(It's Isabeau's Birthday today.)

You remember because Mirabelle and them had all gathered together to discuss it when Isabeau was out elsewhere. You all came together a week before and talked about getting gifts for Isa's special day.

And so here you are all at this rental lakeside house for the next few days. Floralbreeze Lake is the name of this place, named after windy weather and with all of the flowers that always grew all year. A perfect, serene place for any occasion. The house rent price was 50 but as Saviors of Vaugarde, they were given a pass for their saving everyone quest. The owner's way of gratitude for saving the world.

Everyone's here in the big living room which shares space with the kitchen and a fire place. Isabeau is sitting at the wooden countertop with Bonnie, who's a few feet away near the stove, who's busy at cooking up some food for the occasion!

( The scent of cooked veggies and baked fish fills the air. The clanking noise of metal and sizzling of oil.)

There was some baked fish, vegetable stir fry and vegetable beef stew, some drinks and sweets like White Chocolate Mousse and White Chocolate Cake for Isabeau. The white chocolate dishes were Bonnie's gift to Isabeau. Mirabelle sits down next to Bonnie and Odile takes the other side, leaving Siffrin to sit at Isabeau's side and Siffrin was more happy to have it this way.

Siffrin watches as Odile takes a slice of baked fish, Mirabelle scoops some stew into a small bowl and Bonnie takes a small serving of stir fry, Isabeau gets some of fish and Siffrin, himself takes a nice serving of stir fry. They all eventually take portions of all dishes expect for desserts since that's for later. Everyone is occupied with eating and chatting, enjoying the warm, cozy atmosphere.

( Everything tastes so good! As always Bonnie did a great job!)

Bringing another piece of fish to your mouth, and so you chew and savor the flavor. Your fork sinks into a carrot and then into another piece of fish, you eat both, listening into the conversations around you as usual. Mirabelle is happily gushing away about her favorite books with Odile, Bonnie's listening to one of Isabeau's stories as a Defender. You gaze sweeps upon your family members as you finish up your last bits of your meal. You take a sip of water before settling down in your chair. You reach into your pockets, to double check your gift to Isa, a wooden figure of him in his fighting position. Your hands pet against the smooth and carefully carved wood after getting some assurance to clear away your doubts. You put your empty dish to the side to make some room.

Bonnie and Isabeau finish up after you and Odile and Mira do the same sometime after the other two. You and Mira volunteer to gather the dirty dishes while Bonnie and Odile, and Isa put away the leftovers somewhere. You put the three plates and utensils into the sink, Mira puts the remaining dishes along with it. The dishes will be washed later, for now you all have a birthday to celebrate.

Odile and Bonnie bring over the desserts, Isabeau has a excitied and joyful look in his eyes as he sits down again. You put the candles into the cake, Mira is the one to light them up, the cake is pushed closer to Isabeau.

"Happy Birthday Isabeau!" Mirabelle beamed.

"Happy Birthday Za!! Don't forget to make a wish!!" Bonnie rejoiced with their arms in the air.

"Happy Birthday Isabeau." Odile added, adjusting her glasses.

(You breathe in and out. It's your turn.)

"Happy Birthday Isa." You say in a gentle and kind tone.

Isabeau smiles delightfully at everyone, a small hint of blush showing on his cheeks.

"Thanks everyone! I really appreciate it. This is the best birthday anyone could ask for!" Isabeau thanked, Isabeau closes his eyes for a few moments before blowing out the candles. A small round of applause and cake is about to be sliced and given out to everyone. Mira is the one to slice the cake, giving Isabeau the slice with extra berries.

Everyone gets a slice of the white chocolate cake eventually. You decide to skip out on this one but you do snag a few berries for yourself from Isabeau and the others. Isabeau also takes the mousse once Bonnie hands one to him.

Presents are next, Bonnie explains that the white chocolate desserts were their gift to Isabeau, Isabeau gives an extra thanks Bonnie for the desserts. Odile pulls out her gift, it's something small and wrapped in simple wrapping paper, Mira's gift seems somewhat big, hidden under slanted lined wrapping paper with a small bow on top.

You reach into your pocket and pull out the wooden figure, and hold it firmly. Isabeau looks around excitedly, he smiles so brightly and his eyes sparkle with delight. Isabeau moves his hands towards to you, you hand over the wooden figure of him. His face shines even brighter at the sight of your gift.

You meet his gaze without tucking away into your cloak or hat. The wood figure of Isabeau is smooth and clean, chipped and carved into perfection with small noticeable details like his earrings, indents for his fist, clothing. Isabeau holds it with great care, a quick glance with a mix of his "fufufu" and "Really" expression over at Odile, and Odile shoots a amused look back.

"Thanks Sif, I love it." Isa murmurs to you with a smile.

Odile goes next, she shoves over her gift across the countertop. "Here you go, Isabeau." Odile stated.

Isabeau grabs it and pulls off the paper, revealing the hidden contents. It's a small wooden sewing kit, with some simple leaf patterns decor within was some threads of different shades, clips and needles and a pair of small scissors with some other sewing materials that you can't remember are called.

"Whoa!!! Thank you Madam!" Isabeau bellowed, a hand examining the sewing contents while the other hand secures your gift. Isabeau scans through the small box, he closes it and gives another thanks as Odile nods and Isabeau puts the box and figure safely to the side.

Mirabelle excitedly gives her gift to Isabeau next. Isabeau rips off the paper, Two books now sit on the countertop. They're new books, all nice and clean in good condition and having that classic new book scent. "Ummm! I hope you like them!" Mira speaks with a grin.

"Ooh! Two new books and they're about romance!! I can't wait to give these two a read when I can!" Isabeau responded with joy and excitement. He flips over the books a few times to get a close look at them. Getting in quick looks as Isabeau flips through the pages. He puts all his gifts together, the books sit besides the sewing box and the Isabeau figure rests upon one of the book covers.

Isabeau signals everyone to come in closer to him for a group hug, Odile gives her amused expression again, Mirabelle's expression glows with delight and Bonnie smiles, arms in the air like they're cheering. Isa looks at you, getting that confirmation from you, you give a nod.

You all come together, Isabeau's arms wrap around all of your family members. Your arms and everyone's arms wrap around Isabeau, everyone embraces with love, care and warmth. Like a cozy warm blanket shielding against the cold. Everyone's happy and everything's good.

Eyyy, friend!

Sweets aren't normally my jam, but the ones you

picked out were PERF─and they looked great

too! You must've put in some WORK picking

them out.

So, thanks! I'll make sure to do the same for you!

Cater Diamond

-

My good friend─

Thanks for the amazing gift! You got me those

mega-popular sweets we just talked about, right?

They were so good! It's kind of a shame I ate them

all.

Have you had any? I guess it'd be weird if I gifted

you the same thing, but come shopping with me

sometime and we can pick out some sweets for you.

Deuce Spade

-

Heya, pal─

I kinda freaked when I saw you left a present at

my door─in a good way! You actually sent me

sweets! You could've just given them to me in

person, you know.

I haven't had any yet, but I'm sure they'll be

great! We should share them at lunch tomorrow.

Thank you for the heartfelt gift. I suppose I owe

Once I've analyzed the flavor, I'll gift you

something equally delicious.

After all, fair's fair.

Azul Ashengrotto

My good friend─

You've outdone yourself. Sweets that pair well

with black tea? My deepest thanks. I'm flattered

that you thought of me so when selecting them.

You've inspired me. I'm going to spend my

mountain hhikes pondering just the right tea

blend to suit your palate.

I do hope you'll enjoy it.

Jade Leech

Dear little shrimpy─

I saw your present. You got me candy?

Thanks.

SCARABIA

To my dear friend─

Thanks for the present! What colorful and

sparkly sweets. They look delicious!

I just had an idea! How about we eat them

together after school? Gifts like this taste better

when shared, after all.

I'll pick out a good tea to go with them. Can't

wait to see you later!

Kalim Al-Asim

Hello─

I was suprised to see you gifted me sweets.

At first I wondered if you were hinting for me to

make you something similiar... But when I pulled

the gift out of the bag, I saw all the details you put

into it, right down to the ribbon. It's clear this was

a heartfelt gesture.

I'll treasure these treats as I eat them. Thank you.

POMEFIORE

Dearest friend─

Thank you for the gift. The sweets were dazzling

and most attractive.

Did you try to imagine what I'd like when

picking the out?

If so, you made an apt choice.

I'll have something for you later in return.

Vil Schoenheit

-

Bonjour, and merci beaucoup!

What a lovely batch of confections!

They're so darling that I'm tempted to stow

them away in a brilliant bejeweld box.

Ah, but I jest. I'll enjoy every morsel of this gift

you've so thoughtfully bestowed upon me.

While shippers keep track of CT's and S's lives everything they distort is factual correct. No games played as they want followers to believe.

- Spotting C/T & baby is normal and usually people respect her privacy - - C didn't hint anything, she posted a thank you for SOC invite - - Lauren Lyle interviewer mentioned his connection to OL through his good friend T who is married to CB - - Not the first time cast members acknowledge SC aren't together - - CT not doing an IFTA pap walk but attending together as a married couple - - C was happy to be out attending The Fratellis - - CB cut hair for a new movie just like she did for FvF - - CB only mentions T if asked - - CB attending play in NY could also have had another professional reason - - CB can be tagged by friends as normal people do.

SH is doing his own thing completely separate from CB.

Droughlander isn't over …

Since February, when the wrap was announced, we've been thinking about some possible mischief that could happen until this season of Droughlander is over.

It was a joke between friends, but looking at the number of hits, I think these 'hunches' could be written about here.

37 - BONUS: Cait is tagged by a friend, watching an Irish football match while Sam is obviously in another part of the world ✔️

38 - BONUS: Graham and Garance launch a drinks company and a big row breaks out in the fandon ✔️

Some things didn't happen, other things happened more than once, overlapping or combining with each other … but some really unexpected things have happened …

It's been fun and it doesn't have to be much more than that.

Anyway, Droughlander isn't over. We'll see how many more items are ticked off this list, or what else might happen …

Sep 1st, 2023

To sum her piece of bullshit up, they are celebrating not knowing where C has been and pretending in their delusion that she was with S but never seen either while he's broadcast his every move.

LiS characters at an Commander/EDH Table Headcanon

A/N: This was originally supposed to be a “What MTG color identity would the LiS 1 characters be?” And then I sat down and went “Lmoa no, this is idea way funnier.” and besides parts of that original HC will inevitably bleed through here. I guess really the only fanon “changes” here would be that I’ll be mentioning cards from FAR past 2013 so ig do whatever mental gymnastics you need to do there. Oh, and we’re supposing that any of the characters could afford to splurge on multiple commander decks. 

Max Caulfield 

you wouldn’t think it because of how genuinely she just appreciates shuffling up, sitting down, and spending time with the other Blackwell nerds, but Max can and will optimize her decks to a fault. 

It’s less about “competitive viability” and more because she just appreciates brewing highly interactive spell-slinger stuff. 

Has a pet Narset extra turns deck. You cannot convince me otherwise. When it pops off, she definitely excitedly texts Chloe about being “a time master in AND out of game”.

The only person on Earth I would smile at and encourage after I hear the phrase “I cast Expropriate for free. Responses?” 

One of those “I’m addicted to R/U please God help me break out of this archetype” people but is somehow adorkable about it 

Will target you if she picks up even the slightest hint that you’re about to Cyclonic Rift and not just because you’re... you know... casting Cyclonic Rift.

Chloe Price

Very much loves jank. Something about the “isle of broken toys” triumphing against whatever monstrosity everyone else brought really appeals to her. 

Loves the idea of certain archetypes, but as long as a given list guarantees that she’s playing lots of cards and doing lots of things on her turns, she’ll mainly just build whatever she thinks is cool. 

As a result, Chloe has run Yuriko and Beckett Brass decks in the past. 

“Come on Max, did you really think I’d pass up being able to beat you all with pirates? You already know I'm ALL over that. Ninjas are hella awesome too.” 

It doesn’t hurt that Yuriko can wipe the floor with everyone if they aren’t careful.

Doesn’t gravitate towards a specific color or color combo but plays aggressively in whatever flavor she finds appealing. 

And I do mean AGGRESSIVELY. Chloe loves the serotonin rush of slapping a ton of guys down and then turning them all sideways even if it leaves her open to dying in the next few turns. 

Even if she doesn’t take things super seriously, she will definitely high-key target you in the next game if you fucked her over in the previous one. 

Kate Marsh

Kate took some convincing that Magic wasn’t some weird ritual since her parents almost certainly forbade her from even learning about it as a kid and filled her head with satanic panic BS.

Once she actually sat in on a game or two (and after Max showed her Rin and Seri), she was able to set her compunctions aside and will show up to game night when her schedule allows.

in the same way Chloe builds what she thinks is cool, Kate definitely builds what she thinks is cute. (*cough* Kwain *cough*)

The first deck she built on her own was almost certainly Jinnie Fay go-wide.

Will cry inside (and honestly maybe a few tears escape on the outside.) if you board wipe. Not because her board presence is gone and she’ll need to rebuild but because you just killed Molly, Holly, Taylor, and every other token she’d given a loving name. 

Warren Graham

Is THAT combo player. An absolute menace. What else were you expecting?

Maybe it’s just my bias against Warren showing here, but he’s definitely the kind of guy who goes “Oops! I win!” out of nowhere after just playing solitaire in the background for 5-6 turns to set up. 

Still keeps some lower power stuff around in case people get too upset about it though.

Much like Chloe, doesn’t really have a preferred color combo. Unlike Chloe, he builds whatever he can optimize to a disgusting degree. 

Usually wins game 1 pretty easily unless Max stops him but going into game 2 understands that he’s consigned himself to playing archenemy for the rest of the night. 

His pet card is probably fuckin’ mana drain or panharmonicon or some shit idk.

Tune in next time for my thesis on why Victoria would play Queen Marchesa jk.

 ... unless.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My goal is to add to this everyday of December to help keep me accountable to my goal.

My boyfriend’s family always does a huge New Year’s party and last year I didn’t go because I was embarrassed of how fäț I was.

This year I want to show tf up and amaze everyone w how good I look.

My birthday is this Saturday (24🥳) so I want to get to 155lb by then, and then I have the rest of the month to lock in and hopefully get to a MAINTAINABLE 150. I’ve never gone below 155 (yes I know that’s embarrassing).

I always make progress and then mess it all up when I get emotional because of my bipolar disorder. My sugar cravings get so so so bad and then I give in because I get depressed and miss my boyfriend.

But I want this month to be different. I’m holding myself accountable. I want to amaze everyone. If I look super good I might go get a piercing or tattoo or dye my hair so that I can post on IG and woo everyone lol. So self-centered!

So anyways, here we go,

Sunday 12/1/24: walked 4.5 miles today while on 24 hour fast! Lifted at the gym for an hour. Then came home to eat around 5pm.

Had an Oikos Triple Zero 15g protein greek yogurt (90kcal) mixed berry flavor. So delicious.

Added 2 tablespoons of flax/chia seeds (70kcal)

Then, I snacked on half of a 16oz bag of baby carrots (90kcal). Dipped some of them in dijon mustard before I read the label (so stupid—I threw the bottle away immediately after) (100kcal😞).

total intake: 350kcal || calories burned: 300

not bad. weight after my walk: 164.4

let’s hope tomorrow I go #2 lol. But I am planning to see a movie w my boyfriend… so hopefully we don’t get any food 😳😳

Monday 12/2/24: just woke up, went #2!!! lol weighed myself before drinking water and now I’m 162.8!! Yay not bad!!! 5 days to lose 7 lbs I think I can do it…? Will update later

update 12/2/24: well my bf got hïğh and slept all day, so we didn’t end up going to the movies. we did other stuff instead ;-) but then he order mcdonald’s and i was so uncomfortable bc he wanted me to eat some. i refused but he stuck one (1) french fry in my mouth and made me take 1 (one) tiny bite of his sandwich (so gross). but other than that i fasted. not mad.

when i got back, I went on the treadmill and did 4 miles in 68 mins (ik im slow). I also lifted earlier. so I just weighed myself rn and im 161.0!!!! almost back to my pre-thanksgiving weight!! very happy w this number but really hoping for more by the end of the week. kinda worried of how drastic im taking it (even tho ik to some this ain’t sħïť lol). butttt hopefully no bad consequences. now im gonan drink some tea and sleep 8 hours :-) excited for tmrw it’s a big day. im turning in my grad school app! yay <3 burned 400 cals and today i bought a vâpè (don’t tell me bf lol)

12/3/24: GRAD SCHOOL APP SUBMITTED!!!! HUGE DAY!!!! Berkeley Fall 2025 here I comeeee!!!!!! lol but because I was grinding out my application today I did not have time for any movement. Didn’t get any steps today :(

But, I’m not too mad. I didn’t eat today again so we’ll see if I lost any weight in the morning. I doubt it but it’s fine because today was a needed work day. All the stress lifted off my shoulders! Thankful to be alive and healthy rn. Let’s make tmrw a good day 💕

12/4/24: just woke up and weighed myself and omg! 158.8!! 3.8 more pounds to go in 3 days!! I think I can do it ! I haven’t ate since Sunday! Hopefully i’ll spend some serious time at the gym and doing cardio today. Gonna try to drink a lot of water today bc yesterday I didn’t. But, I have bad news. I have a doctor appt today for a check up and Im nervous. I don’t know if they’re gonna notice the disorder or if I’m gonna slip up and accidentally hint at it. We’ll see. I’ll update soon.

doctor appt was fine. scale at dr office said 159 (clothes on duh). blood pressure was good. came home and ate 6 egg whites: 6g protein each equals 36g. 30 kcal each equals 180 cal. omad done. 72 hour fast complete. honestly i got full off of the first one and it hurt my tummy, but it’s okay bc i feel like it was healthy. whatever. tmrw my prof said they are bringing snacks to class so im gonna try really hard to be mindful of what i eat. hoping to stay disciplined. happy w my progress so far. only walked 2 miles today tho that’s lame :/

12/5/24: holy crap I had such bad anxiety going to school today after 3 weeks off. But I went and for both my classes my professor brought cuties. So I had two in my first class, and then two in my second class. I wasn’t sure if I could eat them but I googled the nutrition facts and they’re mainly water and high in potassium and vitamin C of course so I decided it was okay. 40 kcals each so 160 kcal total. I think that’s okay. Now I just got home and I’m kinda hungry so I decided I’m going to boil two eggs. 70 kcal each with 6.5 grams protein so about 17ish grams protein today and 300kcal total. not bad. Later I went to the gym and lifted and walked 3.5 miles on treadmill. Probably burned 150kcal.

12/6/24: Well, my bday is tmrw and the goal was to be 155. I weighed myself this morning and I’m still 158.6. That’s okay though I knew 155 was a lofty goal. Hopefully my boyfriend thinks I’m attractive. At least I still have until Dec 31 to get skinnier.

Anyways, rn I just had a Oikos triple zero yogurt strawberry flavor which is 90kcal 15g protein. Now I need to go workout and get some steps in. Check in later. Update I did only 1.5 miles lol

12/7/24:!!!! it’s my birthday!!!!!! my boyfriend came over last night and we had so much fun 🥰🥰 now we’re going out today and I’m gonna have crumbl cookie and my favorite italian restaurant !! im not gonna worry about the calories but i am gonna watch my portion. im gonna eat super slow and chew my food intentionally. im gonan take home most of it so i don’t eat a lot. then my boyfriend can eat it all later. so excited for this challenge. i wanna show myself i can be strong around food. also!! just weighed myself and…. drumroll… im 156.6!!!! the goal was 155 but im still really happy with that!!! i lost nearly 10 lbs this week so i think i did a great job!! im almost to my lowest weight. it’s okay that im gonna eat a lot today bc what’s the worst i can do? gain 3 lbs? im not mad!!! yayyyyyyy birthday!!! cheers to good health and more blessings 🥰🥰🥰

okay update for 12/7: i ate hellllla. i had starbs and crumbl cookie and fettuccine alfredo. but im NOT UPSET about it. it was an amazing birthday w the loml. not weighing myself until after my next fast.

12/8/24: so I had to babysit all day today and I always eat hella when I do bc the ppl I babysit for have sm good fresh organic healthy food. So yes, I binged, but it was all healthy food like grapes, strawberries, low sodium sausage, etc etc. not mad about how much I ate because it made me happy.

12/9/24: so today I went way overboard. I had a hot chocolate that a friend got me. then my boyfriend got me pancakes from ihop. I know I didn’t have to eat them but I did. so now I feel like a huge fatty. three days in a row of eating is crazy. but I’m starting my fast now and im not eating for the rest of the week. I will weigh myself tmew after my fast.

12/10/24: haven’t ate since yesterday at about 4pm so im already at the 24 hour mark. I still don’t want to weigh myself bc I haven’t gotten in any cardio. i’ve been doing finals all day. I’ll weigh tmrw bc im scared.

12/11/24: finally went to the gym today. still haven’t eaten so i passed the 48 hour fast mark. still haven’t done any cardio but that’s bc i wanted to use the extra food i ate to build muscle so i trained legs and booty hard. I weighed this morning after going pee and im ashamed but im 162. so I gained 5 lbs. that’s not horrible tho. ik i can lose it if i keep fasting. im going to weigh myself again tmrw morning and see if it changes which i think it will. im seeing my boyfriend again this weekend so i need to get back to 160 at the very least. even tho he doesn’t care but whatever. i love him. at least i feel strong rn. tmrw im gonna try to wake up early to go work out before class. wish me luck.

update 12/11: fuck i broke my fast after 54 hours :/ i ate 3/4 can of tuna (140 kcal) (28g protein) with some lite mayo (40kcal) and half a bag of baby carrots (80kcal). so ima round up to like 280kcal. not bad but damn i was doing so good.

12/12/24: in-class final today and i ate a lot. had 3 slices of pizza, and like a handful of cookies man. but that’s okay it was well deserved. but then I smoked after and doordashed ben n jerrys. fumbled. ate the whole pint. so def over 2thousand kcal today. pain. painnnn.

12/14/24: boyfriend and i went to the movies and got popcorn but it tasted like shit. we also got sonic drive thru bc i had a gift card and i ate more ice cream. then bc i was uncontrollable binge, i doordashed more ice cream and cake and chocolate once he left. i didn’t eat it all but i did eat a shit tone. prolly over 5thousand kcal fr. kms whatever.

12/15/24: i hate my life but whatever. fasted all day. i miss my boyfriend so bad i keep crying. wanted to dǐě today. wish he loved me more. then i finally got dressed and did my makeup to go to the gym only to find out my university gym is closed for 5 weeks until next semester. devastated. kms. so now i need to figure out what ima do without it bro. ihml. i just wish he loved me. time to starve another week away. work tmrw. man :( i’ll weigh myself maybe tmrw. we’ll see

12/18/24: alright today was a good day. finally fucking weighed myself. walked 2 miles at work, then got home and went for a mf 5 mile walk biiiiiiiiiťch. 16k steps. at work i ate like 3 chicken nuggets, 2 handfuls of cranberries. a few spoonfuls of mashed potatoes. prolly like 600kcal tbh. then i went straight to the gym and lifted heavy. then my walk and i weighed myself and i was 162 again which is good considering i was 167 again after my weekend binge. so i’m not mad. i can get back under 160 by the weekend as long as i don’t fuck up. still so far from my december goal tho :(

but then i got amazing news. my bf told me his mom asked me to come over for their new year’s party (i already assumed i was invited, but it still feels nice to hear her say it). so that DEFFFFF motivated me to lock in more bc ik she’s gonna wanna see if i’ve lost/gained weight. so now i’m super locked in. for dinner i ate 2 of the oikos triple zero with some raspberries and blackberries. so 250kcal we’ll say. but i’m just excited for tmrw bc it’s gonna be a busy ass day and i’m hoping that i burn hella calories. might snack thooooo. we’ll see. it’s okay bc i’m locked in. and ima try so hard to go to the gym after work. ily guys. pray for me to get to 155 for new years please omg.

I was excited to try out the Cookies and Cream flavored peanut butter powder that I received as a gift from @flavoredpbco . It did not disappoint! My shake was a delicious indulgence that tasted like cream-filled chocolate cookies, with a hint of peanut butter. I felt naughty drinking it for breakfast, because it seemed like dessert! It's not just for shakes. My daughter follows the recipe on the pb powder package to make a quick mug cake in the microwave. And I've mixed it with a little water to make a luxuriously creamy spread that I've used on waffles, rice cakes, and shortbread. Flavored PB Co has more yummy flavors like Churro, Toffee Apple, Blueberry Cobbler, and more. All powders are gluten-free, vegan, and just 45 calories with no artificial ingredients. And now they're available on Amazon!

It appears the last two (2)….times I’ve tried creating this post, tumblr thought I was too wordy, so I’m going to attempt to get in and get out before it eats itself again

this playlist (a Dream of the Endless™ character examination via my silly brain and sad ass music) took me entirely too long and I'm going to throw my laptop out of the window if I have to look at it any longer so pls pls take it and I hope that if you listen or even read the lyrics that you find something new, or hear something you like.

This absolutely would not have ever seen the light of tunglr.hell if not for the beautiful souls of the Sandman fandom, and a few of my new friends and mutuals. So special internet cookies and hugs to these inspirational, encouraging, and beyond talented individuals; @wordsinhaled , @weirdfishy , @wizardofgoodfortune , and @xx-vergil-xx - i love y'all dearly and I hope this is even HALF of what you would have expected, or a quarter of the amazing content y'all have bestowed upon my lil eyeballs. Now Onward! to words that personally injure me!

Florence + The Machine -Too Much Is Never Enough

And the crown, it weighs heavy 'Til it's banging on my eyelids Retreating in covers and closing the curtains One thing's for certain, oh A year like this passes so strangely Somewhere between sorrow and bliss

Oh, who decides from where up high? I couldn't say "I need more time" Oh, grant that I can stay the night Or one more day inside this life

~I first encountered this song in it's source material FFXV, and there it destroyed me. Now, wearing my dumb lil blorbo glasses yet again, it is back with vengeance..goth royalty sad wet cat flavored (gross), vengeance. "too much is never enough" .... oh sweeties...

VIRA - God Complex

God, I could try To be the one To be the one I'll tear down the sky What do you want? I'll do it all for life My love, my alibi Tonight, tonight I'll try to do it for you

I'm gonna be where you are Doesn't matter how far Because we are meant to be I'm gonna be what you need Darling, please worship me Unless you prefer to plead

~pretty sure this is the angriest sounding song on this thing? but it is fitting.. and desperate.. and wanting and... painful. when she grits out 'try' and 'sky' the way she does.. god the emotion. this just brought to mind Dream and falling for someone hard enough to the point of destructive devotion...

AJJ - Body Terror Song

It will betray you Be used against you Then it will fail on you, my dear But before that, you'll be a doormat For every vicious narcissist in the world Oh, how they'll screw you all up and over Then feed you silence for dessert

~ I love seeing people explore the idea of Dream just...not vibing with being fully corporeal. At least not in the way he is while in the Waking.. what a mood, and especially after the fishbowl...whew.

Philip Wesley - Lamentations of the Heart

[Instrumental~]

~I wanted to include a few instrumental tracks in here and this one felt apt because I used to fall asleep to this album all the time. Like it was one of the only ones I could fall asleep to with any certainty. The feeling and title for this one tho struck me with Dream specifically so I went with it. The rest of the album is so nice though, highly rec.

Iris Lune - Paper Mache

Save me from myself I've been in the dark too long Paper mache love Make me believe that I can change Make me believe that I'm not strange At all

~ this song!! it sounds so so ethereal and her voice is GORGEOUS but the lyrics!! have mercy the lyrics! big ole owwie! "save me from myself" , "make me believe that I can change, make me believe that I'm not strange" hhhh (also if y'all couldn't tell, this will be dreamling flavored, I think I'll tag them too jic but. yes...)

Penny and Sparrow - A Kind of Hunger

tremble, recognize the distance Go try and murder every preference I’ll keep hangin' ‘round for reference come care about me come care about me

changing, watching you with wonder you’re less and getting even younger dying is just a kind of hunger come care about Me come care about Me

~this is... such a heavy song. hadn't heard it before starting this playlist but found it and immediately had to add it.. just. come care about me. changing, watching you with wonder. Dying is just a kind of hunger. that line specifically. -lays on the floor for 3hrs-

Carly Rae Jepsen - Gimme Love

Gimmie love (Oh) It's the way we are together (Oh) Wanna feel like this forever, forever (Oh) It's the way we are together And I never thought I'd ever say forever

~originally was gonna be a joke song to lighten the mood but haha! nope! I mean it is lighthearted but it still absolutely, in my mind, fits Morpheus. beautiful babygirl of the endless...smooch

Jon Bellion - Stupid Deep (Acoustic)

What if who I hoped to be was always me? And the love I fought to feel was always free? What if all the things I've done Were just attempts at earning love? Yeah 'Cause the hole inside my heart is stupid deep, oh, stupid deep

~this song fucks me up! 😀 for real though, I highly suggest watching the acoustic performance of this that he has on youtube cause the vibe is so.. intimate and dreamy and gorgeous.. and the lyrics.. jon bellion, sir.. smh.. the ending..

Marika Hackman - Undone, Undress

They heard my heart for miles The air inside Was seeping out In silent shouts It crumpled in my chest

~this is definitely... a nightmarish..creeping kind of song, and the lyrics are, according to the Genius annotations, rather distressing but I don't really see them the same way. I can't really explain it but hopefully y'all will see what I mean. love this one specifically "Load me heavy, I can't bend. Break me better, so I won't mend" break me better.... hhhhhh

DBMK - Switchblade

Did you hear I coughed my heart out? It never fit me so I'm likely to drown My body yearns for something real now Suggesting kitchen counters, can openers, and close encounters to hold me down Ain’t no one's boyfriend, wow I'm busy up in my brain but they don't see anything, yeah

I open up too easily, look at me Single sided blade of insecurities, yeah I open up too easily, speak to me Cutting through my comfort like its misery, sad

~this. SONG. he just like me fr 😔 azdcafs nah, honestly idk if this is projecting, but to MEE I like to think about Dream being so ready for a partner, and he gives so so much of himself to them and loves so passionately but he also has just... so many issues. just ugh this song..

Blegh - His Hands

He feels handcrafted just for you But he's a little bit too far away and You can't, you can't His hands are on you And you know you'll be gone by the morning but you know he loves you And you know you like his strong hands, strong hands

You're too real for me You should go to something better I'll give you to someone better I have friends that'll be on earth for longer I have friends that won't feel like monsters

~another song that I was not prepared for before hand that ruined me so viciously, that I had to scream at multiple ppl about it, most of which were mentioned in this post, but Verg's reaction was very memorable because I believe she told me she was on public transportation and the way she phrased it had me rolling around on the floor. but yeah y'all just gotta hear this fuckin,... bear mace of a song (with your Dreamling Glasses™ on pls, as i believe it is meant to be asxacsgdcvc)

Agent Fresco - Wait for Me

I can’t see clear The rage of rivers roam every tear They all fall through vague and vast tunnels With hurts of hatred came blinding years Will they disappear?

I’m far away, treading a path I’ve made and it’s laid with stones of fallen love I need to feel and to make atonement before coming home

~-motions to song- I mean... c'mon... this alone? nah nah nah..I gotta lay down.

Talos - Endgame

I’m drawn across An empty space This dreamland now A tired waste O it’s the endgame

A blackout heart A seething truth There’s nothing in me Left for you We’re lies

~ Talos...Talos Talos Talos... y'all. if you don't know him, but like indie-ish electronic music with beautiful angelic Irishman vocals? pls... he makes me insane. He also just gives me Morpheus vibes in general, I'm not exactly sure why, but... I also think the cover art on his first two albums are very Morpheus energy, could just be me tho

Emma Ruth Rundle - Savage Saint

I held him, his whole life In my hands, in my heart

Don't be ever forgotten, Savage Saint Never draw blood in the garden, faint Don't be the name that's drawing shame and Never let your heart harden, little flame

~I knew I had to have Emma Ruth in here somewhere, but it took me a second to find the perfect song.. and I was torn between a few, but I saw this one and. Immediately my heart was out of my body. Thinking about Orpheus.. and Dream thinking about Orpheus.. draw blood in the garden,,, I held him his whole life.. in my hands in my heart.. little flame.. it seems I am upsetti spaghetti.

Sleeping at Last - Neptune

Stitch by stitch, I tear apart If brokenness is a form of art I must be a poster child prodigy Thread by thread, I come apart If brokenness is a work of art Surely this must be my masterpiece

I'm only honest when it rains If I time it right, the thunder breaks When I open my mouth I wanna tell you, but I don't know how I'm only honest when it rains An open book with a torn out page And my ink's run out I wanna love you, but I don't know how

~Sleeping at Last my beloved <3 ... if I could snort 'atlas pt 1 the album' I fuckin would. also there's a song on there for literally any blorbo. i could bet my life on that. somewhere on there! "if brokenness is a work of art, surely this must be my masterpiece" ah hah.. hahaha..

Sea Power - Want To Be Free

Now we're under the stars Smoking cigars On top of a motorcar Hanging out Like some kind of nebula We

Want to be free Want to be free It will last forever Eternally

~this one was more for vibes and because it's beautiful, but also if I think too hard about Morpheus and how he just wants to be normal and rest for a little while, then I will have to go eat a whole bag of chocolate chips and cry myself to sleep.

Clem Turner - Divine Loser

"Connect yet stay opaque," I cannot have it both ways Please do not tell the time I can't be trusted with the date

My god, you break the skin But may I be thy heaven? Will you take my sickness While I deprive you of your health?

~haha Divine Loser..defo Morpheus (jk. or am I) that second part I included.. I keep having to re-read those lyrics, cause.. my goodness. there's a part later that says "baby just let me bleed in peace" like... whoof. Clem Turner is the only person on here twice, mostly cause these two songs are just so phenomenal I had to and the lyrics... SHMACK.. and Clem's VOICE?? pardon me?

Clem Turner - Honeywell

Get it through your pretty head Take me with you instead Forget her, she's gone So, tell me, dear stranger What's got you distraught?

Mm, here I am to bring Psychosomatic freedom to your head May I be of service, newlywed? See me as a host to all your greatest dreams And then some change As long as your compassion stays the same

~"So tell me, Dear Stranger, what's got you so distraught?" Um..is that in a dreamling fic, cause... 👀 and then "see me as a host to all your greatest dreams and then some change, as long as your compassion stays the same." running in circles, sobbing, hopping out my window, running into the woods...etc

Mustapha Kamel - Can You Feel Me

[Instrumental~]

~ this song just makes me -lays face down in the carpet for 2+ hrs- and the cello is gahdamn gorgeous..

The New Basement Tapes - When I Get My Hands On You

When I come home to you Gonna take you down to the riverside When I come home to you Hold you in my arms all night

And now you know Everywhere on earth you go You're gonna have me as your man

~ Mushy Dream Rights!!! let this inconceivable being be a sap!! I love seeing him clingy and sweet and so so in love and just AAAHHH I could literally weep, I love this weird scrungly man.

Glass Animals - JDNT

I'm all armored up I've got my old helmet on Keeping out an eye Puffing all my feathers up One more little blow One more tap and I collapse

~heehee another nightmarish song. not only is this a fuckin BANGER, but Glass Animals has such a.. Sound. that's dreamlike most of the time, but sometimes can be so.. tense and creepy, and the lyrics can be violent and just downright odd. mostly from the zaba album, but regardless. I could talk about Dream + Glass Animals for hours, as proven with N (@wordsinhaled) because we have done exactly that, I think twice now lolololol (also I thought the line abt the helmet was.. hehe funny)

ABRA - Pride

Palms up, no crown You wanna mess around I wanna hold you down It's not okay I need you everyday

I lost all the pride That I thought I could keep Can you see me Say you feel me It's a big world But I fall at your feet Reach out and touch me

~ this was originally an entirely different song! but I switched it out last minute and I am v happy that I did because this song..this song fucks severely, but also it lets me put a facet of Dream on this playlist that I love seeing, which is the needy and seductive lil bastard that he can be. i think i could make a whole other playlist dedicated to that aspect tbh azcacdfavcg

Purity Ring - Asido

Oh, the madness in weakness Doubled o'er on the plate Fill an ocean with weaponry Hurricanes of our grace

Feel as lonely as I do, as I do Feel as lonely as I do, I do Feel as lonely as I do

~I wanted some Purity Ring on here because I know their genre is sometimes described as dream pop or witch house, and their lyricism has this... poetically visceral aspect to it sometimes that I adore while also being very ethereal. Love them. also tho, feel as lonely as I do?? of course it had to be in here.

Hozier - It Will Come Back

Don't let me in with no intention to keep me Jesus Christ, don't be kind to me Honey, don't feed me, I will come back

It can't be unlearned I've known the warmth of your doorways Through the cold, I'll find my way back to you Oh, please, give me mercy no more That's a kindness you can't afford I warn you, baby, each night, as sure as you're born You'll hear me howling outside your door

~ okay look, I know everybody and their mother who has made a playlist like this has put Mr. Andrew Hozier-Byrne on it, but like - come on.. look at those lyrics. He just Gets It™ and the music slaps ass! I have like, an actual Dreamling playlist in the works as well, which I'm sure will be... longer. but hopefully I'll have the foresight to work on it a bit at a time, and PERHAPS prepare a word document, since I cannot seem to help rambling at any chance I get 💀

Son Lux - Labor

I will break with you For your body to be freed and pleased Take the weight of you For your gravity to be erased

Come to life, my hungry arms are begging you But what more can you do?

Labor reveal before our eyes Into our ears Unfurl with light The stars around us disappear Just what is torn What comes alive inside of us

~ I wanted.. something big on here. I don't necessarily have a desired order for this to be played in, but this was the last one I added, if that tells you anything. The opening of this song is a little jarring, but the piano is so. beautiful. Son Lux has such a way of composing their music that just leaves me breathless and astounded at the feelings music can bring forward in me, and speaking in Dream terms, I feel like that would be the kind of song he really appreciates. I'm not gonna end this with rambling about the complexity of human emotion, because I don't believe tumblr could handle me doing that - operation-wise, i feel like it's abt to stab me as is- It's also not why I'm here lol. "I will break with you. For your body to be freed and pleased. Take the weight of you, for your gravity to be erased." the rest of that line literally mentions a phantom muse.. I think, viewing this in terms of Morpheus' marriage, and maybe even how he thinks about marriage as a concept is interesting. On Genius they mention that on a Son Lux insta story they talked about the first half of the song being about helping a friend die, and the second half about the birth of Ryan Lott's son. Looking at in that framing is also,,, WHEW.. okay this paragraph has been long enough lmao

WELL GEEZE.. looks like I've finally made it to the bottom without tumblr shitting itself again, so I'm gonna wrap this up before it gets the chance to. HAH.

If anyone has bothered to read this far; I cannot thank you enough nor can I tell you how much I appreciate you reading my inane mangling of the English language to be overly emo about music and a spindly nightmare of a man, but REGARDLESS. Thank you, I love you, and I would absolutely take a stab wound for you and make you cookies. 💕🖤💕🖤✨

a lil req, how about jamil, malleus, silver and ace with a reader thats really good with their words (eg. argumentative and is amazing at debates, feisty)

> also if it’s alright (this is optional to u), I’d like it if the reader is not mc / the prefect (maybe in the same dorm w them, or in any dorm you think they’d fit in), and is gender neutral :o

Synopsis: s/o who’s really argumentative and good at debating!

Warnings: both playful, and genuine arguments, and not proofread

Game/ fandom: twisted wonderland

Characters: jamil, malleus, silver, and ace

Pronouns for reader: gender neutral/ not mentioned

A/n: hello hello! There’s so many twisted wonder requests in my inbox Omg-! I enjoy it obviously but dang genshin content in general is so dry right now. That’s a discussion for another day though, hope you enjoy, and drink plenty of water >:O!

— Jamil —

He should’ve guessed when you were in savanaclaw. HE SHOULD’VE GUESSED. His first argument with you was genuinely horrific. He’s a very very smart guy, and he knows that, everyone knows that, but you do not care because you won that argument anyways.

Any point he brings up is easily shut down by your counterpoint, and he probably thinks that’s hot. LISTEN. Jamil probably thinks smart people are attractive, and people who easily stand up for themself without being… ig a brute is the right term.

Jamil can stand up for himself, but a lot of the time he just steps aside and let’s you take care of it. One less thing for him to worry about tbh (please this man needs a break can you really blame him?).

— Malleus —

You tried to star a debate team but no one joined cause they didn’t wanna debate with you. That was malleus’s hint at your… debating powers JGSJEBD.

Malleus hates arguments, and you don’t get into arguments… like at all. Only playful ones. But. You do get into arguments with other people in the diasomnia dorm. Sebek barged into your room without knocking again? Full on 20 minute lecture, that you win with ease. Lilia used YOUR LEFTOVERS FOR ONE OF HIS… “INGREDIENTS” FOR ONE OF HIS “DISHES” (if it can be called that). Full on debate that you also win.

Malleus in awe, because you speak so eloquently, and calmly, but the words your saying just shut the other person down without a problem. Genuinely likes hearing you debate with people, it’s so???? Interesting???? To him?????

— Silver —

Anytime he sees you debating with someone he just walk away. Like “eh they’ll take care of it soon” he just doesn’t wanna be responsible for it OWHIGE.

Tried to stop you from debating malleus one time, it was a playful debate and both of you know that, but silver did not care. Dragged you away as malleus fallowed while still debating on the best ice cream flavor.

Keeps you far away from the diasomnia dorm. One talk with Sebek and it’s over for him. It’s more for sebek’s save than your own to be honest. Thankfully your dorm is octavinelle so you are far away from diasomnia, BUT STILL. ITS THE WHOLE… POINT OF THE MATTER.

— Ace —

This poor guy can’t catch a break now can he? First riddle, then deuce, THEN YOU. HIS OWN PARTNER. Doesn’t help that you’re one of the smartest people in scarabia, ONE OF THE DORMS THAT HOUSES ALL THE SMART PEOPLE.

Dude literally will get into an argument with you over something and then when you bring up your first point he’ll just “okay I’m sorry dear.” And sulk like a sad dog. JSGSJJS I LOVE THE DYNAMIC.

While he’ll sulk like a sad dog, he also think it’s really amazing when you debate with someone. Just look in awe because… damn it pays to have a attractive partner. JAGSJS NO BUT HE THINKS ITS ATTRACTIVE PROBABLY.

sandra screaming into the void about dres2 (with a side of almodovar film nerding added in for flavor and wordplay joke explanation bc watching this twice once without the subtitles and once with the subtitles is a trip):

i am a samantha apologist but i agree w diamante, i wish ariel had stayed (that being said, diamante my love, be smart, say that sort of stuff in confessionals, not out loud w the entire room, hay que tener una poquita de por favor de verdad), yes estrella has a point we couldn't stop looking at her but that isn't always a good thing even if it is what samantha does best

... pretty sure what juriji calls samantha is mamarracha in french when they're all walking into the workroom making animal noises (... or the lot of them, more like 🤣 which i mean.. fair enough)

the ariel joke estrella makes about cleaning the dirty clothes is close to the spanish equivalent of that saying about "washing your dirty laundry in public"

the wordplay supremme does before calling the pitcrew after introducing the goose game is bc chicks (pollitas) is yet another euphemism for dicks lmao (pollas)

sharonne's (wrong) answer was funny bc higo (fig) is a coloquialism for vagina (like eggplant for dick in english), the spanish saying is "en tiempo de higos no hay amigos" (lit. "in time for figs there's no friends"/"there are no real friends when it's fair weather") and her answer was "i don't have a fig"

ofc supremme is playing putricia lmao she used to do "supremme's diary" in the gran hotel de las reinas tour during intermissions when she interacted with the audience and you can tell she's having the time of her life, it's a parody of a trash talk show that caused controversy here (pretty long running it was like 10 years on air? the biggest controversy is that a russian girl was murdered by her ex after she said no to his marriage proposal in the show and the show was denounced pretty often bc it was on air during children's protected viewing times but it was, ofc, very much not suitable for kids)

at the end of the intro of supremme as putricia you can hear someone say 'pero usted quién es!?' (but who are you!?) which became a meme bc of this show (it's a vid of a guy telling a girl he wants to date her, her face says it all really but her asking who the hell is he makes it even funnier)

tortilleras (omelettiers) is an euphemism for lesbian so diamante, sharonne and estrella are calling themselves team lesbians (the other euphemism for lesbian in spain is bollera, which juriji said earlier in the episode when talking about being sad ariel left)

what the fuck was it with estrella and whatever was the black thing coming out of her mouth 💀 (edit: she said on IG that apparently it's supposed to be dirt from a snippet that got edited out from the show I can't lmao)

speaking of tortilla española, if you want to start a new civil war, ask a group of spaniards how does spanish omelette have to be cooked, not one of them will agree, in december one of my mutuals almost did start a war amongst our friends by accident when he posted this, another one of the mutuals decided to "settle" the debate making a poll. it did not help. but if you want to see the results here they are (and the correct answer is without onion btw <3)

sethlas is basically playing valentina in this challenge and I have to say it's hilarious and it isn't even jarring bc canarian accent sounds like an accent from latam, i liked this one lmao i think all of them were pretty good (i do however think that if someone would have been in the bottom, that'd be marina because she was sort of just... there), you have one guess for what does polla gorda (the name of sethlas' character) means (hint: f*t d*ck); and the joke jota makes about suppositories is not about jota herself but about the character sethlas is playing (why do the subtitles think she's talking about herself here idk)

when the subs say samantha, onyx and juriji are "the weird one, the funny one and the sexy one"... cachonda actually means horny lol

speaking of juriji, i am obsessed and i love you can ship her with half of the cast, including marina if enemies to lovers is your thing lmao (that being said so far my vote is for her and onyx)

the flan thing did kind of make me gag ngl but they did really good (it was horrifying but it was good)

idk if jota's shawl belonged to lola flores or not but estrella being a hater is really entertaining i have to say (also dancing flamenco with shawls is so much fun i automatically like it simply bc all i can think of is twirling but it's a damn a workout)

there are no words for how excited i was about the almodovar runway when they announced it and i am so sorry but you did click the read more knowing this was coming

the intro quote supremme says is a reference to an interview almodovar did around the release time of 'con los brazos rotos' which is a love declaration to cinema, ambrossi's intro line is also a ref to another interview (about being a young adult during the most hardcore years of la movida madrileña when drugs were rampant and everyone was dying for partying too much or the aids crisis), anna's line is actually 'i don't mind the genre (of the movie)' (not size) which i mean... fucking duh considering the theme of the runway and almodovar filmography (the word for gender and genre is the same in spanish); calvo's intro is literally the name of an almodovar movie of the early 00s named 'talk to her'

eduardo casanova (guest judge) compares ana locking to ana polvorosa (a spanish actress)... personally i think ana polvorosa looks more like lady camden (as in she's freaking identical) ((he became famous for playing the first openly gay kid character on the same show he acted in with ana polvorosa.. it's called aida btw))

the quotes supremme makes before announcing the runway ('existe alguna posibilidad, por pequeña que sea, de no acabar con lo nuestro?' and 'que heavy eres juana') are from the flower of my secret and kika; she also spoofs penelope cruz screaming 'pedroooo' when he won the oscar for best foreign film in 2000 (sharonne did the same in episode one when they're getting out of drag for the maja desnuda challenge)

ok now for the actual runways:

sethlas does tilda swinton in the human voice (which i have to say is freaking brilliant bc it's the one thing this man has made in english, it's a short film but it's the most likely thing to be recognizable for both younger and not spanish speaking audiences... besides juriji's penelope cruz look), the 'is that jose luis moreno?' comment casanova makes is bc jose luis moreno is a tv producer that was hospitalized bc he was attacked by two robbers with an axe in the mid 00s (yes the axe was in his head, the dude is almost 75yo, he must've been 60-ish when he was attacked, no idk how did he come out of that one alive, it's a meme)

estrella is the main character from kika and damn is that prosthetic nose identical to rossy de palma's (disgusted as i was with the sketch -which was the objective of the challenge anyway- between her performance on the sketch and this runway i was pretty sure she was going to win this week ngl), the judges make a reference to kika lorace which is another famous drag queen (she was the invited guest for snatch game last season), casanova quotes a line juana (rossy de palma) says in kika when she is on the runway

samantha starts the runway as lucia (the insane ex-wife) from women on the verge of a nervous breakdown and then turns into pepa (the lover of lucia's ex husband) which is probably one of the best known of the almodovar films? (it's definitely the one in which his films started to actually have plots for one... wacky plots but they at least started to have plots 🤣) and honestly? had samantha not been twice in the bottom already i would have been pretty content with it, it was well executed and she played to her strength bc this is what samantha does, her entire thing is changing characters and improvising, so she does reveals and plays two characters at the same time very often

venedita von dash did that, she's the main character from the 2004 bad education in which gabriel garcia bernal crossdresses for a film and it's fucking great (i don't remember what is the reference to calvo's comment on the runway but i bet you anything it was about carmen maura liking big dicks? something like that)

diamante merybrown is vera from the skin i live in which is literally the stuff of my nightmares come alive (thanks for that, pedro), if samantha got critiqued for being too simple i think the same should have applied to diamante, much as i love her (and much as it was time for samantha to go), both of them did a pretty close reproduction of the actual looks of the movies, although fake blood is always a plus (and a nice nod to the dialogue of the movie, THAT is the one thing that made it a safe for me but barely)

sharonne as marisa paredes in high heels is also fucking uncanny, the subs doesn't pick it up but ambrossi ofc makes the unavoidable marisa > marica (faggot) pun and casanova says 'oh damn eusebio poncela looks great', eusebio poncela is an actor that hates almodóvar's guts after working w him (same w carmen maura btw, she's always beefing with almodovar in public), this is brilliant bc in this movie her character is a famous singer that has a terrible reunion with her estranged daughter and they go see a drag show in which the drag queen's whole gig is imitating marisa paredes' character so she could be playing either marisa paredes or miguel bosé as marisa paredes

jota is andrea caracortada from kika; her character is the presenter of an exploitative tv show that focuses on macabre and bizarre things who wears very over the top clothes, i get ana's argument for the two tit windows being the selling point for that gautier costume design but i did like it 🤷‍♀️ (the look and 'the tampax ponytail' apparently 💀 i am sorry but i think that was rude af from ambrossi) ambrossi calls her alba flores on the runway (the granddaughter of lola flores)

juriji did that too, she's sailor pluto penelope cruz in broken embrace in a replica of vintage chanel and she looks like is a vision (i don't think i have anything else to say she's fucking stunning)

marina is zeca from the skin i live in which is still the stuff from my nightmares but given how many gender subjects are in the movie? fitting, marina is a huge almodovar fan but it would have been criminal for her to reference a different movie of his; her shoes are based on the poster of high heels (same movie sharonne's character is from); supremme makes a reference to the same lola flores song jota referenced in her intro line on ep 1 about being eaten by a tiger; idk if the 'what does she have in that bag?' 'her patience' is a ref to something else but for me it's a reference to a viral tweet by la vecina rubia, i sorta felt like she was just barely there in the acting challenge but i did love this runway (even if i don't think it's entirely on theme bc zeca is v much a straight male character not an almodovar leading lady so yay good for her)

onyx also does a look inspired by andrea caracortada from kika; casanova saying 'you won't film me anymore' is another meme quote reference (to isabel pantoja, a singer, telling off paparazzis stalking her home, it's iconic bc she basically left her house with the express purpose to beat some punks); supremme says 'kitt i need you' which is a reference to both knight rider the tv show from 1982 and a song called 'kitt y los coches del pasado' by ladilla rusa which a man called jose maria turns out to moonlight as a woman called mariví

that quote from agrado in all about my mother makes me weak i really did love this runway okay

juriji vs marina backstage? i live lmao 'no me busques que me encuentras' indeed (fuck around and find out); i in confessionals marina references 'donde estás corazón' which was a gossip show

when the judges all started to cry i wanted to cry as well; the lipsync song is a song from the movie high heels and okay damn jota did so good, samantha did what she does best but it was time, sadly

LA PROHIBIDA IS A GUEST JUDGE NEXT WEEK I CAN'T WAIT i've been waiting for her to show up on drag race since they announced season 1, she was the most famous spanish drag queen before drag race, i am so glad she'll be there next week🥰🥰🥰

watching this twice once in spanish and once with subtitles is truly an experience bc sometimes you can tell when they have a hard time discerning accents (it's not actually bad, just disconcerting bc it's close but it's not what they're saying like in episode one when onyx and samantha were messing around with the breastplates, they changed onyx saying 'my tuck is getting undone/popping up' to 'i am getting tachycardia' bc tuck is close to tach and the verb was jumping up which works with tachycardia, it really feels like them having a hard time just making out words sometimes because enunciation isn't really a thing in castilian spanish)

OSRR: 2984

PT this morning was just an intake appointment, but i still left forty minutes later sore af because WOW moving my shoulder how it's not supposed to move makes it HURT. who knew?? not me, ig. we scheduled appointments through six weeks, until i go back to the orthopedist next month. until then, i must suffer. then we can get an mri done. then they'll listen to what i have to say. the ligament in my shoulder is loose. i've had doctors acknowledge it verbally and then do nothing besides physical therapy. i can feel it. it fucking hurts. i can't sleep on it. fucking sucks. six years ago when i united my shoulder at work, when it subluxed and bruised the head of the bone, after it was all done and healed and i'd gone for PT, the doctor still said the ligament was kinda loose. well, yes. that's why i have this problem. so fix it, why don't you, and i won't have shoulder pain for the rest of my life. good lord.

anyway.

came back, showered, dressed, went to starbucks, went to work, and was busy like all day. at least i knew going into it i was gonna be busy, so that was fine. when i first went in, i took my meds and i sat down and i tried to get myself organized. kristen came over and so did a student and melissa and i was sitting in my chair, bouncing my leg, talking a mile a minute, and melissa goes, "are you caffeinated?"

i'm like "no, it makes me jittery."

me, thinking: i'm jittery anyway, but ok body

it was funny.

after work i came back and took a nap. i was fuckin exhausted after being up early and having a full day of people.

i napped until about quarter of 8 when i sleepily bumbled out of the room. i stood there as joel made grilled cheese, trying to wake up and decide what i wanted. joel finished up and went downstairs, and i decided i wanted taco bell. so i went and i got some taco bell and my quesadilla was cut the wrong way. which isn't bad, but it's fucking hysterical. and usually it's cut in four pieces, but this bad boy was cut in three. it was so funny to me. it had nacho cheese in it, which is something the other taco bell's in the area don't usually do, so i didn't ask for just shredded cheese. but it was decent. it'll get me off of wanting taco bell for a while.

anyway i got home, i grabbed the cold stuff from the fridge and freezer, grabbed my laundry, and headed downstairs. i threw my laundry in and i went to sit with joel in our space downstairs and we watched a few episodes of white collar which is really great. he likes showing me his usual shows and watching them with me. it makes me happy. i like that he can share things like that with me, that we can do things together. it was a rare night off for him from all other obligations, so it was nice to just be there together.

anyway, my laundry is now all done and folded and i'm in bed and i'm ready to sleep but not to get up early again tomorrow. 8am comes quickly. 7:15 comes moreso.

also my friends at work are planning something for thursday and the only hint i've been given is "sports car." first thing i thought of was driving a sports car which would be sick. second i thought of a delorean, which goes to back to the future because i'm getting older and is my flavor of nerdy, but other than that.

so i don't know and i don't want to know and i still have twelve million things to do. sheesh. can i have another day this week? because yikes.

[pigeonhome]

reading kale’s fic (drdi) day 1: ( part 2)

ch. 3

phil and wilbur are like: tommy has adhd and we know it

tommy and ranboo in english class are literally my only two flavors of adhd in class. either i’m fully not listening or i am writing down every single word said because i cannot retain a single thing i have no idea what’s important and what’s not also i need to color code AND draw diagrams

i’m throughly convinced tommy’s characterization is based on me at this point. even if he’s not i’m claiming him as my self insert character. he has adhd probably, likes sugary coffee, and has daddy issues.

ch.4

once again curious who the mystery person that never shows up is. i would think it’s schlatt if i didn’t know schlatt was already another character. i’m confused.

my job is mentioned in this fic : )

ch.5

MORE evidence that tommy is a pigeon-insert: he’s on financial aid. i KNOW i’m pulling at straws but i claim him. i claimed him before i read the fic and i claim him now ok

i want pizza now :,(

ch 6

i keep not having anything to say abt the dream scenes simply because he sucks and there’s not much more to say abt it.

tommy being good at math surprised me i forgot is he had a major or not???? ranboo not getting it also relatable. kales dropping some hot takes abt tha american education system via this scene and i’ll drink to that. also cheating!!!!! yay!!!!

oh it’s not a lead up they elect somebody new?? ig that’s still a lead up. i seriously don’t know who this could be. everyone’s already there. stopping dsmp when ranboo join prolly puts me at a disadvantage to guessing D: i don’t even get a hint based on the position bc tf is a graduating senator?

wilbur likes the person. hmmmmm. trying to remember the lore of dsmp tbh

WAIT IS IT TECHNO???????? geniunely figured that out as i typed this if i’m wrong i will be so sad

naming tubbo tuberculosis is of course something kale would do. i knew about this. but i still hate it.

[onigirisamu]

omg im so happy to find another osamu stan blog;; could you possibly write something about osamu and reader coming up with different types of onigiris to make? if that's okay with you

i love this prompt!! aaaAAAH i also added a little smth smth bc i love osamu too 🥺

➽───────────────❥

𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠

pairing: osamu miya x reader

genre: fluff, mild suggestive content ig

warnings: none

a/n: i dont know how to write ahajksdfhjkdsh it's also quite short so ;-;

➽───────────────❥

It was currently a Wednesday afternoon, the shop had been quite empty since it was nearing closing time except for a few people, a few people being you and Osamu.

"Here, try this one." The black haired man places the plate with a single onigiri in front of you. Your mouth suddenly watered upon seeing the new dish. "What's this one?" You pointed at the delicious looking onigiri.

"It's shrimp mayonnaise." He says with a hint of amusement. Osamu leans on the counter, watching you take a bite out of it.

"It's so good~!" You said, mid-chew, the flavors were indeed amazing. He chuckles and pats your head, messing with your locks. "You said that about the previous 12 ones."

"But it's still soo good!"

“Okay, so, what’s the best- what I mean is- the best, BEST tasting ones? You can’t say all of them.” He pressed and laughed, knowing you’d answer all of them were the best.

You and Osamu had been experimenting with onigiri flavors lately since he wanted to expand his menu. It was a difficult decision to make, picking a favorite was hard because you liked them all, to be honest, you liked everything Osamu made. 

You clicked your tongue in frustration, "But, out of all of the things we tried, I think...these were the best." You pointed to the plate of your favorite picks. He hums and nods.

"That's settled then. Thanks for helping out, Y/n." Osamu smiles softly at you as he starts to clean up. "Of course, I'm your wife." You laugh out as he pecks your forehead. He shakes his head with a chuckle and continues cleaning. 

"Oh, I almost forgot." Osamu stops in his tracks.

"Hm? What is that?" You ask, watching him walk back to the kitchen and to shortly come back with an unusually large plate.

"Eh?! What's that?!" Your eyes were surely as big as saucers right now.

"I have one last thing for you to try."

Placed right in front of you was a massive onigiri, nothing you ever seen before. You looked up at him in disbelief and laugh nervously. “What...”

"Atsumu wanted to pitch in his idea and came up with this." He sighed, putting his hands on his hips. "It's fatty tuna onigiri."

"Honey, I don't think I could eat all of this." You laugh lightly, looking at it from all sides. "How about we share it? It'll be easier that way." You suggest, pushing the plate towards him.

"Alright. I haven’t tasted it either." He somehow breaks the ball into two and feeds you the other half. There was still some left on the plate, it was just that big. 

He shoves his half into his mouth and he makes a face, as if he was thinking something. You on the other hand was quietly chewing, trying to get the whole thing to fit in your mouth. The flavors were great as usual but the sheer size of it was hard to eat. How the hell could Atsumu even eat all of this? 

You look at him for a second and laugh loudly, covering your mouth. “Huh?” Osamu looks at you confusedly as he swallows. You point to his mouth, which had a lot of stray rice littering on the corners of his mouth. “Here, I’ll get it.” You offer, swallowing. He bends down to your height and lets you swipe the pieces of rice on his face. 

“Thanks.” He says, turning to you. “But you have something on your mouth too. Do you want me to get it?” He smirks as you nod. He slowly leans down to your height again and unexpectedly steals a kiss from you. 

Osamu cups your cheeks as he deepens the kiss, you hum and melt into the kiss as well. He suddenly slipped his tongue in which surprised you, not in a bad way, not at all. It was starting to get steamy, both of your hands were roaming in all sorts of places but you suddenly remember where you were and you weren’t going to let yourself do it in his shop, maybe one day (LOL) but not right now at least. 

“H-hey! Was there really anything on my mouth?” You break the kiss by putting your hands on his chest, both of your lips puffy and wet. He chuckles and shakes his head. “I really just wanted to kiss you.” Osamu says smirking, straightening up. 

You huff and turn away but turn into shades of red soon after. Osamu wraps his arms around you as if to say ‘sorry’. You looked at him softly and laugh. “I’m kidding. I loved it. Where’d you learn how to do that?” He shrugged, not knowing either. 

“Show me more of that when we get home, so I could try it out myself why don’t you?” You say suggestively. The tips of his ears started to redden upon hearing your proposal. You both laugh at the same time and look into each others eyes lovingly.

“Well, anyways. Is Atsumu’s monster tuna onigiri a go or...” Osamu raises an eyebrow and smiles at you. 

“No.” 

“Oh thank god.”

Portland Cider Company announces the release of Abbey Apple Cider. A cider fermented with Belgian Trappist ale yeast.

Press Release

CLACKAMAS, Ore. – March 1, 2023 – Portland Cider Company is elevating its Abbey Apple Cider beyond its humble taproom-only origins into cans. This small-batch series release was an immediate favorite of pub regulars when a limited quantity was made in 2021, prompting its wider release.

In Abbey Apple, Northwest apples are fermented with Belgian Trappist ale yeast, resulting in a smooth, full-bodied cider with a bright, juicy finish. Tropical aromas rise over a hint of subtle banana and clove notes, ending with a uniquely smooth finish. 

"I’m kind of a yeast science nerd, and I love experimenting with different yeasts and learning how the flavor nuances change depending on the strain” said Deron Davenport, head cider maker at Portland Cider Co. “The Belgian Trappist yeast in Abbey Apple yields those tropical notes that you might find in a Belgian-style beer, but built on that bright, juicy apple flavor—and none of the gluten. The result is a really satisfying, smooth cider.”

Portland Cider is celebrating the launch of Abbey Apple with a Cider Makers Night from 6 to 8 pm on Thursday, March 2, 2023. Portland Cider’s own cider makers will be on hand to talk about the science and art of crafting delicious cider, answer questions, and offer some exclusive tastes of ciders still in R&D. The event takes place at Portland Cider’s Westside Pub, 4005 SW Orbit Road in Beaverton. 

“Lynda and I got our start making cider at home, and we learned from people who shared their passion for cider making with us,” said Jeff Parrish, co-owner of Portland Cider. “Listening to really dedicated cider makers talk about their art is a great way to level up your own homemade cider—or just enjoy some of ours!”

Abbey Apple Cider will be available through June on tap and in 19.2 ounce “Proper Pint” cans at Portland Cider Co’s three taprooms, as well as on the shelves of select retailers in Oregon and Washington.

About Portland Cider Company Portland Cider Company was founded in 2013 to bring hand-crafted, award winning cider to the Northwest. The company recognizes Portland and her bold spirit as the inspiration behind their innovative ciders, and promises the cleanest, tastiest, and most enjoyable cider-drinking experience the city has to offer. Including the new Westside Pub, Portland Cider has three taproom locations in the Portland Metro Area, where they encourage all to visit, sample, and expect more from the cider they drink.
