Maria doesn't know it but she's in the line of succession.

Will: What if I die with no kids?

Strohl: It's best if it goes to one of us. The exact order should be written down to prevent a succession crisis.

Will: What if we *all* die with no kids?

Strohl: *nervous laugh* That's a little morbid isn't it? It's not like—

Will: *stares at Strohl*

Strohl: —ah, right. Good point.

Strohl: ...maybe Maria?

Will: Fabienne could be regent.

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.

decembhyur, day 2: job

>SELECTION:

ACHILLE: heh, time to crack some skulls. EVANDER: try to keep yourself alive, yeah? PARIS: fair enough. PATROCLUS: let's all do our best!

:DUTY_POP.sfx:

>AI BEHAVIOR:

ACHILLE will pull more than three groups of mobs before stopping, or if evander uses Rescue to yank him back to the current trash pack. achille will prioritize AoE attacks on 4+ enemies; he rarely uses defensive cooldowns. with telegraphs, achille will not move out of the affected area in time and will take the hit without defense, and he will not join/separate from the group during stack/spread mechanics. when dealing with bosses, achille has a special mechanic in which he goes berserk based on the amount of damage he receives (he takes tankbusters with full force to build his gauge). also, he will not use Limit Break unless he's the last one standing. EVANDER is a slow healer, but his AoE and single-target DoT attacks are powerful and he prioritizes damage over healing. while his healing AoE's are limited, his single-target heals are strong based on the amount of health lost. if an ally takes avoidable damage, evander will not heal right away until they drop to a certain percentage. evander will buff allies with his tinctures and other concoctions to boost their damage output. if an ally is K.O.'d, evander has phoenix downs available due to his inability to cast Raise. he will prioritize raising paris or achille first, patroclus is last. evander does not use Limit Break unless absolutely necessary. PARIS is a selfish and aggressive dps and will often steal the Limit Break as soon as it's ready. if achille is unable to pull the next trash pack, paris will run ahead and bait the mobs to him. they follow mechanics properly most of the time and can avoid telegraphs easily due to the echo—the others will subsequently follow paris to a safe spot. as a melee dps, paris doesn't move far from the boss in order to get maximum damage from their attacks. paris tends to use their own restorative cooldowns if they drop to a certain percentage. PATROCLUS stands back from the group while he delivers ranged magical attacks. due to his arcanist-based skills, patroclus can summon pets into battle to aid allies and defeat foes. besides this, he can copy enemies with his special ink and make minions out of them. but his pets aren't invulnerable; as they are created from his aether, should they take too much damage it transfers to patroclus, similar to a DoT bleed, until they despawn. patroclus is most affected by enemy AoE's and will take the most damage as he is slow in moving out of telegraphs. stack markers usually fall on patroclus or other boss mechanics. if paris is in the party, patroclus will not cast Limit Break. if evander is K.O.'d, patroclus will cast Raise.

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

[annas-little-closet]

[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.

Bas works at the Hushed Honeybee Inn with Fabienne showing him the ins and outs of managing a restaurant. Sometimes Will pops by with a new ingredient neither have heard of, so they have a little cooking contest on who can make the best dish from it. The judge is Maria, and whichever dish wins gets put on the menu as "Maria's Recommended!" for a limited time. All profits from this dish are put towards the inn's neighborhood meals, where anyone who's hungry in Sunshade Row is encouraged to come by and share a meal together at no cost.

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.

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!!!!!
