#Water penetration

[xtrememetalstx]

Common Roofing Problems and Solutions

Leaks

Leaks are one of the most common roofing issues. Water penetration occurs when water seeps through cracks in your roof. Leaks often happen due to missing shingles, damaged flashing, or improperly sealed roof.

Solution: To fix leaks, start by locating the source. Inspect your roof for damaged or missing shingles and check the flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights.

Pooling Water

Flat roofs and roofs with low slopes are particularly prone to pooling water, which can lead to leaks and structural damage. Pooling occurs when water doesn't properly drain off the roof, often due to clogged or inadequate drainage systems.

Solution: Ensure your roof has an effective drainage system, including properly installed gutters and downspouts.

Punctures and Holes

Punctures and holes can occur due to various factors, such as falling tree branches, severe weather, or wildlife. These openings can allow water to enter your home, leading to damage and mold growth.

Solution: Regularly inspect your roof for punctures or holes. Small punctures can be patched with roofing cement, while larger holes may require professional repair. Trim overhanging branches to reduce the risk of falling debris causing damage.

Flashing Issues

Flashing is the material placed around roof penetrations to prevent water from entering. Over time, flashing can corrode, crack, or become detached, compromising its ability to keep water out.

Solution: Inspect your flashing regularly for signs of damage. Replace any corroded or cracked flashing, and ensure it is properly sealed.

Ventilation Problems

Proper roof ventilation is essential for regulating temperature and moisture levels in your attic. Inadequate ventilation can lead to problems like mold growth, ice dams, and premature roof aging.

Solution: If you notice signs of poor ventilation, consult a professional to assess and improve your ventilation system.

Ice Dams

In colder climates, ice dams can form when snow on the roof melts and refreezes at the eaves, creating a barrier that prevents proper drainage. Ice dams can cause significant damage to shingles, gutters, and interior spaces.

Solution: Prevent ice dams by ensuring proper attic insulation and ventilation. In severe cases, consider installing heating cables along the eaves to melt ice and facilitate proper drainage.

Moss and Algae Growth

Moss and algae can grow on roofs in humid or shaded areas, leading to shingle deterioration and potential water damage. These growths can also create an unsightly appearance.

Solution: Remove moss and algae using a mixture of water and bleach or a specialized roof cleaning solution.

Conclusion

Maintaining your roof is crucial to ensuring the longevity and safety of your home. Regular inspections will also keep your roof in excellent condition, providing you with peace of mind and a secure home.

Bubble baths

Sort of a continuation of this lyle fic, but recom now! (Mainly a surprise gift for @thevanityofthefox)

Sequel to

Summary: Recom!Lyle is a little body conscious but decides to share a bubble bath with his partner!

Warnings: Sexual content, smut, na'vi gentles differences (Will link the post if I find it but picture that scene from the shape of water)

Of all the team Lyle found himself adjusting the easiest. Miles brooded, Mansk was grumpier than normal and even Lopez wasn't up to joke around. He felt Walker and Zdog at least had more of an excuse, their biology was the most altered.

Although at least they still looked themselves downstairs. Lyle grumbled at the ken doll look he sported in the mirror. The lab coats had given them a very amusing sex ed lesson. One they could barely get through from the laughter of their audience.

He was still there, just tucked up and hidden. Suppose that explained the loin cloths their enemies wore, nothing to hide. Well not entirely true, the human DNA left him still with his happy trail.

He'd avoided being intimate with you since he'd returned. You were keen no question but he just wasn't comfortable yet. Angel you were you'd backed down, being extremely affectionate without pushing it.

It was incredibly frustrating. Of course you had no idea how bad he wanted you, innocently pecking his cheek, sharing his bed, cuddling. All perfectly tame behavior, it was Lyle's mind that kept dwelling on your touch. The feel of your hands on him, your soft flesh squishing against him under the covers.

You'd been enjoying the new facilities. Lyle's room was even bigger now at Bridgehead. Large soft bed, windows, a desk big enough for both of you and the en suite. This new bathroom had you giddy, jumping in place and holding his arm.

It was pretty nice, even he had to admit it. Walk in shower, large sink, lots of surface space and the centerpiece, a huge bath tub. This truly was massive, easily five times the size of any he'd seen before. Though with his new body it had to be. Even so he'd probably still have to raise his knees to fit but the water could go up to his chest.

He'd not been in yet. He'd joked you were never out of it to the others. Prager smiling cheekily at him from across the table.

"You could join them!" He smirked, jabbing Walker beside him.

"You better or I will!" Ja clapped his shoulder taking a seat beside him. Lyle feigned jealousy, demanding a duel for your honour. It didn't bother him, their jokes were just that and he trusted you more than anyone.

It was in that spirit he entered your shared room. The tell tale light and steam coming from the bathroom. He was being silly, he knew it. You wouldn't shame him for his new form, it was his problem and he wanted to deal with it.

He entered the room, removing his shirt and tossing it to the bed. He'd been in plenty of times while you'd bathed or showered now. There was no shyness left in you as you grinned from the tub.

"Dinner good?" You hummed, your eyes slipping closed again. You'd even lit some scented candles he'd found for you. Hell he should have got some rose petals! You looked beautiful in the bubbles, skin glowing in the dim flames.

"Mhm, nothing beats grubs and roots." He joked, new diet had been hard to adjust to. He stood at the mirror above the sink, stalling a moment. He heard you shift in the water behind him, glancing at your reflection. You moved to the edge closest to him, gazing up his bare back.

He took a deep breath, unbuckling his belt. The seconds dragged on in to infinity, it felt torturous. He watched your gaze linger on his figure, drinking in his muscled back. He remembered your first night on the base, you fingers lazily tracing his glowing freckles in the dark. His throat tightened as he unzipped his trousers, letting them fall and kicking them away.

"Mind if I join you?" He called over his shoulder, his voice calmer than he felt. His heart fluttered at your spreading grin, exited to be close to him.

"Sure!" You chirped, "Big spoon or little?" you added. It'd been a joke at first but he'd come to really enjoy being little spoon at night. Your frame wrapping around him, tucking his head to your chest, legs around his slim waist.

"Little." he decided. If he was gonna do this he wanted to relax. He heard the squeak as you shifted back to the other end of the tub. With one last gulp he dropped his pants.

There was no reaction, of course not, you'd been well aware of na'vi biology before he had. You just smiled up at him before reaching grabbing hands to him. He chuckled, stepping into the warm water and leaning back against you.

It was heavenly, the gentle scent on the bubbles and candles, the warmth of the water seeping into his skin and you hands. You rubbed bubbles up his arms, stopping to knead into the muscle of his neck. He groaned, letting the tension drift out with the sound. His tail shifted uncomfortable before he moved it to curl around your waist.

He felt you legs on either side of his own clench together slightly before your hands continued to his scalp. You rubbed the skin as Lyle relaxed further, slipping down your chest a little. He felt amazing, cursing himself for not enjoying this luxury sooner. When your massage ended your hands slipped forward to rest on his chest, giving his peck a playful squeeze.

He laughed a little, before he felt you kiss against his neck. It was just a peck, you weren't pushing things but oh what it did to him. He let his hand glide down your thigh, feeling your breath hitch behind him. One thing was glad for now, was that he could literally smell your arousal. Even past the soap and candles your scent was the sweetest thing.

Lyle sat up twisting to rest his back on the other side of the tub. He smirked across at you, now able to see the blush tipping your ears. He reached his hands out, beckoning you to join him. You rose to your knees, giving Lyle a good show of your chest. Water and soap tracing down your form as he stared, desperate to engrave the sight into his mind.

You took his arms, Lyle tugging you to him. The water sloshed, spilling out onto the tiles. Neither of you could find it in yourselves to care for a little mess right now. Both caught so strongly by the others gaze. Now closer you shifted up, climbing into Lyle's lap.

He felt his core twitch, an aching in him stronger than he'd ever felt. A drive to be closer, his tail reacting on its own, wrapping round your thigh. He trailed his hands up your spine, your body arching against his own. Closer, he needed to be closer.

Your hands cupped his cheeks, silent question hanging between you both. You were too sweet, still waiting to be sure he was ready. Lyle answered with a kiss, heated and greedy.

His hands tangling into your hair, tilting your head to deepen the connection. He nipped gently at your lips, weary of fangs before trailing his kiss to your jaw. He felt your hands gripping his shoulders, your hip now grinding down against him.

He muffled his moans into your neck, sucking and nipping where your scent grew stronger. Your whimpers above him were driving him wild. His hips bucked up against yours desperate for friction.

Lyle let a hand slip down, grazing against your hardened nipple on his way down. You whined, body so sensitive under his touch. Maybe from the weeks without his attention or maybe just your own changes. Whatever it was it didn't matter, it drove him feral to hear your reactions.

He tipped you back to mouth at your chest, while his hand slipped between you both. You moaned out his name, Lyle's ears flicking at the wanton sound, focusing forward desperate for more.

He rubbed languid circles against you, savoring the way you tensed and writhed. Your nails digging into his arms, even the sting was exquisite. He felt his own need growing, desperate for more. The driving need to be closer still.

He reached to his own, feeling the hardened tip pocking there, the need almost painful. He pressed in and up under it, the strange new sensation making his eyes roll back. He unfurled, his hard cock bouncing up against you.

He tipped his head to meet your gaze. Your hooded eyes staring down only looked hungry. Your hand slipping bellow the water to curl around him. Lyle sucked air in through his teeth at your touch, hands darting to the tubs sides for support.

You gently explored his length, excited by the feeling of hard ridges, wondering just how magnificent he'll look out of the obscuring water. You rose, hand aligning him to your entrance before locking eyes again.

Lyle's pupils were blow, almost black in the dim light. His mouth slack as he took in the sight. You sat, sliding down his length in one motion, keening at the sudden stretch. Still it was worth it for the sound Lyle made, an animalistic growl that set your hairs on end. His hand gripping your hips to grind you against him.

You rose again, slapping back down, Lyle grunting and bucking with you. His head diving down to your throat again latching on as you road him. You were sure you were covered in love bites but you couldn't care. Your need driving your hips deeper down, grinding after your own high.

He could feel you getting close, the fluttering walls tightening against him driving him deeper. His hand slipped back down, needing to add more sensation, craving your release around him. You chanted his name in his ear, unable to form any other word past the moans.

He was edging closer himself, keeping pace despite the dizzying pleasure. Just a little longer, he needed to hear you first, need to feel it.

Your orgasm crashed against you, crying out as waves of it coursed through you, gripping onto Lyle. He was barely a second behind, the sudden rush of warmth, the tight spasm, your voice, it was all too much. You road out your high, stilling against his stuttering hips as it passed.

Both your chests heaved in rhythm together. Lyle whispered praises against your skin, leaving open mouthed kisses up until he reached your lips.

He kissed you gently, hands stroking your hair delicately before pulling away to admire your blissed out expression. He kissed the tip of your nose, watching your eyes refocus and letting out a giggle. The movement making him twitch inside you.

"Again?" Your eyes widened, a small smiles spreading across your swollen lips. Lyle leaned in to kiss you again, sure he'd never want to stop.

There is something wonderful about going deeper with a toy than you did last time. Fitting a new toy even though it's a struggle. The feeling of it all being "way too much" but knowing "its not enough".

Fucking yourself stupid till you piss everywhere and can't stop.

The deep sensations you feel.

Overwhelming yet addictive.

[loopholes-and-wishes]

that's so cool that you study sex + psychology!! i think that stuff is sooo interesting, esp as an ace person - i joke that sex and especially kink are one of my special interests. at the very least it's a lens through which i love exploring my other interests! i don't suppose you have any recs for like interesting books or articles that are suitable for an amateur in the field? learning some actual theory seems super fun!

Oooohhh my god you have activated my trap card. I get to talk about some of my favourite documentaries. So!! So!! Most of the time I can't rec books as they tend to be very specific to subsections in fields such as shibari, BDSM, Dark Triads, taboo subject matters (Philias), and similar subject! But for an over view, I can recommend Psychology of Human Sexuality by Justin J. Lehmiller which is the textbook I used for my own classes as it gives an overview of every general field of sexuality.

But! But! I can give some specific documentaries as suggestions! First, I would suggest the video "The wheel of consent" by betty martin on youtube! It has a very interesting perspective on consent and how the different variations of it can play out in sexual scenes as well as platonic scenes. IIRC she has a longer version of this video, but the one I used for studies was this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auokDp_EA80

Another documentary is!!! Sex on Wheels! Which is an interesting documentary on sexuality and disabilities, and how people view it. There are a lot of variation in disabilities present, how long the individual has lived with it, and their opinions on their own autonomy as a person, and how that interacts with their sex lives versus romantic lives. I can't seem to find it on Youtube even though thats where I watched it ;-; it might have gotten deleted? So I'll add a link to the wiki instead https://docuwiki.net/index.php?title=Sex_on_Wheels

As for articles, my professor suggested a sex shops blog! If you have a local adult store, or sex dungeon, they will most likely have classes or a blog that will discuss overviews on toys, lubes/and other lubricants, bondage, Dom/subbing, and how sexuality may impact lives. While I do have one on the ready, I dont feel comfortable sharing it due to the fact it would expose where I live, sorry!!! ;-;

Now! Now! If you have specific kinks or subjects you want articles on, Im happy to look them up and see if I can find ones that you dont need access to databases for or books on the subject matter. I dont want to accidentally send one you might get triggered by ;;;;;;;; so it might be easier if you asked for specifics instead of me just suggesting random subjects ;;;;; (sorry if this is less than what you wanted!!! I have a few things I keep close to my chest just in case it triggers people because as I do study psychology alongside sex I tend to read about INCREDIBLY TRAUMATIC STUDIES AND HISTORICAL ACCOUNTS (like the first vibrators and their history))

Sex in the bath is one of those things that I absolutely wish worked because it would be really hot but unfortunately doesn't.

Cordelia Lunaris

What if... Bella Swan has older half sisters that she dosen't like very much.

Before Charlie Swan married to Reneé Higginbottom, he was happily married to a beautiful woman by the name Cassandra Lunaris they are happily married to one another for 7 years and they even have two beautiful daughters the 4 years old Cordelia Helena and the 1 year old Evie Rose Swan when Renée Highinbottom appeared in their life ruwin their family.

When Reneé came to the picture she came seduce Charlie Swan even though she knows that his's a married man butbshe didn't care. It only took her 3 weeks to find out she's pregnant and she has the audacity to show up at his door so suddenly and give him the news that she is currently pregnant with his child in frontbof his own wife which reveal his transgression to his wife. Which lead to Cassandra leaving him with no backward glace taking their two daughters with her.

which leave Charlie no choice but to marry Reneé Higginbottom even if he has no feelings for her. Insure the child reneé carries isn't born out of wedlock.

Reneé Swan née Higginbottom was hoping without Cassandra in the way she will get money from her rich father In-Law Geoffrey Swan , but unfortunely for Reneé, Geoffrey Swan did not believe that Isabella marie Swan is Charlie's daughter or if she is he dosen't accept her as his granddaughter so when he died Reneé receive no money after her father in law died since all his fortune was split in half between his oldest granddaughter Cordelia & Evie Swan and he gaved son Charlie a small portion of his fortune but he would be unable to accest them so long as he remain married to Reneé and support Bella Swan.

With Reneé not getting any money since the only reason she is even remain married to chsrlie was because of the money he was suppose to inherite when his father died but even the small portion he was givven he has no accest so long as he remain married to her and support her daughter. The money that she should have got went to Charlie & Cassandra's two daughters. So their was no reason for her to remain married to charlie, she soon divorce Charlie when her daughter Isabella Marie Swan turn 1 years old.

unknown to her ex- husband charlie that Cassandra Lunaris is a powerful witch from the Lunaris witch line, so powerful that she could go as far control the wheather and natural disasters such as Tsunamis, thunderstorms,cyclone, and eathquake. Most witches that came from the mainline of Lunaris witchline could do the same but not to the degree that Cassandra herself could.

That no other witchline would dare to attack a Lunaris witch not even a Bennett and Clair witch working together would ever dare attack only a fool witch would think they could ever bested a Lunaris witch and survive.

Since a Lunaris witch dosen't need the help of their ancestors help to do any powerful magic unlike other witch lines.

Cassandra Lunaris and her two young daughters moved to Greece where they lived for 5 years and their mother allow them to visit the unwanted child of that harlot woman who ruwin their family who also visit their dad who was hoping we get along with our so call half sister when she is spiteful and a doubleface for a 5 years old child which her harlot mother surely teach her so getting alot with will never happen.

when I was 10 years old mother moved Evie and I to a town callled Mystic Fall Virginia where I befriend Caroline Forbes along with meeting Elena Gilbert and Bonnie Bennett who seem to single herout every time it seem that Caroline need better best friends if this is how she is treated all I could do was be their for her when she need me.

While my sister Evie Lunaris befriend the younger brother of Elena Gilbert his name is jeremy Gilbert who seem to be overshadow by his sister that his own parents don't pay attention to him at all that our mother Cassandra became mother figure he needed in his life. That he spend more time in their home than his own that he became like the younger/older brother they never had.

Jeremy Gilbert is alot closer to Evie and Cordelia Lunaris than his own sister Elena Gilbert since she never bother to get to know me so I did the same along with my parents it feels like I'm living with a bunch of strangers instead of my parents and sister really.

7 years later...

Miranda and Grayson died last summer during an accident when their car end up at the bottom the lake that died. While Jeremy is sad the death of his parents but it didn't affect his life that much since they were really never their for him the one who was their in his life was Cassandra Lunaris.

Jenna Sommers can't take care of two teenager so Cassandra decided to adopt Jeremy Gilbert as her own if she allow it which she did since Jenna onows that Jeremy always seen Cassandra Lunaris as a mother even before her death.

Not that Elena Gilbert mind since she would have all the attention instead of it beging divided between them.

By then Cordelia Helena Swan is now 17 years old and has became a full witch like her mother she also have full control of natural disasters such as Hurricane, Blizzards, Snowstorm,and ice storms. She has full control of the natural disaster that she was able manipluate.  

While Jeremy Gilbert-Lunaris is now 15 years old he was doing pretty well after Cordelia, Evie and Cassandra help him get over his parents death not that their death impact him that much since he isn't that close with them but they were still his parents so he was still sad about their death.

Then their Evie Lunaris who is 12 years old ago is still a witch in traing and she is trying to control the natural disasters she could control such as thunderstorms, storm surge, and Wildfires, but she still trying control them full unlike her sister who has full control of the natural disaster she could manipulate.

by then both both Cordelia and herself has stop visit their father in forks washington. Since they both can't stand bella Swan even the Black Twins Rachel and Rebecca black can't stand her two with how she always try to boss them around, I mean who dose she think she is the Queen England.

(This is Cassandra Lunaris )

Cassandra Lunaris still look pretty young for a woman who give birth to two daughters and she is dating one of kings of the Cold one the one who reputation of most ruthless of the three king and the one who has strong dislike for werewolves. At one point he was alived he was married to a vampire coldone by the name athenodora who he divorce after meeting their mother who was his true mate about 7 years ago so they see him alot evenutally saw him as their own father. He even adopted Jeremy as his own son he is the father figure Jeremy has growing up that his own father should had been with him.

Cordelia and Evie Lunaris love Caius as their father even more than their own biological father Charlie Swan; Caius Volturi also love them like his own children. Their mother Cassandra would be change to a cold one soon. After turning into a cold one she kept her magic unlike what would had happen had she turn into a traditional witch she would have loss her magic. She is also a gifted vampire she has the gift of matter Manipulation. Which makes her very powerful vampire

It wasn't long before Elena Gilbert somehow gotten envolved with the Salvator brothers and Bonnie Bennett began her witch traing her powers finally show it's self. Which she basicly became Elena Gilbert's personal witch who she go to to bail her out of travel she get herself in trouble. Even after all this time they still singleout Caroline and they never seem to notice so it was no suprise to Cordelia that Carolina became insecure of always coming secound to Elena Gilbert she was never anyone's first choice.

Caroline Forbes change when Kathrine Pierce who share the same face as Elena gilbert change Caroline Forbes to a vampire to send her doppleganger and her Salvatore boy toys a message and every since then Caroline distance herself from Cordelia to keep her away from the supernatural unknown to her she was born in it so no one in Mystic Fall knows that she's a powrrful witch which they would never know since Cordelia refuse to be Elena's personal witch like Bonnie and the same could said about Evie.

Elena Gilbert want them away from the supernatural even more after she was sacrifice by original Hybrid Klaus Mikaelson and Aunt Jenna died use as the Vampire sacrifice to break his curse which made Jeremy Offically orphane. Elena was given to custody to her Aunt's boyfriend Alaric Ssltzman after Jenna died.

The Lunaris finally decided to move and leave Mystic fall behind which Jeremy didn't mind they move to Italy to be near Caius and with Cordelia graduating high school a year early.

And she gotten accepted in Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna early than expected so they move to Italy while Jeremy and Evie transfer to Italy in St. Stephen's School without problem and Jeremy offical cut ties to his so call sister Elena Gilbert who turn out to be his cousin instead of sister he was lead to believe all his life and even then his parents cared more about their adopted daughter than their only son.

During Cassandra Lunaris and Caius Volturi's wedding they found out that the 18 years old Cordelia Helena Lunaris-Swan is the mate of the tracker of the Volturi guard and it's non other than Demetri Volturi. It ws also discovee that Demetri wasn't the only Volturi guard who found their mate that day but so has Alec Volturi the twin brother of Jane Volturi one of the known as the Witch twin who found his mate in the 13 years old Evie Rose Lunaris-Swan. Corin Volturi who is also member of the Volturi guard in the 15 years old Jeremy Lunaris-Gilbert the adopted son of Cassandra Volturi. She was mostly frequently assigned to keep Sulpicia the wife of Aro company and at one point Athendora as well when Caius was married to her.

The three guards decided to get to know their mate who would evenutally join their rank when the time comes they turn as the Princesses and Prince of Volturi beging the three children of their King Caius Volturi.

(Cordelia Helena Lunaris-Swan at 17 years old)

The longer Demetri to get to know his mate the more he fell in love and he never thought he would ever fall in love with anyone and stop his casanova ways until he meet his beautiful Jewel, Cordelia.

Evie got along with her mate even with Jane who were said to be heartless and could careless about Human and the same could be said with Alec but here he is slowly fallin in love with his human mate a mate he never thought he had.

Jeremy never thought he would ever find someone who would love him but here he is finding out that he is the human mate of this beautiful Vampire. The more they get to know one another the more they fall in love with each other.

Demetri & Alec were assigned to keep Cordelia, Evie and Jeremy safe until they turn.

3 years later...

(Evie Rose Lunaris-Swan at 16 years old)

Evie Lunaris-Swan decided to change to a vampire at 16 years old which her parents didn't mind and their father Caius change her to a cold one she burn for 3 days before waking half-cold one and half witch she is also gifted like her mother she has the give of Fire Manipulation. Alec help his mate Evie adjust to her new vampire life. And with Evie having the gift of fire makes her hard to kill especially since she's also a powerful witch like her mother and sister and now full train.

They heard from their biological father Charlie that their so call half sister Bella stop visiting forks when she turn 14 years old since it rain to much to her liking. Which would devested him when they fake Evie's death along with Cordelia next year after she graduate University and by then shr would already be 20 years old. Jeremy would also be change that year when he turn 19 years old.

A year later...

When Elena Gilbert heard the death of her brother Jeremy Gilbert she was devested the only family she has left is now dead she completly alone with Jeremy now dead and she never had the chance to apologize for everything she ever did grewing up and never been a proper sister to him.

Cordelia Helena Lunaris-Swan is now half cold one and half witch like their mother and sister, but unlike when her mother change for 3 days it took her 7 days to change into a vampire it was the longest change anyone know of and she woke up eyes stay same color as when she was human but they know she is a vampire especially when before she woke her heart stop beating for a minute until it start again but it slower than human's heart beat it dound more like a butterfly's fluttering wings. She also has a gifts like her mother and sister, she has the gifts of Mental/Physical Shield, Shield Penetration, and all form of Water Manipulation which makes her more powerful than her sister and could possibly rival that of her mother.

Jeremy woke 4 days before Cordrlia woke up and he also has a unique gifts like his sisters and mother he had the gift Umbrakinesis to Psychically generate and manipulate darkness and shadow from will and he also the gift Tychokinesis which allow him to Psychically manipulate chance, probability and luck.

2 years later...

It took only two years for Jeremy and Cordelia to full control their gift and become good fighter it didn't help anything that before they were change to cold one vampires they train in many different such as Aikido, Kickboxing, kung fu, Tai Chi, Nippon Kempo, and Sambo at such young age the same could be said with Evie and it didn't help that Demetri train them as well along with Felix who happen to be the Volturi executioner.

By that time Cordelia and Demetri are already married and charlie swan isn't invited since their death was already faked a few years ago but their mother was happy for them. Alec & Evie were also married by then.

One day Edward Cullen came to volterra italy to ask the king to kill him because blood singer died after leaving her in the forest of all place and he had the audacity to ask the king to kill him but Aro refuse to do so because he was gifted with power to read anyone's mind but with Cordelia's Mental Shield up he was unable to read anyones mine in throne room.

(This is caius Volturi and let's pretend he is younger than Aro and Marcus)

Caius Volturi think that Edward is stupid and pathetic for wanting to die when his own blood singer when she wasn't even his true mate if she was his true mate he would have undrrstand wanting to join her in death but the girl was nothing but his blood singer. Who he allow to know their existen when it was against the law to allow a human to know their existen even going so far as leave the said himan without changing or killing the girl.

With king refusing his request he tried to expose himself in order to die but before anyone except for one child saw him Bella Swan his blood singer who he thought died push him back inside before anyone else had the chance to see him which force Edward Cullen and Bella Swan along with Alice Cullen to have an audience with kings and the Cullen coven was summon to italy after Edward try to expose to them to humans to discuss his punishment along with letting a human know their existen leaving the girl for a year without changing her.

And they also receive news that they killed one of a mated pair in order to save the girl and stop the change from happening. The Cullens dreaded what would become their family should the kings punish them if their family would still exist after having the audience with the kings.

when Bella Swan, Edward & Alice Cullen enter the throne room lead by Demetri,

Bella quickly spotted the 22 years old Cordelia in the room still beautiful than she was when shs last saw her but I heard she supposely die but here dhe is infront of her standing only a couple feet away from in the throne room.

(This is Cordelia Helena Volturi née Lunaris Swan at 22 years old)

Bella didn't only spoted Cordelia but she also saw her Evie and as a beautiful Vampire at that and a member of the most powerful and feared Vampire Coven which only made bella jealousy for Cordelia and Evie grew stronger every minute they stay in the same room.

"Well...well look what the cat drag in"Cordelia said looking at bella's direction with distain in her voice clear for anyone to tell.

"Well would you look at the bitch that I never thought we'll see again is standing infront us once more" Evie said looking at Bella with knowing smirk. Which bella didn't like one bit while Edward is looking around the throne room trying to read anyone's mind but the moment they walk in and the door close he can't read anyones mind which didn't calm down his nerve one bite and it didn't help anything that bella began acting weird after seeing two red head standing near Caius.

Edward Cullen become anxious because of how bella is acting that it cause him to attack Cordelia Volturi not knowing the consequence should he injure cordelia at all.

Demetri notice that Edward Cullen to attack his mate because Anxiety that he quickly hot in fron of his mate before Cullen's attack could land on his mate before taking hold on one of Edward Cullens arm before throwing him across the room.

" Carlisle not only have your son reveal Vampires to this human and now he just tried to attack one of my daughters" caius said gritting while looking at the Cullens with hard look in his eyes after Edward try to attack cordelia.

"Cullen how dare you try to attack my mate without provocation" Demetri growled at Edward Cullen standing in front of Cordelia.

Which the Cullens gasp not only has edward try to attack Caius's daughter and she also turn out to Demetri's mate which things would only go bad from their if Edward and Bella provoke the Volturi especially Cordelia and Demetri. They don't want to anger the Volturi than they slready are with the discovery that they allow a human who isn't even a mate of one of them to know the existence, they would be lucky if Edward and bella would be alive even if they somehow leave Italy they would be watch 24/7 after this.

We weren't even aware that Bella isn't even his true mate, she was only his blood singer nothing more if we had known this we would had never allow him to get close to bella at all.

The kings gaved them a choice either change or kill the girl, edward tried to prevent bella from changing since he dosen't want to condem her soul to hell but he was hold back by both Demetri and Felix and force him to watch as his blood singer was change to a vampire right in front of him. She burn for three days before turning to a vampire having a mental shield like Cordelia but her shield is alot weaker than Cordelia's own.

With Bella now a vampire the Cullen were force to fake her death. Bella was change to a vampire the Cullens and her left Italy. And they moved in Alaska where the Cullens introduce Bella to their cousin Denali Coven but Irina Denali wasn't thrill of meeting Bella who was the cause of her mate Laurent but never the less she didn't say anything no matter how she made Bella unwellcome it would never bring her mate back.

The cullen try to ask Bella how she knows Cauis two daughters but she always aviod talking about it so they all stop asking her about it.

It wasn't long after that Chelsea's hold on Caius, Alec, Corin, Demetri, Cordelia, Evie, Jeremy and Jane broke after that Cordelia put her mental and physical shield on all of them at all time so the Chelsa couldn't influencing their emotion and Alice couldn't even see them with her sheild up.

It wasn't long before they left the Volturi without any backward glace to their former coven and created their own a new Coven the Lunaris. Who moved in Greece hidden away from Humans and with Evie, Cordelia and Cassandra creating a Daylight ring for them all but they modify spell for Cold one so instead of it preventing the user to burn in the sun it prevent them shinning like giant disco ball and it also hide their true eye color from humans, so they can mingle with human if they want. Which the Lunaris coven members has multiple daylight jewelry on their person just to be safe.

4 years later...

The Lunaris Coven heard that the Volturi was ambushed by the Romanian coven and they were all killed especially Chelsa and Aro. And they know that Marcus wouldn't fight back he had been wanting to die since the moment his true mate Didyme but Aro stop it from happen with the help of Chelsa's power, which only cause Marcus pain of beging unable to join his mate.

They also heard that Edward Cullen married his fromer blood singer Bella Swan since he didn't believed Marcus when he told him that she was nothing but his blood singer not his mate.

Cordelia and Demetri Lunaris also has some unexpected news 4 years ago, Cordelia end up pregnant which suprise the two but never the less they are happy to have a child of their own which is something they never thought would happen but it did, the two have a 4 years old beautiful daughter by the name of Amore Cadenza Lunaris.

(Amore Cadenza Lunaris, at 4 years old)

She is a beautiful little girl who is born half Vampire and half Witch, who love sing and she's a great singer for a little girl and she's a talent painter as well.

(Bella Cullen née Swan at the age 23 but Physically 18 years old )

Bella Cullen never thought that she would ever get divorce from the love of her life but here she is getting divorce after beging married for 4 years they getting divorce after Edward meet his true mate Alina Ross. I always thought that I was Edward's mate but as it turn out I am nothing but his blood singer maybe if we had believed Marcus Volturi 4 years ago it wouldn't be this painful to watch the man she love fall for his mate but I was stupid enough not to believe what Marcus said. So here I am divorce while Edward recently got married to his human girlfriend.

With Alina Culllen née Ross beging Human somehow end up pregnant with Edward's child and he was not willing to lose his mate so when alina give birth he quickly injected his venom inside his wife and mate as she burn for 3 days. Edward stayed with Alina who changing to a Vampire. While Rosalie Cullen watch his daughter Elizabeth Rose Cullen.

The moment Rosalie meet Elizabeth she quickly love the little girl. She was name as the godmother by both Edward and Alina.

Bella decided to leave the Cullen coven and become a nomad since she can't watch the man she still love have a family she could never have with him. So she left with Alice and others understand.

[mcmansionhell]

we've found it folks: mcmansion heaven

Hello everyone. It is my pleasure to bring you the greatest house I have ever seen. The house of a true visionary. A real ad-hocist. A genuine pioneer of fenestration. This house is in Alabama. It was built in 1980 and costs around $5 million. It is worth every penny. Perhaps more.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "Come on, Kate, that's a little kooky, but certainly it's not McMansion Heaven. This is very much a house in the earthly realm. Purgatory. McMansion Purgatory." Well, let me now play Beatrice to your Dante, young Pilgrim. Welcome. Welcome, welcome, welcome.

It is rare to find a house that has everything. A house that wills itself into Postmodernism yet remains unable to let go of the kookiest moments of the prior zeitgeist, the Bruce Goffs and Earthships, the commune houses built from car windshields, the seventies moments of psychedelic hippie fracture. It is everything. It has everything. It is theme park, it is High Tech. It is Renaissance (in the San Antonio Riverwalk sense of the word.) It is medieval. It is maybe the greatest pastiche to sucker itself to the side of a mountain, perilously overlooking a large body of water. Look at it. Just look.

The inside is white. This makes it dreamlike, almost benevolent. It is bright because this is McMansion Heaven and Gray is for McMansion Hell. There is an overbearing sheen of 80s optimism. In this house, the credit default swap has not yet been invented, but could be.

It takes a lot for me to drop the cocaine word because I think it's a cheap joke. But there's something about this example that makes it plausible, not in a derogatory way, but in a liberatory one, a sensuous one. Someone created this house to have a particular experience, a particular feeling. It possesses an element of true fantasy, the thematic. Its rooms are not meant to be one cohesive composition, but rather a series of scenes, of vastly different spatial moments, compressed, expanded, bright, close.

And then there's this kitchen for some reason. Or so you think. Everything the interior design tries to hide, namely how unceasingly peculiar the house is, it is not entirely able to because the choices made here remain decadent, indulgent, albeit in a more familiar way.

Rare is it to discover an interior wherein one truly must wear sunglasses. The environment created in service to transparency has to somewhat prevent the elements from penetrating too deep while retaining their desirable qualities. I don't think an architect designed this house. An architect would have had access to specifically engineered products for this purpose. Whoever built this house had certain access to architectural catalogues but not those used in the highest end or most structurally complex projects. The customization here lies in the assemblage of materials and in doing so stretches them to the height of their imaginative capacity. To borrow from Charles Jencks, ad-hoc is a perfect description. It is an architecture of availability and of adventure.

A small interlude. We are outside. There is no rear exterior view of this house because it would be impossible to get one from the scrawny lawn that lies at its depths. This space is intended to serve the same purpose, which is to look upon the house itself as much as gaze from the house to the world beyond.

Living in a city, I often think about exhibitionism. Living in a city is inherently exhibitionist. A house is a permeable visible surface; it is entirely possible that someone will catch a glimpse of me they're not supposed to when I rush to the living room in only a t-shirt to turn out the light before bed. But this is a space that is only exhibitionist in the sense that it is an architecture of exposure, and yet this exposure would not be possible without the protection of the site, of the distance from every other pair of eyes. In this respect, a double freedom is secured. The window intimates the potential of seeing. But no one sees.

At the heart of this house lies a strange mix of concepts. Postmodern classicist columns of the Disney World set. The unpolished edge of the vernacular. There is also an organicist bent to the whole thing, something more Goff than Gaudí, and here we see some of the house's most organic forms, the monolith- or shell-like vanity mixed with the luminous artifice of mirrors and white. A backlit cave, primitive and performative at the same time, which is, in essence, the dialectic of the luxury bathroom.

And yet our McMansion Heaven is still a McMansion. It is still an accumulation of deliberate signifiers of wealth, very much a construction with the secondary purpose of invoking envy, a palatial residence designed without much cohesion. The presence of golf, of wood, of masculine and patriarchal symbolism with an undercurrent of luxury drives that point home. The McMansion can aspire to an art form, but there are still many levels to ascend before one gets to where God's sitting.

So annoying that sex in water looks really hot but doesn’t feel good

This is the bullet Mohammed's sister was shot with

Please don't scroll past.

The bullet entered her thigh bone, exited, and then partially penetrated her shin bone. Below are two more photos Mohammed sent me so that you can see the sheer scale of this bullet:

The operation to remove it was successful, but Mohammed, his sister, and the rest of their family are still trapped in Gaza, facing shooting and bombing that has already killed 10 other family members. This is the danger they live with constantly.

Mohammed and I have been talking, and he asked me to share the following message with all of you:

This is the bullet that penetrated my sister’s body. Look at its size, and after she bled a lot of blood while waiting for the operation. Thank God, the operation was successful, but I am publishing the pictures in order to show you that we are facing the biggest criminals in the world and we are powerless. I hope you will help me take care of my sister and her children. Because everything is expensive and does not exist, I hope that you will spread the story to the whole world so that it can see these heinous crimes

Before October, he had a house and his own company. Now, he and his family have been displaced multiple times, and struggle to access clean water, food, and necessary medical treatments.

Please help my friend out as much as you can: reblog his campaign, share it on any other platforms you may have, and donate whatever you can spare. No amount is too small; every little bit will help him get closer to ensuring safety and a future for himself and his family.

In the last 24 hours, the campaign has raised kr2,098 SEK, or approximately $193 USD. Please, don't let this momentum die down. They have still received less than 10% of their total goal, and have a long way to go with your help.

There's only 3 people Simon follows on social media. Gaz, Soap... and a pornstar he's been obsessed with for months.

He loves coming back from missions and seeing you promoting your new content on Twitter, always getting fucked by a different person— never the same man or woman twice.

He'd be lying if he said he doesn't think he can fuck you better than the men jackhammering into you without care, or the women who keep staring at the camera rather than focusing on your lovely body. He could do it so much better, stuffing your pretty cunt full of eight inches of thick, veiny meat.

Warm water runs down his body as he rubs his throbbing cock, calloused hands toying with the angry, red tip before he smears it all over his shaft, almost cumming at the wet sound that rings around the shower when he jerks off again.

His leaking precum sticks to his hand, begging him to keep going while he scrolls down your Twitter. Half-lidded brown eyes struggle to stay open when he sees a new photo of you, groaning at the way your bright smile overpowers the thick cum smeared all over your lovely tits, looking so proud of finishing another man off and getting marked.

His boner is almost painful at this point. He's sure his arm is going to get a cramp after this, but he's too far gone to care.

Simon's fantasies run wild as he keeps scrolling and liking your new content. He's barely lucid enough to register the newest video, looking at the skimpy clothing you're wearing being ripped off by an older man, cock thrusting into you wildly, almost punishingly. There's nothing more lovely than your expression when you get penetrated, wide eyes looking at the camera and pretty lips turned into an "o" shape before you smile, clearly enjoying every single inch of meat stuffed into your needy cunt.

“Fuck.” His hand works faster down his shaft, the familiar tight feeling in his heavy balls returning while he lets out a low moan. A tidal wave of euphoria hits him when his half-lidded brown eyes return to the video, muscles flexing and tensing up as he releases thick ropes of cum onto the floor, letting the water wash it away.

His hips buck uncontrollably as he squeezes the last drops of thick cum out of his cock with a couple of low groans, hand finally slowing down.

His muscles finally relax, chest rising up and down while he tries to recover from the intense orgasm. He can't help but look at the ropes of release being washed away, secretly hoping they were in you instead.

His phone vibrates in his hand, and he immediately looks at it with a raised eyebrow, breath catching in his throat when he reads the notification announcing that you follow him back.
