Paulina and Hambone 😭🙌

I need them 🙏

PAULI AND HAMBONE ARE SO SPECIAL TO ME!!!!!!! (you don't understand ive been itching to write them and just haven't had time and now i feel the need to write them so HERE IS A SNIPPET!!!!!!)

(i think we all need a little more howard 'hambone' hamilton in our lives, right?)

"What's that?" Hambone asked, nodding to the letter in her hand. Albeit, the letter was in fact more of a statement - a broad generalization, a solid 'goodbye', a 'no longer want to be seen with you', a rather heartfelt and truthful 'we're through'. She didn't know how else to put it, but it certainly was something she felt ready to discuss with someone quite yet - even the Silver Bullets crew - especially someone, like Hambone, that she'd just met. It was humiliating enough that she still was holding onto this letter like she was going back to home, to him, after all this. "Uh…." Paulina started, staring at the letter 'Dear Pauli' - still with that stupid nickname she'd asked him to quit calling her. That was reserved for her parents - not him. Especially not him. Especially now, after wanting to break this off. After everything. "A letter." she supplemented, folding it quickly between her calloused fingers, ignoring the bubble of emotion inside her as she looked upwards at Hambone again, sticking the crumpled letter in her pocket and smiling. Picking up her drink she nodded, took back a sip and sighed. "Not the best type of letter." she offered, watching his gaze as he carefully seemed to watch her back, "But. A letter. Can't complain." Hambone continued to sit there quietly for a moment, the ruckus and loud-mouthed cackles behind them mixing with the hum of music and glass clinks. It almost felt comical. None of the men owed the women anything - Birdie had told them she'd learned that the hard way. But going out of their way to bridge the gap? Paulina looked at Hambone again - perfectly gelled and styled hair (enough to match that of Douglass), those golden teeth, that….squirrel on his upper lip he called a mustache. Paulina stopped her train of thought. She'd just met the guy - he was that one Lieutenant's bombardier right? Brady? "I'm sorry," Hambone said quickly with a nod, fingers nervously tapping on the beer glass as he shook his head, shooting a smile on his face, "I shouldn't have asked. First impressions, amiright?" Paulina watched him, the corner of her lip perking upward. Emotion swelled in her thoughts, throughout her mind as she thought of first impressions. Meeting Dean, that first night together, all those promises, those broken words. Sitting in front of a bombardier from the Midwest with whom she'd just met, but almost felt more respected by than the person who had said he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. Swallowing she looked to Hambone again. "No, no, don't worry," she said, waving him off, offering a smile and twiddling her fingers together in her lap, "If you don't mind distracting me, I'd love to hear why you're called Hambone and not Handsome, huh?" Alright, that was pretty bad, but he had a face, that's all she could think. A chuckle escaped Hambone's lips as he leaned back in his chair, crossing his legs as he sipped his drink, a grin riding his lips as she sat there, smirking. A little bold, a little punchy - if Dean were here she'd rub it in his face - look, a guy can talk to me without sounding like an asshole, is that so hard? "So curious to know, huh?" he asked her, before nodding, "Gotta name?" Paulina watched him, her eyes softening - she felt them soften - and nodded. "Paulina Stagliano. From Philly." she offered, "But my friends call me Pauli."

dunmeshi au for my twst ocs bc I fell head first in the dungeon and got brain damage

[edit: a whole wall of text under the cut]

ok so this is set in the dunmeshi world but it's a separate story, unrelated to the main plot and characters

Shipwreck Cove is a dungeon on a cliff by the sea, near a coastal town. it's impossible to reach it by sea, as it's surrounded by constant whirlpools, the only way to get in is by climbing to the highest point of the cliff

great part of it's inner structure is submerged or surrounded by water, but it's still frequented by many adventurers bc the water that flows to the upper levels seems to have slight curative properties. legend says the water at the heart of the dungeon can heal incurable illnesses or even grant eternal life

🦑 Morgan (gnome) has been lord of the dungeon for something around ten years. his original wish is a secret

he was once an adventurer. he's an experienced mage both at healing magic and offensive spells (and has also studied the darks in secret), but his weak legs slowed down the party, who had no qualms in letting him know so, either by reproaching him or straight up letting him fall behind

one day, angry and frustrated, Morgan abandoned his party and ventured deeper into the dungeon by himself. by the time he noticed, he had reached the deepest level and, well, things happened

Morgan has severe abandonment issues. he created the quaintest little dungeon to lock himself in with his close circle. it was a beautiful and safe place, so that people could come and go at their leisure

soon enough, Morgan started feeling like people went more than they came back, so he started tweaking the dungeon bit by bit to discourage people from roaming. changing pathways, setting traps, creating more monsters. generally making it increasingly harder to navigate, until it became practically inhabitable except for the designated safe area, which was still pretty much a little eden

his resentment was such that he would find a way to make people part of the dungeon itself

at some point, tired of his body and of his lack of power over others, he turned himself into a kraken chimera, sealed his demon in a chest immediately afterwards, and has since then lived locked up with the few people he could trap in a wrecked ship at the deepest point of the dungeon, guarded by an ever larger kraken (that's his pet that he feeds other monsters and hapless adventurers to lol)

[only one person was ever able to escape Morgan's dungeon, an elf that used to be his closest confidant. however, just as they were about to step out, Morgan stole and sealed their magic in a locket that he keeps somewhere in his ship-home

this elf lives in a secluded area further than the outskirts of town, where they welcome adventurers to whom they offer incredible things in exchange of them traveling and conquering the dungeon, with the intention of getting back their powers that way]

🐒 Blake (tallman) and 🎇 Jacob (dwarf) are a pair of adventurers that hate each other yet have been working together for years lmao

they're quite successful in their expeditions but they're insufferable, so they're always looking for new members for their party bc the previous ones got fed up and left sksksk

they arrived at Shipwreck Cove following the legend of the water of life, each of them for their own reasons

(I still haven't decided if monkey Jacob exists in this au)

⚫ Avon and ⚪ Alba are a pair of walking mushrooms that are always together. they're funny to look at from afar, but they have a nasty vibe when you get close so adventurers prefer avoiding them

Morgan enjoys watching them tussle, so when more people started going in the dungeon he made them an area where they can still be seen while being out of reach enough from strangers. they've become some sort of a local attraction

(I originally thought to make them half foot florists, but a friend came up with this idea and I thought it was so funny that I adopted it lol)

🕰️ Eri (elf) is an historian. he feels a fascination for the short lived races, so he moves to different towns for periods at a time to document the daily lives of those who live and pass through there

🌻Lucas (kobold) is more of an explorer than an adventurer. he and 🛰️ Xander (dwarf), an inventor, travel the world together looking for strange materials and objects for Xander's experiments

🐻 Björn (tallman, bear beastkin) is an adventurer from the north that likes showing off his strength. he travels from one place to another looking for new challenges and creatures to beat

⏳ Noya (gnome) a scholar with an expertise in magical artifacts, who also studies the development of magic. since he's not allowed to study the origins of magic, he has had to settle for observing and studying how it evolves in every day contexts. he occasionally crosses paths with Eri

💋 Philly (elf) is a criminal enlisted by the Canaries against his will. his crimes include theft and selling of magical artifacts, arson, and murder, but true cause of his conviction was attempting to use the dark arts to extend his tallman lover's lifespan

(he's a die hard fan of the Daltan Clan novels and all the other prisoners hate him bc it's all he ever talks about sksbsk)

🎶 Aedon (tallman) kabru without the trauma is barkeep by day and singer by night. they like watching people and trying to guess their stories

and that's it, that's all I have for now✌️😋

please say it (about phil/ken and public perceptions) (inquiring minds want to know)

Hi!! Sorry for taking a bit to reply as well, I'm not sure I actually know how to word this without upsetting someone in some way so I've been thinking about it and I still might fuck up, BUT I'll give it a shot:

in many ways way back in the day, after they became "Dan and Phil" instead of AmazingPhil and his twink boyfriend Dan, or just "Phil and Dan" if you're boring) the public perception seemed to be that Dan was the famous cool one and Phil was... just Phil? People thought he didn't look as good as Dan a lot (which.... mental!) or that Dan was the Interesting one in a way? Even though it started as the opposite cause Phil was already somewhat known when Dan entered the scene, it shifted a lot over the years, to a point that people wouldn't watch Phil or care about him, besides the phan aspect of him, even well out of the "we're different people" era.

Of course I wouldn't say it was a majority of their audiences, but there was a good chunk of Dan's audience that didn't care for Phil in general (as you could see from their huge subscriber gap) which also reinforced the argument that Phil was somehow the lesser one out of the two of them. In fact, the amount of Phil love we see these days absolutely warms my heart, cause I remember a time when people who truly appreciated Phil for Phil and not just Phan where a much smaller number.

So this comes down to the I'm just Ken thing. A lot of the times people perceived Phil as just the other guy from Dan and Phil, cause everyone was obsessed with Dan. I feel like he's always been incredible at giving Dan his moments, ofc, but at the same time it stung everyone who cared about him how much some parts of the public didn't care about him and treated him like "just ken" in a way, yk? Only interesting when part of a set with Dan, not individually.

Anyway if you remember the absolute NIGHTMARE that was Dangirls.... if you know you know! lmao You've been through War and I appreciate it, comrade!

“Be free, you weirdo!”

S. 13th Street, Philly

[wyn-n-tonic]

"Philly's a rude city, the people are so rude and mean and hateful and violent." Okay so why do I feel safe walking down the street and wearing noise canceling headphones? Why was I walking around Center City one day and I thought I looked haggard as fuck but this woman on the street shouted that she loved my dress so I shouted back "OLD NAVY!" When I lived in Southwest Philly, I had an older neighbor who sat on his porch all day long and he didn't go inside until he knew all his neighbors were home safe. One time, he didn't see my car but he saw lights on in my house so he knocked on the door to make sure I was okay. I also used to walk around the neighborhood a lot and he was like, "Hey, I'm worried about you doing this all alone and I have a dog that I can't really walk anymore because I'm old. Would you be interested in taking her out with you so she gets some exercise and you get to stay safe because you have a big scary dog?" YES. When I moved to a different neighborhood, we had a snowstorm the night I moved in. I went outside to clean my car the next morning and it had already been done and there was a note on my car that said, "Welcome to the hood, may Allah be with you."

Does your city have Elmo leading a drum line while a junk yard burns in Port Richmond? Does your city have Batman show up to protect protestors? Does your city have Gritty? No and that sucks for you but it's not our fault we're so popular. Fuck you, Go Birds.

Yo, if we are talking about sports rivalries, I will say that the New York Rangers vs New York Islanders rivalry in hockey is somewhat comparable to the Philadelphia Philies vs New York Mets rivalry in baseball and the Carolina Hurricanes vs New York Islanders rivalry in hockey is DEFINITELY comparable to the Atlanta Braves vs New York Mets rivalry in baseball.

If it isn't fucking obvious, here's which hockey teams I am comparing to baseball teams:

New York Rangers = Philadelphia Phillies

New York Islanders = New York Mets

Carolina Hurricanes = Atlanta Braves

Like the Rangers, Islanders, Hurricanes are in the same division in hockey as are the Phillies, Mets, and Braves are in the same division in baseball.
