Giancarlo Stanton wins the MVP of the ALCS for his brilliant performance in the post season!! There is no one who is more deserving. Post season Stanton is a force to be reckoned with. He only had 4 hits, but all of them were home runs. He has 7 RBIs and a total of 16 bases in 5 games. Well done!!! I love Giancarlo and I'm very happy for him. We're going to the World Series!!! See you there!! 😁😍

LET'S GO YANKEES!!!!

barbarian!bakugo + buying apples. you’ll notice I didn’t put any work into this making it more … fantasy-like. And that’s bc… I still couldn’t figure out how😞

(warning: misogyny, you are described as a maiden / dress wearing, you have a pa, world building sucks, bakugo … doesn’t talk)

-

Being the only maiden on one of barbarian!Bakugo’s cross country journeys. I’m not sure yet how or why you’re there, but I’d say he’s traveling and one of his fellow clansmen took you as a prize, or maybe you just hitched a ride on their cart yourself.

But they stop in a small village one day, parking their horses at the edge of a town square of cobblestone and brick, merchant booths surrounding the small shops: of butchers and farmers and fishermen and traders, all rowdy and beaming as they show off their wares.

The men split up (the one with green hair in a leather vest declaring he needs a blacksmith, the lanky one with dark bangs in the direction of new snare wire), though the bulky blonde one (the one in thick furs and pelts who’s never really spoken to you) stays around, picking at the shiny, pink apples of a booth quite close to where the cart you sit on in boredom is parked.

“Five gold for a sack, sir” the man behind the creaky, wooden stand says. He’s stout, thin-haired and wrinkly, all his years in the sun selling fruit showing proudly on his tanned skin. He gestures to the wide array of fruits, each like a piece of candy he wants to show off.

Bakugo (you think his name his, or rather, that’s how he was introduced to you by the redhead with unnaturally sharp teeth, biggest of the group) glances up, frown thin and tense and blood red eyes narrowed. His shoulders shift, the muscles of his exposed stomach rippling as he breathes, the smooth skin of his forehead pinching as if he’s calculating a sale just as he would any other battle or raid.

The sign next to both the men clearly states that apples are two gold a sack. Pears are three, plums are one. “But I’ll give you a deal for four gold,” the man continues.

The blonde ponders, inspecting the apples diligently as if they could be poison, or a waste of a trade. His eyes narrow slightly, lips pursing, and you realize, in his reaching for coin, the intuition he so usually takes pride in (saving the men once from a brutal hound attack, and you, too, another time when a swamp dweller caught the hem of your trousers) is not there… and that they don’t use the same alphabet. Maybe he can’t even… read.

“For two gold,” you call.

Both parties look to you. One set of eyes in an suspicious glare, the other in a tart and angry bitterness. The merchant’s leathery face sinks into a melted frown, his fists clenching as your own hand shields your eyes from the bright sun and hides a protective squint.

“Didn’t your pa ever tell you not to meddle in grown men’s business?” he half-shouts back, the laugh in his voice now tangled with a snarl, downright and plain rude.

“The sign says two,” swinging off your seat, you smooth down your simple frock as you point to the wooden board stained with charcoal that’s hung up next to him. “One sack of apples for two gold.”

Bakugo’s eyebrows raise for the briefest of seconds, then fall in another glare as his hand drops from where he holds his coin (in small, canvas bag tied to his belt with thin, leather cord. It sags against his hip, his pants dipping and uncovering a v-line that descends further into a region you’ve only seen once; at a bathing river in the hills, the bare curve and marks of your own hips exposed—)

“Don’t know where you picked up letters, missy,” the merchant scoffs. “Reading is men’s work.”

You approach the barbarian’s side, his head (messy with hair) tilted towards you as he watches on in silence. From the pocket of your dress, you take out two gold of your own and flick them on the table before you.

“My pa taught me how.”

Then you take Bakugo’s hand (thick and rough and hard to hold) in one of yours and march right back to the horses and cart. Bag of sweet, pink apples in the other.

Honestly been considering alcohol to self medicate w (not scary because I'm the kinda lightweight that gets da effex from microscopic doses), will update whether it goes well. Not today though it'd just make me sleep and we'll i would like to avoid that

[amyleecious]

Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas from amyleecious. May you have a safe and warm day.

[there-will-be-a-way]

Every Saturday and Sunday I go to the clinic to do an alcohol test - because being controlled is the only thing that keeps me sober (this plan was my idea, yes, I got praised for this by the staff 🙌🏻). So today when I went there, I asked to have a talk and confessed that I relapsed. I'm proud that I was honest. Even prouder that I stopped the relapse. I didn't continue drinking today - I genuinely didn't want to which is new.

The nurse thanked me for my honesty and offered that next time I can come over before I relapse and stay the night. Not sure if I'll manage to do that but I can try and it's good to have this option.

In Sickness and In Health - Part 1

CW for weight discussion and very mild emetophobia again

This entire series takes place after Part 2 of Into the Void, but before parts 3 and 4. If you haven't already, highly recommend you read both Shifters and Into the Void before reading this.

(Part 2)

There were so many happy faces after the NY Yankees won the ALCS Championship last night!!! It was a great celebration for a great baseball team!!! They played with all their heart and soul, and because of that, they're on their way to the World Series for the first time in 15 years!!! Congratulations to my boys!! You deserve it, and you earned it. And i needed the endorphins. 😁 I am very, very, very happy for you all!! It's our year. I've been saying that since the season started. I hope that I'm right!! I know that this team can go all the way. I can't wait for Friday!!! I wonder who they'll be playing. I'll be happy with either the Mets or the Dodgers. Either team will give us all a great series!! LET'S GO YANKEES!!!!!

Midnight Gaming: All outta gum

So last night I played Duke Nukem 3d past midnight, checked socials later and found... the skyrim mod Skyblivion presents the work they've done so for.

In one of the levels within episode 3, you can approach a building that explodes in an impressive shower of build engine glory. On it, a sign that reads "Quake Warning", prompts Duke to say the following.

"I aint afraid of no quake"

This line being in reference to id's Quake which would be releasing near Duke 3D's release and for the time, would be heralded as a big step forward for video game graphics and its engine innovations would be the groundwork for games in the future. Any other game, would've been mocked for a jab like that. Such a cocky, pretentious, petty taunt would be lauded as a meme if it were said nowadays. For a game that looks comparatively outdated when placed next to Quake, it had some balls to act defiant against its competitior.

And Duke Nukem 3d had balls indeed. Balls of steel because the game slaps. It slaps hard.

Dukes world of red light sleaze and gritty action hero gruff was a cornerstone of the build engine trilogy, that built their legacy around the theme of cheesy exploitation movies, with shadow warrior covering martial arts kung fu movies and blood invoking the gothic horror films. Redneck Rampage only barely counts in this example.

The weapon roster demonstrates a geniune display of its main characters attitude with punchy ballistics, charged energetics and bombastic explosives, rendering any alien foe that graces your path into another statistic to be included in the end of level bodycount.

The levels in duke nukem 3d charmed a lot of folks with level enviroments that had some interactive elements to them. The toxic dump level in episode 1, to name an example, has that area with the conveyor belts and the crane moving objects, enemies that you killed on those belts would have their bodies carried by the belts before being picked up and dropped onto a different track to continue their journey. Going around and getting lifted up from one place to the next, each stop being dropped and hitting the ground with a wet squelch, like the worlds most morbid crane game. Not just window dressing to act as the background for your crusade, a lot of levels had some objects that the player could use, some of them awarding the player for their curiosity. Cracks in the walls necessitating an explosive to open up shortcuts in the level and some secrets hiding caches of ammo and health. You could even use a toilet for duke to relive himself and even recover some health for the act.

The game was great sure, but theres one aspect I really didnt like and it was that you couldnt save the babes. Women who were kidnapped and strung up in cocoons by the alien menace, begging you to kill them. You could save them in the n64 port but originally? Nah, you gotta leave them behind or perhaps comply with their request. And that sucks, Duke would never leave them behind. Heck he swears vengeance on the alien invaders for kidnapping them, he wouldnt leave a babe behind. Course what Duke is or does has been a matter of debate amongst the modern audience...

The Duke has had a rocky time since Duke 3d, with following games not meeting the height of 3d's success and with Forever going down as a tale of waiting for over a decade just to be presented with a wet fart. The character of Duke Nukem has been scrutinised and picked apart until it became disregarded as "a product of its time" and nothing more.... until nowadays at least. The internet has certanly turned Duke from an expy of every 90's action hero to funny meme guy, a change that is promoted heavily thanks to voice actor Gianni Matragrano's shitpost videos that features the duki nuki man himself.

The version of Duke Nukem 3d I played was the Megaton Edition that was once sold on steam before a certain randy delisted it in favour of a different version titled world tour. And world tour wasn't much of an improvement over megaton, mainly because while the new episode was neat, it didnt have any of the expansions that were available. No duke it out in DC, no Caribbean, not even the christmas one. That kinda sucks. I hope the duke manages to escape the randy pit and gets another game, one that takes inspiration from the memes and shitposts in the same way Doom took inspiration from brutal doom and the rip and tear meme.

Anyways, news. You played Skyrim I am assuming. Why wouldnt I, its been released to several platforms and will only stop being rereleased when elder scrolls 6 comes out. But until that time, lets discuss the game that came before Skyrim, Oblivion.

Oblivions been my first Elder Scrolls game and I enjoyed it for what it was, a neat lil open world fantasy rpg that young me mainly played with the tgm cheat to activate god mode. So far, bethesda hasnt tried to remaster the older elder scrolls games (thank goodness) though fans have been working on mods that recreate those older entries within Skyrim. Skywind is one example that rebuilds Morrowind within Skyrim and it seems to be making decent progress, though the one i'm gonna talk about today is Skyblivion.

Recently, Skyblivions development team has released a video preview of the work they've accomplished, focusing mainly on the town of chorrol and a couple of quests. Its looking pretty damn good and I hope to able to play it around the 2025 release date. Assuming bethesda doesnt "update" oblivion and end up completly breaking a lot of mods, which is partly the reason why the fallout 4 mod, fallout london, requires you to downgrade to an older version. We shall wait and see.

Anyways, see you all tomorrow. Feel free to leave game suggestions and feedback. Anons are currently on.

what do we think of this one meeks fans...

(the picture on the left is the reference i used for the dress - i'm not sure if it's ACTUALLY 1920s fashion, if anyone can tell me what time it's actually from i'd appreciate it a lot :p)
