slap fight with an announcement that it lasted 3 hours.

Thetis yelling encouragement from the side lines and calling Achilles her little crib lizard for some reason also she’s reading Song of Achilles in one of her scenes

Hi! I don't see a masterlist so idk if you've done this before. Can you pls do König HCs? Can be fluff and/ smut. Thanks!!

((i just made a masterlist! thank you <3))

how  i see konig with a  - petite!fem

Always has a hand around you whether that be around your waist gripping ever so slightly, or pressed against the small of your back rubbing softly up and down when you guys are walking, sometimes he’ll have a hand planted on your ass, especially if he knows people are looking

He knows his presence scares away any male trying to make a move on you, for instance, you two went on a date for the first time in awhile since he had just gotten back from his long mission, it was a fancy date night, you wore a tight fitted red dress with a slit up to about upper thigh, and he wore your average black tux but with a balaclava on to mask his identity.

He went off to the restroom leaving you at your table, you sipped at your wine as a male approached you, making cocky remarks on how he wouldn't leave you like konig would, and after a few moments of the uncomfortable flirting konig stood behind the man, towering over him and you made eye contact with konig, which made the man turn around

The man was quick to apologize and walk away cowering in fear as konig sat down across from you. “so sorry engel…im here to protect you always..” he reached across the table and held your hand brushing his thumb over your knuckles and making it known he was here

When it came to the waiter ordering food he ordered what you wanted for you, he was aware you didn't prefer public speaking so he always took care of that.

Konig always made it known you were his, pictures littered his social media of his large hand wrapped around your jaw, waist, and neck and placed upon your thigh just to show everyone who saw it, who you belonged to

When going to bed he mumbles how your his and how he could never ever possibly lose you, he always took care of you, made sure you were safe and rarely out of sight, occasionally he peeks his head into the bathroom making sure you're okay in the shower.

whenever it snows konig makes sure you look like a burrito before going anywhere, he shovels a path just for you so your feet don't get freezing cold, he makes sure to immediately take you to starbucks or dunkin, ordering you your favorite hot drink so you can stay warm, he even keeps blankets in his car for when your cold.

In your closet in your shared apartment he only keeps hoodies in it because he lets you have the closest to yourself, he's aware how much space you like for your clothes so he keeps his clothing in a dresser, since his style is simplistic and he has a lot less clothing he found it pointless to store his clothes in there (he knows how much you LOVE his hoodies)

He pays for EVERY MEAL and refuses to have you pay for anything, you don't even need a job it wouldn't matter to him because he can and promises to always be there to take care of you because it's what you've always deserved

When he's not home and on missions he gets gifts delivered to your shared apartment CONSTANTLY flowers,chocolate,doordash, anything you like he makes sure it shows up on that doorstep with a little letter full of his sweet words, and sloppy handwriting that you can't help but love.

When it comes to sex he isn't submissive…ever he kills, he's a killing machine with a cold persona and a grueling background, and he sees you in the moment of heat as his toy, his plaything

Now granted he has his softness!dom moments, he will take care of you, he will give you release every time but not if you tell him to.

If you get demanding, or pushy he'll deny every orgasm until you are almost limp.

[rebel-hunk-enjoyer]

i love this stuff, three questions for the kalluzeb meme:

Who hogs the covers?

Who is more competitive?

What are they like when they're drunk? How do they act together? & when 1 is drunk, while the other one's sober?

Oooo, I love these questions! Thank you so much for the ask! ☺️

1. Who hogs the covers?

Absolutely Kallus and Zeb doesn't even begrudge him that because look at him! Yeah, he's furry for a human but he doesn't have enough fur to keep him warm and isn't that kind of sad?

This doesn't come up until after Yavin, though, because Yavin was way too hot and sticky and humid for either of them to care about covers. But once they're in space together? Boom, hogs the covers. Nightly. Makes a cape out of the covers in the morning to go put the caf on, like an absolute lunatic.

It gets worse on Hoth, though, because Kallus starts burying himself in Zeb's armpit after turning himself into a blanket burrito and, damn it, Zeb is actually cold on Hoth and wants to share the blanket, so then they compromise by adding another blanket, but Kallus starts trying to hog that one, too.

(Kallus walks into the command center one day with a "Hi, My Name Is _____" sticker slapped on his parka. Hi, My Name Is Alexsandr Kallus and I'm a shameless blanket hog. He lost a bet somehow.)

2. Who is more competitive?

Both of them are so competitive that they are competing at all times to see who is more competitive.

At first everyone else is in on keeping score (mostly because they're rooting for Zeb when Kallus is still freshly defected, it's the nicest way to do something with their lingering feelings of wanting Kallus to lose), but then it becomes obvious to everyone that Zeb and Kallus are playing by some kind of Whose Line style scoring metrics where the points don't actually matter. It's all just competitive vibes and, to everyone's growing horror, flirting? Is this how they're flirting?

It is.

Sparring matches, dejarik and sabacc games and who can get the highest score in some snake-adjacent video game on Kallus' datapad. Then it's imps taken out when they're on a mission, number of successful missions, how many times they've each taken a blaster bolt, amount of bones broken, trips to the bacta tank, just truly insane stuff.

And they never want to compete with anyone else, obviously, because they're literally flirting with this, but sometimes someone new will try to get in on the fun and then their competition becomes who can help the other absolutely obliterate this third competitor in whatever the competition happens to be. Oh, they think they can take down more Imps this mission? No, Zeb is counting every other one of his for Kallus and Kallus just sent a whole squad in Zeb's direction because he can handle it easily.

3. What are they like when they're drunk? How do they act together? & when 1 is drunk, while the other one's sober?

I think they absolutely go into 'getting a drink' together with normal expectations the first time they do. Except it's probably absolutely awful hooch from a secret still in some secluded part of the Great Temple on Yavin and neither of them are expecting it to be that strong, so before they realize what's going on they're both three sheets to the wind and Zeb is talking about how much he likes Kallus' spots and Kallus has no idea that Zeb is talking about his freckles and is preparing to get defensive until Zeb touches his face to indicate what he means. 🥰🥰

But also I think (newly defected on Yavin) Kallus would drink more in the Rebellion than he did in the Empire, just by virtue of feeling safer to do so - to let his guard down, to be intoxicated and a little vulnerable - especially around Zeb. Because Zeb has already seen him vulnerable in other ways and he trusts Zeb implicitly. And I think he might use drinking, sometimes, as an excuse to be more physical than he's comfortable being sober when he's first getting used to things in the Rebellion. He comes in having, idk, not shaken someone's hand without gloves for a decade or more and doesn't know what to do with himself and how very, very badly he wants to engage in the casually physical nature of beings who aren't repressed into Imperial conformity. So when he's drunk he sits closer to Zeb, rests his head on Zeb's shoulder, maybe even nuzzles a little.

Zeb holds his horrible bathtub hooch a little better after that first time, just by virtue of his species and the nature of human-made moonshine and not drinking as much, and lets Kallus be vulnerable and explore the new territory of physicality and is surprised when Kallus just wants to ... well, cuddle? He makes sure Kallus has water and gets Kallus back to his bunk to sleep it off, then shows up with caf and something for Kallus' hangover the next morning.

I imagine the inverse happens on Lira San where there's plentiful alcohol distilled with lasat metabolism in mind and lots of community events - parties and holidays and celebrations of seasons - to partake in and Zeb doesn't realize that he's doing exactly what Kallus had been doing all those years back when he allows himself to let go and have fun. Because he feels safe, not just with Kallus but on Lira San and surrounded by his people. He gets a little sappy with it on the walk home, then really emotional about it when they go to bed, and Kallus holds him and lets him cry it out until Zeb finally falls asleep, then stays up all night, himself, feeling various degrees of devastation for the role he played in Lasan that eventually led them both there.

hi love, just had to share this adorable thought 🥰 just imagine beefy!bucky protecting you like this, unable to let you out of his sight, and he has to be touching you at all times🤭😅

you: “it’s okay buck, i’ll be right back.”

him: “no.”

you: “i have to pee…”

him: “no.”

BABEE, you always give me the best ideas 😭😫 thank you for giving me the urge for my writing to flow so gooddd. I think you may like this one 👀

maybe it could be our beefy lumberjack!Bucky, it’s been a long day at the wood yard for him. He’s missed his baby and all he’s wanted to do since leaving you in the bed this morning, is have you right back in his arms.

Maybe you’re cooking dinner for the two of you when the signature tell of the door slamming shut alerts you that your man is finally home, boots thundering against the floor from his pure muscle and weight as he makes his way towards the kitchen.

“Hi baby! I’m just cooking dinner, it won’t be too long for you.”

But Bucky doesn’t care about that right now. All he is concerned with is scooping you up and bundling you up together into your nightly burrito and making sure you can’t escape his hold.

And that’s exactly what he does.

It’s a miracle you don’t manage to burn yourself as your legs are suddenly swept from under you, finding yourself in your beefy man’s huge arms bridal style as his thick thighs carry you towards your room.

“BUCKY! What are you doing?! Put me down!”

The cheeky shit just stays silent, too focused on his mission of having you all to himself as he kicks open the bedroom door. How he’s able to kick off his boots, shed his jeans and take off his coat all whilst still holding you is a mystery to you.

Also kinda hot too.

Plopping down into the middle of your king size bed together, Bucky settles himself back against the pillow of the headboard, rearranging you to sit between his legs, right where you belong.

His bear like form dominates over you as he crosses his arms over your chest, it’s like his arms are the tree trunks he cuts down at work. But his gentle and delicate hold on you as he places his palms on your cheeks, bringing you into his embrace and rubbing your silk-smooth skin almost makes you tear up.

The way this man is so large in size and yet still treats you like a fragile flower blows your mind, but you wouldn’t want it any other way.

He knows how to ruin you when the time suits him anyway.

Peaceful. Life with your lumberjack never failed to surprise you and bring you so much joy. And you wouldn’t want to be anywhere other than where you are at the minute.

He was home.

Cuddling with him for over half an hour, the quiet between you comforting and not at all awkward, your bum starts to go numb.

His constant touches and hums of content into your skin are the most rewarding, no doubt about that.

But a girl had to use the toilet sometime.

Trying to shuffle out of his hold, each attempt has Bucky clinging to you tighter, like he’s personally offended you want to get out of the burrito huddle he so generously placed you into.

“It’s okay Buck, I’ll be right back.”

Your reassurance doesn’t matter to him though, the pout on his face adorable and so hard not to give into as he speaks his first words of the night.

“No.”

This mountain of a man is actually the most childlike person you’ve ever known.

“I have to pee, though…”

And of course, your big teddy bear looks you dead in the eyes and speaks once more.

“No.”

Guess you’re staying put as you are for the rest of the night.

After a good run of kinky Super Bowls, Mistress Aspyce has ordered a 100% vanilla Super Bowl Party this year. Kinky or not, I'm still going to put out the best spread possible! The theme I'm going for is San Francisco vs Kansas City foods:

San Francisco Side:

Mission-style and California fusion mini-burritos

Rice-a-Roni arancini

Carafes of Trader Vic's cocktails. (Mai Tais, Fish House Punch, and Flamingos)

Disgustingly over-hopped west-coast IPAs

Kansas City Side:

Burnt brisket ends

Cheesy corn

(Sigh) "Chicken fingers with probably ranch dressing" for the Swifties

A pitcher of Caribou Lou's

Disgustingly under-hopped domestic canned beer

No Man's Land:

Chips, salsa, and guacamole

Actual good beer

Hot wings (NOT Buffalo wings. Buffalo doesn't get celebrated at a Super Bowl party until they start making their damned field goals.)

I got followed around Chelsea Market by an off leash chihuahua the exact size and shape of a Mission style burrito today.

National Burrito Day

Line up some meat, beans and cheese on a large flour tortilla. Fold in the sides, fold up the bottom and then roll on, my friend, roll on! And it’s the rolling that really makes the burrito come alive.

It’s time to celebrate and enjoy this simple but delicious food on National Burrito Day! 

History of National Burrito Day

The history of the burrito is couched in mystery because the concept of meats and cheeses rolled in tortillas is hard to trace! A variety of different types of foods that originate from Mexico include the tortilla with meat and cheese, such as the taco and the enchilada, taquitos, chimichangas or even quesadillas. But the burrito is a bit unique because it is larger than others and its history has grown out of the culture of Mexico but made its way into the southwestern portions of the United States where it became even more popular.

Burritos can be traced back at least to the 19th century, when these recipes were developed. In fact, one of the oldest mentions of the word “burrito” came in 1895 when it was mentioned in a book called the “Dictionary of Mexicanisms”.

Originally created with simple meat and cheese inside of a tortilla, and then probably sold by street food vendors, the burrito evolved into something more as the years went on. Sometimes called mission-style burritos the idea came for adding beans and rice as fillers, and then guacamole and sour cream for toppings. It was after this that the burrito developed into something more akin to what it is today, with some restaurants like Chipotle offering a huge range of options for preferred ways to fill a burrito.

In any case, the burrito is a hearty and delicious meal that is certainly worth celebrating! And that’s where the tradition of National Burrito Day, whether old or new, finds its place in the world.

How to Celebrate National Burrito Day

Getting in the spirit of National Burrito Day can be loads of fun and a tasty adventure. Get involved with the day by implementing some of these ideas for celebrating:

Try Making Burritos at Home

One super delicious way to celebrate National Burrito Day is to hang out with family or invite a group of friends over for a burrito bar. In fact, burritos are some of the easiest foods to serve when hosting a crowd! Those who have a quick cooking instant pot may choose to cook some pork or chicken with seasonings in just about an hour. A slow cooker or roasting in the oven are viable options as well.

Friends can be invited to bring the fixings such as large flour tortillas, black or red beans, rice with cilantro, guacamole, cheese sour cream, salsa, tortilla chips, jalapenos, hot sauces, and so many other yummy toppings! Line everything up and let each guest make their own burrito by piling on everything they love. It’s a fun way to serve a great meal without a lot of fuss.

Go Out for Burritos

One superb way to celebrate National Burrito Day might be to grab a friend or family member, head on over to a restaurant that serves burritos and order a delicious plate full. Perhaps this would be a locally owned and operated Mexican restaurant that serves up beef, chicken or bean burritos on a bed of rice. Or maybe it would be a quick lunch at a fast and fresh food burrito restaurant.

Don’t forget to ask if that favorite Mexican kitchen is offering any special deals or discounts in celebration of National Burrito Day!

Try out one of these Mexican restaurant chains that serves burritos:

QDOBA Mexican Eats. With more than 700 locations in the United States, it’s easy to find a delicious burrito nearby. Try the specialty chicken burrito that is customizable to each individual’s desired tastes and preferences.

Chipotle. One of the largest and most accessible burrito joints, this chain boasts almost 3,000 locations not only in the US, but also in Canada, Germany, France and the United Kingdom.

Moe’s Southwest Grill. This one is perhaps not quite as well known, but Moe’s is still a viable option that has up to 700 locations throughout the US.

Taco Bell. Sure, it gets a bad rap (or wrap?!) sometimes, but there’s no arguing with the fact that 7000 locations worldwide is nothing to overlook. And it’s probably the quickest service for burritos and other Mexican fast food around.

Enjoy a Tex-Mex Themed Day

Whether at work or at school, National Burrito Day brings with it many opportunities to enjoy and show appreciation for the culture behind this delicious food. In addition to eating burritos, don’t forget to stay connected through fun aspects such as festive music, delightful decorations, cultural dress and even some fun games.

One fun activity might be to grab a blindfold and play Pin the Tail on the Donkey. After all, the word for “burrito” really translates to mean “little donkey” in the Spanish language. Another fun game for a National Burrito Day party might be to have a cute pinata filled with candy and treats.

Create a Burrito Themed Playlist

Have tons of fun creating a festive playlist of songs celebrating the home culture of the burrito. Get started with some of these fun ideas for songs that give a nod to National Burrito Day:

How Do I Feel (The Burrito Song) by Hoku (2000). The songwriter penned this one in honor of a boy she liked who worked at a burrito stand. Sure, it’s a little silly, but it’s also rather fun.

Burrito by Pete Yorn (2003). Known for his ability to play the bulk of the instruments on his albums, Pete Yorn sings this song where he offers the listener a bite of his burrito.

O Burrito by Fernando Corriera Marques (2009). This tribute is sung as it should be – in Spanish!

The Burrito Song by Creed Fisher (2022). A strange but compelling song by Creed Fisher, this one is more of a kids’ song but certainly shows its love for burritos too.

I've been in DC for a week and here is what I ate:

Pork belly ramen from Reren Lamen. Good but not great.

Delish sweet potato tikki balls and other veggie bowl from RASA.

A Mission-style pork carnitas burrito from Dos Toros Taqueria. Amazing even if a little salty.

Chipotle's chicken al pastor burrito. And then I got heartburn.

Two Cobb-style salads, one not too bad, one mid (as the kids say).

One Pig & Pineapple pizza from Matchbox and one sausage and artichoke pizza from Ella's. Ella's was the clear winner. But Matchbox had a guavarita (guava margarita) that I absolutely loved.

Breakfast at Tatte Bakery and Cafe: a scrambled egg and biscuit sandwich with a tomato salad on the side.

China Chilcano! I had a pork belly bun and handmade noodles with spicy pork. Thanks, José Andrés!

So I'm reading some spooky stories by M R James and I wanna talk about the ones I've read so far but in the style of Overly Sarcastic Productions

Whistle story: "After showing the ill-gotten artifact to the Colonel, who wisely suggests chucking it into the nearest body of water, Parkins heads off to bed slightly annoyed his room doesn't have curtains. And where are the curtains you may ask. Why there's one right now as a spooky sheet ghost scaring the daylights out of Parkins! He screams so loud in fact the Colonel bursts into the room which scares away the ghost. He tucks in Parkins blanket burrito style and stays the night im case the ghost comes back. Thankfully, the Colonel makes good on his word and Parkins goes home with a fear of every vaguely humanoid figure in loose fitting cloth. This is why you don't stick weird things in your mouth kids. Or desecrate old church grounds."

Runes: "Dunning and Harrington devise a Mission Impossible scheme to return the supposedly cursed paper to its source. Or the card scene in Now You See Me. Either way, the mission is a success but they ponder the morality of doing an Uno Reverse on a magical murderer who does in fact die from 4d6 falling church damage. Take note all you aspiring authors, learn to take criticism and don't kill everyone who gives you a bad review."

Warning to the Curious: "And so concludes yet another story of people digging up strange things after hearing about it and then being shocked-SHOCKED-about the supernatural consequences."

Ash Tree: "The gang decide that whatever is behind these mysterious deaths has to do with the ash tree, more so when a cat falls into it and lets out such horrific screams it makes one of the housekeepers faint. So they grab a ladder but the hollow is dark. They then get a lantern but the dude faints and is thankfully caught but drops the lantern into the tree, setting it on fire. And what comes out of the tree? Giant spider monsters. So yeah. Don't sleep by ash trees or spiders will eat…you???"

Count Magnus: "Once again, if people could stop poking their noses in local legends and dig up things that should probably stay buried, they might not get stalked by ghosts or demons and mysteriously die."

Haunted Doll House: "Remember to always ask why the cool thing you're buying for a suspiciously cheap price is so cheap and if its because it has a family of ghosts hitching a ride."

Bayside Village’s downtown San Francisco waterfront apartments offer the perfect mix of design and comfort, giving you a space that feels just right for city living.

Food Scene and Local Cuisine in San Francisco, CA

When it comes to food, San Francisco never disappoints. From street food to fine dining, you'll taste flavors from all over the world. Don’t miss out on the city’s famous sourdough bread and fresh seafood, especially clam chowder served in a bread bowl. The Mission District is great for Mexican food, while Chinatown offers some of the best dim sum in the area.

Whether you're into history or architecture, or just looking for a peaceful escape, the Palace of Fine Arts is the spot.

Esteemed Middle Eastern Restaurant Coming to a Mission District Gas Station

I think the idea of opening a Middle Eastern shawarma stand at a gas station in the Mission District is both surprising and kind of genius. It’s not the usual spot you’d expect for a food venture, but it seems like the owners have a personal connection to that setting. For Saif Makableh, it’s about recreating the authentic street food vibe he grew up with in Jordan. Plus, focusing solely on shawarma allows them to perfect the craft. It’s clear they care about the details—like using high-quality, marbled meat and ensuring it’s cooked just right. The menu might be simple, but that’s the point: give people an unforgettable shawarma experience. It’s a refreshing twist, and with their track record, I can see this becoming another hit.

Toronto (pt. 3)

Adventure Time! I hopped onto a double-decker train and alighted at Union Station in the heart of Toronto around noon and after depositing my luggage somewhere safe, started scouting the city. It was impossible to miss CN Tower as soon as I stepped out of the station, which was appropriate since it’s the undisputed #1 attraction in these parts.

I made a late decision to use the hop-on-hop-off tour bus service that laps the main spots of Toronto – normally, I am very happy to let my legs carry me everywhere, but after a short walk/run the day before (which was the only exercise I managed during the tournament), I was feeling a significant amount of pain in my left hip, which flared up after more than 5 minutes of walking. It made the day a bit of a chore in places, but I didn’t let it spoil my fun. My plan was to use the tour as a factfinding mission and revisit any points of interest later once I’d (hopefully) healed up a bit.

The bus tour lasted 2 hours and passed by several places that I’d already bookmarked. My journey stretched from the Waterfront all the way to Casa Loma, and the tour guide rockin’ the mic had a couple of amusing nuggets along the way: the trip to the top of CN Tower is free if you’re willing to traipse up the 1,776 steps instead of taking the elevator!

Once I’d completed a circuit, the nearest point on my to-do list was Graffiti Alley, which was very cool and well worth the visit:

I was ready for food after wandering through the wall art, and having spotted a chain called ‘Fat Bastard Burrito’ whilst aboard the bus I decided they’d earned my business. It’s a Subway-style system where you pick the pieces of your burrito from the options in front of you, and all went swimmingly until the final stage where I chose my sauce; the choices didn’t really grab me but I felt the burrito would have been lacking without, so I went for the hot sauce. The man behind the counter tentatively applied three drops to my order which I thought looked a piffling amount, so requested he do the same again. I should have heeded the seasoned professional’s warning, because it nearly ruined an otherwise delicious burrito!

I pottered around a little longer before limping back to Union Station and travelling to my lodgings for the next few days. It is a little outside the city but so far I have found Toronto and the surrounding areas to be very well-connected – a boon if my hip continues to annoy. I am again thinking about conserving my energy tomorrow in order to be ready for one final push on my last day, but we shall see what the morning brings…
