Mile High Club - Just Us Chapter 97

Warnings 18+: Smut, Fingering (Wanda Receiving), Public Sex

Word Count: 5090

Series List | Chapter 96 | Chapter 98

================================

So once again we were awoken at 5 am by the sound of my alarm this morning. Be proud of me because I didn't fall out of bed this time. Which deserves a nice pat on the back. Well done, me. 

This time Wanda also got up with the alarm since she had a long nap yesterday, so she made coffee for me while I went to wake up the two teenage boys. Maybe that's all she is keeping me around for? Waking up the boys so they hold a grudge against me and not their mother.

I mean they are both giving me the evils through the rearview mirror right now, and my god is it just as scary as when Wanda does it. I give them a small smile as I look back to the road, Wanda's hand on my thigh squeezes gently and I move my hand on top of hers, lacing our fingers together. Her thumb starts rubbing along my thumb, content with the small amount of physical contact between the both of us. She isn't as clingy as yesterday, not that there's anything wrong with that, but we haven't gone five minutes without having some form of contact. 

I suddenly jerk my hand away from Wanda's when I move to put my arm across Wanda as my foot hits the brake, the car coming to a screeching stop. Wanda's hands are holding my forearm against her chest and I immediately turn around to check on the boys.

"You two okay?" They both slowly pull their seat belts so they aren't trapped in place giving me a thumbs up and humming out a yes. "What about you princess? You okay?" I turn to look back at Wanda as I see the boy's eyes widen as they look at the reason I slammed the brakes on.

"I'm okay baby. My heart is going a little fast but I'm okay." I flatten my palm against her chest feeling her heart beating rapidly and I give her an apologetic smile, her eyes having never left mine for a moment.

"I'm sorry I just didn't want us to hit that." She now turns to look out the window at her jaw drops.

"Wolves." She breathes out in awe, sitting forward in her chair to look out the windscreen as her hand keeps my arm against her. 

I hear the boys unbuckle their belts leaning forward between mine and Wanda's seats, their eyes wide with wonder at the sight before us. There is a pack of 8 wolves currently crossing the road ahead of us. There are 4 older looking wolves, 2 of them at the front of the small pack and 2 of them at the back. I hear Wanda gasp when she sees the pups running around and play fighting on the road, squeezing my arm in excitement. 

One of the older wolves turns its head to look towards the car, the orange hues of its eye glowing brightly in the headlights. The pups roll over one another and once they are safe in the woods, the older wolf that is looking at us turns around and follows the pups.

"This is so cool." Tommy breaks the small silence that has befallen the car as all our eyes watch the wolves disappear into the dark forest. 

I look over to Wanda who's eyes flick to mine at the movement and a huge smile makes its way onto her face as she shuffles in her seat excitedly. The boys lean back in the chairs, once we can no longer see the wolves, and put their seat belts back on. I start to drive away as Wanda’s eyes follow the patch of forest where the wolves disappeared into before turning back to me. She drops my arm so my hand lands on her thigh, her hand moving to rest on top of it and I start to gently rub my thumb on the outside of her thigh. Not for anything but the touch, that we both relish in. 

The rest of the drive is uneventful as Wanda and the boys all fall asleep to the light music that is playing quietly, and the darkness from outside helping to ease them into sleep. I have continued to hold my hand on Wanda's thigh, my thumb every now and again stroking at it, because the one time I went to take my hand off her thigh she whimpered in her sleep at the loss. 

So now I know, rough plus kinky sex equals cuddly and clingy Wanda. 

Good to know.

I pull the car into one of the many spaces in the car rental car park, turning it off as I look at Wanda. I start to rub my hand up and down Wanda's thigh as I bring my other hand to her head that is gently resting on her palm, her elbow on the door. My finger traces the edges of her face from her right temple, down to and along her jaw before moving up to her left temple. I trace the finger along her eyebrow before moving down the bridge of her nose that causes it to scrunch slightly at the feeling.

"Princess, it's time to wake up, we are at the airport." Wanda lets out a tired groan as my finger moves down to her lips gently tracing over the slightest cracked and dry skin. 

"5 more minutes." She grumbles sleepily as she pushes her face into her hand.

"I'm sorry princess, but you gotta get up. You can sleep on the plane." Wanda tiredly opens one eye, her other hiding behind the palm of her hand, a small smile making its way onto her face.

"Hi baby." Her voice raspy with sleep and I smile back at her at the sound of her thick accent that she hasn't hidden away from me since the day I told her not to.

"Hello princess." I lean across to her, my hands still on her face and thigh, and gently press my lips against hers as she hums at the feeling.

"Do you want to get the bags? I will wake the boys up this time." She mumbles against my lips as she moves her head away from her hand, opening her other eye; both of them glistening in the early morning sun.

"Okay. I love you." I whisper between us for only her to hear.

"I love you too, dorogaya." Wanda presses her lips back against mine as I smile into the kiss at the pet name. 

"I really like that you're using dorogaya again." I pull away completely, resisting the urge to kiss her again, my thumb rubbing gentle circles on her cheek. Her fingers trace patterns on the back of my hand that's on her thigh as she turns her head to press a kiss to my palm.

"Mmm, well you smile everytime I say it and I love your smile. So I'm going to say it as much as I can, dorogaya. Do you prefer it over, baby?" I hum in thought as my eyes scan her soft features, her eyes diligently watching the action.

"Don't get me wrong, I love when you call me baby but your accent plus dorogaya. Literally shivers." Wanda gives me a toothy smile as she giggles a little, her eyes flicking to the boys before leaning forward so her lips ghost mine. 

"Dorogaya." Wanda over pronunciates every part of the word, saying it slowly, her voice croaking slightly as her voice is full of that spine tingling accent; biting my lip as my eyes flick to watch the movement of her lips.

Our eyes flick to the back when we hear a small grumble and Tommy fluttering his eyes open as he stretches his arms above his head, giving us both a sleepy smile. Wanda takes the opportunity, of me looking at the young boy, to plant a kiss on my cheek before moving to get out of the car. I reach over and give Tommy's knee a small squeeze before getting myself out of the car and looking over to Wanda who is stretching out while making a bunch of weird noises. They are the best stretches. 

I walk to the back of the car, Tommy jumping out the car to follow me, and as I open the door I watch Wanda carefully try and wake Billy up. Tommy helps to unload the bags, while I watch Wanda struggle to lift Billy out of the car so I put my bags on the floor and make my way around to her. 

"You good princess?" I giggle when she huffs trying to get the seatbelt off Billy.

"He is hardly awake, he must have had another rough night last night." I smile at her, placing my hand on her shoulder gently pulling her away.

"You grab the bags, I've got Billy." 

"Are you sure? He might get mad at you for waking him up again." I see a small hint of worry as her eyes flick between me and Billy.

"I'm not going to wake him up." Wanda gives me a confused look, but I don't answer, I simply turn to look at Billy's sleeping body.

I lean into the car, pulling Billy's arms over my shoulders and gently place my hands on both his legs as I manoeuvre him out of the car. I turn to Wanda, jumping ever so slightly to push Billy's body up more and wrap my arms under his bum and his arms sleepily curl around the back of my neck.

"I'm going to carry him until we have to go through security." Wanda steps forward rubbing her small hand up and down Billy's back and he stuffs his face into my neck as he sleepily whines into it. 

"I love you." Wanda's eyes flick from watching the movements of her hand on Billy's back to my eyes as she takes in the sight before her.

"I love you too, princess. Come on, let's get going before we miss our flight." 

~~~~~

I gently jump up and down as I whisper Billy's name trying to get him to wake up as we wait in line for security checks. Wanda turns around to watch as Billy stuffs his face moving it side to side as he grumbles against my skin. 

"Don't wanna get up mama." I freeze at his words, not quite sure if I actually heard him correctly and when I look down to Wanda I realise she must have heard him too because her jaw is slightly ajar and eyes wide with shock. I rapidly blink and start to rub my hand up and down his back.

"Come on bud. Your mama is right next to us, but you need to get up for me. Just to go through security, I can pick you back up once we are through." 

"Mama wha…" Billy removes his head from my neck, his eyes going slightly wide when he realises he is in my arms and not Wanda's. "Oh, hi Y/n."

"Hi buddy." I bring my hand from his back to his forehead pushing his hair out of his face.

"Sorry, I thought mom was the one waking me up in the car." I lightly shake my head with a smile.

"Don't worry that little head of yours. I technically stole you from your mom. Can I put you down though?" 

"Mhmm." I slowly let him slide down my body as he rubs the back of his hands on his eyes to rid them of sleep and he takes a moment to balance when his feet hit the floor. He gives me a small smile before turning around trying to wake himself up more, while I feel an arm wrap around my waist.

"Did he call you mama?" Wanda stands on her tiptoes as she whispers into my ear, and I shake my head. 

"He thought I was you." I turn to see her frown pushing her lips to the side as her eyes look between me and Billy but slowly nods, deciding not to say anything else on the matter. I pull her with me as Billy and Tommy start placing their bags down on the trays ready to go through the scanner. 

"You okay?" Wanda's hand squeezes my hip as she asks the question, looking up at me with her eyes full of adoration. 

"I'm okay." I lean down to peck her lips before moving to put my own bag in a tray as she walks through the body scanner and over to the boys. I walk through the scanner and cringe when it goes off, sometimes they do sometimes they don't but every fucking time they do its a wild ride to try and convince them I have metal in me.

"Come over here please ma'am." I cringe even more at the use of ma'am, I'm 22 for Christ sake not 80.

"I have medical papers in my ba…." The TSA agent uses his metal detector stick to lift one of my hands up which I instinctively jerk away earning a warning glare from the man.

"Arms up, legs shoulder width apart. Back facing me please." I roll my eyes following his orders before looking at Wanda and the boys, who have collected my bag for me and they look through it for the papers I was on about. 

"I have medical papers to prove…." 

"Unfortunately I still need to scan you, just to be on the safe side." I roll my eyes but begrudgingly agree as he starts to scan my arms. 

"Nice little family you got there." I smile politely at his attempt to make conversation.

"Yeah, they really are wonderful." I smile across to the three of them, Wanda waving the papers in her hand but I shake my head and she stuffs them back in the bag rolling her eyes towards me. 

"So how long have you been together?" The man asks as he starts scanning across my back and the machine goes wild along my spine. 

"Just over a month." He raises his eyebrows in surprise as he lifts his scanner back up my spine until it goes haywire again. 

"And you already met the kids. Lucky you. Wish my girl would let me meet her children. You said you had medical papers?" My small frustration leaves my body when I realise he is just doing his job and doesn't seem to have anything against me. 

"Yeah, they are in my bag. How long have you and your girl been together?" He nods in understanding as he starts to scan my legs, once again the machine beeping erratically. 

"3 months tomorrow. Turn around for me please." I spin around looking at the man, who matches my height easily. 

"Maybe bring it up, say you're ready. It may just be that she is not. What's the relationship like with the dad?" He starts scanning again as he shakes his head.

"There isn't one. Left her and the child when the kid was 2. She's 4 now." 

"Well maybe she is afraid the same thing will happen. Just talk to her. See what she says."

"What if she says she isn't ready?" Am I really having this conversation with a complete stranger while he scans my body with a fucking metal detector? Yes, yes I am.

"Then she isn't ready, you just have to be patient. It's hard being a parent, I've seen that first hand. You have yourself and someone else to protect. She might surprise you if you just talk to her." He gives me a smile as he puts the scanner back in its holder beckoning the boys and Wanda over who are quick to stand at my side.

"Sorry, just doing my job but could I see the medical papers?" 

Wanda gets the now crumpled piece of paper out of the bag and when I give her a questioning brow she simply shrugs. Billy leans against me wrapping his arms around my neck so I quickly lift him back up and he pushes his head against my neck as he mumbles a thank you. 

"Well you folks are good to go. Sorry for the delay and thanks for the advice." Wanda looks between me and the TSA agent and I shrug my shoulders earning an eye roll from the woman I love. 

"No problem. Hope it all goes well. Have a nice rest of your day man." I hold my hand out which he quickly takes and gives me a small handshake.

"Safe flight." He says as he drops my hand.

"You too." I cringe, my head dipping so my head rests against Billy's shoulders as the TSA agent just laughs.

"Don't worry, you're not the first and you won't be the last person to say that to me." He laughs out as I give a small nod and the 4 -well 3 - of us start walking towards our gate, Billy falling asleep easily on me. 

"How long till our flight?" Wanda looks over her shoulder smiling at the sight of Billy sleeping in my arms once again.

"Maybe 20 minutes." Wanda hums in acknowledgement as we head towards our gate. 

~~~~~

"There you go buddy." I gently place Billy down in his seat, doing up his seat belt as he smiles at me tiredly. 

"Thank you Y/n." I give him a smile as I brush some hair out of his face.

"Of course. Try and stay awake until we take off, then once we are in the air you can sleep."

"Okay. Love you." I place a small kiss on his forehead.

"Love you too buddy." I ruffle his hair before moving to my seat next to Wanda and pulling the small door across so we have a bit more privacy. 

"Hi baby." She turns in her seat with a gleaming smile. 

"Hi princess." I grab her hand and start littering kisses along the back of it and up her arm relishing in the giggles that pass her lips. 

"Can you hold my hand on take off again?" She asks sweetly, biting at the corner of her lip. 

I move my hands to cup either side of her face, my fingers intertwining with her hair as the tips of them come to rest around her ears and my thumbs start rubbing small circles on her cheek bones. Her eyes flutter shut at the sensation, her lip being pulled into her mouth more as her head relaxes into my touch and I'm practically holding her head up for a few moments. After a few seconds her eyes open up slowly, her piercing green eyes staring into mine as she turns her head slightly so her lips come to rest on the inside of my wrist on my right hand. 

"I will always hold your hand." The corner of her lip pulls upwards but not too soon after she playfully pulls the skin of my wrist between her teeth, so gently I barely feel it before releasing it and planting a kiss on the same spot. 

I do exactly as I said I would holding her hand once the plane started barrelling down the runway, hers squeezing mine so tight I swear I lost feeling for a good few minutes. I even sang the same songs I did when we left for Canada and Wanda couldn't stop speaking praises about my voice and how she wants to hear me sing all the time. I blushed from the attention, not used to people talking about my voice so highly, and in turn Wanda blushed as she realised she was gushing about it. 

We are a few hours into the flight with only a few more to go, when Wanda decides she is bored of sitting in her seat. So pushes me over in mine as she gets comfortable next to me; the chair already reclined fully down. Wanda then pulls a blanket over us as she pushes her slightly cold face into my neck, her cold skin against my warm skin sending a small shiver down my spine. 

I start to reposition myself to get more comfortable, also ensuring Wanda stays mostly where she has planted herself. Which is mostly on top of me, like normal, and this is why it's becoming more and more clear that there won't be a certain side of the bed we sleep on soon. The whole bed will be mine as slowly but surely I become Wanda's. I mean more often than not she will fall asleep with most of her body on top of mine and when we wake up, she has moved in her sleep so she is completely on top of me. 

It's cute. 

Anyway… 

I push my arms under Wanda’s body slightly as I pull her more onto me, missing the way she gasps against my neck as we settle down. It's only when she lets out a low hum into my neck while her teeth start to graze the skin do I realise something might be up. 

"You okay princess?" 

"Mhmm." She nods against my neck as her body sinks further into mine, another low hum vibrating against my neck. 

"What's got you humming away into my neck." She kisses the underside of my jaw before planting her teeth on the skin there playfully biting at the bottom of my jaw.

"Your knee." Is all she says in a breathy tone and it confuses me slightly. 

"My knee? What about my knee?" 

As I say it I move my legs and when I feel my knee hit up against Wanda and a sigh passes her lips before it turns into a hum as she pushes herself against my knee more. My knee is placed nicely between her legs and I smirk to myself. 

"Oh my knee." I say smugly as my hands creep down to Wanda's hips, holding them still since I know she will start moving them if I don't. 

"Yes. Your knee." She flushes bright red when I pull my knee into her more and push her hips downwards so she can get the most amount of pressure on her core. 

"Princess, we are on a plane. In public." Wanda brings her head out from my neck hovering it over mine slightly. 

"I don't care." I raise my brows at her whispered confession. "And this is a lot more private than both of us disappearing into the toilet, because everyone would know. But here no one can see us." 

"I guess it is." 

I press my thumbs against her hips, holding her up as I move my knee away smirking at the small whine I hear and her pleading eyes. I slide one hand up her back all the way to the back of her neck where I gently grip it and slowly lower her head into my neck. I turn my head slightly to whisper into her ear.

"You are going to have to stay quiet for me princess. Any noise that's too loud and I will stop. Understood." 

"Understood." I keep her head in my neck with my hand, as my other one pushes her body to the side of me more trying my best to make this look as inconspicuous as possible if someone was to check in on us. 

With her body mostly on the chair, but one of her legs still on top of mine and her head in my neck, I move my hand from her hip down to her pants. Luckily, we all decided on sweatpants because they are the most comfortable thing to wear when flying so my hand easily slips under the waistband. I can feel the heat radiating from her core through her underwear as I gently tease her clit through the fabric. 

"Always so wet for me." I husk into her ear, pulling it gently between her teeth as she whimpers against my neck.

"Always." She whispers back in the same husky tone. 

"Are you sure princess?" I ask, as I start to push her underwear to the side. 

"Please touch me." She begs quietly in my ear, her hips jolting every so slightly when I run my fingers over her core, collecting her wetness as I do. 

"Your wish is my command." Before she can say anything in return I sink two fingers into her entrance knowing she can handle the sudden intrusion and she buries her face into my neck more to keep herself quiet. 

I press my thumb against her clit, putting pressure on it as I roll my thumb around it. I start with a slow pace of moving my fingers in and out of her. Her leg moves further across mine, opening herself up a little more as she hums into my neck when I curl my fingers inside her. My other hand finds its way into her hair and I grip it tightly pulling her head back slightly, biting her lip to hide a moan as her dark eyes look into mine. 

"You're doing so well for me babygirl." Her eyes roll to the back of her head as I find the spongy part and curl my fingers against it, her body arching slightly towards me. 

"Fuck...y/n." Wanda breaths out as she pushes her face against my shoulder as her body gently rocks with my slow pace. 

Her teeth sink into my shoulder when I push another finger in, stretching her out and I start to push my fingers deeper but keeping the pace infuriatingly slow wanting to work her up and make it worth the wait. She moans quietly into my shoulder as I start to speed up the movement of my thumb on her clit, putting more pressure on it as I roll my thumb around it more. 

I start curling my fingers with every small thrust, speeding up ever so slightly and her hips start to move to the rhythm of my fingers. Wanda moves her face to bury it into my neck as my fingers hit a particularly pleasurable spot as she moans into my skin. I can hardly hear the moan so I decide it's safe to continue and not use my threat quite yet.

"Harder….please." Wanda whines into my ear as I follow her demand straight away, thrusting into her hard and pulling out slowly as I curl my fingers. 

"Cum when you're ready Princess." Knowing she will ask for permission shortly once her walls start to clench around my fingers. 

A few more hard thrusts later, she bites down hard on my neck, her hands scratching down my sides, a moan muffled by my skin as it vibrates into my neck. Her walls suffocate my fingers so much I can hardly move them and her hips twitch as she releases onto my fingers. I keep my fingers inside her to help her through her high, as she removes her teeth from my neck and starts placing kisses along the mark she has left. 

She whimpers as I remove my fingers from inside her, one of her hands grabbing my wrist and pulling my wet fingers up to her mouth. She places my three fingers into her mouth, moaning lightly at the taste of herself as her tongue moves around them to get every last bit. Her hips twitch slightly when I push my fingers in further, her eyes rolling back as she sucks on them a little harder. Knowing that we are still very much in public I reluctantly remove my fingers from her mouth wiping the saliva coated digits on my shirt. 

Wanda's eyes flutter open, her green orbs shining brightly as she looks at me and her face flushes red, stuffing it back into my neck. I let out a small hiss, the sudden movement causing my neck to jerk and the bite mark I now know is definitely there sending a small bit of pain shooting up my neck. Wanda delicately starts kissing the hurt, her hand moving to trace the mark once she removes her face from my neck to look at me. 

"You okay?" Her eyes flick to the mark then back to my eyes.

"I'm okay. How does it feel to be a part of the mile high club?" I ask cheekily as Wanda hits my chest in embarrassment.

"Don't even start." I smile cheekily at her as she rolls her eyes. 

"I'm just saying, we are now both honorary members." Her fingers start to trace patterns on my chest as her eyes don't look away from me. 

"I love you." I melt at the soft tone in her voice and she must see it because she gives me a fuzzy smile before nuzzling her face gently into my neck. 

"I love you too princess." I weave my hand through her hair. "So what do you want to do when we get home?" 

"Unpack, watch a movie, order food and sleep." I giggle at the pre prepared list. 

"Okay. Then tomorrow we can set stuff up for Halloween." Wanda removes her head from my neck with wide eyes.

"Oh shit. It's Halloween. I haven't even got the boys costumes." I peck her nose making it scrunch.

"It's okay. We can sort something out. I may have something on the back-burner so just give me the go ahead and we will have something for tomorrow." Wanda smiles at me in slight surprise. 

"You have the go-ahead otherwise we won't have anything to wear."

"Okay." I see her eyes start to close and a small yawn passes her lips. "Go to sleep Princess, I will be here when you wake up."

"Is this our forever?" Wanda whispers out as she practically climbs on top of me to sleep, I scrunch my brows not quite sure I heard her correctly, as she once again places her head in the crook of my neck.

"Is what, what now?" My hands move to gently rub up and down Wanda's back as her body sinks against me more. 

"This right here. All of it. Is this our forever?" She questions lightly, her lips moving against my neck as she speaks so quietly, her hot breath fanning over my ear and neck. 

"I would love this to be our forever." Wanda leaves a small peck against my neck, breathing out gently as she whispers between us.

"Me too dorogaya."

Dragon Age Veilguard first six hours of gameplay from someone who hasn't waited a decade for the game and who absolutely loved every part of Origins yes even the fade yes even the deep roads yes even the brecilian forest yes even the circle yes even denerim yes

Well first off be ready for the game to have a SHIT optimization. I had to restart my guy a grand total of six times until I was able to progress past the first rage demon crossing the screen three minutes after the introduction cinematics. My recommendation is get rid of the shader cache on your PC settings, delete the shader cache folder in the game files, lower the resolution settings, uncheck the hair strand animation that looks like ass anyways, and maybe restart your computer for good measure after that. Doing all this by trial and error went from the game loading 96% of the shaders in 45 minutes then crashing to starting in 3 seconds and not crashing (that is. Until the cinematic with Morrigan four-five good hours later which prompted me to go to bed. I suspect my PC of overheating and the shader cache to still be too large)

Now that your game is up and running well. Well that character creator is fucking amazing innit. It's a really good mix between all previous BioWare character creator iterations and it allows to make guys with very interesting facial features and good control over pretty much everything without being too huge and overwhelming, and still retaining some of the physiology of the different people from the previous games (contrary to what some steam comments would have you believe about the qunari –who had one (1) face model in DA2, cmon)

As for the fights, they've completely changed from the previous games, bye bye real time strategy and welcome final fantasy 7 type combat with perfect timing dodge and parry, and sometimes asking your companions to do some special actions (not ATB gauge tho, but you DO have a cool finish). And to my great pleasure, hello difficulty calibration ! This bangs. I'm gonna make the enemies even a bit more dangerous than I already did because I'm still not really challenged during the fights so far :)

Speaking of calibration I am extremely impressed by the accessibility tools, there's the now usual screenshake toggle, but also a screenshake slider, a size and opacity slider for subtitles, adapted colors for colorblind people you want it you name it !

Keyboard and gamepad binding are fully customizable, which is nice because you have quite a lot of tools during the fights and it takes a while to find a comfortable way to play. Luckily, the introduction is long enough that you don't feel unsatisfied by the fights you use as calibration I'd say.

In terms of the game itself the fights are quite fun ! I do miss the strategic aspect of DAO but I can also always replay DAO if I want that lol. There's still puzzles which I love, making you explore the environment a bit more, and the environment seems dense at first but is pretty easy to read thanks to a solid artistic direction. I love you artistic direction I am kissing you on the mouth. Yup this game looks a bit "cartoony" in its art they've chosen to go away from hyper realism and boy am I glad. In my opinion, the game looks a lot like Origins if it had better, more recent lighting tech and cleaner textures. I really like it ! It's still quite dark, at least in those first few hours it's been quite fucking dark lmao I don't know who out there thinks it's just silly goofy but may I remind you a recurring theme of Origins, the game where there's a dozen of you fighting a war against a living plague that eats the world while the royalty has sent assassin's after you, is that the country smells of wetdog ? Dragon Age has a lot of silly moments. It's true that Veilguard so far suffers a bit from the Cool Quip disease but I'm still very much at the beginning and I trust that I'll see the relationship develop between characters. Overall my biggest fear is that with only three choices carrying over from Inquisition (who you were in a couple with, did you disband, what'd you tell Solas at the very end), the game might make me face a world state I had no part of and that will frustrate me from the "everything carries over across a twenty year history" game franchise. Already felt weird getting a letter from Isabela due to the background I've chosen and not reading a word about Hawke. I wanna hear about Dagna and the Warden commander and how the royal family is doing in Denerim and whether Sebastian fucked off forever in the end and how are Leli's nugs doing >:( and I want to see Sandal again >:(

Overall fun time so far will come back to you all with more and with screenshots and shit over the week !

Zuko: He's Just Better Than Aang🤷🏾‍♀️

Frankly, I think Zuko in season 1 was more altruistic than Aang was during the entire series. Yes, it was the season where he was arguably at his worst, but it's also the season where he risked his life to try to save the man who had tried to murder him. He still had the injuries he sustained in the attempt, and still, Zuko tried to save him.

Meanwhile, Aang didn't go out of his way for anyone. The times he did "try to help", was more about his reputation as Avatar than actually wanting to help in those instances, and he gave up as soon as it got too hard. Remember The Great Divide? Zuko went with Sokka on a suicide mission to try and save Hakkoda. Aang wanted to run off and go play the day after Hakkoda risked his life to save him. Let that sink in. The father of the girl he allegedly "loves" has been captured trying to save Aang's life, his friends are distraught, and Aang can't muster up the empathy to sit with them to plan the next move. Not even to get in Katara's good graces. But I'm supposed to believe that Katara would realistically choose Aang over Zuko? Like...

Katara: Oh, that's such a pretty flower! Zuko: It's dragon lotus. It's one of my favorites. Katara: Did you get it for Mai? Zuko: er…No. Flowers aren't really her thing. Some guy was giving them out on the street to celebrate the end of the war, and well… Katara: I should see if I can get one then. Zuko: He's probably gone by now, but here, you can have this one. Katara: It's yours, though. I can't take it. Zuko: Please do! Uncle always says that the greatest aspiration of any flower is to adorn a pretty woman. Er…that is…I didn't mean to say that… Not that you aren't pretty, I'm just not…you know…it wasn't a come on Katara: trying not to laugh Don't hurt yourself, Zuko. I get it. I'll take the flower. Thank you! It smells wonderful! Zuko: In the Fire Nation, women wear these in their hair. Katara: Oh? Tucks flower behind her ear Like that? Zuko: Yes, but I think it'll be more secure in your bun. May I?….There. That's perfect. And Uncle was right

I saw one of your post from a couple of weeks ago where you mentioned you are a Christian. How can you support abortion?

Well, first of all, pro-choice isn't pro-abortion. I just want to make sure that's clear. I don't think anyone is pro-abortion for abortion's sake. Second, I chose to be a Christian. I had to study and pray and get advice and really weigh my decision before I got baptized, and it was months before I finally made my choice (and I have a few friends who took years to make that decision). There's a lot that I do or don't do because I'm a Christian and I hold the bible as my standard, but I had a choice in the matter. Now, I am abstinent because I believe sex is for marriage, and I only date men who agree. But not everyone in this country is a Christian. Not everyone chooses abstinence or celibacy. Not everyone wants a child. Not everyone should have children. None of that is my business.

Who am I to force the standards I chose onto someone who didn't choose them? And who am I to force a life-altering decision on someone after I was given so much agency on my own life-altering decision? I truly believe that banning abortion will do more harm than good in the long run, especially if these nuance-free pro-life radicals actually succeed in criminalizing contraceptives and birth control, and in completely getting sex ed taken out of schools. Which is looking likelier by the hour.

Here's the thing that gets me about the whole "Zutara is anti-feminist" take. Their relationship in canon is platonically supportive after they reconcile. Before that, they met as enemies in battle, yes, but there was nothing inherently sexist in how Zuko interacted with Katara, especially in comparison to how she was treated by her own friends and allies, and even her own brother.

Romantic Zutara is completely fan-created (canon chemistry notwithstanding), and a large portion (if not most) of the creators, as far as I can tell, identify as women. In those fan creations, Katara gets to be a world leader who is loved by a supportive man who adores her strength and is there for her in her weak moments. Zutara the ship is at its core very feminine. Also, except for making the romance overt instead of subtextual, that's pretty much how Zuko treated her in canon after they became friends. Compare that to what Katara is reduced to in the actual canon, and it's hard to understand why anyone would think that of the two ships Zutara is the one that is anti-feminist and bad for Katara.

My #1 post of 2022

You know, I often lament the fact that Katara lost out on a supportive partner who respected and trusted her when Zutara didn't happen, but Zuko lost out, too. He lost out on marrying into a family that would have given him the love, encouragement and support that they gave each other. Hakoda, Sokka and Bato would have taken such joy in introducing Zuko to the SWT customs that were handed down from father to son for generations. Hakoda would have absolutely given him as much advice as he could as a leader in his own right balancing the duties of chiefdom and family. Kanna would have grown to love this uncertain boy king who didn't think it was a humiliation to help her around the home. He missed out on having a wife who would back him up and advise him as he figured out how to be the leader his country needed. No matter how bad things got in the Fire Nation, he would have had a tight-knit family support group to make sure he got through it.

When you take a step back and look at all the ways Katara and Zuko would have filled in for what the other was missing, I get annoyed all over again that all that parallel and convergent development was set aside for pairings that were somehow the blandest and most toxic that anyone on that writing team could have come up with. It is so clear that Zutara was supposed to be endgame and they got robbed for Bryke's pet ship.

WEEK 6 - Wrap Up

What a Week for NYC

What a crazy week for the New York Football Teams....Jets and Giants. With the Jets upsetting the Eagles and the Giants coming so close to taking down the Bills at home....I just kept thinking about this Fred Armisen bit about New York accents and had to post. Nothing more to say - just think he's funny. Welcome to week 6 wrap up!

MALIK MY BALLS vs MOOSES ON THE LOOSES

Sorry Mitch. Sorry that I didn't bet you a bottle of Tequila on this match up. Sorry I took away your precious High Point money. Sorry your kicker only can put up 6 points. Sorry you dropped Achane and that he also got hurt and that Mostert is now starting and that he put up 36 points. Sorry that you seem to be having an amazing season but yet you are tied with me at 4-2. Sorry that you lost...actually sorry, not sorry. Fun week Mitch. Sorry.

TREE HUGGERS vs TRADE WITH ME

OMG...he's 6-0. Scott Krippayne is 6-0. With a modest week of 96 points and without getting a full game out of his precious CMC - Scott Krippayne was matched up against Brett Rutledge who with Ekeler still to play is down 42 points going into monday night - so yes, I am callling it. Brett who was riding high on his 1 game winning streak just could not get it together with disappointing performances from everyone except the Lions Defense. Scott, who didn't have a great week saw amazing numbers from Thiielen, a TD from CMC before he went out and a good outing from Dalton Schultz. Nice win Scott...will you ever lose? Next up for Scott...Cliff Young.

BOOMER SOONER vs LANAKILA

The thing with Cliff is - if you give him a little taste of winning - he wants it all the time. He is now on a 4 game winning streak, and like Krippayne, this wasn't a high scoring week for Cliff either...but he put up enough to beat Stu Jones. Stu's best player - Stefon Diggs only put up 15 points...and he needed 6.05 more to win the match up. So basically had Diggs scored a TD things would have been different. In fact, Stu would have won, I would have won a bet or two, and some needed money...and Cliff would be a loser. Thanks Stu and Stefon. Nice win Cliff - keep it up and we may have a back to back champion on our hands (hope i didn't just jinx ya).

BACKDOOR BANDITS vs HOWARD

Yes, this GIF is because Rob Howard plays the banjo. Most weekends that's what I hear from my house...banjo music from his porch. Sometimes he has an entire polka band out there. It's a really special place to live. This week Rob beat Kyle. Rob put up 124 points so he almost won high point but I had a little bit better of a week so i snag the dough. Rather than talking about what Rob did right let's spend a moment focusing on what Kyle did wrong. He just doesn't have a very good team this year. And those players that you would think would be great like Metcalf, Lamar and Etienne...well, when only one of them put up significant points - you don't win much. So Ron moves on to 4-2 and Kyle to 1-5. Nice win Rob. I am ready for Octoberfests to be over so you are not on the road and the neighborhood can hear you play again.

MR. AWESOME vs TuPADRE

Usually one of my favorite match ups of the year. Gully vs Gabe. Best Friends going at it. At this week Gabe took the stick to Gully and knocked him out early. Gully had a good week from Tua with 28 points, Derek Henry in London managed to give him 17, and Ravens Defense in London gave him 15 but Gabe just had the magic of Tyreek (27), Hall (15), Pitts (10), Waddle (11), Kicker Carlson (13) and Eagles D (10)....and who know what tonight holds with Dak...he may put up 37 and steal my $20 from me. Nice win Gabe. I am sure your friendship will carry on but you should feel better than Andy and Son.

LONG LEFT BALLERS vs FUNK GUY

Why do I feel like we are in the same place every week with Funk Guy. More times than not - it comes down to Monday night...there's a bit of hope but then it ends badly. Tonight we go in with Dana leading 80 to Bebo's 76. Dana with Cowboys defense still to play and Bebo with Keenan Allen and CeeDee Lamb. Dallas defense is always good...they are always putting pressure and getting sacks but tonight the Charges did find a way to score. In fact, the first score of the night was a Keenan Allen TD. So, when the game ended...Bebo won...Dana lost. Bebo moves to 5-1 and Dana to 1-5. Heartbreaking week for Dana - first with his Giants and now with himself.

SURVIVOR

The Final Four Continue. It was a close call for Gully but everyone moves on.

CHEERLEADER OF THE WEEK

Brianna was born in Stuart, FL and now lives in Fort Lauderdale. She was rated by Women Fitness as the most beautiful cheerleader...and as far as I am concerned who would know if that is true, more than other women. I am trusting it. Brianna for the win.

[inkdemonapologist]

Jack had a long day after session 10.... Sammy’s gonna let him sleep.

[batim call of cthulhu masterpost]

(and a bunch of out of context quotes under the cut!)

[Sammy is played by me, Joey is played by Boo (inkyvendingmachine), Henry is played by Maf (inkcryptid), Jack is played by Mochi (whatyouwantedmetosee) and Thren (haunted-hijinxer) is our GM!]

[Sammy] Despite last session being PRIMARILY planning, we do not actually have a plan!!!

[Joey] How quickly... can Joey Drew learn... a time control spell... so that we can try ONE of our plans, and if it doesn't work, we can just go back in time and-- [Sammy] Joey, don't-- don't start that, Joey. That's not going to end well. [Joey] IT WORKED BEFORE! [Sammy] YEAH, I KNOW, but I think it's a bad plan! You're gonna have, freakin, "This cartoon didn't do as well I wanted, let's back up! Let's back up, and see if we can make some small changes! BENDY MUST BE PERFECT!" [Joey] This is how Sillyvision actually comes about! [GM] Are you saying... are you saying you aren't comfortable with Joey Drew trying to loop time? [Sammy] YES! That is what I'm saying! I don't think that should happen, I think that will end poorly for those of us who have to participate in Time!

[Sammy] Sammy would not be against bringing it up, but if Jack's like "UH I don't even know if that's possible for me to do, I did it by accident" then he won't, like, push. [Joey] Joey's not going to push, but he's going to be very supportive that you can do anything you set your mind to!

[Jack] Sammy has guns! Just not those ones. [Sammy] Correct. Yes.

[Joey] Prophet did not seem affected by it, at all. [Sammy] *sarcastic laugh* Alright. Fantastic! [Joey] So, I guess I'm letting you know this, not just if you accidentally come across some paint, but if you find yourself having trouble dealing with things, you might be able to use that-- [Sammy] Sammy is GLARING. [Jack] Jack is also giving Joey a look at this! "If you're having trouble, just try drugging yourself!" That sure is, a coping mechanism!

[GM, speaking for Bendy] He does think the Prophet can be a little overzealous, but he's definitely good at getting stuff done! Maybe not the best stuff, but... stuff! [Sammy] Are you sure? He's been trying to sacrifice somebody to the Masked Messenger for like, a year, and it hasn't been working!

[Joey] He could've started trying to fall asleep on the drive over! [Jack] Yeah but then he's going to end up astral projecting on the road! Halfway there! Just watching his body drive away!

[Jack] He's technically gotten the information he was looking for, which is: there are still people in the building, not very many,... He also gained the information: more than Moonlight can see people who are astral projecting,... he gained: Pain, [Jack] All in all I think this was a successful trip!

[Sammy] I'm just so pleased that Sammy is foiling Moonlight all over the place, and generally being very obnoxiously in the way, and Sammy can't even come out that much. [Sammy] Like, he's only existed in his Prophet Form like three or four times! If he could be here as much as Moonlight is here, he would-- tHE MASKED MESSENGER WOULD BE HERE ALREADY. [GM] *laughs* The only thing holding him back. [Sammy] Yes. The only thing holding him back: sometimes he turns into a much more reasonable person.

[Sammy] (Sorry for being so enthusiastic about this, but I'm really enthusiastic about this.)

[Joey] Now that he has a description of the kinds of runes, does Joey know any way to disrupt it? [Henry] I know of a way to disrupt it. [Jack] Last time Henry tried to disrupt something he actually strengthened it, so, [Henry] Okay but this--! But-- okay, yeah, point taken.

[Henry] Basically what happened is, I smeared my blood on one of the symbols-- [Sammy] WHY

[Sammy] You could write "found this," or, if you have room-- [Joey] "We know how to get your family" [Sammy] Y-, mm, that sounds, a little bit ransom-note-y,

[Jack] "Place $1000 1 Slick Stone in an unmarked package under the third tree if you want to see your family again" [Sammy] I think you mean 75 dollars

[GM] Norman is picking through the room; he does find a freaky bone whistle thing, and a weird cold crystal, and some chalk, and a blooodyyyy knife??? Question mark??? [Joey] Well, might as well grab that, [Henry] Yeah, Henry wants that back! [GM] --and a jar with yellow paint in it-- [Joey] ...you can leave the jar with yellow paint in it. [Jack] But the Prophet wants that back!

[GM] He does pretty quickly go "Hey, I know this model!" and some tinkering noises ensue. [Joey] Okay, yeah, take that too! [GM] "I... I can't carry this," he says, "not without a handcart." [Joey] I mean, if he---.... wait, what. [Sammy] (Projector.) [Joey] OH I thought he found the gun. I forgot there was a projector in there. [Joey] Norman, focus!

[Sammy] If Joey would take it, go for it. [Joey] Joey is more interested in Moonlight's stuff than Fowler's stuff. He's trying to get Fowler on their side. [Jack] As a counterpoint, I, personally, as a player, am very curious!

[Henry] Moonlight and Sammy play duelling banjos at each other. [Sammy] That hasn't been written yet, they can't! [Henry] Moonlight and Sammy accidentally invent duelling banjos.

[Joey] Okay, Joey's going to continue to hide in the closet. [Henry] Didn't we say we were going to flicker the lights when we got up to this room? [Joey] Oh yeah. Joey said he was going to do that but he's... not going in there. [Henry] He's not out of the closet yet.

[GM] Norman got a very good mechanical roll and gets the set-up going quite promptly! [Joey] We should hire this guy!

[GM] No, it doesn't look like it helps Jack. [Sammy] No healing for Jack :( [Joey] No healing in Wonderland. (several players start yelling) [Sammy] And now we've discovered everyone in this group who has listened to The Adventure Zone!

[GM] Norman probably makes a joke about "Oh, so you do sleep!" [Joey] When we can. [Sammy] Not often. [Jack] *laughs* Animation, amiright? [Jack] Anyway, so do you wanna work for us?

[Jack] Jack's just getting all of the insanities. [Joey] I want some too! Stop hogging them!!!

[Sammy] So has this just all... come to you? [Henry] Some of it! [Sammy] *narrows eyes* [Henry] Some of it I know what I'm doing! I can use my blood in runes and stuff, but other stuff like blasting the angel, that just... happened. [Sammy] You're as bad as Joey. [Henry] (He looks a bit sheepish at that.) Honestly? I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want to get told off. [Sammy] Not sure I have the energy tonight. Let’s rain check on that.

[Sammy] *suspicious* Are you alright in there? [Bendy] Joey did somethin' dumb, but I think we're okay! [Joey] You didn't need to tell him that. [Bendy] Well, we are okay, right? Henry was doin' this yesterday and he's okay! [Sammy] ...what [Henry] What? [Joey] DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT! [Bendy] It's okay when it's just a little, right? [Sammy] WHAT ARE YOU DOING? [Joey] I found a cool rock... [Sammy] BENDY, WHAT IS HE DOING [Bendy] Washin' blood off his face! [Sammy] Hm. [Joey] (There's just the thunk of Joey letting his head hit the sink). [Sammy] Sammy has decided not to ask any more questions.

[Sammy] I love the idea that Prophet's like SO LASER-FOCUSED on his hatred of Doc Moonlight, that that's all that Sammy can remember. They're summoning an elder god's avatar in the background and all Sammy can remember is BOY, I HATE THAT GUY!

[Sammy] I think he's going to focus on trying to remember as much as he can, because Joey's gonna give him the Joey version, [GM] You can make another POW roll if he's trying to remember. [Sammy] Oh.... *starting to roll dice* I don't know if you should do this, Sammy... [Sammy] .....96. No. [Jack] He fumbled, [Joey] He fumbles and forgets more??? [GM] No, no, you remember the things you don't want t-- OKAY NOW YOU REMEMBER THE RITUAL!!! [Sammy] OH!! GREAT!!!

[Henry] *coming back online after the session is done* I have something important to share! I got home and got on as quickly as possible to share! [Sammy] Uh huh? [Henry] I realised that Norman should ABSOLUTELY be having out of body experiences too. Because I mean. HE IS THE PROJECTIONIST! [Joey and Jack] *start laUGHING HYSTERICALLY* [Sammy] Oh My Gosh

[Jack] I can't believe that Jack's next Astral Projection Dream is going on a date with Norman. Add to the boyfriend collection! [Sammy] When do I get to astral projection dream date Jack??? [Jack] You were busy astral projection dream dating Joey! [Sammy] Yeah, he looked nothing like his profile picture.

#InformalNewYear’sEveParty

- testing the equipment (voice: ✓, music: ✓, and the most important: laugh track: ✓)

Comment: What’s the meaning of this, in the middle of the night? LYN: !! Can you be a little more gentle? What’s with the tone??

Comment: Is this a new streaming room? LYN: I’m in Beijing right now. No, my new one is in Hengdian; it’s my second home. LYN: Some friends are telling me they’re also in Beijing. Why are you telling me this? Do you want me to treat you to a meal or something? I don’t want to know, you don’t need to tell me. Thanks.

Comment: Are we streaming all night? LYN: You think I’m afraid of you? Today’s stream is set to end at 4 in the morning. :)

- goes to change his cap because he doesn’t like the color combo. XD

Comment: Have you started dubbing for ALZ yet? LYN: ?? How could it be that time already? They’re still editing- I was planning to go take a look but had no time. Maybe I'll see if I can go tomorrow or the day after. 

Comment: What have you been busy with lately? LYN: Not much, just small things here and there that I need to take care of... There was this big thing a couple days ago though. I know a lot of people saw me back in Dandong; I just went there to take care of some business, and you happened to see me. Comment: Driver’s License test. LYN: What ridiculous nonsense. Am I a person without a driver’s license?? Ridiculous. But I’ve had my license for a while and then in 2018 I happened to become famous. Then, as a full-fledged artist, it’s not like I can drive myself everywhere- that’s too tiring- so I have people who drive me around. All of a sudden my license has already been expired for a year. LYN: Let me give you a test- how long is a driver’s license valid for? Comments: 6 years/5 years/I forgot/10 years (????)/ 5 years/ 5 years/etc. LYN: It’s six years. I didn’t even know my first one had expired. So, it’s been expired for 1+ year. Here’s the next question: How long after it expires will your license/application become invalid? Comments: 2 years/1 year/6 years/2 years/3 years. LYN: The answer is 3 years. If I was any later, my application would have expired and I would have to retake the tests. I don’t really have the time to re-learn and take the tests, so I rushed back to Dandong to retake the written test and renew my license. The first time I did it, there weren’t so many questions! So I downloaded an app with sample questions and have been studying. If you ask me what I’ve been doing lately- studying/memorizing to pass the DL written test. LYN: The first time I tried I got a 75 and thought I was done for. But I’ve been studying the materials in the car and during breaks. I studied it for 6 hours straight! I’ve never even seriously looked at a script for that long! But I went back to Dandong to take the test. Comment: What was your score? LYN: 96 ;). So starting from yesterday I am once again a person with a driver’s license. :) Comment: So did you change your license picture? LYN: Yes, I had to change it to something more handsome. I didn’t know anything back then and didn’t even wash my hair to take the picture. I had to take a better picture this time around. LYN: It’s in my bag.. what do you need to see it for? I feel like I’m being stopped on the road. /imitates traffic control/ “Show me your license and registration.”

- might have a new drama with Tao; still in discussions LYN: Acting with someone you're familiar with, and with a familiar crew really makes you relax more and give a more convincing act. Think about if two unfamiliar people are playing best friends on screen? People do it, but it’s better if the actors are familiar with each other. I may look cold, but I always get to know my co-stars before and during drama filming. Of course, after the drama wraps we don’t keep up the constant contact. It’s all normal.

- someone asked what the bgm was and he gets happy/proud saying it’s Modern Brothers’ Liu Yuning’s track called “Magical Surprise,” sung for Disney’s 5th Anniversary :) LYN: When you go play at Disney, the music coming from the floats is my song! :D I can brag about this for five years!! Every night before I go to sleep I can share this track to my friends circle and caption it “Sounds so great! :)” I’ll let all my friends know that I sung this song. I’ll share it every night. LYN: The reason I can brag for five years is because in another five it’ll be the 10th anniversary. I asked the jiejie whether there was a chance they could bring me back to sing for that one too and she said, “Uh.... We’ll see.”

- talking about his stream with Tao & what games he knows how to play - knows how to ski, but not snowboard. knows how to ice skate, a little.; a little bit of everything but good at nothing.; uses some.. dated terms and outs himself as an old. - talks about how he is starting to realize more and more that his fans are very young. (born after ‘00s); LYN: Call me uncle.

- talking about his new song “念” for the movie “Schemes in Antiques” starring Li Xian. LYN: This movie came out, and people did not know I had sung anything for it- because it hadn’t been announced yet. But the ending came around and they found out it was me. A lot of people went to watch. I’m not saying that my singing the OST had any significant impact on ticket sales, but I’m glad they went to watch it. LYN: During the recording process I almost went crazy. It was my first time trying out this type of song so when I was trying it, it was quite stressful. But they seemed satisfied with the result- and this is a customer service industry, so I was happy that they liked how it came out. Comment: What about your next drama? LYN: I’ll be in the crew soon. I’ll be in Hengdian in another two or three days. The next role is called... I can’t tell you, but it has a character from A-Zhuo’s name. His last name. Zhuo. Comment: Is it a guzhuang? LYN: /cutely/ Aiya- you’ll know if a few days~ /threateningly/ Stop asking! The drama has it’s own reveal schedule so i can’t just tell-all by myself. LYN: You’re all starting to guess but there’s no point because it’s an original work, it’s not based off any novel. Bai Yicong-laoshi wrote it himself! :) It’s been a long time since he wrote anything, so he found some people he was more familiar with to help him play with it. Comment: Male lead? LYN: No, no, no. Maybe fourth or third lead? Comment: You’re crying? LYN: That’s unwarranted. I know one thing very clearly- it doesn’t matter what number you are. I think the most important is the script. Comment: Money isn’t important? LYN: It’s not that much. Stop always asking about money. Money comes last.

LYN: Some people I’ve worked with- for example an OST came for me. They say, “Yuning, how much are you asking for an OST these days?” They come asking about the price first. I need to know what song, for what project! I need to listen to it before I accept any offer or discuss the price. Do you think you’re at a market??

LYN: Rest assured. Don’t worry- no matter what I do or what job I accept I always think it through. Trust me. Later on, you’ll realize why I do things the way I do. Don’t always look at the appearance of things, think about the effects it will have later, too.  LYN: Some people wonder why I stay and stream on weibo, because I could be making much more on another site. I thought about it- and it’s true. You’ve really thought this out for me. But I won’t, because I have my own thoughts and plans. So I’m staying on weibo. I’m here for my fans and the people who maybe have some interest in me. I’m here for those people who have nothing to do at night, are scrolling weibo, and they happen to want to watch a monkey (show). I’m here for those people. Here to chat. I’m not here to make business- although I did promote that movie a little earlier... But I won’t take my time to focus on it in particular. I’m very happy here. There’s no pressure and it’s just an outlet for me- to talk to my fans. I’m satisfied with what I have. 

- thinks an industry friend came in. finds out they came and left. LYN: See? Even my friends don’t want to watch my stream. People I’ve worked with come in for a second, are reminded they're annoyed by my face, and leave. But my fans and the people watching now are loyal to me- so who SHOULD I be nice to? You think about it. LYN: I always say I’m close with HZT, but you never see HIM coming to watch my stream. Right? So some things are only to keep up appearances LOL. But you here, I may not know your name, but you always silently support me. You are my real friends.

LYN: I saw something going around that said ““Why is HZT appearing close with LYN these days?” Because he’s facing a slump/dip in popularity. Wants to work with LYN and regain his own popularity. Wants to sign LYN to his company.” etc. I don’t know if you saw it, but I want to kick whoever wrote it. HZT’s never been so popular- these days he’s living his best life. Actually, he’s done a lot of things, but people just don’t know about them. LYN: As for the wanting to sign me... that’s true. We were joking. I asked if I should sign with his label, and he can take care of me. He said, “Sure. I don’t care about your revenue. Just sign with me and be one of my artists.” I told him he HAD to take at least 50% of my profits for me to sign. He wouldn’t, so I told him I wouldn’t either. XD LYN: Don’t take this seriously, people. Just let it flow in one ear and out the other. Please don’t take what I say at face value.

LYN: I always say I’m going to raffle something during my stream, but I never really have. Maybe next time if I have “daily trash”- some daily-use things that I don’t want- er, use. I'll raffle them. They’re just taking up space in my house anyway. /looking around for something to raffle/ ... Oh, this is the script. LYN: I have a lot of clothes at home, maybe I can see if I’ll give those away. It’s a little much. I see a lot of people say that I wore a piece of clothing quite a few times, and they always see the same article. It’s because I bought it myself. Those are my own clothes and I try to pair it differently each time to make the most out of it. Don’t be so picky. A lot of my clothes I buy for myself. I’m not at the point where brands will just give me clothes to wear yet. When I see you picking on my clothes I feel sad... /puts on sad music and starts to pour out his woes./ It seems like my fans look down on me... :’( 

- talks about the rotating variety show line-up; if he reveals what show he’s on, other people in the industry will see if THEIR artist can also be on the show, and ultimately ends up with LYN being pushed OFF of it. So he doesn’t like to say what he’s on until it’s airing. ;; He;s been squeezed off of a show by one person once, and in the most despicable way. He really wants to reveal that person’s name, but hasn’t let slip it yet. - Next year, if all goes well, will be a year full of Ning-ge. Heroes & ALZ & Zi Chuan; some variety shows in there, maybe Fresh Chef S3 if they come to find him again...

Comment: What should I buy on 12/12? LYN: /pushing his brand collabs/ You know, it’s cold so you’ll need some hot packs. Also, your hair is more easily dry in the winter so you’ll need some hair products... Protect yourselves, you know. So simple. Get it if you need it.  LYN: I’ll always buy heat packs, and I can give them out to the drama crew too. It’s not just a hot pack, you’re also sending them warmth. (physical heat and emotional warmth)

- bathroom break :: my neighbors are fighting LYN: Actually, I rarely live in Beijing, you all know. I’m in Beijing altogether one or two months a year. When I’m at home- I sleep fairly late, not only do I keep you up, I keep myself up- sometimes I stay up all night. It’s normal to walk around your house, right? But sometimes it’s not convenient when you’re living in a complex because you might give your downstairs neighbor some difficulties. As long as I’m at home- if I make a sound that’s slightly on this sound of loud the downstairs neighbor will call the admin office and complain about me. The office then calls me about it. I can’t even go to the bathroom??? But one day- I went to film. The office called me again. They said that the downstairs neighbor was complaining that someone was walking around loudly, for four or five days now. I told them that they HAD to tell my neighbor that I was in Hengdian, filming. There’s no one in my house. True story.

LYN: It’s night already, don’t disturb others, so wear the earphones and listen. Comment: I’ll put it on speaker. LYN: How obnoxious! In the middle of the night! Comment: I don’t have earphones. LYN: Who are you telling? Why are you telling me you don’t have any? Go buy one or go find one. Did you want me to send you one or what?? I get scared when you tell me you don’t have something- I feel like you want me to give it to you. I can’t do it.

Comment: Magnets. LYN: Yes! They’re of me. They (fans) gave it to me.

Comment: Ning-ge, I’m taking [name of test] next week. Wish me good luck. LYN: You have a test to take but you’re here watching my stream. Do you think you can pass? Turn off my stream immediately and go study. Ok? /in English/ Do you understand? LYN: Of course, and good luck. Just study. You’ll be fine. But if you aren’t fine.. that’s also your own problem. LOLOL

- not going to sing Rang Jiu bc he’ll be singing it on a program soon Comment: Today’s the 1 year anniversary of Ultimate Note. LYN: Really?? I don’t really know the dates. Wow. Then I’ll sing the song from there. - /starts singing/ /stops/ LYN: Someone wants me to wear shades. Ok, I’ll go look for them. I had thought people already forgot I played Hei Yanjing. Wait for me. LYN: Most of my glasses are in Hengdian. How's this? /laughs/ I feel like I’m at the airport. Let’s try this other one... This one’s better, yeah?

LYN: I streamed with Tao the other day, which counts as a homage to Hot Blooded Youth. It’s the anniversary of UN, so I sang Ming Ming You Sheng. You have to remind me when CGX’s anniversary is, so I can sing then, too. Maybe I can go borrow Hao Du’s costume and let you relive some memories.

- drinks water and finds out his “face slimming” filter went away when he lifted the bottle. Tries it out two more times. XD LYN: I’m not drinking this anymore. Get rid of it! It’s hurting my marketability.

- happy new year :) (it’s 12am) LYN: It’s the same old thing, my friends. If you’re sleepy, go ahead and sleep. If you’re not sleepy, then let’s go ahead and stay up until the sun rises. Do you dare? I think I can do it today. You always say that I’m not brave enough to get breakfast with you. If you think so, let’s stream until 6! Then I will take my phone and bring you to eat breakfast with me. Comment: I don’t dare. LYN: See? Backing out? :) LYN: Not to talk about anyone else, but I can really do it. Comment: Come on, then. Who’s scared of who. LYN: Why do we need to? I also have important things to do... 

LYN: There’s a scriptwriter jiejie, who’s very nice to me. When I still hadn’t debuted, I was already on her radar. She’s an old fan. I went to eat with a director the other day and he told me, “The scriptwriter I’ve worked with for so many years suggested you to me when you first debuted, but I was not much aware of you back then. Now when I film anything later I’ll think of using you.” She’s a really good friend. Actually, a lot of my work comes from my fans. If you ask who’s got my back? I’ll say it’s my fans. LYN: Ever since she knew of me, she’s written the male lead role in my image. 189cm in height, 136kg in weight- not a figure can be off. Every lead role she writes, the ML is from Dongbei. [t/n: LOLOLOL] Then, when she gives it to the investors and director to review, she’ll tell them the ML was made in my image. They say, “And so what?” Of course, she’ll ask, “Can you use LYN?” and they reply, “If you continue, I’ll have you fired. If you want to continue working in this field, you’ll quit your nonsense.” Then in order to keep making a living she stopped bringing it up. LYN: I’m joking, joking.

Comment: Don’t lower your head. When you do, the face-slimming goes away. LYN: !!! So cruel. - talking into the void to the weibo staff who monitor his streams and ask him for suggestions on how they could make their streaming service better. tells them to upgrade and stabilize the mobile-streaming (beauty) filters.

LYN: How about we go deeper today and you can share about your feelings? If you have any troubles in life or something to say to me, you can type it in. I’ll choose one at random and we can have a heart-to-heart. Comment: It doesn’t suit you. LYN: I’m not suited for emotions? Quit your nonsense. I’m not a comedian, I can go into feelings too! If you say that people with love-line scripts will stop coming to find me. /throws a bottle cap at the screen/

Comment: When are you cutting your hair? LYN: Why is it always this question... when I have time! I just got out of a drama group and I’ve been relaxing- and I have gotten a little fatter. My face is bigger and I fear if I cut my hair it’ll look even bigger. I want to use it to cover my face a little. It’s just that I’ve been too busy, but I’ll cut it when I get back. There’s no rush.

Comment: Talk about eating ramen. LYN: Everyone knows when I go back to Dandong there are a few things I have to eat; one of them is ramen and another is the lamb soup.

Comment: What’s in the fridge? LYN: All drinks. Mostly water, because I don’t really cook at  home.

- someone asks him if he’s into investing in a business??? (i think??) but LYN doesn’t want to participate in something if he himself is not involved, and he just didn’t feel like participating in the first place. LYN: One time I had a dream, and in that dream and immortal/god came to me. The god said to me, “LYN- you are a person who relies on memory to live.” I asked him, “What does that mean, shifu?” The god replied, “”Memory” means to rely on your hands and your memorization.” The god straight up told me that doing business wasn’t my thing, because I wouldn’t be able to make heads or tails of it, so don’t do it. I remembered that dream. I sing- I’m a singer, and an actor. Am I not busy enough?  LYN: One time I dreamt of the lottery- three numbers. I usually don’t buy lottery tickets but that day I bought one with those three numbers. And then! I didn’t win. :| So you can’t believe everything you see/hear in a dream.

Comment: What are you doing for your birthday? LYN: Oh yeah, my birthday. No use celebrating- and also, don’t send me presents or anything! In the future maybe it’ll be okay, but this year, let’s not. Let’s be lowkey this year. Enjoy it, spend it if I can, but if I can’t that’s ok too. LYN: If I have time I might stream a little, but I think I have a variety show to record around that time. Comment: You'll be another year older. LYN: Whatever. Have you ever heard the expression “for ginger, older is better”? I have no time to waste anymore, so I’ve got to make the best use of my time, and leave a few productions behind. [..] Something that makes me happy- I always say that my fans are on the older side, but recently there have been younger ones and that’s nice. My fans used to be around my age and just a little older or younger. Recently there have been younger fans because of my dramas- it’s great because you’re all bringing our average age down. It makes me seem younger too. Comment: I’m 41. LYN: It’s fine! I think age- in this time and age is not as it used to be. Maybe because people are eating better? Everyone is still so young, as long as your mentality is good. We don’t look at age that closely anymore, and plus science has come so far! So don’t worry. It’s all good. LYN: These three years was just the start. For the next five years, I’m going to give it my all and see how far I can get. If I can make it, I’ll continue the forward momentum. If I can’t... I’ll continue to work hard.

Comment: Give your car away. LYN: I thought of something when I went back to Dandong- as you know I have a car there. I bought it second-hand when I didn’t have a lot of money. A white Mustang. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. It’s from 2015... it’s going to be 2022... almost a 6 year old car. I thought maybe I can drive it to Hengdian, and make use of it for a drama. If it’s sits there any longer it’ll disintegrate. A rat already built its nest in there- I’ve cleaned it out though. LYN: I’ll drive it to Hengdian and leave it there. You can take pictures with it. $10 per person. You’ve always dreamt of being my passenger. I’ll fulfill your wish. Comment: Wasn’t it $5? LYN: The price went up. [..] Hengdian’s a tourist destination. What’s wrong with me raising it $5?? I’ll leave my QR code there and you can (pay by) swipe and be done with it. LYN: A picture is $10, but if you want to take it for a lap, ten minutes will be $150. You can say you drove Ning-ge’s car and take a video. - you can take the $5 concert coupon he gave before and use it for this XD - if you break/crash it, you have to pay for it. Comment: I have no driver’s license. LYN: In that case, you get in the passenger side and my assistant will drive you around. He can tape my poster to his face- cut out eyes and a mouth hole, so it’ll seem like I'm driving you. Comment: How much does it cost for you (personally) to take me around? LYN: This is also like trying to buy something at the market. You ask for the cost first before looking a the product. I have to see who wants me to drive and why- I have to assess their person/character first.

Comment: Any plans for travel? LYN: I want to, but I’m so busy. Also- a lot of my old fans know this but, I’m afraid of dying. (what with the pandemic and all) But actually, with my work I’ve pretty much been to all of the big cities. Most people normally go travel to see big mountains and rivers but I like going to smaller cities. Because Dandong itself is already a tourist destination- I’ve seen everything there is to see there already. - talks about how he goes to check out cars at the Ferrari dealership to de-stress; he’s been considering buying one for forever, but never does

LYN: It’s alright. If you’re sleepy you can go. My stream doesn’t have much meaning anyway. For me, and I’m sure other people as well- sometimes you just can’t sleep at night. You start to contemplate the meaning of life. Why am I alive? Why do I work so hard everyday? I don’t know if you think that way, but I do. Then, at around 1am... you get hungry.

LYN: One day, when I am able, I should walk into a dealership and prove myself. Honestly, I’ve been around for a while now, and my recognition is a little better than it used to be. When I first debuted three years ago no one recognized me, but I’ve spent these recent years gaining recognition and- it’s better now. I was in Shanghai, and I usually dress pretty lowkey- but a car full of people got out behind me, walked no longer than 2 seconds before they recognized me and started calling my name. When I used to walk on the street maybe people would notice me because I’m tall and skinny but now they can recognize me. I walk into the dealership now and they’re so welcoming. They say, “Hey! This car here used to be owned by [Name of Celebrity]. They’ve had it for two years but don’t want it anymore, do you want to get in and check it out?” LYN: One day I’ll walk in and buy a car, to prove to those dealers that I’m not just in there to look all the time. How about this- when I land a male lead role, I’ll give myself a present. What will the present be? We’ll see.

LYN: I can show you my Lego, do you want to see? ... Forget it. Maybe later. LYN: Ok, I’ll bring a small one. [t/n: holy shit]

LYN: You caught me. I said I would bring a small one, and I showed you that. Comment: Bring your phone over there (to show us) LYN: No. I’ll show you when I have the chance, because I really do quite like Lego. I recently got a bunch more. When I was small I had this fantasy- that there would be a world inside our cabinet. There would be a whole world in there, with tiny little people (living). When I went to school they would thrive and when I came back home, they would hide. That’s what I always thought. So whenever I put Lego together, I think I’m making them a little world.

LYN: I think someone did a Lego stream a few days ago? I won’t do what someone else already did. I can always think of something else- something no one else dares to do. Comment: Take apart Lego on stream. LYN: It’s not not doable. Let’s make this exciting- I’ll take a complete sculpture and just throw it to the ground. How about that? Someone no one else dares to do.

Comment: You’re not sleepy? LYN: I’m ok. I’m the type of person who will become sleepy and then fall asleep straight away. LYN: I can show you a stream of me sleeping on my chair.

- looking for a song to sing, ends up singing “First Love” solo ver. LYN: I’ve been really happy to work with Penny-jie for Our Song this season. It could be that every senior I’ve met on this show and on variety shows are all good people- but that’s hard to say. It was great to work with her, very comfortable. She’s writing a song for me right now, too. So we’ll work together more in the future. Just because the show is over doesn’t mean that our relationship is over as well. LYN: Yes! She’s written a song for me. I’m wondering if I should include it on my album or release it as a single. She’s a wonderful person. Comment: Do you still keep in contact with Richie Ren? LYN: Of course! I talked to him maybe three or four days ago? He’s been busy with drama filming- all fight scenes recently and he’s been working hard. Qi-ge is really one of my role-models. He’s professional and whether it’s with work or as a person he’s a really good person.

Comment: I can’t stay awake anymore.... LYN: Let me see.. it’s 1 in the morning right now. Can you stay up until 3? LYN: You can stay up? Don’t pretend to be strong. 

LYN: Wait for me. I’ll go to the restroom and come back to fight with you until dawn. Maybe bring back another Lego to show you too. [A Haunted House]

- /shows us how it works XD - the elevator is manual- goes all the way up the tower, the doors open and the whole car drops to the bottom of the shaft.  LYN: /the elevator car fell over at the bottom/ This might hurt the amusement park’s business though... [..] Let me go put it away before I break it.

LYN: I made these during the lock-down. I almost went crazy. LYN: Don’t gift me with any! I can afford to buy it myself and... if I were more thick-skinned I’m sure if I contacted Lego and told them I wanted one.. I’m sure they’d be able to give one to me.  Comment: Lego will say, “Who are you?” LYN: I’ll grab Siri and let them know! It’s fine, I’ll have a chat. Comment: If Lego knew, they’d stop releasing products. LYN: Are you trying to say that If I ask them directly for a Lego set, they’re gonna pretend that the set I asked for doesn’t exist? /pretending to be Lego/ “How can I face such a situation, that even a celebrity wants a meager Lego set from us.” // The shop will shut down and say they have nothing more in stock; just to prevent me from getting anything. XD LYN: It’s not worth it. I wouldn’t even ask them like that! I can’t even make a joke? I’ll buy it myself if I want it! I don’t even ask for freebies from the brands I’ve collaborated with- I will always buy the product myself. Of course, they will give it to me anyway. So I give it to friends. - /talks about how if he sees someone he’s working with has a brand collab, he’ll just casually mention it to them, ask them how the product is- and then, of course, that person will graciously offer to give him whatever that product is. He will decline, say that he will buy it himself, to support that artist. In the end... he will get sent the product. XD/ LYN: Don’t laugh at me and say it’s just a ploy to get free stuff. As soon I received the gift I turned around and bought something to give back to them. I’m not that kind of person, ok?

Comment: When’s your cooking stream? LYN: Don’t worry- I have to finish getting it all set up in Hengdian, then I might do a cooking stream. I’ll start from the afternoon: I’ll go to get groceries, come back home to cook it, then invite anyone who’s around to my house for dinner. Chaoyue will be in Hengdian, maybe she will come. - talks about the “rich second-gen” Zeng Shunxi again, and fans tell him to stop with this joke. :p - saw someone badmouthing Chaoyue and sent the video to their chat, asking her, “Do you want me to take care of them for you?? I’ll do a stream and set them straight!”

LYN: When you’re watching a drama or variety show, can you have a little more integrity/stand your ground? For example- your username might be.. “Little Shadow” but then later on, I’ll see that it’s changed to “Little Shadow + [Name of Celeb, not LYN].” Other fans are too nice. Our fanclub is pretty hard to get into, and pretty small- open only to those who like me only. I’m not in it myself because I like other artists too. But then people will come to the moderator and ask them if they can leave the group, because they’ve started liking another celebrity. We’re cool about it, though. As long as you are happy. Just remember to check LYN out once in a while. LYN: If you are able, please don’t “climb the wall.” Because the scenery out there might not be as good as it is in here. What do you think? :)

Comment: Ning-ge, I flipped the wall in. LYN: You came from someone else’s fan-club and into mine? See? My front door is always open, waiting for you. Once you’re in, don’t even think about leaving. Because you’ll fall in love with this place. LYN: Other people’s clubs are called “circles”; mine is a “pit” because you can’t run even if you wanted to. - this rule apparently doesn’t apply to fans of friends. If you’re a fan of one of LYN’s friend and have come to check him out, it doesn’t count as “flipping the wall”, you’ve come for a visit.  LYN: I have a lot of old fans, but it doesn’t mean that they don’t watch other people’s dramas. It’s like they take the bus- but the bus now has a picture of a different celebrity on it- it’s not like they’ll choose not to take the bus, and walk to work instead. To show their loyalty to their idol. It’s normal (to like more than one idol/celeb).

- talks about how he went into the store to buy some clothes, and the attendant told him that the clothes he was looking at was worn by X celeb for X event... and he didn’t buy it. Some people might see that as him looking down on that celebrity, but to LYN it’s simple. Why should he knowingly buy and wear something (to an event) when he knows someone else has already publicly worn it? It’s ok if he clashes unknowingly, but he wouldn’t do that to himself on purpose.

LYN: People are saying I’m fairly simple/light (in looks). I take this to mean I have small eyes. Because “people with big eyes are full of life”. [t/n: this is a saying: 浓眉大眼] (??) A lot of people wear makeup normally and look very pretty. But I don’t normally wear makeup, so I look “light”. This has it’s benefits, too. Because when I DO have makeup it gives me a different look. That’s why sometimes you’ll think that I look very different from normal. LYN: I think this is a strong point. My next drama role is something really different. Like, you’ll take one look and wonder who it is. [..] You’ll see when it’s out. LYN: I hope to leave a different impression with each role I do. Sometimes people will be looking at my stage performances, and in the comments you will be typing “This is the person who played Black Glasses (UN)/ Hao Du (CGX)/etc.” A lot of people don’t know this and are surprised that I’m the same person. I think it’s a good thing- because this means that they’re not seeing “me” in the role. I hope you can see me as me and my character as their own person, even if I am the one acting them. I hope the roles I’ve played can leave you with an impression of me. Comment: I can remember you based on your looks alone. LYN: /sigh/ I know how I’ve come this far (and it’s not my looks). If you say I’m ugly, I think that’s going too far. I don’t warrant the word “ugly” but if you call me “handsome” I’m not quite that either. I made it this far because of my height. Maybe taller people have more of a presence, because they’re taller than others. I know I look plain; I know what I look like. I look in the mirror every day. I wash my face, I brush my teeth.  LYN: I’ve thought this through very clearly. Sometimes I see fans of other people complimenting their idol, that they look very handsome. Honestly I wonder to myself how they have it in them to give that praise. (LOL) At the same time I turn this thought to myself, and wonder what my fans are thinking when they say /I’m/ handsome. It must be the same situation, and they’ve been temporarily confused. So, from today on we have another unspoken rule. Other than complimenting on my acting, you’re not allowed to say I’m handsome/good-looking. Talent is included. You can’t say I have talent. When you go out, you can say.. uh... “Our Ning-ge can go three days without washing his hair! Tell me what celebrity can do that! No one.” LYN: Because I’m afraid that one day you compliment me so much that someone finds me for their drama, because they’ve heard I’m very good-looking. Then, in the camera I come out just so-so. What are they going to do? Changing the actor will be awkward, moving forward will make the producers angry (because they have to see his face all the time XD). What excuse can they give to switch me out? “You're not suited for this role.” Then what were you doing earlier?? Do don’t compliment me, and make trouble later on. Comment: They can say you’re too expensive for them. LYN: Ey! This person has clearly worked in a company before. It’s an art form. “You’re TOO GOOD for us. We are unable to use you (bc we can’t afford it).” They praise you but simultaneously push you away. Is that it? But if they do that to me I’ll say, “No problem. I’ll act for you for free. I don’t want the money.” // “Oh, you are low on funds? Let me invest in the project a little to help you out. I’ll sell my car and house in Dandong, to make sure this project goes smoothly. Let’s work hard together.” XD I can’t say that just because you have no money, I walk out. What type of person does that make me?? Right?

LYN: Anyone who hasn’t subscribed to my weibo can do so now. I don’t know why, but today my stream hasn’t notified me of how many new fans I’ve gained. I’m unhappy. Because my stream would tell me every hour how many new fans I’ve gained but I haven’t got any today. I feel like all the hard work I’ve put into this stream has been wasted. S if you haven’t subscribed yet, you can do so. It’s not shameful to like me. Comment: Passersby are sleeping. LYN: Are they? If there are any people just passing by, type “3″ in the comments to let me know how many of you there are. Let me see... [..] Based on what I saw there are maybe two or three hundred passersby? They might not be my fan, but thank you being bored and watching me in the night. It’s nice to watch a “monkey” sometimes (referring to himself). Thank you! LYN: A lot of fans have the “iron-clad fan” label and are saying they’re new.

Comment: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You are handsome. LYN: The people who think I’m handsome can be described with the saying “王八看上绿豆 (the turtle loves mung beans)”** We’ve matched up. In your eyes I may be, but my request to my fans is that you not compliment my looks when you’re out and about. LYN: Some people have no common sense! There are some blogs that comment/do reaction videos on a male celebrity's looks. Some fans will go over there and comment, “Talk about LYN!” The blogger has gone so far without ever mentioning me, and you still want them to talk about me?! I think they must be going crazy over there. LYN: Don't leave those types of comments for me. My looks aren’t worth mentioning. Comment: They compliment you. LYN: They’re doing it out of good manners. Let me tell you- they can say anything they want. If they want to compliment you, they will. But if they don't want to, you can’t force it out of them. You know? Sometimes they’ll diss you but make it SOUND like a compliment. - there are people in the comments still mulling over the question of who is the “turtle” and who is the “mung bean” in his earlier example. LYN: We don’t need no make this about ”you” or “me”. We ALL are (both). - likens it to people with a slow reaction time, who laugh at jokes WAY after the time to laugh has passed.

Comment: What an old saying! LYN: I only have old ones. It’s that I haven’t had much schooling- I entered society a bit earlier than most. I can’t talk about anything based on literature with you- I know a lot of you have a  much higher education than me, and I envy you. But there’s no helping it...

LYN: I have a horror story- when I told it 11 out of 10 people were scared. Comment: Why 11? LYN: Because someone was walking by and they got scared too. So I won’t tell it. Wait until I’m 60 and I’ll tell you then. When I turn 60 the first thing I do will reveal the name of the celebrity I’m most annoyed at (the one who stole his spot on some show). I will reveal who rubs me the wrong way, and who I think is just so-so. Comment: You’re 60 and you still won’t let it go? How long can you hold a grudge?? LYN: Maybe by that time it won’t be a grudge but a happy memory. To reminisce that I was young once. Comment: We still have to see you bare your abs when you’re 60. LYN: That’s right. When I hold my concert when I’m 60, I’ll rip my shirt and show you. A group of old ladies in the audience, and an old man on stage.  Not only will I rip my shirt, I’ll wear shorts too. Comment: You have to expose so much? LYN: Why? By the time I’m 60- even if you’re in your 20s now, you’ll be at least in your 50s too right? There’s nothing you haven’t seen already by that age. Comment: How come the number of people suddenly went down? LYN: How can you tell?  LYN: /looking at the usernames/ There are some “anonymous” users watching me. How terrifying.

Comment: There are 24mil+ people watching. LYN: Do they owe me?? That means that 24mil+ people came and went, not that there’s currently that many. The internet wouldn’t be able to handle that. That just means they came in, took a look and left. They count too. Even if they watched for one or two minutes, they get counted in the total. Comment: That’s still impressive. LYN: Of course ;)

LYN: It’s about time. Let me play a slower song, because I don’t want you too excited before you sleep. Comment: I’m already awake again. LYN: It’s 2am??? Ok. Have you ever seen Beijing at 2am? Probably not right? Let me take my phone downstairs~ I have a driver’s license now, everyone~ I can drive now! I’ll take you around to see the sights. I’ve heard there are a lot of bars around- I haven’t been myself but, let me take you to go see. LYN: I’m joking! Can I really go outside?? Take my stream out at 2am??? Well, it’s not like I can’t. I seem like the type of person who WOULD do that...  Comment: Can you take us to see the sunrise in Beijing? LYN: Even I can’t stay up for that long. You really think I can swing 4-5am? I can’t. I have things to do.

LYN: Alright, that’s about enough. I thank everybody who spent time with me today. A lot of you were with me since I started at 10pm and now it’s 2am. I’m happy to have spent such a long time with you- I think this is the latest I’ve streamed for right? Hopefully next time we can go even later. Comment: I just got here. LYN: For you, I’ll stay one more minute. Comment: Next time start at 6am. LYN: Next time I’ll stream earlier! It’s just that I got back from Dandong yesterday and took a nap this afternoon so I was in high spirits tonight and thought I’d stream a little. As long as you’re happy. It might not have been as exciting as my regular streams but it was still ok, right?

LYN: Alright everybody, I wish you a refreshing, happy, and beautiful night. Thank you for spending the night with me. I hope you can come see me the next time I stream. I’ll see you there. Good night my friends!

World's Best Hacker

"Quick, quick, we should not let them hack into our system!" My so-called boss shouted. "Oh, shut up!" I shouted back.

I tapped the keys on the computer. Hello, I am the 'world's best hacker', that's what they are all saying and I am working for the government.

"Quick MC!" He shouted again. I stopped tapping on the keys. "What are you doing?! Do something, they can't hack our systems!" He shouted nervously as I crossed my arms against my chest.

"I can't concentrate on my work if you are shouting like this," I said. System alert the computer started to say with danger sound and countdown.

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything. Make it fast, there are only 42 seconds," he pleaded. I turned to the computer and tapped on the keys again and worked on it.

I finally defended the hack.  My So-called boss sighed "you scared me," he said. I rolled my eyes "My work time over, I am leaving," I said as I took a look at my watch only to see 5:32 p.m.

What you saw now is not real me. I went to my apartment only to change my clothes. I wore simple shorts with a white shirt tucked inside the shorts.

I went to an Ice cream shop carelessly playing on the road. I opened the door only to hear a chime on top of the door.

I made my way to the Ice cream, I searched for my favorite Icecream. I saw only one in that flavor, I smiled at the Icecream as I took that.

"Can you give that to me?" I heard a voice. I turned to look at the person, he had brown hair, a white shirt, and jean. I frowned "No," I said.

"You can get another," he said. "No, It is mine," I said as I pulled the Icecream close to me.

He looked at me weirdly. Anyways, I don't care. I went past him and paid the bill. 

So, hello. I am MC, this is real me. A simple and Careless girl? I walked on the road as I licked my Icecream.

I looked at the sky. The sun is gonna hide and the moon is gonna shine.  I smiled and walked again.

Someone pulled me by my arm, I gripped the Ice Cream, since it is important.

I was pinned to a wall. before I could shout, a strong smell hit my nose. Everything went black.

______________________

I opened my eyes to see myself on a sofa. I sat on the sofa. Where is this place? I looked around only to see more computers and hacking stuff.

A man with a hoodie shirt entered, he had jet black messy hair with blue eyes. Suddenly I remembered something, "Hey! Where is my Ice Cream?!" I shouted at him.

"If you want to kidnap me, why don't you do after I finished my Ice Cream?!" I shouted continuously. "What the-" he muttered.

"Do you know how much I like Ice Cream? How can you-" he cut off me by pressing his hand on my mouth.

"Oh my god, can you please close your mouth?" He asked. I tried to talk, but only muffled sound came.

I licked his palm, he took his hand back suddenly. "Eew," he said as he wiped his palm on his pant. I giggled at his reaction.

"Who are you?" I asked him. "Shouldn't that be your first question?" He questioned. I rolled my eyes "Don't answer a question with another question," I said.

"I am a Hacker," he said. "Oh, what a coincidence, me too Mr. Kidnapper," I said as I held out my hand.

He starred at me like I am not talking with him. I sighed and took my hand back.

"Alright, tell me why you kidnapped me," I said. "I want your help," he replied.

"What? Mr. Kidnapper want my help?" I asked dramatically. "Stop calling me like that," he said annoyed.

"What made you think that I will obey you?" I asked. He sighed "look, it is important. I want your help to hack into this system," he said seriously.

"Which system?" I questioned. "We are going to hack the highly protected system," he said. "But why did you chose me to help you?" I questioned him again.

"Because.....," He trailed. "Hmm?" I waited for an answer. "Because you defended my attack one hour ago, this evening," he said with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"So you are the one who tried to hack into our system?" I asked with a Chuckle. "Alright, why do you need my help, Mr. Kidnapper?" I asked.

"Look, They are doing the wrong thing," he started to explain why he wants to hack into their system.

____________________

He explained everything and showed me some proof that they are doing the wrong business. He is really saying the truth.

So, I decided to help him. And this project will take nearly five to six days since it takes time to hack and download their data.

"So, will you help me?" He asked me. "What will I get if I helped you?" I asked as I crossed my arms against my chest. "What do you want?" He asked back.

"Icecream," I said casually. He frowned "Ice cream?" He repeated. "Yes, I am gonna stay here with you until we finish our work right?"I asked. He nodded.

"So, per hour an Ice cream. We can count the hours, when we finish our work let's check the time and calculate the hours I stayed with you," I said.

He starred at me without saying anything. "Deal?" I questioned as I held my hand out. He thought for some seconds "Alright, deal," he said as he shook my hand with his.

I looked at my wristwatch "now the time is 7:00 p.m," I said. "Alright let's start our work," he said as he gave me a chair to sit.

I sat on the chair, he sat beside me on another chair. We started to work on the project.

It's been 5 mins, I took a glance at Mr. Kidnapper who is beside me working seriously.

I looked at his side face, he had a perfect Jawline. I slowly moved my eyes to his blue eyes which were now looking straight at me!

Crap. "What are you looking at?" He questioned. "N-nothing," I shuttered as I turned back to my computer.

I felt his eyes burning on me, I gulped. My phone started to ring, I took that as I am about to attend Mr. Kidnapper snatched my phone from my hand.

"Hey!" I said. He switched off my mobile, "what are you doing, Mr. Kidnapper?" I asked. "They will easily track your phone," he replied.

I didn't speak anything since it is true. Aish. I sighed. We continued our work.

________________

We cracked the first wall. It is 11 at night, I am so sleepy. If it went like this, I am sure I will get panda eyes the next day.

"I am sleepy," I said with my sleepy voice. "Oh, alright. Go and sleep on the sofa, let's continue tomorrow," he said as he pointed to the sofa.

I stood and went to the sofa with my half eyes open. I plopped on the sofa and drifted to sleep.

________________________

I sat on the sofa and rubbed my Sleepy eyes with the back of my hand. After I awake fully, I stood and stretched.

I then looked at the person who is on the chair. I went near Mr. Kidnapper who kept his arms on the table near the computer as fell asleep on his arms.

I took a good look at his face, he had perfect-sized eyelashes. His pink-colored lips. I smiled "Have a good sleep, Mr. Hacker," I said as I stroke his hair which is on his eyes.

I sat near him as I started to work.

After an hour he woke up and was startled to see me. I smiled "Good morning, Mr. Hacker," I said. "When did I change from Mr. Kidnapper to Mr. Hacker?" He asked with his morning voice.

I chuckled. He stood and went somewhere and came back after 5 mins with coffee in his hands. "Here," he said as he passed me one.

I sniffed it, "ha~ it smells so good," I said. He smiled.

___________________

It's been 3 days, I went to my house yesterday to take some of my clothes and inform my so-called boss that I am out of the city.

Now I and Mr. Hacker sitting simply since the data download process is taking more time.

"Hey Mr. Hacker, it is boring," I whined. He looked at me "what should I do?" He asked me.

I sat on the chair briskly now, "Tell me something about you," I asked. "No," he said whilst looking at the computer.

"Tch...," I said.

____________________

It is now the 6th day. We hacked into their highly protected system and collecting the data's. I asked more about Mr. Hacker in these days, but he didn't tell me. I don't even know his name.

The screen shows 95%, we started counting "96.....97....98....99...100!!" We shouted as he lifted me by my waist and spun me.

"We made it," we said in unison as we looked into each other's eyes. Then he realised that he is carrying me. He slowly lifted me down.

He cleared his throat "Thanks for your help," he said. "Alright, so when you gonna buy me Ice Cream?" I reminded him.

"Let's calculate," I said as I looked at my watch. "Our deal started at 7 p.m and It is the 6th day I am staying here and the time now is 5:21, so...5+24+24+24+24+24+17 equal to.....142!!" I shouted happily.

"Are you gonna eat this much Ice Cream now?" He asked me as he turned to his computer. "That's why I planned to stay with you, hereafter. So that you can buy me whenever I want. So, can I stay with you?" I asked with a grin.

I know he is smiling now even I can't see his face. "Is that a yes?" I asked. He remained silent "I will take that as a yes," I said.

Guys support me if you like this. Just comment and like that's enough :)

My Reaction to “Avengers Endgame”

Yes- I still haven’t seen this movie.  Yes I know exactly what happens in this movie.  I mainly avoided it for a while due to overhype but with some convincing from my brother, Imma sit my butt down and try to watch this.

Pressing... play!

Right off the bat, I feel like I should warn you guys and say that I have... my opinions... about stuff.  Plus I’m a dumbass about Marvel so just bear with me.

I like that Disney Plus has to warn us about product placement

Clint!

Are we gonna see little Nathaniel running around- THERE he is!

We are gonna see Clint’s entire family get freaking obliterated

Is all the rumbling from the sky or are those airplanes freaking crashing to Earth in the distance?

What if they pulled a reverse WandaVision and showed the people getting snapped out of existence in a future film or show?  That would be freaking terrifying.

They’re [Tony and Nebula] playing paper football...

I wanna see more of THEIR interactions aboard the Milano.  The shots of them just repairing the ship are great too.

“I’m fine.  Totally fine.”  Everyone ever.

I also like you see the visual difference between Tony and Nebula.  While he’s growing gaunt and haggard from loss of oxygen, you can still see that Nebula looks absolutely fine because she’s like 75% android

So between 1995 and now, what the heck has Carol been up to?

“Thanos wiped out... 50% of all living creatures.”  So like entire ecosystems are just demolished.

*anthropology major part of my brain scrambling for answers*

“We lost.  And you [Steve] weren’t there.”  HE WAS IN WAKANDA!

Wait so the arc reactor ISN’T in Tony’s chest anymore?

“Where the hell have you [Carol] been all this time?”  Good question!

*silently bops to opening theme*

For some reason, I just really want the ship radio to randomly turn on so you just see everyone sitting awkwardly as “Piano Man” plays over the speakers

*Thanos slowly cooks his food*  Faster, all together now!  COOKING CAN BE FUN!

“I [Thanos] used the stones to destroy the stones.”  ...what?

“I am...[Thanos] inevitable.”  *starts humming “Inevitable” from TGWDLM*

“I [Thor] went for the head.”  YES YOU DID

[FIVE YEARS LATER] All righty so we’re doing this

*gasps*  Is... Steve running the therapy sit downs like Sam did in “The Winter Soldier”?  That’s awesome.  I really like this tidbit.

I’m also really liking Alan Silvestri’s score for this so far

I’m really trying not to nitpick but I feel like it would take more than 5 years for greenery to just completely overtake a suburban neighborhood

Also wow pre COVID life looks great you guys

“There’s a part of me that doesn’t even wanna find him.”  Are they talking about... Clint?  Is Clint just going the full vigilante route?

DOES HE KILL PEOPLE?!?

I really like Steve and Natasha’s friendship in these movies but for some reason I don’t feel like we get enough of Natasha for me to get behind her on an emotional standpoint

Are they gonna use the quantum realm to jumpstart the multiverse for Phase 4?

Also speaking of multiverse, I honestly really don’t want Spiderman:  No Way Home or Wandavision to get too cluttered by that

I like Tony’s lake house.  And he got a whole vegetable garden going too.  Kudos!

The little kid who plays Morgan Stark is adorable

“Not if we strictly follow the rules of time travel.”  Which we obviously won’t.

“We’re gonna need a really big brain.”  So where the [expletive] is Banner?

“Stranger danger.”  *snorts*

“Dab!”  *rolls eyes*

So is the whole Professor Hulk thing permanent?  I know he’s gonna be in the She-Hulk show but I’m wondering how they’re gonna tackle that.  And they’re gonna have Tim Roth too!

*smiles when Tony takes Morgan to bed*

Steve Rogers here [when they do the first time travel tests] is a Look ™

Maybe don’t let the GIANT GREEN MAN keep pressing a bunch of tiny tiny important buttons on a dashboard

*laughs at Steve shaking his head in disbelief when they finally bring Scott back*

*Tony’s car races toward the Avengers base*  NYOOOMMMM

*Tony rolls down his window*  It’s Britney, bitch

“And maybe not die trying.”  And you definitely will.

This whole bit where Scott keeps losing his dorito only to get another one from Bruce feels like a Doritos commercial.

*jams out to "Supersonic Rocket Ship by The Kinks*

Did they just keep reducing the green pigment for Hulk or what?

*sighs when they reveal Fat!Thor*

MIEK’S ALIVE!

Please tell me Noobmaster69 is Kid Loki, whom we meet in the Loki series

“Don’t... say that name.”  “Yeah we actually don’t say that name here.”  I like this.  I like that Thor has so much resentment for killing Thanos at the wrong time and that he felt that could have done better cause he’s A GOD.  So the fact that THANOS was on equal level and BEAT HIM-

Hawkeye’s killing people

This sword fight’s great [between the Yakuza person and Clint]

WHY DIDN’T THEY BUILD ON THIS [Clint and Natasha’s connection] ???

*laughs when Rhodey suggests killing baby Thanos*

These shots of Clint going through the Quantum Realm looks like something straight out of Andy Park’s concept art and that’s awesome

“Well I [Scott] haven’t [encountered an Infinity Stone] but I don’t even know what the hell you’re all talking about.”  *snorts*

“The Aether, firstly, is not a stone.”  Thank you!

The little glance Nebula gives after Thor mentions the Dark Elves just make me think that somewhere down the road, she has either A) encountered them or B) has encountered other Asgardians besides Thor

“Guys if you pick the right year, there are three stones in New York.”  “Shut the front door.”  *laughs*

Also underrated trio:  Steve, Natasha, and Bruce.  Gimme more.

Wait a minute, in 2012, Doctor Strange wasn’t active yet.  So are they gonna go see- OOOOOOOHHHHHH

[NEW YORK 2012] Oh here we go

*cracks up when Bruce very half-assedly smashes stuff on the street*

“I’m looking for Doctor Strange.”  “You’re about five years too early.”  Wait a minute.

HOW DOES SHE [the Ancient One] KNOW?!?

*giggles at Thor and Rocket sneaking in the background with a bored Loki in focus*

“That’s my [Thor’s] mother.  She dies today.”  I love this scene already.

Also WHY IS THOR- or the Thor films in general- have like the most well written characters in the whole canon?

It’s those movies, Guardians 2, The Winter Soldier, Civil War, aaand.... I can’t think of any more of them. 

Oh yeah and WANDAVISION cause THAT HIT ME LIKE A TRUCK-

Rocket just said he thinks of the Guardians as his family I’m gonna die...

What about their [Natasha and Rhodey’s] friendship?!?  I want more of that!

“Ronan’s obsession... clouds his judgment.”  ...HUH

*Thanos uses his sword to lift up Nebula’s chin*  Aw heck no

“As far as I’m concerned, that’s America’s ass.”  *has to take a second before nodding in agreement*

Wait is that Jasper Stillwell?

“Flick me.”  That bit alone could be taken out of context

“We’re in route to Doctor List.”  Who’s Doctor List?  Is that a code name?

“Hail Hydra.”  THE BASTARDS WENT AND DID IT

Please tell me this hand off scene is gonna be the opening for the Loki show.  Please tell me this is gonna happen.

*Loki takes the Tesseract again*  AND HE’S GOOONNNEE!!

LET’S GET TO FREAKING JUNE ALREADY!

*ends up quoting “Yeah, I know, I know” along with Steve*

I’m really glad Tilda Swinton actually came back for this cameo

*keeps slapping my laptop screen when people keep saying Doctor Strange made a mistake when it was an explicit point in Infinity War where he encountered 14 million other AUs to find the best result*

Are you telling me that this whole plan could derail because Nebula accidentally hacked into her own WiFI network?  Are you seriously doing this?

*Thanos and Ebony Maw scan Nebula’s duplicate memory bank and track her down*  Are you freaking kidding me?

...I have 96 minutes left?!?

“The future hasn’t been kind to you [Thor], has it?”  Frigga is underrated

So for these shots with Jane, are they just reusing different shots from Thor 2 or just footage from deleted scenes?

Can we talk about how Frigga is absolutely the best parent Thor has?  Meanwhile her husband ODIN is like “oh yeah by the way you have a secret sister totes magotes i’ll die now byeeee”

*sings along with “Come and Get Your Love” by Redbone*

*laughs when we cut to Quill just very badly singing along to his iPod in the distance*

I want a bonus short with just Rhodey and Nebula doing their thing

*Nebula gets her memory taken over by 2014 Thanos*  Nooooooo...

Are the glasses that Tony wears here part of EDITH from “Far From Home” or are they like a prototype?

Also I haven’t seen “Far From Home” yet because Sony hates me

Doctor Zola?!?

*jams out to the music playing when we see Hank Pym’s lab*

“A little girl would be nice.  Less of a chance that she’ll end up exactly like me [Howard Stark].”  *gasps softly*

Oh my God, he’s [Steve] in Peggy’s office

Alan Silvestri is really killing it with this score

JARVIS!!

Wait and that’s the guy from “Agent Carter”!

Ohhh that shot’s [of Thanos’s ship coming out of the clouds] awesome...

*2014 Nebula hands Thanos the Pym particles*  Oh are you kidding me...

The CGI for Red Skull is also awesome

*gasps when Natasha reveals that she never knew her dad’s name when Red Skull told it to her*

*is super bummed out when Natasha sacrifices herself*

Kevin Feige really went and said “so Phases 3 and 4 are gonna make everybody cry” and the writers went “YES”

Wait doesn’t Cap go and return the stones at the end of the movie?  How’s he gonna handle meeting Red Skull on Vormir then?

“It’s like... I [Bruce] was made for this.”  Please someone get Mark Ruffalo his own Hulk movie before he combusts from giving out more spoilers

So Thanos used the Pym particles to time travel then.  Honestly that’s kinda genius

I just noticed that Scott shrank himself right as the explosion hit the windows

I really want someone to just drop one F-bomb somewhere in the MCU and I really hope it’s Clint because he would 100% say it

*starts singing “Hollaback Girl” when Thanos arrives*

Here’s my question;  how did Thanos acquire Nebula then?  With Gamora, it was with the genocide of her people.

“We [Gamora to Nebula] can stop him.”  LET’S GO!

[Thor uses his storm powers to summon both Stormbreaker and Mjolnir] *softly* Ohhhhh that’s badass...

Now I’m just imagining the cast just in the green screen room just hitting Josh Brolin with a bunch of foam weapons and making all the sound effects while poor Josh is just struggling under the weight of the Thanos reference head on his mocap suit

Who does the voice for FRIDAY?

AN:  Irish actress named Kerry Condon

*Steve deems himself worth to wield Mjolnir*  OKKAAYY OKAAYY

Love how Thanos is like “yes, I’m gonna stab you with an AXE”

“In all my years of conquest...”  Steve you suuuucckkk...

Are we getting the Chitauri again?

“On your left.”  *laughs incredulously*  O-ohhh my God...

*Everyone starts coming out of the portals*  Oh my God I’m getting chills

I would have lost my mind in the theater

I HAVE ACTUAL GOOSEBUMPS RUNNING ALL OVER ME.  This is how good this is

WAIT ARE THOSE THE RAVAGER SHIPS ABOVE THEM?!?

“Avengers... assemble.”  Oh my God this is amazing!

M’BAKU!

Also “Endgame” really just said “We are KILLING FOOLS TODAY”

How are they gonna tackle Peter and Gamora’s relationship in Guardians 3?

[Horn plays La Cucaracha] LET’S GO

God I’m gonna turn feral

*has to pause to scream in excitement when Wanda touches down in front of Thanos to fight him*

*puts hands on head*  OHH MY GOOOOODDDDD

They’re literally just playing Keep Away with a teenage boy.  Marvel, everybody.

*Captain Marvel destroys Thanos’s ship*  WELL IT TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH

OK I got mixed feelings about that [the girl power team up scene]

*Thanos unsuccessfully headbutts Carol*  Oh shit!

*Doctor Strange holds up one finger*  Oh my God this is it

Someone definitely tore off when Thanos pushed Tony off

It was in that moment he [Thanos] knew- he effed up

*All of Thanos’s army dissipates*  Byeee...

Is it bad that I’m not crying at Tony’s death?

*gasps when Peter reunites with Ned at school*

Wait the whole time heist takes place within ONE DAY?

“I love you 3000.”  I really hope we see Morgan again somewhere in one of the movies or shows.  Actually a cool way to reincorporate her would be in the Ironheart series whenever they make it

Even Drax is wearing black!

It’s the “We should be getting therapy but we got a TV show instead” trio [Wanda, Bucky, and Sam]

Wait is that guy- was that guy- the little kid from Iron Man 3?

AN:  Yes

So right after this funeral, Wanda’s gonna storm SWORD right?

AN:  This was finished up on 2/26 so probably YES

*Thor crowns Valkyrie the new leader of New Asgard*  I now cannot wait for “Thor Love and Thunder”

Wait Peter’s looking for Gamora!

Still cannot believe that the time travel suits are completely CGI

I know they had a body double for Chris Evans here but I do think it would have been cool if they used the body double’s voice for Old Steve instead of Chris trying to sound old

He [Steve] put the shield in an art portfolio bag...

*says “No, no I don’t think I will” along with Steve*

*silently jams out to “It’s Been a Long, Long Time” playing during the credits*

Wait and that was the song Fury was playing in “Winter Soldier”

Oh they even got the actual signatures!  That’s awesome!

[neverheardnothing]

hello. over my tumblr break a few months ago i got bored enough to count the frequencies of every word in joe iconis songs and i don’t know what else to do with this info so here y’all go. every word in joe iconis songs with 10+ occurrences in descending order but i also factored out the 250 most common words in the english language badly (warning, this is a 484 item long list).

If you were making a mixtape (or I guess Spotify playlist or whatev) for someone who had never heard the Indigo Girls before, what would you put on it?

OOH thank you, I love this question!! 

I hate spotify so much, but if I didn’t I would make a legit playlist over there (maybe I will?)-- as it stands this is just a tracklist. I’m putting an explanation of the list below a cut, hopefully it won’t flood anyone’s dash with a text wall!!

1) Closer to Fine2) Land of Canaan3) Kid Fears, live with Trina Meade4) You and Me of the 10,000 Wars5) Three Hits6) Watershed7) Galileo8) Romeo and Juliet (cover)9) Power of Two 10) Mystery11) Reunion12) Language or the Kiss 13) Shame on You14) Get Out the Map15) Go16) Ozilline17) Fill It Up Again18) Heartache for Everyone19) Cordova20) Lay My Head Down21) Pendulum Swinger22) Three County Highway23) True Romantic (!!!!!)24) I’ll Change25) Share the Moon26) Southern California is Your Girlfriend27) Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright (cover)28) Shit Kickin’

1) Closer to Fine-- this is the song that people are most likely to know, a true classic. Boppy and fun, but with that noodle-y philosophizing I love from Emily. 

2) Land of Canaan-- an Amy song that defines her early songwriting style and hints at her love of rock and punk with the driving guitar. 

3) Kid Fears-- hauntingly layered, with a special appearance by Michael Stipe. Though tbh I prefer the version from Staring Down the Brilliant Dream (their most recent live album) with Trina Meade of Three5Human. When she comes in with “are you on fire?” it’s-- electric. I think the first time I heard it I gasped and clutched my chest. 

4) You and Me of the 10,000 Wars-- perhaps a bit of a deep cut, but one of my favorite early Emily songs. This was a great time for Emily, songwriting wise imo. 

5) Three Hits-- I think Amy was kind of starting to experiment with her sound here and also trying to push beyond the typical personal style of writing that often marks folk rock/singer-songwriter music. Also I’m soft for this entire album (rites of passage); I remember buying it at the mall on cassette with money I got at Christmas. 

6) Watershed-- this song has BIG Saturn return vibes, and has the absolutely excellent line, “every five years or so I look back on my life and have a good laugh.” 

7) Galileo-- another Emily song (I’m not kidding when I say she killed it lyrically from around ‘90-’96 or so) that touches on big philosophical questions with a kind of refreshing lightheartedness. This one is another song many people will have heard before. 

8) Romeo and Juliet (cover)-- this song gets better with each live performance, so it would be fair to include a live version. But I like the album version just as well, and you can’t deny the punch of a dyke singing about the girl who loved her and left her. 

9) Power of Two-- another classic. Soft af. Goddamn it Emily Saliers you beautiful lesbian bard, you really just wrote A Very Gay Experience into a song just like that. 

10) Mystery-- Emily is getting her due right now bc Amy is gonna rise up a few albums later and kick ass. This song, though? So, so gay. I have thought about the lyrics once a day for the past 25 years or so, probably. “Maybe that’s all that we need is to meet in the middle of impossibility?” YES GIRL, my inner dyke and my outer dyke are all screaming. 

11) Reunion-- musically I think this song just does some nice stuff, ok? Also fuckin’ relatable if you’ve ever gone to a reunion and been like-- ehhhh this could end badly but here we go. 

12) Language or the Kiss-- had to add another Emily song because this one is just. so good, ok?? this album is prime Emily!!!!

13) Shame on You-- this one got a lot of radio play in my hometown, and I remember rolling down the window and driving with it blasting. Amy was really starting to push into more overtly political lyrics and you can see it on this song. 

14) Get Out the Map-- perfect roadtrip song! Classic Emily vibes!!

15) Go-- Amy gets rockier, with some nice crunchy guitars (please forgive me for not knowing the right words but like. the guitars sound dirty and a little distorted, it’s like chewing chips in your ears in a good way). This is one of the first albums where her skill for heart-twisting lyrics rises up: “did they tell you you would come undone if you tried to touch the sun? Use your years to psych you out? ‘You’re too old to care, you’re too young to count’? Go, go, go.” 

16) Ozilline-- also Amy explores a slightly more bluegrassy sound? I appreciate that songwriting-wise she’s basically pushing herself in two directions on this album: political but not first person and hyper-personal direct narrative. This one is the latter and you feel it. 

17) Fill It Up Again-- another solid Emily bop! (I should mention I’m not putting on anything from Become You bc while I adore it I think it’s one of their weaker albums over all-- it was one of their last for epic and they were READY to get off a big label, so maybe they rushed it?

18) Heartache for Everyone-- one of my fave Amy songs of all time, would love to hear this covered by so many people. I just love it. Everything. 

19) Cordova-- I am absolutely just including this because it breaks my heart? Idek why. I think I just have such a strong mental picture that goes along with it that’s informed by nothing other than a story I think works with it and. Yeah. It’s not typical of an Amy song musically but I love that. 

20) Lay My Head Down-- a little sloppy lyrically, but the heart of it is beautiful. 

21) Pendulum Swinger-- typical Emily political song, very crunchy and green and honestly middle of the road gay democrat, but in a way that’s actually not the most shitty? 

22) Three County Highway-- a spare and lovely Amy song with slight country vibes. 

23) True Romantic-- this song. THIS FUCKING SONG. it’s gorgeous, it’s raw, and there’s something about it coming out in Amy’s raspy voice that makes it a gut punch! I yell about it every few months. I want very much for Louis Tomlinson to cover it and of course he never will. The injustice. 

24) I’ll Change-- I think this song stands right up with Emily’s earlier stuff. Honestly Poseidon and the Bitter Bug is a truly solid album and it’s hard to pick only a couple of songs from it. 

25) Share the Moon-- a tender and lovely Amy song, the only one I really like off this album (Beauty Queen Sister). I tried listening to the rest of the album so much and ended up putting this song on repeat instead. 

26) Southern California is Your Girlfriend-- ever since I saw a video of Amy and Emily playing this song while Amy’s kid sat listening I was in love. It’s different for Amy but in such a good way. 

27) Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright (cover)-- this is a great live cover that has Michelle Malone on guest vocals. She was such a staple on their tours for such a long time (and maybe still is, but not on the west coast). 

28) Shit Kickin-- this one is off their upcoming album, and it’s such a good playlist ender? It’s got a kind of funky vibe with lyrics that talk about the pitfalls and problems and pride of southern culture in a way that really resonates with me as a southerner. 

somehow I managed to keep that pretty even--subtracting the two covers i think that Emily and Amy each have 13 songs on here. I might make a somewhat different list on a different day, but this is about right. I would also suggest someone listen to Poseidon and the Bitter Bug, Rites of Passage, Swamp Ophelia, and Staring Down the Brilliant Dream if they wanted a deeper dive into what I think are some of the best albums/songs over all. (Maybe All That We Let In, too).

81. Has someone who had a crush on you ever confessed to you? Yeah

82. Do you tell a lot of people when you have a crush? Noooooooo I don’t tell anyone until I’m actually with that person.
