"‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎one leg falls over the other, an act of ease as she offers him a gentle smile‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(she can feel it, a genuine compliment, and slowly any anxiety of a one-on-one conversation, with transactions voided, becomes a bit simpler). ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎" you know i used to come see you before i turned?‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎i loved it, every second‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎...‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎so why the long face?

cricket and josiah had dipped down through texas to dispose of the body in the gulf of mexico. let the sharks get it. the end of calista spalding 1.0, ready to be replaced by a newer, better version. she'd fried her hair blonde with a box of bleach, and was in the passenger seat making her way back up to atlanta. she'd flipped the visor and down and was practicing covering her thick southern drawl with a more new yorker accent in the mirror. she was so caught up in perfecting the act she didn't even notice when josiah pulled over to a pit stop on the side of the road. the signs plastered all over the little shack offered cheap gas and, apparently, the best barbeque in texas.

she supposed she could eat. it'd been a few days since her last meal. she stepped out of the car, stretched her hands above her head and arched her back. but what she saw inside killed her appetite. it was another one of them. a stranger with her exact face, an alien, a clone. some kind of monster. there was no doubt in her mind. she couldn't kill this one, it was surrounded by a big family and out in broad daylight. plus, cricket needed answers, maybe this one had some.

she approached the skin walker with hostility. "who are you?" she demanded. "and why are you wearing MY face?"

Israel has planned its latest bombing campaign around the American consumer. They waited for the Super Bowl to begin before they launched a violent attack on Rafah Refugee Camp.

So between the noise of Beyoncé’s new album, Taylor Swift cheering on her boyfriend and Usher’s performance, we are viewing the corpses of dead children.

We are truly living in dystopian times.

Roisia in her original Divinity: Original Sin build was a witch and witchcraft spells are a combination of D&D's Necromancy + Enchantment schools. I replicated that in-game and had a think about the… complications that might arise when Astarion realises that this unassuming woman has also been a bit of a deft hand at persuading, deceiving, and manipulating her targets too.

“I like weird. I like weird a lot.”

"we'll get along just fine then," cricket says, running her long nails through her bleach damaged curls. it's not that she likes weird, hell, she doesn't like much of anything besides partying. sex and drugs and violence. but she's been told all her life just how weird she is. "you might even like me," she adds.

I love you albums. I love you songs connected by similar themes. I love you listening to songs in a specific order picked by the artist. I love you reoccurring motifs throughout the same album. I love you album covers. I love you albums with extended editions. I love you songs that reference each other.
