How to kindly shut your alligator ex-boss up for making more deals to potentially dangerous people

[aventurineswife]

The music pulsed like a living heartbeat in the dimly lit club, neon lights cutting through the haze of cigarette smoke and perfume. Aventurine leaned against the bar, his ever-present confident grin lighting up his face as he toyed with the edge of his glass. The night was young, and so were the dreams of the crowd, but none of that mattered to him tonight. The allure of risk, the thrill of chance—it all paled in comparison to you.

You stood a few feet away, your eyes scanning the room, your movements effortless but magnetic. It was no accident he’d invited you tonight; Aventurine always had a plan, even if he pretended to let fate play its hand. His gaze locked onto yours as the bass dropped, and his smile widened.

“Care to dance?” he asked, his voice smooth and teasing as he closed the distance between you.

“Who even dances at parties anymore?” you replied, raising an eyebrow but unable to hide the small smirk tugging at your lips.

Aventurine chuckled, tilting his head as if considering the question. “Then let’s do something no one else is doing.” He extended his hand, his gold rings catching the light.

Curiosity got the better of you, and you followed him, weaving through the throng of people until you reached a quieter corner. Not the dance floor, not even a VIP lounge—Aventurine didn’t care for obvious choices. Instead, he slipped into the bathroom, pulling you in with him before locking the door.

“What are you—”

Your words were cut off as his lips met yours, warm and insistent, the faint taste of champagne lingering on his tongue. It wasn’t a kiss meant to seduce—it was messy, uncalculated, full of adrenaline. His hands cupped your face, his thumbs brushing over your cheekbones as if grounding himself to the moment.

The club's muffled chaos seemed worlds away, but Aventurine thrived on the thrill of the forbidden. Between kisses, he whispered against your lips, “You have no idea how much I wanted this.”

The thought of someone walking in, catching the two of you, seemed to electrify him. It wasn’t just rebellion—it was the gamble, the razor’s edge of risk Aventurine loved so much. And yet, as his lips moved to your jawline, trailing warmth down your neck, it felt like you were the one holding all the cards.

Your fingers tangled in his hair, tugging lightly, and his breathing hitched. With a grin that was as daring as it was tender, Aventurine grabbed your waist, lifting you effortlessly onto the cool bathroom counter. The edge pressed into your thighs, but the discomfort was quickly forgotten as his lips found yours again, his hands sliding to your hips, holding you steady as if he didn’t trust himself to stop.

“Do you always chase danger like this?” you murmured, the words half-breathed between kisses.

He pulled back just enough to look into your eyes, his smirk returning. “Only when the stakes are worth it.”

His thumb brushed along your lower lip, his gaze lingering on your face as if he were memorizing every detail. The locked door remained unopened, the risk only a tease this time. But Aventurine’s touch, his gaze, and the way he whispered your name made it feel as though he was betting everything on you—like he was betting on you to break his rules, and maybe, just maybe, his heart.

Alright, if we're still doing the winners' poem, let's talk through some Scar ideas I've seen floating around (and some of my own). But first, see this post breaking down the poem as a whole and explaining why Martyn is definitely mars, if you want.

The Earth:

Probably the most popular. And it makes sense. Scar, full of life, so full of tragedy. Forever growing, like the sunflowers of sunflower valley, and the flowers on his cape. The earth, revolving around the sun and having its tides pulled by the moon. Both of whom he fought to the death, one of whom he won.

A Solar Eclipse:

Ah, more sun and moon. The moon blocking out the sun. Something could be said for parallels of the fight. Of a denied sacrifice followed by a fight already over before it had even begun. A fight that was always going to end the way it did.

Or, perhaps, if we take it another direction. The secret keepers blacking out all his light. He won as a forced villain.

And of course, an eclipse just generally being a bad omen, which also fits into his villainy. It also slightly ties into the sunflowers of sunflower valley. Just a bit. A sliver.

A Black Hole:

Similarly to the eclipse, the black hole is also devoid of light. Even more dramatically so. But still, he has a gravity that managed to pull people in during their last moments.

Mercury:

If I use the same thought process as I did for Martyn's "mars", I must mention the roman god. Mercury was the Roman equivalent of Hermes. He was also the god of thievery, wealth, trading and language. And what is Scar known for, if not for his silver tounge and swindling? Mercury is also the god of luck. And although Scar hasn't really had all that good luck this season, it still drives me to think about the first episode. The hard task, that wasn't all that hard. And the warden, and wither. How he just couldn't seem to die. Luck, maybe.

Mercury is a small planet, often overlooked. I don't think many people expected Scar to be a threat this season, not when he initially struggled to keep both secrets and hearts.

It also has no moons. Scar has no allies. And yes, of course, it's the closest planet to the sun.

The Void:

This is the first season where the end has been unlocked. A cold, lonely place. Makes me think of the word "devoid", and how many things haven't Scar had taken away from him? Potential allies, a home burnt and blown to smithereens.

Pluto:

Barely even a planet. People wouldn't think he'd even be included in the line of notable celestial bodies for this poem. But then again, most people didn't think they'd see Scar win either. And definitely not in the season where taking any damage had lasting consequences. Similar to the point I made about mercury, but when more pointed tbh.

Pluto is the furthest away from the other planets. Pluto is lonely, terribly so. Pluto, who has been told time and time again what he is and what he isn't (planet status, villain tasks), which has alienated him from the other planet (still, it has that little heart looking shape on it. Like a scar. Like a wish to be loved).

Now, of course, the Roman god. Pluto is the god of wealth. Fitting for a man whose whole thing this season was trading (and who, in every other season, also had a thing for material goods and negotiating). Pluto is also the god of the dead. Scar is the only winner to have been killed (by another player, in the cactus ring) and the only winner to have survived.

Before I go to sleep I leave you all with this piece of advice: sometimes you don't actually have to answer big political questions, sometimes you can just say "I am not smart enough to know that, I just know the small things I do to help." Like you can often times completely avoid making a fool of yourself if you just say you don't know.

You walk into the pharmacy to take your daily Kazemin, only to see the pharmacist holding a picture with a look of nostalgia on her face. “Hello,” the pharmacist greets with a smile. “I suppose now would be the time to tell you a story like I promised I would.”

The pharmacist sighs, gently brushing away the dust covering the photograph. Now that the image is clearer, you can see that there are two people in it, and one of them looks like... The pharmacist?!

“This is- Was my best friend, Reigi,” the pharmacist says, gesturing to the guy on the right of the picture. “He was my only friend, too, and I loved him. In fact, I still do. But- But he... He met his time all too early. Reigi was a big Kazemaru fan, and an even bigger Inazuma Eleven fan. If it weren't for him, I never would've gotten into the franchise. In fact, this whole pharmacy was his idea.”

“But Reigi was always too kind. Too courteous. He let himself be pushed around by big companies and businesses that sought to take the pharmacy away from him. And then, one day, after all that following, he snapped.”

“I still remember it all too vividly. Reigi, lying on the pharmacy floor, foaming at the mouth, a tainted Kazemin in his hand. There was a note beside him. Keep the pharmacy alive as my legacy, it read. The first few weeks were tough. Especially since... Since I was going to confess my feelings to Reigi on opening day. But I tried to push through. Any companies that tried to boss me around, I quit all partnerships with them. I kept the pharmacy going independently, with Reigi's last wish fueling me. If only he could see how far I'd come... Reigi, I- I miss you dearly. And... I love you," the pharmacist sighs, putting the picture aside before turning back to face you, smiling warmly.

“Thank you for your continued patronage to the Kazemaru Pharmacy. I hope to keep Reigi's legacy going with you all.”

I miss that brief golden era from like 2012 to 2016 when the online witchcraft community was actually good and full of open minded people looking to learn more and share what they know plus maybe the occasional vampire middle schooler instead of the situation now where it's been taken over by capitalist tiktok transphobes who like to come up with ways to shift to hogwarts via their inherent magical vagina powers and then sell coated quartz to cure cancer instead of seeing doctors.

I frankly think Lilith finds it beyond amusing that nudity has become sexualized. Not having that shame ingrained in her (because she never ate the forbidden fruit), she would show off her body in so-called lewd ways just to mess with people. Some would be aroused, others embarrassed, some outraged, while others confused. Why is this naked chick being lascivious on my porch?! Get the bear spray, honey!

Gonna start streaming some Skyrim here in a bit hopefully, and unlike other streamers, my goal is to have a run that is chosen and essentially run by Tumblr users. Of course, being a tumblr user myself, this allows me to start the game fresh and ready whenever. However, once this post gets some notes with suggestions on what to do, I will sort through them and make decisions based on the notes entirely on this post.

This will all start the 16th of this month of April. Giving this post plenty of time to take off and give everyone a chance to be involved in it.

Keep in mind, you will control it all, character creation, decisions made, quests taken, major results of storylines, and even down to things like stealing a particular piece of cheese from a particular shelf in a particular building. As well as all the dlc. If you guys suggest it, I do it. And if only one person suggests it, I will do it. However, if two people counter a suggestion, I won't do it. That is the level of control you will have.

And the more reblogs this gets, the more suggestions I get for the stream, as a result, the more fucked up shit I will be forced to do. You could make my character build be an Ork Nord supremacist that ends up fighting for the imperials in the Civil War questline. For shits n gigs. Or you could make me reasonable and essentially just be a graybeard pacifist that only kills out of necessity. Or make me a Goblin Slayer knockoff with falmer.

Streaming whenever I'm able to and have the motivation to here On Twitch and when I have the channel set up, on YouTube. In the mean time I'll be streaming when I've got the time. But when I start streaming this actual plan, I'll have a regular schedule and be able to more often. However that's likely to be early morning so I'll need the youtube channel set up. Once I'm able to dual stream I'll end up doing that. Which may be sooner than I thought. I just need a new ssd for my old desktop as it turns out. So my needed pc budget just got brought down to about $300. I'll have that on Wednesday. And the new ssd in the following days. Sure, that's my spending money for the month, but that will bring me a lot of joy over the next few years so I'd consider it worthwhile. The local computer shop is unfortunately closed on Wednesday and Thursday, though honestly, good call for their workers' sanity.

So my question is,

[tam--lin]

good grief what a sucky few days.

Lemme tell you, if the new show explicitly disproves any of my takes on how TMA’s world functions: No it didn’t, because I’m not going to listen to that thing until it’s over (not judgemental; just how I roll), and I don’t have to account for canon I don’t consume.

I might add/amend some of what I absorb by osmosis, if I like ‘em, but that’s a mighty big “might.”

Also, if my headcanons are cooler, I’m still sticking with them.

This is also how I’m approaching comics, for the record :P (Awful lot of osmosis, but I am moseying my way forwards.)
