Who wants to gently hold me like a starfish so I can float in the water?

Midnight Family / Familia de Medianoche (with mum) 1x08 Día de Muertos

Marcus tells Ramón about Cris' pregnancy and their plans. A touch-and-go situation reaffirms Marigaby's passion for saving lives.

Lety should pack her and Julito's bags and get away from the toxic men in her life. Both very controlling. It's no wonder she felt suffocated and left. Just take the boy this time too.

Unprisoned (with mum) 2x02 How to Be a Cat

Following a revelatory family therapy session, Paige takes Edwin's advice and experiments in dating like a cat, while Edwin pursues new employment and Finn tries to make a friend.

Finn's lego dinosaur was cool, the mean boy does not deserve his friendship. Surely someone in his school has a dnd campaign he can join to help make new friends.

Shrinking 2x05 Honesty Era

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand 1994

"Red Right Hand" is a song by Australian rockband Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. It was released as a single from their eighth studio album, Let Love In (1994), on 24 October 1994. The title comes from John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost (1667), in which it refers to divine vengeance.

The song has become one of Nick Cave's signature songs, being performed at most of his concerts. It has since become best known for its use in the Scream film series and later as the theme song to the British period crime drama TV series Peaky Blinders, which resulted in the song receiving a re-release single in 2014. It has been covered by Arctic Monkeys, PJ Harvey, Iggy Pop, Jarvis Cocker and Snoop Dogg, among others.

"Red Right Hand" received a total of 67% yes votes! Previous Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds polls: #103 "Where the Wild Roses Grow".

Five More Minutes - Kento Nanami

notes - This one's for the poll :) Thanks for voting guys, seriously, it always helps because I have such an urge to write, but don't know who to write for T^T Speaking of, feel free to drop any character in my inbox :) word count - 402 genre - fluff warnings - none :)

“When’s the last time we took a vacation?” you asked, your voice thinning out as you stretched in bed.

Nanami snorted and rolled over on his side. “Have we ever even taken one?”

You turned yourself over and cuddled Nanami. “We should take one then.” you whispered.

“Easier said than done.”

You ran your fingers over his bare back feeling goosebumps rise.

“We deserve it though.” you told him, pressing your fingers onto his back, almost massaging him lightly.

“You deserve it.”

“Shut up.” You pressed a kiss onto his shoulder and hugged around him. You felt his thumb rub over your knuckles before he placed a kiss onto them. “Everyone deserves a vacation. Plus, I don’t want to see you work yourself to death. You’re better than that.”

Nanami rolled over so he could look you in the eyes. He had bags under his own eyes and despite a good night’s sleep, he looked as though he could pass out again. “I could say the same about you, y/n.”

“Shush.” You let him wrap his big arms around you that always gave you that secure feeling. You smiled and took a big breath in. You never wanted to leave when he did this, but you also always knew what was coming.

“We gotta get ready for work.” Nanami said, pressing a kiss onto your forehead.

You groaned and held him tighter. “Five more minutes.” you grumbled.

“No, love, we have to go. We had five minutes.”

You pouted as he tried to pull away from you, and you clung onto him like an animal.

“Babe, I’m serious.” he giggled, trying to pry you away.

“And I’m serious too.”

You somehow managed to let go, but maneuver yourself in a way where you grabbed onto his back and slammed him right back down on the bed. When he fell to his doom, you looked at your hands in surprise. You knew you were strong – since you were a sorcerer and all – but not that strong.

You turned to Nanami and smiled before pouncing on him to press kisses and lay in bed for just five more minutes.

“We really do need a vacation.” he said, grabbing your thigh and rubbing his thumb over your soft skin.

“I’ll start planning.” You pecked him on the cheek and got out of bed to get dressed.

“Going already?” he pouted.

“You’re awful.” you teased.

Thing from Beyond Poll

Scenario

Your friend is an otherworldly monster whose persona you know her as is only a shape she folds her body into to interface with human society and also as a lure to get close enough to humans to open up and consume them whole both for nourishment and to absorb their DNA and memories to become more human and in turn maybe better understand her place in a world to which she doesn’t belong. Her “true form,” unfolded, is about a 9’-14’ across 1”-thick ‘blanket’ of a creature with no front or back, only color-changing skin on one side and rows of retractable teeth on the other side that doubles as both a mouth and stomach. (This is the side that’s on the inside when folded up into a human shape but it can change color too with some practice.)

(This is one of the five core playable monsters in Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy, the “thing from beyond”, which you can read all about and even play as if you go download the demo from the free demo link on our website and jump to page 402.)

Anyway, the question is, if the whole gang was planning a picnic and she wanted to lay mouth-up on the ground and be the blanket, would you let her?

Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy is going to launch on Kickstarter on April 10th and we need all the help we can get. Set a reminder from the Kickstarter page through this link.

If you’re interested in a more updated and improved version of Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy than the free demo you got from our website, there’s plenty of ways to get one!

Subscribe to our Patreon where we frequently roll our new updates for the prerelease version!

Donate to our ko-fi and send us an email with proof that you did, and we’ll email you back with the full Eureka prerelease package with the most updated version at the time of responding! (The email address can be found if you scroll down to the bottom of our website.)

Or, if you can’t afford any of that, join our TTRPG Book Club and then just ask. Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy is the current game being played in the book club, and anyone who wants to participate in discussion, but can’t afford to make a contribution, will be given the most updated prerelease version for free! You can even come and listen in on a session today! The session starts at 5:30 PM CST today (March 27th, 2024). If you’re reading this in the future, join anyway, there’s several other groups that may or may not be still going with Eureka at the time you’re reading this. Plus it’s just a great place to discuss and play new TTRPGs you might not be able to otherwise.

Odd numbered poll options are Boars (adult male bears), even numbered poll options are Sows (adult female bears). Independent Subadults have not been included in this poll because i'm not sure how i want to handle them yet.

Holly & Otis are not included in this poll because they have not yet arrived this season, and i want to be able to post bear cam photos from this year in these posts.

747's nickname on this blog is "Bearplane" because no one actually calls him "Colbert" and i (along with most others i've seen) like "Bearplane" more anyways.

On a side note, I looked back at last year’s entries, and I definitely thought Bouquet was Banquet, so instead of admitting I was wrong, I did it as a sub this year. If you noticed, no you didn’t :)

Also funny story about Shallow, I kept reading it as Swallow, so I couldn't do it

HxH 402: King Shit

Okay...this is literally the densest chapter of HxH to date and that's saying a lot given this manga had a superpower based on compound interest. Which is a bitch to be fair. Tonight thought we have a huge lurch forward in the Succession Contest itself and let's start with the beginning. Which is where we picked up from last week. Kurapika has gotten Woble into a formal truce. King Nasubi has stated "sole survivor" is up to interpretation so it matters we now have an agreement that #3 wins if only #5/#14 are left standing.

Tsubeppa's fine with this because she more than anyone else wants Kurapika close, and I'd imagine is operating under the idea she won't have to worry about #3 making it to the end. The core theme this time is how they're all playing a very unassuming game. And there are a lot of parallels here like the coin beast mentioned above and Basho getting a great little moment later. Zhang Hei is in a weird position, from the looks of it and his own assumption his Nen Beast is weaker here but potentially great after winning. He curried a strong showing in our poll, but now let's move on to someone who only got one vote. Mine.

Kacho? Kacho? What the hell girl. I dig it. Batgirl over here. Y'all, this chapter broke hard in the direction I wanted to see this contest go. Everything. So let's recap. The twins tried to escape with Melody's help. In the process we saw freaky hands go crazy and Kacho died, revealing her Nen Beast in the best moment of the arc so far. Season of Two - First twin out resurrects to aid the other. Fugetsu's ability is a tunnel to anywhere she's been, but it does require Kacho to shut it. They and Melody are under investigation for the escape attempt...but the Justice Bureau officials have seemingly been on their side. That said, FuuFuu has been getting a little crazy.

That's all well and good, but why would I think that can beat things like the freakish Nen savant or the First Prince with the military edge?

This isn't a fistfight. It is a political battle for succession. Fugetsu is the one no one is worried about. The younger ones are unpredictable and their moms are the real threat. None of the others really even know Woble or Maryam. Fuu's in that sweet spot and seems like the type everyone at least kinda likes.

But the biggest thing is that Kakin has a mostly modern government outside of this. It's the bureaucrats, yet again Melody feels she should be suspicious but nothing Kaiser has said really warrants it. This is the choice that makes sense for someone in his position. And all this scene is laying out that basic theory; Fugetsu's power is the type of thing that allows so much leeway to play this game if you have people willing to get dirty for you.

If you mistrust Kaiser, I want you to consider why. Would you say, mistrust Gon deciding he likes Melody and Fugetsu and he'll fight the bad princes for them? Is it because Kaiser's a G-Man? Oh, see that's exactly why I trust him. If you've ever been around high-level bureaucrats you'll probably know what I mean. If they're good enough to rise to that rank they could have been a politician, military officer, something with more glory. He's just the type of guy who wouldn't balk at the Trolley Problem and is used to making real decisions of that magnitude regularly. Melody's music attracted a lot of people, she's a beautiful soul, someone maybe actually doesn't care about how she looks. King Fugetsu is the type who'd just play the nice figurehead and let the advisors run their own lanes.

And he's already paid huge divdends, just like that. Fugetsu easily waltzes right into most of the other Princes' rooms. No one suspects anything, it all seems above board, Kaiser knows exactly what to do.

But I think it's easy to miss what's important here. Melody and Kurapika both hint the letter truly is a bombshell that'll upend this whole Succession Contest. Once again, of course a bureaucrat of Kaiser's rank just casually has dirt on all of them. You can really see it here with Luzurus but they're all pretty good at playing coy. And Fuu just casually fleeced them all.

Weekly Wrapup 1/7/24 (not late!)

Top five smashable wrestlers this week:

Biaca Belair - 86.4% smash

Trinity Fatu - 81.4% smash

Mickie James - 79.4% smash

Seth Rollins - 78.8% smash

Luchasaurus - 77.8% smash

More stats under the cut, along with my observations, commentary, and some of my favorite tags...

Bottom five smashable wrestlers this week:

Miracle Violence Connection - 11.8% smash

Haku - 30.6% smash

Gabe Kidd - 33.8% smash

Colten Gunn - 42.9% smash

Will Ospreay - 49.6% smash

Most total votes this week (most enthusiasm)

Luchasaurus - 347 votes

MJF - 339 votes

Seth Rollins - 302 votes

Dalton Castle - 290 votes

Will Ospreay - 274 votes

And least total votes this week (least enthusiasm)

Mickie James - 97 votes (Did I accidentally set her poll to one day? That is mega low)

Miracle Violence Connection - 152 votes

Haku - 183 votes

MACE - 197 votes

Trinity Fatu - 199 votes

The closest poll was Will Ospreay, who lost 136-138. He also has the second-closest poll overall (Cheerleader Julia Hart takes the top spot--her poll was decided by a single vote).

Top Five Overall

Kris Statlander - 91% smash

Athena - 90.2% smash

Minoru Suzuki (Young Variant) - 88.7% smash

Swerve Strickland - 88.3% smash

Hangman Adam Page - 86.4% smash

Bottom Five Overall

Vince McMahon - 3.9% smash

Kane (Corporate variant) - 10.1% smash

Miracle Violence Connection - 11.8% smash

Triple H (Terra Ryzing variant) - 18.6% smash

The Boogeyman - 22.6% smash

Top Women Overall

Kris Statlander - 91% smash

Athena - 90.2% smash

Bianca Belair - 86.4% smash

Rhea Ripley - 84.2% smash

Julia Hart (Spooky Variant) - 81.9% smash

Top Men Overall

Minoru Suzuki (Young Variant) - 88.7% smash

Swerve Strickland - 88.3% smash

Hangman Adam Page - 86.4% smash

Hikuleo - 86.0% smash

Jon Moxley - 84.8% smash

Top Tag Teams

The Golden Lovers - 80.4% smash

Best Friends - 66.7% smash

Motor City Machine Guns - 65.5% smash

Young Bucks - 43.8% smash

Ink Inc. - 25% smash

Average Smash Rating

Week 1: 52.7% Week 2: 57.7% Week 3: 54.4% Week 4: 62.9% Week 5: 58.4% Week 6: 55.9% Week 7: 59.6%

This is the first week that the top overall smash rankings haven't changed. Bianca Belair juuuuust missed knocking Hangman out of the top 5, but she earned her spot as 3rd overall in the women's rankings. The men's overall rankings haven't changed either, and I suspect from here on out the overall rankings for everyone and men will not change very often. If they're stagnant again next week I'll expand the overall rankings to top 10.

We finally have the definitive Scott Hall rankings as requested by @84reedsy!

Original NWO run - 60.5% smash, 220 votes

Razor Ramon - 55.7% smash, 235 votes

NWO Reboot - 48.2% smash, 193 votes

Diamond Studd - 43.7% smash, 197 votes

Across all four polls, he received 443 smash votes and 402 pass votes for an overall smash rating of 52.4%. If someone requests this for like...every Chris Jericho persona, I might have an aneurysm trying to keep it all straight.

It was a little surprising to see Will Ospreay do so poorly. I hate him, but I thought others thought he was hot in a cocky bastard sort of way. I was not surprised to see Dalton Castle score nearly 70%. The man is a delight in every way.

I had to block someone for threatening violence in the tags for a poll recently. It hasn't been much of an issue, but I ask again: please please please don't threaten violence against others even as a joke. Yes, wrestling is a violent sport and we all talk about how hot it is when they bleed all over, but it's distressing to see threats in my notifications. Please get passionate (the aggressive lobbying for Nick Jackson has made my week!) but keep it friendly.

And now for some of my favorite tags and comments

@oplishin on Luchasaurus: #luchadors turning out to be really fucking hot underneath the mask will never not be funny to me

@tache-noire on Dalton Castle: #im gonna make that man lay eggs

@pavlovean on Haku: #i hooked up with a guy once who looked kinda like haku but white#he did an impression of phil collins while we were gettin down. it was weird.

@pavlovean on Scott Hall (Original NWO Run): #scott hall has been featured on this blog probably more than any other wrestler#and my answer will never change. SMASH#how many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man?!

@arthausen on Bianca Belair: #miss Bianca I would gladly be your purse dog if you’d let me

Black Sails Monologuolympics BR4.1: SILVER'S MONOLOGUES: ROUND 2 🥈

3/8: 306 vs 402

Silver, to Madi, in 306: "“I cannot look weak. I cannot feel weak. I cannot be weak. Not in front of my men. Not in front of your men. Not at all. For some time now, I have been holding my entire world together with both hands, keeping my men in line, seeing to their needs, and the only way that endures is if I look the part. And I cannot look the part while being poked and prodded or while drooling through an opium haze saying who the fuck knows what. So I will endure this the way I have been enduring it.”

Silver, to Hands, in 402: “I'm no one. From nowhere. Belonging to nothing. I'm a wretch like you. And yet… mountains of gold have changed hands because I chose it. Thousands of men in Nassau are living in fear of my return because I decreed it. Hundreds of dead redcoats in a forest not far from here, because I made it so. I'm the reason grown men lie awake at night. I am a new beginning for Nassau.”

And with that, Round One of the Second Annual Ninjago Sexyman Tournament has ended!

How we all doing?

Suffering from spam? Me too. Don't worry! Next year I'm going to make a separate blog just for the tournament, because I was not expecting there to be THIS MANY CHARACTERS. This tournament is comprised of 402 characters, and that's not even the total number of Ninjago characters, that's just the adult characters. Plus, Ninjago is only getting bigger and bigger

From here on out, the rounds are going to be smaller and smaller, so spam won't be as bad (again, I apologize).

I thought it'd be fun to also do a bit of a summary!

Most votes: Fungus vs Finn - 328 votes

Closest call: 1) Shezada vs Mindroid - 50/50

2) Sally’s Dad vs Nails - 50/50

Biggest win: 1) Raggmunk vs Shade - 0/100

2) Cardinsto vs Movie Wu - 0/100

Least votes: Kenji vs Sally-Bob - 27 votes

Round 2 will consist of 5 sections, with 20 polls each. All else is normal, you'll have a week to vote on each poll and they'll release every three to four days. Section one will release on 3/12 at 7pm EST.

Sorry, one last thing- here's a reminder of how polls are tagged: "#nst 2 Round-Section"

Fat Bear Week starts today!! Head on over to fatbearweek.org to vote on two weighty matchups! Make sure you scroll down to vote in both as they are entirely separate ballots.

The first of today's battles is between 806 'Donk the Chonk' Junior, and 428 'Studious Svetlana'!

Also known as 'Phelps' and 'Tank' 806 jr. is a first year cub who is such a butterball that at least 2 bears tried to eat him on camera. Despite being very delicious he has chonked and floofed up very nicely!!

His rival, 428, is from Brooks Falls Royalty. Daughter of 128 Grazer, granddaughter of 408 Crooked Claw, this savvy young sow paid close attention to her mom's fishing lessons and went from scrawny sub to fat and fab!

In the second match we see two moms, the old guard and the new: 402 'Mother of Bears' and 901.

402 is a massive matriarch who has raised 8 (EIGHT!) litters of cubs! Her genes are all over Brooks River, and who can blame the boars for courting her? She has one yearling cub this year, a feisty little nugget, who is keeping her on her toes, but she has still managed to get both herself and her cub nice and fat!

901 is a first time mom who has persevered admirably. Despite both nursing and sharing food with her cubs (not to mention fishing her heart our day after day), 901 is looking amazing this fall.

There are no wrong choices in today's matches! They are all fat! You can vote based on whatever criteria you want. Just do your civic duty, and may the most deserving Fat Bear win! The polls are open now, until 9pm eastern.
