OOH OK FOR THE CHARACTER THING!!! a few options, feel free to just choose one or all of them: Cyrus, Cilan, and/or Iris!
fuck it, I'll do all of em.
Cyrus (for the purposes of this game cyrus since anime cyrus is so different):
-First impression
I didn't like him. I thought he sucked. I didn't get what he was trying to do and thought it was kind of a stupid thing to do/want. I definitley thought that he had potential though. But mostly in the context of being banished to the distortion world.
-Impression now
my blorbo. my pathetic meow meow. I want to pick him up and smack him against the wall. I think about him so much. I wanna put him under a microscope. I think he's so goddamn interesting, just a fascinating horrible little man. I want to put him in situations and by god do I.
-Favourite moment
In terms of cool points.... well being trapped in the distortion world was pretty cool. But I'll say actually his usum rr apperance. I watched a playthrough and him there is what made me realise that hey, there's far more to this guy than a thematically inappropriate retro space theme. Changed my brain chemistry. I would not be tumblr user catboy-cyrus without it. Also shoutout to him in masters accidentally becoming buddies with Sophocles.
-Idea for a story
I am 100k words into a Cyrus in Hisui fic. this one answers itself sdlkjds
-Unpopular Opinion
I'm not really sure I have one? I know plenty of people dont like him (but also that plenty of people do. hello cyrus mutuals).
-Favourite relationship
God how do I pick. Him and his commanders is great even if he doesn't really like them. I am biassed to Masters though. Him being nice to Sophocles (and Sophocles really wanting him to be nice) is super heartwarming to me.
-Favourite headcannon
Uh. well I guess just my Entire Personal Interpretation of him. Depressed, autistic, aroace, all of that kinda thing. More specifically, I am certain that if literally ANY of his circumstances differed, he wouldn't have done it. If he was like 2% happier, he would not try and end the world about it.
Cilan (anime cilan because he is my original blorbo):
-First impression
I honestly don't remember, but in his first episode I am certain him leading ash to the gym, knowing he's a challenger, and then acting as if he were just a guest at a resturaunt would not set me off on a good foot. I also think i found Detective Time cringe as shit dsjlkdslk
-Impression now
My original blorbo. He just makes me happy. I see Cilan and my mood improves it is that simple. He's just great.
-Favourite moment
MAN how do I pick??? Him getting on with N is always great. I love him getting super excited about trains/acting/etc. But honestly the moment that stuck with me the most is that time he gets possessed and attempts to kill Ash and Iris. that was fucked up. Formative moment as a kid dslkjdslkj
-Idea for a story
man... I've never really thought it through. This isn't really anime focused but I personally find the theory that the triplets are the Shadow Triad really really funny so probably something stupid about that. One of them fucks up by using a cooking mataphor or something.
-Unpopular opinion
I AM MORE EXCITED FOR CILAN IN ANIME AGAIN THAN SUBMAS. GIVE ME MY GREEN GUY!!!!!!!!
-Favourite relationship
Bit of a cop out but him, ash, and iris' friendship is super special to me. his friendship with the subway bosses is very sweet too though and I enjoy how well he gets on with N.
-Favourite headcanon
Okay this is an elaborate in-joke between me and my brother but that through declaring himself a connoisseur of something, he gains arcane power and knowledge about is and is functionally omnipotent. It's so fuckign stupid but funny to us.
Iris (uhh fuck i love both game and anime iris so I'll just alternate)
First impression-
Again, I don't remember but I think I liked her? I first saw her in the anime and something about being a weird little guy who hung out in trees definitey appealed to me as a child.
Impression now-
Still like her!! Both characterisations, although I really don't get her thing about calling Ash and Cilan a kid in the anime. Iris you are a kid also?? In the games i think she's great. I am a big fan of very nice little guy who WILL kick your ass so so hard.
Favourite moment-
Honestly? Her re-apperance in the anime was pretty fucking good. I am so glad she evolved Axew and became champion, and her battle was fucking COOL.
Idea for a story-
Hmm.... this one's difficult. I'd just kind of want to write her kicking team plasma ass honestly. She is cool and deserves to be written being cool.
Unpopular opinion-
Again, I really don't think I have any about her. She's a guy I like but I don't feel super strongly about her besides that.
Favourite relationship-
Going to the games here, her relationship with Drayden is super sweet and compelling to me. Her cool dragon grandpa!!!!!!
Favourite headcanon-
I think her 'knowing the hearts of dragons' thing isn't super literal. She's not like N in that she can talk to them, I think its more she's super good at reading them and their body language. Nothing supernatural or unusual, she's just unusually good with dragons. That might be the canon thing but I've not really seen any consensus on it.
#Thank you!! great selection of guys to rant about :D#ask#torchickentacos#long post#cyrus meows#god i love these fuckgn CHARACTERS#i am insane in the head . its also 2 am

Fifty Shades of Mikaelson
Shade 1
Authors Note: So here is the first installment of a mulit chapter series, I posted a teaser chapter last year and after a lot of work and editing here is the first chapter. This will be a slow burn series but I hope you will stick with it. Word Count: 2953 Pairing: ???Mikaelson x Reader Insert (Slow Burn) Warnings: Implied sexual humor. Richmond Virginia is the home to Mikaelson Enterprises, one of the largest companies in the US to date, with countless connections across the country and the world. After receiving the company from the untimely death of their parents and younger brother Henrik the six remaining siblings all took a share and equal role within the company.
The loss of their parents and younger brother was hard on the remaining family and became so tough on Freya and Finn that they ultimately took a step back from public eye of the company and became silent partners, this allowed Elijah, Niklaus, Kol and Rebekah to have a free rein on the company so to speak.What made Mikaelson Enterprises different to all the others was the fact that it didn’t have one sole purpose.
The company originally thrived at investing low market sales. Rather than take the risk and invest in the higher term stock markets each sibling took to different sectors and reaped the rewards of their own doing which allowed them endeavour into other opportunities.Each sibling was different, Rebekah stuck to fashion. Her aim was that she wanted people to look great whilst not breaking the bank and so she worked with a large team of designers to manufacture a line of clothing that was stylish while being at affordable prices. Kol and Niklaus went into business together to create the bourbon of bourbons, wanting to create a new brand and enjoying the odd glass or two led them to a likely partnership. Elijah was different compared to his other siblings rather than go out into the world and create a new product he used his studies and degree and built a highly respectable law firm. And each separate business venture was all under the same roof in the tallest building in the city.
Springtime in Richmond was often cold and or wet, and as I watched from my large bedroom window the weekend hustle and bustle of those wanting to get to work on time hurried in large packs and then would disperse quickly into different buildings. I padded barefoot through my large apartment, still half asleep, yawning and stretching relying on my auto-poilet function to get me to my kitchen so I could sort myself out with a cup of coffee and some much needed breakfast. Scratching my scalp with my nails I waited for the kettle to boil when I heard my laptop ping with an email. Groaning that I had emails to read on my day off, I ignored them whilst I carried on waiting for the water to boil but then the glorious chime of the skype ringtone filled my ears and I begrudgingly went over to my desk and answered the call.
“You’ve got some explaining to do love.” Klaus said, as I clicked on accept.
���I'll take your late night business meeting went well.” I teased back wiggling my eyebrows, carrying my laptop to my kitchen island.
“Why didn’t you tell me Caroline was the representative for the Salvatore’s?”
“I didn’t want you to have...performance issues.” I replied with a higher tone of voice whilst also swinging my hips as my back was to the camera while I continued to fix up my daily dose of caffeine.
“You can do better…” Klaus deadpanned sounding un-amused.
“Is that what Caroline said, aww champ.” I said as I turned back around to the camera with a mug in hand sipping away at the hot liquid.
“I need you in the office today.” He said changing the subject.
“You know I don’t work Saturday’s.” I replied, leaning back against the kitchen cupboards taking another sip of coffee.
“Kol needs a new assistant…”
“And that is my problem how?” I sassed back.
“Unless you want the extra workload? I suggest you find somebody.” Klaus said smugly as he raised his eyebrow.
I leaned towards the camera slightly. “I mean the extra money would be nice but it doesn’t quite fit in with my schedule, but who in their right mind is going to put up with your brother? Come on how am I meant to pitch this? By the way the guy you're going to be working for is arrogant and so self absorbed not to mention he thinks he’s the hottest and smartest guy in the room.” I ranted sarcastically.
“I’ll see you within the hour Y/N.” He said bluntly and he ended the call.
Letting out a huff I closed the laptop lid in a swift motion and lent back on the kitchen cabinets and took my time drinking my coffee. I glanced up at the clock, I saw I had about forty five minutes to get into work, which meant an hour give or take. Putting my now quarter empty coffee cup in the sink I headed over to my bedroom and picked out some clothes to wear. Selecting a form hugging, white knee length dress with a thin black belt, I then moved into my on-suite bathroom and jumped in the shower.
As I entered the building to my workplace I did my usual rounds of saying my good mornings and made my way to the elevator. Standing patiently I waited for the metal doors to open and it made me think back to my very first day at the offices working for Niklaus or Klaus as he liked to be called. I was fresh out of college and had my tuition debt looming over my head and as I read through the job adverts in the daily paper I saw that there was a position at the esteemed Mikaelson Enterprises, hearing that it was good money I applied for it and I had been working happily here for the past two and a half years.
Strolling through into Klaus’ office he looked un-amused just like he was in the video call earlier.
“You're late…” He scolded.
“I told you I don’t work Saturday’s.” I sassed back.
“Do you want to find yourself unemployed?” He threatened.
“Oh please you couldn’t even last a day without me, I know you better than you know yourself. Tell me again who is it that sends out Christmas cards to the shareholders? Or handles organizing all of your meetings?” I replied, rolling my eyes at his lame threat.
“Organizing meetings are a part of your job Y/N.”
“Ahhh Y/N there you are darling, here is the list of candidates you asked for.” Kol interrupted, walking into Klaus’ office interrupting mine and his bickering and the younger Mikaelson hands me a stack of files.
Taken aback by the weight of the files, I gave him a sarcastic smile. “I did?” I asked, gritting my teeth sending my boss daggers with my eyes.
“Brother would you like to join me for a drink? The distillery has a new batch they would like us to try.” Kol asked.
“Would love to, I’ll catch up in a few moments just have a few things to sort out here before we leave.” Klaus replies and with that Kol says his goodbyes and leaves the office.
“Really? You're calling me into work so you can play hooky?” I questioned, gesturing with my free hand.
“Duty calls. If it makes you feel better you can work here.” Klaus says with a smile and gets up from his desk and grabs his leather jacket and heads for the door.
“Would you also schedule a meeting with Marcel?” He asked as he turned slightly facing me.
“Sure, how does the 10th of kiss my ass sound?” I deadpanned, rolling my eyes.
“Perfect love, I’ll see you later.”
Klaus left his office and I let out another huff, so much for spending my Saturday at home binge watching TV whilst having a face mask on and eating a tub of ice cream, hanging up my woolen coat on the coat stand I placed the files on his desk. Slumping back against the leather office chair I reached out for the phone and slotted it under my ear and shoulder as I dialed the number for Marcel’s office while I looked at the first résumé.
“Hello Gerard Corporation, Davina speaking.”
“Hey Davina, it's Y/N.” I replied whilst scanning down the document.
“Hi, Y/N! What can I do for you?” Davina asked in a chirpy tone.
“Can I book Klaus in to see Marcel next week? I did say it’ll be the 10th of kiss my ass but if that doesn’t work how does the 6th?” I asked her, spinning in the chair.
I heard a chuckle down the line. “I have no idea how you can get away with talking to your boss like that!”
“Takes practice, don't worry though in a year or two you’ll be speaking to Marcel exactly the same way.”
“I doubt it, but you're in luck Marcel is free on the 10th. I’ll email you a confirmation this afternoon. But why are you working today? I didn’t think you worked on a Saturday?”
“Yeah so did I. Klaus called this morning saying that Kol needs a new assistant and that unless I want the extra workload to find someone suitable.” I replied with a grumble.
“Oh dear. Have you found anyone yet?” She asked.
“Well so far I’m on the first one but listen to this.”
“Ok.”
“I’m hardworking, loyal to a fault and will complete any task given to me to the best of my ability.” I said in a completely different accent and all I could hear from the other line was Davina laughing.
“Kol is...a difficult person anybody sweet and nice would just crumble under him.”
“Tell me about it, well here's to hoping I can find someone in this stack who can stick it to him. I best get back to work but fancy going for a drink on Friday night?”
“Sure thing, let me know how it goes. Speak to you later Y/N.”
“Bye D.” I said as I put the phone down and got back to looking at the applicants.
Taking another of the résumés I left the office and headed to the break-room to fix myself another hot drink. As I was leaning over the counter waiting for the coffee maker I heard a clearing of the throat.
“Nice to see your putting in the extra hours Y/N. Niklaus seems to have taken the hint about getting you to work one weekend a month.” Elijah says.
Slapping the document on the counter I span around. “Do you really have to make me sound so cheap Elijah?” I teased feigning that he hurt my feelings.
“Deepest apologies Y/N, you are looking lovely today might I add.” Elijah says.
“Why thank you, what brings you to this floor?” I asked him, fluttering my eyelashes.
“I was hoping to see Niklaus, is he available?”
“Wasted your time I’m afraid, he’s playing hooky with your brother down at the distillery. No idea what time he will be back. But I can call you once he gets back into the office?” I suggested, picking up the cup and slid the résumé under my arm.
“That would be rather helpful, thank you. I couldn’t help but also notice that some of my brothers' employees were looking a little frazzled. Perhaps you could aid them?” Elijah said back.
“I’m a secretary Elijah, I’m not running a day-care when your brother goes out.” I replied pulling a face, rolling my eyes and walked past him leaving him alone.
As I walked through the office back to Klaus’ office one of his employees called Joshua collared me. “Miss Y/N the fax machine isn’t working.” He uttered stumbling over his words.
“Joshua darling, did they not teach anything at college? Here hold this.” I started, handing him my coffee cup and file and went to the fax machine to which was surrounded by a few other members of staff.
“Listen up children.” I called out.
“Bessie has done her service over the years you just need to know how to deal with her.” I added as I lifted up a flip, kicked the bottom drawer and pulled out the paper that had jammed.
“Thank you.” I said quickly taking my cup and file and made a rather sharp getaway and back into the safety of Klaus’ office.
I spent the remaining part of the afternoon going through the remanding résumés and to be honest out of the thirty I had read none of them stood out to me, the majority of the applicants were female and seemed ‘too nice’ and I didn’t think they would stand a chance, what male applicants were there also didn’t seem to be packing much in the spunk department. Looking at the clock on the wall I noticed that it was three-thirty and I was seriously hoping that Klaus and Kol would be making their way back to the office soon so I could go home. When I had an idea. Picking up the receiver on the phone I dialed a number to which I hoped would be the savior I needed.
“Hello.”
“Cami? Hey It’s Y/NN how are you? Just a quick one, are you still looking for another job?” I asked, twirling the wire around my forefinger.
“Y/NN, I’m good thanks and yeah I am. Why do you know of somewhere?” She asked me back.
“How do you feel working at the same building I work at? My boss's brother Kol, he’s looking for a new assistant. I will warm you though, he may be hot but he can be an ass.” I told her with a chuckle.
“Honestly I’ll take what I can get, the hours at the bar are getting fewer and fewer.”
“Pop down to the office on Monday. I’ll schedule an appointment so you can meet him and get a feel for the place.”
“Alright I’ll do just that, thank you so much Y/NN.”
“No worries Cami glad I could help.”
Ending the call and putting the phone back, the door to the office swung open and Kol and Klaus stumbled in, while Klaus propped himself up by holding onto the back of the sofa, Kol crash landed onto it.
Raising an eyebrow. “I take it the tasting at the distillery went well?”
“That it did love.” Klaus slurred back.
“Did you find me a new assistant? Y/N” Kol asked me, shifting his position on the sofa.
“I did, I’ve set up an appointment on Monday so you can meet her. If she is too your liking she can start as soon as.” I replied back to him, moving to another part of the room that had a jug of water, pouring it into two glasses. I handed one to each of the boys.
Klaus and Kol looked at me and then at the glass of water in their hand, letting out a sigh I made a drink up motion with my hands.
“Elijah was also looking for you earlier, I did tell him I would contact him when you got back to office however I don’t think now is a good time. And that is also me done for the day thank you very much.” I added and collected my things and left the office.
Walking into my apartment I was exhausted, dumping my handbag and coat on the sofa I stripped off and turned the shower on. Standing underneath the water flow I enjoyed having the hot water fall onto and down my body as I felt the day drain away from me.
Monday came and I was back in the office like normal and already typing away at my desk which was located just outside Klaus’ office. I was in the process of sorting through some of the stray bits of paperwork that was scattered on my desk when the familiar notification came through. Glancing at the screen I let out a scoff, Klaus wanted to see me in his office. Pulling out the USB drive that was in my computer and strutted into the room.
“His lordship wishes to see me.” I teased, mocking a curtsy.
“Did you type up the transcript from the Salvatore meeting?” He asked bluntly.
“Yes it’s all on here but you also have paper copies in the bottom drawer in your desk, you have a meeting in twenty minutes with Marcel and I also made a reservation at that fancy restaurant for you and Caroline at eight.” I replied, motioning to the USB stick in my hand when I mentioned it.
“What would I do without you love?”
“Probably you wouldn’t survive at all, but is it really a good idea to be seeing Caroline outside of business negotiations?” I asked him.
“You see love that when people have too much to drink they let details slip. All you have to do is ask questions. But would you be a sweetheart and pick up my suit from the dry cleaners?” Klaus replies smugly.
“If you say so, but in my opinion playing Caroline like the way your aiming is just a dick move. And what did your last slave die of?” I told him bluntly.
“Love I’m not playing your friend. I’m playing the odds so I can win the bothersome game between us and Salvatore’s just remember who you get your paychecks from, and we ‘evil villains’ have minions such as yourself to go and pick up dry cleaning. Now if you don’t mind.”
“Yeah, yeah I get it. Just if you do you know find yourself in a compromising position later tonight make sure you wrap it before you tap it.” I sassed, winking at him and left the office.

My Thoughts on the Star Wars Fanbase. Only Read if you wanna read a long rant, and listen to ones opinion on this topic. You won't be judged for your opinion, so keep an open mind if you share it.
So.... This is a scary topic. Honestly, talking about Star Wars NOW is like talking about Ghostbusters in 2016. But WAY different. Personally, I think it's impossible to please the fanbase. It used to be so simple, right!? Everyone loved the OG trilogy. Most people panned the prequels, but there was a select few who enjoyed them, and even grew up with them. Most love Clone Wars, and some are okay with Rebels. But nowadays, everything's changed. Whenever one of the sequel trilogy came out, people got angry. Force Awakens was, "too similar to a New Hope." Last Jedi is, "too different from the other films." Rouge One and Solo, most people agree to disagree on their opinions on it. The Mandolarion is now beloved by so many fans. And now, we're at Rise of Skywalker. The mixed reviews, I think, can be summed up in several phrases. Pick The one that represents you! A. "This film panders to nostalgia, and is an insult to EVERYONE!" B. "I LOVED this film! It had so many new things, and some old things!" C. "Eh, I need to think about it. It was okay, I guess." D. "Wasn't prefect, but I've seen worse." E. "I've seen better, but it wasn't all bad." To me, I think they're all understandable. I personally like EVERY film in this series. But that doesn't mean I'm blind to their flaws. 1. Jar Jar and the politics stuff. 2. Some bad effects and acting. 3. A little too dark at times, and some off acting. 4. Some hoaky acting and writing for its time. 5. Wasn't as beloved when it came out. 6. A little too childish. Rouge One. Bland characters. Solo. Kinda pointless. But I have a soft spot for each film, even the new ones. And it might just come down to the three people I watch these movies with. My dad, my twin brother, and my little sister. My dad was one of the first to see the original Star Wars in the 70's. He's got a huge collection! But, he's not a fan of the prequels. And yet, he loves the newer films, and we have a great time in theaters when seeing them. My brother grew up with the prequels, same as me. But they didn't really like Star Wars until they got older. They like the old films, they're unbiased to the prequels, and they enjoy watching the newer films with us, despite the problems they have with them. And my little sister. She's growing up with these newer films. Watching them with her always makes me cry. Not just the new ones, but ALL of them. Watching them with her, eating snacks and such will always hold a place in my heart. So, with all that said, I always feel a pit in my stomach when discussing these films. To me, small changes could greatly improve stuff from them. Like Rey. Maybe if they showed her becoming exhausted from using the force, showed her training a little more and such, not as many would bash this character. In Last Jedi, maybe if Holdo told Poe that she was afraid a spy was on board, and that's why she doesn't speak her plan, and maybe cut down on the stuff with Finn and Rose, some of the hate wouldn't have come. And now, with the newest film, I think it's clear that it's impossible to make the fans 100% happy. The reviews from early screenings are EXTREMELY MIXED. Some get ticked off by the fanservice and pandering. The only reason they did that was to please fans! So many got pissed with how different Last Jedi was, so of course they're gonna try that! People are ticked off by certain characters. Not all of them are great, but it brings my piss to a boil whenever an actor is attacked for a role they played. Like the actresses for Rey and Rose. Daisy Ridley and Kelly Marie Tran were bullied A LOT, for simply playing two characters. Rey is called a Mary Sue, and Rose is called, "worse than Jar Jar." This has happened before. Not just by Star Wars fans, but even Indiana Jones fans! Ahmed Best, Hayden Christianson, Kate Capshaw, Shai Labouf, and now Ms. Ridley and Ms. Tran! Each of these actors have faced criticism. Best almost took his life from the hate Jar Jar got. Christianson didn't get good roles for many years afterwards. Capshaw is rarely in films really. And oh, poor Shia. From Indy 4, Transformers, and "Just Do It!", this guy deserves a break. Anyway, even if you don't like the characters, bullying the actors for it is NEVER acceptable. I'm sorry if some of this seems to go all over the place. But honestly, so does the fanbase. I'm an optimistic movie goer. I've seen much, much, much, much, much, MUCH worse movies than the sequel triology. So I lower my expectations, so I'm either pleasantly surprised, or not let down. So, I'm going to see Rise of Skywalker with my dad and bro this holiday season. I'm not gonna see Cats. God no! I'm gonna lower my expectations, so I can go in with an open mind. I can only hope that I'll walk out of the theater with SOME form of enjoyment. Even if I hate the film, if it managed to entertain me for even a millisecond, it's done SOMETHING right! If you don't like this movie after you see it, that's great! More power to ya! If you love the movie after seeing it, also great! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Just don't go overboard with your emotions. To anyone who reads this long rant, I Thank you, and wish you a good morning, good afternoon, good evening and good night. Happy Holidays, and thanks for reading.

My thoughts.
I didn’t watch the whole episode. I watched the ending and that scene which will not be named. I only saw it in passing tho, because I was hungry and wanted food, and my mom was watching, so that’s that. But my mom is amazing and ranted with me the entire night, and she knows how much GoT means to me...
And thats true. GoT means a lot to me. It’s a vast universe of characters that I’ve come to love and cherish. My favorite was Jon, because I related to him the most. I saw myself in him and I followed him around like a lost puppy. Then there’s Dany... I fell in love like a lot of people did. There’s a bunch of people that have put it into better words how amazing she was, so I won’t bore you with my poor attempt. But Jon and Dany were my favorites. There were things that I could relate with, things that I agreed with, and things I loved. I always said they were the break from all the politics in the show. And sometimes I really needed lol.
Then season 7 happened and I fell into this little fandom. I was always enthralled with the show, but something about Jonerys hooked me and I needed more.... well I found more. More than I could ever ask for. Now I do hate what they’ve done, and I will never be happy with it, and I’m forgetting that season 8 even existed, but... I’m grateful for this show.
Ive met the most amazing people in my life. I think everyone in this fandom can say that. I remember being scared to talk to some of them, because why would they even give me the time of day? (Self worth issues let me tell you lol) Well they did, and they’re my friends. My amazing friends that deal with me on a daily basis.
And I still love GoT for the reasons that it was something else me and my mom could bond over. There are select people that will let me drone on and on about tv/filmmaking and she’s one of them. That’s our thing. Tv and movies. And GoT was one of the most important. I’ll cherish those memories of watching the show with her for the rest of my days, as I will cherish every moment I’ve shared with my friends on here, theorizing, freaking out, every moment. Good and bad. You all know who you are, and I thank you.
And I wanna thank the amazing cast and crew for making the most epic television show to ever be produced. You guys changed tv... forever.
Only... they missed the mark this season... by a lot. I’ve done my fair share of ranting, but it comes from someone who loves this so damn much. And it pains me to see what it became. It’s a shell of what it once was, and it’s just awful. Every moment feels waisted and pointless. Characters doing things they never would do. Forgetting simple things that make a story decent. I know writing is hard. I’ve only done a little in my life, and it’s hard trust me, but there’s a line where I say “You’ve simply given up.” And that’s what it feels like. It feels like they gave up, because they did.
Season 8 was terrible, and D&D are hacks that ruined what should’ve been an epic conclusion to an epic show. But I guess some things just aren’t meant to be great. 7 seasons were, Jonerys is, and there’s plenty more amazing things in GoT. So I myself am ignoring season 8 for the betterment of myself, and I think I’m gonna take a break from GoT as well. Just to breathe and clear my mind of it all.
Once again, I thank the amazing cast and crew for busting their ass for 8 seasons, and I’m glad I joined this fandom.
Fire and Blood, darlings 😘🔥

Chocolate Chip Pecan Cinnamon Rolls #BrunchWeek
Chocolate Chip Pecan Cinnamon Rolls – That’s right, flaky baked cinnamon rolls filled with warm melting chocolate chips, everyone’s favorite hazelnut spread, and crunchy pecans. Read: the best cinnamon rolls ever.
This post is sponsored in conjunction with #BrunchWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #Brunchweek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.
The good, the bad, and the baked goods.
I owe the world an apology. I am have taken time to become selfish. I took some much needed time to step back and sort out some things and put my feet back under me. And you know what? It felt great. And now I am back – and ready to speak with that voice I lost along the way and show you guys those crazy travels and mouth-watering recipes that keep me grounded and excited to create!
We can get into those details later, you know, a little girl talk with cocktails. But for now, let’s roll into BRUNCH WEEK! It’s an event that’s been going on a few years and I am finally saddling up and joining in. A week-long party for crazy delicious eats centered around everyone’s favorite meal.
See, there’s something about brunch that works. It’s my favorite meal out, something about the sneaky act of not cooking and sipping something slow out and about or taking the morning slow and lazy and finally setting something crazy good (like these Chocolate Chip Pecan Cinnamon Rolls – hint hint wink wink) down on the table. So now, without further ramblings….
Welcome to #BrunchWeek 2018 hosted by Love and Confections and A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures! This year is even bigger and better than ever!

Chocolate Chip Pecan Cinnamon Rolls
Ingredients
For the Rolls
2 1/4 oz packages active dry yeast
1 cup buttermilk, warmed to 110 degrees F
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
1/3 cup sugar
1 teas salt
2 eggs
3 1/2 - 4 cups flour
For the Filling
1/2 cup peacans
1 cup nutella, warmed but not hot
1 teas cinnamon
1/2 cup chocolate chips (I used dark chocolate chips)
For the Glaze
3 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp powered sugar
1 tbsp buttermilk
1/4 teas hazelnut bakery emulsion
1/2 teas cinnamon
Preparation
For the Rolls
Mix the yeast in a mixing cup with the warmed buttermilk and allow to sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Meanwhile, whisk the butter, sugar, salt, and eggs in a large bowl.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, add 2 cups of the flour and make a well in the center for the buttermilk. Pour the buttermilk-yeast mixture and the butter-egg mix and start mixing slowly adding in the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup at a time.
Knead on low for 5 to 10 minutes until the dough forms a ball. Add the remaining 1/2 cup if the dough is not coming together.
Transfer the dough to a grease bowl, cover and allow to rest in a warm dry area, until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
Turn the dough out onto a clean working surface sprinkled with a bit of flour. Divide in half and roll out into a large rectangle
For the Filling
Toast the pecans in a preheated oven at 400 for 5 to 7 minutes, until fragrant. Remove, allow to cool, and chop.
Spread the nutella filling evenly over the rolled out dough., leaving an inch on a long end to roll. Sprinkle with cinnamon and chopped toasted pecans.
Tightly roll towards the edge that has been left clear, and cut into equal portions.
Arrange the rolls in a grease baking dish, cut side down, and cover.
Allow to rest, 45 minutes to 1 hour, until risen again.
To Make the Chocolate chip Pecan Cinnamon Rolls
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
Remove from oven to cool
Make the Glaze
While the chocolate chip pecan cinnamon rolls are cooling, whisk the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar, buttermilk, hazelnut bakery emulsion and cinnamon. Spread over the cooled (but still warm) rolls and sprinkle with more toasted chopped pecans for serving.
Adapted From
Alternatively, you can line a cast iron pan with parchment and bake the rolls in cast iron.

Can I ask for all of them??? Or if not all, all the odd ones? Or if not that, the first five? :D
I did all of them bc why not? You wanted me to and I love to talk about my nerds! @merigreenleaf and @albatris you two also asked for numbers so you can find the answers here! Thanks to all of you for your questions! I did the ocs from both Sparks fly and Sharing Breath and Sound bc I don’t have enough characters in one of the other to answer all these (I’ve got maybe 9 characters in sparks fly and less in SBAS fite me) 1. Is most likely to go on a rant for an hourSparky completely but it’ll be the most disjointed completely over the place rant ever. And also Scout actually. He gets really excited about the things he’s passionate about (seriously don’t get him started on mythology, a book, or Star Wars) 2. Starts or wants to rant but restrains themselfCassius. Oh my god Cass used to talk peoples ears off but now he’s too afraid to. But damn boy can rant. It’s usually complaining about people too. 3. Is surprisingly articulateRoman although that’s not surprising actually. Also Scout. He’s learned to cut to the point with his sign language. 4. Is surprisingly inarticulateOh my god Hall. He looks so stoic and broody but I swear to god if he gets flustered he’s flushed and stumbling all over his words it’s a mess. 5. Has no off-switchSparky. I don’t need to explain this really. 6. Doesn’t know when to quit when they’re aheadRoman. He just... goes for it. You give him an inch and he takes a mile. 7. Argues they are right despite evidence to the contraryAhh Sparky for sure, but also Scout. He’s got a hard time admitting he’s wrong when he’s already acted like he’s right. It’s a combination of anxiety and pride. 8. Freely admits they were wrong about somethingHall and Cassius. He’s actually more like Cass than Scout is, now that I think about it. Which is kinda surprising since you’d think Scout is more like him bc he’s got anxiety. But like, Scout is brave and strong even with his anxiety and Cass struggles to be either of those. 9. Plays innocentOh my god Sparky. It is completely canon that Sparky loves to fuck with police officers about his “innocence” and “non-Super” identity. It’s super funny. Also Clara is great at this. And Shaun. Actually most of Halls family is good at this. 10. Settles into a begrudging silence when outplayedSparky. Boy can pout. Also Clara. She does not like to be wrong, especially when arguing w her brother. 11. Changes subjects when they start to lose a debateAmirian. But like, you won’t even notice. 12. Is slow to angerCassius, Scout, Amirian, hall, and Shaun. 13. Has a hot temperSparky, Roman, Clara. 14. Is known for their rudenessSparky sort of? Like he’s just got no filter he’s not necessarily rude. But he’s known for speaking his mind and being completely brunt about what he thinks so he counts. 15. Is often accidentally rudeRoman doesn’t mean to be rude per se he just... doesn’t know/care about human “tact”. Faeries can’t lie so they just. Speak what they think. Also Hall just doesn’t like to speak to people bc he’s very closed off and Scout isn’t rude at all but people often don’t realize he’s selectively mute/hard of hearing and think he’s ignoring them. 16. Is very polite or mild manneredOh I’ve got lots of these. Scout, Halls whole family (although Clara can get very pissed sometimes. Watch out of you hurt her family) amirian is brutally polite, same with Mithe, and Cass is pretty polite but mostly it’s bc he’s too anxious to speak up about his opinions (which is sorta the same for scout but scout is better at it than Cass) 17. Is blunt or otherwise painfully honestAs mentioned, Sparky. And Roman. They’d get along I think. 18. Likes to tease others playfullySparky does (although sometimes he pushes too much) and Roman loveees to tease Cass. 19. Is seriousHall. So much Hall. He’s the black sheep from a family of sunflowers. 20. Is questioning or noseySparky and Amirian. They both want to know everything (and usually do) 21. Is secretiveHall keeps things close to his chest although he will share w close people (cough scout and sparky cough). Amirian keeps so many secrets. The only person she shares her true feelings with is Mithe, although she actually opens up to Cass at one point. 22. Does their best to seem tough or mysteriousHall. What, I said he was secretive and serious not that he wasn’t a total nerd. He likes poetry and beauty routines and fancy coffees and protects drunk girls at villain bars. Boy is far from the tough guy he looks like and pretends to be.

MONSTA X as Best Friends
this is one of my lil’ au’s that i whipped up whilst i was away with no internet. i need to write more mx stuff(: i tried anyway - i hope y’all like it.
(gif credits to the original owners)
Shownu:
(boiii look at u w that bandana !)
biggest dad friend you'll ever have in your life
makes sure you're fed
gives you lifts whenever you need one
also makes sure you never have to walk on your own.-will fight a mean s/o who he may have had a bitter disliking to anyway bc it's you
basically is super protective of u
he is always v sleepy tho, esp if you're just chilling at your place.but you forgive him bc he's an overworked dad of 6
he is super down to earth and most chill human being in your lifehe is also super dependable, and is always there when you need him
he also gives the best hugs – they're rare but bOI are they worth it
is always awkward about you seeing him at shows or watching shows he's on bc he doesn't feel like he's a big idol, he's just your best friend
but you force him to tell you when he's doing anything so you can shout the loudest
most easily mistaken for your boyfriend
is a lil' bit dense at times, and is least likely to laugh @ your jokes
doesn't get sarcasm either
he's also clumsy
but apologetic, extremely apologetic
he can be a lil' blunt and straight forward at times but he's never as bad as the 'shownubot' he is v sensitive to your emotions, and is super caring
you also see the cute side of shownu
him beaming at small animals, when he talks about his fave food or his parents
again, far from the showminator everyone sees on variety shows
buuuuuuut he's v difficult to read, thanks to that beautiful but often blank face he has
you also get really flustered when he juST strips??? boicouldunotwearepalswthpls
you look at him awkwardly but he'll either not get it or be like “what? We are friends?”
and you remember your best friend is the most endearingly dad-like human in the world and nobody can change that
Wonho:
(a d o r a b l e)
I am convinced he will just giggle 24/7
ray of sunshine hoseok will just make you so energised and happy when he's in the same room as you
which makes you fiercely protective of him
you get to see his cute, bubbly side all of the time and it's literally a goddamn blessing
you guys just eat together
you'll deliberately plan on going to different restaurants or food places just so you can sample everything
but his eyes will always light up when you say “Ramen?”
like dad!sonhyunwoo, he is fairly shy about the stuff he does and is v bashful when you compliment his idol stuff
he'll shrug it off like its nothing and you'll be like “??? ur one of the most talented people ever you can literally fite me”
wonho and you could literally make anything fun, so hanging out w each other is never ever dull like, you'll create random dumb shit to do that only kids would think of and it would be great
but he's a really sensitive and sweet friend
he just gets you, and will immediately be on the same page as you w whatever you are feeling
he is so supportive and cares about you to the moon and back
it's bloody adorable literally treasure this man
like he will literally stay up to ridiculous hours in the morning to listen to you rant or console you
(my heart is melting whilst writing this send help)
but as we found out in the monsta x ray finale, boy needs that support since he spends all of his energy worrying about his pals and like how he gets you, you completely understand him it's weird, neither of you understand how you're in so in tune w one another
but it's great honestly a++ friendship
Minhyuk:
(y’all don’t even understand how much of a look the red hair was wOW)
most of the time he just ??? you can't explain him ???
he is one of the loudest, and goofiest people you know
when you guys go out together, ppl are stunned bc he's super handsome
but you know that he's not this super cool, standoffish model-type – he's an idiot
he sends you pictures of cute animals all the time
or he tags you in them on every social media possible
and you guys watch a lot of disney
w a perfect aladdin duet where minhyuk is jasmin (ofc)
lil' dumb things like that brighten your day
he just has a knack for cheering you up
and he just radiates kindness – he's just a sweetheart
but when you guys are together, the sheer amount of noise you guys make is incredible
you guys are literally tied at the hip
you do everything together, a lot of spontaneous stuff too
lots of random sleepovers where you stay up way too late
you hang out so much, that the rest of the mx are just used to having you around
like an 8th member tbh
it gets to a point where you guys miss each other like crazy when his schedule is packed
and the guys tease that you might as well go out
but it's fine, you've both talked and thought about it (midnight chats is all I can say)
but you both know that you're more like siblings
and that's chill
like wonho, he just gets you
he knows when your sad, and exactly what to do
he'll have some takeout on speed dial and a shoulder to cry on
he's actually one of the most attentive people
and sometimes it makes you sad when people just assume he's a shallow idol
but you're just happy to have him in your life.
Kihyun:
(his lil’ smile i swEAr)
he's so sassy w you
he's literally like a middle aged mum
yes, so he's often ruthless but he gives the best advice
someone treating you like shit? cut them out
it makes him incredibly reliable
he's always got your back and is ready to stand up for you
you guys wingman for each other too
you pretend to be in a relationship to fend off unwanted ppl in clubs
people think he's adorable but you know he's cut throat – and you love it
yet, there are instances where you catch him cooing at a baby or a dog
despite appearances, he would literally drop everything for you
he's loyal
if something has happened to you, he's right there if you're crying and listening intently
he genuinely wants to give you the best advice possible
he does love you, he just has v sarcastic ways of showing it
“i mean, if you were the last person on earth sure”
and you roll your eyes and just continue
probably will ask you weird questions at 3am
doesn't get that you not responding means stop so he keeps going
he has a ripe selection of mugshots of you and will utilize them
he's probably protective in a lowkey way, like he tries not to show it
he'll walk you home w the excuse “nothing else to do”
“for a sec, I almost thought u were showing affection!” and he'll scoff
you nod in mock acknowledgement but ofc you think it's really sweet beneath the unending sass you will tease him with predebut mx and it's rich
you always tell him you bias shownu just to irritate him
“he's not even that cute” he'll mutter bitterly
doesn't mean you won't have a funny picture of kihyun as your lock screen for months
Hyungwon:
(look at this dumb dork w his dumb ass smiley cute face what a dumb human)
one of your memeist friends
sends u dumb shit even if he's sat right next to you
also your laziest friend
if you guys arrange a time to meet, you always mentally add an extra 15 minutes
bc he's always late
he's also extremely sarcastic
even if it's just through an eye roll, he's a piece of shit
he's also a lil' awkward
you first met him through the rest of the guys, and he barely spoke
you just spotted a literal model on his phone in the corner
but as you were round there more, he let himself go
and came to know the lanky piece of shit u now tolerate
very much a love-hate friendship
from afar, it looks like you guys have no boundaries and you will say anything
but both of you just toss it aside w “character building” and you laugh sometimes he's sweet and it surprises you (like w the kids ep in monsta x-ray omg)
like he'll buy some food for a homeless man, or pull a funny face at a kid on the bus
and you tease him about it again, just character building;)
he's silently supportive
he's not great at the words and talking bit, but he's happy to just sit and listen
or he will instantly know what to do, and just order some food before you say anything
so you know ppl are wrong when they say he's just a lazy and standoffish idol
but he's extremely good looking and you had to learn to avoid stares when you guys go out together
he probably has a gift he bought you abroad from 2 years ago
says he'll give it to you, but still forgets
you really hope it's not candy that went off months ago
as much as you love your best friend, you don't want mouldy sweets
Jooheon:
(cutest cutie that ever cutied)
funniest
whether he's making you laugh or you're laughing at him - he's funny
you guys were definitely childhood friends
and everyone loves him
your close family always talks about him, asks about him
he's like a brother you never had (as cheesy as that is)
most friends drift apart, especially w his idol career
but - you guys are the definition of inseparable
you met bc someone was picking on you at nursery and baby jooheon intervened
and since then, you guys have never been a part
he is v protective
even little things like accompanying you home when it's late
any partner he has to meet just to make sure they're good enough for you
you sometimes have to tell him you're okay on your own
and he'll apologise, that he's just looking out for you
he doesn't mind you ringing him at early hours when something's on your mind
and the same with you
when you guys hang out, it's simple
going out for a drive and just watching the sun go down
you'll blast your favourite music and enjoy each other's company
cheesycheesycheesy
it's like something out of a movie
he'll sometimes even treat you – like take you out to dinner or something
to say thanks for being such a good friend all this time
you tell him he's cheesy, that it's not necessary
but he just blushes a little and says it's no big deal
he's the boy you'll mum will nudge and say “oh isn't he lovely”
you'll roll your eyes and say“he's just my best friend”
but you've thought about it, trust me he's definitely thought about it
who knows, all I can say is that it could happen
I.M
( i fell in love w changkyun while writing this i am such a sap )
you guys are like the chillest pair of best friends known
that's probably bc lil' changkyun is definitely more the introvert
he would much rather retreat to his studio to unwind than go out
which you're all for
you guys sit for hours in his mini studio
you listen to his stuff, and you just beam as he talks about his passion
it just fills you w joy when your best friend is so talented and you get to hear it
you do have to bring him out of his shell a little
bc this dorky, funny side comes out that has you cackling
you guys get food together mainly
and he loves it when you cook
you also feel it your duty to take care of this smol
feed him, look after him bc he's still your lil' maknae although nobody thinks he is
but it's not patronising, he's completely chill w it
the guys joke that he had/has a major crush on you
sometimes you question it, but he's like a younger brother to you
so you just throw something at minhyuk and jooheon to end the teasing
although changkyun always gets a tad shy when they mention it ??
there's never any arguments bc you guys are so alike
you have the same music taste, like the same foods, have the same opinions, watch the same tv shows and movies
it's really weird, but neither of you are complaining
makes life 10x easier !
he always feels super bad that he can't see you more
(which is v fucking cute fite me)
so he tries to plan these elaborate well thought out days for when he gets back
but he gets really bumbly and shy about it
bc it feels like a date but it isn't but he kinda hopes it is
so you guys always opt for a night long catch up w pizza
and you don't mind bc you're happy to see your fave human
i can assure you, so is he;)
hoped you guys enjooooyed! idk, this kind of helped me suss out their characters in my head a bit more - which is nice !! ty for reading <3

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #BrunchWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #Brunchweek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.

It’s an event that’s been going on a few years and I am finally saddling up and joining in. A week-long party for crazy delicious eats centered around everyone’s favorite meal.

1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
1/3 cup sugar
1 teas salt
2 eggs
3 1/2 - 4 cups flour
For the Filling
1/2 cup peacans
1 cup nutella, warmed but not hot
1 teas cinnamon
1/2 cup chocolate chips (I used dark chocolate chips)
For the Glaze
3 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp powered sugar
1 tbsp buttermilk
1/4 teas hazelnut bakery emulsion
1/2 teas cinnamon
Preparation
For the Rolls
Mix the yeast in a mixing cup with the warmed buttermilk and allow to sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
Meanwhile, whisk the butter, sugar, salt, and eggs in a large bowl.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, add 2 cups of the flour and make a well in the center for the buttermilk. Pour the buttermilk-yeast mixture and the butter-egg mix and start mixing slowly adding in the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup at a time.
Knead on low for 5 to 10 minutes until the dough forms a ball. Add the remaining 1/2 cup if the dough is not coming together.
Transfer the dough to a grease bowl, cover and allow to rest in a warm dry area, until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
Turn the dough out onto a clean working surface sprinkled with a bit of flour. Divide in half and roll out into a large rectangle
For the Filling
Toast the pecans in a preheated oven at 400 for 5 to 7 minutes, until fragrant. Remove, allow to cool, and chop.
Spread the nutella filling evenly over the rolled out dough., leaving an inch on a long end to roll. Sprinkle with cinnamon and chopped toasted pecans.
Tightly roll towards the edge that has been left clear, and cut into equal portions.
Arrange the rolls in a grease baking dish, cut side down, and cover.
Allow to rest, 45 minutes to 1 hour, until risen again.
To Make the Chocolate chip Pecan Cinnamon Rolls
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Bake the cinnamon rolls for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
Remove from oven to cool
Make the Glaze
While the chocolate chip pecan cinnamon rolls are cooling, whisk the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar, buttermilk, hazelnut bakery emulsion and cinnamon. Spread over the cooled (but still warm) rolls and sprinkle with more toasted chopped pecans for serving.

And now I am back – and ready to speak with that voice I lost along the way and show you guys those crazy travels and mouth-watering recipes that keep me grounded and excited to create!

i woke up thinking more about my weird zelda/httyd au thing
This au thing is what I mean
Gonna put some of this under the cut b/c this is rambling between me and a friend and maybe mild spoilers? also, @shadyspeaks for the rambles and stuff.
Rebbykins: I'm not sure if my au would work for the ship b/c if Sidon is like toothless it would be weird Rebbykins: "Hylian are scared to go into the sea because of the scary Zora. Link is training to join the ranks of Zora hunters. Then he finds an injured Zora trapped in an inshore pond with a fucked up fin or idk maybe missing an arm." Rebbykins: But maybe it's not just Zora, maybe it's the other non-humanoid races Rebbykins: And through befriending Sidon, he learns the other races aren't bad either Rebbykins: And and Shadyspeaks: Ohhhh shit Shadyspeaks: That's good shit Rebbykins: Link grew up on the streets for a while before being formally taken in by the leader if the town (aka the king) because he saw "potential for this boy to do great things". Well if by "great things" he meant fail miserably as a Knight, he was right. Link has been training along side Zelda, the chief's daughter, (and insert OoT fairy kids b/c y naught.) and shows no ability to even fight a Rito. Rebbykins: What kind of injury would Sidon have tho? A missing arm, leg? Rebbykins: Something that would make it impossible for him to swim again Shadyspeaks: Hm Shadyspeaks: Perhaps something that would make it very difficult to do so effectively - like a missing eye? Rebbykins: But that wouldn't trap him anywhere Shadyspeaks: You underestimate the power of depth perception Rebbykins: Maybe missing eye and mega broken arm AND leg on the same side *** Shadyspeaks nods *** Rebbykins: So he can't swim back through the strong currents that have land locked him Shadyspeaks: "Come ON dude, I'm trying to help you! Stop trying to bite my fucking leg off!" Rebbykins: ....now, is he human intelligence or dragon is the question. Can he flipping talk Rebbykins: LOL Shadyspeaks: (cut to Sidon gnawing on Link's leg) Rebbykins: Kekeke Rebbykins: Not really trying to eat him b/c "ew this isn't fish" Shadyspeaks: Yeah Rebbykins: zora use their mouths to know their environment Shadyspeaks: Bwahahahahahaha Rebbykins: ...I think sharks actually do something like that Shadyspeaks: They do, yeah Rebbykins: Good Rebbykins: ...Link saying that and Sidon, who has not said a word in the few days Link has helped him looks up and speaks "sorry, I tend to use my mouth on new things" And links soul leaves him for like five minutes Shadyspeaks: I'm legit coughing and wheezing thanks Rebbykins: :'D Shadyspeaks: Got tears in my eyes, heart's going ninety to nothing because I was trying to laugh without air Rebbykins: "you can talk?!" "Yeah. What did you think, we're monsters?" "...yes. you destroy our ships." "You guys are hoarding fish." And he sticks out his tounge Shadyspeaks: But hold on a second Shadyspeaks: Additional issue Rebbykins: O? Shadyspeaks: Mute Link Rebbykins: OH RIHHT Rebbykins: fuck Shadyspeaks: I only ever play him mute these days, or selectively Rebbykins: I think I need to do more research on selective mutism Rebbykins: But but also Shadyspeaks: .......... Selective. Definitely selective. Link's been talking to Sidon because he thinks the Zora is just a beast, and once he speaks - whoops, he can't talk anymore Rebbykins: Fuck my next idea is kinda spoilers Rebbykins: LOL Shadyspeaks: He's ranted at the Zora for days on end about how everyone expects greatness out of him and he's trying but for fuck's sake he can't do everything they're trying to teach him or get him to do Shadyspeaks: And suddenly, nope. Nothing but grunts and squeaks. Rebbykins: And he just starts patching Sidon up in silence. Sidon tries to get Link to speak, even going as far too bring up things he had muttered himself. (Link does not like that he was listening!) "Hey, um, how's that Zelda girl you talked about?" Idk Rebbykins: ....do u know of any other Zora in the game Shadyspeaks: Mepha (I think) is his also red(or pink?) sister, father is basically a blue orca Rebbykins: Cool so not super spoiler Shadyspeaks: And I think she dies? Rebbykins: Sidon has told Link about his older sister with great detail (u know to fill the new silence), and then one day in the training ring they bring a newly caught Zora who is extremely close, if not on the nose to what Sidon's sister looks like. Shadyspeaks: <Shit how do I get her out of here?> Rebbykins: Yes Rebbykins: Either he does a big escape while everyone is watching Rebbykins: Or he does a sneak escape only to meet Zelda along the way Shadyspeaks: And more mute complications Rebbykins: LOL Rebbykins: I'd think Zelda can read Link pretty well Rebbykins: Mipha however Shadyspeaks: Oh gods Rebbykins: Snap, snap teeth, grrr, trying to bite everyone. Link just sticks his arm in her mouth Rebbykins: MAYBE Rebbykins: Maybe Zora have poor eyesight on land too Shadyspeaks: Yeah! Because fish eyes aren't designed to see out of water Shadyspeaks: Even amphibians aren't particularly good at seeing out of it Rebbykins: Zelda flinched as the Zora sank its teeth into Link. Link however stood and took the bite. The wild look in the Zora's eyes calmed and it let go of Link's arm, looking at the limb with a slight head tilt. "Ooh my, did I do that? I'm very sorry." Link shrugged and turned away, ignoring the blood dripping down his forearm. He waved a little to signal that they should move. "Link!" Zelda grabbed the upper part of his injured arm tightly. "That Zora just spoke!"
That’s all I’ve got atm~ Maybe I’ll do dabbles for this, idk.

"You learn, just as you learn good manners, how to approach things with a certain amount of Diplomacy" ~~~ Robert MacNeil
When you have Kim Jong-un & Donald Trump; 2 impulsive Psychopaths, dreadfully Callow, Egocentrics, and raving stark Narcissists…what can ever possibly go wrong??
Admiration for someone's "Leadership" in the World, should be based on his or her positive accomplishments, not on a person's constant failures in Foreign Affairs throughout the World. An Administration without a solitary sense of Wisdom or Moral Leadership cannot Lead a Nation…and consequently, because of their actions…cannot ever lead a Free World!
Diplomacy? In the Era of Trump? Where Immorality, Obscenity, crass Disrespect, Bad Manners, and Systematic Hatred reigns supreme?…Diplomacy, like Decorum…is a nasty dirty word in TrumpWorld!
Now, you got two Man-Babies holding pissing contests over waging Nuclear Annihilation. And all just for that ever-present "Limelight"!…they're both passionately in love with themselves, and in love with those Lights & Cameras. And the Notoriety that comes along…no matter whether it's the Fame or the Infamy!
There have been many models studied on ways Thermal Nuclear Warfare might be started...but, in today's world, where nothing is Traditional or Rational? Who would've ever thought both sides would be disputing, who wants to end the World, 1st??
Yes! Both sides are led by Childish, Egocentric, Spoiled Temperamental Brats! Two Big Fat grown-up Bullies, both ironically, with really tiny little hands. And just to think; These whiney little Man-Childs might be responsible for the end of this world!
Both, extremely Immoral, obscene human beings, whom neither of them understands a single meaning of Critical Thinking, nor Logic or Rationality. These two ding dongs? Basically, neither of them knows how to Reason whatsoever! Not good! when these 2 little fat clowns have matching Red Buttons at their disposal!
What civilized people understand and imbecile Trumpers can't ever get it right; If the sh*t ever hits the fan for North Korea, and the United States uses a Preemptive 1st Strike with Nuclear Warheads, the fanatic North will not ever surrender! If death is imminent, they'll simply Nuke neighboring Seoul, South Korea…and maybe Japan…before they're all vaporized together and cease to exist. "We may be Dead, but we still Win...argh"!! Yea! it's from a little movie that proves; all the Nuclear Power… without an Intelligent Leadership, doesn't really mean diddly squat!
Does anyone know the cost of waging war with North Korea? The Physical and Financial Loss? The tragic death toll in the Multimillions…at least 25 Million in North Korea? and 51.44 in South Korea? Don't forget, South Korea is among the world giants in the Auto Industry, the Tech Industry, in Commerce, and Banks! Their GDP (PPP) for 2017 is $2,030 Billion!! It'll be the Crash heard around the World! The Human Loss! and the Collapse of the World's Markets! A financial devastation unequal to anything ever seen before. The US? what's left of us?...it'll take 100 years or more, rebuilding our Society to make America Great Again!
Our problem?...and the World's?...is that we have 2 Dysfunctional Human Beings!!! One rules a Country cause he's the 3rd "God" of North Korea, following his Father, Kim Jung-iI (God II), a famed collector of Porno Flicks...and his equally crazy Grandfather, Kim il-Sung, the originator of the horsesh*t tale on how he became Korea's chosen God! This rotund little guy is sure following in the footsteps of a lot of horsesh*t! The Other? A Bullsh*t Artist, Con-Artist, Liar extraordinaire, incredibly incompetent, and a seriously inept and unqualified Humanoid to lead a Nation!...he's not even qualified to by a Father!
Don the Con is a cheat, who cheated in Politics like he cheats in life…all his life...and had Russia hand him an election, without getting a Majority! America's Leader is selected by the Majority of the American Voters….technically, he may be a leader in "Name Only" or the Leader of the entire Universe within his own imagination!…but he's not the true Leader of this Nation! The majority of the United States has already voiced 'that' opinion by who they voted for! And if the Russians did assist this Orange Clown, the legitimacy of the Election is thrown out the window…null and void! Is Trump an Illegitimate President??
When all this drama ends, if he gets his Nuke War? I 'will' guarantee you; a man disguised as a Mexican with a big mustache and a big Mexican hat will start inquiring on a Travel Visa & a one-way ticket to South America...under the name; "D. Drumpf". All those good so-called "moral" Christians may get their Armageddon opportunity, after all, thanks to their love for an Idiot, who's always full of sound & fury but never actually signifying, absolutely nothing!
America's biggest problem…and complication…in negotiating Foreign Policy, is Donald Trump. A man who doesn't listen to anyone doesn't take advice from anyone! and who truly believes he's the World's Greatest Salesman! Well? At least, He's proving one thing; He's the World's Greatest Sucker…a schmuck, who's become the easiest "Mark", World Leaders & Politicos everywhere have to exploit and manipulate to their heart's desire!
And as complications continue to set-in on the negotiation efforts by the most amateurish, unqualified State Department in American History, more complications continue to pile up for the United States…and now, just to pour a 'little' gasoline over the fire?…Vladimir Putin stated Russia will "support" North Korea Militarily if ever attacked in a Pre-emptive 1st Strike. And recently, told the United Nations he would not abide by their sanctions and continue to export Oil to Pyongyang. China too offered the same conditions for Military support and also refused to recognize the sanctions. They too will continue to export 'their' Oil to North Korea.
This whole Korean conundrum is what happens when a totally Incompetent President and a totally Incompetent State Dept. takes hold of Foreign Policy. Our Leader and his Crony Sec. of State have absolutely no experience or understanding of International Foreign Affairs, on Diplomatic Engagements and Skills, or how it all works in World Politics!! Using Military Options cause they exhausted all talks?? BULLSH*T!!
How in the hell can any talks even be held between the Countries involved, if the State Dept...with all the tension of Nuclear War and Armageddon…still has no Ambassador in place in South Korea? Or in China? Or in Japan? And no Undersecretary of State for Asian Affairs? More than 30 countries still lack US Ambassadors, Embassies under budget, and all running dangerously understaffed!!...and then, you hear the constant hypocrisy of the GOP, always bitching about Benghazi?!?! The next Benghazi? Any of a couple of Dozen Embassies with no Ambassadors, a very small Budget & a very small Staff!!!...in all seriousness, God help them!!
As tension grows, the military escalation by Korea and the US continues to grow...and while the tension of Nuclear War spreads around the World...the White House's (actually Rex Tillerson's) official schpiel on their beloved leader was; "Don't listen to what Donald Trump ever says".
Don't listen? don't Listen?? Improvising, or flat out Lies!...Donald Trump simply does not understand or just lacks the knowledge that as President of the United States...anything he says represents America's position, and is taken as his official "word". He definitely lacks the academic knowledge…or did you really expect Donald Trump to turn into a respected Gentleman, Statesman, and Scholar??
Don't believe what Trump said in the United Nations?...His speech declaring himself "Ronan the Accuser" and threatening a Wrath of Hell on North Korea? I know what Rex said after another of Trump's Rants, and Mattis made sure to say it after this speech…don't listen or believe Trump. But, you really got to feel sorry for Kelly. This man can't ever raise his head in public from the shame and embarrassment his boss brings to him! His expressions and body language say it all!
Sorry, Donny! You flunked again in the World of Diplomatic Decorum, Barack Obama you'll never be! nor will you ever reach up to his level. Which is why You, Sir! are so deeply deeply jealous of 44! Live with it, you can't change reality!
The Man-Baby War of Imbecility that can exterminate mankind. As rhetoric continues to escalate between these 2 totally incompetent fools, our readiness level is reaching "DEFCON 1"!!...the "Cocked Pistol" is loaded and ready to unload a Nuclear War!
Like Slim Pickens' Wild Ride down the B52's bomb bay doors...I believe that if Trump ever drops his damn Bomb...it's only appropriate, Trump to be 'Forced' to Ride It Down like a Bucking Bronco, and waving a Big Cowboy Hat! Yippy Kai Yay! Motherf*cker!...and Adios, Amigo!!
